Cheap shot: Cops say Wisconsin woman offered $1,000, sex to kill fiance

Story here. Excerpt:

'A Wisconsin woman offered a hitman $1,000 — and sex — to kill her fiance, cops say.

Jessica Strom, 33, of Wausau, was arraigned Monday on a charge of conspiracy to commit to first-degree homicide.

Late last month she hatched her plan to kill her beau, John Schellpfeffer, according to court documents posted to The Smoking Gun.

Strom allegedly met with an acquaintance who she knew through Northcentral Technical College on Feb. 26, telling him she had a “business proposal.”

“Would you ever kill anybody?” she asked, according to documents.

Cops said the friend, whose name was redacted from court papers, replied he could never do that.
...
“Don’t tell anyone about this,” she allegedly said. “I don’t want to have to kill you too.”

That’s when the acquaintance decided to alert cops.

Cops said it never became clear why Strom wanted Schellpfeffer dead, only saying her fiance was “a really bad person who has done bad things.” She said she’d plotted the murder for two years, according to cops.
...
He could simply “blow his brains out and walk out,” Strom said, according to police.

The next time they met the informant asked for $50,000 to do the job — but then was talked down to $1,000, according to documents.

“It’s better than nothing, I guess,” the informant said.

“And some sex!” Strom said, according to papers. After the murder she allegedly pledged to meet with the informant and “pay you and f--- you and whatever.”

She is being on $250,000 bond and faces up to 60 years behind bars.'
