Claude Barlow

Claude Barlow was an abductor and attempted murderer, and the accomplice of serial killer Antonia Slade. He appeared in Devil's Backbone.

Background
Because of a history of violent behavior, Claude was put in therapy. His therapist was Antonia Slade, who he soon developed a fixation towards. When Antonia was outed as a serial killer and arrested, he became even more unstable and began wandering around the prison she was held in, in an effort to see her again. He eventually managed to establish written communication with her, in which they exchanged coded letters under the guise of letters sent by groupies. In 2014, Antonia, seizing a possible opportunity at freedom, manipulated Claude into abducting boys and holding them captive. He did so, abducting Adam Morrissey and Jimmy Bennett and holding them captive in a shed at his property.

Modus Operandi
Little is known about Claude's M.O., including how he managed to find his victims. What is known is that he targeted runaways just like Antonia did, abducted them, and held them captive in a shed located on his property. He kept them alive long enough until Antonia gave him his next orders, which were to transport the boys to Kentucky and kill them by shooting them. Though he took his victims to Kentucky as instructed, he ultimately failed to kill them.
