Texas woman who beat murder wrap of ex in 2018 now accused of poisoning 5th husband to death with insulin.




Sarah Hartsfield, a 48-year-old former US Army sergeant, is accused of murdering her diabetic husband, Joseph Hartsfield, by shooting him up with high levels of insulin and then failing to call 911 until it was too late, according to multiple reports. 


The 46-year-old’s insulin levels were extremely high about four to six hours before his wife dialed for help in the January incident, officials told ABC13 in Houston, adding that his glucose monitor had sounded an alarm long before she attempted to seek aid.


And while Hartsfield is locked up in Chambers County Jail, investigators in Minnesota have re-opened a probe into the death of her ex-fiancé David Bragg, who she shot and killed in 2018. 


Investigators ruled the 46-year-old’s death was a result of foul play and uncovered Hartsfield’s sweeping dating history that was supposedly filled with abuse, threats and arrests on charges of assault. 



As Hartsfield sits behind bars at the Chambers County Jail, ABC Houston reported that Minnesota investigators have re-opened the case of her dead fiancé David Bragg, who she shot dead in ‘self-defense’ back in 2018. 


The accused woman’s children and living ex-husbands have since come forward – claiming they knew ‘she’d end up in jail someday.’ While Hartsfield was arrested in February, it wasn’t her first time behind bars.


She was arrested on March 11, 1996, for assaulting her second husband, Michael Traxler, at their home located on Rio Bonito, according to the news outlet.


At the time, Hartsfield was going by a different last name. She remained in jail for about a week until the charges were dropped for an undisclosed reason. Meanwhile, her then-husband was given a citation.


It appeared Hartsfield had only been with her second husband for only a few months before her arrest.


Prosecutors have explained her relationships as being ‘short-lived.’


Hartsfield’s first husband, who she divorced in January 1996, has since come forward in relief his ex-wife could no longer hurt anyone else.


Titus Knoernschild and Hartsfield were high school sweethearts. He recalled falling in love with his estranged wife in his junior year. The two tied the knot two years later.
