In episode 13 of season 31 of Snapped, viewers are taken through the chilling case of Sheila LaBarre, a woman from New Hampshire who is accused of killing two of her boyfriends. Sheila had a long history of mental illness and was known in her community for her eccentric behavior.
The episode begins with a reenactment of the last time Kenneth Countie, one of LaBarre's boyfriends, was seen alive. He had gone to her farm in Epping, New Hampshire, and had never been heard from again. The police initially suspected that Kenneth had simply left town, but as the months went by, they became increasingly suspicious of LaBarre's involvement in his disappearance.
It wasn't until another one of LaBarre's boyfriends, Michael Deloge, went missing a few years later that the police began to piece together a more sinister picture. Like Kenneth, Michael had also visited LaBarre's farm and had never been seen again. The police knew they needed to act quickly before anyone else fell victim to LaBarre's rage.
As the investigation unfolded, the police discovered that LaBarre had a history of violence towards men. She had a long list of ex-boyfriends who had all left her amidst tales of abuse and neglect. LaBarre had even gone so far as to create a list of rules that her boyfriends had to follow if they wanted to be with her - rules that included no sleeping, no eating, and no going to the bathroom without her permission.
The police were eventually able to piece together the gruesome details of LaBarre's crimes. She had tortured and killed both Kenneth and Michael, burying their remains on her property. LaBarre's trial was one of the most sensational in New Hampshire's history, with witnesses describing her as a manipulative and sadistic monster.
Viewers of the episode will be captivated by the haunting story of Sheila LaBarre and the men she preyed upon. The show offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a person with severe mental illness and the devastating consequences that can result from unchecked rage and violence.
