What began as a miss

Newly released body-cam footage shows former American Idol hopeful Caleb Flynn outside his home in the early morning hours, crying while attempting to explain what he said had happened inside his home last month.

When officers arrived, Ashley Flynn, 37, a beloved local coach and teacher, was found unresponsive in bed, while the couple’s children remained asleep in their rooms.

The release also includes video from inside the police department following the incident, along with separate footage showing Flynn being taken into custody in the department lobby.

Newly released body-

On August 28, 2019, an excavator operator working on 9th Street East near Lake Tapps in Washington noticed something unusual, a sealed yard waste container. Inside, authorities found the remains of an unidentified woman wrapped in a blanket.

The area is known more for residential neighborhoods and open views of Mount Rainier than for a discovery like this. At the time there were no immediate answers about who she was and with no identification available, she was listed as Jane Doe.

For years investigators worked the case as best they could, but her name remained a mystery. Then in 2025, forensic genetic genealogy provided the breakthrough. Investigators submitted a DNA sample for forensic genetic genealogy testing with Othram. Through advanced DNA analysis and family tree research, the woman was able to get her name back. She was Linda Lee Schock, born February 14, 1966.

With her identity now confirmed, detectives are working to piece together how she ended up there and who may have been responsible.

Anyone with information about Linda Lee Schock or the circumstances surrounding what may have happened to her is asked to contact the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department.
