She hated her ex so much she had asked her new boyfriend to kill him off. http://www.people.com/people/mobile/article/0,,20992567,00.html Laura Ann Buckingham is known around the Louisville area as a famous baker, having even appeared on the cover of Southern Indiana Living last fall. But now she stands accused of cooking up something far more sinister. Buckingham, 29, a former Marine, is charged with attempted first-degree murder for allegedly plotting to hire a hit man to kill her ex-boyfriend, Bradley Sutherland, who is also the father of her child, PEOPLE confirms. Police and prosecutors in Roane County, Tennessee, outlined the charge in a statement. "She acted with intent to complete a course of action that would constitute the offense of premeditated murder by hiring and paying another to kill Bradley Sutherland and thereby taking a substantial step toward the commission of that offense," the statement said. ---------------------------- SHe was in a custody battle against the ex. Is that deep? How did you handle the break up of an ex?
Wow! It's one thing for her to want the ex murdered, but how bright could the new guy be to go along with her plan. Someone says/suggests that to me.... We're done, and I'd wish her well on getting help to deal with her issues.
So she'd rather kill the father than let him have primary custody? Now the dad will get full custody by default, how ironic LOL
#1 - You must not be a parent #2 - You forgot to add in the fact that there is a substantial amount of money involved (business division, support payments, custody payments, etc). She wouldn't be the first person, male or female, to want to bump off her mate in this situation. She's just one of the many who got caught attempting to do so. I mean, just imagine, people will hire hitmen to bump someone off for money. Your child - Priceless.
I am a parent and went through a divorce . I know its messy. Been there. The thing is that its stupid stupid. She isnt breaking massive bread. they aren't that invested into each other cause they arent married or was married. It was all about power. Unless something different I don't know , the only thing was child support involved
Marriage doesn't determine how invested people are in (or how much they feel) each other. People will do all sorts of crazy things if they don't want the other person to be with their children.
Sir, I disagree. I get that they're strong feelings and such in custody battles/joint custody/child support and so on, but it is what it is. Admittedly, I'm not a parent, but I know plenty of parents in these situations. Some absolutely hate their ex, but they're not looking to have the person killed. However, I know some would be thrilled if the ex died.
Yup. I have been in situations where I wished a significant other would just go the opposite coast or wherever and I never heard from them again. But to contemplate killing someone for personal gain, nope. I can't see that. And how come her new man couldn't see she setting his ass up to take a huge fall if anything came out about their murder plot?? She could always say he was jealous of her ex and got the plan all on his own to kill him. I wonder how often people actually do get away with murder.
The inherent selfishness of people who do stuff like this is what strikes me the hardest. I assume she loves her child and wants him to be happy, yet she was willing to hurt the child by taking one of his parents away forever. And ironically, that's exactly what she did.
I have a lot of male/female friends who have gone through this. Your child is supposed to stay in the same state - sometimes they don't and the court won't enforce it. I got buddies crying all the time because they don't know where there kid is. I know parents who haven't seen and don't know where their child is after the custodial parent took off running. It doesn't take a lot to justify moving your kid across the country where it's not convenient or is too expensive to travel. For all of the support you pay you get 1 or 2 weekends per month. Plus you still have to pay your support when (*If) you get to have them for a 1 or 2 week vacation period. Then there's some person loving and raising your child/being recognized as mom or dad. On the other hand, it could be a moron bonin' the ex and whooping up on your child. You don't get any tax break for all of the support or custody monies paid. Whoever has the child gets the dependent write off/benefit. There is so much more to this, but it's not an easy situation to be in. If you're living through it and it's working please know that you are blessed. ...all the idiots out here boiling babies in bath water, frying them in a car while they shop/go to work, killing them so they can have more free time and then there's the ape, lion and alligator - pure negligence.
Yes you go thru that. There are women who try to alienate the father. I went thru that. I represented myself for the most part. I filed "motions" and "interrogatories" and all kinds of crap. If they dragged ass I told them they would be in contempt if court. The hardest thing is proving u arent getting visitations. In any case its contempt of court five days in jail. My ex and I are cool. So I see my kid all the time when I can and the phone calls are frequent. The bros should be getting together and lacing each other on the game but I'm going to chill on that point.
It probably ranks up there with the number of serial killers running around on the loose :smt042 You'd be surprised how many people would wack their ex if there weren't rules or laws against it. I bet that the gov't covers up how many attempt to kill their child's other parent. I did read a stat that said damn near twice as many women (11k) were killed in domestic violence situation as US soldiers dying in Iraq (6k). As women continue their moral downfall, men have started getting wacked more and more often. Look at the news and violent crime increase - we had the female astronaut, woman who bumped hubby off feeding him antifreeze, etc. Do you know how easy it is for a woman to shoot her husband, turn around and play victim, getting everyone's sympathy? There's a lot of crazy people out their acting on their rage...and many of them with the ability to plan something long term to take an unknowing mate - out.
