On the night of May 26th, 2013, Sonia called 911 and reported that there was an intruder in their house. When the police arrived, they found Rick lying on the floor with two bullet wounds to the back of his head. Sonia told the police that the intruder had shot Rick and then fled. The investigation that followed would reveal a much darker story.
As detectives dug deeper into Sonia and Rick's marriage, they found evidence of infidelity, financial problems, and even abuse. Sonia had hired a hitman to kill Rick and plotted the murder for months. She promised to pay the hitman $50,000 using the proceeds of Rick's life insurance policy.
