DeAnn Parkin has been sentenced to 7 years and 6 months in prison after pleading guilty to the use of interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Idaho. Parkin was convinced her family was destroyed by her ex-husband’s affair with another woman and attempted to hire a hitman to make his lover “disappear completely,” according to federal court documents. Parkin, 31, of Ovid, Idaho contacted who she thought was a hitman on a fake murder for hire website and submitted a request to make a woman “go away” the affidavit says. Parkin gave the name and address of the woman, who lived with Parkin’s ex-husband and met with an undercover ATF agent on several occasions to plan the “hit”, with her last meeting giving the “hitman a diamond ring worth about $1,500, $100, and promised to provide further payments to kill the woman, according to prosecutors.
