BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A federal grand jury has indicted a southwest Idaho woman with trying to hire someone to kill her husband.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Boise says 33-year-old Monique Christine Martinez of Nampa was indicted Wednesday on one count of using interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire.
U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson in a statement on Friday says Martinez used a social networking site to contact a person in California to hire someone to kill her husband.
Olson says that Martinez on Oct. 17 met with an undercover FBI agent she believed to be the hit man and gave the agent $350 and promised more.
Olson says Martinez also gave the FBI agent information on how to find her husband and provided photographs. She was arrested Oct. 22.
