California Equestrian Arrested for Attempting to Hire Hitmen to Kill Estranged Husband

California equestrian, Tatyana Remley, is currently behind bars after allegedly attempting multiple times to hire hitmen to kill her estranged husband, Mark Remley. According to a statement from the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, Remley is charged with solicitation of murder and two weapons charges. She is currently being held without bail at the Las Colinas Detention Facility in Santee, California, and has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The Investigation The Sheriff's Department launched an investigation into Remley's suspicious activities following a house fire at the ranch owned by the couple in Del Mar, California. Mark Remley claimed to The Coast News that Tatyana intentionally set fire to their home after he allegedly discovered her plan to kill him in early July. However, in the divorce papers filed in July, Tatyana stated that she and a friend were present at the time of the fire but were unaware of its origin. Mark also claimed that Tatyana offered a mutual friend $2 million to kill him. However, the friend declined the offer and informed Mark, who then reported the incident to the police, instigating a sting operation. The Sheriff's office confirmed that they summoned an arson unit to the fire scene, and Tatyana was initially arrested for alleged "firearms-related offenses" after officers discovered three firearms and ammunition on her. Following this, an investigation into her alleged murder-for-hire plot commenced after receiving information about her intentions. The Sting Operation A month after the initial investigation began, Tatyana met with an undercover officer, believing him to be a hitman. According to the Sheriff's Department, "She provided detailed information on how she wanted her husband killed and his body disposed." Additionally, Tatyana brought three firearms and US currency as a down payment for the murder. The meetup and subsequent arrest occurred at a local Starbucks, as reported by The Coast News. A History of Turmoil The Coast News has extensively reported on the Remleys' high-profile business failures. In 2012, the couple ran a short-lived equestrian acrobatics show, which they discontinued after only four shows and over $100,000 of investments. They claimed the show was canceled due to poor ticket sales. However, this decision left dozens of performers unpaid and stranded, along with their horses. Some crew members stated that they had uprooted their lives to travel across the country and join the production, initially planned as a five-city tour. The Remleys married in 2011, and their relationship has reportedly been tumultuous in recent years, marked by numerous separations and reconciliations. Upcoming Court Appearance Tatyana Remley's next court appearance is scheduled for October 16. As she awaits her day in court, the shocking allegations against her have left the community stunned, raising questions about the extent of the troubles between the Remleys and what led to this drastic turn of events. Conclusion The arrest of Tatyana Remley for allegedly attempting to hire hitmen to murder her estranged husband has sent shockwaves through the community. With a history of business failures, a tumultuous relationship, and now charges of solicitation of murder and weapons offenses, the saga of the Remleys' relationship seems far from over.

He would travel south to Arizona in his camper-style van during the winter months, and return to Washington for the warmer ones. This was a lifestyle that Will seemed to enjoy, and it became a yearly routine for him to trek to the desert. In November of 2013, he stopped by his daughter's home in Washington to let her know he was headed out. They made plans to keep in touch weekly via phone, and then Willard left. However, Victoria stopped hearing from her father. Her calls went unanswered. Victoria was able to check Will's bank account and saw that he hadn't used his debit card in weeks, which was very out of character for him. That was when Willard Bennett's family knew they needed to report him missing. Months later, Will's van surfaced, but there was no trace of Will. Nearly ten years later, this case has gone cold with few clues to go on, but his family is still seeking answers.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Willard Bennett, please contact the San Diego County Sheriff's Department at 858-565-5200.This episode was sponsored by:Audible- Visit Audible.com/MIA or text MIA to 500-500 to try Audible free for 30 days.Zocdoc- Go to Zocdoc.com/VANISHED and download the Zocdoc app to sign-up for FREE and book a top-rated doctor.Hungryroot- Get 30% off your first delivery and free veggies for life at Hungryroot.com/VANISHED.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“[This] is one of the great crime mysteries of modern times. It took an author of Caitlin Rother's caliber to bring it into sharp focus. A riveting read.”—Gregg Olsen, #1 New York Times bestselling author“I got a girl, hung herself in the guest house.” The call came on the morning of July 13, 2011, from the historic Spreckels Mansion, a lavish beachfront property in Coronado, California, owned by pharmaceutical tycoon and multimillionaire Jonah Shacknai. When authorities arrived, they found the naked body of Jonah's girlfriend, Rebecca Zahau, gagged, her ankles tied and her wrists bound behind her. Jonah's brother, Adam, claimed to have found Rebecca hanging by a rope from the second-floor balcony. On a bedroom door in black paint were the cryptic words: SHE SAVED HIM CAN YOU SAVE HER. Was this scrawled message a suicide note or a killer's taunt? Rebecca's death came two days after Jonah's six-year-old son, Max, took a devastating fall while in Rebecca's care. Authorities deemed Rebecca's death a suicide resulting from her guilt. But who would stage either a suicide ora murder in such a bizarre, elaborate way? Award-winning investigative journalist Caitlin Rother weaves stunning new details into a personal yet objective examination of the sensational case. She explores its many layers—including the civil suit in which a jury found Adam Shacknai responsible for Rebecca's death, and the San Diego County Sheriff's Department bombshell decision to reconfirm its original findings. As compelling as it is troubling, this controversial real-life mystery is a classic American tragedy that evokes the same haunting fascination as the JonBenet Ramsey and O.J. Simpson cases.“Rother's meticulous journalism shines through in this authoritative account of the Rebecca Zahau death incident. If you think you know this case, think again.

As Los Angeles County inches towards a possible return to an indoor masking mandate, San Diego health officials are urging similar caution. And as San Diego struggles with yet another spike in coronavirus cases, another virus has also been catching the attention of health officials in recent months. According to CDC, there have been over 750 confirmed cases of monkeypox in the U.S., with over 130 of those in California. Plus, the true-crime mystery of the 2011 death of Rebecca Zahau in Coronado took another turn late last week. The Zahau family dropped its lawsuit requesting unreleased documents about the case from the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. Instead, family members say they are now preparing to formally request the Medical Examiner to reclassify the death of 32-year old Zahau from suicide to homicide or undetermined. Also, people who've served time in prison often face big obstacles when they get out. But there are several programs in San Diego County that aim to help make that transition easier. Then, the suicide crisis among military veterans is a well-documented and deeply complicated phenomenon. This same issue among active duty servicemen, however, is increasing at an alarming rate in recent years. Finally, the KPBS podcast Port of Entry is back with new episodes.

Her boyfriend visited with her at her condo, and then he said he left, locking the door behind him. Michelle's roommate found her the next day, beaten, raped and strangled. Police were suspicious of Michelle's boyfriend, but they focused in on a coworker who admitted to stalking her and confronting her boyfriend in a fit of jealousy. Years later, DNA evidence would show that neither of these men killed Michelle. Her case went cold until in 2019, it was reopened by the San Diego County Sheriff's Department cold case unit – and a detective who would crack the case using forensic genealogy. The killer, he would discover, was right there all along – in the detective's high school yearbook.

“[This] is one of the great crime mysteries of modern times. It took an author of Caitlin Rother's caliber to bring it into sharp focus. A riveting read.” —Gregg Olsen, #1 New York Times bestselling author “I got a girl, hung herself in the guest house.” The call came on the morning of July 13, 2011, from the historic Spreckels Mansion, a lavish beachfront property in Coronado, California, owned by pharmaceutical tycoon and multimillionaire Jonah Shacknai. When authorities arrived, they found the naked body of Jonah's girlfriend, Rebecca Zahau, gagged, her ankles tied and her wrists bound behind her. Jonah's brother, Adam, claimed to have found Rebecca hanging by a rope from the second-floor balcony. On a bedroom door in black paint were the cryptic words: SHE SAVED HIM CAN YOU SAVE HER. Was this scrawled message a suicide note or a killer's taunt? Rebecca's death came two days after Jonah's six-year-old son, Max, took a devastating fall while in Rebecca's care. Authorities deemed Rebecca's death a suicide resulting from her guilt. But who would stage either a suicide ora murder in such a bizarre, elaborate way? Award-winning investigative journalist Caitlin Rother weaves stunning new details into a personal yet objective examination of the sensational case. She explores its many layers—including the civil suit in which a jury found Adam Shacknai responsible for Rebecca's death, and the San Diego County Sheriff's Department bombshell decision to reconfirm its original findings. As compelling as it is troubling, this controversial real-life mystery is a classic American tragedy that evokes the same haunting fascination as the JonBenet Ramsey and O.J. Simpson cases. “Rother's meticulous journalism shines through in this authoritative account of the Rebecca Zahau death incident. If you think you know this case, think again. And read this book.” —Katherine Ramsland, professor of forensic psychology and author of The Psychology of Death Investigations
