A lovers' triangle, a dating website and a murder-for-hire plot ...
say 47-year-old Melody Sasser was upset when David Wallace, a hiking buddy she met on the dating website Match.com, told her he was engaged to another woman and moving to Alabama.The federal complaint quotes a Homeland Security Investigation Special Agent who says Sasser hired a hitman through the dark web-hosted site "Online Killers Market" in January of this year. The agent says a foreign law enforcement agency tipped him off to the plot in late April.
“It needs to seem random or accident. Or plant drugs, do not want a long investigation,” the complaint says the description reads, going on to include even more in-depth descriptions of the victim and her husband’s vehicles and jobs.The complaint says the victim told her husband, retired Department of Energy emergency manager David Wallace, and Sasser, an environmental compliance specialist, were hiking friends in Knoxville before he moved to Alabama.
In response to the news, the complaint says Sasser told him she hoped he and his new wife both “fall off a cliff and die.” Throughout the investigation, the complaint says agents linked Sasser to the account that made the “order for murder” on “Online Killers Market” through her Bitcoin purchases that were used to send money to the account. While the deposits listed in the document only total approximately $3,758.67, the total of the “order” was $9,750.
