Killer Wife Tries To Hire A Hitman For _400 _ Doesn_t Realize He_s An Undercover Cop

A young wife's chilling plan to have her husband murdered for a $400,000 life insurance policy was caught on tape when she met with a hitman who turned out to be an undercover cop. Julia Merfeld, 21, from Michigan, laughingly discussed the details of the hit with the undercover officer, providing maps and a sketch of her home, and even asking whether the killing would be messy. She pleaded guilty and faced a six-year sentence, a shocking end for a plot she admitted was easier than getting a divorce.
