On August 22, 2024, at about 9 p.m., Beavercreek police found 55-year-old Michael Corrigan dead at a home in the 1800 block of Maple Lane from an apparent gunshot wound to the head. Family members discovered his body after they could not reach him and called authorities.

Investigators named 52-year-old Janel M. Nelson of Thorp, Wisconsin, as a suspect; she and Corrigan had an on-and-off relationship for 15 years. Nelson was located in Omaha after a social media post by her estranged daughter and license plate reader hits, and Omaha police arrested her on August 27, 2024. Officers recovered a .380 caliber handgun in her vehicle that authorities believe is the murder weapon. Nelson was extradited to Ohio and charged with murder and felonious assault; bail was set at $1 million by Judge Adolfo Tornichio.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is processing evidence and Beavercreek detectives continue the probe. If anyone has information, contact Detective John Bondy at 937-427-5520.
