Police: Mom Accidentally Hired a Cop Instead of a Hit Man
A Pennsylvania mom whose only crimes were caring too much and allegedly giving an undercover cop money to murder someone sadly will not be enjoying Thanksgiving at home this year.
Denise Marie Nagrodoski was arrested Tuesday after allegedly giving the undercover cop the go-ahead to take out her daughter's abusive ex-boyfriend, his sister, and his sister's husband.
Police say she originally wanted the cop to shoot the three victims but ended up settling for brute violence.
Ultimately, she allegedly agreed that he would "bash in" the heads of those two victims instead and set their house on fire, because she could not provide him with a gun. Regarding the daughter's ex-boyfriend, she allegedly told the detective to "burn him alive" and make sure he knew she was responsible. Before she left the detective's car after the first meeting, he said, "Once you step out of the car, this is on." She allegedly replied, "I need it done."
For this bloodbath, she allegedly agreed to pay the fake hit man $1,000, and I'm no murder-for-hire expert, but it does seem like a hit man might be the kind of thing you want to pay full price for, like insurance or sushi.
The hit did end up being pretty expensive for Nagrodoski in the end, however—her bail was set at $2 million cash.
