May *Following a three-day trial at the end of April 2024, John Arlie Rich was convicted on charges of Felony Murder, 2nd Degree Murder, and two counts of Aggravated Rape. The indictments against Rich were handed down in March of 2020 following the death of 25-year-old Brentlyn Hunt. Hunt’s death was initially labeled as “suspicious” after her lifeless body was discovered at John Rich’s Collinwood residence early on Saturday morning, February 1, 2020 following a 911 call that reported concern for Hunt’s well-being. During an investigation conducted by the Collinwood Police Department and the District Attorney’s Office, evidence was obtained that proved Hunt’s death was in fact a homicide. Following a four-year delay during which Rich was free on bond, the three-day trial ultimately took place and resulted in Rich’s conviction. In June 2024, Rich was sentenced to life plus thirty years in prison for the rape and murder of Brentlyn Hunt.
