Woman in Castle Rock Charged with Criminal Solicitation for Murder

 
Last month in Castle Rock, WA, a woman was arrested and charged with Criminal Solicitation for Murder. She must have had an extremely bad break-up with her ex-boyfriend, because, according to the article, she had paid a hitman to kill him. The murder was intended to look like a suicide. The ex-boyfriend and father of the woman’s three children was shocked that her feelings had come to this, and I’m sure he is eternally grateful to the person who reported the plot to an officer.
