Woman Arrested After Posting Ad To Kill Boyfriend's Wife

A woman has been arrested after she tried to hire a hitman to murder her married lover's wife by posting an ad online.

48-year-old Anne Marie from Grand Rapids, Michigan said she wanted to hire someone to kill Carol, a 56-year-old woman in California, in a vaguely worded free ad under the category of "Freelance."

Two women and one man responded to the ad, with at least one person believing it to be an offer for freelance writing work. During following emails, Anne Marie cleared up the task was actually a hit job.

"Marie informed one of the people who responded that she was looking for 'silent assassins' and she asked him to eradicate a targeted victim," court documents say. She offered 5,000 dollars for the job and provided the address, name, age and occupation of the man's wife.

"Asked what she meant by 'eradicate,' Anne Marie said 'Duh. Well to have her killed," the documents said.

The potential victim's husband acknowledged meeting the woman through an on-line course and said the pair met for sex on at least two separate occasions.
