True Crime Documentary - Click for a Killer The Deadly Online Connection

Now, a special two-part edition of 48 Hours.

I really hadn't even heard of the dark web before.

It's just scary. It's a scary movie to me.

This is terrifying. And it's as easy as going to Amazon. a few clicks and you could hire a hitman.

You go to the website and you send an email. Who you want dead, who you want hurt, they'll tell you how much money it's going to cost and you pay for it.

Well, the dark web is everywhere.

It's all over the world. It's got no borders.

I'm very familiar with the dark web and all the cyber crime it contains. I discovered there's a lot of sick people out there. And there are people around the world in danger.

And I had to do something about it.

On the dark web, everybody's anonymous. It's like a parallel internet. And sometimes we call it the internet's evil twin because it is a place of absolute lawlessness. What makes it dangerous is that it can't be policed.

On the dark web, you can buy and sell drugs.

Any drug you want.

You can buy weapons.

Human trafficking.

Pornography of the most depraved types.

And sometimes I've seen people trying to kill people.

Hitmen for hire advertise their services on the dark web.

The Cosa Nostra is the proven, legitimate, deep web eBay of crime. We offer you services to beat up, set fire, or kill customer targets.

Hi, my name is Yura. We have hundreds of gang members, criminals, and people who love to kill for money. They are anonymous. You are anonymous. So come and get rid of those nasty problems.

This is deadly serious. This is talking about the murder of a human being.

You know, when you pay $ 10, 000 to get someone killed.

These are dangerous people.

These are messages from the user known as DogDayGod, one of the most notorious users of the website.

What's the first sentence that DogDayGod writes?

I'm looking to hire you for a hit.

911, what's the address of the emergency?

I think my wife shot herself. There's blood all over.

It took me about six minutes to get to the house. It soon became clear that it was not a suicide. Someone had killed her. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother who had many friends.

I mean, my friend was taken from me. It's like road rage 10 times, but through the internet. That's just too close to me. It scares me to death.

Tonight, we're going to take you on one of the strangest journeys ever on 48 Hours. It's a murder investigation that begins not far from here in small town Minnesota. and then takes us to here in Texas, here in California, to here in Tennessee, to 4,000 miles away here in London. 48 Hours explores the alarming world of murder for hire on the dark web and follows the story wherever it leads to expose an international criminal organization and hunt for a murder mastermind across the globe Named Yura. How recently has Yura threatened your life?

Well, I think it was about a week ago.

I'm going to take this guy down.

I will be waiting for you on the deep web.

48 Hours.

Murder on the Dark Web.

Reported by Peter Van Sant.

A hitman marketplace is like any other auction site. It brings customers and vendors together.

You're looking at a man who says he's behind an international murder empire named Besa Mafia. He calls himself Yura. His real name is unknown.

Any hitman is welcome to sign up, but not all will be accepted.

His website invites would-be killers to send him hitman audition tapes. What you are about to see can't be verified because it was anonymously posted online. Is this a real hit?

If one searches online for I quote, shot dead on street. One will find plenty of news about people being shot dead in the street by unknown people that shoot and leave the site. Those are our hitmen. We will be waiting for you to come place your orders and get rid of your problems.

Yura's ominous brand of high-tech terror extends from an unknown location to the smartphones, tablets, and laptops of Middle America. In fact, we discovered Yura and his hitman-for-hire website while investigating the shooting death of Amy Allwine in the Minneapolis suburb of Cottage Grove, Minnesota. Amy and her husband Stephen, both 43, seem to live a quintessential American life, surrounded by friends, family, and dogs. Lots of them.

Yes, good boy!

Nice job!

Amy ran a dog training business, while Stephen, a freelance IT expert, worked from their home. They were college sweethearts, married in 1996, and eventually adopted a young boy. Joseph is now 10.

When she talked about her son, her face changed from happy to happier, if that's possible.

Always thinking of others, Amy was the salt of the earth, says her friend, Jane Sharp.

You could look in her eyes and just see good.

Faith was important too, says Washington County prosecutor, Jamie Kreiser.

They were members of the United Church of God, as were all of their family members.

Stephen, a respected elder in the church, delivered sermons, counseled couples, and even made videos with Amy demonstrating dance moves that complied with their conservative religious beliefs. But sometime, somewhere, warm-hearted Amy Allwine had made an enemy. In the spring of 2016, long before we began our investigation, The FBI learned about a murder-for-hire site called Besa Mafia, people paying for other people to be killed, and began looking into it. Pouring over that treasure trove of dark web data, FBI agents were startled to learn that dozens of people had ordered contract killings all over the world. But one in particular stood out. Someone using the chilling screen name Dog Day God had ordered the assassination of a woman in Cottage Grove, Minnesota.

Her name, Amy Allwine.

It was a case where the FBI had approached us about some concerns regarding Amy and threats on the internet.

Cottage Grove Police Captain Randy McAllister. Dog Day God says, I need this bitch dead. So please help me. There was an urgency.

Right.

Dog Day God is sort of chomping at the bit for this to happen.

Dog Day God said, Amy has ruined my life and stolen my business.

Eileen Ormsby, an Australian writer and CBS News consultant, learned about the Allwine case while researching a book about the dangers of the dark web.

So here we have hacking services, stolen PayPals and credit cards. The dark web is the name that we give to the group of websites that can't be accessed using Google or any of your normal search engines. You need to download special software and then it opens up this new world to you. The technology behind it was actually developed by the US military to hide military secrets. So that sort of security obviously offers criminals great security as well.

The killing of Amy Allwine had been ordered on that hitman website, Besa Mafia.

Yura is the owner of Besa Mafia and subsequent websites that are the most profitable group of murder-for-hire sites that have ever existed.

Ever existed?

Ever existed.

Ormsby's research led her to a like-minded colleague half a world away in London. Chris Montero, IT specialist by day, white hat hacker by night, had also found Besa Mafia.

If you pass the barrier of having paid money to get someone killed, you are mentally committed to doing that.

Chris didn't want us or our footage to reveal the location of his apartment.

The people who would use this website are, in many cases, dangerous people.

Because these are people who genuinely want to have someone else murdered.

Yes, and in many cases are paying a significant amount of money for this.

Dog Day God spent a lot of money to have Amy Allwine murdered.

Dog Day God wanted her dead badly enough to pay Yura and the Besa Mafia site more than $ 12, 000 in the digital currency Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is an online currency.

Even financial transactions are made anonymously on the dark web, says prosecutor Kreiser.

Bitcoin is untraceable because when you use Bitcoin, it is done through what is called a wallet.

And so once I get a Bitcoin wallet, I can use that to pay for these services on the dark web.

That is correct.

Even murder.

That's right.

With the hit against Amy bought and paid for, the FBI had to tell her and Stephen the frightening news.

I believe it was May 31st of 2016.

Cottage Grove detective Terry Raymond rode along with the FBI that day.

Well, we brought her into an interview room.

You had to ask the The question, Amy, do you know anyone in your life who would want you dead?

Right.

And she didn't.

She was completely shocked and had no clue who it could possibly be.

Raymond says at the time, the FBI never mentioned anything to him or the Allwines about Yura, Besa Mafia, or Dog Day God. But they told her there was a murder-for-hire plot against her on the dark web.

It was the FBI's investigation. They have people that are familiar with the dark web. Other than an extra patrol thing, it's not something we would get involved in.

The authorities advised Amy and her husband to beef up their home security and then left.

They installed a video surveillance system and they purchased a pistol. So they had taken steps.

And Amy Allwine, from that point on, lived with this knowledge that someone wanted her dead.

Then, two months later, In July 2016, Amy got another death threat, this time sent directly to her. Amy, I still blame you for my life falling apart. Here is what is going to happen. I will come after everything else that you love. Suddenly, the threat to kill hung over Amy's entire family, including her son Joseph, then eight years old. Here is how you can save your family.

Commit suicide. So why not do it now and save them? Now, how seriously do you take this threat?

You have to investigate it as much as you can. The problem is the email was sent from was anonymized, so it was untraceable. And so the house is up here on the left.

But someone did want Amy Allwine dead. And soon enough, she would be.

911, what's the address of the emergency?

Sergeant Gwen Martin was just starting the night shift on November 13th, 2016.

911, what's the.

Address of the emergency?

When a 911 call came in, that made many on the Cottage Grove Police Department drop what they were doing.

The caller was telling them that a female had shot herself.

I think my wife shot herself.

There's blood all over.

We get in the squad cars and we start going to the scene. The adrenaline is pumping.

Your heart's beating fast.

As an 18-year veteran patrol cop and experienced paramedic, Martin says she was trained to be ready for anything. But nothing had prepared her for a message she received from dispatch about halfway through her six-minute drive to the scene.

I knew it was Amy.

Martin had grown fond of Amy Allwine after teaching her in an eight-week course for citizens to learn about law enforcement and emergency services. They'd last seen each other just two weeks earlier at graduation.

My heart stopped. No, this isn't possible. Amy wasn't suicidal. Amy was happy. She had a husband. She had a son. What possibly could be going on?

As Martin rounded a final curve on the pitch black country road, the taillights of first responders at the scene appeared in her windshield.

And that's the house there.

Yep, that's the house there.

She says she entered the house still hoping that the female... might be someone other than Amy. And what did you see?

I saw Amy lying on the floor, a pool of blood, a blank look on her face, obviously dead.

Amy Allwine was sprawled on the bedroom floor. Her eyes were open, her pants partially unzipped.

And I started crying. My mind was spinning. I was whirling with disbelief, with shock.

Martin called Captain Randy McAllister at his home. He rushed to the scene, passing the all-wine son, Joseph, outside the house. The boy was being comforted by his father, Stephen. Did you happen to notice or did any of the officers describe his demeanor?

At that point, no. He appeared calm to me.

McAllister says he expected to find a suicide. But once in the house, his nose detected something strange. A pumpkin was roasting in the kitchen. So the notion would be that Amy Allwine put a pumpkin in the roaster, put it in the oven, and then shot herself.

Yeah, yeah, so that was really odd.

It doesn't look like a suicide.

Amy's gunshot wound was easy to miss at first, a single bullet hole inside her right ear. The Allwines pistol was lying in the crook of her left arm, which was perplexing because Amy was right-handed.

How did her hand end up under the bed and the gun end up on her left arm?

Then McAllister studied the bloody scene around Amy.

I noticed what we call satellite blood drips that were actually outside of the blood pool.

At some point, Amy's head was suspended above those drops.

Meaning, prosecutor Jamie Kreiser says, that someone may have moved her body to this spot. And when the crime scene team did a luminol test looking for invisible bloodstains.

It's lit up like a Christmas tree.

Bloody footprints, too faint to be seen with the naked eye, suddenly appeared everywhere.

They went back and forth to the mudroom, but they also went into the bathrooms. on the main floor and they went into the son's bedroom.

There were no immediate suspects. Amy's son was just a kid. Her husband, Steven, had helped beef up security at the house after the FBI's warning, even bought a gun. He agreed to be questioned down at the police station.

We're a normal family. There's nothing unique, nothing strange.

The thing that stood out for everybody, I think, is his demeanor.

Came back up for lunch.

Even though Stephen Allwine had made that 911 call, McAllister says Allwine was oddly calm for someone who had just found his wife shot to death. Even when he started crying at one point.

I guess I don't even know.

What to look for.

I don't know what.

It just seemed kind of fake to me.

Allwine told police he'd spent the morning working in his basement. He says when he came up for lunch, Amy wasn't feeling well.

She was coming down with something.

Allwine said he'd given their son to Amy's parents for the afternoon.

He left the house at roughly 5.30 p.m. to go pick his son up from the grandparents' house.

From there, Allwine says he took his son for dinner and then drove home.

And the son apparently went right to the master bedroom to look for his mom and found her on the floor.

911, what's the address of the emergency?

When people call 911, they're usually calling for help.

I need help.

I need an ambulance.

I need the police.

They're in utter shock, despair.

I need help.

And his first line wasn't asking for help.

I think my wife shot herself. There's blood all over her.

It was more of a statement.

As the 911 call went on, Stephen Allwine's distraught young son, who discovered his mother's body, had questions.

I don't know.

I don't know, bud. Come here.

He then asked... Are we going to remarry?

I don't know, bud.

Did you hear what I heard?

What seemed like a chuckle.

Yeah.

There was nothing funny in that room, in that scene.

No, nothing funny at all.

Although Stephen Allwine's behavior seemed fishy in the 911 call and police interviews, McAllister said there was no apparent motive for him to kill his wife. And there was no definitive evidence linking him to the death scene. At that point in your mind, is this a murder case?

Thinking it's a murder case, I just don't know who done.

It.

Amy Allwine's husband, Steven, called 911. I have it here.

I don't even want to hear her son.

That poor little boy.

Jane Sharp is furious that authorities who knew about the dark web hitman threat against her friend Amy Allwine didn't do more to protect her.

I think they failed her. They failed her.

So when you arrive at the residence, there's not a sense of the husband might be someone we should really keep our eye on?

No, we didn't discuss any of that.

Terry Raymond and Randy McAllister from the Cottage Grove Police say This was the FBI's case. The feds took the lead that day. Local police say they did everything they could for Amy, warned her to take security precautions and increase patrols in her area.

You can't park a car indefinitely outside of somebody's house unless you have more specific information.

We wanted to ask the FBI about the Allwine case, but the Bureau declined our request for an interview. Since 2015, Chris Montero had been sounding the alarm about dark web murder-for-hire sites. He'd been writing online articles to argue that many hitman sites were phony. In 2016, he says he noticed someone had edited one of his posts about Besa Mafia, insisting it was real. This is Jura doing this?

Yes.

So he's basically saying, this guy's not right, don't listen to him. You can have people killed.

Yeah.

An online argument ensued. The sniping continued for months until Chris says he received a chilling video from Yura in his inbox.

And in this.

Video is someone holding up a piece of paper with my domain name, and there's a big flame, and a car's being torched.

It was very, very surreal. At this point, I didn't know what to do.

Chris called a lawyer the next day. In the following weeks, as the threats from Yura continued, he sought help and support from his online community, including author Eileen Ormsby in Australia. Did you interpret this as a threat upon Chris's life?

Yes, we both did.

Chris also saw it as a declaration of war.

I was going to take this guy down.

That was easier said than done. Yura's sites were encrypted, and he regularly changed their names.

To customers... Law enforcement can't easily close our site because the IP is hidden. Hosting is hidden.

Then Chris developed a special computer code to hack into the Basit Mafia site. So you were able to see all the communication that's gone between customers and Jura himself and his responses.

Exactly.

What are you discovering?

I discovered there's a lot of sick people out there and in many cases being very graphic about how they want the person to suffer I would like this person to be shot and killed. I have a very strong motive to kill my daughter. Do you know where I can hire someone to rape another person? Do you pour acid on my target? If so, how much does it cost?

Did you come across someone who used the handle Dog Day God?

Yes, I did.

The target in this kill order was Amy Allwine. Chris found scores of messages between Dog Day God and Yura discussing how, where, and when the hit would take place. What did Dog Day God want done?

The target killed whilst they were on a particularly given date.

Dog Day God writes, I am looking to hire you for a hit. Yura writes back, we can plan the hit when you are traveling outside the city for a day or two. This makes everyone know you could not be the murderer. Dog Day God again. The target will be traveling out of town to Moline, Illinois. What is the price in Bitcoin for a hit and ideally making it look like an accident? Normal killing by gunshot is $ 5, 000, Eura responds. Killing to make it look like accident is $ 5, 000 plus max $ 4, 000. It's all organized. It's all ready to go.

Eura is offering everything here except airline miles, it seems, for this hit.

Dog Day God has a very intimate knowledge of Amy's whereabouts, her movements, and what she's going to be doing at any one time.

And Ormsby says Dog Day God's messages with Yura, which began about nine months before Amy Allwine died, make clear that as time passed, Dog Day God had grown impatient about having the hit carried out. March 20, 2016. I want her gone. I need her gone. Chris says he was so concerned about the hitman's sights, he contacted the FBI.

I spoke to an agent there and explained the situation.

He admits he didn't get into specifics about any plot in particular and says the conversation went nowhere. He eventually gave up trying.

This would take over my life even more than it has.

But Chris's life was turned upside down in January 2017, when he learned about Amy Allwine's death.

I was so upset when I found out, and this is exactly what I tried to stop.

It's really difficult.

Very painful for you. Back in Minnesota, police had been investigating Amy's death since the day her body was discovered. They'd made an unusual find in the basement where Stephen lived. had an office.

He had a lot of very advanced electrical and computer equipment.

I heard there was as many as 66 electronic devices down there. I mean, did it look like mission control?

Yeah.

It was a lot, even for an IT professional like Stephen Allwine. And investigators unearthed startling cyber evidence in his email.

Stephen Allwine had been going on a website called Ashley Madison. It is a website for married people seeking extramarital affairs.

A hack of a controversial social networking website.

Ashley Madison, whose client list was leaked in 2015, publicly shaming some of the most rich and powerful adulterers in America. How do you think she would have taken that news?

She'd have been crushed.

Jamie Kreiser says Stephen Allwine's position in the church would have been in jeopardy if he divorced Amy.

Stephen Allwine had dated at least three women through different internet forums. Those relationships ranged from a date to a prolonged sexual relationship.

This is one of those women, and read for yourself, their texts could never be heard in church.

That goes to motive in that Stephen Allwine did not want.

To be married anymore.

The incriminating evidence against Stephen Allwine was growing. They discovered Allwine had been shopping on the dark web for an anti-nausea drug called scopolamine.

Taking a large amount of scopolamine would render you helpless, essentially.

Had he pulled the trigger himself or hired a hitman from Jura's website? Jura claimed Amy's shooting was arranged on Besa Mafia in this video diary he sent us.

The base of Mafia Hitman visited the Allwine residence and shot his wife using her gun and then left the location in a hurry.

Either way, Amy's autopsy showed an enormous amount of scopolamine in her system.

In high enough amounts, it can kill you.

In spite of the scopolamine in her system, in spite of the messages to the Hitman site, Randy McAllister was lacking absolute proof that Stephen Allwine was involved in Amy's death. Could someone else have used Allwine's computers?

I really didn't latch on to Stephen Allwine as the suspect until December 12th.

December 12th, 2017. That's the day McAllister got a call from another investigator who had just made another crucial discovery.

Stephen moves from being the grieving spouse of Amy to the suspect in her murder.

I've worked on many murders in my career. This one, far and wide, the most complex, trying case I have ever worked on as a prosecutor.

On December 12th, 2016, authorities in the Allwine investigation caught their biggest break of all. Is there a smoking gun in this case, in your opinion?

There is a smoking gun in this case.

Prosecutor Jamie Kreiser says the smoking gun was a 34-character code in a message from Dog Day God paying for Amy's murder in Bitcoin, that digital currency that people on the dark web often use to buy and sell anonymously. The problem for Stephen Allwine was that the code was on his computer. Kreiser says it could not have been a coincidence. So in the end... Who is Dog Day God?

Dog Day God is Stephen Allwine.

The man who swore to God that he would love, honor, and cherish Amy Allwine is now suspected of sending her to an early grave.

We know he tried to hire a hitman to kill her. We know he tried to poison her. He tried to get her to kill herself. with these emails.

That didn't work.

Prosecutors say after waiting for nine months, Stephen Allwine was so frustrated that the hit hadn't happened that he shot his wife to death himself, using that nausea drug to render her helpless and the gun he'd bought for their personal protection.

Hi there.

I'm Michelle Fransk.

Stephen Allwine was arrested on January 17, 2017, On murder charges, he hired defense attorney Kevin DeVore. Let's get right to it. Did Stephen Allwine murder his wife Amy?

No.

If he didn't, who did?

Well, there were threats that were being made directly to Amy Allwine on the Internet.

DeVore claims authorities had tunnel vision from the start, focusing on Stephen Allwine and ignoring other possibilities. Now investigators say, nice try with that, but Stephen wrote all those emails. It was Stephen who sought to hire a hitman.

That's what they say, but they didn't provide us with any proof that he sent those emails.

There is a 34-digit code that The same code that was found on Stephen Allwine's laptop and on a cell phone. Because how do you explain that?

Well, that was the best evidence the state had in their case.

And the truth is you can't explain it.

You can't explain it, but there is another possibility of how it got on there.

Incriminating evidence was uploaded to Stephen Allwine's computer from a device called S. Allwine iPhones. But DeVore will ask jurors to believe the phone wasn't Steven's. In any case, DeVore says there's evidence a woman wrote messages like this one. I don't know how a like you got to my husband.

There were other women involved in Amy's life, friends of hers and other colleagues that had full access to her internet, to her home.

Andy says it was a woman after all, or at least someone claiming to be, who tried to get Amy to commit suicide just months before authorities found her dead.

It appeared that it was another female that was angry with Amy for allegedly having an affair with this woman's husband.

Police found no evidence Amy Allwine was having an affair with anyone. It sounds like you're making up an excuse for your client.

Well, let me tell you, as a criminal defense attorney, my job is to defend my client to show that he's not guilty.

Allwine's arrest rocked the United Church of God, where he had been held in such high esteem. Officials issued a statement expressing their profound shock and sadness. As Stephen Allwine's murder trial approached in January 2018, authorities were winding down their investigation. But 48 Hours was launching one of its own.

We wanted to learn more about the shadowy figure behind the Besa Mafia site.

So I ventured into a very strange place for the first time in my life, the dark web.

Jura had by this time closed down Besa Mafia and opened a new hitman site called Cosa Nostra, another reference to the mob and organized crime. Again, these websites can't be verified.

This is the Cosa Nostra website on the dark web. You can see the pictures of somebody who's clearly been shot, a man with a gun, eyes hidden like he's a hitman, cars that have been burned.

We wanted to talk to Jura ourselves, so we wrote to him on the dark web. Amazingly, he responded almost right away. Hi, I am Jura, he wrote. I got your earlier message. And even more amazingly, agreed to an interview with an important condition. He said it had to be in London. So we've flown from New York to London.

rented this studio, you can see the lights behind me for the big interview, and we even brought in a master of disguise who's going to camouflage Jura's face. Now all we need is him. Eileen Ormsby, who we brought to London from Australia, joined us as we waited. What do you know about Jura? Where does he live, do you think?

I don't know where Jura lives, but I suspect he's not too far away from us right now.

On our second day, we got a message on the dark web. What did he say?

I don't think he's coming.

Jura told us that he was convinced that we were being followed by British intelligence. So we offered to meet him in a public place where he could surveil us and see that we were alone. We even offered to talk in a moving taxi, making our way through London. But Jura was convinced that if he showed up, so too with the authorities.

I do have several millions to live a nice life and start several businesses. Why should I risk being arrested and end up in jail?

Chris Montero says he knows just how risky contact with Jura can be. He experienced it firsthand in his own home. February 4th, 2017. You're here in your flat in London. What happens?

Well, I'm just in the living room having some soup and I hear some noises from the door. I'm thinking, what's going on? So I come out and I go here to listen.

He says he'd spent months monitoring Jura when Jura cunningly turned the tables on him.

Jura wasn't happy with me.

He decided what he would do, he would try and confuse the matters of who ran the website.

Not long before, he discovered that Yura was trying to frame him, claiming Chris ran the hitman's sights.

And before I know it, there's a battering ram knocking down the door. There's armored police bursting in. They pushed me up against the wall here and saying, hands in the air, you're under arrest for incitement to murder.

And I'm like, what?

He says he was amazed when cops confiscated his computers and locked him up. British authorities dropped the charges and later refused our request for an interview about Chris Montero. What a nightmare.

It wasn't fun. I do not recommend.

Knowing what Jura had done to Chris, we weren't surprised that he backed out of an interview with us during our four days here in London. But we didn't walk away empty-handed. Jura did give us some information that took our investigation into a whole new direction. The man who apparently cornered the market in contract killings sent us a video diary.

I am doing this video diary entry to give you official statements about the site.

And insisted he actually wanted to save lives. To prove it, he began giving us the names of the murder targets from his sites.

Let me try him at his office first.

We wanted to touch base with you.

Normally, as journalists, we report the news and then do our best to get out of the way. But this was different. We found ourselves in the middle of an apparent live marketplace for murder. And there was only one thing we could do. Our team contacted authorities. We blurred our staff's faces for security reasons. We have a tip on a murder-for-hire plot.

Knows where the target works, knows where the target lives.

And after we called authorities, we began approaching targets like this woman ourselves.

Now I know that someone has a target on my back. They were trying to murder me.

Good boy.

That was a good try.

What do this dog trainer in Minnesota.

I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

This Hollywood actress... You had no idea this was going on.

I had no idea.

This hacker in London.

The person's very, very serious about having Laurie killed.

This single mom in Tennessee.

Why someone trying to murder me?

And this shadowy figure in an undisclosed location have in common?

A hit man goes and shoots a target from close range.

Murder for hire plots on the dark web. From the American heartland to countries across the globe.

He's being charged with something that could get him hanged.

The tips that you have given 48 hours now total 30. in nine countries.

It's a lot to take in, really.

And 48 Hours helped expose them.

They just received a tip for a murder for hire in Iran.

It's against a citizen of Taiwan.

It's a murder for hire plot unraveled.

Last week, police received a tip about the murder for hire plot from the CBS news program 48 Hours.

Ms.

Jones, can I talk to you?

If it wasn't for 48 Hours, there would have been a funeral.

Back at the airport, heading to California, where we're told an arrest is imminent. Do you understand the terror that you have caused with this murder-for-hire plot? Coming up next.

This special two-part edition of 48 Hours will continue.

48 HOURS 48.

Hours continues.

On the dark web, everybody's anonymous. So you don't know who you're dealing with.

There are people throughout this country, throughout this world, who are wanting other people dead.

Hitmen for hire advertise their services on the dark web.

So many people don't know about the dark web, how dangerous it is.

I've never heard of it until this happened to Amy.

To friends and family, they seemed like an all-American, church-going, caring, loving couple.

Until one day, the FBI discovered that somebody had paid for a hit man to murder this woman. This hit had been taken out on the dark web. Around 7 o'clock, a 911 call came in to dispatch.

911, what's the address of the emergency?

I think my wife shot herself.

There's blood all over.

She had a gunshot wound to her head. It soon became clear that it was not a suicide. Someone had killed her.

Hi, my name is Yura. We have hundreds of gang members, criminals, and people who love to kill for money.

Yura is the owner of the most profitable group of murder-for-hire sites that have ever existed.

You'd like to see Yura tracked down?

Yeah, I think he needs to be put away. It's home to me, you know, now I've lost a friend.

This is exactly what I tried to stop.

The only person who could see this information and potentially stop it was myself.

And you're looking at this as a potential life or death situation?

Absolutely.

Laurie is in San Luis Obispo in California. The person is very, very serious about having Laurie killed.

Our source has some important information about a murder for hire plot in your county.

We will definitely work immediately on locating her today. We have to consider that that particular victim's life is in danger.

We did a search of her apartment and could not find her, which was alarming.

I got.

You!

I never thought the dark web would be this dark. From the moment I found out, I've been looking over my shoulder. It is traumatizing. To this day, I still have night terrors.

You know, when you pay $ 10, 000 to get someone killed, these are dangerous people.

I don't think anyone had any idea of where this case was going to go.

The tips that you have given 48 hours now total $ 33, 000. in nine countries.

It's a lot to take in, really.

I work with CBS News. It's a murder-for-hire tip that I have.

It's against a citizen of Taiwan.

Police received a tip about the murder-for-hire plot from the CBS News program, 48 Hours.

Miss Jones, can I talk to you? We're heading now to California, where we have been told an arrest in this case is imminent. Do you understand the terror that you have caused?

Why did you do it?

The dark web is the place of absolute lawlessness, the internet's evil twin.

You can submit your orders to kill the people you hate. I will be waiting for you on the deep web.

MUSIC 48.

Hours, click for a killer. Reported by Peter Van Sant.

Some days, Jane Sharp mourns the loss of her friend, Amy Allwine, by blowing off steam at the gym. Prosecutors believe Amy's husband shot her in cold blood after his attempt to hire a hitman failed. If you had an opportunity to be alone in a room with Stephen Allwine, what would you like to say or do?

I'm not sure that would be a good idea.

I'd probably kick box his ass.

I mean, I would.

This person seems pretty serious.

There's a lot of U.S.-based hits, but it's all over the world as well.

As prosecutors prepared to try their case against Stephen Allwine, 48 Hours began its investigation into the criminal mastermind known as Eura. We blurred our team's faces for security reasons.

Hi, it's me, Yura again.

Yura had built a dark web empire advertising assassinations for hire as described in this video diary he sent us.

The hitman usually goes to the target's address such as home or workplace and waits for them inside a stolen or rental car.

Nothing about Yura including his diary can be verified.

This is his website now. He actually just rebranded it.

As reporters, our job is to cover the news. But in a shocking turn of events, Jura began sending us the names of targets, turning on his own customers. It defied logic. We turned that information over to authorities.

I got you.

One unlikely target, Sydney Miner.

I got you.

She's a 22-year-old single mom living in Clarksville, Tennessee.

You ready to get down? What do you say?

It's very traumatizing to know that I could have been that next person.

Clarksville police summoned Sydney to the station last April. after 48 hours tipped authorities to the plot against her.

We sat in a little room and then he's like, someone's trying to murder you. My instant reaction, I just start crying.

I was like, why?

Someone using the alias Blackjack85 had messaged Yura's website in early February 2018.

You can access it to submit your orders to kill the people you hate.

Providing Sidney's name, home address, and other details. Target works at Woody's Restaurant on Madison Street. Sidney is hearing this information for the first time. will be moving in a week's time and harder to find, should be done as soon as possible. That means kill you. Sydney was questioned by a detective.

And that's when he asked me, who do you think would want to kill you? And that's when I gave him the four names.

Sydney names her ex-husband and her mother's ex-fiance. Both men were cleared right away.

And then that left Brandon and Alexis.

Brandon States and Alexis Shelton had gone to the same high school as Sydney. They'd gone on to marry and have a daughter. The detective must have asked you, so why would you give me the name Brandon? What did you tell him?

Told him that I was pregnant with his daughter.

When are you due?

I'm due September 20th of 2018. It is a girl.

It's a girl.

You excited?

Yes, I'm very excited.

Brandon and Sydney had lost touch after high school. During the next four years, Sydney got married, had a son, and divorced. By September of 2017, she started dating again.

So I was actually on a dating site, and he popped up, He ended up messaging me. He was like, hey, you look really familiar. And I was like, you do too.

They started chatting.

He told me he was a father, that he had a daughter. And he told me that he had recently gone.

Through a divorce.

So I was like, well, I can kind of relate because I was doing the same thing.

The pair began dating. Brandon was a newly minted Army specialist stationed at Fort Stewart, Georgia. He made the exhausting eight-hour trip back and forth to Clarksville and to see Sydney on some weekends. Did you imagine a future with Brandon?

Yeah, I was starting to.

But in January 2018, when Sydney told Brandon she was pregnant.

He was not happy. He wanted me to get an abortion. He gave me $ 400.

She says he also gave her some disturbing news.

He's married.

Brandon and Alexis were not divorced.

And he wants to get back with his wife. I was heartbroken finding out that the guy I care about.

Is married.

It's not fun.

Sydney didn't know it yet, but Brandon was about to allegedly start a new online relationship with a man named Yura.

Hi.

Welcome again to the Beeson Mafia Diary.

Having decided against the abortion, Sydney says she sent back Brandon's $ 400 and demanded he sort out his personal life before an upcoming deployment in Korea.

I kept asking him, have you told Alexis yet? And he said, no, I need more time. I was like, okay, so here's the ultimatum. Either you tell her or I'm going to tell her.

But after a few weeks of waiting.

I messaged Alexis on Facebook. I'm pregnant with this child. He told me he wasn't married.

She says Alexis hinted that this wasn't the first time she'd had trouble with Brandon.

She's like, good luck in the future. If the kid is anything like the dad, you'll have your hands full.

Sidney told Brandon she'd go to military court if he refused to pay child support.

He's like, you're making the wrong choice here so much for not fighting. I said, oh, well, I think I'm making the best choice here. And he said, you'll see.

You'll see.

We'll see like, we'll see who has the last word.

Exactly.

Sydney didn't know that Yura soon would agree to arrange a hit on her. And we would soon learn she wasn't the only one.

I don't like how you can't see around every corner and then all the bushes.

In April 2018, Sydney Miner began living life as a target in a murder-for-hire plot.

It's scary.

You will never look at life the same again.

But just hours after notifying Sidney, Clarksville, Tennessee police informed the army about 48 hours tip. And the next day in Korea.

The detective calls me and lets me know Brandon has been arrested.

He confessed.

Brandon States was charged with several military violations, including an attempt of premeditated murder.

I start crying. I was streaming tears. Look, I have shoes on to go outside, silly.

You worry sometimes, is there still a hit man out there that has not done the murder for hires yet?

Every day.

Brandon's in custody, but there's no person with a gun in custody.

Like Amy Allwine, Sydney had been warned ahead of time For Amy, it was too little, too late. Sidney feared her ordeal wasn't over. She says she asked the detective if Brandon's wife, Alexis, was part of the plot.

He said, we've taken all precautions. We don't believe she's a part of it.

A law enforcement source told 48 Hours, quote, there is no evidence at this time that Mrs. Alexis States was involved. In London, white hat hacker Chris Montero had been monitoring Jura's websites as they rebranded and changed names. You're sure this is the Jura that you've been pursuing all this time?

Oh, absolutely.

Chris told us that Blackjack 85 seemed to grow impatient when the hit he'd paid for didn't happen. The messages are hard for Sidney to hear. Jura says to him, unfortunately, these basic hit men sometimes fail. as they are low quality for low price, if you could afford a difference of $ 5, 000, I can assign an expert hitman. There's a pattern here, similar to the Allwine case. Jura can't seem to get the job done, raising Chris Montero's suspicions of whether Jura is really providing hitmen. What's more, it struck him that Yura is always asking for more money.

But the truth is that most hitman sites are real.

This must all be overwhelming.

Yeah.

And if this Yura fellow can be found, what would you like to see happen to him?

The same fate he's been putting on everyone else.

The death penalty?

Yeah.

Yura was finished with Sidney, but not with 48 hours. He tipped us to yet another plot.

Last week, police received a tip about the murder-for-hire plot from the CBS News program 48 Hours.

This time, the person who allegedly hired the hitman is a woman living near Chicago.

Tina Jones was allegedly in a wild love triangle accused of trying to pay thousands in Bitcoin to have her lover's wife murdered.

Meet 31-year-old registered nurse Tina Jones. From the outside, Tina and her husband Toby seem to lead a fairytale life, at least according to social media. But less than two years into her marriage, investigators believe Tina's eye began to wander. and settled on a colleague, seen here in his school days.

We understand the allegation that she met an anesthesiologist at the hospital and that they had a relationship.

Justin Kamich has been covering the story for the Daily Herald. Tina's alleged boyfriend was also married to this woman. Authorities believe Tina wanted her dead.

The hitman was told to make it look like an accident and that the husband was not to be harmed in any way.

In the commission of this crime. Acting on our tip, which originally came from Eura, authorities arrested Tina Jones on April 17th and charged her with six felonies, including attempted murder. Chris Montero says authorities hadn't heeded his warnings about Eura. When he saw them listening to us, he gave 48 Hours new target information from Eura's sites.

48 Hours, how are you?

Our team notified authorities from India.

We've uncovered potential murder-for-hire plot.

Iran.

Please give me a call back as soon as possible.

Taiwan.

I'm looking to reach anyone within Police Department of Taipei.

And Singapore, where in May, police armed with our information arrested this man, Alan Vincent. Vincent was later charged with criminal conspiracy to murder the boyfriend of a female colleague.

Hello, hey Michelle, AP Ting from Today here.

Wong Pei Ting covered the case for an online newspaper in Singapore called Today. She says if Vincent is convicted, the notoriously strict Singapore courts may throw the book at him.

He's being charged with something that could get him hanged.

We've been working this story for several months now and a tinge of suspicion has crept into our minds. Chris Montero has had access to Jura's database. He knows everything about Jura. And it's time we ask him an important question. With your breadth of knowledge about Jura, your backdoor access to what he does, people have wanted me to ask you this question. Are you Jura?

I am not Jura.

So far, tips made by 48 Hours have led to three arrests. Brandon States in the Tennessee case, Tina Jones in Illinois, and Alan Vincent in Singapore.

I think it's amazing.

But the most shocking arrest was yet to come in a case right out of Hollywood.

I never did it for the money.

I did it because I had a lot of time on my hands.

Now I've got plans to make more plans.

In Chris Montero's forays into the darkest corners of the dark web, he has seen illegal arms, drugs, and murder-for-hire sites. Chris, it's good to see you again. I want to touch base with you. After the Tennessee and Illinois arrests last spring, he told us about another American targeted for murder on Eura's anonymous website.

I keep my identity private, hide my face, my hands, everything that could help with recognition.

They've submitted a photo of a woman called Lori.

We're not using her last name or showing her face.

In San Luis Obispo in California, the person is very, very serious about having Lori killed.

Seemingly so serious, we immediately contacted law enforcement. We're going to call out to California a man named Dan Dow. He is the district attorney of San Luis Obispo County. This is Peter Van Sant. I just got off the Skype with an internet expert in London. He has some important information about a murder-for-hire plot. in your county.

Okay, certainly very interested in hearing what you have.

The target is a woman by the name of Lori. The person says that Lori is evil and wants this kill made. What has been ordered is a hit that looks like an accident because the customer in this case feels that he or she would become very quickly a suspect.

We will definitely make sure that she's as protected as possible. It's pretty unique to get a tip from the media.

I want to let you guys get on, do your business. Dow's team starts its investigation right away.

I have an email from Peter Van Zandt, background information from the tip that he just gave us.

The first order of business, find Lori and make sure she is safe.

Our first goal is to locate her.

Dow immediately alerts San Luis Obispo police, including the supervisor of detectives, Lieutenant John Bledsoe. We don't know whether she's alive at this point. As with the other targets on Yura's hitman sites, Lori is described in detail. She is a blonde, middle-aged woman who drives a silver Mercedes with a black convertible top.

We have to consider that that particular victim's life is in danger.

Actually, I'm getting a text right now from one of our detectives. It shows she does live in San Luis. The next day, Detective Susie Walsh leads colleagues to Lori's home. But there's a problem.

We did a search of her apartment and could not find her, which was alarming.

You're worried, has somebody taken her somewhere? Somebody shot her, perhaps.

Right.

To find Lori, Detective Walsh develops a ruse to use with her son.

That someone had simply reported her missing and we needed to find her.

Lori's son does find her.

And I told Lori, no less dramatic than this, but I need you to come to the police department right away. I don't want you to make any stops. She was very alarmed, and she said, I will go straight to you, and she did.

Detective Walsh brings Lori into this interrogation room. Their conversation is recorded.

This is so bizarre.

And I said, is there someone that would want you dead? And that was just an absolute shock to her. She cried, she got up, she paced.

Just minutes later, Lori has an answer.

That's the only person that I know.

Bo, B-E-A-U, Brigham.

That's when Bo Brigham came to light.

In addition to her son from a previous relationship, Lori also has two step-sons, Brandon and Bo. from her 1999 marriage to Jeff Brigham, a successful restaurant and bar owner.

Lori had co-raised Brandon and Bo since they were approximately 10 years old. So she had a very longstanding familial relationship with them.

Brandon eventually went into marketing. Bo took his shot at Hollywood stardom.

I never did it for the money.

I did it because I had a lot of time on my hands.

That's him lip syncing in a music video he co-produced. The music video that I saw is compelling to watch. Did you find it impressive?

It was very impressive.

He had a company called Bowflix where he did videography and photography in San Francisco.

Bo Brigham was also into extreme sports, living life on the edge. Their lives seemed picture perfect. Then tragedy struck.

In 2011, Jeff Brigham dies unexpectedly from a massive heart attack. And Lori really truly didn't have any knowledge of how to run the businesses. Now that started a place of contention.

Eventually, Lori lost one of the bars. Bo and Brandon successfully sued their stepmother in 2013 and won a significant judgment.

Lori becomes in debt to them in excess of a million dollars.

Does she have the money to pay them?

No.

But she still had assets. If Lori dies, who benefits?

Beau and Brandon.

Both stood to gain an inheritance, but police quickly eliminate Brandon Brigham as a suspect. Detective Anthony Peluso says Beau became their focus. but to prove him guilty.

Hi, this is Euron.

Again.

They somehow have to prove he is the one who sent the kill order on his stepmother to Jura's hitman website.

The email chain provided by Chris Montero, we, I think, collectively had no clue what the dark web was when we initially got this case.

And just like in the Allwine case, the digital currency Bitcoin is critical to proving a crime was committed. This is a message that was sent to Eura. I have money. I would not put in an order if I wasn't serious. I'm trying to get these damn Bitcoins in. Investigators discovered Bo made a tiny down payment for the hit on Lori, sending Eura less than $ 5. Obviously, $ 5 is not enough money to pay for a murder.

Correct.

However, it is enough to show that he has had intentions to continue with this thing. He wanted to make sure that this hitman that's on the dark web actually got the $ 5 before he. Gave him the full $ 10, 000 that was required.

Then detectives discover something about the Bitcoin used to pay for the hit in this case. It had been bought on a website where users had to register with a photo ID.

In this case, Bo Brigham uploaded a picture of his California driver's license.

We call that a smoking gun, do we not?

So, yes.

Two months after the San Luis Obispo police got their tip from Chris Montero and 48 hours.

We needed to find out where Bo was.

Cops finally have Lori's suspected tormentor in their sights. Creative, handsome, charismatic. Bo Brigham had it all. This video he co-produced and starred in was seen all over the world. With more than 2 million views online, Brigham now has new people desperately wanting to see him, to find him. People with a badge who consider this talented artist a danger to society.

He had a clear intent to have Lori murdered.

Once Lori is located and safely in hiding, San Luis Obispo, California detectives, Susie Walsh and Anthony Peluso focus on finding her stepson.

We found that his phone was peeing down in Palm Desert. That's when we made the decision to actually go down.

Palm Desert is near the wealthy playground of Palm Springs, California. Investigators learn Brigham's biological mother, Alexis, lives there. She is a former Hollywood actress who had a bit role in the 1997 courtroom drama, The Rainmaker. But when police get to her last known address, nobody's there. Do you literally just start working the streets back and forth like a grid?

So that's the intention.

That was the plan.

That was the plan. Beau drives a Mercedes Sprinter van. It's pretty easy to spot.

After several hours of driving around, the detectives find the van at a Starbucks parking lot. Bo Brigham's mother, Alexis, drives away. The detectives follow her to this house and approach her in the driveway.

The look on her face was, oh my gosh, what is this? She allowed us to go inside the house?

They're surprised to find Bo Brigham in bed, who complained he was suffering from many illnesses, including cancer.

He would try to divert from the actual conversation to how sick he is and I'm dying, I'll be dead tomorrow, I can barely breathe, you know, I'll die in two days.

In 2015, Bo set up this GoFundMe page where he raised more than $ 40, 000 to allegedly pay for medical treatment. Detectives say they didn't see proof of any official diagnosis.

From what we've talked to him and Alexis, he hasn't been diagnosed with anything.

He has not. Could he be acting?

Yes.

Peluso then confronts Bo with this dark web kill order, telling Yura, look, I need this effing person dead.

He finally said, you're right. Okay, I did it. I sent those.

But detectives want more than just an admission. There needs to be evidence to support that. They seize computers and an iPhone from the house.

So.

This is the Central Coast Cyber Forensic Laboratory in San Luis Obispo. And the man behind me is John Lehrer. He is a computer forensic specialist, and he will be looking for the evidence. We'll be a fly on the wall if you don't mind.

Sounds good.

For us, it is now a waiting game. Have you ever had a case like this, a dark web case?

No.

This is really an emerging technology, and I think we're really trying to play catch up in terms of law enforcement.

Two days pass, then a whisper.

I got something here.

You were saying?

This is Beau's iPhone, and one of the first applications that it lists here is something called Tor Browser Pro.

Tor is a browser that can access the dark web. And so this is evidence.

Oh, absolutely.

We made the decision to charge Mr.

Bo Brigham with solicitation of murder. 9 a.m. on August 9th in Palm Desert. San Luis Obispo police have just arrived. We're heading now over to the arrest site. And they're heading for Bo's residence. Just knocked on the door, Bo Brigham's wake-up call, and in they go. This began months ago when we got a tip from Chris Montero in London about a murder for hire plot in San Luis Obispo.

Bo is now coming out. Bo Brigham is handcuffed. We know that you wanted your stepmother murdered, but we don't know why.

Why did you do it?

I don't.

I'm deathly ill.

I'm sorry.

Do you understand, Beau, the terror that you have caused?

We'll get you checked out, man.

You also hired a hitman to take someone else's life. The whole scene is too much for Beau's biological mother, Alexis. He never, ever wants anything to happen to her at all. He was just angry. Who admits she knew about Beau hiring a hitman on the dark web. And then I was thinking, well, what do we do?

Do we contact the police?

Do we, you know, contact Lori?

Did you do that?

Did you contact Lori?

No, I was overwhelmed.

I didn't know what to do. About a month after Beau's kill order, Alexis tried convincing him to ask Yura for a refund.

I told him, get it out so they know you're not wanting anything done.

Okay, we're going to get going. Beau is taken to a nearby hospital. Doctors examine him.

They asked him, acute symptoms, what are you dealing with today?

And when he couldn't name any, basically they ran his vitals and discharged him.

Now, Bo Brigham is headed for county jail. Six weeks later, we obtained this letter from his defense team. Bo Brigham's doctor states, Mr. Brigham is extremely ill, but he never mentions cancer or ALS. And just five days ago, Bo Brigham agreed to an interview with 48 Hours in jail, where I asked again, Why did you seek to hire a hitman on a dark web site to kill your stepmother?

I didn't.

I'm actually terminally ill.

Investigators believe that you're faking this.

That's outrageous.

They're insane.

Beau's anger with his stepmother stems from his belief that she hasn't supported him during his health problems.

She left her own son to die for four years.

Who does that?

So does she deserve a death sentence? Absolutely not. On April 19th, 2018, Beau, you wrote, look, I need this effing person dead. I don't remember exactly.

What you were doing.

I don't remember any of this, by the way. You gave specifics about your stepmother. Look for silver Mercedes with a black convertible top. You gave specific instructions. Do not go through with the job unless it can be done as an extreme clear accident because it will be very easily traceable to you.

There is only one way to get anyone's attention and to do something stupid on a site was the only way I've been emailing Lori to come see me for four years now.

So you admit you went on the site. I can't remember doing it.

I can't remember over.

I don't remember exactly. And over again. I didn't remember writing that. Despite Beau's memory issues, despite that he admitted to both the police and his own mother that he did this.

No one would do something like this.

No one, especially my son, if he was of sound mind.

Beau's attorney plans to take this case to court.

Mr.

Van Sant, the people's case is in a lot of trouble.

Be patient.

Come to court.

We will be waiting for you to come place your orders immediately.

Chris Montero in London says Bo Brigham's arrest assures him that his work has made a difference.

I wasn't sure what I was doing really mattered.

Now I can see that it's so important that this information is acted on.

Chris hopes the authorities will also find and arrest Jura, who he says is concealing something explosive.

They are claiming that all Hitman sites are fake.

Chris Montero says through all the years investigating Yura.

Asa Mafia was a real hitman to hire Marketplace.

Through all the murder plots.

You will never look at life the same again, I promise.

All the lives threatened, including his own.

That was a bit of a shock. It really was.

He and Eileen Ormsby reached an explosive conclusion that Yura's murder for hire operation is all a big scam.

Nobody is being killed.

What?

Nobody is being killed.

It's a scam site.

You know, it's designed to take people's money.

Always pay with Bitcoin through escrow.

Turns out Yura is a con man and not some hitman commander. According to our investigation, he never arranged for a single actual hit.

We have hundreds of people who love to kill for money.

But Yura still insists his websites are real.

The hitmen don't get paid until the job is done.

Either way, the most dangerous thing about him may be his customers. Some so driven to kill that if Yura doesn't get the job done, they might do it themselves. Like prosecutors allege about Stephen Allwine. Just ask Amy's friend, Jane Sharp.

Cottage Grove lost an awesome citizen.

As Stephen's trial begins, the state argues he paid Yura to have Amy murdered. But when Yura didn't deliver, Allwine drugged her and shot her to death himself. Prosecutor Jamie Kreiser says he wanted out of his marriage, but divorce was discouraged in his fundamentalist church.

Marriage was considered a covenant, and that covenant was.

Not to be broken.

Defense attorney Kevin DeVore countered that authorities never looked beyond Stephen Allwine and that there were other people who may have wanted Amy dead. He says those people could have left clues at the crime scene, but first responders bungled the investigation.

They had no fingerprints, no DNA, no eyewitnesses.

They had no confessions.

They had very little, you know, traditional evidence.

After an eight-day trial, where Allwine never took the stand, the jury took just six hours before convicting him of first-degree murder. Stephen Allwine was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

When it was read guilty, he just kind of fell.

He put his hands in his face, and he began to cry.

He finally shows emotions.

Finally.

The death of Amy Allwine is hard for Chris Montero, too, but for different reasons.

It was totally preventable from a law enforcement institution point of view.

Today, as we sit here, after all the trauma that you've been through, no one's touched Jura. He's still operating.

Yep.

Chris Montero says Jura knows there will always be people who believe his sites are authentic. people who expect him to deliver death when they click for a killer. So he remains in business somewhere out there on the dark web.

Now, an update on our 48 hours dark web murder for hire investigation. In California, Bo Brigham was convicted of soliciting the murder of his stepmother, Lori. He was sentenced to three years in prison.

I don't even remember actually doing it, and it's not something I wanted.

Lori knows I love her. I mean, it's a really situation, to be honest.

In Singapore, Alan Vincent pleaded guilty to intentionally abetting murder and was sentenced to five years. In the Tennessee case, Brandon States pleaded guilty to attempted premeditated murder. He was sentenced through the military court to 15 years. And in the Illinois case, Tina Jones pleaded guilty to one count of attempted first-degree murder and was sentenced to 12 years behind bars.

48 hours.

To miss it would be a crime.

Were you at all prepared for what happened in this case?
