For those who missed it at first get the story here
Here is the Update of Investigations so far ....
The body of 26-year-old Adaobi Michaella Obih, an
Electrical Engineering Ph.D student, was found on
Tuesday Nov 19th at an apartment at Riverstone
Apartments in Columbus, Indiana.
According to Fox News, Columbus police obtained an
arrest warrant for a man wanted for murder.
They’re looking for 36-year-old Ryan Allen Klug, who
they say is now the prime suspect in the murder of 26-
year-old Adaobi M. Obih, who was found dead Tuesday
in an apartment. Police initially said Klug was a “person
of interest” in the case.
Columbus police don’t think Klug is still in the area and
said multiple law enforcement agencies were looking for
him.
Police were alerted to Obih’s death after she missed
work Monday and Tuesday without notifying anyone.
Concerned coworkers contacted her apartment complex
to ask about her. Police also contacted the property
manager to request a welfare check, according to the
arrest affidavit.
A maintenance worked went to check on the woman
and said, “It’s not good, there is blood everywhere”
after going to Obih’s apartment.
A neighbor said he noticed that the door to Obih’s
garage spot was open and had been open for at least 24
hours. Klug, who police described as Obih’s roommate,
parked his vehicle there.
The maintenance worker told police there were no signs
of forced entry at the apartment and that only two
people would’ve had keys: Obih and Klug. The
maintenance worker told police he found Obih with a
“large amount of blood around her head” and said it
appeared clear that she was dead.
Police talked to Obih’s boyfriend, who revealed that
he’d texted and called her multiple times but never
heard back. The last message he received from her was
at 12:17 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 17. When she failed to
respond, he went to her apartment, saw her car in the
parking lot and knocked on the door. Obih didn’t
answer.
A neighbor who lives in the apartment below Obih’s said
it sounded like someone was moving furniture during
Sunday afternoon. “It went on for more than three
minutes,” the neighbor said, adding that it happened
shortly before tornado warnings went off for Sunday’s
storms.
Police said Klug had texted a pastor asking him to call.
When the pastor did so, Klug answered and said he
couldn’t talk at the time.
Further investigation found that Obih had been stabbed
multiple times and her throat cut. A blood trail went
from the woman’s bedroom to Klug’s, and police said it
appeared “the assailant attempted to clean up in the
bathroom area belonging to Mr. Klug.” They also found
a bloody towel in Klug’s sink. Police located a plastic
bag containing a bloody sock and other clothes stained
with blood, including blue jeans, boxers and a shirt.
Police said the “amount of blood on these items was
significant.”
Police found a trail of small blood drops leading from the
apartment to the garage where Klug parked his vehicle.
His 2008 silver Subaru Legacy was not parked in the
garage.
Klug works for the Indiana Department of Transportation,
and police contacted his supervisor, who told them
Klug’s behavior had been “off” lately. He sent a text
message Sunday saying, “sick tomorrow, then vacation
next two weeks.” His supervisor said the message was
out of character and also violated the department’s
vacation time policy. Klug did not return texts or phone
calls, his supervisor said. He didn’t show up at work
Monday or Tuesday.
Klug’s stepmother and father said they hadn’t heard
from him for several days.
His brother told police he’d spoken with Klug about two
weeks ago. Klug wanted to get back with a girl he’d
dated. The relationship ended about a year ago. His
brother told Klug to call her; he said Klug discovered she
was dating someone else and told him, “I’m losing
control.”
