http://www.kctv5.com/story/34498428/man-planning-a-murder-accidentally-texts-his-boss
Dude sent a text to his ex-boss instead of the "hitman". Wanted wife and daughter killed.
"Life insurance is worth 1 million and if you want a bonus you can kill JL. Her life insurance is 500k."
The initials JL refer to the man's daughter. He even texted how to carry out the murder.

Were I planning a murder or hiring a hitman, using my own phone registered to me though a carrier seems like a bad plan.
Texting something like that is extra dumb.
Did he think the cops, after a murder and as the recipient of a very large life insurance payment, would not subpoena his phone records?

And this is why police solve most crimes: Criminals are generally stupid and reckless.
Very rarely would you need a Holmes or a Poirot to find the culprit.

And technology has probably not helped the criminals. I am surprised he didn't text his wife or post about it on Facebook.

He was also dumb enough to tell the hit man how much is available. It's like walking into a car dealership, handing them your bank statement and then asking how much they want for a car.
Even if the base price was cheap, you're telling somebody who kills people for money that you're going to have a lot of money soon.

Let's not assume honesty here.

Huh. Might be an interesting plan for the future. Text from your significant other's cell phone to a burner arranging a "hit". Accidently text the wrong person. Voila, pretty much automatic win in divorce court.
I'd be shocked if it hasn't happened already. From what I've been told, very little has not been tried in divorces.

There was something in the news like that recently, something about an ex wife or ex girlfriend being arrested for sending death threats to a man's current gf/wife, but it was the other woman spoofing the woman's phone number...

If I were the hit man, I'd send back a reply that said..."How much life insurance is on you?" =D :lol:

Creating evidence of your own crime or criminal plot . . .
You know those kids who film themselves doing things like smashing mail boxes and shooting paintballs at random pedestrians, and then post the videos to YouTube or Facebook?
This is what they do when they grow up.
My reaction is somewhere between :facepalm: and :rofl:

A lot easier to accuse the husband of molesting the kids. Many lives totally destroyed for someone's hate.
