Editing David Harker (section)

== Aftermath ==
Patterson's daughter, Sophie who was seven at the time, was told her mother died of cancer, however her foster mother told her not to turn on the news, but she did finding out about her mothers true cause of death. Patterson's boyfriend, Alan Taylor, did not take Patterson's death very well and would talk to anyone who would listen, even the media. In 1999, a man by the name of John Morrison was found strangled in his home. Alan Taylor was arrested on suspicion of the murder and confessed that he wanted to commit a crime on the same level as Patterson's murder so he could get put in the same jail as Harker. The plan failed and Taylor was sentenced to life in prison. Taylor commited suicide three months into his sentence. Freddy Newman, Patterson's ex partner wrote to Harker to try and find the rest of Patterson's body, which was never found. Harker taunted Newman and left a riddle to the whereabouts of Patterson's limbs and head. Newman commited suicide eight years later and it is believed it was partially caused by Patterson's death.
