2012 mein ek charchit murder-for-hire case ke dauran, Suzanne Leontieff ka naam media mein charcha ka vishay bana. Woh Frank Howard ki premika thi, jo apni patni, Nancy Howard, ke hatya ka supari dene ke arop mein doshi thehraye gaye the. Is case ke baad, Suzanne apni zindagi se door ho gayi, aur unke baare mein bahut kam jaankari uplabdh hai.
Frank aur Suzanne ki mulaqat 2009 mein Lake Tahoe ke ek casino mein hui thi. Us samay, Suzanne Santa Cruz, California mein dental hygienist ke roop mein kaam karti thi. Frank ne unhe mehngi upaharon se nawaza, jismein ek $900,000 ka ghar bhi shamil tha. Unhone apne sambandh ko gupt rakha, jab tak Nancy Howard par hamla nahi hua.
August 2012 mein, Nancy Howard apne ghar ke bahar goli lagne se gambhir roop se ghayal ho gayi thi. Jaanch ke dauran, Frank ka Suzanne ke saath sambandh saamne aaya, aur pata chala ki Frank ne apni patni ki hatya ke liye supari di thi. Is case ke chalte, Suzanne ko bhi gawahi dene ke liye bulaya gaya tha.
Court mein, Suzanne ne Frank ke saath apne sambandh aur unke daan-dakshina ke baare mein bataaya. Unhone kaha ki Frank ne unhe $900,000 ka ghar kharida tha, aur unke sambandh ki shuruaat 2009 mein hui thi. Unhone yeh bhi bataaya ki Frank apni patni se alag hone ka wada karte rahe, lekin kabhi nibha nahi paaye. Is testimony ke baad, Suzanne apni zindagi mein wapas laut gayi, aur media se door ho gayi.
Aaj, Suzanne Leontieff ke baare mein adhik jaankari uplabdh nahi hai. Unhone apni niji zindagi ko gupt rakhne ka faisla kiya hai, aur media se door rehkar apni zindagi jee rahi hain.
