Michigan Democrat woman pleads guilty after trying to have ex-husband killed through fake 'Rent-A-Hitman' website

Wendy Lynn Wein, 52, of South Rockford, used a fake website called 
"Rent-A-Hitman" to try to solicit the murder of her former husband 
on July 17, 2020. She used a pseudonym but entered her real 
information at the end of her "service request."

However, the "Rent-A-Hitman" domain was created as a cyber-security 
test site. The website's owner contacted Michigan State Police, who 
contacted Wein posing as someone from the website.

An undercover detective met with Wein at a cafe, where she said she 
wanted to have her ex murdered. She gave the detective his home 
address, work address, and work schedule. 

She also said she would pay $5,000 for the murder. At a second 
meeting that same day, she gave the detective $200 as a downpayment.

Wein was charged with solicitation of murder and using a computer to 
commit a crime. She pleaded guilty to both charges on Friday.

Her plea agreement has a cap of 108 months in prison. She will be 
sentenced Jan. 13, 2022.
