Overview
- Family members asked police to do a welfare check after they could not reach Gregory Dolnics, and officers forced entry to his Morgan Township home where they found his body on July 26.
- Charging documents and the autopsy say Gregory died from multiple sharp‑force injuries and that his heart was removed and found on his stomach along with blood‑spattered furniture and drops leading through the house.
- Officers say they found Serena Dolnics inside the home covered in blood, recovered three bloodied knives and bloody barefoot prints, and took her into custody after she waived her Miranda rights.
- Serena pleaded not guilty in a video appearance, was ordered held without bond and faces further court hearings on her counsel and pretrial status on Aug. 1 while the investigation continues.
- Relatives have started a GoFundMe for funeral costs and reporting notes Serena’s prior run‑ins with the law; prosecutors say evidence and forensics are under review and allegations remain subject to the legal process.
