Killer Wife Hires Ex to Murder Her Husband _ Then Pretends to Be the Victim

A newlywed wife's plot to have her husband killed was exposed by a sting operation, after she allegedly tried to hire a hitman for just $400 [citation:1]. Dalia Dippolito, who had been married for only six months, was caught on hidden camera paying $1,200 and providing a photo of her husband to an undercover officer [citation:1][citation:2]. She told the fake hitman she was "5,000 percent sure" she wanted it done [citation:1][citation:2]. Police then staged a fake murder scene and filmed Dippolito's dramatic, tearful reaction when they told her husband was dead. She claimed the entire plot was a hoax for reality TV fame [citation:1][citation:2].
