A woman from Garner North Carolina is being held in lieu of bail for conspiracy to commit murder. She was charged with one felony count of identity theft and three felony counts of obtaining property by false pretenses. She allegedly conspired with a man she met online to kill her mother for the $20,000 of life insurance money. A family member of the accused woman called the police after finding that her phone had sent and received messages where she discussed poisoning her mother for life insurance money. She and her online partner discussed methods and means of poisoning including arsenic, and potassium/sodium cyanide solution. She claimed that she sent the messages to her online friend, but meant no harm to her mother, and because he was “not real” she didn't think anything of it. She claimed she had never met her online conspirator. She had been involved in this online romance scam for months and had abused her authority as power of attorney for a friend and withdrew $12,000 to send to the man. She had also taken out loans using her mother and son's personal information. She is being held in lieu of $690,000 bail.
