Nigerian has been found dead in an
apartment in Colombus, Indiana, United States.
The police are looking for
36-year-old man, Ryan Allen Klug, who they say is the prime suspect in the
murder of 26-year-old Adaobi M. Obih, who was found dead on Tuesday.
Police initially said Klug was a
“person of interest” in the case.
Police were alerted to Obih’s death
after she missed work on Monday and Tuesday without notifying anyone. Concerned
co-workers 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 worker went to check
on the woman and said: “It’s not good, there is blood everywhere.”
A neighbour 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,
November 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’.
Columbus police don’t think Klug is
still in the area and said multiple law enforcement agencies were looking for
him.
