OPENING the front door and stepping into the hallway, the police officer wrinkled his nose and recoiled at the putrid stench before surveying the chaotic scene that lay before him. A vase was smashed on the floor, blood smeared across the hallway and down in the basement is where he discovered 74-year-old Guy Goodman's decomposing body. 6 Poor Guy Goodman was enjoying his retirement before he met a grisly end Credit: HayU It was a horrific and cruel end to the poor retired florist's life, whose only crime was to try to help convicted robber Bradley Martin turn his life around.
And the trail of crime and killing didn't end there either - with Martin going on the run with the lover he met working in a sweet factory, before also executing a tour guide and leaving her body in the desert to be eaten by coyotes...
'Why would anyone hurt him?' Before Guy Goodman's death, he'd retired and was finally enjoying a much-deserved quiet life. He was well-known and well-respected in the small town community where he lived, and was an active member of his church who enjoyed helping out with local charities. He had two grown up children, and while he was divorced and lived alone, his neighbours had nothing but kind things to say about him.
Speaking in Hayu's documentary series Killer Couples, Guy’s friend Robert Silverman says: “Everybody liked him. Why would anyone hurt this little old guy? Especially..
. how brutal it was." 'I forgive you!’ screams dying wife to her Army doctor husband.
