Keith Hall admitted to killing his wife to an undercover police officer but why was he allowed to walk free? A new Amazon Prime documentary looks to answer what really happened to Patricia Hall.
Fun, outgoing and vivacious, the 39-year-old was a familiar, friendly face to locals. As an, Pat would regularly go from door to door, enticing her friends to buy make up and perfumes from her. She possessed that rare gift of instant likability, bolstered by her genuine warmth as she asked how someone was feeling, and whether theIt was a job that suited her personality, her younger sister, Christine Weatherhead, tells Metro.co.uk.
‘It was really out of character for her to just disappear,’ Christine says. ‘If she felt like she needed to get away, she would have come over to mine. I was always her first port of call.’ He also acknowledges that there had been a disagreement between them on the night Pat went missing. After the pair rowed, Keith decided to sleep downstairs on the sofa. He woke up feeling cold, and went to join her in bed.
The West Yorkshire Police knew the pressure was on, as it became clear that this could be more than a missing person inquiry, and more resources were put on the case to try and recover Pat’s body. ‘There was one evening where me and one of my brothers went to see him and I put it to him that he may have strangled her,’ she says. ‘And he totally stared me out and said: “Well, that’s your opinion.”
Keith has repeatedly insisted his confession was lies to try and reassure his girlfriend that his wife would never come home ‘I wanted the company of a female,’ he explains in the documentary. ‘I fall in love quite easy. You take my relationship with Patricia. It took us less than a year to get married.’
While these ‘dates’ were ongoing, the police sowed stories into the news as a constant reminder to Keith that they were still searching for his wife’s body. It was to serve as a prompt, in the hope that he would then keep speaking to Liz about Pat’s disappearance. Calling him from a phone box, Liz explains she didn’t feel she could continue the relationship anymore, as she didn’t want Pat to come back and see Keith had another woman in his life.He responded that he needed to meet her in person, and a day later, Keith got in her car and they started talking – Liz’s hidden microphone captured the conversation.
