A single-vehicle rollover crash in Independence, Oregon, on January 27, 2025, led deputies to discover the body of 35-year-old Ashley Jean Gandolfi inside the wrecked car. Investigators concluded her death did not occur in the crash; an autopsy found a fatal gunshot wound and her death was ruled a homicide. The driver, 39-year-old Tyler Andrew Holman of Salem, was injured and taken for treatment.

Detectives traced the case to Holman’s Salem residence. Holman and Gandolfi had been in a long-term romantic relationship for more than 11 years and shared a child; Holman had been charged with assaulting Gandolfi in March 2024, a case that was later dismissed. After Holman’s release from the hospital on January 30, he was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, tampering with evidence, and second-degree abuse of a corpse. A second person, 37-year-old Logan L. Wilkins, was arrested on alleged charges of second-degree abuse of a corpse and tampering with physical evidence for reportedly assisting Holman in moving Gandolfi’s body the day she was killed. A judge ordered Holman held without bail.

Who knew Ashley or her routines and might have seen her or her vehicle around January 27, 2025?
