Deborah Dobius Life After His Death:

The tragic death of  Barry Seal sank Deborah Dubois in sorrow when the authorities seized her husband’s property and belongings because of his involvement in illegal trafficking activities. Deborah and her child get on Barry’s life insurance to move to a modest life. Their lives changed from luxurious to modest in just days. 

Debora addresses the rumors circulating on social media that millions of dollars are in Barry’s accounts. She said, “If he makes million dollars he kept them away from us.”

After years of Barry’s death, Debora wants to know the truth behind her husband’s death. Because of many strange similarities, one of her husband’s killers. An unnamed man spoke three times to Deborah and asked her to visit him to find out who killed her husband. But the communication dropped out before the man disclosed too much.

In a discussion with American Made producers(dramatizing the real story of Barry Seal in 2017), said that logically, if Cartel did Barry’s murder, why could he tell me about it?” I think it’s a deathbed confession.

These days, Deborah lives away from the public eye. She shone after the release of American Made. And she already revealed too much about his personal life in a meeting with the producers of American Made. Deborah said she has an introverted personality, so didn’t want to be a public figure. That’s why she is not even on social media. Deborah wants to live her life privately. Nowadays, she is living with her daughter Christina.
