Something went wrong in a face-to-face meeting with the killer...
34-year-old New Orleans resident Zandra Ellis was sentenced to one and a half years in prison for trying to hire a hitman through a website. Rentahitman.com. According to the girl herself, her main motive was to eliminate her rival.
Rentahitman.com — this is a fake resource created for humorous purposes. The site's page states that it is "100% compliant with the HIPPA law" — referring to the fictional "Killer Data Privacy and Security Act of 1964".
On the site, Ellis left a request under the pseudonym Jasmine Brown. In the questionnaire, she provided detailed information about the victim, including her place of residence, phone number, and even an Instagram account. As a motive, the following was stated:: "I want her dead, because she's trying to kill me."
Interestingly, in the application, Ellis left her real email address (which contains her first and last name), as well as a phone number and even a physical address. The site operator immediately passed the data to the FBI.
A little later, Ellis was contacted by a man named Ace and offered to meet to discuss the details of the "order". Sure enough, the man was an undercover agent. At a meeting at the Waffle House cafe in New Orleans, they agreed on a price of $1,000, Ellis even made a deposit of $100.
According to the convict, she and the victim had children from the same man — some time ago it was on this basis that the conflict arose. "If someone wanted to harm me and my unborn child, they should have died first," Ellis told the agent.
It is interesting that Ellis brought a small child in a stroller to the meeting and had a pistol with live ammunition in her backpack. The weapon was seized during the arrest.
At the conclusion of the trial, the US District Court sentenced Ellis not only to prison, but also to a fine of $100. Website Rentahitman.com it has temporarily stopped operating — this is reported in the ad on the main page.
Ellis story is another reminder of the importance of critical thinking in the Internet age. It should be understood that criminals (especially killers) are unlikely to offer their "services" openly; even on the Darknet, such sites and ads often turn out to be a trap for law enforcement agencies.
