New Franklin, Ohio, June 21, 2012: Ashley N. Biggs, age 25, was employed by Domino's Pizza as a delivery driver when she was lured to her death while delivering a pizza. Ashley Biggs actually knew the man and woman who brutally murdered her by strangulation with a zip tie. Ashley and Chad Cobb were in the middle of a bitter custody battle over their six-year-old daughter. Erica Stefanko, Cobb's wife at the time, called in the fake pizza order that lured Ashley to her death. Within 12 hours of her death, detectives located Ashley's missing vehicle, which lead to the discovery of Ashley's body. Cobb was eventually arrested and brought to trial, sentenced to life in prison in a 2013 plea agreement deal which took the death penalty off the table. Years later, Cobb implicated his wife Erica Stefanko as the person who made the bogus pizza order phone call under the name of "Jen" which lured Ashley to her death. Stefanko was brought to trial in November 2020 and received life in prison. Detective Michael Hitchings of the New Franklin Police Department was commended with excellent police work to catch the killers. In a twist to the homicide case, in July 2022 an Ohio appeals court overturned Stefanko's conviction. The appeals court states that Stefanko's rights were violated by the remote testimony of Cobb and two other witnesses, all of whom were required to wear masks due to COVID-19. The ruling states that the pandemic procedures used by the trial court violated Stefanko's right to a fair trial. The case is ongoing, law enforcement has the right to bring her to trial again.
