Trial Of Caleb Flynn Day 1: First Officer Didn’t Record WHAT?

The prosecution’s first witnesses put timestamps on the opening minutes of the Caleb Flynn case: a 911 call at 2:31 a.m., an officer arriving five minutes later, and an initial conversation with Caleb that jurors will never see on body-camera video.

Beth Hull, director of the Miami County Communication Center, was the prosecution’s first witness after the jury reviewed the scene. Hull testified that she retrieved the records and audio from the February 16, 2026 call placed by Caleb Flynn. Prosecutors played that 911 recording in court.

Sgt. Corey Rismiller testified that he was the first Tipp City police officer to arrive, reaching the home at approximately 2:36 a.m.

Rismiller said he checked the residence for other people and found none. He then went to the bedroom and testified that Ashley Flynn had significant trauma around her head and was deceased. Rismiller secured the scene, notified detectives, and EMS personnel entered afterward.

One part of his testimony directly addressed how Caleb was treated during those first minutes. Rismiller testified that he never considered or treated Caleb as a suspect while he was handling the initial response.

Then came the body camera.

On cross-examination, Rismiller testified that his camera did not activate automatically. He realized it was not recording and manually switched it on. As a result, his first conversation with Caleb Flynn was not captured.

The defense also questioned Rismiller about his homicide experience. He testified that he had worked one homicide in Tipp City, sometime in the early 2000s.

Caleb Flynn has pleaded not guilty to the charges involving the death of his wife, Ashley Flynn. Prosecutors allege the scene was staged to look like a burglary. The defense maintains that the home invasion actually happened and investigators later rushed toward Caleb as their suspect.
