The charge is connected to the Jan. 15 death of her husband Joseph Hartsfield, who died at Houston Methodist Baytown Hospital sfter a "suspicious illness," Sheriff Brian Hawthorne said.... Deputies had been called to the hospital that day and launched an investigation after they were given inconsistent information.

Hawthorne said that the inconsistencies coupled with "other determining factors made the illness appear more suspicious in nature."

Authorities have not said what led up to Joseph Hartsfield's death, but Hawthorne said foul play is suspected.

The sheriff told NBC affiliate KPRC of Houston that during the investigation, detectives learned that Sarah Hartsfield had been married five times and that some of her former spouses had died. Detectives were able to speak with three of her ex-husbands.

"Every relationship that it appears that she’s been in, everybody wants out of it because they fear for their life," Hawthorne told the news station. "A number of them have either made the statement, 'I needed out because I felt like my life was in danger,' and some have found where their life was clearly in danger."

Following the arrest, prosecutors in Douglas County, Minnesota, said they were reopening a case into the death of David Bragg, who was fatally shot by Sarah Hartsfield at their home on May 9, 2018.

Hartsfield told responding deputies that Bragg had fired a gun at her and she immediately shot him, the letter stated. Bragg was found dead on the first floor of the home by the time deputies arrived...

The county attorney wrote that a crime scene team found a bullet hole "in a location consistent with Mr. Bragg discharging his firearm at Ms. Donahue as she was ascending the stairs." DNA, fingerprints and witness statements were also "consistent with Ms. Donahue's version of events"...

There are some women that men (and everyone) should stay far, far away from, and she appears to be one of them. Every prior death of someone close to this woman should be investigated.

How does that woman find five guys desirous of marriage to her? Normally black widows go for men of means who generally can afford and are attracted to better looking fare than this one.
