Ex NFL player and adulterous lady-killer Buster Barnett has been extricated out of a classically sticky romantic triangle in a most violent manner…
His jealous lover shot his wife to death this week, then turned the gun on herself and did the same.
As a result, the former Buffalo Bills player no longer *needs* to sneak around and fret over which woman he should take to dinner now -- or , in this sad case, who will be accompanying him on a trip-for-two to Las Vegas.
Georgia police think the upcoming Vegas excursion is what prompted Barnett’s 46-year-old jilted paramour, Lisa Brown, to kidnap Barnett’s 50-year-old spouse at gunpoint, then perpetrate a homicide/suicide in one last fit of rage.
The scorned woman was reportedly mentally unstable and had been harassing Sandra Barnett for months, if not years, according to the slain woman’s best friend, Ruby Chester.
“Lisa Brown had been aggressive toward Barnett and had been bothering Barnett off and on for some time,” Chester claims. “Showing up at the house, texting her, calling her.”
Chester also says she was on the phone with the victim when she heard Brown barge in and threaten her life, but she was out of the country at the time and dialed the wrong police department.
Chester says once she realized the error she called a mutual acquaintance instead who immediately drove over to check out the situation; by which time events had begun to rapidly, and fatally, spiral.
The man wrote down plate numbers of a dark SUV suspiciously parked at the residence, notified police that Sandra Barnett wasn’t answering her cell or front door, and, while waiting for officers to respond, saw the suspect’s vehicle drive by.
Police say it was the victim’s brother who first identified the SUV as belonging to Buster Barnett’s alleged “ex-girlfriend and that he further advised them “she had some issues.”
The next day, investigators spotted Lisa Brown in that same vehicle with an apparent hostage, and, after cornering her in neighboring Alabama, an armed standoff ensued during which she shot Barnett point blank, and then herself.
Both women were found inside the vehicle, dead from gunshot wounds.
Police reports indicate that, when ex NFL player Barnett was questioned, he initially told detectives he owned the home Brown lived in as well as her death-mobile, but only because he was “helping her out.”
Eventually, though, he admitted to being in a relationship with the suicidal shooter at the time she had abducted his wife and later gunned her down.
