An autopsy was carried out Tuesday morning for a Christian mother of two from Ohio found deceased in her residence, as authorities navigate what they describe as a multifaceted homicide case.

The Tipp City Police Department announced that the autopsy for 37-year-old Ashley Flynn has been completed. The findings are awaited, with investigators diligently pursuing leads and scrutinizing evidence gathered during the autopsy to further the investigation.

Flynn, who worked as a substitute teacher, was discovered dead early Monday. Officers responded around 2:30 a.m. to a reported burglary in progress in her suburban neighborhood in Tipp City, Ohio. Authorities previously confirmed she had suffered a gunshot wound and was declared dead at the location.

In an update on Tuesday, officials stated that investigators worked until late into the night to secure the scene and returned the following morning to continue their meticulous search for and documentation of additional evidence.

After the reported break-in early Monday, law enforcement met with Flynn’s husband, 39-year-old Caleb Flynn, and their two children inside the home.

The department said it is utilizing all available staff and resources and is working in collaboration with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. The Miami County Sheriff’s Office, the Miami County Prosecutor’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are also providing investigative support.

Authorities acknowledged ongoing public concern about whether a suspect has been identified, sharing that investigators are continuing to review tips, process evidence and examine possible motives. As of Tuesday afternoon, no suspects had been identified by police.

Lifewise Academy announced on Facebook a time for the community to gather in prayer following Flynn’s death. 

“We are heartbroken by the passing of our teacher, Ashley Flynn,” Lifewise Academy wrote. “We know God is close.”

Flynn was a substitute teacher for Tipp City Schools and a volleyball coach at Tippecanoe Middle School. The district described her as someone known for her warmth, kindness and positive impact on students.

“She was known for her beautiful smile, warmth, kindness and the positive impact she had on so many — both in and out of the classroom and on the court,” the school district said.

Christian Life Center in Butler Township also described Flynn as a beloved member of the church. In a statement, Pastor Jordan Hansen said she was “murdered in her home” and asked for prayers for her husband, two daughters and extended family.

“Ashley Flynn is with Jesus. Please pray for her husband and two daughters and extended family left behind. Please pray for [the] ongoing investigation. Please pray for God’s very presence to bring comfort to an unfathomable situation,” he said in a Facebook post. “We need Jesus and His grace in the ‘What now?’”
