Wife Poisons Husband To Receive $37,000,000 Inheritance | Forensic Files

He gets his inheritance this afternoon. That's why we're moving. We're going to bear all our bills off
that we need to pay off and then take a long vacation. Less than 24 hours from this footage,
Hina Thea Canoyer's husband, Steve Riley, was lifellighted to the hospital due to a sudden sickness that
immobilized his body. Within an hour of being at the hospital, he would pass away.
I thought everybody knew the story. [screaming] Oh my god. What the cop doesn't realize at this
time is that AA is a very good actor and she knows far more about Steve's sickness than she leads on. You see,
Steve was less than an hour away from cashing in a $37 million inheritance payment when he became fatally ill. And
as the multi-week investigation would progress, detectives would quickly discover that Steve's death was due to
poisoning. Someone had killed him. And everyone close to Steve all had dire needs to claim his newfound fortune by
any means necessary. It was like 20s something million. Best thing you can do is to get on a plane
and don't look back. Police Department. It's the police department. It's not Chad.
This body cam was recorded the night before Steve Riley's death. Steve and Aa's drunken neighbor had been harassing
them and other residents of the neighborhood. So, Aa called 911 to deescalate the situation. What makes
this specific [music] footage interesting is not the situation with her drunken neighbor, but rather what
Ana would tell police after. Her $37 million inheritance fund that she's just hours away from cashing in.
Sorry. You thought it was Chad? Yeah. Who was trying to kick in everybody's door?
Who was he? Busted to my light and look at the garbage can. Who was your Who was he fighting with
out here? Uh my fiance. He went for a walk. Pull down. Who's your fiance? Steve Riley.
Steve Riley. Yeah. Okay. What's your name? I'm ask. Okay. Is your fiance hurt at all?
Uh, he got gash on his forehead. Okay. You know, we just want to talk with him, too, just to make sure he's all right if
possible. There's blood all the way over there. So, what actually happened tonight? What
were they fighting over? Chad was trying to kick in the door just for no reason or just
just drunk. He does that. Where do you think your fiance would have went so we could just get inside of
the story real quick? Oh, I I don't know. She got a phone on her. No, we don't have a phone until this
afternoon. But this is where reveals something she shouldn't have. Their plans to pay off
all of their bills, which had over the years been racking up. And she does this for one reason, to brag. He gets his
inheritance this afternoon. That's why we're moving them. We're going to bear all our bills off
that we need to pay off. And his lawyer gets here today at 2:00 to sign the paperwork for his money.
Okay. And then he's going to go pay that and his lawyer pay the rest of his child's support
and then take a long vacation. According to Aina, Steve is set to receive an inheritance from his late uncle
tomorrow, which supposedly is enough money to turn their lives around completely. What police don't realize at
this time is how enormous this inheritance sum really is. In 2016, Steve's friend had received a
call from a man named Marcus Riley, who claimed to be Steve's longlost uncle from Ireland. He had explained that he
finally wanted to get in touch with his nephew, Steve. After [music] connecting with each other, Steve had learned he
was in line to receive an inheritance upon his uncle's passing, which was a sum of over $17 million at the time.
This was enough to permanently fix the financial struggles he and had been dealing with. A couple of years later, 4
months prior to the footage you just watched, Steve would learn of his uncle's passing from a British lawyer
who had contacted him. Additionally, he would learn that his $17 million inheritance had grown to over $30
million due to his uncle's successful investments over the years. That's why AA cannot hold herself from boasting to
the police. Tomorrow, they plan to meet with their lawyer to officially sign the
documents and claim the $30 million inheritance fund. The two plan to take the money and live with Steve's long-
lost family in Ireland. Quote, "Living in the castles." In [music] less than 24 hours, aa will be rich. So, as officers
leave for the night, aa would make one final statement about how her life was about to change forever.
If you want to step back inside and then if Steve shows back up, we're going to try to look for him to get his side of
the story as well. But if Steve shows back up, if you just want to give us a call or have him give us a call, we'll
talk to him then. Okay. Yeah. He was going to stop by anyways, like I said. Sounds good.
I've only been able to put like $5 on his fines, but at least it was something. Okay, sounds good.
We're going to pay it all off all at once. Perfect. Thank you. Steve would return to his and AA's
apartment [music] that night, and the two would patiently wait, not being able to sleep, [music] as they counted down
the hours until they would receive their millions. The plan to receive the funds
was simple. At 2:00 p.m., the group would go to the airport to meet their lawyer, who was flying in with their
inheritance paperwork. Ana and Steve obliged and would arrive at the airport alongside their two friends, Billy and
Wes, before patiently waiting. However, while they were waiting for the lawyer's
arrival, Steve would become extremely sick. He would claim feeling drunk, even throwing up in the airport bathrooms.
His heart rate was rapidly increasing, and his condition worsened to the point where Wes decided to take him home to
help him treat his sickness. Aina would wait at the airport for the lawyer to arrive. However, he would never show up.
And after a couple of hours with no lawyer, no money, and a sick fiance, she would return home as well.
Everyone believed that Steve had suffered from a heat [music] stroke as a result of working on his truck for hours
that morning. But Steve's symptoms were far more fatal than the heat strokes he had received in the past, even
experiencing fatal signs of kidney failure throughout the night. And in the morning, Steve would become [music]
completely unresponsive, forcing aa to call 911. 911, what's the cause of your emergency?
Uh, my husband's really sick. He got heat drunk yesterday and now he's not waking up. And
come on, wake up. What's the phone number calling from? I don't have a phone number.
It's a phone that never got finished getting set up. Come on, babe. I've been trying everything. I water.
Okay. But he is breathing. [music] Yes, [snorts] he's snoring. He won't talk to me anymore. He won't look at me.
He won't OPEN HIS EYES. OKAY, I've got help on the way. Just keep an eye on his breathing and if
anything changes with his breathing, tell me immediately. Hello. Yeah. It's officer Sullivan. Mine on PD.
Yeah. Hang on. By the way, ran yesterday inside the home. Officers would find Steve fully unresponsive and they would
drag him out of the house through piles of trash and filth. Quickly, he was rushed to the nearest hospital, but with
his condition so poor, he would be flown to the St. Alexis Hospital to undergo more professional treatment. But before
we get to that, I want to help you protect yourself [music] and your family from something that can ruin your life.
Identity theft. Ara, the sponsor of today's video, helps protect you and your loved ones against exactly that.
Have you ever Googled yourself, a family member, or a loved one? If so, [music] you've probably been shocked by how much
information is out there. And this is not even mentioning what companies, data brokers, and scammers might know about
[music] you. In 2024, during the National Public Data Breach, a friend of mine's name and social security number
got leaked, which could have allowed malicious [music] people to open credit cards and take out loans in his name.
Luckily, he caught it in time and could take precautions, [music] but over 2.9 billion records were stolen
in that data breach. And many of those people involved don't even realize their information is out there. Aro will help
you take [music] those precautions today by removing your personal information from data brokers and people search
sites that can sell your info to identity thieves, [music] scammers, and much more. I'm not leaving myself and my
family vulnerable to data breaches and brokers. And if you don't want to [music] either, you can go to
www.ra.com/dinsanity ara.com/dins insanity [music] to try 2 weeks for free. Enough time for Aura to find out
if any of your personal data is exposed. After Steve was flown to the hospital, Ana would explain to the officers that
Steve [music] had gotten a heat stroke which caused his illness. The officers had no reason not to believe her story,
so they would comfort her throughout the day as Steve was being treated. Unfortunately, Steve would never again
regain consciousness. This is Billy Burkehead, Steve and Aa's neighbor, and he was with Steve and Aa
the entire day of his sudden sickness, even working on the truck with Steve and traveling with him to the airport. Billy
simply refused to believe that Steve's death was caused by heat stroke, especially since Steve seemed perfectly
fine all day until they reached the airport. Instead, [music] Billy suspected something far more sinister
and wanted to share his theory with the detectives. So the day after Steve's death, Billy would call officers back to
apartment 912A to detail his side of the story. We think she poisoned me. I'm almost sure she poisoned me.
So what's your plan right now? We're making sure nothing goes. Cuz you know when they go to jail, they
die and clean. How long are you going to stay here? I'm going stay here until the sun gets
here. When's the sun supposed to get here? He's not dead. I told you. He stop. He's not.
He's dead. And he was poisoned. Billy's explanation for Steve's death is well, horrifying. If Ana truly did
poison Steve, then his symptoms would make sense and would add up far more than the idea of him having a heat
stroke. However, why would Ana want to poison her husband if they were about to live such a good life? Well, Billy seems
to have the exact answer to that question. The other day, she throwed all his stuff
out out the yard from his from his house. Yeah. And he come out and he was holding
his head down and then we were supposed to go up to the airport and meet this guy cuz he's supposed to get quite a bit
of money. Come back. We had to help him out of the car. Had to help him in the house and everything was fine. Billy
come home and then the next morning she's throwing all her stuff out. I think she was supposed to call the
ambulance. She never called the ambulance. Billy thinks that Ana was [music] secretly planning to split with Steve
after the inheritance was received, even going so far as to throw his belongings
out of the house after they returned from the airport. Even worse is that AA lied about getting help for Steve after
they returned from the airport, pretending to take him to get treated when in reality they never left the
house. Unfortunately, AA overheard all of this talk and decided to give Billy a piece of her own mind.
I'm taking off. I'm not worthy of my life. Hey, stay here. Stay here. I need to take a picture. Picture
[music] what? Building truck. Oh, you can sit on this. Steve collapsed yesterday.
Mhm. Went to the hospital. I found out was poison. How'd you find that out? [ __ ] You told me. I'm just telling you,
son. Don't ever stop that nasty people. They're nasty people. They're nasty. Aa coincidentally seemed to put the
blame on the neighbors, calling them evil people. [music] It's become more clear that Steve's
death was far more sinister than officers had first expected. Officers now had a potential homicide case to
investigate. But as they went to leave, one officer accidentally [music] broke the news to Aina that her fianceé had
passed away. I thought everybody knew. I'm sorry. Oh my god. I guess the sun is is on his way here.
Okay. Apparently the sun is on the way here. So the sun better tomorrow. Yeah. Aa's reaction to her husband's
passing is one of the strangest I've ever seen. She starts balling her eyes out, then suddenly jumps right back to
her normal self, as if she hadn't even heard the terrible news to begin with. It's becoming more and more clear that
something is not adding up. Billy was not the only person to initially put the blame on AA. In fact, he was only one of
many who would come forward with their concerns. In fact, Billy's wife, Lynn, had stated that AA had made horrifying
statements in the past, alluding that if she was to ever kill her partner, she would poison him using an antifreeze. To
add to the pile of already incriminating information, Steve would be tested for ethylene glycol in his bloodstream, a
key ingredient in antifreeze. To nobody's surprise, the results showed toxic levels of ethylene glycol in his
system. [music] This information would serve as the catalyst for initiating a formal homicide investigation into the
death of Steve Riley. Following the commencement of the investigation, a series of intensive interrogations would
be conducted with all parties connected to the incident, [music] including AA to
ultimately solve Steve's murder. However, before that, AA would launch a plan of her own.
It must have been made apparent to her that she was in hot water as the day after this encounter with the police,
she would call them back to apartment 912A to explain theories of her own. Hi. Yeah.
Okay. What's going on? I don't know. We've been here. He keeps trying to take Steve's truck.
Where's the truck at? In the garage. Is this the paperwork on the thing or No, no, no. This is uh property
that Steve was buying. Oh. After his inheritance got here. I think he left it to his son, but I had to
Google where to go to get his inheritance switched over to the people he left it to. I don't know. I don't
know. The day he was supposed to meet his lawyer. Apparently, I thought it was Heathro. Apparently he was poisoned.
I'm finding out with anifreeze. All right. And I don't know how to get a hold of a
guy in London with his inheritance. He should be here in town. He never showed up at the airport. Of course.
Yeah. Trying to figure out why. Aina seems to conspire to the idea that Steve may have drank the antifreeze
himself or that someone may have poisoned him. However, despite all the suspicion being thrown her way, she can
only stay on track for minutes before going back on tangents about her inheritance fund. It was clear at this
point that somebody had poisoned Steve. The idea of this being self-inflicted was unlikely, as Steve had a
life-changing amount of money waiting for him and would have had to drink the antifreeze just hours before going to
claim the cash. Clearly, Aina can be made out as the lead suspect due to the amount of
fingers being pointed her way, but the other potential suspects should not be ruled out either. With this in mind,
officers would bring their first suspect in for questioning, Rebecca. Rebecca was
another neighbor of AA and Steves, who was very involved with the entire case so far, pitching her opinion to police
whenever she could. Rebecca was brought in primarily to add to the pile of evidence to confront AA with later. But
as the interview would continue, strange red flags would arise from Rebecca's odd
personality. You guys know my daughter? Yes. Yeah. How's she doing? Yesterday, um, God works on mysterious
ways. She was arrested, released. She said, uh, this is, um, the demons that are in her, the spirits that follow her,
was able to change her butt cheeks, so maybe they'll stop following her now, she said.
Yeah. Well, hopefully she missed out. I pray she does. Starting off a homicide interview,
explaining how demons left your daughter's butt is an interesting way of proving your innocence. But the
detective isn't here to judge, rather to get to the bottom of Steve's death. So,
he'll ignore these strange remarks. It sounds like you might know something. I'm a nosy neighbor.
It's good. I like it. Well, I know. Um I know what cars belong, what cars don't. Um who lives in
my neighborhood, who doesn't. So, yes. That's good. We're investigating Steve's passing just because it sounds like
maybe there's something. Yeah. I can I suspicious about whatever I know. How long have Steve and Anna lived there
that you know of? Approximately 2 years. Okay. How was their relationship that you know?
The first year was Steve was looking great, doing great. The past year, I don't know if she suffers from mental
illness at times, but her mental state went downhill the past year. Okay. When you lose weight, when you're
not acting right, shady stuff going on, you're not working. Yes, he was. And it got worse the past couple months.
It seems as though Steve's life wasn't as straightforward as initially thought. Having drug issues, weight loss, and
possibly depression. Whether or not was a large contributor to these deteriorating issues is something they
will soon learn as this interview would become a pivotal piece of evidence. Laying the groundwork to dismantle her
defense entirely during the interrogation. You think and it got worse the past couple months.
Using you think lately is that theme whatever. Yes. Do you think she was using? Yeah.
Okay. And alcohol used too. Okay. Yes. Both of them with alcohol. Okay. So Steve had mentioned before like in the
past about about getting money. Yes. How many? Like 2 million. The amount Steve had planned to receive
was something he kept very secret. Often lying to people like Rebecca on how much
he was actually getting. As we'll soon find out, this number was much much larger than 2 million.
His uncle passed away. Um yes. First he said he was going to leave it to Ena and
then they were fighting and and a couple months later he said he went back and changed the will. He told me he was like
don't tell Ena but I changed it. This statement from Rebecca would explain what was talking about last time
she spoke to police and how she was trying to switch the will over from Steve's son to herself. If AA discovered
his plan, it would have given her a strong incentive to do whatever it took to change the will back in her favor,
possibly by any means necessary. Cuz it started 5 months and he told me, "Yeah, I got a will. I'm leaving
everything to Ena if something happens." And then it seemed like 2 months after that, he's like getting nothing cuz she
cuz she's a So that was how he Yeah. Was he ever talking about leaving Ena? Yes. Okay.
You know, I'm going to get this money and leave her, get my own place. So, I go back to California.
Okay. I I met her son last night. Oh, okay. Her son came. I No, I'm sorry. His son. I'm old.
That's okay. He flew in. He I He came up to my apartment. Um but as he's leaving, she
came up, knocked on my door when he was up there. Yeah. To get him. I think she was
nervous. She It was like she was pissed. He was up there. And then she's like, "I
just want to let you know I found the willpapers." So she said in front of you though that
she found willpapers. Yes. Yep. Aa clearly had become obsessed with the idea that she was about to live the life
of her dreams with Steve's inheritance. But after rumors of Steve leaving her, it seems a became terrified that she
might not receive the funds and would be stuck with her depressive living conditions. It's now become obvious how
these events and Steve's strange death could be correlated to one another. However, as Rebecca had stated herself,
she was a nosy neighbor, looking for any rumors or conspiracy theories to help solve the neighborhood drama. I've also
cut out over 40 minutes of completely false information Rebecca gave to detectives, which certainly doesn't add
to her authenticity. In order to further confirm the accuracy of these claims, two more reliable sources would be
brought in the following day. Steve's son Ryan and Billy Burkehead. If anyone would be able to give proper insight
into Steve's life, it would be these two as they were by far the closest people to Steve.
Um, we assigned the case of your dad's passing. You're really the only next of kin that's
maybe had a relationship with your dad, it sounds like. Yeah. Okay. Did he ever talk to you
about Eno when you guys talked to him last year? Uh, yeah. He was talking about how he
was getting a large sum of money and he kind of just wanted to leave her cuz she
didn't really have a job and was like leeching off of them. Did Steve ever talk about leaving Hina
all the time? Okay. every day. She was she talked about poisoning Steve, okay, and me because we're always together
[music] and she didn't like that. And I don't know how much it was is supposed to be. It's way up there in the money.
It was like 20 something million. Best thing you can do is get on the plane and don't look back.
Yeah. I said that's the best thing you can do. Almost every piece of information the
detectives receive leads straight to AA as the killer. It also makes sense why AA hated Billy and [music] Steve's son
so much, as they knew far more information than she would have liked about the inheritance and her schemes to
obtain it. These interviews wouldn't last long as detectives got all the information they needed from the two and
could directly confront AA [music] with it. But before leaving, they would break
disturbing news to Ryan, which would make this case even more of a terrible tragedy.
So, this inheritance now, um, I'm thinking that's the same thing we're thinking, which I mean, and I don't
obviously I don't know for sure, but by all accounts of looking at it, it looks like it's a scam. looks like it's a I
mean the letter has different fonts in it and things and so and the fact that your dad [clears throat] gone there
several times to me some letter never showed up to their report that and all the emails that they tried
to send back to the sender of those emails it always came back undeliverable the inheritance was a scam Steve had
lived for the past 7 years under the impression that if he just patiently waited living through his terrible
living conditions he would come out with more money than he could dream of and finally enjoy life. Even worse was that
this very scam that stagnated his life for years may have been the cause of his very own death. With such a pity of a
case, detectives would go on to interview a handful of other suspects in order to get as much information as they
possibly could to help break down AA's defense. And after multiple days of interviews, the day finally came to
confront AA with everything they've gathered. But despite all this evidence against her, officers knew they would
have a hard time prosecuting a without a confession or incriminating statements.
And that's exactly what they were determined to get. Inside [music] this cut down 1 and 1/2 hour interview,
you'll see some of the most clever interrogation tactics [music] I've ever shown on this channel. slowly
dismantling AA's story until all she has left is an incoherent string of lies. So, like I said, we have been just
talking to everyone like Billy, Russ, everybody um that kind of just knew Steve just to get an idea of like what
was going on in his life. So, you and Steve were in a relationship. Yep. Okay. How long had you guys been
together? 13 years. [music] Okay. Where did you guys meet? Homeless shelter in buffet dinner
in North Dakota. Washington. In Washington. Okay. The detectives would go on to get more
information about aa and Steve's early relationship. But it wouldn't last long before would start conspiring against
Billy and others she wanted to paint as suspects. And I begged him to, you know, stay away
from We've even gotten into fights to stay away from Lynn. Billy and Lynn. Okay.
I don't like calling people nasty and I've seen they seem worse than Steve because he's tall and mean-l looking.
People were intimidated by him. Okay. Just by his look. So what why would you want him to stay
away from Billy and Lynn? Cuz they're really really nasty people. Felonies. Uh breaking into places.
Okay. Uh I knew they did more than pot, you know, smoking more than pot. Did Steve
smoke more of the marijuana? No, he's allergic to marijuana. Okay. Did he Did he use other drugs?
Uh, not for the longest time. Was he using was using that? No. Okay. So, he didn't after that. After he
got the max the last time. Yep. He's like, "Screw this. I'm going to just do what I want and want what I
want." Okay. So, that's when he started using I think so. Okay. This would be the first of AA's lies
during this interrogation. She knew Steve had been using long before the incident she described. But in order to
make Billy seem like the villain in their lives, she wanted to make it seem as though he was the reason for Steve's
drug use. Take note of AA's body language while she clearly lies. She glances up and avoids eye contact,
constantly fidgets and scratches her skin, and most notably stutters and slurs on her speech as she tries to make
up a story. Keep this in mind for the rest of the interrogation, and you'll be able to accurately point out when AA
isn't telling the truth. But now, the police would ask her perhaps the most intriguing question. What exactly did
she plan to do with the inheritance money? So, how when did he find out about this
inheritance? I want to say three months ago. Four months ago. So, what what is the inheritance? I know
you had shown that first day Lieutenant Day and I came um you showed us kind of that letter that was on Steve's phone.
Mhm. Um is that that's the inheritance that was the the letter. Okay. Uh and he was talking to an actual
lawyer, I guess. Okay. From [clears throat] London. Was so this lawyer reached out to him
and said he's I guess I don't even know how he found out about it. He just it just
appeared and he was reading that the money wasn't cursed or whatever. Every single person that went for the
the Riley money over there uh even this 21-year-old had passed away. Clearly aa is running out of resources
to take suspicion off herself. And the detectives won't take long before making her abundantly aware of how horrible of
a liar she is. [music] But for now, they'd like to get some more information on this inheritance and if aa would
admit to trying to claim it all for herself. How [snorts] much money was it? It ended up It was supposed to be 17
million uh 17 million 500,000. So, but with all the properties sold off, it ended up being
37 million. So, there was cash on the properties versus Okay. So I gave all information supposed to be
coming from. Who was the family member? Marcus something. Riley was a [clears throat] brother or uncle.
That was an uncle. Okay. Did he live in Ireland? Okay. How does it get to Is it starting
to be that the lawyer is starting to give him like a time that he's coming to my not?
Yeah. That's pretty much when he kept saying, "I'm going to show up at this time."
And Steve would ride down there. And he wasn't there. And then he'd get the email afterwards that he wasn't uh going
to come until later. Okay. The detectives would spend the next 25 minutes trying to understand's timeline
for the day they planned to receive the inheritance. Whenever she gave a time for when the group went to the airport,
she would conveniently change that time entirely, just a few minutes later. But one detail would stay the same. Unlike
her original claims to officers on the day of the murder, she would insist that Steve had never gone to the airport, but
rather Wes had gone instead to represent Steve. This was confusing, but AA's reason as to why Steve couldn't make it
to the airport would make just as little sense. cuz he was drinking beer all day.
He was working in the garage. He was spray painting his truck, you know, with the doors and the and the windows
closed, barely drinking any water. So, he he consumed almost a case of beer and Oh, he drink more than that.
Pay attention to here. She's carefully crafting a story to deflect suspicion, but the detectives came prepared.
I've seen him drink a couple cases, but on that day, yeah, it was a case beer. from probably 6:00 or 7:00 in the
morning until 2:00 in the afternoon. So 5 to 6 hours. Does that sound right? Probably. Okay. Do you drink anything
else? Uh just a glass of water and his tea. I made iced tea cuz he begged for iced
tea. Steve had no traces of alcohol in his system the day of his death proven by a
blood test and toxicology. So detectives know clearly AA is lying through her teeth.
So I just have a lot of concerns here. Okay. And I'm just going to be honest with you. You told the paramedics when
they were there that morning or afternoon that he had been drinking till 5 in the morning. That he had been cons
consuming alcohol. That's on body cam. Okay. You said he was drinking all day the day before and that he drank his
last drink at 5:00 a.m. Okay. And now you're telling me that's not what you say on this video. Okay.
I want to see this video. Okay. Well, I I'm not going to show you the body cam. I'm just telling you that
that's what's on there. There's reports that Wes came to the house that morning and you said that Steve was at the
walking clinic. He wasn't at the clinic. Steve didn't want to see Wes anymore. Okay. But Steve wasn't at the walk-in
clinic. He was at the hospital. He wasn't at the hospital. He just left with the ambulance when Wes
showed up there. That's not what's been reported to us. Wes was there prior to Yeah. The time stamps prove that. Hello,
lawyer. Okay, that's fine. Realizing she's running out of options to defend herself and with the
detectives closing in, resorts to something surprisingly clever as a lastditch effort, asking for a lawyer.
Um, am I being arrested? Nope, you're not being arrested. We're just talking. So, but if you want if you
want a lawyer, we can stop talking right now. That's fine. Um, but I'm telling you the god honest
truth. Okay. I don't know what happened. I wasn't there. I WISH I WAS THERE. I WISH I WAS
WITH HIM EVERY [laughter] SECOND OF THE DAY THAT DAY. I WISH I WATCHED EVERY SINGLE BUT I'M NOT HIS GODDAMN MOM.
You asked for a lawyer, Anna, so we're just going to end this now. Okay, I'm not going to talk anymore. All right.
YOU GUYS ARE SO UNBELIEVABLE. [ __ ] The second AA realized the detectives saw right through her story, she folded
under the pressure and insisted on a lawyer. Aa had finally realized her game was over. Following this interrogation,
Ana would [music] roam free while detectives scrambled for concrete evidence that she had poisoned Steve.
Ana would continue fighting for her innocence, making more deranged theories such as Steve drinking the antifreeze
out of shame that the lawyer was a fraud or that she had too been poisoned just months prior. Unfortunately for her,
police managed to file a search warrant on apartment 912A, [music] finding multiple alarming items. An old
Windex bottle without a cap containing a bright green liquid suspected to be antifreeze as well as a Kors Light
bottle containing antifreeze [music] found in the garage Steve had been working in that morning. This exact
Coors Light bottle was what used to poison [music] Steve with. Antifreeze contains ethylene glycol, an ingredient
[music] that makes the liquid taste sweet. By mixing this with tea, Steve was fully unable to tell this fatal
substance apart from his typical morning tea. Additionally, by hiding the liquids
in the dark corors light bottle, Steve was unable to see the bright green color of this drink. With all of this
newfound, completely incriminating evidence, as well as the numerous lies and false claims had told law
enforcement, she would finally be arrested on October 30th, 2024. Oh my god. I know.
Please lock up my house. Yeah, we'll lock up the house for you. I'll give you the key.
We'll lock it up. We'll lock a house up for you. [music] Why me? So, right. We let you smoke a cigarette. You're
going to be decent. I'm decent. I never dealt with you. So, just been arrested before like this.
