Patty Schultz is a character portrayed by Stephanie Faracy in the ABC crime series Castle. Patty Schultz is a warm-hearted lady, with an unfortunate history of psychiatric disorders. She was also the woman who, a year before "Fool Me Once…", gave Steven Fletcher her life savings. So she killed him with a belt sander - at least, in the privacy of her own mind she did. The money had been for the cryogenics process, in which the then Steven Miller was an expert, which would have allowed Patty and her beloved cats to be resurrected "once science had conquered the death barrier."
