Federal investigators said a Pennsylvania woman used the Web site hitmanforhire.com to attempt to have her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend killed.

Marissa Mark, 28, formerly of Allentown, Pennsylvania., was arrested in Jersey City on allegations she used the web site to make a $19,000 down payment to a hit man to kill a woman identified only as A.L.R. of California. The FBI said Mark hired the Web site's creator, a Las Vegas casino dealer named Essam Ahmed Eid, to shoot the woman in the head in September 2006.

However, investigators said Eid confronted A.L.R. and told her he could not kill her because she looked like his daughter. He allegedly offered to kill Mark on her behalf. A.L.R. contacted authorities and Mark was arrested, the report said. Investigators said Eid is believed to have fled to Ireland.

I can't help but think that, with a web address like that one, it was only a matter of time before someone noticed what was going on!
