He was open-minded about the method – initially pushing for a hit-and-run, or a deliberate traffic collision, but later suggesting rasher systems, such as shooting the target and burning her house down. For more than an hour, Monteiro told the officers about the material he had come across after penetrating the website’s messaging system – wannabe organ harvesters, mutilation requests, people aspiring to commit matricide. He suggested that the targets should be told what was going on and flagged up that Yura, undeterred by the Besa fiasco, was now operating a new assassination market, called Crime Bay. It used the same source code as Besa Mafia, which conveniently allowed Monteiro to continue to read the site’s correspondence.

The man who apparently cornered the market in contract killings, sent “48 Hours” a video diary. As Allwine’s murder trial approached in January 2018, authorities were winding down their investigation. We wanted to learn more about the shadowy figure behind the Besa Mafia site. Back in Minnesota, police had been busy investigating Amy’s death since the day her body was discovered.

The Corderos had made three cross-country trips to visit their children — twice in Washington, once in Texas — and knew they could not afford to keep doing so. But it unsettled Christopher and Michelle, who started to feel that the Corderos were using them to hide their children from the Massachusetts child-welfare system. Christopher later claimed that the Corderos asked if they could permanently park their trailer home on the Pences’ property. (Christina told me she had asked to park there only during sanctioned visits.) Eventually, the Corderos rented a space at Good Luck RV in Dallas, a two-hour drive from the Pences’ home in Hawkins. On the way back across the country, the Pences stopped at the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, where the exhibits show humans coexisting with dinosaurs.
Do Hitmen Really Exist? Who Exactly Employs Them?
After an eight-day trial, where Allwine never took the stand, the jury took just six hours before convicting him of first-degree murder. Defense attorney Kevin DeVore countered that authorities never looked beyond Stephen Allwine and that there were other people who may have wanted Amy dead. He says those people could have left clues at the crime scene, but first responders bungled the investigation. Wong Pei Ting covered the case for an online newspaper in Singapore called “Today.” She says, if Vincent is convicted, the notoriously strict Singapore courts may throw the book at him. But in a shocking turn of events, Yura began sending “48 Hours” the names of targets — turning on his own customers. Chris Monteiro found scores of messages between Dogdaygod and Yura discussing how, where and when the hit would take place.
We found that a lot of the sites just don’t feel trustworthy to begin with. There’s a level of desperation to look legit that gives it away.
Mariana Knapitsch Has Hit Out At ‘dumb People’ Who Have Targeted Her Online
Our first priority was figuring out how much danger the targets were really in. And what the messages revealed was that there were no real hitmen. Instead, the administrators would make up excuses for why the murder hadn’t been carried out—the hitman got lost, or the victim was too well protected—before the customer finally gave up.
Woman Who Claims She’s A ‘witch’ Shares Incredibly Disturbing Moment From ‘cult Ritual’
Whether you’re interested to hear stories, conduct an interview or simply need such services, there are ways to get in touch with people. While there are, indeed, many cases of murder for hire over the dark web, the truth is this is a very sensitive topic. People wouldn’t do it randomly with strangers unless they’re desperate. You can find plenty of ads for hitmen, many of them authentic, some of them scams. No, it is illegal to hire a hitman, regardless of where you do it. If you come across any listings for hitmen on the dark web, you should report them to law enforcement immediately.
- “Why would you set up a dedicated site online when you know absolutely that law enforcement are going to be flooding that site trying to find you?” Wilson said.
- Sure, the authorities won’t really bother with a small drug dealer, but a murder leaves a body behind and that’s serious.
- Melody Sasser apparently didn’t like it when her friend, identified in recently unsealed court documents by the initials D.W., told her he was getting married last fall.
- The elusive Yura never showed up, claiming we could have been followed by police.
- With the hit against Amy bought and paid for, the FBI had decided to tell her and Stephen the frightening news.
- In most cases, no actual hitmen were ever involved, just scams or stings.

His overall narrative of being a killer-baiter in shining armour doesn’t hold water. BRspd, the hacker who in 2016 twice broke into Besa Mafia’s website, told me over private chat that he had approached Yura about turning Besa Mafia into an actual honeypot for criminals. In March 2017, they arrested David Crichton, a British doctor who had ordered a hit on his former financial advisor.
The Dark Web Hitman: Myth Or Reality?
Christopher and Michelle Pence hadn’t planned on having an enormous family. They met as teenagers in a community just north of Seattle and married in 1999, when Christopher was 19 and Michelle was 20. Christopher’s dream was to make a fortune in finance and real estate and live in a penthouse in downtown Seattle. After she became pregnant with their fourth child, he had a vasectomy. The Pences were committed Evangelical Christians, and on Sundays they would pile into their 15-passenger Ford Transit and drive north to worship at Valley Bible Church. Afterward, they’d invite church members to their home for fellowship.

When we first tried calling people, we would only get so far before they hung up, thinking (understandably) that we were scammers. So to get around that, we recruited some brave local journalists from each target’s home country to try and reach them in person, and put them in touch with us. We were a couple of journalists stuck at home during the pandemic, and we’d just been handed a list of people with a price on their heads. So we started trying to figure out what to do with the information Chris had handed over—what we’d started to refer to as the ‘kill list’.
Details of the case, first revealed in the Irish Independent, allege that the garda sought a person on the dark web, purporting to offer criminal services, to set fire to a house in which the officer’s former partner lived.

Audio Recordings Reveal Terror Surrounding Minnesota Church Shooting That Left 2 Students Dead, Others Injured
As Stephen Allwine’s trial begins, the State argues he paid Yura to have Amy murdered. But when Yura didn’t deliver, Allwine drugged her and shot her to death himself. Prosecutor Jaime Kreuser says he wanted out of his marriage, but divorce was discouraged in his fundamentalist church. “48 Hours” has been working this story for several months now and a tinge of suspicion has crept into our minds. Chris Monterio has had access to Yura’s database — he knows everything about Yura — and it’s time we ask him an important question. Yura was finished with Sydney, but not with “48 Hours.” He tipped us to yet another plot.
