Once the couple was apprehended in late July 2008, the day after they went missing, Patty attempted to place the entire blame on her partner, Jaime, going as far as to allege he’d kidnapped her. He’ll tell you he’s coming here, but he’ll kill me first.” With that said, it was actually Patty who planned to kill Jaime, too, as evidenced by the three shots she fired at him, until Jaime managed to get her to stop so they could go on the lam together. “I don’t think I’ll be alive for long,” Patty stated in a police interview, “I’m telling you he’ll come for me.
However, as passing time led the authorities to zero in on Patty and Jaime, she not only claimed they’d broken up days before the incident partly due to Ron’s knowledge of the affair but also alleged that she was afraid of Jaime. Thus, she concocted a careful plan, told her boyfriend her husband was sexually as well as physically abusive, and later got him to commit the crime. After all, Patty was the beneficiary of his $150,000 life insurance policy that would double if he died in an accident. Regardless, this aspect didn’t stop their romance, and she soon began envisioning life without Ron. The 47-year-old California Conservation Corps worker Patty had actually found herself getting involved with her 21-year-old trainee Jaime Ramos, who was younger than every one of her kids. They’d caught her “straying” once before and knew she was likely going down the route again owing to the efforts she placed into her appearance, yet they had no idea it would take a dark turn. Ron’s daughters, in particular, didn’t like their stepmother as they believed her to be a liar and a “fake” that took advantage of their father and then cheated on him, as per an early-2010s ‘Dateline’ episode. While it’s unclear when and where Patricia “Patty” Ann first came across Ron Presba, we do know they’d eloped without a word to even their closest family, which caused a bit of strain.
