Case Identification

[Stack>Farina]

Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could help me remember a case.

I dont remember the names which is why I am asking, and i can only recall a few details.

This women is looking for a roommate or something, a european woman( British maybe?) answers the ad in the paper. The women turns up dead, and the roommate turns up at the airport dressed up like the dead woman and tries to flee the country

I know they found the woman later and she committed suicide on the spot, but does anyone remember the case?

sorry If i am being vague.

Hello! The murdered woman's name was Beverly McGowan. The murderer was Elaine Parent. Here is an article about the crime:

the reenactment always freaked me out, more so the part when she dressed up as her victim.

That was the one where the woman was into tarot cards and fortune telling.
