[@touringthecitywalking9209]

This chilling true murder story is a stark reminder of the darkness that can lurk behind seemingly friendly faces. Patricia Goodband's trust in her business partner and friend, who she welcomed into her home and entrusted with her assets, led to a horrifying betrayal. The greed-driven act of taking her life to gain access to her valuable property and cash is truly disturbing. May this video serve as a cautionary tale about the importance of being cautious in our relationships and safeguarding our well-being. Let's remember Patricia and thank the authorities for doing the best job to catch the cold-blooded killer and let him taste the correct justice.

[@jeangemmel7895]

RIP Patricia, I get the feeling you were hurt by certain people and it made you 'singular' to avoid being hurt any more! I just keep thinking over and over again, do we ever really know anyone, or is it only the 'me' they let us know? I think there were underlying issues between this lady and her daughter as the daughter seemed to be unmoved talking about her dead, murdered dead mother. When your children grow up I don't understand why they don't go home to see their parent/s. Lord please save me from no one caring enough about me as I'm already feeling it as visits get longer and longer in between each one and I don't understand why!

[@stephanielloyd4053]

There are sometimes reasons children are estranged from mothers. My husband hasn't had contact with his mother now for nearly 4 years, she left him when he was 4, she is very materialistic, asked us when I was pregnant with our first sone if we'd thought about an abortion! I could go on, when our son was born my husband realised what she'd walked out on and he couldnt get over it. He says, I just imagine what our boys would be like if you walked out, and it destroys him. Some scars don't heal.

[@swatt2802]

[@Periwinkleblue.]

How terribly heartbreaking. Initially I thought maybe Pat knew she was in the early stages of Alzheimers or brain cancer bc of her mood changes, withdrawal from friends/family and changes to her will and that perhaps she'd asked her friend Chris to help her compassionately end her own life. But clearly Chris was a horrible monster pulling a long con. Thankfully the detectives were diligent in their investigation.

[@brendaeaster8874]

Older women appear to be very vulnerable to these types of crimes. Driven by loneliness, loyalty and other emotions, they find themselves in precarious situations. Communication is imperative, and staying close to family. Pat should have taken in a couple of boarders. Also, do NOT lend anyone money! This old coot was acting like he was 30, carrying on with other women. The domestic violence tweaked their relationship to his favor, so he had control over Pat. Still, intervention and communication is so necessary!!

[@mightymouse1005]

As an older widow. We are much more vulnerable to narcissist as, there aren't enough older men and our kids have their own children, jobs and lives. Most of our friends are dead and we get lonely. The key is....always have a couple friends or close family and communicate honestly with them regularly. Tell those closest to you if someone is spending your money, lives in your house or is controlling. Don't be ashamed or embarrassed. Never EVER let anyone know you have money or insurance they can't get.

[@8888-9]

From personal experiences I would reject Narcissism as Chris' personality disorder. He lived & behaved as a psychopath. His triple secret lives. Shows calculated deceit. His easy manipulations of both the other man and Pat and her daughter. Narcissists seek status and admiration also deceitful and manipulative. Generally not on the same level as psychopaths. These can kill. Narcissists want to destroy your spirit and mind. Pat really had only a small handful of really concerned interested friends. I'm very glad Chris was caught. They usually believe they outsmart everyone

[@lamh5265]

There is an old school who believe that their children should follow their wishes to the "T". Unfortunately those parents do their children a disservice. By the time children become adults, it is difficult to go against what has been drilled for a half century. By the time the parent realizes they need the adult child to help them think, remember and stay in the present, they have no training in how to persuade the adult child to turn and help. I bet right up to the end of the mother's life, she thought she was in control of he life, but was having memory issues. She didn't realize that she was trapped until late when she realized Chris wanted everything back and she was battling him alone. She locked everyone out because of privacy. Chris knew this because he set her up. He probably chose her because she was a loner. Morale of the story, get a lawyer, get a wittness to your will. People like Chris, who appear close and supportive, and sometimes adult fammembers too, should, NEVER, know what are in the contents of a will, unless it is a "death bed" revelation. Even then, tell nobody what is in a will. Keep family close and the lawyer closer. Family, insist that parents open their home often.

Many people think she is smiling. She isnt doing it on purpose. Dentures or a deformation ( like a tic ) can cuase this. Some people cope with tics this way. I feel sorry for the daughter becauae the mother is strong and sisnt want her daughter around. Ive observed 90 years old women push their chidlren away because they still want to be independent. You can see the children hurt faces and eyes when parents cut them with words. They draw away when it becomes more intense. Goes both ways. Some peopel are lost causes and they dont want you around them.

Imagine a world where the concept of money had never been invented.

That is terrible. Under English law you cannot profit from your own wrong so I hope that means her will in his favour and any interest she had given him in the 600k house is voided and her daughter gets the 600k house and 200k savings, after the UK tax office takes its massive chunk of 40% inheritance tax on all of it over £325k (based on the date of death). I do not agree with people's comments against the daughter below. All families are different. When my father died his local carers could not understand our parents wanted us to move away for our studies and lives because they were local women who never moved away from parents. In some families it is perfectly normal to be more apart and yet love each other.
