A Campbell couple is looking for ways to recover emotionally from a horrific discovery they made this past weekend.

Ken Eshenbaugh was still visibly shaken on Tuesday as he spoke exclusively with 21 News Reporter Janet Rogers about finding a body in a freezer he and his wife had been storing for someone who they used to think of as a friend.

The story most of us have heard is of two people arrested and each jailed on $1-million bond after a body was found Saturday inside a freezer in the basement of Campbell home. 

The coroner has now confirmed that the body is that of 28-year-old Shannon Graves, who family members say they had not seen since Christmas.

The beginning of the story goes back four and a half years when Eshenbaugh says a friend introduced him to a man who called himself Anthony Gonzales.

Eshenbaugh says he became friends with Gonzales because Eshenbaugh owned some audio equipment and Gonzales was interested in recording rap music.

Fast forward to the middle of this past July when Gonzales asked Eshenbaugh for a favor.

Gonzales says Eshenbaugh told him that the electricity was out at his home and he was concerned that some meat he was keeping in a freezer was in danger of thawing.

When Gonzales asked Eshenbaugh if he could bring the freezer to his Campbell home, Eshenbaugh agreed.

Gonzales arrived at night with a friend, according to Eshenbaugh , bringing the freezer through a back door and into the basement.

Eshenbaugh tells 21 News that it wasn't until three days after the freezer arrived that his wife noticed that it was secured with a padlock.

He says he didn't think much about the lock because Gonzales could be odd at times.

The freezer sat in the basement for a few weeks until last Saturday afternoon when Eshenbaugh 's wife planned to make spaghetti and meatballs. She thought she would borrow some hamburger from the freezer, and simply replace it later.

Eshenbaugh 's wife told him that she removed the three screws securing the padlock to the freezer and then opened the door.

She told her husband that when she found a large garbage bag inside, she got a “bad feeling”, replaced the three screws and called him.

When Eshenbaugh got home he opened the freezer and found that whatever was inside the bag appeared to be frozen solid.

Using a knife, he found part of the bag that he could manage to slice open.

That's when Eshenbaugh made a grim discovery.

Eshenbaugh says he saw a frozen human foot inside the bag.

He called 9-1-1 and was soon visited by police.

Within 24 hours, Youngstown Police had arrested two people.

It was only then that Eshenbaugh learned that Anthony Gonzales was not, and never had been Anthony Gonzales.

He is actually 31-year-old, Arturo Novoa, who along with 34-year-old Katrina Layton have been booked into the Mahoning County Jail on charges of abuse of a corpse.

Youngstown Prosecutor Dana Lantz revealed in Youngstown Municipal Court on Monday that although Novoa denied knowing anything about a body inside a freezer, she says Novoa had the keys to the padlock when he was arrested.

As for Layton, Prosecutor Lantz said in court that she essentially took over Grave's life, taking care of her dog and driving her car after her disappearance.

Lantz says Layton also is the one who bought the freezer where the body was kept for who knows how long.

Whether or not more charges will be filed or if more people will be charged depends on the outcome of the police investigation and what the coroner determines what caused the death of Graves.

Novoa and Layton are scheduled to appear in Youngstown Municipal Court next week.

Eshenbaugh , who knew Novoa for years and remains shocked over last weekend's discovery, says he's learned not to trust anyone.
