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. https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/michigan-woman-pleads-guilty- after-trying-to-have-ex-husband-killed-through-fake-rent-a-hitman- website
