Who is Lee Boyd Malvo's wife? Sable Noel Knapp was arrested for BLM protest and donated to Bernie Sanders
Lee Boyd Malvo, serving four life sentences without parole, has opened up about his 2002 killing spree in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia that victimized a total of 13 people -- White and Black, young and old, well-off and working-class. Malvo also reportedly boasted about him and accomplice John Allen Muhammad’s relationship and how they used to have “exceptionally exciting” sex after murdering innocent people. The duo gunned down ten people and left another three injured during a 22-day killing spree almost two decades ago.
The 36-year-old, also known as John Lee Malvo, spoke to the creators of a new documentary -- ‘I, Sniper’ -- which is premiering on Monday, May 10. He told them, “It is unnatural to kill anything. But once you've done it the first time, it becomes easier each time. I was a thief. I stole people's lives. What inside me made that possible?”

Malvo also described his struggles and issues while growing up in Jamaica as he was left by his father and his mother used to abuse him. But in 1999 as a teenager, he shifted to Antigua and met Muhammad, who became a father figure as well as his lover. The 41-year-old Gulf War veteran wanted to take revenge on the military, White people, and his own family as he had terrorized his wife and kids with murder and kidnapping threats. According to Malvo, he was also a victim of Muhammad, who used him to punish his “enemies”. “Muhammad was master puppeteer. I was an instrument,” he added.
The murderous duo was eventually arrested on October 24, 2002, at a rest stop off Interstate 70 near Myersville, in Maryland. While Malvo was awarded multiple life sentences without the possibility of parole, Muhammad was executed in 2009 when he was 48. During serving his time behind bars at Red Onion State Prison in Virginia, Malvo also tied the knot with Sable Noel Knapp on March 6, 2020, in a jailhouse ceremony.
Who is Sable Noel Knapp?
Knapp is a 31-year-old granddaughter of a wealthy real estate developer from Iowa. She is also reportedly an outspoken activist who has contributed huge sums of money to causes. Knapp also doesn't have a clean record as in 2016, she was taken into custody for blocking a roadway during a Black Lives Matter protest in Portland, Oregon. Her lawyer at the time told The Daily Beast that she is “really committed to social activism, for sure, and I think she was always looking for ways to make changes”.
According to reports, Knapp also gave $106,250 to Cathy Glasson in 2017 when she was running for the office of Governor of Iowa. Not just that, she gave “thousands of dollars” to Bernie Sanders and Marianne Williamson in the past. A post written by Knapp previously, stated: “Marianne Williamson is by far the most qualified presidential candidate to guide us in developing the insight and emotional resilience we need in America to build a truly beautiful future together.”
In addition, she is also the co-author of a book titled 'You Are The Change: A Beginner's Guide to Socially Responsible Investing' and writer of a number of blog posts with headlines like 'Expand Personal Compassion To Break Cycle Of Violence Caused By Division' and 'Water is Our Shared Lifeblood'.
