In a shocking incident, Ohio substitute teacher Stephanie Demetrius was arrested for allegedly conspiring to have her estranged husband murdered, offering a high school student $2,000 to carry out the crime. The plot was revealed after the student's mother discovered texts detailing the arrangement. Police reported that Demetrius confirmed the offer during a recorded call, specifying knowledge about her husband's at-home work schedule. This disturbing case underscores the role of vigilant parenting in preventing potential tragedies, as the mother’s intervention played a crucial role in uncovering the plot.
"This particular teacher was attempting to groom this young person into committing murder," Sgt. James Fuqua, with the Columbus Division of Police, told the outlet.
"Without their help, some of this might not have come to light. This was a situation where a parent was able to capture things inside this young person's phone and contact authorities."
"When asked if the neighbors would hear the gunfire, she advised that they don't care about the neighbors," court documents obtained by The Columbus Dispatch stated.
The teacher, who was in the process of divorcing her husband, whom she married in 2004, also told the student her estranged spouse worked from home and noted when her kids would be out of the house.
