An eighteen-year-old American woman, Jazmin Paez has been arrested by the police for planning to kill her three-year-old son by hiring a hitman with a fake website RentAHitman.com.
The Miami based mom is accused of submitting pictures of her little boy and the exact location to reach him.
The blood-thirsty mother allegedly agreed to pay $3,000 for her son’s execution, and investigators posing as hired assassins spoke with Paez to flesh out the demented plan.
After matching her IP address to her home and speaking with the child’s grandmother who confirmed that the intended target was Paez’s child, the police then moved in immediately to arrest her.
She was charged with first-degree solicitation of murder and third-degree using a communications device for unlawful use.
Paez is currently being held in the Miami-Dade jail, and her son is in the safe custody of the family, according to investigators.
The man who operates the fake website was the one who tipped off the authorities about Paez’s sick scheme, investigators said.
Robert Innes receives hundreds of hitman solicitations per day said Paez’s request was too specific and urgent.
Innes alleges that the Miami-Dade police did not initially believe him, the police department threatened to send him a cease-and-desist letter if he continued contacting them.
The site has led to the arrest of dozens of people looking to pass off the messy job to someone else.
In 2021, a Michigan woman admitted to using the site to hire a hitman to kill her ex-husband for $5,000.
Since 2018, the RentAHitman website has been used to rob at least 120 people from across New York.
Desperate people, however, continue to flood his inbox with solicitations even as he hands high-profile arrests over to the authorities.
