Cops: Woman Uses Ex's Credit Card for Hit
OSWEGO, N.Y. (AP) -- A 25-year-old woman was charged with trying to hire a man to kill her ex-husband, and police say she used one of his credit cards to pay for the would-be hit man's flight from Australia.
Police Capt. Michael Dehm said it was a report of an unauthorized $2,824 credit card charge from the ex-husband that led authorities to Terra L. Endres, 25.
Endres was arrested Monday and charged with second-degree criminal solicitation and first-degree identity theft, both felonies. She was being held in the Oswego County Jail in lieu of $5,000 bail.
Keith Costello said he and Endres were married in 1999 and divorced in 2002. The couple had two children, who are now in Costello's custody.
Dehm said he did not know how Endres and the man from Australia became acquainted, but that the two had been communicating by phone and the Internet for months.
Oswego Police worked with the FBI on the case. The man from Australia was detained when he arrived in Los Angeles. Authorities declined to name the man, saying their investigation was continuing.
