Summary
In every case like this, there's a risk that the victim becomes a footnote in someone else's story. This episode makes sure that doesn't happen to Ashley Flynn.
She graduated from Tippecanoe High School and Lee University. She came home to Tipp City and never left. She taught elementary school, substituted across the district, coached seventh-grade girls volleyball, and taught bible lessons at LifeWise Academy. The school district said she was known for her warmth, her kindness, and the impact she had on everyone around her. She was 37 years old and eight days from her birthday when she was killed.
What happened after her death says as much about Ashley as anything from her life. Over $175,000 raised for her daughters. A church forced to cancel a public memorial because the man accused of killing her had stood at the front of that sanctuary leading worship. A family that retained lawyers and went to court to protect two little girls before the criminal case even had a trial date.
Part 3 of four. Ashley Flynn was a person before she was a case. This episode is about making sure that's never forgotten.

| 0:00.0 | This is Hidden Killers with Tony Brewski. Here now, Tony Brucey. |
| 0:07.3 | Ashley Flynn died eight days before her 38th birthday. She spent her life teaching other people's children how to be better on the volleyball court in the classroom. |
| 0:17.7 | In Bible study groups, she was the kind of person. A school district doesn't usually |
| 0:22.3 | write public statements about, but Tip City, schools did. They called her someone known for her |
| 0:28.0 | beautiful smile, warmth, kindness, and the positive impact she had on so many, both in and |
| 0:34.8 | out of the classroom and on the court. |
| 0:40.0 | School districts choose their words carefully. |
| 0:42.8 | They don't throw around language like that unless it's earned. And in Ashley Flynn's case, the people who knew her, colleagues, parents, students, |
| 0:47.2 | neighbors, church members, have been remarkably consistent in how they described her, |
| 0:52.0 | not performatively, not in a way that grief sometimes inflates a person's |
| 0:57.1 | memory, but with the pain, the plain, steady clarity of people who simply lost someone who mattered. |

| 1:20.4 | You heard about that story. |
| 1:21.5 | This episode is about how she lived. |
| 1:25.4 | Because in a case, it's become defined by a 911 call, a body cam video, and an 11-count |
| 1:31.6 | indictment. |
| 1:32.3 | It's easy to forget that before any of that, before the headlines and the courtroom |
| 1:37.4 | sketches and the true crime coverage, there was a woman, a real one, and her absence |
| 1:43.4 | has left a hole in Tip City that the trial, whatever its outcome, will never fill. |
| 1:51.6 | Ashley was born and raised in Tip City. |
