EVIL Julia Merfeld desperately wanted out of her failing marriage, but instead of just dumping her husband, she hired a hit man because “it was easier” than getting a divorce.
Thankfully, her sinister plan fell apart when the “hit man” turned out to be an undercover cop – and now the 21-year-old vixen is behind bars.
Julia and her husband, Jake, 27, had been married for four years and had two young kids together. But Julia wasn’t happy, so she decided to approach a co-worker about having Jake killed.
Along with getting rid of her unwanted husband, authorities say she was also after a $400,000 life insurance policy Jake had from his days as a member of the U.S. Coast Guard.
When the co-worker realized Julia wasn’t joking, he went to the police in Muskegon, Mich., where Julia and Jake lived.
