He Came for the Flowers: How a Grief Visitor Stole Her Life · Narcisist Psychology

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: On the morning of October tenth, two thousand seventeen, a
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: surveyor named Terry Boyd was walking a vacant parcel behind
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Fenwick Road when he found a pair of tortoise shell
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: reading glasses lying open in the grass, lens up impossibly clean.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: They belonged to a woman whose obituary had already run
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: in the local paper, a woman who, according to that obituary,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: had been dead for more than two weeks. The glasses
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: should not have been there, neither should the obituary, because
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: when investigators later pulled the records, there was no death
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: certificate on file for any date in September of two
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: thousand seventeen. That single contradiction, a clean pair of glasses
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: in an empty field, a death announced before it was documented,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: became the crack that split the case open. What investigators
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: found inside changed how they understood everything that had happened
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: over the preceding two years. Not a sudden tragedy, a slow,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: methodical dismantling of one woman's entire world. Constant Sawyer every
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: one called her. Connie was fifty two years old in
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the spring of two thousand fifteen, when her husband Paul
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: died of a cardiac event, sudden and without warning. They
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: had lived for years on Calloway Street in Delworth, a
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: small city in Harwick County. Paul's death was the kind
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: that leaves no time to prepare. One morning, he was there,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: by afternoon he was not. Connie had worked for decades
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: as an insurance claims processor, methodical, detail oriented, the kind
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: of person who kept records and returned calls the same
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: day she received them. She had recently retired the plan
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: hers and Paul's had been more time at home a garden.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: After Paul died, Connie bought a ranch style house on
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Fenwick Road. She started preparing the soil. Her daughter, Melissa,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: lived in Portland, Oregon. They spoke every Thursday, not most Thursdays,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: every Thursday, without exception. Melissa would later tell investigators that
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: she could not recall a single week in recent memory
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: when her mother had missed that call. Not for illness,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: not for travel, not for anything. Connie's closest friend was
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Janet Pugh, who had known her for years and remained
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: one of the fixed points of her daily life. And
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: then there was the food shelf. Every Wednesday morning for
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: seven years, Connie Sawyer showed up to volunteer at the
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Dalworth Food Shelf. Dug Fitch, the coordinator, would later describe
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: her attendant's record as perfect, not nearly perfect, perfect seven years,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: zero absences. She sordied donations, she knew the regulars by name.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: She stayed until the work was done. It was the
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: kind of consistency that goes unnoticed until it stops. That
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: is the woman Gordon Hayes found in a death notice.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Approximately six weeks after Paul Sawyer died, a man appeared
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: at Connie's door on Calloway Street. He wore a lanyard
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: from an organization called Millbridge Comfort Care and he carried
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a sympathy card. He introduced himself as a grief support facilitator.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: He said he was there to help. What Connie did
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: not know. What she had no reason to suspect, was
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that Paul had never been a Millbridge patient. The organization
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: had no record of the Sawyer family and had not
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: sent anyone to that address. Hayes held a certificate from
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: an online grief facilitation program. He was contracted part time
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: with Millbridge for intake and referrals only. He had no
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: clinical license. He had no authority to conduct outreach of
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: any kind, cold or otherwise. The director of Millbridge Comfort Care,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Anne Quill, would later confirm that the organization was entirely
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: unaware of his visits. Hayes had found Connie's name and
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: address in the death notice Paul's family had published in
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the Delworth Food He stood at her door six weeks
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: after the worst loss of her life and told her
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: he was there to help, and Connie, who was grieving
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and alone and trying to build something new on Fenwick Road,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: let him in. What happened in the months that followed
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: did not look like danger. It looked from the outside
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: like recovery. But underneath that surface, something was being taken apart,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: piece by piece, in exactly the order you would need
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to dismantle it if you never wanted anyone to notice
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: until it was too late. Three months after that first visit,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Hayes was driving Connie to her appointments. Six months after that,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Connie introduced him to Janet Pugh. A year after he
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: appeared at her door, he had moved into the Fenwick
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Road house, and Connie had not yet told Melissa that
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: sequence matters not because of its pace, but because of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: its direction. Every step moved Hayes closer to the center
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: of Connie's life, and every step moved everyone else. Melissa
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Janet Doug Fitch at the food shelf one degree further
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: from the inside. By autumn of two thy sixteen, Hayes
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: had been added to Connie's joint savings account. By June
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of twenty seventeen, he had made three withdrawals from that account,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: totaling more than forty one thousand dollars. The withdrawals were
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: made by Hayes alone. In the same month, Connie's mail
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: was redirected bank statements, insurance documents, property tax notices to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: a post office box in Marfield registered in Hayes's name,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: not Connie's name. Is The cutting garden she had planned
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: was still there, the food shelf schedules still had her
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: name on it, but the financial architecture of her life
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: was quietly being routed somewhere else, and the paper trail
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: that would have shown it was arriving at a box
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: she could not access. That is the first loop hold it.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: The second loop opens. On a Wednesday morning, September twentieth,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, Doug Fitch arrived at the Delworth Food Shelf
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and waited. Connie Sawyer did not come. No call, no message.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: He checked the roster seven years, zero absences and assumed
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: something minor had come up. He tried her number, no answer.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: He tried again later, still nothing. Her car was in
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the driveway on Fenwick Road. Her phone was not ringing.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Through the morning before September nineteenth, neighbor Pat Greer had
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: seen Connie outside blue Cardigan tortoisesell reading glasses, the ones
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: with the chip in the left lens. Greer described her
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: as tired, but otherwise herself. She was working in the garden.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: That was the last confirmed sighting. Any one who knew
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: her would report. That night, at eleven forty seven in
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the evening, a cell tower near Fenwick Road registered a
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: ping from Gordon Hayes's phone. Hayes would later tell investigators
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: he had been at Carl Briggs's apartment in Marfield that night.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Marfield is not near Fenwick Road, the two locations do
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: not overlap. Carl Briggs initially supported Hayes's account, he recanted
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: after investigators confronted him with the cell data. So the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: alibi for the night Connie was last seen alive did
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: not hold and Hayes had documentation showing he was elsewhere.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: The following day signed in at three Millbridge intake locations
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: across a ninety mile route, with witnesses at each stop.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: The alibi for September twentieth was solid. The alibi for
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: September nineteenth was not. Keep both of those in mind,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: they are not the same problem. September twenty second, an
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: obituary was written, listing Connie Sawyer's death as peace five
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: short illness. It was submitted to the Delworth Food on
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: September twenty eighth, sent from a Millbridge, a count by
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Gordon Hayes. He listed himself as next of kin, as
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: surviving partner. No death certificate was filed in September, not
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: on the twenty second, not on any date in September.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: A death certificate is a legal document, an obituary is not.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: One requires a body, a medical examiner, a signature chain.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: The other requires only someone willing to file it. October third,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the obituary ran in the Food October fourth, Melissa Sawyer
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: in Portland, Oregon read it. That was how she learned
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: her mother was dead. Hayes told her Connie had gone quickly.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: He told her he hadn't wanted to burden her. There
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: is a detail that sits outside the timeline and refuses
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to fit anywhere comfortable. A October tenth, twenty seventeen, a
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: surveyor named Terry Boyd was walking a vacant parcel behind
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the Fenwick Road properties, sixty yards from Connie's rear property line.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: He almost stepped on them before he noticed tored a
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: shell reading glasses, open lens up in a field that
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: had seen rain since September nineteenth, in a field where
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: no one lived and no one had reason to walk.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: They were impossibly clean. The chip in the left lens
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: matched the pair Pat Greer had seen on Connie's face
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the morning of September nineteenth. Those glasses had been sitting
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: in that field for three weeks, three weeks of weather,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and they looked, according to Boyd's statement, as if someone
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: had set them down and walked away, not dropped set down.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: By October tenth, Connie Sawyer had already been dead for
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: three weeks, according to an obituary Gordon Hayes had filed,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: but no death certificate existed, no body had been found,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: and now her glasses were sitting open and clean. In
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: a field sixty yards from her back property line. Sharon
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Larson had been working the case since mid September. Melissa
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: had retained her after Connie stopped returning calls in August,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: before the obituary, before the food shelf absence, before any
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: of it became visible to anyone else. Larsen had twelve
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: years in domestic advocacy. She knew what slow rasure looked
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: like from the outside, and she had brought her findings
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: to Detective Art Delcot before the glasses were found. The
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: glasses moved the case. It is one thing to have
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: a missing woman whose mail has been re routed and
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: whose savings have been drained. It is another to have
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: a missing woman whose obituary exists without a death certificate,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and whose reading glasses have appeared in a field three
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: weeks after she was last seen wearing them. The search
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: for Connie's body began in Earnest. Four days later, on
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: October fourteenth, investigators located her in a drainage culvert behind
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: the Fenwick Road property. The medical examiner's findings were consistent
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: with asphyxiation. The time line placed her death on the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: night of September nineteenth. The night. The cell tower placed
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Hayes's phone at Fenwick Road at eleven forty seven. Picture
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the Fenwick Road house on the night of September nineteenth.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Hayes is there, The cell data puts him there, and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: his alibi witness eventually admitted it. Connie had been in
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the garden that morning. By the following day, she did
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: not answer her phone, did not appear at the food shelf,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: and was never seen again by anyone who knew her.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: One version of events says the night unfolded as a confrontation.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: The financial withdrawals had been made in June, the male
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: redirect was in place. If Connie had discovered what had
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: been done, the account the redirected statements the p O
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: box in Marfield the night of the nineteenth becomes a
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: crisis point. Hayes had built the whole structure on her isolation.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: A single confrontation threatened to collapse it. But that version
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: requires something. It cannot fully prove that Connie knew. There
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: is no record of her contacting the bank, no call
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: to Melissa, no message to Janet Pew indicating she had
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: found out. If she had discovered the withdrawals before that night,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: she left no trace of it that was recovered. The
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: version Hayes offered a trial, He offered no testimony, but
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: his partial confession to investigators carried its shape was different.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: He admitted to the withdrawals, he said they were Connie's wish.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: He admitted to filing the obituary. He said he was
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: overwhelmed with grief, that he had acted precipitously. He suggested
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: that Connie had experienced cognitive decline in her final months.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: That last claim collapsed on contact with the record. Janet Pew,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Doug Fitch, Pat Greer, Melissa. No one who spent time
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: with Connie in twenty seventeen saw any sign of decline.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Her Wednesday attendance was unbroken through September thirteenth. Her last
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: confirmed call with Melissa was a Thursday in early September,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: described as normal. The cognitive decline claim was not supported.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: It was the kind of claim that works only if
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the person who could contradict it is no longer present
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: to do so. There is a third shape to what happened,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: one that recontextualizes the September twentieth alibi. Hayes spent the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: following day signed in at three Millbridge locations across ninety miles.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Witnesses confirmed his presence at each stop. That alibi is solid,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: but an alibi for September twentieth only matters if September
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: twentieth is when investigators believe the crime occurred. The cell
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: tower placed Hayes at Fenwick Road on the night of
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the nineteenth. The medical examiner placed Connie's death on the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: night of the nineteenth. The documented September twentieth alibi was
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: never relevant to the question of what happened to Connie Sawyer.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: It was only relevant to the question of where Hayes was.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: After the jury deliberated for eight hours, Hayes declined to testify.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: The fiber evidence material from his jacket linked to Connie's clothing,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the cell tower data, the recanted alibi, the financial record,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and the glasses in the field were enough. Convicted on
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: all counts, sentenced to life without possibility of parole. Gordon
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Hayes entered prison in the winter of twenty seventeen. The
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: sentence was life without possibility of parole. No appeal has
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: changed that outcome. The conviction rested on five independent pillars.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: The fiber linking his jacket to Kanie's clothing, the cell
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: towered data placing his phone at Fenwick Road eleven minutes
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: before midnight on September nineteenth, Karl Briggs's recanted alibi, three
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: years of financial documentation, and a pair of tortoises shell
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: reading glasses found in a field sixty yards from the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: property line. Any single one of those might have been
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: explained away together, they were not. Hayes never testified. The
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: cases of Francis Hooper and Sandra Ought remain officially closed.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: In two thousand and eight, in Carver, Francis Hooper died
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: after losing her home through what records describe as predatory lending.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: The person who introduced her to that process was never
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: formally identified. A composite sketch drawn from Hooper's sister's description
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: matches Hayes on seven of nine descriptors, according to investigators
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: who later reviewed the file. In twenty eleven, Radick Parish,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Sandra Ought died of causes listed as natural. Hayes was
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: named in a handwritten will that post dated his arrival
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: in her life by approximately four months. No charges were
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: filed in either case. The evidence officially was thin. What
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: that means is that Francis uz Hooper and Sandra Aught
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: have no legal resolution, their families have no conviction to
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: point to. The deaths are listed as natural, and the
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: record does not say otherwise. Millbridge Comfort Care issued a
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: statement after Hayes's arrest confirming that his contract had been
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: for intake and referral work, only that he held no
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: clinical license, and that the organization had no knowledge of
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: his visits to Connie Sawyer or to any other bereaved
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: individual outside his defined scope. The death notice in the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Delworth Food Paul Sawyer's death notice, which Hayes read and
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: used to locate Connie, was a public record. It named
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: an address, It named a widow, It named a grief
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Anne Quill. Milbridge's director said in subsequent interviews that the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: organization immediately audited how contractor identifiers were used and revised
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: its verification protocols. Whether those revivals were sufficient is a
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: question each county in which organizations like Millbridge operate will
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: have to answer for itself. Sharon Larson, the advocate Melissa
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: retained in September of twenty seventeen, has spoken publicly about
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: what she describes as a structural gap bereaved people are
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: among the most statistically vulnerable to financial exploitation, and the
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: systems designed to protect them rarely reached. The weeks immediately
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: after a death notice runs. That gap between the moment
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: of public grief and the moment any formal support structure
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: activates is where Hayes worked. It is not a gap
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: unique to Delworth. Connie Sawyer wanted a cutting garden. That
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: detail comes from the real estate notes on the Fenwick
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Road property and from what Melissa remembered her mother saying
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: the spring after Paul died. She had looked at the
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: south facing lot and talked about Zenia's Dahlia's something she
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: could bring inside in ourmas. She never planted it. By
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the time she moved in, someone else was occupying most
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: of her attention, and then most of her life, and
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: then the account she had built across thirty years of work.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Pat Greer saw her on the morning of September nineteenth,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, in the garden space she never filled. She
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: was wearing the blue cardigan. She had the tortoise shell
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: glasses on the ones with the chip in the left lands.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Pat Greer said she looked tired, but otherwise herself. That
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: is the last confirmed image of Connie Sawyer alive. The
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: glasses turned up three weeks later in a field, open
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: and lens up impossibly clean. Terry Boyd found them while
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: conducting a survey of the adjacent parcel. He almost walked
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: past them. He stopped because something about the way they
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: were placed did not fit the landscape. Objects dropped in
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: fields do not land like that they fall. These had
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: been set down. Melissa Sawyer learned her mother was dead
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: from an abittion ctuary in a local newspaper. The obituary
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: listed Gordon Hayes as next of kin and surviving partner.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: There was no death certificate, There was no phone call,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: there was no conversation she was permitted to be part
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: of while her mother was still alive to have it.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: What Hayes dismantled was not only a financial account or
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: of physical safety. He dismantled the architecture of a life,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: the Wednesday routines, the Thursday calls, the friendships, the daughter's
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: knowledge of her own mother's days. He replaced it, piece
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: by piece with a version he controlled. By the time
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: anyone on the outside could see the shape of what
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: had happened, Connie Sawyer had been gone from the places
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: that knew her for weeks. The cutting garden at Fenwick
