Florida woman arrested for trying to pay hitman $5,000 to kill her ex-husband
Authorities in Sarasota, Florida say that a 34-year-old woman, Rachael Leahy, is behind bars after she allegedly offered a hitman $5,000 to kill her ex-husband, David Joseph Leahy Jr., 59.
According to the ABC Action News, just two weeks ago, police officials received an anonymous tip about a woman wanting to kill her ex-husband so that she could get custody of their children.
Manatee County police officials immediately appointed an undercover officer for the mission and were able to make contact with Rachael during a sting operation.
It was not long after until the undercover officer was able to gain Rachael’s trust as she instantly began discussing payments for having her ex-husband murdered.
She reportedly offered the hitman $5,000 to get the job done.
