go away. get away from us. leave her alone. police arrested leon for assault. but that was very short-lived because he was out. i want to say it was within the next day. two weeks later, leon and meghan appeared in court. the judge granted that protective order. he then order to leon be arrested again on the spot. this time for stocking. as officers read leon his rights, was meghan surprised to see a familiar face in the gallery. i notice was valerie sitting in the stands. which i thought was odd. valerie mcdaniel a successful veterinarian in town. recently divorced from her husband of 19 years, mack. meghan met valerie, when she mack and their daughter when they would come over. they would would come over a lot and we would drink wine. we went a couple nightclubs and things like that. she seemed like a nice person. how did leon act around valerie? like it was anybody else. but that was then. on this day in court, meghan thought leon and valerie looked like a coup
quinn s plan was to show photos of the staged scenes to leon and valerie. he wanted them to see the reactions and have a payment for the fake hits. mack went first paying playing the murder victim. was he up for this? yes. they used pigs blood to simulate a head wound. they knew they had to make it look convincing to leon. when you re dealing with a doctor who s probably seen blood, then you d need to be as realistic as you can. he s been shot? yes. shot in the head. yes. meghan s role was different. she played the victim of a kidnapping. we zip tied her hands, zip tied her feet and then duct taped around her mouth. for us this is very clinical, but in meghan s case it hit her, and tears were flowing and she just broke down. there s no words. i m sitting there just hysterical. but i guess it made the photos look better because it was real tears, real emotion.
meanwhile, adam, the undercover police officer posing as a hit man, exchanged texts and calls with leon. i want that to occur of asap, too. this has got to be (bleep) fixed. most of the conversations have to do with leon asking me to hurry up and commence with the murder. we just want these two situations taken care of immediately. later that day, armed with the staged photos, the undercover officer adam went over to leon and valerie s home to tell them he had killed mack, and get them to pay. the male subject is, i m sure you know i m talking about, he s gone. he s done. but leon wanted to talk about meghan and how they were a bad match from the start. she grew up sort of middle lower middle class. this girl she doesn t understand my world. adam returned to the business at hand. said he planned to deal with the meghan next day. she refused to leave town, he would kill her. tomorrow? more than likely, by tomorrow she ll more than likely be dead.
a call from investigators to come back to houston. soon after she arrived, they called again with a surprise. they said, were outside. we need you to get in the car with us. it s like out of a movie. it is. they take me to some law that looks like a junk yard, kind of. there is cars with bullet holes in them. just then, another car pulled up and a man got out. meghan recognize valerie s ex-husband, mack. and learned that he, too was a target of a hit. he just hugged me and he was like, i heard about this like a day ago. i was like, yeah, i ve known about this for some time. but neither meghan nor mack could have anticipated the incredible scheme police had in mind for them. and sgt. frank quinn his officers wanted meghan and mack to participate in, get this, a fake kidnapping and murder. what a bizarre request of someone who is a victim in a potential murder-for-hire plot to say, hey we want you to pose and you re going to look dead. yes.
