A Virginia elementary school teacher and a school nurse are facing charges in what police are calling a murder-for-hire plot.
Angela Nolen, a 47-year-old kindergarten teacher, was arrested Wednesday for allegedly plotting to hire a hit man to kill her ex-husband for $8,000. According to police, Nolens friend 37-year-old Cathy Bennett, a school nurse, worked with Nolen to find a hit man.
According to the Franklin County Sheriffs Office, Nolens plan unraveled when she gave a police officer, working under cover as a hit man, an up-front fee of $4,000 to kill her ex-husband, 63-year-old Paul Strickler.
Strickler, who is the father of Nolens 7-year-old daughter, told the Roanoke Times he had been working on a deal to sell his house to Nolen.
If I was dead, she would not have to give me the money, he told the Roanoke Times. That scares the H-E-L-L out of me. Im just so glad that the state police found out about this and uncovered it.
Stricklers attorney, Stephen Meddy, said his client was distraught when he heard about the alleged plot and that the couples divorce proceedings had raised no red flags. Nolen had full custody of their daughter before her arrest.
