Thank you for adding the original air date. Impressive.

I find it disturbing when they call the murderers an animal. They are evil monsters. It's an insult to animals.
Animals are subhuman
Animals are better than humans
True. I love animals and never saw any animal behaving like some "humans".
@@hollyhope7227nature is brutal
@@autumnryn Yes, the way we look at it it is true. Selection and survival of the fittest. To be intelligent and social is not enough. Obviously.
Allen Blackthorne died in prison in 2014. He had to be moved from Texas to Alabama shortly after he was imprisoned because another inmate stabbed him multiple times with a screwdriver. He lived on after that, and I like to think that it made him forever keep looking over his shoulder and sleep with one eye open.
I like to think that Sheila would have been happy about that.
Sheila had seemingly moved on, meaning her only concern with Blackthorne was presumably not having him around. Anyone who can walk away without obsessing is in a much better place.
@@jimwerthershe’s dead though.
He got exactly what he deserves and I bet like you said he never had a minute thinking about how the convicts was going to send him up🗡. 💯💪🫡.
And there ain't no golf courses in hell either.
@@oldhickory4686 Maybe there are, but he'll forever be denied membership.
That 911 call from her daughter is hard. I found my father dead at 17 but it was natural causes. I cant imagine being 13 and finding my mom dead of such aweful conditiions
Oh my dear!! My heart aches for you too! 😢😢 Big hugs, doll!
So sorry you had to go through that. I cannot imagine. My condolences to you & yes it’s unimaginable to be that young finding a parent murdered in such a violent manner.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Either would be hard so don't diminish your heartache. Hugging you from Atlanta 🙏
It’s devastating
I found my mother raped & murdered & I was 40 & I STILL have NEVER gotten over it & that was in May 2000, on Mother's Day. To this day, I STILL will NOT leave my home when it begins to get dark, So, I can somewhat understand. Regardless of the manner of Death, you cannot get over it. Well, I have not been able to, anyway.
How could anybody be so determined to take a mother from six children? A very sad group of men…
@@amandam1137
It was looking for trouble; especially since she was aware of his violent nature.
@@maricamaas2326
Why do you insist upon blaming the victim?
@@jimwerther
Had seen other cases like this. The most dangerous time for a DV victim, is when, and after leaving. The only way to get away from someone like this, would be to disappear completely, which is difficult to do (especially with children). To cross swords with this man in a custody battle, was the worst choice she could make.
@@maricamaas2326 threats should be taken seriously, i have to assume the sister told her of the threat made against her life. they should have documented that (reported it to authorities when the threat was made), this might have deterred him from taking the actions that he did.
@@maricamaas2326
She moved 1200 miles away to an unknown address after he completely renounced custody. What was she to do? Live in an armored underground bunker with her kids for the next fifty years? How would she educate them? Get food? Make a living? This is absolutely NOT on the victim.
Allen Blackthorne died in prison in 2014, age 59. No cause of death provided. Stevie is now 39 years old, three years older than her mom was when she was killed. The quadruplets are 25. EDIT! -> Another commenter caught my mistake: The quads are actually 27, and turn 28 in December. My apologies for the error.
Thank you for the update
@@carlambeauty I read he was beaten by a gang and transferred to another location, but it's odd they didn't disclose his cause of death..probably suicide.
@@cgroom23
I don't know.
He probably paid someone to let him out like Epstein
I heard if they die from other inmates, they do not like to release that information
4th wife???? Say no more!
I know right
Yep golddiggers wanted some of his gold
@@lottoo5693Yeah sure, while he was an angel...
@@lottoo5693if you are married 4 times you are the problem.
@@Jojo-pv3uf could be but they still wanted his Gold.
"i play golf five days a week, and play with my family on the weekends." That statement alone tells you where his priorities lie. How kind to take two days off of golfing to be with your family
I didn't catch that, yep...such a family man!
That was such a bad joke and no one dared call him out for how disgusting it was...
Arrogant to the max.
narcissists...it's all about them
His eye contact is TOO extreme. So fake, so obvious that he’s intentionally NOT looking away while talking. Unnatural.
Right, cause he’s lying. Also, when he denied having any to do with her death he used her full name. Who’d refer to someone you love like that?
Stiff. Rehearsed. No blinking, concentrating on his lines
psychopaths stare/ look that way. Very chilling.
Cold dead eyes, trying too hard to be earnest. Have seen it so many times in other sociopaths.
His eyes reminded me of Ted Bundy. Never blinking, black-eyed stare hiding a bit of a smile. Never ever felt sincere.
The worst thing about this crime is how the children got traumatized for life
First that the victim divorced her husband and raised them in a broken home than this
So Alan = insecure control freak sociopath who couldn't take rejection. So full of himself he didnt think he would be caught? life in prison without parole but smiling that Sheila didn't get happy life without him?
Sheila = we have no idea what kind of person she was from this segment. Was she a gold digger? or she came from a rich family?
Alan's wife = She couldn't see through Alan was a murderer? or just pretended to support him knowing he would go to jail and she got all the money?
Either way children are the living traumatize victims here and hope they have been getting therapy.
@@lottoo5693 More often than not a home is broken before a divorce - that's why people get a divorce after all.
@@lottoo5693staying together & raising children in an unhappy home is very traumatizing. It also models unhealthy relationship dynamics which will affect their own future relationships.
@@sarahholland2600 statistics dont back up ur Statement most criminals or drug addicts are from single parent households even tho these households arent the majority
That guy is quite obviously a sociopath. "There is no evidence" is not something innocent people say.
His cold dead eyes said it all to me in the first few minutes of the video.
Really? What do they say? I did it?
@@MasterhpIke"I didn't do it!" That's what they say. They don't bring up evidence or lack thereof; they also don't say they "absolutely" didn't do it "period."
@@angelalalley7593 totally agree. That stood out to me too

What a horrible case. I hope Sheila's family is doing okay these days.
I concur! My hope as well. ❤❤❤

Quadruplets. Mental health professionals will tell you that major trauma can happen even with events that happen at an extremely young age, and must be dealt with in therapy. I wouldn't know, but so I'm told.
@@jimwerther Yes, I have heard the very same. It's just all so...ugh, you know?
Man that 9-1-1 call the daughter Made, made feel sick. That had to mess her up her entire life. Nobody should have to go through something like that
I really hate how they played it multiple times in this episode. It was hard to hear just the once
He was a pure evil narcissist. That smirk on his face while in handcuffs walking into court was sickening.
Blackthorne goes beyond narcissist, to psychopath.
They think they are invincible
Just because he had money & power he wanted to pay to torment his ex wife
👍
This demeanor says it all.
That ex hubby is pure evil
Was. Died at age 59.
Three men who had no qualms about about taking a life to satisfy one man's bruised ego are off the streets for their entire lives. This was justice.
Facts
Hope they get the worst treatment in jail. That would be even better.
Well Said.. 👍..
one of them has been out for nearly 10 years as per the end of this video, unless if he got into trouble again
My goodness, listening to some of those jurors was painful. The evidence is all there, with direct connection to Allen. Some people have no reasoning ability. That lady, I hope, never is involved again with the legal system.
He was a sociopathic narcissist and narcissists have to “win” at all costs. He wanted her dead - not because he actually cared about his children - but because she won total custody made him look bad.
A narcissist cannot be shamed.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Its still difficult to imagine the evil dwelling within the hearts of man. That ex-husband couldn’t stand to see Sheila and her babies live/thrive in peace. It’s my hope, her babies and loved ones are doing well. ❤

I wish I knew more. I hope all are well.

What he did to his own daughters is as bad as his crime.
I wish I hadn't heard that 911 call. That poor girl. Completely gutted. No words...
I cried with her while listening
A UA-camr, Casey Shane, did a 3 part series on Sheila Belush. Allen Blackthorne tortured that poor woman the entirety of their marriage and, obviously, after their divorce. He did much more than struck her one time. He was a monster.
😢 poor sheila and I feel sorry for her children and Jamie
LITERALLY !!
Ann Rule did a book with areal in-depth look at the case, he is completely worthless human being
In a way it worked out perfectly when he hired a private investigator to look for her address which proved Alan was the one who initiated the killing.
Nothing can be hidden.
I haven't run across Casey Shane yet, so thank you in advance for mentioning it!
My psycho ex-husband was also extremely charming. Everybody loved him! It's a narcissist's blinding cover. There are some really charming, dangerous people out there. Friends, just be aware and be careful. 💛
They have to develop appealing personas to attract prey.

My narcissist sociopathic husband too is charming to everyone but me. That is so hard to deal with. I feel your pain
Kids referring to a parent by their full name tells you everything about that parent. Even calling them a sperm- or egg- donor implies a closer connection than the name any stranger would use.
The millionaire husband seems like a time bomb, especially showing anger that seems to rest just below his highly controlled surface. I actually remember the original air date of this episode as well as the America’s Most Wanted airing. Fun to go back in time when seeing Dan Rather and the very young reporter, Peter van Sant.
Yes…. It felt so strange to see Dan and Peter so young. Made me a bit sad and nostalgic.
Can't believe her own father would set her up to find her dead mother
My thoughts too. Shows that him losing custody of his children was the right thing.
Lol guess nobody ever told this guy that staring unblinking while making the entire false statement is like surrounding himself with neon guilty signs 😑
How in the world did he go that long without blinking?😂
@@emoliver80 Like a snake
@@emoliver80 A: rehearsed (rehearsal).
His whole face is so unnerving 😂
I watch these episodes almost daily.. this one was particularly hard to listen to and actually brought me to tears. That poor woman and those poor children. 😭💔
Indeed. Another sad thing is there is a lot of victim blaming on this thread...a few people back up the violent killer and blame the mother trying to protect her children! There are a lot of sick people out there...
All the men, not just the mastermind, were sick individuals. This is what happens when narcissism and greed get into a partnership.
I don’t even want to imagine what the 4 babies have had to go through watching their mother die.
I remember this story when it happened. Ann Rule had written a more intimate story including the court case which she had attended. The trial was riveting. This book was the best true crime book I've read. Ann Rule, Rules.!!
I love Ann Rule’s books. I have read several. Good suggestion.
Me too and I commented above
Ann Rule wrote a really compelling book about Sheila’s story. This man Blackthorn was totally a cold and evil person.
He was a monster
And such a blatant liar.... 😮
You can listen to him speak for a few minutes and now he’s a sociopath. 😮. Sickening.
The sad & ironic thing is, Ann Rule's Life ended very, VERY sadly. Two of her children had embezzled HUGE amounts of money from her. She was in a wheelchair, unable to walk again, after what the Police said was "an extremely suspicious fall". She refused to say how she fell down a flight of stairs. Of her four children, ONLY one was mentioned in her Will.
Yes! Heard about this story from Ann Rule first! One of her best books.
Please tell that one juror to not serve on any other jury. If she thinks people cannot use circumstance and logic to solve questions, if she thinks two witnesses have to hear the guilty actually say "I did it." she is way too dim-witted to serve on a jury.
Ex husband is GUILTY 😑
He's dead anyway.
You can tell he rehearsed his response to the journalist at the beginning. No blinking, leaning forward. His eyes are unsettling AF. The not blinking is a sign he rehearsed it and thought I better keep complete eye contact so they believe my lies! So unsettling
@@jeshkamgood!
@@MsGlitterBombz ..riddance.
This series continued into the new century and beyond because stories like yours were so compelling Sheila and told so well by presenters like Peter.
You know it's bad when your own daughter won't call you dad but your own name.
Poor Stievie, she needs a lot of therapy for finding her mother like that 😢
She's 39 years old now. I imagine that happened long ago.
Keep the episodes coming!
I read that all six children continued to live with their stepfather, and that Stevie went on to college and had a daughter of her own… I hope that she has a successful and happy life
Hearing that 911 call just breaks my heart. Someone knew it would be one of her daughters that found her. They didn’t care. For a few thousand dollars-look at the damage they did. So tragic
So sad Sheila was a beautiful woman. The face of an angel and left those adorable children without their mom 😢

I have always said! Once you are out of their control they no longer love the children. And if they do, it’s to keep a close eye on what you are doing. Thank you God for justice! Someone could of stopped and called it off! The horror of being killed in front of your children! 😢😢😢
That's got to be the worst way to go. Not knowing if your kids are next, and then knowing even if they aren't they're all going to be traumatized. That monster didn't love his kids.
Just read that the ex-husband died in prison in 2014. Guess his life was cut short too. What a senseless crime! The 21-year old young man had his entire life ahead of him, unfortunately that will be in prison.
Not that unfortunate

So sad. So well told. 48hrs is the absolute best at what they do for decades and counting.
Watching the husband deny with an absolute blank face. Is just incredible. I'm glad justice was finally done.
I watched, think maybe he really didn't, but once I saw the smirk behind his eyes, and not blinking, I was convinced.
The 911 call from the daughter is heart wrenching. Those poor children. And 4 wives for dear Alan? Hope those 3 slept with one eye open...O wait, he has OTHERS do the dirty work for him.
*Allen
Buddy, you are as guilty as the day is long!! Way too many coincidences for him not to be guilty, the fact that you hired a private detective to find her…speaks volumes.
The 911 call is so heartbreaking... 🥺😓
We will always support this channel. They're one of the best
The daughter is such a mature lovely young lady. To have to go through that due to her dad and to know it might be him. Its a lot to handle and to be so strong. Bless her and the other children. I hope they are doing well.
I pray for that young girl. The horror of what she witnessed will stay with her forever. The babies will supress what they saw until they are triggered by images still residing deep within their psyche. ❤
She looks like she suffers badly of PTSD. she’s emotionally shut down.
Nobody ever hits a woman in the face and say it was the one and only time they ever abused that woman. It never starts like that. That was her breaking point.
Well said
"There is no evidence that I have any involvement in this whatsoever" he says... (translation: he planned it very carefully and thought he had gotten away with it.) What an evil man or should I say monster.
No evidence? The sheer arrogance in thinking just because you set up an alibi and are playing golf 1000 miles away means you ignore Rocha being the critical link between the actual killer! Hubris.

Fabulous Mum, fabulous woman. Some Justice served Sheila. RIP.
I remember this story as it happened here in Florida. The ex husband had told the murderer that she was abusing the children. In an interview, he stated that as he hid and waited to ambush her, she never hurt those children. The ex husband was a horrible person. It was truly heartbreaking and chilling that those babies crawled all through the bloody crime scene.
Yet he still went in and shot then sliced a woman, with her kids in front of him, because someone asked him to do it for a stranger. He's no better.
It started in Boerne Texas. He was a horribly abusive man. She fled to Florida to get away from him. Sadly, she couldn't run far enough away.

The pain and cruelty inflicted on others for money, worthless money...how incredibly sad for those 6 children, loving husband and family
Just like how Shauna Gardner did to her children by hitman to killing their father in front of their half sister
Doubt whether this was about money... Rather about revenge, after losing custody. Who knows what could happen, after the narcissistic injury of a violent controller?
@maricamaas2326 true, I was speaking from the angle of the actual killers perspective which only brutally killed this woman for the agreement of a few thousand bucks- and the guy that played golf with the narcissistic ex psycho that set this whole thing in motion, for money, through an investment...if those 2 weren't motivated by worthless money this mom may be with her children, we will never know.
So relieved there was finally justice. Sheila's family, oh my goodness 😢💔
It's so sad that Shelia's ex husband Alan Blackmore didn't let her go live her life in happiness and peace. Prayers 🙏😢 for her family and friends.
Like how Shauna Gandrer won't let her ex jared's happiness with his second wife and custody over their twins

@@robs1873Blackthorne is dead anyway…
@@robs1873He died in 2014 in prison.
Alan would not allow Sheila to move on and be happy. She couldn't "win". I know a character like him. This type is more common than one might think.
Well said
Around 30:16 he asks Blackthorn if he had anything to do with this Blackthorn replays " I had absolutely nothing to do with this period" while his head shakes yes. Ppl that study body behaviors especially when ppl r lying is amazing to me cause it's so telling the body is doing it without being aware of it.
Yup, caught that, too.
That stuff is a bunch of nonsense. Certainly without a baseline of his body language it is meaningless. Blackthorne was evil, and now he's dead, and nodding has nothing to do with it.
He did the same thing when talking about the assault at @14:57. He nodded when he admits to hit her and and then shakes his head when telling its the only time he ever hit her. I can imagine there is more.
41:22 Period
Even the way Alan mows the lawn is psychotic. The interview with him is chilling, he’s a very dangerous, evil man. My thoughts and prayers are with Sheila’s family. I hope they all found peace and some sort of closure xx
The way he mows the lawn!! 🤣🤣 I'm dying!! I ran back the video because I needed to see it again. You are too funny!!

It's funny that you mention the golf swing because I thought that too and I'm not even a golfer but I can spot aesthetics. He wobbled after the shot. The swing itself didn't look so bad though. At 41:22 he got his period comment come to haunt him.
These men are so WEAK. It took a team of men to take down 1 woman. May she rest in peace ❤
Well done, 48hrs. Thank you for posting this. I am grateful for the Justice at the end. 🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸
I loved the husband's impact statement! 👏
I love all these full _48 Hours_ episodes being uploaded (I'm not even a big TV viewer, but they're so addictive), but I'd really love to see some more from this era. It was great to see Dan Rather at the start and a younger Peter Van Sant (my favourite correspondent). Surely all the episodes must still exist in an archive.
He died in prison aged 59. He gambled on not getting caught and lost. Those poor 6 children, particularly the older half siblings who were old enough to take it all in and to know their own father did it. In the UK you cannot take children too far away from the other parent on a divorce without consent of the court and good reason. That girlw ho was only 13 years old at the time is one of the true heroines of this story as is the brave bereaved husband and that poor elderly mother.
Well after the outcome of this story it makes perfect sense why she wanted to get those kids far away from that man, the so called “father”
Makes good sense to not be fighting over custody of children; such a battle is bound to bring out the worst in one another. Most of these tragedies could have been prevented had there not been attachments formed with third parties. Remaining single is by far the better option; when compared to one's children having to cope with one parent dead, and another jailed for life.
He gave up custody
@@molliemae6855
He must have experienced this as losing, and as being humiliated?
I don't think Alen cared about his kids at all he just cared about controlling Sheila. The report even said he never once called and checked on his two children after their mother was murdered to make sure they were okay. If he couldn't control her he wanted her dead.
Great reporting 48 hours. I remembered this case and had thought of it. Thank you for bringing it full circle.
Allen had full on psychopath eyes for that whole interview. The man almost never blinks!!
How unsettling for Peter..
Poor girl to find her mother that way 😢 hope all of them find happiness

Actually December 1995, making them 27, but you are essentially correct. Thank you.
With all the money, power, prestige Alan was not happy, could not be happy because he was blinded by hate. What a waste of life.
Some people can't stand losing control of someone. Instead of moving on they inflict horrible pain & constant distress. Diabolical sicko control freaks. Her poor daughter finding her mother, there's not adequate enough punishment available.

I'm thinking about Sheila's children, especially Stevie who found her mother's body. I hope she found a way to move on and has had a good life filled with love.

Absolutely horrible. Yes their is justice but it won’t bring back the Moms baby, sister and the babies will never know their mother. Unbelievably strong Dad!

The problem is the money system. It turns good men into bad men and that includes us for the most part.
When a psycho speaks you can’t believe them, needless to say but most of us don’t know how to process the indignity or lack of empathy.
I remember when this happened, it was so incredibly sad 😢💔
"My wife is awesome. My kid's are great". While shaking head no. I already don't trust this guy.
Seems most of the serial killers depicted had to develop personalities that could attract their prey (Ted Bundy? Etc.)
The "Original" Forty Eight Hours offers a beautifully arranged CELO introduction. THIS IS A POOR COPY.
WILL THERE (EVER) BE JUSTICE FOR THE INTERNET VIEWERS ?
NOPE; THIS IS ANOTHER HIJACKED VIDEO CLIPS FROM THE ORIGINAL FORTY EIGHT HOURS MOST EXCELLENT SHOW!

So excited to be mother of 6, I just love her 😢
After giving up all parental rights?? How then were you so concerned about your children? What an evil person
Allen has Bundy eyes
This husband looks so evil and cold !
The jury did their job very well and thoroughly and they really put the pieces together, well done 👏🏼💕
That one Jury lady who had doubts about his guilt really irritated me because it was plain as day
@@prettyhot1 I find her so weird. How on earth could she, a woman, sit there with a smirk talking about she "didn't think she was meant to die." How? HOW??
So sad for the young children. ): so distressing.
Stevie is 39 years old, three years older than her mom was when she was killed. The quadruplets are 25. EDIT! -> 27.
The quadruplets are born in 1995, so they are 28 now.

Born December 1995, so 27. I stand corrected.
Blackthorne has a nice, cozy corner of hell waiting for him.
