Dentist admits killing wife, girlfriend 14 years apart

42 year old Barton Corbin pleaded guilty to two counts of malice murder. In 1990 Barton's girlfriend's death was thought to be a suicide. 14 years later when Barton's wife appears dead they believe that was a suicide too. Both deaths were by a single gunshot wound with the weapon near by the crime scene. In 1990 Barton killed his girlfriend Dorothy Hearn when they had been dating for over a year but they were breaking up at the time. In 2004 Barton's wife Jennifer Corbin wife was found dead as they were about to go through a divorce, and Jennifer had sued for custody of their sons.
It is obvious this man has problems dealing with failing relationships and his only way of dealing with it is by killing the person he had loved at one time. Unfortunately he now will face life in prison for killing two innocent people and leaving their families to grieve for their loved ones. In the end, justice is served for these families by knowing the truth.
