From there, Torilena went to Morehead State University, where she met Brandon Shankle in an English class.
He said he remembered his friend as a fitness enthusiast, outgoing, fun and friendly.
“Nothing really bothered her,” Shankle said. ‘She was very outgoing, energetic, tough and fun.
‘I wouldn’t say we were best friends forever, but you know, we were close enough that when I heard this news, I was stunned. You know, that’s not the person I knew,” he said.
Shankle told Fox 56 that Fields was studying criminology, but didn’t spot any “red flags” while they were classmates.
“It’s just one of those things that comes out of nowhere and surprises you,” he said of the alleged killing of the grizzly bear.

It was there that she started calling herself Naomi Navarre, presenting herself as an influencer with 154,000 followers on her Instagram account dedicated to modeling, acting, art, fitness and nutrition.
Those photos, however, were not of the girl Shankle remembered, she said, describing the photos showing Torilena sporting what appears to be a red wing with bangs as “dark.”
“I know the character she was presenting, and I guess it’s like an alternate identity she had,” he said.
“You know, when I look at that profile of hers on social media, I think, ‘That’s not the Tori I knew in college.’
However, Navarra apparently had some success in Hollywood.
IMDB says she is known for her roles in the 2019 films The Desert Project and A Dance Story.
“She was an actress and doing her thing, and I guess a couple of months ago we were told she was in a serious motorcycle accident and suffered a brain injury,” her cousin Olivia said.
‘And (she) was, I guess, wandering around Cali. I didn’t know his name. I didn’t know where I belonged.
“I guess people were trying to get her help there and they couldn’t make it, so that’s when Trudy stepped in to help.”
Shankle also noted that Navarre has not been active on her Instagram since 2022, suggesting she might have been facing difficult times.
Then Torilena returned home in August, which was a surprise to the family, they said.

When she finally emerged from hiding, she was covered in blood, they said.
An extensive search of the property revealed a bloody mattress containing “multiple body parts and organs.”
Investigators also discovered a pot in the oven containing what appeared to be cooked human body parts. The pot was still hot to the touch.
Family members remembered Trudy Fields as a pious Christian woman who maintained the highest moral standards for herself and others.
The Brock family is now struggling to come to terms with what happened.
“How do you say, ‘I’m so sad and I want justice for a member of my family?’ But I’m also sad because my other family member is not well?” Olivia said.
She and other family members have described Trudy as a loving and selfless woman who always put her family’s needs first.
Her sister, Diana Brock, said she was a pious Christian woman who maintained the highest moral standards for herself and those around her.
“She was a hard worker: talk on the phone, something is happening, I don’t care if you lost a tooth and yes, nothing is too small,” Diana told to WCPO.
He also said the family “never stopped loving” Torilena. ‘No matter what happens, you know?
‘We don’t understand… we don’t disown people, no matter what you’ve done. We love and that’s what God says.
“You know, you love no matter what, unconditionally, and we just support the family and that’s what we’re trying to do.”
The family says they plan to attend Torilena’s court appearances to remember Trudy and seek answers about how they can best support their niece and cousin.
She is charged with obstruction, tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse. On Monday, a grand jury added murder and animal torture charges after she allegedly tortured and killed a dog.
Torilena’s bond has since been set at $1.5 million and he remains in custody at the Bourbon County Detention Center.
