In 2010, Bob Innes, the owner of a website called RentAHitman.com, received a strange request via email. The message came from a British woman named Helen, who was stranded in Canada without her passport. However, instead of asking for help, Helen had a darker request—she wanted to hire a hitman to eliminate three family members back in the UK. She claimed they had cheated her out of her inheritance and wanted revenge.
At first, Bob wasn’t sure if Helen was serious or if this was just another prank email. But when she followed up, providing personal information about her family members, including their names and addresses, Bob knew he had to take action.
Unfortunately, Helen was not the only one to contact Bob.
