There has been a gradual shift towards true crime programming not only on television but also on over-the-top (OTT) platforms, and the next episode of Sheila LaBarre on First Blood is sure to attract a larger audience.
First Blood is a documentary film directed by David Bispham that examines the early stages of serial killers’ criminal careers. It explores her reasons for such despicable behavior while also addressing the pivotal times in her life that led her down such a path.
Sheila LaBarre is the subject of the episode of the series airing this week; Below is all the information readers need about her.
Sheila LaBarre has had multiple marriages
Sheila LaBarre was born in Alabama in 1958 and attended Fort Payne High School until graduating in 1976. After a series of disastrous marriages and a failed attempt to end her own life in the early 1980s, she checked herself into a mental health facility for treatment. Her husband, Ronnie Jennings, claimed that because of her mood swings, she was frequently violent because she feared it would lead to crimes in the future.
In 1987, she uprooted her life and moved to Epping, New Hampshire, where she began living with Wilfred “Bill” LaBarre, a local chiropractor. Sheila LaBarre married him, acquired his surname, and stayed with him until his death in 2000. She later claimed that she was her husband’s mate, which allowed her to inherit his entire inheritance.
When she was young, she had an accident that left her in a coma, and she claimed that after her death, she sat at a table with a number of men, all of whom had long beards. She insisted that one of the boys was God and that he told her that her task here on earth was not over. She said he told her that. She has reportedly returned to her life with orders to kill pedophiles and perverts like the guys who abused her as a child.
What has she done and where is she now?
Sheila LaBarre welcomed Kenny Countie to her farm after the two met through an online personals ad. He moved in with her shortly thereafter and was last seen alive in March. This happened not long after she pushed him around in a wheelchair at her side at a Walmart, resulting in lacerations on his hands and face. The youths had been sexually assaulted by Countie, according to testimony presented in court, and LaBarre had made the same confession.
After being labeled a serial killer in 2006, she pleaded guilty to the murders of Michael Deloge and Kenny Countie, for which she was also found guilty and sentenced to prison. In the course of their investigation, authorities searched her property and found three human toes near the farm; However, these toes did not belong to any of their victims. There were rumors that she could be responsible for the death of Bill LaBarre, which she firmly refutes.
During the three-week search that police conducted at LaBarre’s farm, a burned mattress, human bones and blood spatter were found. Police also found blood spatters in numerous places in the house. She confessed to stabbing Countie before burning his body, and she also confessed to doing the same to Deloge; However, the cause of Deloge’s death is still a mystery.
In 2008, LaBarre was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. She is currently incarcerated at the New Hampshire Correctional Facility for Women in Concord, New Hampshire.
