Nancy, the way you've 48 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: described Shannon Elizabeth Graves is really perfect. You know, she's 49 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: like somebody's beloved daughter or granddaughter or best friend, and 50 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: she was all of those things. Yeah, I was gonna say, correction, 51 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: She's not like somebody's beloved. She is somebody's beloved daughter, right. 52 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: I mean, don't start I'm beloved children because I have 53 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: been a nervous wreck about children.

You may not have heard me go on 55 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: and on and on about them, but they're eleven year 56 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: old twins. They're my world. John David just fractured his 57 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: foot walking off the playground and Lucy Santa. What was 58 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: Heath thanking? I disagree with this. Basanta brought up trampoline, 59 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: Lucy jumped on a ball instead of the trampoline and 60 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: sprained her ankle, and then the dog the docks and 61 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: Mutt hurt his back. Everybody's sick, and I think about 62 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: it all day long while they're at school. Yes, this 63 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: woman is beloved. Her parents probably thought about her all 64 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: the time, like I think about the twins all the time. 65 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: John Linley and most of her family last remember seeing 66 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: Shannon on Christmas Day. Now, her sister Debbie to Paul 67 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: says that she last saw her almost two months later 68 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: in mid February. That's when Debbie says she spent some 69 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: time with Shannon at her apartment with Shannon's boyfriend. But 70 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: then Shannon misses two key family events that spring, first 71 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: her sister's birthday in March and then Easter two, which 72 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: was a big celebration for the family on that year 73 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: in twenty seven teen, Easter was on April sixteenth. Debbie 74 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: says that it was not unusual for Shannon to go 75 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: really long periods of time without communicating with family members. However, 76 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: by the time June arrived. This is when she had 77 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: passed a threshold that she'd never crossed before. So Shannon 78 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: had never gone so long without contacting someone. So that's 79 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: when the family decided this time was different, something was wrong, 80 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: so they filed a missing person report with the Youngstown, 81 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: Ohio Police Department. Shannon's name was also very quickly added 82 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: to the Ohio General's Missing Person's website. When they spoke 83 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: with police, the family told them that what really bothered 84 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: them this time about Shannon's disappearance is what she left behind. 85 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: Her car, her cell phone, and most importantly, her dog. 86 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: That's something they say Shannon would never in a million 87 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: years due is leave her dog behind. Oh goodness, no, 88 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: I want you to take a listen to our friend 89 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: at WKB and TV, Shannon Graves when he eight year 90 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 1: old was added to the Ohio Attorney General's Missing Person's 91 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: website earlier this month after concerns about her well being. Tonight, 92 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: we reached out to the homeowner who discovered the body. 93 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: He told us he is too distraught to talk after 94 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: finding out that it was Shannon Graves in the freezer, 95 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: just like you're saying. John Lemley Crime Online dot com 96 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: investigative reporter, where you can find this in all other 97 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: breaking crime and justice news Crime online dot com. The 98 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: fact that she left behind her dog, and I want 99 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: to go for a moment to our new panelist, Atlanta psychologist, 100 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: founder of Grow Counseling, doctor Wendy Dickinson. You know, doctor 101 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,559 Speaker 1: Wendy Dickinson. It was a technique I used often in court, 102 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: but really I just recently heard a formal name to it. 103 00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: It's called routine evidence evidence of routine. I would argue 104 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: to a jury this person departed from their regular routine, 105 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: and I just noticed it was being called that in 106 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: the end on Sayed Case, which is part of Serial 107 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: the podcast. Here you've got a woman that goes about 108 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: the same routine all the time, and suddenly you find 109 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: her cell phone, her purse, and most important, her dog 110 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: has been abandoned. Yeah, it's it's um. There's obviously something 111 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: going on when we see somebody who just immediately changes 112 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: their routine. It's one of the factors that we've worked 113 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: for and assessing has there been a trauma? Is there 114 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: is there somebody in the person's life that has impacted 115 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: them in a way that's caused them to change their routine. 116 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: We look for maybe a head trauma or something that's 117 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: organic in nature, kind of a biomechanical issue with them, 118 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: because those all points to something's changed, something's different. Well, 119 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm glad you're such an optimus doctor 120 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: Wendy Dickinson, because Stephen Lampley, from where you and I sit, 121 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: when somebody leaves their dog, their cel phone, their purse behind, 122 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: they're dead. Okay, Doctor Wendy Dickinson thinks, Hey, maybe they've 123 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: had a traumatic event, maybe they're reeling emotionally. I'm like, 124 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: they're dead. That's usually true, Mancy. Of course, there are 125 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: the outside events where a person has become delirious or 126 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: injured and is wandering about, but as you and I know, 127 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: most of the time, that's what's happened. They're dead somewhere. 128 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: One way Shannon was remembered was with pictures scattered on 129 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: the railing throughout the gazebo. There were also candles and 130 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: boxes of tissues. T shirts were being sold saluting Youngstown 131 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: Girls on the front and Justice for Shannon on the back. 132 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: Even Shannon's dog, Molly, now in the care of Debby, 133 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 1: was there. It's not the easiest. I have my moments, 134 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: but there's a lot going on, so I'm just trying 135 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: to stay strong and keep going. As people arrived, there 136 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: was some talking, but for the most part they were quiet, solemn, 137 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: remembering Shannon Graves. It's a good thing. It's good for people, 138 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: you know that our missing her, and it's I think 139 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: it's good for awareness of what's going on with the 140 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: whole thing, because it's pretty foul. Yeah, foul is one 141 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 1: way to put it. Wk B NTV STANDBONI reporting right there. 142 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: You know, I just don't know sometimes how many more 143 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: of these I can take to Nimahdadi, former California prosecutor. 144 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: You like I and Lampley have probably seen it all. 145 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 1: I guess I can throw Kathleen Murphy and Limley in 146 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: that well, really our whole panel. But Nima, do you 147 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: ever get beaten down when you see another scene of 148 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: candles and pictures and tissues and stuffed animals because you 149 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: know someone has been killed and all the candles in 150 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: the world are not going to bring them back. And 151 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: the only thing left for some body like you or 152 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: me to do it's to seek justice. That's the only 153 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: thing I new to do in court. I would get 154 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 1: so overwhelmed with this murder and that murder and this trial, 155 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: molestation and that arson. It just seemed to make me 156 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: meaner and meaner and meaner, because it's all I could do. 157 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: It's fight back. I'm with you, exact same feelings and 158 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: candles and pictures. It humanizes everything so much and it 159 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: just brings it down to the core and it's devastating, 160 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: you know, And the only thing you can do is 161 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: just push forward and fight and bring justice to these poor, 162 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: devastated families. And I know you know with me from 163 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: la is Alan. Do you can hear in the studio 164 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: Jackie Howard, so as we talk about, you know, sound 165 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: or pictures that compliment our story, that help explain it, 166 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: and I'll see sound of vigil. I'm like, I don't 167 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: want any vigil. They're like why because it doesn't help. 168 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: It doesn't help solve the case. So, John Linley, can 169 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: we move from the visual, which I appreciate. I appreciate 170 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: it as a crime victim what that means to the 171 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: family to have a vigil and remember Shannon. But I 172 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: want results, John Limley, you tell me this girl is 173 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: dismembered and a freezer. Uh huh? What happened next? Well, 174 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: before they even find her body in the freezer, police 175 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: began checking jail's, prisons, hospitals, anywhere to see if they 176 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: could find Shannon in any of those facilities. Why did 177 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: you say that about her? Well, this girl doesn't have 178 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: a record. No, but they've run out of leads, and 179 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: so they're looking any and everywhere just to see if 180 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: something has happened along the way. Then a couple of 181 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: months into the investigation, there's some shocking news coming out 182 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: of Campbell, Ohio. This is just a ten minute drive 183 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: from Youngstown. Word is that a couple living in Campbell 184 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: have made a horrific discovery in their own house, in 185 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: their basement, and they think a friend there's has something 186 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: to do with it. Oh, well, don't stop there, go ahead. Well, 187 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: the beginning of the story goes back when Ken Eschenball 188 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: says a friend introduced him to a man named Anthony Gonzalez. Well, 189 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: Ken says he became friends with Anthony because Ken owns 190 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: some audio equipment and Anthony was interested in recording rap music. 191 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: Fast forward to the middle of the July. This is 192 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 1: when Anthony asks Ken for a favor Anthony tells Ken 193 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: that the electricity has gone out in his home and 194 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: he's concerned that some meat he was keeping in a 195 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: freezer was in danger. A thoughting going bad, so when 196 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: Anthony asked Ken if he could bring the freezer to 197 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: his home in Campbell, Ken said sure, no problem. Anthony 198 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: arrives at night with a friend, according to Ken, bringing 199 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: the freezer through a backdoor and into the basement. It 200 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: wasn't until three days maybe, Ken says, after the freezer 201 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: arrived in his house that Ken's wife notices that it's 202 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: secured with a padlock. He says he doesn't think too 203 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: much about it because Anthony could be a little unusual, 204 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: a little odd at times. That freezer sat in the 205 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: basement for a few weeks until one Saturday morning when 206 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: Ken's wife planned to make some spaghetti and meatballs. She 207 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: thought she would just borrow some hamburger from the freezer 208 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: and then replace it later. No harm done. Ken's wife 209 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: told him that she removed the three screws that secured 210 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: the padlock. To the man, she must have really wanted 211 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: spaghetti and meatballs to go into someone she doesn't know 212 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: freezer and the hope she might find some Hamburger meeting 213 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: in there. Don't screws the padlocks breaks and gets in there. 214 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: I don't believe that for one minute. Kathleen Murphy, she 215 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: just wanted to know what was in the freezer. Eat 216 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: in the freezer. She wanted to eat that spaghetti. They 217 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: were going to make spaghetti that night. But she didn't 218 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 1: want to runto the gross Kathleen, she didn't know what 219 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: was in there. She didn't know if there was a 220 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: ground bay freezing. But the reality is, it doesn't matter 221 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: why she went into the freezer. What matters is what 222 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: she found, what she got in there. John Limley. Yeah, 223 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: she begins rummaging through the freezer and comes upon a 224 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: large garbage bag inside. This is when Ken's wife says 225 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: she immediately got a bad feeling. She put everything back in, 226 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: replaced the three screws, and called her husband. And when 227 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: Kenn arrives at home, he opens the freezer and found 228 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: that whatever was inside the bag was frozen solid. So 229 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: he got out a knife. Well, is everybody trying to 230 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: tell me nobody looked in the bag? You know? Joining 231 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: me is Stephen Lampley, a detective extraordinaire. Stephen. Everybody better 232 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: get their story straight and tell the truth. They can't see. Wow, 233 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: I want a spaghetti and meatballs. And I just thought 234 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: maybe this freezer that's padlock in the basement, that belongs 235 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: to somebody else might have some frozen meatballs in it. 236 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: So I went and broke into it, unscrewed all the hinges, 237 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: took off the padlock, and found a dead body. No, 238 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: she has to tell the truth. I was curious, I 239 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: had a bad feeling. I opened the freezer. It's in 240 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: my basement. I can open whenever I want to in 241 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: my basement because little lies like that. If it is 242 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: a lie, maybe she just was on an insatiable quest 243 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:34,239 Speaker 1: for meatballs. But even a little lie can ruin a prosecution. 244 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: Stephen Lampley, Nancy, you're absolutely correct, and you know well 245 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: more than the rest of us to about prosecuting murder cases. 246 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: I don't believe that as well. Of course, that's my opinion. 247 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think she was curious as 248 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: to what was in the freezer, and that's when they 249 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: made the discovery on the body parts. And of course 250 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: it's my understanding that all of her body parts were 251 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: in there. Okay, thank you for that last touch. Not 252 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: all the body parts were in there. You know. To 253 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: doctor Wendy Dickinson, what is it about human curiosity? Why 254 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: not just admit I was curious about why they stored 255 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: the freezer here and I opened the padlock. Why make 256 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: up a story about me both well, I just I 257 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: have to imagine that after she found the body in there, 258 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: she's completely freaked out and afraid that she was going 259 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: to be implicated in some way. But I think you're right, 260 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: it's the core of it. It sounds like she's curious 261 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: and I wanted to know what's in the POWD blocked 262 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: fridge freezer. Why do you have a power block on 263 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: your freezer? That's not normal? And I'll tell you another 264 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: reason I'm worried. To Nimahadatti, former California prosecutor NeiMa you 265 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: know this jury charge as well as I do. I'm 266 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: sure the jury it is there the sole province of 267 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: a jury to determine credibility of a witness. In other words, 268 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: are they telling the truth or not? Not the judge, 269 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: not the prosecutor, not the defense. And there is a 270 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: jury charge that the judge gives at the end of 271 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: every case before the jury makes the deliberations, and it 272 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: is if you disbelieve the witness in any part and 273 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: some in part in whole, you're entitled to throw out 274 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: all of their testimony from your deliberations. Now, think about it, Nima, 275 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: follow me along with this for a moment. Tell me 276 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: what you think. If that's true, and you have one 277 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 1: nut back in the jury room and they decide this 278 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: woman that opens the padlock is lying about why she 279 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: went into the freezer, they could throw out all of 280 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 1: her testimony. You know what, That leaves a perfect story 281 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: for the defense that she did it, that she and 282 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: her husband did it, and they're trying to pin it 283 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: on somebody else. Because if you could throw out all 284 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: of her testimony about discovering the body, then the state's 285 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: got a problem. Yeah, this is pretty terrible for the 286 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: prosecution when you have a witness that even a little 287 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: bit a little white light could destroy the credibility and 288 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 1: that would be the end of their entire testimony. And 289 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: without this piece, it would make this case difficult for 290 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: the prosecution. So bottom line, I believe the woman is 291 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: completely innocent. I think she got curious and opened up 292 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: the freezer, as I would too. Padlock freezer on my basement, 293 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: no way, and she found the worst discovery of all, 294 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: a dead body. So question, how did Shannon Graves get 295 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: into the freezer? Not on her own because she's dismembered 296 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 1: crime stories with Nancy Grace. Youngstown City Prosecutor Dana Lance said, 297 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: just after Graves was last seen five months ago, Layton 298 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: moved in, drove graves car, used herself phone, and even 299 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: cared for her dog. Then, on July twenty fourth, a 300 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: witness told police Late and Novoa moved a Padlock freezer 301 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: to a Devitt Avenue home and cammel. Five days later, 302 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: the homeowner called police after finding human remains inside. Well, 303 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: that's certainly a love match. Artiro Novoa, who is Shannon's 304 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: then boyfriend at the time she goes missing her live in, 305 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: he's already slung up with another woman, John Limley, another 306 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: woman who is driving Graves's car, using her cell phone, 307 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 1: taking care of her dog. What right? And this name 308 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: Arturo Novoa is one we haven't heard yet because that's 309 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: not the name he was using when he was with 310 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 1: his girlfriend. Also when he was with these friends that 311 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: were keeping a friend a freezer. Yes, Artiro Novoa is 312 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: the same guy. I think you said Anthony that wanted 313 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: somebody else to quote store his freezer. So correct, Anthony 314 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 1: Gonzalez and Artura Novoa one and the same. But his 315 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: name is really our tour of Novola. You know what 316 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: I always love And let me throw this to doctor 317 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: Wendy Dickinson, Atlanta psychologist, founder of Grow Counseling. I love 318 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,239 Speaker 1: reading an indictment to a jury because you know, when 319 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: you start a felony case, the prosecution reads the indictment, 320 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: and I love reading that indictment out loud, especially when 321 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: there are a string of aliases behind the defendant's name. 322 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: For instance, Jackie Howard aka also known as Jahoe, also 323 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: known as the Jack. Yeah, and you go on and 324 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: on and on and on, and finally the jury's like, 325 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: I don't have an alias, I don't have a quote 326 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: street name. Why does this person have so many names? 327 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: Having multiple names? It's never a sign of good things, Wendy, Yeah. 328 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: I mean when you look at somebody who has a 329 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: string of multiple names, you start to wonder what is 330 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: it that they're trying to cover up? You know, we 331 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: look at behavior that's outside of the normal curve of behavior, 332 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: and like you said, most of us use one name. 333 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: We're straightforward about who we are. That's our identity. When 334 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: somebody has these versions of themselves and they're trying to 335 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 1: portray in different ways, it starts to raise questions about 336 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: what their real intentions are. Same thing, Aland when a 337 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: guy has multiple cell phones, Alan, I'm always suspicious Why 338 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: I have more than one cell phone? Who do you 339 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: want to call on one phone versus the other phone? Alan, Well, 340 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: ones for business and once for family. M Okay, let 341 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: me go back to you, John Linley, Crime online dot 342 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: Com investigator reporters. So we figured this much out. But 343 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: what I don't know? Who is Layton? I know Artiro 344 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: Novoa aka Anthony? Who is Layton? That is our tour 345 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: Novoah's new girlfriend Katrina Layton, or maybe she's not a 346 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: new girlfriend. Maybe she's been a girlfriend the whole time. 347 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 1: That's for investigators to find out. Both of them had 348 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: been booked into the County jail. Youngstown Police tell us 349 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: that although Novoa denied knowing anything about a body inside 350 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: a freezer, he had the keys to the padlock when 351 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: he was arrested. Okay, that's pretty damnage, do Doctor Michelle Dupree. 352 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: Now we really need you, doctor Dupree, medical examiner out 353 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: of South Carolina, author of Homicide Investigation Field Guide. Just 354 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: the title alone makes me want to stay up at 355 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: night and read that, and sadly, I'm not kidding. Homicide 356 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: Investigation Field Guide. Wow, okay, doctor Michelle Dupree. We know 357 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,719 Speaker 1: that this young girl, twenty eight years old, Shannon Graves, 358 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: is in the freezer. She's dismembered. How do you how 359 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: do you salvage a frozen body? And what does literally 360 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: NonStop freezing temperature due to human remains? But I think 361 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: that's all very good questions, and there's several things we 362 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: have to consider. One is, we do have to defrost 363 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: the body, but we have to do it in such 364 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: a way so that it doesn't occur rapidly so there's 365 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: as little damage as possible to the skin and to 366 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: the tissue. Well, how do you do that? Wait? Wait, wait, wait, wait, 367 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: you just told me something I've never thought of. I've 368 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: had plenty of cases where the body have been frozen, 369 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: but you're telling me you have to unthought it in 370 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 1: a particular way so as to decrease the likelihood of damage. 371 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: What do you mean by that, well, so that if 372 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: we need to do microscopic studies, and we always try 373 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: to do microscopic studies in our autopsies so that we 374 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: can preserve as much tissue as possible without the frozen artifact. 375 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: So we just defrost it slowly. You mean you just 376 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: let the body sit there. You certainly don't warm it 377 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: up in any way, do you. That's right, We just 378 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: let it most we sit there. Okay, so let me 379 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: understand this. The body parts are in garbage bags, John Limley, Yes, correct, Okay. 380 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: What happens? Then the meatball aficionado finds the dead body 381 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: and the padlocked freezer. Whoops, the I unscrewed the padlock 382 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: and calls her husband. I still don't believe that without 383 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: knowing what was in the garbage bag, she called her husband. 384 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: I think she looked in there and she saw a body. 385 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: But that's just me. But they better get that and 386 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: nailed down before they go to trial. The husband comes home, 387 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: they confirm its body, and then what happens. This is 388 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: when very quickly police discover the identity of our Toura 389 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: Novoa aka Anthony Gonzalez and his girlfriend charged them. Now, 390 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: as for this girlfriend, Katrina Layton. It's discovered that during 391 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 1: this time period she had since Shannon's disappearance, she had 392 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: essentially taken over Shannon's life, even taking care of her 393 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: dog and driving her car after her appearance. And one 394 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: important point, Katrina Layton was also the one who bought 395 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: that freezer where the body was kept for who knows 396 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: how long. Okay, this is what I don't understand, and 397 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: I'm not to that point yet because I don't know 398 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 1: all the facts. But how does one person murder somebody, 399 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 1: dismember the body and everybody else just goes along with it. 400 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to go out to my partner in crime, 401 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: Alan Duke. Alan, you and I have covered so many cases. 402 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: You were at SNN long before me. You were with 403 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: me so many nights at HLN. We there was so 404 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: many cases where people will commit a crime, which is 405 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: bad enough, but those other people around it in the 406 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: mix that knew what had happened, that went a lot. 407 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: Here you've got this woman Layton, I guess, wearing her clothes, 408 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: taking care of her dog, driving her car. I mean, 409 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: she's got to know. Yeah, it's like in the Tera 410 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: Grinstead case, the trial going on bo Duke's helped his 411 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: friend Ryan burned the body in a pecan roag. Why 412 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: would you do that? You didn't kill that person, Why 413 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: would you have anything to do with it? I don't. Again, 414 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to go to shrink on that. But let 415 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,959 Speaker 1: me get the rest of the fact. So Linley, they 416 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: identify that it is Shannon. No, no, they don't yet. 417 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: They identify that the freezer was brought over there by 418 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: Artiro Novoa under the name Anthony, and then they pieced 419 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: together that the girlfriend Layton has been driving Shannon's car 420 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: and taking care of her dog. Okay, then what happens, Well, 421 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: they discovered that after Shannon was killed and locked away 422 00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: in that freezer, this girlfriend, Katrina Layton, she had blamed 423 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: Grave's identity and lived her life, but she didn't really, 424 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,959 Speaker 1: you know, she didn't go to the point of, you know, 425 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,479 Speaker 1: changing her name and identification and such. Novoa and Leyton 426 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 1: allegedly moved inside of Shannon's home, used her credit cards, 427 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 1: even caring for her dog. All the while the community 428 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: is searching for this young woman. So basically, Katrina moved 429 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: in with Arturo started living Shannon's life. She didn't hold 430 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: herself out to be Shannon. She just lived her life, 431 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: using her phone, caring for a dog, apparently the two 432 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: just driving her car, wearing her clothes. I mean, but 433 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 1: that is impersonating her. John Linley, Kathleen Murphy. That's gonna 434 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: look horrible if this ever goes to court, that she 435 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 1: just walked into somebody's home. How could she argues she 436 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: didn't know anything had happened to Shannon Graves when she's 437 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: taking care of her dog, wearing her clothes, driving her car, 438 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: and using her cell phone with all of her contacts 439 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,360 Speaker 1: in it. Oh, Nancy, She didn't say she was impersonating. 440 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 1: She said she was just used her item, using her ID, 441 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: using her home, taking care of her dog. But to her, 442 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: that's not her boyfriend, her apartment, her car, her driver's license, 443 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: her credit cards, her dog, her cell phone. I mean, 444 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 1: she's not. What am I missing? That is impersonal? That's 445 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: I come into your house and I'll start wearing your clothes, 446 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: taking care of your children and having dinner with your husband, 447 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: driving your car and calling people on your cell phone. 448 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say, I'm not impersonating you. Fine, have it. 449 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: Your white Nemaha Dati former California prosecutor. She's in deep, 450 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 1: deep trouble. Yeah, she is. This is pretty terrible, using 451 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: somebody's ID, using the car, everything that is impersonating somebody 452 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: and seems like she's an accessory. There's no way she 453 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 1: can have known about any of this. She needs to 454 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 1: find a really good defense attorney and separate herself and 455 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: start to fight as soon as possible. Take a listen 456 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: to Youngstown Lieutenant Doug bbof Nick and her friend A. W. 457 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: K be into with you. Arrest made. Two individuals were 458 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: arrested and charged with abuse of a corpse, and then 459 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: the other individual was also additionally charged with obstructing justice 460 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: in connection with the remains found in Campmell. We believe 461 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: that we are investigating it because we believe that it 462 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: originated in the city of Youngstown and was taken the 463 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 1: camel Are those two people are troa in Katrina Taylor. 464 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: That's correct, he's ald Us wearing Camelot Street house. It 465 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: was on Devitt Avenue in camel What can you say 466 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: about the body those found? It appears to be a female. However, 467 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: we weren't able to closely examine it. The body was 468 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: taken to Cuyahoga County Corner's office where there's going to 469 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: be a forensic examination earlier this week. We'll be able 470 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: to determine the hopefully the cause of death. The next 471 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: steps today in a murder case that has garnered national attention, 472 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: two people accusing the murder of a woman and then 473 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: putting her body in a freezer, we're in court today. 474 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: First News reporter Tyler Trill was there and has the 475 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: latest from the courtroom. The couple young Sound police accused 476 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: of hiding a missing woman's body inside a freezer pleaded 477 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: not guilty to all three of their charges inside a 478 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: Mahoney County courtroom this morning. Arturo Novoa and Katrina Layton 479 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: are charged with aggravated murder, tampering with evidence, and abuse 480 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: of a corpse after a police discovered the body of 481 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: Shannon Graves in a freezer and a camel home in July. 482 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: They've both been in Mahoney County jail ever since. Grays 483 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: is the ex girlfriend of Novoah. The two lived together 484 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: in a home in Youngstown. Prosecutors say Katrina Layton then 485 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: assumed Shannon Grave's life after she had died. Bond was 486 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: set at a million dollars for both Novoah and Layton 487 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: back in July. That bond continues. Out to John Linley, 488 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: Crime online dot Com investigative reporter, I noticed that these 489 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: two are charged now with aggravated murderer of this beautiful 490 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: young girl, Shannon Grays. But two other people are charged 491 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: with obstructing justice. So bottom line, this Ohio man thirty 492 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: one years old, Orchia Novoa, hid his girlfriend's body in 493 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: a freezer while living with another woman, also in her thirties, 494 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 1: who assumed Shannon Graves identity. It's Artira Novoa and Katrina 495 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: Leyton arrested by Youngstown police. I learned about this story 496 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: conveniently at a restaurant slash Bar. I was not drinking 497 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: across the street from the courthouse in Youngstown, and what 498 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: I heard left me shocked and upset, not just about 499 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: the murder, but the fact that people would stand by 500 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: and be part of this scheme. To John Limley, I 501 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: noticed that two people are charged, Novoah and Leyton with 502 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: Shannon's murder, But who are the other two people that 503 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: are charged with obstruction? The names in the indictment Andrew 504 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: Herman and Michelle Enfield. These two were charged on engaging 505 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: in a pattern of corrupt activity, tampering with evidence twelve 506 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: counts there, and abuse of a corpse. In short, they 507 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: assisted Novoa with getting a rid hiding the body of 508 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: Shannon Graves. I just want to make sure, John Linley, 509 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: of one thing. The two names you read out, they're 510 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: not the meatball lover right, they're not the people that 511 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: claim they find the body and they're shocked and they okay, 512 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: so they're in the clear at they're the good guys 513 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: in this scenario. Who are these two other people? How 514 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: could they? You know? I don't get it. Nimahadatti, former 515 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:38,479 Speaker 1: California prosecutor. I've seen it before where other people just 516 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: stand by and let something horrible happen and help in 517 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: the cover up and do nothing. Yeah, this is pretty terrible. 518 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: It seems like they actually helped conceal It seems like 519 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: with that obstruction of justice charge, they helped conceal the 520 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: crime as well. And it's just disgusting. And the apartment 521 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: that they lived in was actually Shannon Graves's apartment. Artiro Novoa, 522 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: the boyfriends and then Layton basically assume her life, all 523 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: her belongings. They take over her life. These two have 524 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: now landed in a court of law. Take a listen 525 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: to this the next steps today in a murder case 526 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: that has garnered national attention, two people accusing the murder 527 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: of a woman and then putting her body in a freezer. 528 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: We're in court today. First News reporter Tyler Trill was 529 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: there and has the latest from the courtroom. The couple 530 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: young Sound police accused of hiding a missing woman's body 531 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: inside a freezer pleaded not guilty to all three of 532 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: their charges inside a Mahoney County courtroom this morning. Artiro 533 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: Novoa and Katrina Layton are charged with aggravated murder, tampering 534 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: with evidence, and abuse of a corpse after a police 535 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: discovered the body of Shannon Graves in a freezer and 536 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: a camel home in July. They've both been in Mahoney 537 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: County jail ever since. Graves is the ex girlfriend of Novoah. 538 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: Graves family reported her missing back in February. The two 539 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: lived together in a home in Youngstown. Prosecutors said Katrina 540 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: Layton then assumed Shannon Grave's life after she had died. 541 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: Bond was set at a million dollars for both Novoa 542 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: and Layton back in July that bond continues. Law enforcement 543 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: also searched the couple's home. Those that were charged with 544 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: obstructing and helping hide the body, and they say, quote, 545 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: the measures this group allegedly took to cover up the 546 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: gruesome homicide are incomprehensible. That's from the age might Dwing. 547 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: These three defendants are accused of engaging in a pattern 548 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: of corrupt activity and attempt to mislead authorities and conceal 549 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: the atrocious crime. Wow, how long they got away with 550 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: her body being dismembered and frozen and a freezer sitting 551 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: in somebody else's basement is just amazing to me. To 552 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: Detective Stephen Lampley, how do you get away with something 553 00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: for that long glance? It depends on the situation. You 554 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: look at Jeffrey Dahmer. Friends, of course, this is no way, 555 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: this is not a serial killing that Jeffrey Dahmer got 556 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: away with this forever. I mean, it seemed like it 557 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,320 Speaker 1: was an eternity that he was killing and giving away 558 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 1: with it, and d was using a preaser himself. It 559 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: just depends on the circumstance that it can be done 560 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 1: and has been done and may be done again. I'm 561 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: also learning that the missing woman's body, of course, discovered 562 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: in a freezer, was not complete. Her entire body has 563 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: still not been found. I've also learned she was only 564 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: identified through fingerprints in DNA. To medical examiner and author 565 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: doctor Michelle Dupree, what does that tell you they had 566 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: to identify her through through fingerprints in DNA. Well, that 567 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: tells me basically that the body was in a condition 568 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: that it was unidentifiable by any other means, And identifying 569 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 1: a diseased person through fingerprints is relatively easy as fond 570 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: as we have tissue again that we can use to 571 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: get a fingerprint from and something to match it too. Well, 572 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,359 Speaker 1: in my mind, Nemaha, Daddy, I don't know if you're 573 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 1: thinking like me, but what it tells me is she 574 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,240 Speaker 1: doesn't have a head. They cannot identify her, They cannot 575 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: be in facial recognition. They had to use fingerprints in DNA. 576 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: That's what it tells me. Nema. I don't know, but 577 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: I mean, they couldn't identify her through gental records, They 578 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: could not identify her through facial recognition. They had to 579 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: use her fingerprints. Nema. Yeah, this points to me this 580 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: was all premeditated. They thought about this. This was done 581 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: in a very articulate and disgusting matter and was well 582 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: thought out. It's terrible, but Nan she may not have 583 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 1: had a head, but she also could have just been 584 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 1: too decomposed to have visual recognition. And unless we have 585 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: something to compare general records too, and we have an 586 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 1: idea who that person is, there's no judge base in 587 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: the sky for everybody who general records, So fingerprints are 588 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: an excellent way to do that. You know, what does 589 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: that do to a family, doctor Wendy Dickinson, that you 590 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: don't have your child's whole body to bury. Potentially her 591 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: head or some other part of her body is missing. Well, 592 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: I mean it's obviously a trauma on top of a trauma. 593 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: I mean the family has already been through so much 594 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 1: with her being missing and not knowing what's happening and 595 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: finding out all of these details, but then not to 596 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 1: be able to have the closure of being able to 597 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: bury her and see her for one last time. It's 598 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: extremely difficult on their family on their grieving process and 599 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: really can lead to some pretty complex ramifications for the grieving. 600 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,439 Speaker 1: To John Lonely, Crime online dot Com investigative reporter, where 601 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: does the case stand now. Well, before I get to that, 602 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: it's interesting to point out because we've talked about where 603 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: these extra body parts that were missing have gone. This 604 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 1: indictment shows that they disposed of graves body by both 605 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: chopping it up the parts that they found in the 606 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 1: freezer and dissolving part of it in acid before sticking 607 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,800 Speaker 1: it in the freezer. Prosecutors alleged that these people helped 608 00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 1: burn graves possessions, used her phone and cart, and earlier 609 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 1: this month, one of them, i Enfeld, even threatened someone 610 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: who dared to ask her questions about Shannon and her disappearance. 611 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,760 Speaker 1: So at this point, first of all, Katrina Layton reached 612 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: a plea deal. She was able to avoid sentencing by 613 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: simply agreeing to testify against her boyfriend. Now the other two. 614 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,360 Speaker 1: The trial date at this point is set for June third, 615 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,799 Speaker 1: and this is when Artura Novoa and his co defendants 616 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: Andrew Hermann and his wife Michelle Ienfeld, they will all 617 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 1: go to trial on murder and disposal of Grave's body. 618 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: At this hour, Artura Novoa heading to trial for murderer 619 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 1: and abuse of a corpse. But what I will never 620 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: understand is why other people willingly go along with evil, 621 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: and stand by and let it happen, and do nothing. 622 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 1: We wait as justice unfals. Nancy Grace crimes Toory, signing 623 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 1: off goodbye friend,
