The New Hampshire Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously upheld the murder convictions of Sheila LaBarre who killed two boyfriends at her horse farm in Epping.

At her 2008 trial, LaBarre was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison after admitting that she killed Kenneth Countie in 2006 and a former boyfriend, Michael Deloge, the yearbefore that. LaBarre had unsuccessfully pleaded insanity.

At the center of her appeal, was the legality of the police search, but the high court determined that the search was justified because Countie's family had made numerous calls to police to express concerns that LaBarre might be harming him and authorities had reason to be concerned about his

safety.

When police arrived at LeBarre’s horse farm, they found a burn pile that contained  human remains.

LaBarre arrived home as police kicked in the back door, the court recounted in its ruling. She gave police permission to search the house and told the officers that the bone they saw in the burn pile belonged to a rabbit she had cremated.

When when they observed that the bone was too large to have come from a rabbit, LaBarre said it was from "either a rabbit or a pedophile."
