Patricia Joseph, a 52-year-old African American woman, died on January 20, 2004, at a home in Houston, Texas. She was found in the master bedroom closet after an altercation with her partner. Family members said the couple had been arguing about a lack of intimacy; Patricia reportedly suspected he was on steroids or having an affair.

Renard Leon Spivey, a 63-year-old former bailiff on the TV show Christina’s Court, was arrested in connection with her death after giving an account that investigators found inconsistent. He claimed Patricia shot him during an argument. Spivey was later tried for murder but the jury acquitted him in December 2023; the jury did not return a manslaughter verdict either.

The case attracted attention because of Spivey’s public profile and because family members expressed regret about earlier decisions to give him the benefit of the doubt. Does anyone have information about Patricia’s final days or the home where she and Spivey lived?
