Caylen Deller Found Guilty in Chad Mullen Murder

Verdict

Caylen Deller was found guilty in the murder of Chad Mullen, her boyfriend, after Mullen died in September 2024. Deller is 32. The case involved an allegation that Mullen’s body was buried in a shallow grave.

The charge

Deller had been charged with first-degree murder. The guilty verdict addressed that murder case and established her responsibility for Mullen’s death in the criminal proceeding.

What the case involved

The central facts identified in the case are Mullen’s death in September 2024, the allegation that Deller killed him, and the discovery or placement of his body in a shallow grave. Those facts formed the basis of the murder prosecution.

Next steps

The guilty verdict marks a new stage in the case. Any further court action will determine how the case proceeds after the finding of guilt. The verdict does not change the identities of the people involved: Deller was the defendant, and Mullen was the victim.

Deller’s case is separate from any election or campaign matter. It is a criminal court matter involving a first-degree murder charge and a guilty verdict tied to Mullen’s September 2024 death.
