Tennessee woman wanted to hire hitmen to kill the wife of a man she met on a dating website

A Tennessee woman tried to hire an online hitman for nearly $10,000 to kill the wife of a man she met on the dating website Match.com, prosecutors said.

According to court documents, 48-year-old Melody Sasser used a darknet website called “Online Killers Market” last year to hire a hitman for a “job.”

The website allegedly offers contract killing services, hacking, kidnapping, extortion, acid attacks and sexual assault, WVLT reported.

Sasser wrote a message to the website administrator under the username “cattree” asking to hire a hitman. She paid $9,750 in bitcoins for the “job” and stressed that it had to look like an accident to avoid suspicion of criminal activity.

“It has to appear as if it was a coincidence or an accident or that drugs were embezzled. I don't want a lengthy investigation. She only recently moved in with her new husband,” Sasser wrote to the administrator.

The woman she wanted dead, identified only as JW, lives in Prattville, Alabama with her husband, identified as DW, who Sasser met on Match.com before marrying.

DW said Sasser helped him hike the Appalachian Trail before he moved to Alabama and married his current wife.

According to court documents, Sasser left threatening voicemails on JW's phone and used technology to disguise her voice.

According to court documents, Sasser spent two months talking to the administrator of Online Killers Market because he was dissatisfied that the “work” was not being completed.

“I have waited 2 months and 11 days and the work is still not done,” she wrote to the administrator. “2 weeks ago you said it was being worked on and would be done in a week. The work is still not done. Does it need to be assigned to someone else? Will it be done? What is the delay? When will it be done? [SIC].”

During her communications with the website, Sasser provided photos and location information of JW, according to court documents.

Sasser was reportedly able to track the couple's whereabouts using an app called Strava, which connects to Garmin watches and shares fitness data.

Once, she notified the administrator of “Online Killers Market” when JW left her house for a three-kilometer walk.

But the plan failed and led to Sasser's arrest and a search of her house.

When investigators searched her apartment, they found a diary listing several other contract killer websites, a handwritten report of communications with the “Online Killers Market,” and a stack of cash under a post-it note with a Bitcoin address.

In June of last year, a federal grand jury indicted Sasser on charges of using interstate commerce facilities to commit murder-for-hire.

Sasser took a plea deal on Wednesday and was sentenced to 100 months in prison and ordered to pay more than $5,300 in restitution to the victim.
