[@PA-hi9wj]

(Anthony)Novoa moved Layton (Trina) into his apartment shortly after Ms Graves (Shannon) vanished. This all started cause Trina was extremely jealous of Shannon who they murdered together. Layton then took on Ms Graves’ identity, using her credit cards and mobile phone, driving her car and even taking on her pet. Basically, Ms Layton moved in with Mr Novoa and started living her life. She didn’t hold herself out to be Shannon, she just lived her life, using her phone, credit cards & caring for her dog. Katrina Layton pleaded guilty to four counts of tampering with evidence, three counts of obstruction of justice, and one account of abuse of a corpse. Novoa was previously sentenced to 48 years in prison for Graves' murder and dismemberment, and the subsequent cover-up of the crime.

I noticed that moment too. He turned his head far to the right held it there... Almost like he was avoiding a blow or ... Something. Body language doesn't disappoint.

[@dimtool]

Also, he was never straightforward about the bags and when the detective asked how many they burned, he said "like two". You only say "like" when you're not sure or BSing and you definitely don't forget the number of bags when it's only two.

Forget these detectives who provide sympathy and a shoulder to cry on. These are criminals. What happens here is nothing compared to eternity.

[@megashedinja9700]

Clearly, you don't understand how to effectively interrogate people and pry the information you need out of them. Many times, feigning sympathy leads you to more information than if you're stony. That might've worked well in this case, but it definitely won't in all of them.

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

12:30 The more he talks saying that he’s worried about Arturo “taking him down with him”, the more I think he actually WAS an accessory He keeps talking about his involvement with the fire and this is either attention seeking behaviour OR he has done more that that and he’s only admitting to the fire/burning as a way to minimise his own involvement. Edit: Wow, after watching this whole video. This Andrew guy couldn’t help himself. In his attempt to appear innocent, he kept mentioning the burning and talking about being “falsely accused” of something like being an accessory. Because HE WAS 😳 If he’d just said nothing, never mentioned burning anything, he’d possibly be in a better position than he is now. Absolutely fascinating.

[@ddpxl]

trina could have hammered him any day.. he tried to save himself

[@MissOrchid12]

He really thought he was being clever, as if presenting himself to the police would clear his involvement by making him seem innocent.

[@WilliamReinhard-d9x]

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

Seriously, detectives must be so sick and tired of hearing the “she left with another guy” story and it’s many variations. Oh, and the “she went for a walk and she never came back” story along with the “I woke up and she wasn’t there”. That last one is just lazy. They’re all lazy let’s be honest, but that last one really is pathetic. I think if I heard a missing female’s partner say one of these excuses, I’d immediately be suspicious of them. Immediately.

[@lesatyson2811]

I believe Arturo and Katrina both are to blame for the death. I feel Katrinia was being played with by Arturo saying he wanted ger and he had Katrina there when Shanin got home and Katrina got overly jealous and hit her first and Arturo joined in. Then got Andrew involved to help him hide the body. Andrew got nervous and came up with half a truth. And they all got to pointing the fingers. Arturo and Katrina should have gotten life with no parole or death penalty. I'm just wondering what they did with her head.

[@FrankskinOrweed-ep4ij]

Yes, I wonder does lunatic Trina have custody of her kids? Hardly.. She looks like a meth head but idk how anyone could destroy body like that! Andrew included, that would break ppl with morals
