An ex-U.S. Coast Guard member, now OnlyFans model, is potentially facing a lengthy prison term after allegedly orchestrating the murder of a man she accused of raping her. She led him to the woods of an Ohio national park and killed him.

Court records reveal that Chelsea Perkins confessed to second-degree murder concerning the 2021 killing of 31-year-old Matthew Dunmire. The incident occurred at Cuyahoga Valley National Park near Cleveland. Hikers found Dunmire’s body in the Terra Vista Natural Study Area of the park around 11 a.m. on March 9, 2021. He had a fatal gunshot wound to the head, and an Aquafina water bottle lay beside him, according to an arrest affidavit.

Investigations by the FBI indicated that Dunmire had been with friends and colleagues at a bar four days before his body was found. He had informed them of plans to meet a woman visiting the area for the weekend. Witnesses observed him entering a white car with her and driving away.

License plate readers showed the car belonged to Perkins’ husband. Investigators later learned that the pair drove to an Airbnb that the defendant had rented using her credit card. After spending the night with Dunmire, Perkins sent a Facebook message to her tattoo artist in metro Detroit that she was in Cleveland and was going to “make a stop first” before driving to Michigan, according to investigators.

The pair drove to the national park on the morning of March 6, 2021. Hikers said they heard a gunshot between 11:30 a.m. and 11:50 a.m. Another pair of hikers reported encountering a woman later confirmed to be Perkins, who was walking and appeared to be lost. They thought it was odd she was wearing knee-high boots and not hiking gear.

Perkins then drove to the tattoo parlor in Michigan. Agents keyed in on Perkins as a suspect and found the same car parked outside her husband’s home in Virginia a couple of weeks later.

The suspect’s DNA was also found on the Aquafina bottle as well as on Dunmire’s body, per cops.

After her short stint in the Coast Guard, Perkins went on to become an OnlyFans model under the name Sabrina Savage, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported. As for Perkins’ rape allegation against Dunmire, police in Virginia Beach said there was not enough evidence to move forward with the charge, the newspaper reports.

The case took a twist in November 2021 when Dunmire’s parents, upset that Perkins had not yet been arrested, took matters into their own hands. Dunmire’s mother, Tommie Lynn Dunmire, and father, John Nelson McQuillen, drove to Washington, D.C., with plans on killing Perkins, according to feds.

Tommie Lynn Dunmire dressed as a UPS driver and knocked on an apartment door. When a woman answered, she shot her twice in the abdomen.

The problem? The woman who answered the door was not Perkins — the older Dunmire had just shot a woman who had nothing to do with her son’s murder.
