A federal judge sentenced a Tennessee woman who hired a hit man to take out her desired boyfriend’s fiancee to more than eight years in prison, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Tennessee.

Melody Sasser, 48, pleaded guilty to interstate commerce of facilities in commission of murder-for-hire, prosecutors said. She must also pay over $5,300 to the victim and serve three years probation after she’s released from prison.

The information, which came from a “foreign law enforcement agency,” allegedly showed messages from a person using the name “cattree” on the OKM website to solicit the murder of a woman married to an retired Air Force veteran.

The name of the alleged target in the deadly scheme is redacted from court documents.

Investigators say Sasser placed the order for a hit on the man’s wife on Jan. 11, 2023 in Prattville, Alabama. The hit “needs to seem random or an accident. [O]r plant drugs,” Sasser allegedly wrote, adding: “[D]o not want a long investigation.”
