A Knoxville woman accepted a plea deal on Wednesday for 100 months in prison for hiring an online hitman to kill the wife of a man she met on a dating website, according to authorities.
Melody Sasser, 48, shelled out nearly $10,000 in Bitcoin to a hitman through the dark website ‘Online Killers Market’ in 2023, according to court documents.
Sasser registered herself under the username “cattree” and reached out to the website administrator to advertise her request.
