() A Texas woman has been convicted of the murder of her fifth husband, according to multiple reports.

Sarah Hartsfield was accused of killing her most recent husband, Joseph Harstfield, with a fatal dose of insulin two years ago. Joseph Hartsfield, who was diabetic, was taking medicine that made him more sensitive to insulin. The medication helps people with diabetes regulate their blood sugar.

Multiple insulin pens were found on the side of Joseph Hartsfield’s bed, authorities said.

Mallory Vargas, Chambers County assistant district attorney, charged that Sarah Hartsfield believed she’d get away with her husband’s murder.

“What a wild coincidence that no person can leave her without consequences,” Vargas said.

Joseph Hartsfield was taken to a Houston-area hospital after his wife dialed 911 on Jan. 7, 2023. He was admitted with unsafe low blood levels. A nurse’s testimony stated Hartsfield’s blood sugar kept crashing. Hartsfield was given something to counteract the glucose provided by the hospital staff, which a medical examiner later revealed was insulin.

Extensive amounts of insulin can cause dangerously low blood levels for diabetics.

Complications from toxic effects of insulin were revealed as Joseph Hartsfield’s cause of death. However, his manner of death was deemed undetermined.

Joseph Hartsfield planned on leaving Sarah Hartsfield: Relatives

In the weeks leading up to his death, relatives of Joseph Hartsfield said he admitted his relationship with Sarah was deteriorating, and he was planning on leaving her.

“He told me he was worried she would kill him in his sleep,” Jeannie Hartsfield, Joseph’s sister, stated while testifying.

Skyler Rocz, one of the detectives in the case, said circumstantial evidence proved Sarah Hartsfield’s guilt.

Hours before Joseph Hartsfield was hospitalized, messages were sent from his phone to hers with personal information, details for a bank account he opened and a key for his Apple Legacy Contact.

The information allowed Sarah Hartsfield to access Joseph’s phone data after his death.

Rocz also mentioned the data from Sarah Hartsfield’s phone conflicted with the statement provided to authorities. Sarah Hartfield’s internet search history had also been deleted, Rocz said.

Sarah Hartsfield was investigated for killing fiance in 2018

In 2018, Sarah Hartsfield was investigated for killing her then-fiancé, David Bragg, at the time in Minnesota. Four years earlier, she denied being involved in an alleged murder plot and fire at her brother’s home in Missouri.

Hartsfield was also accused of asking her fourth husband to kill her third husband’s new wife. She also denied involvement in the alleged murder plot and in the 2014 fire at a home that her grandmother had given to her brother.

Hartsfield wasn’t charged with a crime in either case.
