• 3:13
  Speaker 1: gets a text from dad who says that he quotes

  Speaker 1: wants to take him up on his offer to kill
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: his wife. Yes, you heard me right. The boss gets

  Speaker 1: a text message from employee former employee Jeff Little, a
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: forty two year old husband and father of a gorgeous
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: four year old little girl. The text says that Little
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: wants to take him up on his offer to kill
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: his wife and little girl. Why could it have anything
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to do with a one point five million dollar life
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: insurance policy. I'm talking about forty two year old Jeff Little. Hello,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: this is Crime Stories with Nancy Gray's and joining me
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: crack investigative reporter Alan Duke. The Duke is on the case.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Listen to this allan a murder plot devised by a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: dad was exposed. Let me enjoy laughing for one moment,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: because nobody is dead and nobody's dismembered. That's why I
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: always said to the children in the car. Okay. For instance,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: this morning, when I took the children to school, Lucy
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: did not wear tennis shoes and she has pe today
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, Lucy, nobody's dead and nobody's dismembered. You
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: go into school. I'll go back and get your tennis shoes.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I'll bring him back. In this case, Alan, nobody's dead
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and nobody's dismembered. And I could not be happier because
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: this guy is so busted. The whole thing comes to
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: light when he accidentally texts his boss instead of the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: hit man, say court documents, it's Jeff Little of Monroe,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Washington who intended to text what we think is a
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: hit and named Shane. Prosecutors believe he hired the man
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to kill his wife. Now this is really making my
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: blood boil. And is four year old little girl for
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: one point five million dollar life insurance policy? What about that?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I tell you this guy is too dumb even to
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: be a criminal. I mean, you know, criminals are dumb,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: but this is too dumb except for the fact that
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I do the same thing sometimes. I've got two iPhones,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I've got two computers, and to kill your wife and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: your four year old little girl. No no, no, no no,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I accidentally text the wrong person and I have to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: play it off. I've never done this when planning a murder.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Never and never will. That's not going to identify the wife.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: She has been identified on social media, but let's leave
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: her out of this for right now. And I certainly
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: am not going to identify the little girl. But the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: text message about the evil plan was sent to the boss,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: who then takes it to the police, and it allegedly reads,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and I'm quoting Alan, Hey, Shane, how's it going You
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: remember you said you could help me kill my wife.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take you up on that offer. It's like
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: he's trying to do a deal over, you know, in
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: a used parking and he used Carla. Now, this is
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: according to k i r O Channel seven. Now, the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: forty two year old dad allegedly agrees to split the
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: money fifty fifty with Shane the hitman, and tell even
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: go so far as to tell him the hitman when
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: his wife usually got home from work at Walmart. So
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: here the man, his wife is making the living, not judging,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and he's gonna kill her for a one point five
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: million dollar life insurance policy. And he wants their death
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to be staged as an accident or quote, a robbery
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: gone wrong. You know, they used to drive me crazy, Allen,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: when people go I would say it was a robbery
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: gone wrong. I'm right, Well, when was the robbery ever? Right?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: So how can it be a robbert go wrong? But
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the pictures of this mom and she's like out in
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the snow playing with the little girl, just a beautiful
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: good thing. Right. But so then when he was interviewed
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: by police, he says his four year old daughter might
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: have sent the messages. Yeah, I mean, how do you
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: play that off? Well, my my, my little daughter likes
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to use my iPhone to watch the YouTube videos and
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: she I guess she just accidentally sent thou. She's just
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: smart little she's a pretty good speller. Because Shane spells
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: his name with a y s h a y n e.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: So first he blames the four year old daughter. Maybe
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: they have a dog he can blame. Next, he also says, oh,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: this is a big booboo right here. He then says
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: he only sent the messages to quote vent and did
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: not intend to actually go through with the murder plot.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Did he put a smiley face emoji on there? He
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: he You've got a whole variety of yeah, I know. Okay,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Ever since my son discovered the one that's you know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: a poop emoji, puts it on everything. Here's the thing,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: how do you feel about that? I mean when I was,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: when I was nine years old, if I had done
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: anything like that, a poop sign on a text. You
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: don't know. If I had said that word, I would have.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I did. I remember having what you couldn't say poop.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: My mom was pretty strict. She did not like, are
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: you serious? We had no cursing in the house as absolutely.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I had to put my husband in time out the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: other day because Lucy rating him out for saying a
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: bad word at the refrigerator for some reason, but absolutely
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: not what what what? Let me just get off the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: hit man for a moment. Came home? Who told on
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: who they love to throw each other under the bus? Okay,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: so I think it was John. David said my me,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Lucy said the S word. I'm like what, He goes, Yes,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I said what S word? And he says the s
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: H word? Mommy. I'm like, Lucy, did you say the
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: s H word? And she said mom. She almost starts crying.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: She's really she can cry whenever she wants to do.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: She goes, mom, I almost said the s H word.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: But then I stopped halfway through, So how can you
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: stop halfway through? And she said I only said shut
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I never set up. Oh good creep and oh John
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Day was all over her for the s H word
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: And then okay, one rone or the other one out
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: for the S word. Okay, who said the S word?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Where did you even hear that word? And they said
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: we heard it on TV. I said TV. I said,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: how do you spell the S word? This was on
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: another occasion. I said, S T U P I D
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: that was the S word. Then they said they've read
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: it each other out. No, no, they read it. Another
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: little girl out on the playground for saying the F word. Okay,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I nearly did a backflip on that one. I said,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: who said the F word? John David and knows Lucy
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: told me who said the F word? And John Davis said,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I actually think you spelled that with a pH pH
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a T, not F a T. Can you believe there?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: For to them, the F word is fat. Yeah, that's
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: a four letter word. P yeah. Yeah. So we don't
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: say fat, stupid, or shut up or of course not
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: a curse word in the house. So those are the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: bad words. Those are the bad words. And of course
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: nobody can say oh mg, no, no, we say oh
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: my stars and oh my goodness. That's so, you know,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I hope it lasts all right? Now, can we get
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: back to the hint man? Please see, his big problem
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: is going to be changed his story. If he had
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: stuck with his daughter wrote it, of course nobody would
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: believe it. But it could be believe that maybe somebody
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: else could have sent it. You might get one jar
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: on that. But Alan, when he says he sent them
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: to vent that ruined it. He's changed his story. It's
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: over right. I guess you got to pick a story
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and stick with it as the moral of that about
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: don't plan to kill your wife? How about that being
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the moral the duke? How about that stick with pig
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: one story and stick pick with one, pick one lion,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: stick with it. We should just do a podcast on
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: tips for stupid criminals. Please don't, please don't. One tech
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: tip is don't text your crime details because those texts
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: are out there and can be found. They're on a
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: computer there in the clouds. Even write it, you know,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: why even put it in writing? That's so wrong, lazy.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: That's why these are lazy criminals. Actual court documents, say investigators,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: But what really getting to me? I understand when people
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: are angry in their marriage, and you know they're they
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: want out of the marriage, not to the point of murder,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: but to drag the four year old little girl. I mean,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: in writing, Hey Shane, how's it going. You remember you
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: said that you would help me kill my wife. I'm
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: gonna take up on that offer. Dot dot dot dot
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: dot he'. He writes. Life insurance is worth one million,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and if you want a bone, if you want eight bonuses,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: you can kill the little girl. I'm not even gonna
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: give her initials. He writes her initials her life insurancy.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Her life insurance is five hundred thousand. Now wait a minute,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: so she the little girl, is going to write about
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: her life insurance and use her initials. I mean, what's
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the worst that can happen. What's the maximum penalty this
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: guy could get? We already we all know what it
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: might should be. Life usually an attempt, and a lot
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: of jurisdictions is half of what the sentence would be.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: So I guess life would be a sentence for murder,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: so half of that is usually termed out somewhere between
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: fifteen and forty. Now listen to this. He goes on,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: if you can make it look like a robbery going wrong,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: or make it an accident. She works at Walmart, she
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: gets off at eleven. I'll split everything with you fifty fifty.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I'll split everything within the insurance fifty fifty. What about that?
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Then he sends it to his employer by mistake. You know,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I've heard of people accidentally calling up the police chief
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: and in order to plan a crime or some wrong
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: number like that. But this is going to happen more.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Because people are texting so much and to so many
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: different people. It's really hard to keep up with who
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: you're texting at the moment. The way the little screen is. Okay,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I don't really don't
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: have a problem keeping up within I'm texting. So maybe
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I'm just texting enough. But you know that little reading
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: thing you learned in elementary school, that's all you got
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: to do. Just look, you're texting now, Alan, Well, some
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: of us, Yeah, I'm not easy. Um. What about this
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: leads me to think of Dahlia de Polito. Do you
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: remember her? She's gorgeous, She was a an escort okay,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: hooker and she meets the husband. Well, let me rephrase that.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly how they meet. How does a
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: man meet a hooker? But let's not make this about him,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: because according to his lawyers, first she tried to kill
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: him with poison in a Starbucks latte or chy tea
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: or something didn't work. Then she hires a hit man
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and she is busted on video. I covered her, I
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: don't know how many times because it's on video, so
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: it would give my viewers something to look at. They
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: get her on video when she is told by police
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: that her husband is dead, and she bends over and
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: starts wailing. You've got to pull up that video. Now,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you've got to pull it up. Ellen, She's bent over
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: double in her quote pain quote, screaming and crying that
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: her husband is dead. Man. She can fake hyperventilations so well,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: you know, I never get tired of listening to this
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: go on, Dahlia. I wish you could got you guys
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: could actually see the video that goes with this. All
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the cops are just standing there staring at her. One
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: is looking away when scratching his head. Well, she's caught
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: on video planning his murder and saying I'm two, not
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: just one, but two. Sure I want him dead. Can
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: you believe that there has been a mistrial? Even when
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: she's caught on video and she's on house arrest at
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: her mom's house. Somehow, on house arrest she got pregnant. Now,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know how that happened. So she's sitting back
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: lounging at her mom's house after planning to kill her husband,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: waiting for a new trial. What about that. That's all
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: you've got to say is chuckle, chuckle? What if it
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: had worked? I was just looking at this and thinking about,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: you don't want to meet your wife the way that
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Michael Depolito met this woman. He met his wife when
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: he hired her for sex. So you're gonna you're gonna
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: trash him. Okay, go ahead, get it out of your system. Church,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Why not? Church? We are not to meet your future
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: wife a on Craigslist for sex. Well, speaking of church,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: her house arrest conditions only allow her to church, the doctor,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: her in her lawyer's office, and court. Somewhere in there,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: she got pregnant. I don't know how that exactly happened,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: but it did. I imagine she's going to use the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: baby as a prop to get another mistrial or an
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: acquittal of some sort. So that's what I'm looking and
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: she's on video. Her defense is, I hope you're sitting down,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: you know what, you better lay down for this one.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Her defense is that in that jurisdiction they came and
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: shot an episode of Cops, that police planned the whole
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: thing to frame her and get her on video for
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: a Cops episode. I mean, and the sting went on
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: and on. They've got her on video after video after video,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: phone calls, the works arranging his hit and it's still ongoing.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: In fact, it's been back in court in the last
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: few days because the prosecutor wants the defense team reprimanded
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: for trying allegedly trying to taint the jury pool. I
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: talked to the defense many many a time. It's Brian Claypool.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: He's pretty good lawyer. They want him reprimanded, they want
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: him thrown off the case because they claim he's trying
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: to take the jury pool. He's saying no, so forth,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: and you know, I'm just waiting for the report to
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: go back to trial. But she wanted him dead, Dad Alan,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: So it was it was a mistraal because it was
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: deadlock three to three, so you had three three drawers
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: on each side. Yeah, and that's with the video with
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: video her on video. They bought into that bogus bogus claim.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: So it seems like more and more when you hire
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: a hit man, you're actually talking to an undercover police officer,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: especially at that price. I mean it was like, what
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: ten dollars or something like that. If it's hiring a
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: hitman for ten thousand dollars, is that real? Do people
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: really kill somebody for ten dollars? I don't know. Alan
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: they killed for a lot less than that, For Pete's sake.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I remember I had one murder over a five dollar debt.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I sure did. Actually the victim's mother became a very
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: dear friend of mine. Yes, that was over five dollars
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: for so ten thou sure. But remember it's not just
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the what you're paying a hit man, it's also the
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: money involved, like a life insurance policy. I was just
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: thinking about doctor Teresa Sivers. I don't know if you
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: remember that case, but it's like I hear you pouring coffee.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I can hear you, okay, I hear what I want
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: to If something stronger than coffee. I told me to
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: sit down, Okay, then espresso I can hear when I
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: want to alan Okay. But back to Dr Teresa's severs.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: The day she was killed, I knew right then this
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: just was not a burglary. Dare I say, gone wrong
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: because she had a home alarm system and it didn't
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: go off, and I knew right then something was way
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: wrong with that picture. Also. Dr Sievers had gone out
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: of town that weekend for a trip planned by her
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: husband with her daughters. She leaves the husband and the
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: daughters and comes back early alone, and that picture just
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: didn't seem right with me. Say she could go to
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: work the next morning, just just something was way wrong
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: with it. And it was I believe, a hit for money.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: So the husband Dr Sievers husband and his longtime childhood
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: friend that lived in another state, and a third wheel
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: are all now indicted in her murder. You know, as
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I was just mentioning, I've covered so many cases of
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: people that do not have home alarm systems, and is
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: so upsetting because I know people believe they cannot afford
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: a home alarm system. Simply Safe has the answer to
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: that a month and if you go to simply safe
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: dot com slash Nancy, you got another ten percent off.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I have a home alarm system, and I am glad
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: that I do. I can tell you that much. So
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: these hits, I mean, you leave such a trail when
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: you do when you try to murder by a hit man, Alan,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, it just goes to the ld thing. If
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: you want something done, you've just got to do it yourself. Alan,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: another tip to stupid criminals. I'm sorry, we can't use
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: that word, can we. Yeah, I'm just saying. But another
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: thing that you mentioned about this guy sending the text
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: to his boss, how stupid was it. I've even heard
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: that defense in court, not just on air with a
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: bunch of talking heads, but in court where lawyers argue
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: this was too stupid to be real. Stupid is not
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: a defense under the law. Alan, It's just not. If
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: stupid were defense, the jails would be empty practically, because
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: so many of them there are stupid. How many people
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: don't get caught because they're not stupid? Oh gosh. You
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: know people are always talking about the innocent person getting convicted,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: and yes, it does happen. I think it's rare, but
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I'm just telling you that you can't catch all the
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: guilty people. It's like drinking from a fire hydrant. There's
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: too many to catch, especially if there are any smart ones.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens with Jeff Little's case. I'm
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: just thankful that his former boss went to police with
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: these texts, because if he could have passed that off
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: and gotten away with it, it would be a matter
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: of time before his wife was killed and the four
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: year old little girl. In addition to finding this and
