Hitman for Hire: Jazmin Paez and Wendy Lynn Wein
A Murderess Affair

Now, there’s a website, which I’m not going to name directly but I promise it exists, that falsely advertises hitmen for hire. Something that started as a joke according to the “About” section, and yet has now been used multiple times to find people who actually...

About the recent Supreme Court decision, founder Heather Booth said, "It's certainly against the promise of this...
