NEW YORK — Police say a Queens woman used E-mail to attract her stepfather to her apartment where she handcuffed him, strangled him and mutilated him. Police said Brigitte Harris, 26, cut off the penis of Eric Goodridge, 55, who was formerly married to her mother. "He wrecked my life," read one note found near her stepfather’s body Saturday. "At first, I blamed myself. Now I know it’s not my fault," another said. Police recovered a bloody knife and caught up with Harris after she checked herself into a mental hospital and ranted incoherently about the slaying. Goodridge, an emigrant from the West African nation of Liberia, had arrests for reckless endangerment in 1978 and menacing in 1982. Harris was born in 1981. Police said Harris sent e-mails to Goodridge to lure him to her apartment. Then she handcuffed him to a chair, gagged him with duct tape and throttled him until he died, authorities said.
