According to court documents, Linscott put an ad on Craigslist last November soliciting somebody to perform what was described as a "freelance" job. Only those who responsed to the ad were told exactly what the job involved.
FBI agents say Linscott offered $5,000 to "eradicate" the woman, along with her name and work address. The agent in charge of the Sacramento office says he's heard of some "screwy things," but never anything like this.
