Melody Sasser, 47, of Knoxville, was arrested in May after a Homeland Security Investigations probe by agents in Birmingham and Tennessee. Authorities contend the environmental compliance specialist paid $9,750 to have the woman killed.

Sasser reportedly paid for the “hit” with Bitcoin. The federal complaint also showed that Sasser was becoming frustrated the woman had not yet been killed.
