My attempts to return to my regular real crime articles have been unsuccessful, but life has kind of got in the way. I knew I had to read about it after reading about this one, though. It’s a little strange.  ,  ,

Chelsea Perkins, a 35-year-old Arlington, Virginia resident, was born there and attended high school that from 2005 to 2009. Matthew Dunmire was one of her colleagues. I’m never sure how well the two knew one another or what their relationship was, but Perkins reported to the officers in Virginia Beach in 2017 that Dunmire had raped her. Everything about her claims ever came to light, and police never had enough data to charge her.  ,
At some point, Dunmire relocated to the Cleveland place. Although I’m not sure what kind of relation he had with them or what kind of he had with them, he was an aspiring singer and the father of two babies. Additionally, he had a girl.  ,
Perkins enlisted in the US Coast Guard. She became an OnlyFans type and an adult concept by the name Selena Savage after marrying a man and meeting him while serving. Her Instagram account indicates that she had a small following and appeared to be progressing in her savage job.  ,
Perkins had a program that would lead to her travelling over 300 miles and killing him, despite the fact that she appeared to find love and had a rather exclusive resume for herself.  ,
In a Cleveland club in the spring of 2021, Dunmire had coffee with some coworkers. He informed them that he would satisfy a female he’d been talking to online. Events later, Perkins drove away. She was operating a vehicle that matched the one that her father had registered.  ,

According to reports, the two traveled to an Airbnb and stayed the night. He texted his girlfriend the following day to let her know that he would dedicate plasma and would then return home. Additionally, he made an effort to inform his girlfriend that he hadn’t slept with Perkins and sent a text saying,” Well I pissed this chick off anyway so I hope (you’re ) happy.
Perkins also texted a tattoo artist in Michigan the following morning to say that she was on her approach, but she had to make a halt first.  ,
Notice: I had trouble understanding the dynamics of this situation completely. Dunmire thought it was a strange lady he’d previously met before, or did he know when he first met Perkins? And when did he inform his sweetheart that he planned to spend the day with another woman?  ,
The two hiked to Terra Vista Natural Study Area, which is a part of Cuyahoga Valley National Park, at some point the following day. I’m not know why he agreed to go backpacking, but Perkins brought a loaded gun.  ,
Some climbers reported hearing a gun the morning. Other people claimed they ran into a person who was all dark and matched Perkins ‘ information. She didn’t have to appear to be hiking. She explained to them that she was looking for a tomb, but she only acted confused and didn’t show any emotion.  ,
Another class of climbers found Dunmire’s body in the woods three days later. He had been struck in the back of the mind. Perkins ‘ registration of the Airbnb in her true name prompted the police to search for her home in Virginia a few weeks later. They were there when they discovered the vehicle that his coworkers claimed she used to pick him up that day and that her purse contained a weapon. Shots in her home matched those that were used to murder Dunmire. She was tampered with by phone files, social media, DNA, GPS, and other factors. She wasn’t charged for nine times, though.  ,

Although, for what it’s worth, she did go to get that scar after the crime.  ,
Past U.S. Coast Guard star Chelsea Perkins, 35, admitted to fatally shooting Matthew Dunmire in the wilderness as retaliation for allegedly raping her. https ://t.co/DLr5LqntAe photograph. twitter.com/QsV1HZAtRz— Mark Chapman ( @MC_IBTimesSG) May 28, 2025
How’s the area that really caught my attention. Evidently, Dunmire’s parents decided to take things into their own hands because they weren’t happy with the frequency with which authorities were working. About eight weeks after their son was killed, the two traveled to the house where they thought Perkins lived.  ,
They visited what they believed to be Perkins ‘ residence. Tommie Lynn Dunmire, Dunmire’s family, was dressed as an EMS delivery vehicle and had a weapon hidden in a field. When the person in the house opened the door, she shot her in the chest half before fleeing. As it turns out, they did not have the proper room. The girl wasn’t Perkins either.  ,
Following a high-speed fight, authorities finally caught up with Tommie Lynn and Dunmire’s dad, John McQuillen. Tommie Lynn shot herself once they were discovered. McQuillen later admitted to accent after being charged with assaulting with the intent to kill. He was only released this year after serving a three-year prison sentence. Luckily, the honest woman who was ensnared in this mess lived.  ,

When Perkins was first questioned by government after the death, she claimed she had no knowledge of it. She finally made plans to use self-defense. Perkins admitted second-degree death and using, carrying, and displacing a rifle during, and in relation to, a crime of violence on national home earlier this year. She was set for trial about a year earlier, where she was sentenced to a mandatory life sentence plus 10 years in prison if found guilty of first-degree crime.
She may be sentenced in September and is currently facing 20 to 25 years in prison.  ,  ,
