Dr. Amie Harwick was murdered by her long-term stalker on Valentine's Day

Skip the intro: (3:19)

Dr. Amie Harwick was an established marriage, family and sexuality specialist.   She worked in Los Angeles and was highly respected in her field.

In 2009, Amie began dating a man named Gareth Pursehouse. After 18 months, things turned sour and they broke up.  Except, Gareth could not accept the change. He was violent towards Amie and stalked her, forcing her to take out multiple protective orders.

Amie managed to distance herself from Gareth over the following years.  In January 2020, the two had a chance meeting at a public event that Amie was attending and Gareth was working at.  This meeting caused Gareth to fly into a rage which terrified Amie.

On Valentine’s Day 2020,  Amie attended a burlesque show with her friends. Gareth waited until she left and he broke into her home.  He lay in her bed and waited for. When Amie arrived home, she was brutally attacked by Gareth and he threw her off a balcony, leaving her to die.

Gareth would go to trial for Amie’s murder and he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

There have also been some big updates in the ‘suicide’ of Ellen Greenberg.  The medical examiner who originally titled Ellen’s death a suicide has now backtracked.  "It is my professional opinion Ellen's manner of death should be designated as something other than suicide," Dr Marlon Osbourne said.
