Four young people have pleaded guilty and been sentenced to decades in prison for their roles as teenagers in an Illinois girl's murder-for-hire plot that killed her mother and critically wounded her father.
Prosecutors said during Tuesday's hearing that Dahlia Bolin, then 15, initially sought out the three others to kill her father because she was having trouble with him, and the plan was later changed to kill her mother as well, CBS affiliate WMBD-TV reported. A specific reason for why Bolin was upset with her parents was never disclosed during the hearing, the station reported.
The details were worked out using electronic devices, they said: Bolin planned to pay her co-defendants $100,000 out of her parents' life insurance and also give them guns. Douglas Bolin later identified the two guns used in the attack as weapons he owned, prosecutors said.
