Brown feared that he might be implicated in Larner’s disappearance, so he decided to cooperate with police.

According to Billy Brown, Larner refused to participate in a sexual threesome, so Kehoe strangled her, placed her in the shower, dismembered her body, burned the pieces in the backyard, and scattered the ashes on a highway. Police compared a tiny speck of blood found at Kehoe's grandparents' home to a sample of blood taken from Larner six years earlier, and it matched.
