Former American Idol contestant Caleb Flynn faces tougher charges in the February 16th killing

of his wife Ashley in their tip-city Ohio home.

Ashley, a volleyball coach and mother of two, died in what Caleb first called a break-in

early that morning.

He was arrested three days later on initial murder counts.

This month, a new indictment added serious accusations, including two counts of witness

intimidation, two more murder charges, and one count of aggravated murder.

Prosecutors say the intimidation attempts happened between February 16th and 18th, right before

his arrest.

Ashley's family has shared their heartbreak, saying she brought light to their lives and

praising authorities for a careful arrest.

Their two young daughters were home during the incident.

Caleb once appeared on season 12 of the show where he gushed about his wife.

In total, he's now charged with one count of aggravated murder, three murders, two

felonious assaults, three tamperings with evidence, and two witness.

Intimidations.

He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment last Thursday.

The case moves forward as investigators piece together what happened that night, with

Caleb awaiting his next court date.
