Shocking details emerge, including how Sara secretly hired a private investigator to prove Fred’s affair with a stripper, and her discovery of confidential documents exposing money-laundering schemes tied to nightclubs and front businesses connected to drug cartels. What first appeared to be a random carjacking completely unraveled when hitman Curtis Rower confessed that he had been hired through Eddie Lawrence, Fred’s business associate, in a chilling conspiracy to silence Sara forever.In this episode, you’ll learn how a household filled with abuse and manipulation can escalate into a murder-for-hire plot, how a criminal attorney like Fred became entangled in illegal enterprises, and why a wife who knows too much can become a lethal threat. You’ll also learn the basic money-laundering techniques carried out through legitimate businesses, the patterns of financial control in toxic relationships, and how the criminal underworld often intersects with families that appear perfectly normal on the surface.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/criminal--6152643/support.
