- Опубликовано: 30 май 2024
- When 48-year-old Sarah Hartsfield was indicted for murdering her fifth husband in February, stories from across the country about the mother of four’s past started surfacing and unraveling a twisted web. From a murder plot she allegedly concocted to the fatal shooting of a fiancé, KPRC 2 has been uncovering more about Hartsfield every step of the way. Sarah has not been arrested or charged in connection with the death of any person other than Joseph Hartsfield. Sarah is presumed innocent until proven guilty. This investigative documentary comes as Hartsfield is indicted for murder, awaiting trial in Chambers County, and in jail on a $4 million bond.

Do you have any questions for reporter Bryce Newberry about the story? Reply to this comment and we'll work to get you answers.
My question is confusion on the brother’s hanging. How do you accidentally hang yourself and then get found “face down”?
I live in pa. So I was surprised to run into this report. Very well done. The editor should do docs. The reporter was top notch and kept me interested.
@@shanikaclark4804 Agreed 100%, absolutely phenomenal! I hope to see more mini or full documentaries from them in the future
Was his mom/relative a teacher named Mrs Newberry in Austin or Houston?
Yes!!! How did she kill her brother if she was at a different location?
Man, this is scary! My son escaped a woman like this. I was always in fear for him because of her controlling, violent, coercive ways. He had to ask permission to buy undies, socks and even a six pack of beer with his OWN money! He got away! Yes!
Happy to hear he got away
It scares and disturbs me deeply, my mother was like this with her husbands. She truly drove some of the nice men to littery relapsing afer 10 years clean and sober. Im happy for your son to get away i hope hes doing alright it follows you around like PTSD for years.x
If someone is trying to control every aspect of your llfe like this or displays unjustified excessive jealousy get away from them immediately
That psycho had 5 husbands and I can’t even get 1!! 🤯
😅😅😅😅
I feel bad for her son. I don’t see two sides to Sarah, just one: evil.
We may not, but he is her son.
She's a narcissist. Looks like BPD and maybe ASPD definitely evil
Not even. No soul to harbour anything, zero nothing. 😮 Scary thing ever in a human is to be her , in any sex. Man woman, etc. there's a lot of them out there .
@@yukiefromoz2573 Not for all . Blood doesn't always protect you. It can kill you. And your soul and identity.
why dont people just get divorced...kids killing their parents, parents killing their kids, lovers killing each other...crazy times
The trauma she inflicted on her children...my heart breaks for her brave son. I hope he's getting help. She robbed him (and I'm sure her other children) of their childhoods.
Right?! That makes me want to put her under the jail myself.
Reporter Bryce Newberry has done a fantastic job with this story. This is what investigative journalism, or journalism in general, should be.
He has and I believe will follow the case all the way to the trial.
Very true.
I want to see what else Bryce has covered❤❤❤
The adopted mother seems like a lovely, caring person with good intentions…..
And perceptive to Sarah's games.
Her son seems like a really bright and sweet kid. I can’t imagine what he and his siblings have been through. So many victims.
I thought he was pretty, and remarkably cool. Very attractive imo... and that is a sure sign for a bad person.
Beaten so badly that he couldn’t go to school for a week?! A friend had to point out that he was being abused? Wow. She has unbridled rage within her. Jail oughta hone that or stamp it out. We’ll see how she lands in the pen. Probably get thrown in the SHU often, that’s for sure. Inmates don’t appreciate child abusers. Just saying…
@@Weirdkauzhim being "pretty" equates to him being a bad person? What the fack!?
FREE HAT! 😢
Sounds like weird has had some bad relationships with good looking people hahahaha
Omg. I just want to hug her son. That poor boy has been through so much. I'm praying for all of the family and friends who are all victims of this evil woman. 🙏🙏
This is very well done piece. Local news is really showing up most of the network folks. I mean, Keith Morrison is and always will my true crime love, but I have to say, I’m very impressed with this doc. There is a really nice balance of storytelling and straight information. Excellent job! You should be really proud of your work!
Thank you for the kind words, Shellie!
I agree
Yes I agree with you too!!! 😊
Keith Morrison, He’s the best! That voice is so relaxing. He can make turd seem beautiful with his way with words.
But I agree, This is a well put together piece.
I agree. I'm really impressed.
She’s basically a psychopath. Very intelligent, but completely without any remorse for all the havoc she’s caused.
💯
@alizaize Neither sociopath nor psychopath are official diagnoses. They are both used informally to describe a person who meets the criteria for a clinical diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). There is no clinical difference between the terms psychopath and sociopath. And just like you don't need a weatherman to tell you it's raining, you don't need a shrink to tell you this gal has it.
@alizaize There is primary and secondary psychopathy. Sociopathy is an outdated term.
@alizaize yeah I forgot about that one!
That is definition of villain.
When your mama and your son think you did it, you’re guilty af.
She’s probably running the prison she’s in.
Guaranteed she is. She'll instill fear and manipulation on anyone and everywhere she stays.
Her type seem to fare well inside the walls of a penal institution. At the very least, she will be controlling the pod in which she is housed. No doubt, she will dupe many would-be suitors into keeping plenty of money on her books for canteen purchases, via prison pen pal websites.
Lol right, I will wouldn't doubt it.
Wow, for local news, this is IMPRESSIVE! Thank you so much for your hard work and sharing this story. Well done
She’s one of those people that leaves a trail of damage behind them like a tornado. I really feel bad about her children’s experience of her as a mother. ❤
I know a "lady" like this. My son was lucky to have escaped her,
She has the Lori vallow Daybell syndrome
Parasitic lifestyle.
@@dimitrageorgiadi5087I will check this out 🙏
She will be worth watching for similar psychopathy
She's lucky to have such a decent, honest son.
I lived with a mom who was just like this woman. She made my life hell. I survived her attempted murder on my life with forgiveness.
Same. But I didn't forgive and cut all ties to her. The epitome of a narcissist, who had six children with three men, that she never loved or cared for. The mental abuse is far worse than the physical. I'm not sure which is worse; women who kill their children or women who destroy the lives of their children. There is no punishment for the latter, at least not for the perpetrators.
Same and my mother has the same name as this woman!! Thank goodness I haven't spoke to her in a few years. Awful feeling!
Same here mine was a total violent narsassist and I hate her guts. She's an old woman on her own now and wonders why nobody wants to be near her, she thinks she's done nothing wrong. She made our lives a living hell.
How are you now?
Sarah seems to have gotten away with abuse and murder for a long time. Her husbands were not horrible, she was the problem. So sad for her children and the families of her victims. Very sad for her her parents who adopted her. I hope she is held accountable, spends her life in prison where she cannot prey on others.
That poor son 😢 he looks so sweet and timid, to think his mum would beat him is just horrific. Scary woman.
That distant look in his eyes...I feel so bad for him.
This story is WILD!!! Every (good) reporter’s gold mine!! And you sir, did in fact, strike GOLD!! Both with subject matter and production!! As a former reporter, this fills my heart with hope that there are *still* real, bonafide, reporters out there, that put the work in (I can only imagine the hours of filming, location of shoots, the research involved, the hours and hours of *transcribing* 😬, the hours in the editing booth getting every sot, every nat sound, graphics, music just right)- That’s A LOT of words to say I can appreciate the amount of work involved in this doc!
Great Job!!! I hope you entered this, and won, an Emmy for this!! 🏆🏆🏆
YES LISA, EXCEPTIONAL REPORTING BY BRYCE NEWBERRY! VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER, GREAT INFORMATION. SUCH A GREAT NEWS TEAM! I AGREE, EMMY IN THEIR FUTURE
As a former journalist, I agree. I'd say the hardest part was tracking down all those people and convincing them to talk on camera. At a guess, there were probably other people he approached who could not be convinced to take part. Getting the son to talk was a win. Poor kid, he did really well. Wishing him a good life.
A stable, loving household is so important. She was broken within herself. No man could ever make her happy.
My step mom was mentally and emotionally abusive to me when I would go to my dads. The way she treated my step sister and half brother was so different than how I was treated. She would prank call my mom, she would call me names, pull my hair, punish me in unfair ways. For example, I hated peas and always have and still do. My step sister and half brother were allowed to get up from the table even though they did finish their peas but I was made to sit at the table alone and isolated away from the family until I finished mine. Doesn't sound like a big deal now but it's a major deal when you're a young child.
I’m so sorry this horrible woman treated you like that 😘😘
@@headkandywhore thank you 🙏🏻
No it sounds like a very big deal. I had an evil stepmother, but she was equally evil to her own daughters. I hope you are able to move forward in recovery. I am sorry you suffered this abuse.
I hope you’re okay and that life is good for you now 💐
@@sarahalbers5555 thank you 🙏🏻 sorry for your trauma as well !
Her poor son. What a brave young man 😢
The whole thing about "presumed innocent until proven guilty." That's for legal purposes. The court and jurors have to presume her innocent until she is proven guilty. Anyone else can presume her guilty as much as they want. She is GUILTY AF. There will be many more lives in danger if she ever gets out of prison.
100%
Joseph Scott Morgan did a podcast on this case last week on BodyBags. He's a noted forensic death investigator.
@@sharpasatack THE GOOD THING FOR NOW IS THAT THIS EVIL WOMAN IS BEHIND BARS. I'M REAL SURE THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS WILL GET IT RIGHT.
THEN, THE ONLY WAY THIS MONSTER WILL LEAVE PRISON, IS IN A BODY BAG!
In many cases it has become guilty til proven innocent… it’s becoming more that way now with corrupt systems everywhere
@@stephaniebach__12-24 in this case it is obvious the woman thinks nothing of harming othersl
As a mother i did a lot of teaching my kids about toxic relationships, setting healthy boundaries,not to ignore red flags. My 17 year old son has seen enough of his friends go thru bad relationships with gf's. He want nothing to do with dating till hes older.
Good job!👏🏾
Sounds like you're trying to do too much. Being a good person and loving him is enough to keep them safe. You can't prevent them from making mistakes. But also, I fear for the first girl he will let you meet.
@@velcro-is-a-rip-off Every mom who understands red flags should absoluely share their knowledge with their kids. Posters might b a good idea. They are available for domestic violence awareness. And those of us who have a reality that includes painful, abusive behaviors must include this in te package we call "mom's love."
Yeah I unfortunately got a front row seat watching my abusive, narcissistic and suicidal mother growing up. When I was younger she would only abuse my father but once I started hitting puberty I was her new shiny target....regardless of the fact I am her daughter. I think it's great that you have educated your children!! My poor father had no idea of my mother's real personality until after they were married🥺
good job, i wish my mother would have done the same , especially my dad too
Something seriously wrong with her biological family as indicated by her brother's weird death. Something even more seriously wrong with any law enforcement agency that doesn't have the will to reinvestigate that weird death.
"A small child somehow winds up w a leash looped around his neck and hanging from a balcony. Natural causes, cased closed. Permanently."
According to someone from the area, the oldest brother, Hollis Dean, confessed to hanging Charles Roy because he broke his stereo speakers. Hollis has spent more time in prison since his late teens than he has on the outside. He's in now for 6 years for sexual assault of a minor. The state considers him a repeat offender.
I was shocked that it wasn’t investigated more . After all it was ruled “undetermined “ not a natural death . So they could have looked into it much more
Maybe she hung him because he was getting too much attention
@@kareybarey13
The oldest brother admitted to hanging him because he broke one of his stereo speakers. Unreal !
Just goes to show what truly happened and almost everyone was blaming her for hanging him.
Just wow .
Even her own kids don’t like her…That says alot…
Great video, I hope you'll make more of these.
Ryan seems to be a lovely, intelligent, self aware young man and I'm glad he's doing well. 🌷
I thought so too. Such a brave, and articulate young man. I hope he is safe and well.
I really felt for him. He’s a survivor and has been through so much. I hope the next part of his life he can finally start living. ❤🙏🏾❤
If someone sincerely acknowledges they have wronged you, and genuinely asks you for forgiveness, forgive them if you are ready. It’s not a stamp you lick and stick on. It’s a process that may take time. You may have been harmed beyond healing. Some people don’t deserve forgiveness.
Forgiveness is for you, not the other person. We forgive others who hurt us, even if they don’t deserve forgiveness, because keeping feelings of bitterness against another person will only hurt us in the long run. The hatred one holds in their heart for another person doesn’t hurt that person at all. For us though, holding in that bitterness and resentment for someone who hurt us is like a cancer that consumes our sòuI. That’s why Jesus Christ teaches us to forgive others, and also because we must be willing to forgive others if we want Jesus to forgive us for our wrongdoings. If we want God’s mercy and grace, we must be willing to extend mercy and grace towards our fellow humans too.
Isnt that contradictory? Jesus loves only those who forgive (I.e., unless people do something.) Meanwhile, we are to forgive regardless of what the other person feels or does? @Redeemed.of.YHVH.thru.Christ
I don't know whether she learned from Pam Hupp or Pam Hupp learned from her but they seem to be two birds of a feather. I think the ex-husband and the man who was in the military with her, who both think they need to watch their backs if she is ever freed from prison, are 100% correct. I don't think ANYONE is safe from her if they stand in her way. She is absolutely a scary lady and I hope the judge who sets her sentence keeps that in mind. The judge who decreed that Chandler Halderson must NEVER be eligible for parole, totally understood what a great threat Chandler would be to other people if her ever got out of prison so he fixed it so he never can. I hope Sarah's judge has that much wisdom.
That’s exactly who I thought of. When watching this.
I hope so, too--she's smart but Evil.
Very sad that this woman did not appreciate all the good things that came into her life beginning with a loving family who adopted her. To go on and murder her husbands is just evil!!
She is incapable of appreciating anything good.
this chick is a creep what a blame spreader killer mean spirited bloated self inflated hag her kids I pray they have freedom in life and in there minds
I get your point. But the murderers are between us- adopted or not. There is evil in people and orphans are not all angelic, nor are blood children all angelic. There are just bad people. No matter their childhood.
you are mistaken. Her adoptive Mother spoke highly of her. I have no doubt that most of the people that knew her socially & spoke ill of her in the video called her friend & smiled to her face
Human nature leaves a lot to be desired
What a complete psycho, I firmly believe that because she had military background she was able to get away with a lot. My ex husband almost killed me , and cops never believed me because he was a marine.
You poor thing xx
@@DONNELLxOKAFOR🙄
@DONNELLxOKAFOR what do u know about credibility 😮
@@anneleeuwen2105I don't get that either. I'm a navy vet and Everytime I hear "he/she are veterans, they could never do something wrong" it's like THEY ARE EFFING HUMANS TOO! Just because someone is a veteran does NOT exempt them from doing wrong.
And no one responds well to hearing the stats related to high clusters or sociopathic/psychopathic/anti social personality disorder in military personnel. Never trust someone’s work history, including military work history. Unfortunately, I found out the hard way.
I was raised by a toxic mother, granted not as insane as this woman. Hard pill her kids need to swallow is she does not love them - they're extensions of her/objects to be used to meet her own needs/emotional punching bags. Go no contact & get a ton of trauma therapy. Pretty much a given that kids of people like this have complex PTSD, but distance & therapy will allow the kids to focus on themselves for once & heal.
Yep
HOPE & PRAY THE CHILDREN CAN NOW HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF NORMALCY WITH THIS MONSTER BEHIND BARS. ALSO THAT THEY KNOW HER ACTIONS ARE IN NO WAY A REFLECTION OF THEM.
GOD BLESS THEM & KEEP THEM SAFE 🙏💙
Thank you for validating the PTSD we get from these traumas we can't process due to our tender ages.
Sara's son is a very well adjusted young man considering everything. l hope he has a happy life from here❤
The young man is so intelligent. Yet the sadness and damage is very paramount.
Seems like she had terrible beginnings but her foster family was a blessing and gave her a shot at normalcy but she choose a terrible life. I hope her son and family can move on past her. Excellent documentary!
Y’all did a really good job on this crime doc! 👏🏻👏🏻
Well done. She is a serial killer for crying out loud. It's her thing. She ain't never gonna change.
She is pure evil.
World is full of sociopaths. You never know.
She's not a sociopaths...psychopath is quite different. Unfeeling is false and frankly would not produce a murderer..murderers feel pleasure at killing usually. She's clearly a psychopath...huge difference.
@@Angelface11 you could not be more wrong. Go and do your research about the two before making such a comment.
Im not a qualified mental health professional, but this woman sounds exactly like a malignant Borderline (BPD). Im so sorry for everyone who has suffered at the hands of this woman. My sincere condolences I’m so very sorry
If you’re not a qualified mental health professional, don’t diagnose please. you are adding to the stigma people with borderline suffer, which in turn makes it hard for us to seek treatment. I’m a law graduate and a trauma survivor who has bpd, and most of us are likely to be victims of crime rather than the perpetrators. Please be more considerate before posting
@@laurend5997 I am sorry that you have experienced trauma Lauren-truly.The fact that you would want to seek professional help to overcome your pain&better yourself is a distinction that separates you from "malignant" borderlines, IMHO.And there is a difference.I am not a qualified mental health professional,as I stated, but do have my own trauma from experiences with the malignant sort I am referencing. It is they who create a stigma for BPD condition, not people like me,who survived them and can identify the characteristics&insidious patterns of behavior that are innocuous to those who have never encountered this extreme "malignant" version of this Personality Disorder.I understand your BPD diagnosis is possibly a result of your trauma.I respect your position&your right to speak on it.I hope you will, in turn, respect mine.
100% BPD. They seem to have some sort of siren charm when it comes to men we will never understand! NEVER abandoned them or you're DEAD.
@@marniemarn4574thank you for saying this!
@@ir9567 so true. why dont more people know this. I wish I knew it sooner than I did.
I have NEVER heard of live streaming your loved one's death. How completely intrusive and disrespectful to not only the family, but mostly the dying victim! RIP Joseph...
There are not 2 sarahs. There is just one entitled narcissistic Sarah. Being in the military kept her reined in, otherwise l dont doubt the killing would have started sooner. Good doco.
Well if she joined the army 93? And the cops are looking into her brother who died in 1990. Reminds me of the case of the woman who shot her brother when she was a teen..Then killed her husband later.
Narcissists,always an excuse or turning it into you feeling sorry for them, instead of acknowledging or accepting responsibility for anything, poor son!!!
5th husband??? OMG!! How is that even possible? Thats a red flag already...
She led Mr. Harstfield and his family to believe he was her second husband after divorcing her husband of 18 years.
She's sociopath. Those kinds of people can not be rehabilitated. They are what they are. I hope they keep her locked up for a very long time. Her fellow inmates better watch their back.
Definitely a sociopath!
Some sociopaths are actually very good people and don't need rehabilitation.
Sarah is a malignant narcissist. That's very different. Narcissists generally cannot be rehabilitated. They are some of the most evil and toxic people on the planet. They will absolutely destroy your life while managing to convince everyone else that they are a victim and a selfless empath. It's sickening.
I pray her children will be ok emotionally and psychologically. Christ surround them and mercy and grace be with them always🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
🙏 AMEN 🙏💙
Who is the common denominator in every relationship…Sarah!! She’s either the most unluckiest woman in the world or she’s guilty AF! She shoot her fiancé in “self-defense” and moves into HIS house & even brings a new man into that house! The new man should have ran for the hills, after hearing the story! The last husband knew his diabetic history & knew what to do! He was going to leave her & mysteriously…he dies?!! GTFOH!! They always get sloppy or greedy after they’ve gotten away with so much & that’s why they get caught! Hopefully this time justice is served!!!
She committed so many crimes and was reported sooooo pretty confused how it took this long.
15:43 Those kids are survivors of a narcissistic mother 🌹❤️
This lady WOULD make a brilliant intelligence agent as she has been watching people so closely her whole life as a ‘psychopath’ she would not know how to feel and react normally. And the sucking up to the superiors while dumping on underlings is classic.
She was not smart. She probably learned how to be manipulative from early age
It's a choice.
her son seems to have more sense and compassion that she lacks...I pray he has a good life and am sorry for all the victims she has left behind..( this was exceptionally 'well' done by the journalist...
This reporter was very engaging , well done
This is one of the best true crime docos I have seen in a long time. Well done Bryce on a brilliantly researched piece, your interviews with loved ones were sensitive and enlightening…. Your hard work has paid off…. A fascinating tale of one persons evil wrecking havoc on innocent peoples lives…tragic.
I'm so sorry to the mother.
It's horrible what this evil witch done
From Australia
I a diabetic and have experienced low blood sugar that is to the point where I thought I was going to die so I know first hand how painful it was for him. He died an agonizing death. That woman should be put to death in the most painful way. I have never been one to wish this on anyone but I know how agonizing it feels to have ones blood sugar bottom out. It is very painful and terrifying. RIP you precious innocent human being you did not deserve this horrible death.
Really? I didn’t know you feel pain when your levels go too low. I assumed he would pass out because the body usually has a way of protecting the mind from too much pain. That’s so awful and sad. This was very informative for me and now I know. 😢
It's painful. I personally witnessed my first husband's mom with low blood sugar. She would cry and shake. It was so up and down with her because renal failure was in process. Her doctors had to constantly regulate her insulin medication shots. I took care of mom for three years. I loved her dearly.
Now imagining a murder...this story...I CRINGED.
This is my husbands aunt. He stayed with her for a summer years ago and told me about how abusive and manipulative she was behind closed doors and we’re so happy she will no longer be able to hurt anyone els.
Very well done documentary! I thought it was 48 hours! Keep up the great reporting!
Sending prayers and thoughts of healing to all the victims. Including her kids whom she abused. 😢

After having seen the Dateline episode, they left out the part where she almost set her first husband on fire, and she supposedly DID set her older brother’s house on fire and burned it to the ground…
That was her maternal grandmother's house. She was angry it was left to Cody rather than her. She emptied the house of things she wanted and then set the fire knowing full well Cody, his wife and a child were inside. Both of these programs have not even scratched the surface of this woman's evil. There is much more,
This is very good journalism! Very intriguing story. Keep them coming!
Thank you for the kind words, Nana.
Did not expect to find such high quality crime documentaries from a local tv station.
But then, Houston isn't some backwater speck on the map.
ANYWAY: Keep up the good work 🙂☝🏼 And greetings from Holland
I never thought I'd see someone worse than Letecia Stauch, but this woman is. I hope she remains behind bars and is never let free.
Well I cane name a few....Sarah who left her husband in a suitcase under the guise of a drinking game..Diane Downs.....Jody Arias....elderly woman who was a writer and killed her Chef husband based on a plot in her book...basically a long line of women with BPD with psychopathic tendencies.
A horrible sociopath/psychopath. She hurts every life she touches. Good riddance Sara.
Sociopath or psychopath. Two different things
@LoraHari71 it wasn’t stated sociopath AND psychopath but with a slash indicating an either or situation. Maybe learn that b4 correcting others
5:32 shared to Facebook PUBLICLY!!! GTFOOH, Are you serious? This to me is someone who is recording everything because she wants "proof" she "cared, cried & was sad" at his bedside when he died. Meanwhile, any one of us who would be in this situation wouldn't want this memory recorded. This has guilty conscience all over it, don't ya think?
The poor poor mothers of these victims. I’m sorry but there is no excuse for what she did. If you were beaten or cheated on then u should have divorced. A bad childhood is no excuse.
That’s pretty bad when two men are completely afraid of her / her getting out . That’s horrific way to live . I think she’s in for life but wow to hear them talk if she did get out .
😳
I think everyone should look behind there shoulder if she gets out. Anyone in this documentary 👀
It’s so scary and worrisome as a parent when your children get old enough begin dating and/or preparing to settle down on their own. It’s such a fine line in how much you say or do for your child. We all learn from mistakes in life,..but when these kind of people enter others lives,.. they are hard to spot because of the mask they wear until their claws have you in their web of deceit. Some make it out alive and some don’t. So darn sad.💔
I don’t get ppl who marry ppl with 2, 3, 4 ex’s. They’ve got problems themselves.
I have always wondered about that myself.
@@carleneevans8768 thx for your response. People marry at their own same level of dysfunction. We don’t have self awareness unless we examine & get educated on our own family of origin dynamics in order to know our own issues.
Could've easily happened to a male relative of mine. We warned him. She had 3 divorces, lost custody of one of her kids and was on child support, evading taxes, and pressured him to get married within like 6 months when he just wanted to date a bit longer. They ended up in separate bedrooms within a few months and she would scream at him and act insane. The marriage luckily ended in divorce after only a year. Hopefully she doesn't do anything else.
Early childhood attachment trauma can cause lots of issues, and this woman likely experienced serious trauma and lack of ability to regulate herself when attached to another without being triggered, eventually into a borderline and or narcissistic rage.
The journalist who reported this story, did an excellent job. Although not a fan of true crime…I’d have nightmares 🥶…I was glued to this story. So well documented and told !
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
When a black widow graduates to entry-level serial killer…
Wow, what an absolute ghoul and a cautionary example of why you can never be too careful in a new relationship(!)
I am so sorry for her kids, it must have been awful for them, ik hope they are happy now, nobody can hurt others.
1 dead husband - tragic
2 dead husbands - suspect
Son seems amazing considering
Edit- also her claim that she's only guilty of chosing bad husbands? - WHY MARRY 5 TIMES THEN BISH. iv been in a few dv relationships and im 34 tomorrow, never married yet but when i do. Il chose carefully!
One dead husband, one fiance she shot claiming self-defense. All other 4 husbands are still alive. If MN had charged her in the death of David Bragg, she never would have met Joseph Hartsfield and he would still be here.
I'm a mother of sons God help anyone who abused them I know what I will do.
Blessings to the people hurt by this sicko.
Wow the the military intelligence piece. Unreal. Can't believe she served our country...
Great reporting by Bryce Newberry! This was a fascinating story about a sick and twisted woman. Like someone else mentioned, I think Sarah has BPD and doesn't care about anyone but herself. I feel sorry for her kids and the lives of the people she has affected.
Whole time i was watching i was thinking this sounds like BPD. My mom had it and was a lot like this. Constant never ending upheaval that is somehow always everyone else's fault.
I agree with the BPD, but think she could also be diagnosed with sociopathy and narcissism. There’s some people with BPD who’d never abuse or kill others as it’s a spectrum. Don’t wanna add to the misconceptions about people with BPD.

What a horrid psychopath. I felt so sorry for Joe’s mother.
This was very well made I'd love to see more docs like this from you. My heart goes out to all the people who lost their lives and to their family members. I hope they are all able to find some peace and hopefully justice.
Great job on the story. However, could you please reconsider the music playing in the background. It's a bit much!
it is AMAZING to me how some people can just go through life destroying other people and not getting caught. I hope justice will be served.
This is what true journalism looks like! Research before you present …facts from all sides, but you’ve done the research and represented all sides !
Sarah’s mommy issues comment referenced the close relationship her last husband had with his mother, it’s hard to be vindictive and manipulative when the man has people that really care about him and vice versa in their life, she wouldn’t understand the closeness between a real mother and child. I feel so sad for that mom
It's been said by people who know her that she hated her mother.
Her foster mother seems so loving and compassionate. I would have loved her as my FM.
The neighbor friend said “this isn’t someone who was raised by a monster” ummmm the foster mom got her as a TEEN…. So yeah her first and most formative years she for sure WAS raised by monsters, a bio-mom who didn’t blink an eye at the death of her own son and a step-dad with a long criminal record. What isn’t discussed unless I missed it was WHY Sarah was taken from her bio-foster care but the brother wasn’t.
I don't know why other law enforcement agencies aren't investigating other suspicious deaths that have surrounded her. And in the court of public opinion she can be presumed guilty.
They are looking again at the death of Rebecca Kunze, the long-time companion of her 4th husband and the investigation into the death of her fiance in MN was reopened within days of her arrest in Texas.
Still confused how she carried out a murder plot on her little brother whilst living in a different home?
I thought that too, and wondered if it may have been her abusive mother, as often it is said psychopath traits are a combination of genetics and environment.
One of the other comments did say it was almost certainly another one of her brothers who killed this little boy. I think he may have admitted it. He is a career criminal and is currently in prison for sexual offences.
@@rottweilertrainingUK that's true. Hollis Dean Smith.
Yet another perfect example of a monster preying on and destroying (or attempting to destroy) fundamentally good, decent people. She projected a simulacrum of love, kindness, and virtue like a charismatic mask and when that mask slips, it can be chilling, even if you are not the target.
The foster mother is so sweet, she was very lucky to be raised by them but she was born evil, had her parents' genes.
This story is very well-done. She left so much horror and sadness in her wake. Is her son doing ok today?
What in the hell is going on. If the cops would have taken this serious maybe the 2nd husband she killed would still be alive. Yall knew about a murder plot and the man even traveled long distance to deliver flowers . What is wrong with the justice system sometimes 😮😢
New Sub from another state.
Awesome job on this.
Great reporting.
Excellent piece of investigative journalism 👏👏
What's scary is there's others just like her free. It seems to take multiple deaths to be caught. If she's guilty I hope they nail her so a jury believes. Prosecution can be botched. Scary!
First time I have ever seen this journalist I’m from the uk he’s amazing tells the story does his homework I hope hes big in USA he deserves to be
Let,s hope this monster stays behind bars forever!
My goodness, this is like a Lifetime movie!
Her Facebook wall alone is the crime of the century. Holy moly what a psychopath.
I like to post and text and drive people crazy.
@@fieldtrip8965 the only crazy one is you 😂🤡
@@lowrider81hd Watch yourself! I drive people crazy. Joe told his mother he was leaving and if he stayed I would drive him crazy. I got revenge for him telling my secret that I drive people crazy and I do! Did you like my FaceBook? All those posts acting like a grieving widow after I poisoned Joe with insulin.
@@fieldtrip8965 lmao 🤡
@@fieldtrip8965I wouldn't brag about that, just sayin'
