Attorney Accused of Plotting to Kill Her Estranged Husband’s New Girlfriend
“An attorney in Jefferson County tried to hire a former sniper and a ranch hand to kill her estranged husband’s new girlfriend and others as part of a year-long campaign of harassment, stalking and threats, authorities alleged in a 33-page affidavit,” reports Shelly Bradbury in The Denver Post’s News.
“Evergreen resident Jennifer Emmi, 43, who is also known as Jennifer Edwards, was arrested in late January and charged with solicitation of first-degree murder, two counts of retaliating against a witness or victim and three counts of stalking, according to an affidavit filed Jan. 25 by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.”
“The murder-for-hire arrest followed a six-month investigation by the sheriff’s office that involved undercover meetings, blackmail and extortion attempts, a 67-year-old man who was Emmi’s “financial backer” and numerous attempts by Emmi to manipulate her estranged husband and his girlfriend, who had been the family’s au pair.”
