Maine Mom and Hit Man

(Brownville, Maine) A 46-year-old local mother with 13 children, Wendy Farley, has been accused of trying to hire a contract killer to murder her husband.

Farley faces a charge of criminal solicitation for murder.

Police Chief Nick Clukey says his department last week received a tip from someone who said he had been offered money by a woman to kill the woman's husband. He did not say how much money was offered.

Clukey tells the Bangor Daily News that police in the central Maine community set up a sting to record conversations between the informant and Farley and made the arrest based on those recordings.

Farley was booked into custody with bail set at $75,000.
