An Indiana woman who posed as a teen on Facebook in order to trick her soon-to-be ex-husband into behaving poorly, got more than she bargained for when he revealed that he was plotting to kill her.

Fox News is reporting that Angela Voelkert, 29, who was involved in a messy divorce with her husband, David, 38, created a fake profile of a teen named Jessica Studebaker, complete with a picture of an anonymous teen, then became Facebook friends with him with the hopes he’d say something incriminating.

An on-line “friendship” blossomed and David eventually revealed that he had secretly placed a GPS tracking device in his wife’s van that would be used to find her when he was ready to have her killed. He even went so far as to ask “Jessica” if she knew anyone who would commit the murder for $10,000.

“I have a GPS on her van, so I know where she is all the time,” he allegedly wrote in an email message. “I am going to find someone to take care of her and now it will be easier because I know where she is at all times.”

According to court papers, he wrote: “Once she is gone, I don’t have to hide with my kids. I can do what I want and not have to worry about not seeing my family anymore. . . . I am done with her crap!”

He then asked “Jessica” to run away with him after his wife was out of the picture.

Voelkert, a video and audio-equipment salesman in South Bend, was arrested Friday and charged with illegally installing the GPS device, but could be faced with more serious charges.
