NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: Hate Makes You Do Stupid Things
Marissa Mark is a real Jerseyite. So much so, she lives in Jersey City, NJ. So she knows a thing or two about getting someone whacked, right? Um, not so much. Mark went looking for a hit man on - get this - a Website called Hireahitman.net and she put a $19K down payment on the contract using PayPal and three credit cards that did not belong to her, reports CNET:
[A]s the Philadelphia Inquirer reports, this was a site created by Essam Ahmed Eid, a former poker dealer at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.
It seems that Eid might not have been much of a hitman. Instead, his modus operandi was allegedly to go to the targeted souls, tell them about the hit, and ask for money to have the hit diverted. …
Eid allegedly flew to meet the target - a woman only referred to as A.L.R.- and reportedly told her he couldn't kill her because she looked too much like his daughter. Alleged hitmen, it seems, have feelings.
Perhaps that's why he is now behind bars in Ireland. According to the Las Vegas Sun, that's reportedly due to another botched attempt at hitting the hitman jackpot. …
According to the U.S. Attorney Office in Philadelphia, Mark has been charged (PDF) with conspiracy to use interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire, use of interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire, three counts of aggravated identity theft, attempted access device fraud, and aiding and abetting.
Editorial Note: The Stiletto suspects that Mark is related to this fellow.
