Ex-NFL/JSU player’s alleged mistress kills wife, self after kidnapping

ATLANTA, Georgia -- A former NFL player's wife was kidnapped by his alleged lover and killed in a murder-suicide along an Alabama interstate Thursday, according to reports.

Sandra Barnett, who was married to former Buffalo Bills player Buster Barnett, was shot dead nearly 24 hours after being forced from her Ellenwood, Ga., home, WXIA reported.

The 49-year-old victim, identified as a middle school special needs teacher, had been heard arguing with a woman during a phone call with a co-worker moments before she vanished around noon Wednesday, AL.com reported citing a police report.

Barnett was reportedly heard saying "please don't hurt me." She also didn't seem to know the person she was arguing with.
