While it was initially believed that she died from blunt-force trauma to the head, investigators later discovered that she had been shot. As detectives probed further, evidence initially pointed towards Barsock’s boyfriend.
It was eventually discovered though that Barsock’s “best friend,” Larene Eleanor Austin, was responsible for her murder. Larene allegedly overheard a dispute between Barsock and her boyfriend, Louis Bonheuer, prior to the murder. Larene was sentenced to 50 years in prison for taking Barsock’s life.
