A person claiming to be her friend took to social media on Wednesday asking for help after the Leongatha home was allegedly robbed.
"Need some help from the community," the post read. "We have had a friend's house broken into in Leongatha 3 times over the last month or so [sic]."
The post claimed several items had been stolen including a car, televisions and vacuum cleaners.
It included several images of a person on what appeared to be the deck of Patterson's home wearing a cap and cloth over their face.
On Thursday afternoon, Victoria Police confirmed officers expected to charge a woman and a man over an alleged burglary in Leongatha on Christmas Eve.
A red car was allegedly stolen during the burglary, a spokesperson said.
A woman, 23, and a man, 18, from Melbourne suburb of Cheltenham were arrested in the allegedly stolen car at 1am on Thursday.
Both are expected to be charged on summons to appear at a later date.
Police allege Ms Patterson killed her former in-laws Don and Gail Patterson, both 70, and Gail's sister Heather Wilkinson, 66.
