In 2006, a man named Michael Kuhnhausen paid a hitman $50,000 to murder his wife, Susan Kuhnhausen. He wanted her dead. He wanted it to look like a robbery gone wrong. He wanted to walk away clean with no suspicion and no consequences.
He hired a man named Edward Haffey to do the job. The weapon was a hammer. The plan was simple. Break into the home. Attack Susan. Smash her skull. Take a few items to make it look like a burglary. Leave before anyone noticed. Collect the money. Go home. That was the plan.
