Sheila 40 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.640 Labarre liked to troll the personal ads and homeless shelters, 41 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.719 looking for men whom society had rejected for one reason 42 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.800 or another, men she could easily dominate, both verbally and sexually. 43 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.840 One by one, she invited them to her remote New 44 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.199 Hampshire farmhouse, where she engaged them in s and m 45 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.560 But over time sex gave way to brutal acts of torture, 46 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.479 as she mercilessly flogged and beat her captives until they 47 00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:30.960 confessed to committing unspeakable acts. Once satisfied that they had 48 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.639 paid for their sins, Sheila savagely slaughtered them and burned 49 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:38.800 their remains on her farm. From the disturbing audio tape 50 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.879 Sheila made of her victim's confessions to her own bizarre statements, 51 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.560 which she claimed to have returned from the dead to 52 00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:49.199 be God's avenger. The Burn Farm takes you behind the 53 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:54.639 scenes of the scandal that rocked a quiet New Hampshire town, 54 00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.319 a New England town and in the twisted, depraved mind 55 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:03.000 of a manipula bit of cold blooded murderer. Our book 56 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:07.159 this evening is Burn Farm with my special guest, journalist 57 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.960 and author Michael Benson. We don't have him on the 58 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.599 line as of yet. I'm hoping that I had a 59 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.919 little bit of mix up with daylight Saving time. I 60 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.360 had no idea that not everybody was on the same 61 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.879 page with the daylight saving time, so the confusion. I 62 00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.319 take the responsibility for that not making it very clear 63 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:33.599 exactly what time we were on slated for today, and 64 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.960 Michael was good enough to there was another mix up. 65 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.319 I had a hard drive fry and a lot of 66 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:43.560 information I had to piece back together via email, and 67 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:47.680 so I've got a couple of the guests their order 68 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.439 of the schedule of the to appear on the program. 69 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:55.120 Mixed up. So Michael Benson was good enough to who 70 00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.800 was originally scheduled for last week to come on this week, 71 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:02.039 and here we have Michael Benson. So all's well, do 72 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.599 you think, Michael Dan, how are you? 73 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.240 I'm doing well. I didn't realize I was supposed to 74 00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:07.639 call you. 75 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:13.280 Ah, there we go. There's always something that's well explained 76 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.199 by me. I apologize, but thank you very much for 77 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.560 agreeing to come on this program, and welcome to the 78 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.720 program True Murder. Michael Benson, thank you very much, thanks 79 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:24.079 for having me. Thank you very much. I just went 80 00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:28.000 and gave the description of Sheila Lebar and what this 81 00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:33.439 story is basically about. But let's get into the Let's 82 00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.519 get into the nitty gritty here with The main character 83 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.879 in this incredible story is a woman named Sheila Labar 84 00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:45.639 formerly Sheila Bailey, raised in a place called Fort Payne, Alabama. 85 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.160 Tell us about her life growing up. What was her 86 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.519 life like in Fort Payne, Alabama. What kind of community 87 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:53.120 was she from? 88 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:57.920 Well, you know, it was a brural Alabama town and 89 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.839 she was the youngest of six. They didn't have a 90 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.079 lot of money. Dad smoothed out blacktop during the day 91 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:08.560 and drank at night. Sometimes mom worked in a hospital, 92 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:10.959 but a lot of times she was home. The problem 93 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.439 was that, according to Sheila and her older sister, Lynn, 94 00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.600 Sheila was sexually abused by her father and his friends, 95 00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:21.040 and that her mom knew about it but failed to 96 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:26.319 protect her. Her sister said that not only had she 97 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.079 seen Shila be abused, but she herself had been abused 98 00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.279 as well. Are using trouble hearing me? I have a 99 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:31.959 lot of static. 100 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:37.160 There is a lot of static, but it seems to 101 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:41.079 be emanating from your from your US, your location, but 102 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:41.720 I'm not sure. 103 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:46.160 Okay, could you try giving me a quick call? 104 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.000 I can't do that as it's set up right now. 105 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.079 We're live and I can't break from this. 106 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:53.879 All right, give me the number again quick and I'll 107 00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:54.720 call a second time. 108 00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:02.319 Okay, it's three four seven seven four zero six four. 109 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.639 Okay, I'll be back in thirty seconds. Sorry about this. 110 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.360 We're gonna wait for Michael to call back in. He's right. 111 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:22.480 That line was extremely noisy. See if we can pick 112 00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:26.120 a little headway. I know that the blog talk introduction 113 00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:30.000 or instructions to me were distorted somewhat, but I didn't 114 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:33.480 have that background noise as a feature, so we're hoping 115 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:36.439 to have Michael back on. This is an incredible book 116 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:40.639 by the way, Burn Farm not for the faint of heart. 117 00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.879 A lot of a lot of these books are that 118 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.800 I have covered. Are some of these subjects which I 119 00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:51.120 find most interesting. This is one of those, Burn Farm 120 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:55.480 on the more extreme ends of true crime. And here 121 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:56.839 we are back with Michael Benson. 122 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:01.519 It has something to do with the weather here in 123 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:06.879 New York. We're having both sleet and thunder, so maybe 124 00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:10.759 problems with the connection to the satellite or something. Anyway, 125 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:11.639 hopefully you can hear me. 126 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:13.959 Yeah, it's a little bit better for sure. 127 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.639 Now, her sister backed up her story that she'd been abused, 128 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.639 and Sheila said that she grew up into a woman 129 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:25.560 who liked men, but she had trouble having a fulfilling 130 00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:29.040 sex life during her early adult years because she still 131 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:33.920 had infantile genitalia and couldn't handle the well endowed men 132 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:38.279 she attracted. Now it's uncertain exactly how many times she 133 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.959 was married, but it was a few, and everyone agrees 134 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.680 that her first marriage was in the early nineteen eighties 135 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:49.040 to Alabama local named Ronnie Jennings. Later in life, Shila 136 00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:52.319 would develop an obsession with being in control at all times, 137 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:55.399 but that personality trait wasn't fully developed when she was 138 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.600 a young woman. I mean, later on, I think she 139 00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:02.399 had just beaten the crap out of him. But when 140 00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:06.000 she was a younger woman, she decided to hurt herself instead. 141 00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:09.199 So when she couldn't have her way with her first husband, 142 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:12.360 she swallowed an overdose of pills and then drove her 143 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:14.800 car until she passed out at the wheel and cracked up. 144 00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:19.160 She was taken by a helicopter to a hospital where 145 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:21.920 she spent days in a coma, and she woke up 146 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:25.040 believing she had died, gone to heaven, and had been 147 00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:30.160 sent back by God to rid the world of pedophiles. Wow, 148 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:36.879 so that's her psychological makeup. Now we next pick her 149 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:41.440 up in nineteen eighty seven, and she is in Nashville, Tennessee. 150 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:44.240 She wants to be a country and Western singer, and 151 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:49.120 she's putting ads in sex oriented newspapers looking for submissive 152 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:54.320 partners men who are willing to endure her discipline. And 153 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:57.039 that was how she met doctor William Labam as sixty 154 00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.960 year old mild mannered chiropractor who lived in a farm 155 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.279 house in the middle of nowhere in New Hampshire. 156 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:07.279 That is go ahead, go ahead, you Now. 157 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:10.600 The nearest town was a small village called Epping, and 158 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:14.879 the nearest city was Portsmouth, which is why I was 159 00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.240 early to find out about this case. My agent, Jake 160 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.440 Elwell of Harold Obern Associates, grew up in Portsmouth, and 161 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.879 as soon as this all went down, you know, he 162 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.039 gave me a call and said you should do a book, 163 00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:28.879 call it the Burn Farm. And it was never called 164 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:34.600 anything else. So anyway, she she eventually comes back to 165 00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:39.159 Epping with doctor Lebar and they are not husband and wife. 166 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:43.360 They were never married, and she starts to take control 167 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.399 of his life. She changes the name of his farm, 168 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:51.200 she takes over the business end of his chiropractic practice, 169 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.200 and with a meanness that went right down to her bones, 170 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.000 she humiliated him at every turn. She became the town 171 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.600 tramp as well as the tramp of several surrounding towns 172 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.759 as well. Now, like I said, she never married doctor 173 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.759 Lebar son. Certain how she felt she could get away 174 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:10.720 with taking his name, but she did, and she referred 175 00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:14.000 to herself as Shila Lebar from that point on, and 176 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:18.320 a judge after doctor Lebar died ruled that she was 177 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:23.320 indeed his common law of wife, so everyone called. 178 00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:28.759 Her sorry it wasn't. There also that he actually modified 179 00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:32.960 his will to will her everything that he owned in 180 00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:34.919 a couple a couple of properties. He was well off, 181 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:39.120 the business, the properties, the farm. 182 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:42.840 Well, yeah, the legitimacy of that particular will is in question, 183 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:49.159 so especially since when she was while she was living 184 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:54.039 in his house she married another man. She had several 185 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.519 living lovers. First was a Jamaican man named Dwayne Ennis, 186 00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:02.159 and she married him and the marriage didn't last long 187 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:07.320 and eventually us escape back to Jamaica unharmed. But there 188 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.399 was a steady string of lovers she had right in 189 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:14.159 doctor Lebarr's home. Next came Jimmy Brackett, who was a 190 00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:17.320 mentally slow individual who did chores around the farm and 191 00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:22.360 became Shila's increasingly abused sex slave. He too, managed to 192 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:25.000 get away with his life, but not until Sheila broke 193 00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:28.039 his teeth with the handle of a basting brush as 194 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.240 they bathed together. And it's unknown why they had the 195 00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.120 basting brush, and that's help with them now. In December 196 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.679 two thousand, doctor Lebar passed away and Sheila assumed control 197 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.200 of his estate. Pulling out the will. You mentioned that 198 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:46.799 Bill's kids do nothing about They had no idea he 199 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:51.279 had made out a new will. She immediately had doctor 200 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:54.000 lebar cremate it boom. There wasn't going to be any 201 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:57.879 autopsies there. And although there were those who said doctor 202 00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:00.879 Lebarre's complexion had gone green during the last days of 203 00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:05.679 his life, indicating that something was making him sick. During 204 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.639 his last days, says his common law wife, Sheila, assumed 205 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:14.000 control of the farm. The will said the doctor was 206 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:16.600 stiffing his kids and giving everything to the kind and 207 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.200 wonderful woman known to the world as Shila Labar and 208 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:23.679 it was without him as her anchor that her life 209 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:27.240 really started to spiral out of control. In two thousand 210 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:31.799 and five, she takes in a homeless man named Michael Deloge, 211 00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:36.679 whose small man mentally slow, and she beats him up 212 00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:39.840 repeatedly and he would run away. People would see him 213 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.279 walking down the road heading away from Shila's with his 214 00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:44.879 face bleeding, and she would just get in the car 215 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.360 and go to the homeless shelter to pick him up. 216 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:49.879 You know, he couldn't get away. He didn't have the 217 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:52.600 mental capacity to figure out how to escape from her, 218 00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.320 and she eventually tortured him, hitting him to confess to 219 00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:59.919 being a pedophile with an incestuous past. Then she tort 220 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:02.679 until he was dead, cut up his body and threw 221 00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:06.320 it into the burn pile for incineration. And then in 222 00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:09.240 February two thousand and six, she meets Kenneth County, a 223 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.720 memorley handicapped young man with the sophistication of an eleven 224 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:18.000 year old, and he turns out to be her final victim. 225 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:25.399 Now, how did you talk about Sheila Lebar and how everyone, 226 00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:29.240 including the police kind of stayed away from her. You 227 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:32.279 talked about the numerous complaints that Sheila made to police 228 00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:36.440 about everything, her neighbors all kinds of numerous complaints about 229 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.759 the officials that wouldn't respond to any of her complaints. 230 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:46.919 There was a litany of complaints that this woman made. 231 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:51.000 City officials and neighbors wanted to stay clear of her. 232 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:54.240 Tell us a little bit more about her bizarre behavior. 233 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:59.279 You say that it really took a turn when doctor 234 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:01.840 Lebar act he passed away. So tell us a little 235 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:04.279 bit about her relationship with the neighbors and some of 236 00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:05.240 her odd behavior. 237 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.840 Well, I think that she had the police of Epping 238 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:16.360 lulled into it. That's just Sila being Sheila attitude. She 239 00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:22.120 the police went out there tens of times. You know, 240 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:24.600 she would she would call saying that her boyfriend was 241 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:27.039 beating her up. You know, they would call saying she 242 00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:30.360 was beating them up. Uh. Sometimes she would be beating 243 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:32.840 them up. They would they would call nine one one, 244 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:35.200 and then she would punch herself just before police arrived 245 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.799 and said he hit me. Police had a rule, it 246 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:41.720 was the Shila rule that node they had to go 247 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:45.679 in Paris to her house because if they went by themselves, 248 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:48.440 she would expose themselves and try to and trap them 249 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.919 into some sort of sexual situation. 250 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:59.360 Right now, there was the Kenneth County County was spotted 251 00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:05.039 in a walm days before he was officially somebody was 252 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:08.960 reporting him missing. Tell us about who initiated the search 253 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.960 for this man that had the capacity of eleven year old, 254 00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:15.840 and also tell us where the couple was spotted away 255 00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:18.360 from the farm a couple of times. 256 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:24.159 Well, Sheila met Kenneth County on a singles phone chat line. 257 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.080 He was a nice kid. He wasn't terribly bright. He 258 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:32.000 lived with his mom. He had tried to go into 259 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:35.519 the army and wasn't able to make it through basic 260 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.639 training and felt miserably felt like a failure. He really 261 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:40.600 wanted to get out and be an adult on his own, 262 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:44.399 so he got an apartment not far from where his 263 00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:48.679 mom lived, had a roommate, and everything was fine until 264 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:50.879 he called a sex chat line that he saw a 265 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.799 commercial for on TV and Sheila was on the other 266 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.679 end of the line. Next thing you know, they're having 267 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:02.440 their first date on Valentine's Day in two thousand and six. 268 00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:07.000 They meet at a hotel in Hampton. They go out 269 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.360 in the parking lot and have sex twice, and a 270 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:14.039 week later, County leaves his Massachusetts home, telling his roommate 271 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:16.519 that he'll be back, but he never comes back. He 272 00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:19.080 leaves his personal items behind and begins living at the 273 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.440 farm with Sheila. So it's only six days after their 274 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:27.399 first date when Kenny calls his mom and he sounds bad. 275 00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:33.240 He's complaining about mistreatment, and Sheila grabs the phone away 276 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.320 from him and says, you know, we want to be 277 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:39.279 left alone. Kenny's happy with me and hangs up. So 278 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:43.360 Kenny's mom, Carolyn, relives that Sheila hadn't counted on picking 279 00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.559 up a man that somebody cared about. And this turned 280 00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:49.519 out to be her big mistake because Carolyn Lodge kept 281 00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:54.519 tracks of her Kenny, and she called the state police 282 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:58.039 immediately to express her alarm.

Now, County is 298 00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:46.720 reported missing to the Epping police for the first time 299 00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:50.880 by his mother and they go out to Shield's farm 300 00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:55.119 to see if he's okay. You know, she said, oh yeah, 301 00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:55.759 go ahead. 302 00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:59.160 So what happens when police go out to the farm. 303 00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:02.079 What is it? Yeah, and she says he's in the tub. 304 00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:04.319 He can't come out. He says, sorry, man, we have 305 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.640 to see him. So Kenny gets out of the tub 306 00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:09.240 and comes out, comes to the door. He's got a 307 00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:11.799 towel around him. She says, there he is now leave 308 00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:17.559 and the cops leave, every indication that they're a little 309 00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:20.920 bit frightened of her, and when she barks at them 310 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:21.720 to go, they go. 311 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:24.319 Now. 312 00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:28.839 The next day, she faxes the Epping police a document that, 313 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:32.920 in theory Kenny wrote. Kenny signed it anyway, and it says, 314 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:36.400 I trust only Shila Labar and we are happy a 315 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:38.400 couple of two adults, and we want to be left 316 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:42.359 alone as far as the cops are concerned. That's that 317 00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:44.759 does it? You know, the mother no longer has any 318 00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:48.880 rights over me. He's an adult man. Then comes the 319 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:54.480 Walmart incident. It's it's March eleventh now, and Sheila walks 320 00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:57.319 into Walmart with Kenny, who's starting to look a little 321 00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:03.200 beat up, but he's walking around and she suddenly makes 322 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.119 a big fuss and complains that another customer has just 323 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.400 hit her husband. And she looks in and she says, 324 00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:12.799 look at him, he's all beat up. Look he just 325 00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:15.119 got beat up by one of your customers. And the 326 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:20.599 Walmart employee says, it doesn't look like he just got 327 00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:22.400 beat up, and she says, all that those come from 328 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:24.480 a car accident he was in. Those come from an 329 00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:27.599 explosion where there was glass, but he just got hit 330 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:30.640 by We're going to sue. So he said, what if 331 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.160 you mentioned the word sue to a Walmart employee, you 332 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.400 are asked to leave immediately, And she was and it 333 00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:40.200 was chalked up as just a strange incident until six 334 00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:43.160 days later when she comes back to the same Walmart, 335 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:46.480 and this time she's got Kenny in a wheelchair and 336 00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:49.680 he is really looking bad. He is green in color, 337 00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:53.319 the same bad complexion people noticed in doctor Lebar during 338 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:56.880 the last days of his life. And she's pushing around 339 00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:59.400 in a wheelchair and he's got a huge cut across 340 00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:02.599 his no and these battered they're looked like burn marks 341 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:07.799 on him. And she again causes disturbance and police are 342 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:12.000 called this time and the officers they come and they 343 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:17.559 see they see Kenny in the wheelchair looking beaten, and 344 00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:26.440 again Chila takes charge and says, you know, just leave 345 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:28.319 us alone. We're happy, we're fine, And they said, well, 346 00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:30.359 we got to make sure that he can walk. So 347 00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:33.039 Kenny gets out of the wheelchair, walks three steps, gets 348 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:35.240 back in the wheelchair, and she takes them out, puts 349 00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:37.160 them into the car, and gets in and gets him 350 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:39.759 out of there. Now, the question here, I think is 351 00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:43.000 is not as well. I mean, there is a question 352 00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:46.200 why didn't the police intervene at that point? But why 353 00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:48.920 did Sheila do it at all? What is it that 354 00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:52.680 she's trying to establish here? She's making a public record 355 00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:57.839 of her lover's slow demise for some reason in her head, 356 00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:00.920 but we don't know what it is. Anyway, that would 357 00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:04.079 be the last time that anyone would see Kenny alive. 358 00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:10.640 On March twenty third, Kenny's mom calls Sheila and tells 359 00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:15.640 her that she wants Kenny to come home right away, 360 00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:19.400 and Sheila says, well, sorry, can't do that. Kenny has left. 361 00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:23.279 He's gone back to Massachusetts. Don't know where he is 362 00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:28.079 by well. Carolyn Lodge finds this very disconcerting news and 363 00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:32.319 again reports her son missing. So that same day, same 364 00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:35.920 two cops go back out to Sheila's house and there's 365 00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:39.480 a mattress that's burning outside. There's a couple of burn 366 00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:42.759 piles going and one of the cops looks into one 367 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:44.480 of the burn piles and sees what he thinks as 368 00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:50.319 a human bone, and he figures that's enough to get 369 00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:52.799 probable cause for a surge warrant, and they tell her 370 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:55.279 not to touch anything, and they leave to get the warrant, 371 00:21:57.359 --> 00:22:03.920 come back several hours later her and sheill is covered 372 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:08.039 with ashes and she's crying and she's saying that her 373 00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:12.359 Kenny is gone, and she plays a tape for the 374 00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:15.720 policeman of a tape recording she made of a conversation 375 00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:20.640 with Kenny in which he admits to having raped several children, 376 00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:24.279 and Kenny can be heard in the background agreeing with her, 377 00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:27.359 and she's constantly yelling at him and abusing him, and 378 00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:31.160 toward the end he could be heard vomiting, and she 379 00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:33.440 tells him to stop faking that he's fainted. She knows 380 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:38.599 he hasn't really fainted. But the cops say, well, where 381 00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:42.279 is he now, and she says, well, I left, he left, 382 00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:48.799 I'm not sure where he is. And again they bring 383 00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:52.680 attention hills, attention to the bone in the fire, and 384 00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:54.960 they said well, where did that bone come from? And 385 00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:58.079 she says it either came from a rabbit or a pedophile. 386 00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:01.920 She borts that out and then immediately denies saying it. 387 00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:06.200 So, how does the police proceed from there? 388 00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:08.279 I'm sorry, I say it again? 389 00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:11.039 Well, so how did the police proceed from there? 390 00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:12.319 Oh? 391 00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:16.319 Boy, I can't sure you Dan, I'm so sorry. 392 00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:18.759 I want to say, how did the police proceed from there? 393 00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:24.839 Okay? Well, with the search warrant, they go over everything. 394 00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:31.119 They confiscate, among other things, a wide array of cutting 395 00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:35.039 tools in the house. They find blood in the house. 396 00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:37.960 All over the walls of the house are blood. Some 397 00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:40.359 of it's covered with dust and some of it's fresh, 398 00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.359 which would indicate that this is continuing behavior. She's making 399 00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:51.640 people bleed over a space of time. Now, the question 400 00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:56.319 I have is why is she allowed to go free? 401 00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:00.480
