According to an arrest affidavit, Sina allegedly withheld information regarding the Butterfields’ death from police, disposed of evidence and aided her husband in fleeing.The Butterfields were fatally shot in their home early Saturday morning as their three children, ages 4 and under, slept upstairs. Police responded to reports of a shooting when a neighbor called 911 around 1:15 a.m. to report the sound of gunshots and a woman screaming.
Police believe Johnson forced his way into the home carrying a gun before the couple attempted to defend themselves with a knife. Holt revealed that upon arrival, officers found Katherine’s body inside the front door while Tony’s body was in the backyard.
