RHINELANDER. WI (WSAU-WAOW) — A Rhinelander woman accused of trying to hire a hit man to kill her husband was convicted on Tuesday.
Megan Danielczak, 28, entered a no contest plea to attempted first-degree intentional homicide in the Feb. 8, 2018 incident. A judge then found there is sufficient evidence to convict her.
Prosecutors say Danielczak offered three gold rings and $402 in cash to an undercover officer posing as a hit man as a down payment to kill her husband. Police began an investigation after someone reported being approached by her about the murder-for-hire plot.
Court documents do not indicate what she was willing to pay after her husband was killed. A criminal complaint said she wanted to collect on her husband’s life insurance policy.
