Wendy Lynn Wein, 52, of South Rockford, used a fake website called
"Rent-A-Hitman" to try to solicit the murder of her former husband
on July 17, 2020. She used a pseudonym but entered her real
information at the end of her "service request."
However, the "Rent-A-Hitman" domain was created as a cyber-security
test site. The website's owner contacted Michigan State Police, who
contacted Wein posing as someone from the website.
An undercover detective met with Wein at a cafe, where she said she
wanted to have her ex murdered. She gave the detective his home
address, work address, and work schedule.
She also said she would pay $5,000 for the murder. At a second
meeting that same day, she gave the detective $200 as a downpayment.
Wein was charged with solicitation of murder and using a computer to
commit a crime. She pleaded guilty to both charges on Friday.
Her plea agreement has a cap of 108 months in prison. She will be
sentenced Jan. 13, 2022.
