Aurora man charged with first-degree murder in death of ex-wife in Oswego

Local Man Charged with First-Degree Murder of Ex-Wife in Oswego Home Invasion

A 44-year-old man from Aurora has been charged with first-degree murder and multiple other felony counts in connection with the fatal stabbing of his ex-wife at her home in Oswego. According to police, Ryan Dodd allegedly broke into his ex-wife's residence on January 27th, claiming he saw video footage of another man entering her house and believed she was in danger.

However, it has now been revealed that the actual motive behind the incident was much more sinister. Upon entering the home, Dodd allegedly attacked Ashley Stewart with a knife, resulting in multiple sharp force injuries that ultimately led to her death.

The police department confirmed that Dodd is facing charges of first-degree murder, home invasion, armed violence, residential burglary, and aggravated stalking. The crime has sent shockwaves through the community, with many expressing outrage and sympathy for the victim's family.

A GoFundMe campaign set up by Ashley Stewart's loved ones has raised over $55,000 towards its goal of $60,000, showing the outpouring of support from the public in the wake of this tragic event.
 
This case is like something straight out of a bad thriller movie 😱. I mean, can you believe that someone would break into their ex's house and then claim they were just trying to protect her? It's just not buying it πŸ™„. The guy's whole story about seeing someone else at the house doesn't add up - it was all just a ruse to get in and cause harm.

And now we're finding out that his real motive was to hurt Ashley, plain and simple πŸ’”. I'm just so glad that law enforcement was able to piece together the truth and catch this guy red-handed πŸ”’. It's also amazing to see how much support Ashley's family has received from the community - $55k on GoFundMe is a huge outpouring of love and support πŸ€—.

It's crazy to think about what could have been if Ryan Dodd had just left Ashley alone after their divorce πŸ’”. But instead, he chose to resort to violence and now he'll be facing some serious consequences πŸ’―. I hope justice is served for Ashley and her loved ones - they deserve closure πŸ™.
 
This is just so sad πŸ€• I cant believe she was killed by her ex like that. You would think that with all the relationship classes and therapy they'd learn to communicate properly before things escalate like this. The fact that he broke into her house claiming he saw someone else there is just red flag alert 😳. And now he's going down for it? Good, I'm glad justice will be served, but at what cost though πŸ’”. It's crazy how much money people are willing to raise for the victim's loved ones. It shows we do care about these kinds of tragedies πŸ€—
 
πŸ˜” just saw this news and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. It's just so senseless how someone can turn on their own partner like that. The video footage thing is totally red herring, it sounds like a weak excuse to me. Anyway, $55k raised for Ashley Stewart's loved ones is pretty impressive, good to see the community coming together like this πŸ€—
 
OMG, like I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one 🀯... first-degree murder is just, like, so not okay, you know? And the fact that he broke into her home claiming she was in danger? That's just, like, a whole other level of messed up 😨. The layout of the crime scene and the motives behind it are, like, super fascinating to me, but also super disturbing πŸ’€.

I mean, think about it - the layout of the house, the flow of events... how did he even plan something like this? It's just, like, so not normal, you know? And the use of a knife, multiple sharp force injuries... it's just, like, so graphic and disturbing 😷.

But, like, what I find really interesting is how people are responding to this tragedy. The GoFundMe campaign is, like, super heartwarming πŸ™, showing that even in the face of such evil, there's still so much love and support for Ashley Stewart's family. And the community reaction... it's just, like, so outpouring and sympathetic 😊.
 
Wow 🀯 This is just so shocking! Home invasion & murder? That's just insane! Interesting how he told the cops he saw someone else in her house to try and make it look like a random act, but now we know it was all about revenge 😱. The outpouring of support from the public on that GoFundMe is amazing tho πŸ’•
 
🀯 just saw this news and I'm still trying to process it... 1st degree murder over a video footage that didn't even exist? that's some crazy stuff! πŸ“Ή i mean, i know relationships can get messed up, but this is just brutal. i'm so sad for Ashley's family and loved ones, they must be going through an unimaginable pain right now πŸ˜”. it's also super concerning that someone would use a video as an excuse to break into someones home and cause such harm... 🚫 what's wrong with people these days? πŸ’”
 
OMG, just heard about this crazy crime and I'm still trying to process it 😱. Like, who breaks into someone's home thinking they're in danger? That's some messed up stuff right there 🀯. And to think the motive was actually a whole different story... not cool at all πŸ˜’. But I do love that the community is coming together to support Ashley's family - $55k raised so far on GoFundMe? That's amazing πŸ’–. You'd think this would be a national news thing, but yeah, it seems Oswego is keeping a low profile πŸ™. Anyway, my thoughts are with Ashley's loved ones... πŸ˜”
 
man, can u believe this? some guy just breaks into his ex-wife's house and kills her over a video he saw? that's like something out of a horror movie 🀯 it's like, what even is wrong with people? and now his loved ones are gonna have to deal with the guilt and grief of losing an amazing person ashley stewart was 27 yrs old btw she had so much potential and life ahead of her 🌟 u gotta wonder what triggered this guy to do such a heinous act, was it just a moment of rage or was there something deeper going on? anyway, i hope justice is served and the family gets the support they need during this difficult time πŸ’”
 
this is just a terrible reminder that domestic violence is still super prevalent in our society πŸ˜”. like, what kind of sicko breaks into someone's home and thinks they can just stab them for no reason? 🀯 it's not like he was trying to protect her or anything. the fact that he made up some story about video footage being stolen just shows how manipulative and despicable he is 🚫. anyway, I'm glad his loved ones are receiving some support from the community, but we need more education and resources available for people dealing with domestic violence in our area 🌟
 
OMG, this is so messed up 🀯😱... I mean, I'm not surprised that Ryan Dodd would try to cover his tracks by claiming he was trying to save Ashley's life, but the real motive behind it all is just plain evil πŸ’”. And can we talk about how suspicious it is that someone breaks into their ex-wife's house and then just starts stabbing her like she's a rag doll? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ It's clear that this guy had some serious issues to work through, but you don't take it out on the people you supposedly care about. The GoFundMe campaign is amazing though - it's awesome to see the community rallying around Ashley's family and showing them some love ❀️.
 
just when u think the world is getting better, stuff like this happens πŸ€•. i mean, who breaks into someones house thinking they're in danger? it's just so... twisted. and the fact that it was a ex-wife makes it even more messed up 😩. anyway, it's crazy how fast a gofundme campaign can raise money for a family in need - like, $5k is a lot to many people πŸ’Έ. but at the same time, it's also kinda sad that we're so desensitized to violence that we just wanna throw our money at the problem instead of actually addressing the root issues πŸ€”.
 
This is such a senseless crime 🀯. I just can't believe that someone would resort to violence like that, especially after a divorce. It's heartbreaking for Ashley's family and loved ones πŸ˜”. The fact that Ryan Dodd used her own fear against her is just horrific. And the motive being related to "agitated stalking" is a red flag - it raises concerns about domestic abuse 🚨.

The community's response to this tragedy, however, gives me hope ❀️. Seeing people come together and support Ashley's loved ones through a GoFundMe campaign is amazing. It just goes to show that we can make a difference in times of need πŸ’–. I wish the authorities would also explore any potential connections between stalking and domestic violence cases to better prevent such crimes from happening in the future 🀝.
 
OH MY GOSH, THIS IS SUCH A HEARTBREAKING STORY!!! I MEAN, WHO COULD EVEN IMAGINE THAT THEIR EX-WIFE WOULD BE THE VICTIM OF SUCH A TRAGEDY?! RYAN DODD'S MOTIVE FOR COMMITTING THIS CRYSTAL CLEARLY MURDER WAS TO GET BACK AT HIS EX-WIFE AND IT'S JUST SO SAD! πŸ€•πŸ’” HE SHOULD BE LOCKED UP IN A PSYiatric HOSPITAL FOR LIFE, NOT WALKING FREE ON THE STREETS!!! THE FACT THAT HE CLAIMED TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE ENTER HER HOUSE IS JUST A LIE TO COVER UP HIS OWN TWISTED MIND! πŸ’β€β™‚οΈ ANYWAY, I HOPE THE FAMILY OF ASHLEY STEWART GETS THE SUPPORT THEY NEED AND THAT JUSTICE IS SERVED!!
 
This whole thing is so messed up 🀯. I mean, who does something like that? Breaking into someone's house and stabbing them just because you're having a crazy ex-life? It's like he thought Ashley was gonna call the cops or something. And what's with the video footage story? Like, what did she even do to him? Was it some kinda setup? πŸ€” The victim's family deserves so much more than this... $55k from GoFundMe is just a drop in the bucket tho πŸ’Έ
 
I don’t usually comment but... I just can't help thinking about how fast this story went from no leads to arrest πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ. The motive behind it all is still pretty murky, if you ask me, and I'm not sure what's more disturbing - the fact that he killed his ex-wife or the whole "she was in danger" thing he used as a cover for breaking into her house 😳. Anyone else think this case needs some serious investigation to get to the bottom of it? The community is definitely rallying around Ashley's family, and I can only hope justice is served πŸ’―.
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one... a guy breaks into his ex-wife's house, claiming she's in danger, but it was all just a ruse 🀯. I mean, can you imagine having to deal with someone like that? It's crazy how people can turn on each other like that. The fact that he stabbed her multiple times is just heartbreaking πŸ˜”. And the amount of money that's been raised for Ashley's family is just amazing - it really shows the community coming together in a time of need ❀️. As a platform, we've seen our fair share of crazy stuff, but this one takes the cake. I'm glad the police were able to catch him and bring justice to Ashley's loved ones πŸ’ͺ.
 
omg, can't believe what happened to that poor woman ashley 🀯 44 years old is way too young for all that drama. i mean, who breaks into someone's home thinking they're gonna save them? that's not a hero, that's just plain crazy 😲. and now her husband's facing some serious charges... hope he gets the help he needs cuz we all know we can't just wish our way to healing πŸ’”. anyway, i'm glad there's a gofundme set up for ashley's family - it's clear people in this community are coming together in support πŸ€πŸ’–
 
πŸ˜• I mean, come on! First-degree murder is already a serious crime, and now he's got multiple other charges on top? It just seems like every time someone makes a bad decision, we're expected to rally around them with all these fundraisers... what about the victim's family, really? πŸ’Έ 55k vs $60k, it feels like the money's not even matching up. I'm not saying people shouldn't be supporting Ashley's loved ones, but maybe there's a way to do that without making it seem like they're trying to make a profit from her death πŸ˜’
 
πŸ€” I'm telling you, something just doesn't add up here. This guy claims he broke into his ex-wife's house because he saw a video of someone else entering her house? That sounds like an alibi to me πŸ™ƒ. What if that was just what they wanted him to think? What if the whole thing was staged? I mean, think about it, 44 years old and breaking into someone's house with a knife? That's not just crazy, that's calculated πŸ˜’. And what about the video footage? Is it even real? πŸ“Ή Maybe it was edited to make him look like the bad guy. I'm not saying he didn't do it, but something about this whole story seems fishy to me 🐟.
