Not many people will remember the name Buster Barnett from his playing days in the NFL. But the four-year tight end with the Buffalo Bills will now be linked to a bizarre tragedy arising from his personal life.
As explained by NBC affiliate WXIA, Barnett’s mistress kidnapped his wife on Wednesday, showing up at the home of Sandra Barnett, 54, in a vehicle owned by Buster. Sandra Brown, 49, drove off with Sandra Barnett.
Police spotted the SUV on Thursday, and began chasing it on Interstate 20, from Georgia into Alabama. At one point, Brown abruptly stopped the car, shot and killed Sandra Barnett, and then shot and killed herself.
