An Ohio man is behind bars after being charged with his wife’s murder months after she was found stabbed to death with over a dozen knife wounds inside their home. 

Kyle Long, 35, was taken into custody and charged with murder last week following a four-month investigation into the suspicious death of his wife, Rachel Long, at their London home on Oct. 23, 2025, the crime scene appearing as though there was some sort of struggle inside the home.

"Ever since we responded to the residence up there, investigated this as suspicious from the beginning, Mr. Long was the only person in the residence," Sheriff John Swaney said, according to FOX28.

Investigators also reportedly documented that Kyle told them Rachel wanted to end their marriage after 10 years together.

Kyle Long appeared in court last week and is being held on $1.5 million bond, 10 TV reported. 

"Kyle Long was not surprised by his arrest. He was, however, disappointed," Kyle Long's attorney, Samuel Shamansky, told Fox News Digital. "He's wrongly accused and he's eager to establish his innocence at the first available opportunity to 12 Madison County jurors."

Shamansky added that criminal charges being filed against his client four months after the alleged murder "speaks volumes to the questions surrounding the factual underpinnings of this prosecution." 

"He has been nothing but cooperative, and his cooperation extended to meeting with the county coroner as recently as about two weeks ago to answer questions regarding his wife's unfortunate demise," Shamansky told Fox News Digital. "So I don't know how he could have been any more helpful with the coroner's questions."

"And as I said, this is an enormous tragedy for him, for his children, his wife, for their family, for his family. And now he's faced with a very monumental task of defending himself. And as said, he's eager to do so with the first available opportunity."

Rachel was a mother of two and owned a company specializing in pet grooming and boarding, according to her obituary.

"An animal lover at heart, she also was active in rescuing dogs," her obituary said. "She was an avid reader and loved attending rock concerts."
