An Oregon woman was indicted by a Federal grand jury on four-counts for allegedly trying to hire an ex-con to murder her ex-husband. According to the charges, Pamela Jean Gygi attempted to hire an ex-con, who is identified in court records as “CW” (cooperating witness), to murder her former spouse Dean Hamill. The former wife’s motive for the attempted murder appears to be a $100,000 life insurance policy that the husband took out as part of the divorce decree. Gygi’s murder plot seems to have fallen apart when the ex-con who she hired went and warned the husband of his former wife’s intentions. Hamil then went and notified the police when he learned about the plan.
