Onlyfans Star Chelsea Perkins Sentenced To 22.5 Years For Shocking Revenge Murder

From Online Fame to Fatal Revenge: Chelsea Perkins’ Dark Turn

Hey there, darlings, buckle up for a story that’s straight out of a crime thriller. Chelsea Perkins, a 35-year-old OnlyFans model and former adult film star from Alexandria, Virginia, has just been handed a hefty 22.5-year sentence in federal prison. Her crime? The cold-blooded murder of Matthew Dunmire, a 31-year-old aspiring musician, in a shocking act of revenge at Ohio’s Cuyahoga Valley National Park back in March 2021.

Perkins claimed her motive was pure vengeance, alleging that Dunmire had violently raped her years earlier at a Halloween party in Virginia. While Dunmire was never charged with any sexual assault, Perkins took matters into her own hands - and the result was deadly. Prosecutors didn’t hold back during sentencing, describing her actions as a “coldly calculated intention to cause his death.”

A Twisted Plan Unraveled

Let’s dive deeper into this dark tale, shall we? Perkins, a U.S. Coast Guard veteran, went to chilling lengths to execute her plan. She drove 480 kilometers from Virginia to Ohio in her husband’s Smart car, luring Dunmire under the pretense of a casual hookup after connecting online. Just four days before his death, Dunmire was casually chatting with coworkers at a local bar, mentioning a woman visiting the area - little did he know, it was Perkins with a sinister agenda.

The pair spent a night together at an Airbnb she rented, even reportedly being intimate. But the next morning, Perkins drove Dunmire deep into the woods of Cuyahoga Valley National Park. There, in a remote spot, she fired a fatal shot into the back of his head, leaving him to die in the popular hiking area.

“I never imagined my past pain would lead me to destroy someone’s life - I take full responsibility for what I’ve done,” Perkins tearfully stated during her apology to Dunmire’s family in a Cleveland courthouse.

Evidence, Escape, and a Final Apology

After the murder, Perkins didn’t stick around to face the music - oh no, she fled to Michigan, where she got a tattoo of a noose on her forearm, perhaps as a grim symbol of her act. But her attempt to cover her tracks failed spectacularly. Surveillance footage, text messages, and ballistic evidence quickly linked her to the crime. A search of her Virginia home turned up three 9mm pistols, one found in a purse with her ID, and it tested positive for her DNA.

In a desperate bid to mislead investigators, Perkins even crafted a fake suicide note from Dunmire, timed to coincide with the discovery of his body. Spoiler alert: it didn’t fool anyone. During her sentencing last Monday, she faced Dunmire’s grieving family, offering a heartfelt apology. Meanwhile, Dunmire’s father delivered a gut-wrenching victim impact statement, saying his son was a good person whose children are now left without a father.

The Victim Behind the Tragedy

Let’s take a moment to remember Matthew Dunmire, shall we? An aspiring musician who grew up in Virginia before moving to Cleveland, he had dreams of making it big. His friends and coworkers had no inkling of the danger he was in when he mentioned meeting up with a woman from out of town. If he recognized Perkins from their past, he never let on - a tragic oversight that cost him his life.

This case is a heartbreaking reminder of how past traumas can spiral into devastating consequences. Perkins pleaded guilty last spring to second-degree murder and firearm charges related to a crime of violence on federal property. Now, as she begins her long sentence, the question lingers - could justice have taken a different path if her pain had been addressed sooner?
