On October 14, 2012, a 52-year-old man named Patrick Pidock shot and killed his 39-year-old wife, in Perry County, Pennsylvania. His wife’s name was Suzanne M. Brown. For his crime, Patrick is going to serve 18 years to life in prison. However, the 18 years is not entirely for the murder. 15 years is for murder and the additional 3 years is for the use of a firearm. The incident took place in the couple’s apartment in the 400 block of Lincoln Park Drive.
This terrifying case will be covered in the upcoming episode of Evil Lives Here: The Killer Speaks. The title of the episode is “I Always Knew I Could Kill”.
Furthermore, the “I Always Knew I Could Kill” synopsis reads, “Patrick Pidock knows there’s something dark inside him, and his daughter, Fawn, and those around him suffer from his sudden outbursts; he’s warned that one day he’ll kill someone, but no one knows how dangerous he is until he takes a life.”
The episode will air on Sunday, November 5, 2023, at 8 p.m. ET on ID.
Why did Patrick Pidock kill his wife?
According to Perry Tribune, Patrick Pidock did not provide any reasonable explanation as to why murdered his wife. However, he has anger issues and even has sudden outbursts.
Three months before the incident, Suzanne M. Brown had given birth to a baby boy. She was apparently holding the infant when the bullet hit her. Right before shooting his wife, he even threatened her that he was going to kill the baby.
Right before his sentencing in court, the victim’s sister Babs Proctor told Pidock, “You took my sister and I want to know why. You took my sister and I want to know why.”
Suzanne and Patrick’s baby was unharmed in the incident. The infant, who is currently 10 years old, lives with her aunt.
