Murder-For-Hire SMS Plot Unfolds
We couldn’t make this one up if we tried. Tonia Mullins wanted to kidnap and murder her lover’s wife, so she decided to hire a hit man—by text message.
As Wired reports, the 32-year-old Oklahoma woman texted a prospective hire by saying “Don’t care who as long as they can in no way be traced 2 me or u guys through someone else,” and “Price is going 2 be the big factor here. What r we lookin at?”
According to prosecutors, Mullins and her lover, 26-year-old Michael Andrew Crawford, an army soldier deployed to South Korea, planned to use Jacinda Crawford’s $250,000 life insurance policy to buy a nice house and move in together. After an informant tipped off police, Mullin’s friend introduced her to an undercover agent with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation posing as a hit man.
