Henry David Cossette was given a $1,200,000 bond for his alleged part in the murder of Sara Goodwin , who was reported missing in early February.A 29-year-old man was sentenced to 45 years in prison for strangling and dismembering an 18-year-old Spring woman, then hiding her remains.Last week, Henry David Cossette was convicted during a two-day bench trial in the murder of Sara Goodwin , who was killed on Feb. 6, 2022.
Cossette met Goodwin on what's known as the Bissonnet Track in southwest Houston, an infamous area for prostitution and human trafficking.After he killed her, Cossette went to the grocery store and bought trash bags. He returned home and dismembered Goodwin's body in the bathtub, putting her remains in the bags.On the night Goodwin was killed, she told a friend she was getting picked up, and had that friend monitor her phone's location.
Goodwin's friend called police and filed a missing persons report after she disappeared, giving her last-known location. Two weeks later, he set a charcoal fire in his apartment, telling emergency responders when they arrived on scene that he was trying to kill himself because he murdered a woman. He also revealed where he dumped the bags with Goodwin's remains, which were then recovered."He tried to burn down his apartment in order to kill himself, and then police and HFD got called out and he told them all he felt guilty about what he did," Assistant District Attorney Helen Le said.
"A big part of this crime is that he looks and behaves like a normal person that you might see every day," Dana Nazarova, who prosecuted the case with Le, said. "But you never know what someone can actually do behind closed doors.""This young lady had her whole life ahead of her and did not deserve to lose her life," Nazarova said.
