Seattle, WA – Back in ’97, Patricia Crowl went batshit crazy when she found out her boyfriend was seeing someone else. Instead of taking her aggression out on her cheating boyfriend, Patricia attacked the other woman, bludgeoning her with a wrench before choking her to death. The woman, Shawn Beatrice Wallace, was six-weeks pregnant at the time. Patricia served a 9 year sentence on a second-degree murder conviction and was released from prison in ’06. Fast forward to November 13 – Patricia is feeling all jealous and moody again. She found out that her boyfriend had texted his ex-girlfriend on her cell phone. Ut-oh! On November 12, the other woman received a text from what she thought was her ex-boyfriend. She agreed to meet him in a parking lot – but, when she showed up at the designated meeting spot, she was confronted by Patricia instead. Patricia allegedly tried to force the woman’s car door open, but the woman drove away. For some reason, the other woman felt comfortable enough to set up yet another meeting with her ex-boyfriend – this time, she wouldn’t get away unscathed.
She got another text on November 13 – again, she thought it was her ex. She agreed to meet him in a vacant parking garage. Oy vey. When she got to the parking garage, she received another text from the ex explaining that his dog was loose and that he was trying to retrieve the animal. She exited her car to look for him. When she couldn’t find him, she returned to her car only to be confronted by the nutjob that is Patricia Crowl. And old Patty was feelin’ mighty stabby. She stabbed the woman at least 18 times, puncturing a lung, and left her to die on the garage floor. Luckily, Patricia’s last victim survived the ordeal.
Later that day, Patricia, 50, called her boyfriend and told him that she needed to turn herself in, she had “done something terrible.” She was arrested after seeking medical treatment for her own knife wounds. Bail has been set at $3 million. Hey guys, how ’bout you just toss the key away this time, huh?
