Undercover FBI Agent Gets Hired for a Hit 😳
An undercover FBI agent describes infiltrating a murder-for-hire plot where an incarcerated man solicited a gang member to kill a child and his family in Wisconsin. The agent met with the suspect, who quoted prices ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 for the murders.
Summary
The transcript features an FBI undercover agent recounting a criminal investigation involving a murder-for-hire scheme. While the suspect was incarcerated in San Antonio, Texas, he solicited a gang member to help locate someone to commit murder. The agent explains that prison inmates often use information as leverage to reduce their sentences, which is how law enforcement became aware of the plot. The undercover agent met with the suspect and showed him a picture of the intended victim—a child—to confirm the target. When the suspect saw the photo, he responded with the word 'Greedy' and then escalated his request, asking the agent to also kill the child's family members located in Wisconsin. The agent responded strategically by suggesting they handle targets one at a time while indicating willingness to travel. When asked about the cost of such a hit, the suspect quoted prices between $2,000 and $10,000 per murder.
