daughter of Ray and Floria Roach
sister to Cathy Roach Bertuola, aunt to Michael
Trisha married Terry Paraszczuk Aug 26, 1978 when she was 23. Together they bought an old red brick two and a half story house on Montclair Ave. with an unfinished basement.
Terry work as a customs agent and Trisha continued her job as a nurse in the neurology department at Hamilton General Hospital. Trisha was highly respected at work and much loved by her co workers and bosses. Trisha's only sibling Cathy was also a nurse, they were 11 months apart.
Trisha and Terry's short married life was stormy and grew more volatile. In 1981 they separated and put their house up for sale. Trisha agreed to stay in the house until it sold. Toward the end of 1981 Trisha began dating Mauro Lacoboni. He played drums in a small band with his cousins and worked the evening shift at American Can. Terry had moved on also, living with a woman he met on his job.
Trisha regularly attended St John the Baptist Catholic Church and met regularly with her priest. She was considering having her marriage to Terry annulled. Trisha wanted to start over, get married again and start a family.
The house sold and she met with Terry Feb 25 to finalize the sale, the meeting was amicable. A week later, Wed Mar 3rd, Trisha looked at apartments with her mom and sister. Later that night Mauro called her from work during his lunch break and they chatted for almost half an hour, she told him she had moved some boxes to the basement, getting ready for the move. Mauro was crazy about Trisha. She was so sweet and pretty, with beautiful long blonde hair, very mature and independent. She kept her house immaculate. He enjoyed spending time with her family and regularly watched hockey games with her dad. He felt his relationship with Trisha deepening.
A little past midnight firefighters put out a house fire on Montclair Ave with a dead body in the basement. A woman's body fully clothed with a ligature around her neck. The house was Trisha's and the body was Trisha. The cause of death was strangulation by ligature hanging, at first ruled a suicide but with further examination the death was ruled a homicide when bruising was found around the facial area. Trisha was not found hanging from a rafter. The ligature had broken and one severed end was still tied to a hoist only about 3 feet off the ground and if it was a suicide how would she have started the fire. Trisha just 98 lbs was punched in the face by her attacker, knocked unconscious or unable to defend herself, dragged to the basement, strangled, the scene made to look like a suicide. The killer then set fire to the house to cover his tracks. The fire started in the basement and spread up to the first and second floors. Because of the fire and then the enormous amount of water used to put out the fire, much of the evidence was either burned or washed away.
That was 29 years ago and the killer has never been caught, the case still remains unsolved.
Her family has never recovered from missing Trisha and living in a dark hole with no answers or justice. Trisha had been ripped from their lives on purpose and no one held accountable for the violent, tragic end to Trisha's life.
