A woman advertised on the popular classified ads site Craigslist for an assassin to kill the wife of a man with whom she'd had an affair, authorities said Saturday. The ad by Ann Marie Linscott, 49, was posted in November as a generic request for somebody to perform a "freelance" job, court documents said. Her true intention was communicated only to those who e-mailed her seeking additional information about the job, the Craigslist CEO said. Linscott offered $5,000 for the hit, had the name and work address of the woman she wanted dead, and described successful candidates as "silent assassins," according to agents and court documents. "I've seen some screwy things, but I've personally never heard of anything like this," said Drew Parenti, special agent in charge of the Sacramento FBI office. "For a person to advertise openly for a hit man on Craigslist." Agents arrested Linscott, whom they say went by Ann Marie and used the simple alias "Marie," on Thursday at her home in Grand Rapids, Mich. Federal prosecutors will ask a judge on Tuesday to make her stand trial in Northern California, where Butte County authorities worked with the FBI to identify the victim and her husband.

First it is adultery, then trying to murder the poor wife of the man she had adultery with. What has society become?
Fatal attraction indeed! So guys before you sleep with someone have her head examined first, better yet don't do it
I think someone meant to say HE and not she. It kinda looks like Farva from SuperTroopers! Haha. God Bless America
in that case, why didn't she go to where the woman worked with a running chainsaw shouting obscenities...would have been a lot funnier!
