A Pennsylvania teen and her boyfriend were arrested last week after plotting to kill her stepfather for catching them sleeping together.
According to the New York Post, Angelina Grace Peluso,16, and her boyfriend 19-year-old Dillian Mikel Weaver allegedly tried to hire a hitman to kill Howard Blackburn. An arrest report states the teen couple were upset when Blackburn caught them in bed together Thursday morning and Peluso lied to Weaver claiming that Blackburn sexually assaulted her. After receiving the message on Snapchat, Weaver contacted another woman on the social media platform to have Blackburn killed.

The messages said: “He gets off work at 5:30 so we’d have to be there before him and get him as soon as he gets out of his truck before he goes inside. We need to cover our faces … they have cameras there. Just gotta take his body and dispose of him somewhere. So he’s never heard from..or found,”

The unknown woman handed Weaver the hitman’s contact information and he told the unidentified man how to find Blackburn and murder him. However, the man turned the couple over to the authorities that evening and believed the plot was a joke. He and another undercover cop picked up Weaver the following Friday and their conversation was recorded where he detailed how he wanted to kill Blackburn.
Weaver and Peluso were arrested and charged with criminal solicitation to commit first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and criminal use of a communication device.
