Summary
Investigators searched storm drains, culverts, vehicles and attic insulation but never found the handgun prosecutors say Caleb Flynn used to kill his wife Ashley Flynn, a Tipp City detective testified Monday.
Nearly 24 South Carolina gun stores also failed to produce purchase records tying a firearm to Flynn or Ashley, even after police tried to identify the make, model and serial number.
Autopsy testimony said Ashley Flynn suffered 2 close-range gunshot wounds to the back of her head, with one bullet exiting her skull and reentering her left arm before being recovered.
Crime-scene witnesses told jurors damage on a side garage door looked inconsistent with forced entry, supporting prosecutors' claim the home invasion was staged, though defense lawyers noted no blood-spatter analysis was done and no spatter was found on Flynn's clothing.
Prosecutors also moved to introduce 107,655 lines of Microsoft data tied to Flynn's email, laying groundwork for messages they say he exchanged with his mistress.
