Patrice worked as a nurse and was married to Keith Harrington who was a medical student. Patti and Keith married in only months after they met. They had not known each other even a year. Patti was 4 years older than Keith but they were very much in love. They resided in Keith's father's house in the area whilst Keith finished his studies. Patti and Keith were bludgeoned to death with an unknown murder weapon. Both had had their hands bound behind their back with brown macramé cord.

Roger Harrington (Keith's father) had been invited over for dinner by his daughter-in-law, Patti, on August 21, 1980. Roger found their front door to be unlocked when he arrived, so he entered the property and found Patti and Keith's bodies. The case remained unsolved for decades. On April 24, 2018 Joseph DeAngelo was arrested for several crimes, including the murder of Patti Harrington. In August 2020, DeAngelo was sentenced to 12 life sentences plus 8 years without the possibility of parole. He is incarcerated in protective custody at California State Prison, Corcoran.
