Michigan woman solicits killing in rental hit man site
And learned what a bad idea that was too
-A Michigan woman who wanted her ex-husband murdered tried to hire a killer via the farcical web site rentahitman.com, police allege.
According to investigators, Wendy Wein, 51, this month filled out a service request form on the site, which describes itself as your point & click solution and boasts of 17,985 U.S. Based Field Operatives. Site visitors are assured that Rent-A-Hitman is compliant with provisions of the 1964 Hitman Information Privacy & Protection Act (HIPPA).
A recent update on Rent-A-Hitman noted that, We are still open during the COVID-19 pandemic, though our Wuhan offices will be working on a reduced schedule.
The form Wein submitted to the web site identified her former spouse as the intended victim, prompting Rent-A-Hitmans operator to contact the Michigan State Police since it appeared Wein was serious about soliciting a murder.
