My father then married twice, but, the third one didn’t work out super well.” My father didn’t get along with his new wife and as they were finalizing divorce proceedings, my father had a conversation with her where he said, “I’m gonna kill you.” So she called the cops, and he went to jail for the death threat.” He tried to contact a hitman from inside prison. The person he tried to contact for a hitman went straight to the police. The police set up a sting operation and he got ten years for conspiracy to commit murder.”
