18yearold arrested for trying to hire hitman to kill her 3yearold son on humor site
A young woman has been arrested after trying to hire a hitman to kill her threeyearold son. Jazmin Paez, 18, searched for the pro through the Rent a Hitman (Hire a Shooter) website, but little did he know that the site was a parody of the humor of portals on the deep web.
According to CBS, investigators said they were contacted last Tuesday (18) by Bob Innes, the administrator of the fake website. According to him, the site was created precisely to denounce people interested in the services of an assassin.
In an online form, Paez allegedly wrote that he wanted to kill his son “to do something once and for all.” The request was that the boy be “taken far, far, far away and possibly killed, but as soon as possible”.

Police said the suspect provided the child’s address and a photo as a convenience. They then determined the IP address of the computer used and reached out to the minor’s grandmother. The agents then pretended to be the hired assassin and spoke to the young mother, who confirmed the request and agreed to pay US$3,000 (about R$14,500 at current exchange rates) for the service.
Paez was eventually arrested and luckily her son was found alive and well. However, this Thursday (20), the young woman was released on $15,000 (R$72,000) bail and was banned from contact with the child.
She was released after posting $15,000 bail.
In an interview with the American broadcaster NBC6, the suspect’s father said that the case is not what it seems. The man enthusiastically told that his daughter had many complications throughout her life. “My daughter is not a monster,” he claimed.
“She is a little girl who was born with health problems. She has retained fluid in her throat. She had 12 surgeries and lost the ability to move her face. She was bullied at school, called ‘the monster,'” he added. The father also assured that he was confident that the judiciary would bring the truth to light.
