Ex-Congressional Candidate Plotted to Kill Husband

(Warren, Ohio) Federal agents arrested Maridee Constanzo for plotting to kill her husband, Roger Bauer, after her accomplice disclosed the scheme to the police. It's alleged that Constanzo was to pay her accomplice $10,000 and a share of her inheritance to kill Bauer.

Constanzo ran in the Democratic primary for the 17th Congressional District seat in 2002 and lost. Interestingly, the 17th Congressional District seat was occupied for many years by Jim Traficant. Then he went to prison for racketeering and bribery.

Jeez! What a shock? Two crooked politicians in one congressional district!

[Update] Another source reports that Roger Bauer called 9-1-1 twice in the last month because of threats from Constanzo. Also, the name of Constanzo's accomplice is Bill Cindea who was to kill Bauer on a May trip to Florida. Constanzo was scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday, but she became ill and had to be hospitalized. When she does go to court, the prosecution is expected to ask the judge to have her remain in custody "so she cannot carry through on her alleged plans."
