Jab pyar kiya to darna kya?
Melody Sasser from Tennessee has been arrested by police authorities after she had tried to hire a hitman to murder the wife of a man she had met on a dating app.
People Magazine reported that Sasser met the man on Match.com. After finding out that he had recently gotten engaged, the woman responded with “I hope you both fall off a cliff and die”, according to the alleged target’s complaint to the police.
She also revealed that Sasser had shown up to their resident unannounced after learning about the couple’s engagement, reporting that she found her vehicle damaged, and began receiving threatening calls that couldn’t be traced.
Authorities also found out that Sasser was tracing the whereabouts of the victim and her husband through a fitness app on their Garmin watches.
According to court documents, Sasser plotted the murder of the wife by placing a $10,000 order on the website Online Killers Market on Jan 11, 2023, using the username “cattree”, to have the spouse of the man she met murdered.
“It needs to seem random or accident[al]. Or plant drugs, do not want a long investigation. She recently moved in with her new husband,” the murder-for-hire request reads.
Then again in March, she sent a follow-up message, complaining about how long it was taking to hire a hit-man:
“I have waited for 2 months and 11 days and the job is not completed… does it need to be assigned to someone else? Will it be done? What is the delay?”
The police were immediately alerted to the murder’s request and traced Sasser’s location, as well as informed the intended target and her husband about the failed murder plot. Sasser is currently being charged with attempted murder.
