Wife of 'American Idol' Alum Shot Dead in Bed: Hubby, Daughters, Unharmed

Caleb Flynn calls 911 at 2:30 a.m. on February 16, claiming a burglar has entered his Ohio home and shot his wife, Ashley Flynn, twice in the head.

Flynn, a former music pastor, tells the dispatcher that he was not in the room at the time; he was with their daughters in their room, and they are still asleep.

When Tipp City officers arrive, they find signs of an apparent forced entry.

Ashley Flynn was a substitute teacher/volleyball coach and the mother of two daughters who will now grow up without her.

Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the Red Flags in the 911 call, as well as the story Caleb Flynn told.

The story has garnered national headlines, as Caleb Flynn appeared on "American Idol" in 2013, making it to the "Hollywood Week" episode before being eliminated.
