A Michigan woman could face up to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty Friday to felony attempted murder-for-hire for attempting to find an assassin through a website to kill her lover’s
wife. Ann Marie Linscott, 49, of Rockford, Mich., pleaded guilty in federal court in Grand Rapids to three counts of using the Internet for intended murder. Linscott met an Oroville,
Calif., man through an online college course, grew intimate with e-mails and phone calls and became a long-distance lover in 2005 after a two-day tryst in Reno. In late 2007 she placed an
advertisement on the craigslist website offering a “freelance” job opportunity. The three people who responded discovered in the course of e-mail correspondence that Linscott was trying to
hire someone to “eradicate” the Oroville man’s wife. She offered $5,000 to pull it off. All three reported Linscott to authorities. A date for Linscott’s sentencing has not been set. -- Eric
