Do they provide the story line by identifying the potential victim and the motive, or is that information held confidential? Just curious what incentive a young man has to risk his future and young family?
"Regan Bryan previously pled guilty to conspiracy to commit murder for hire."..[
Obviously we're missing a lot of this story,
Family dinner must be unusual at their house,
The family that slays together, stays together, or something like that.
This sounds eerily similar to another case where a wealthy and powerful pedophile is targeting for assassination by his victims because the (now adult) victims never received justice.
Why are the feds involved in this case?
The feds are involved because whatever this case was it was a federal crime!
18 U.S. Code § 1958 - Use of interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire
(a) Whoever travels in or causes another (including the intended victim) to travel in interstate or foreign commerce, or uses or causes another (including the intended victim) to use the mail or any facility of interstate or foreign commerce, with intent that a murder be committed in violation of the laws of any State or the United States as consideration for the receipt of, or as consideration for a promise or agreement to pay, anything of pecuniary value, or who conspires to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than ten years, or both; and if personal injury results, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than twenty years, or both; and if death results, shall be punished by death or life imprisonment, or shall be fined not more than $250,000, or both.
If anyone knows details concerning the murder plot, please spill the tea!
my understanding was that they were trying to kill her stepdad.
