From The Sacramento Bee:
Federal charges have been filed against a Michigan woman that claim she tried to use the Internet to find someone to kill her lover's wife in Oroville.
A criminal complaint against 48-year-old Ann Marie of Rockford, Mich., was filed in U.S. District Court in Sacramento against the woman, who is accused of using the free classified advertising Web site craigslist to hire an assassin.
Court papers say three people responded to the ad and that Marie told them the job paid $5,000. Marie also allegedly told at least one of them the killer's expenses would be paid, and added, "This IS a serious proposition," court documents state.
FBI agents went to Marie's home Thursday, and later she was charged with using interstate commerce facilities intending "that a murder be committed."
Marie, who sometimes uses the name Ann Marie Linscott, is in custody in Michigan and will be afforded a detention hearing next week.
The alleged target is a 56-year-old Oroville woman who is the wife of a man Marie had been romantically involved with, court papers say.
