they were looking for. they had the money paid to the undercover officer. and so, the spring there. track right now, we re going to redo your. writes me? they arrested leon and valerie for solicitation of capital murder. and revealed there was no murder and no kidnapping. meghan and mack we re alive and well. they had no idea. they believed that their issues had been taken care of. they had no more problems. so immediately, go from the death notification to your under arrest for solicitation of capital murder that s ahead snapper? yeah, that will get your attention. was valerie mcdaniel a murderous mastermind or another victim of leon jacob? coming up couldn t believe that this was happening. to my sister. look could ve driven salary to do this? i hate the idea that every everybody thinks i m a monster. she tells her story and leon
evidence. to see what it is that they want. also to discuss payment. when leon showed up, he was not alone. we followed leon to the table where we sat down. we were introduced to valerie. that s right, valerie was mcdaniel. the person who bailed him out of jail. when the conversation started, leon didn t sound like someone trying to hire a hitman. he said he would just be happy if meghan went back to pittsburgh. i don t want to hurt her. as they ate their pasta, leon stone hard. and make it very clear to her that if she doesn t listen this time, there is going to be some severe consequences. during the conversation, leon said that he wanted adam to try another tactic. plan some drugs on megan. if she gets pulled, over chest cocaine. she s not credible anymore. and leon had a more sinister
quinn. . a son or you have a man and woman who both want their excess dead? yes. isn t that beyond bizarre? i ve never seen anything like that before and it was really shocking. the making burrowed up. adam and taz promised to be in touch. but police thought that they had a case. but to make it stick, they needed money to change hands. and they had a wild elaborate plan to make that happen. coming up they said you need to get in the car with us. undercover seed number two. we zip tied her hands, her feeds, and duct tape to her mouth. i was sitting there, hysterical. when dateline continues. ontinues
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, exchange texts and calls with leon. i want that to a concur of asap, to. this is 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. and that s it. i d rather not. i understand you prefer not. but i can t give you a 100% guarantee. leon should the undercover officer a pile of cash wrapped in a dish towel. a payment for homicidal services rendered. 1800 dollars in cash with the promise to pay me the remainder of the $10,000 at a later time. what does that say to you in that moment? like, this guy is obviously serious. that s what told me there was no going back. he was dead serious about it. the next day, adam texted leon that photo of meghan crying, zip tied and duct tape,. didn t respond, so the undercover officer called to tell him he had to kill meghan. there is no reasoning with her. she just put too much risk on us and she doesn t care about leaving.
