Taber, three hours southeast of Calgary.She was married, had a family, worked as a realtor and died three years ago at the age of 81.It was only after her death on January 21, 2022 that her secret life and her real name was made public.Glabus was in fact a fugitive killer and prison escapee named Sharon Kinne in a case that began in the 1960s and stretched from Missouri to Mexico to Canada.Kinne, who married at 16, was living in a ranch home in the Independence, Missouri, area in March 1960 when her 25-year-old husband, James Kinne, was shot in the back of the head while napping. Independence is just outside of Kansas City.The mother of two told police she had heard her 2-year-old daughter ask, “How does this thing work, daddy?” Then there was a gunshot.Sharon Kinne said she ran into the bedroom and found the toddler holding her husband’s .22-caliber semiautomatic pistol.

The death was ruled accidental.But Kinne, also known as Jeanette Pugliese, and her husband had been having marital problems, and she was seeing other men, later court testimony revealed.According to press reports and interviews with investigators, Sharon Kinne then met car salesman Walter Jones when she went to buy a new car with money from her husband’s life insurance and the sale of their home.She tried to get him to break off the marriage.“Of course he said no,” said Sgt. Dustin Love of the Jackson County Sheriffs Office at a joint news conference with Kansas City Police on Thursday.Sharon Kinne then duped Jones’ wife, Patricia, into meeting with her in May 1960, after which she disappeared, Love said.A massive search ensued for the woman.
