<article id="ra-body">A failed marriage followed by a failed murder-for-hire plot landed a 35-year-old Florida mother of three behind bars for the next two decades.<br />
Rachel Leahy of Bradenton in Manatee County, has gone from wanting desperately to regain custody of her children at the end of her marriage to a man nearly twice her age and segued into <a href="http://konniemoments.com/2016/09/13/bad-to-the-bone-florida-woman-charged-with-trying-to-buy-a-5000-hit-on-ex-husband-asked-undercover-cop-if-her-ex-could-be-made-into-a-sex-slave-instead-unemployed-natalie-lea/">trying to have her ex-husband killed.</a><br />
In August, 2016 Leahy met with an undercover sheriff&#8217;s detective posing as a hitman detailing how she wanted her former spouse to be kidnapped, taken to another country and turned into a sex slave.</p>

She also told the fake hitman that he could make the death look like an accident and set it up so it appeared her ex died in a fire or by drowning.<br />
The Sheriff&#8217;s office notified her ex-husband is David Leahy, 60, of Sarasota, Fla., that his ex-wife had hired someone to try to murder him.<br />
David Leahy had filed for divorce in September 2011 and, three months later, “Rachael Leahy filed a domestic violence injunction against him. She had him arrested for battery in 2012, and he sued her and a moving company in Manatee County, Fla.<br />
They were still in family court regarding their children a few weeks before Rachael Leahy’s arrest&#8217;</p>

<p>Authorities said Leahy hatched her sinister plan because she wanted custody of their children.<br />
Leahy met with the undercover officer several times to give him information about her ex-husband and a photo of him. After agreeing on a fee of $5000 the unemployed Natalie paid the fake hitman $2,500 with the intention to pay him the other half after collecting insurance payout on a policy controlled by her ex.<br />
In one video from the meetings, Leahy allegedly said that she saw no other way to work out the custody battle with her ex than to have him killed.<br />
&#8220;The only thing that matters is I don&#8217;t get to see my children,&#8221; she said.<br />
&#8220;There&#8217;s no other resolution to this other than him to be gone completely.&#8221;</p>

<p>Leahy reportedly planned to be in the Caribbean while the murder was taking place.<br />
During her court appearance Monday, Leahy said she tried hiring a hitman because she was desperate to get her kids back.<br />
&#8220;I will have to live the rest of my life with all the things that I&#8217;ve done. I&#8217;ve let everyone down,&#8221; she said, <a href="http://wfla.com/2017/06/05/murder-for-hire-sentencing-today-for-woman-who-considered-having-ex-husband-kidnapped-made-into-sex-slave/">according to WFLA</a>. &#8220;I did a terrible thing to bring my babies back to me. Looking back at what I did, I truly believe I was out of my mind.&#8221;</p>
