Woman allegedly paid to hire hitman to kill wife of her dating match

Source: ABC News

A Tennessee woman allegedly paid to hire a hitman to kill the wife of a man she met on a dating site, according to a criminal complaint.

Melody Sasser was arrested May 18 and is being held in custody on probable cause that she allegedly attempted murder for hire. She is accused of transferring about $10,000 in bitcoin to a site named "Online Killers Market" in exchange for the murder of the wife of the man she met on the dating site, federal agents said in the complaint dated May 11.

Sasser and the man she met on Match.com had become hiking friends, according to the complaint. But when Sasser's match revealed he was moving out of state with the woman he planned to marry, Sasser allegedly turned to the dark web, the complaint said. Under the pseudonym "cattree," Sasser allegedly posted her hit order on the website, authorities said.

'Ain't no **** that good!" (You may put in your erotic preference.) As a rock and roller who was in bands for almost 40 years I can tell you that there are times when you might want to think that. When you see someone who just flips all the switches on sight. Don't fall for it. I have seen far too many guys and gals toss a career away because they could not keep their **** out of it. I have seen too many people end up in trouble because they thought they were getting with someone special only to find out it was someone already spoken for or worse, under age. And, all because they could not stop thinking with the little head. (I apologize for the language but it is the facts.)

You know if this was a male Dr. ordering a hit on his wife it wouldn’t have made the news.
Am I right?

seems like a doctor trying to hire someone VIA THE INTERNET to kill someone is certainly newsworthy regardless of gender

Kill the wife, steal her man.

Let's see how many commandments does that break:
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not covet
Thou shalt not commit adultery

And in the process probably broke the
Thou shalt not bear false witness

5/10: not bad for one crime!!


ETA
(I also wonder how much the husband was involved in this scheme and whether it was his idea in the frist place)
