ELWOOD, Neb. (KSNB) – An Elwood woman charged for an alleged murder-for-hire plot is headed to trial court.
39-year-old Valerie Miller is charged with five counts of attempted murder, murder conspiracy, and terroristic threats. On Tuesday Miller waived a probable cause hearing and her case was transferred to Gosper County District Court. Her next hearing is November 14th.
According to the court records, Miller ultimately agreed with the agent and they allegedly made a deal that he would only carry out two murders, on her ex-husband’s girlfriend and the girlfriend’s adult son, for a total of $2,000.
The agent asked for a down payment, to which documents said Miller responded she had no extra money and she would pay them at the end of the week, the investigator states in the affidavit.
Miller then left the parking lot and was pulled over a few minutes later by three NSP-marked vehicles.
Miller’s bail was set at 10% of $500,000.
