, a student at Umatilla High School told an officer that Hatcher had paid "a lot of money" to put a hit out on her parents.
When police interviewed her boyfriend, he claimed he had seen her at "a known drug house," where she informed him of her intentions. Investigators intercepted Hatcher at her home, where she reportedly admitted paying a friend $400 to murder her mom and dad. When that didn't happen, she said she paid another person $900 to do it. She spent the rest on cocaine.
"Whether it was going to take place or not, the money did exchange hands and we're glad we were able to stop what could've happened," said Lake County Sergeant Fred Jones."When it comes to something like that I cannot imagine the shock you would be in as a parent knowing that this is my daughter — what my daughter intended to do," Sgt Jones said. "This is a sad case when you think about the family dynamics and everything.
"Kids say 'I hate my parents' all the time, those kinds of things... but to get to the point where it starts to circulate in your head that I'm going to go steal the card, I'm going to take money out of the ATM, and I'm going to try to pay someone for this to happen — that's when it does cross the line, and that's when it's a very, very serious charge.
