LOUISIANA (KLFY) –  A Louisiana woman is wanted for second degree murder in what some describe as a bizarre case made for a TV movie.

Meshell Hale, 50, from Slaughter, is accused of killing two men, Arthur Noflin of Baton Rouge, and Damian Skipper of Breaux Bridge.
She claims she was married to both men.

Hale allegedly poisoned her husband, Arthur Noflin of Baton Rouge in March 2016. 
Noflin’s body was found burned in his own truck, in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans.
He previously had been experiencing health issues and was hospitalized. 
The New Orleans Coroner and Police Department then contacted the East Baton Rouge Coroner about a strange link. 

“We discovered some suspicious activity surrounding that death (Noflin), and said that there’s a possibility that there could be a link between that death and the death of Damian Skipper,” said Dr. William “Beau” Clark, East Baton Rouge Coroner. 

Hale claimed to have been previously married to the Breaux Bridge man, Damian Skipper in 2015.
Skipper died in June of 2015.
The hospital originally classified his death as a heart attack, after he presented similar symptoms as Noflin.

After new information and leads about Noflin’s death, the coroner’s office performed an autopsy on Skipper’s body to see if the cases could be connected.

“So we did an excavation of the body, and did a very very specific toxicology test, because we were looking for a substance called barium acetate, which is not a chemical you normally look for. Of course when we did the toxicology analysis of Mr. Skipper, we found toxic levels in his system,” said Clark.

“So you guys are classifying this (Skipper’s death) as?” questioned KLFY’s Lester Duhe’.

“As a homicide, correct. The manner of death is a homicide. The cause of death is the toxicity of the barium acetate,” said Clark.

Officials say hale collected $10,000 from Skipper’s life insurance policy after his death.

Family members tell News 10 investigators searched her electronics and found evidence she purchased barium acetate, and looked up things such as “heart-stopping drugs.”

That information led authorities to exhume Skipper’s body in May to perform that autopsy, and as we reported, the EBR coroner re-classified his death as a homicide.
