Ryan Alan Krebs was a 30-year-old White man described by his family as a beloved son, loving brother, treasured uncle, and adored boyfriend. His obituary remembered him as a caring cousin and a friend to many.

According to court documents, Ryan was killed on August 1, 2022. He was reported missing to the Parma Police Department on August 25. His death remained undiscovered for several months.

On the morning of November 16, 2022, police in Parma, Ohio, responded to a domestic violence call at a home in the 5200 block of W. 26th Street. Officers arrested the resident, 40-year-old Paul Addicott II, and a woman at the scene was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Later that day, a family member went to the house to remove some guns for safekeeping and made a grim discovery in the basement. The family member found a body wrapped in plastic and immediately called the police.

Investigators and the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office returned to the home. The remains were identified as Ryan Krebs, and the medical examiner determined he had died from multiple gunshot wounds.

Following the discovery, Paul Addicott II was charged with murder. He was held at the Cuyahoga County Justice Center on a $1 million bond. His case was bound over to the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas for consideration by a grand jury.

As of November 2022, authorities were continuing to investigate the relationship between Ryan and the suspect, as well as the full circumstances surrounding his disappearance and death.
