Activists express disappointment in local trend of women hiring hitmen to do their dirty work

On August 2 of last year, failed horse show promoter Tatyana Remley met with an undercover sheriff’s detective and tried to hire him to kill her husband Mark. On December 28, she confessed to the crime in court, and was sentenced to a little over three and a half years in prison. The sordid affair comes just a few years after Diana Lovejoy hired a man named Weldon McDavid to kill her estranged husband Greg Mulvihill. “Frankly, it’s appalling,” says Girls With Guns founder Elayne Triggerfinger. “There is simply no reason on earth why, in today’s day and age, both of those women couldn’t have followed Betty Broderick’s example and done the deed themselves, thus eliminating both their problem and the involvement of other people. Other people, I might add, who proved in both cases to be the weak link in the chain. Sisters are doing it for themselves in all areas of life now. They outnumber the men on college campuses! The future is female! But this trend of turning to a man when things get tough is worrying. I only hope that the young women of today don’t follow their sad example.”
