Susan Williams, Wealthy Long Island Wife, Hires Cop to Whack Husband Peter Williams

Describing the divorce of Peter and Susan Williams as "bitter" would be an understatement. For the past year, they've been fighting over custody of their four children -- ages 11 to 19 -- as well as the assets of his lucrative fence company...

The warfare has gotten downright nasty. Peter accused Susan of turning the kids against him, lying about his wealth to get $11,000 a month in child support, and sleeping with her former boss, a real estate lawyer.

Susan accused Peter of stiffing her on said child support, being physically violent with their kids, and forcing her to have deviant sex.

At first Peter Williams' wife only wanted him maimed. But when she learned he could be whacked for the low, low price of $20,000, she supersized her order

A few weeks ago, Susan decided to up the ante by having Peter beaten. She went to an unnamed man in an attempt to hire a goon to maim her husband. But the guy went to police instead, then set up a meet with an undercover posing as a hit man.

Susan initially just wanted Peter to take a beating. She didn't think she could afford to have her husband whacked. But when the fake hit man suggested a fee of $20,000, Susan supersized her order to murder.

"Initially it was, 'I want him hurt,'" Nassau County DA Kathleen Rice told the New York Post. "Then it became, 'I want him gone.' ...She didn't think she could afford [a hit]. She didn't realize it was so cheap. When the $20,000 amount was thrown out, she then made it clear what she wanted him to do."

Naturally, police secretly recorded the conversation when she put in her order. She gave the cop a $500 down payment, her husband's photo and personal information, his work and home addresses, plus his license plate number. Cops gave her numerous opportunities to back out, but Susan was steadfast in her desire to purchase.

She's now charged with conspiracy and solicitation, and faces up to 25 years in the slam if convicted.

Are you retarded ? She got hpv from cheating on him, he sounds like a decent guy, she sounds like she was willing to murder her kids father, how is she equal to him in any way ?
She deserved 25 to life for stupidity. Change the beneficiary of the one million life ins. with a forged signature and try to hire a hitman.You deserve the max.

Katie: Peter committed Infidelity, ENOUGH CHEATING TO GIVE HER CANCER. HE's a drunk, DUI's and manipulative pompous ASS! He sued Her continually over years NOT HER SUING HIM. Nice man??? He allowed their home to go into foreclosure. SCUM as she referred to Peter is putting it mildly. WHAT IS SO GREAT ABOUT HIM? caused her sleepless nights and nightmare to go through cancer???? Yes, Peter's repercussions broke her into a person I'm quite sure she didn't know in the mirror. Yes, it is something when you THINK YOU KNOW SOMEONE AND AFTER 20 year marriage you would think a wealthy married couple could get a divorce. Why did Peter drag it out? And she's GREEDY??? I do not agree with her behavior caused by Peter's actions. Why didn't he just agree to divorce? All four children and parents suffer. But I can assure you she wasn't a born killer and her sleepless nights were caused by Peter's repercussions. How do I know? I'm living it? Will I commit a crime like this. NO! but I can say I sure think of it and I'm not the only one out there. Same goes to Husbands as well. No divorce is easy. None but when you as i am going on my third attorney in four years have two beautiful boys see how we live and my soon to be x husband who is as well manipulative, scum, cheater I'll add liar, thief and kept man. He walked into my life drained me and my family in many both financially and emotionally. Susan says emotions. What are they? I can't feel yeh me too when you are numb you don't!!! No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. Marriage is work and sad to find out in the end of it, who is this person?i i didn't introduce him to bankruptcy, repossessed car, as you go to pick up your 8 yr old from school and can't and lucky enough to have my parents live around the corner to be able to pick him up. Forging income tax check (fed crime) allowing to be deposited into an account with both names on it which bank is legally held responsible too. House almost foreclosed, cheated and is with the woman now and she can have him because he is nothing but a kept man. Her turn now and good luck wish her the best. She will need it. You lay awake with sleepless nights that don't end. Hoping and Praying and trusting attorneys and the law for just what is at least fair. So you can move forward to the future breathing without afraid to exhale. Forget the past why not? He did!!!! and and stop these present days of hell on earth. Yes, no matter what I'm leaving it up to the law! And this case doesn't come close to the amount of money, life style they shared. I'll pray for her and her children and her family. And Peter well he knows the truth!

Lol!
Divorced Barbie A man was driving home one evening and realized that it was his daughter's birthday and he hadn't bought her a present. He drove to the mall and ran to the toy store and he asked the store manager "How much is that new Barbie in the window?" The Manager replied, "Which one? We have 'Barbie goes to the gym' for $19.95 ....'Barbie goes to the Ball' for $19.95 ....'Barbie goes shopping' for $19.95 ....'Barbie goes to the beach' for $19.95 ....'Barbie goes to the Nightclub' for $19.95 ....and 'Divorced Barbie' for $375.00". "Why is the Divorced Barbie $375.00, when all the others are $19.95"? Dad asked surprised. "Divorced Barbie comes with Ken's car, Ken's House, Ken's boat, Ken's dog, Ken's cat and Ken's furniture."
hell hath no fury too bad she didn't get cancer before having a daughter like that
@bbk it tokk 20 years but now they actually talk to each other on occassion. good thing they live on different coasts...lol
Mecede, my parents divorced when I was in the third grade...so I was young enough that my mother person could say anything and I'd believe her...she was and still is a very bitter, angry and vindictive person.
Susan sounds like the psycho bitch from hell.
Mmm... white powdery substance...
@bbk i know, my mom tried that stuff with us. i was 17 when my parents divorced but i was old enough to know what was going on. i told her that he might not be your husband anymore but he will always be my father, she didn't like that but it is the truth......it was harder on my little brother he was 7 when they divorced but i still took him to see dad whenever he wanted to.
Mecede...they do...but II think it's a lot more common for a bitter mom to turn the kids against the dad...usually cause the dad did the walking out...but men do the mom bashing too...that's why when people divorce they need to not use their kids as pawns and be as civil as possible...
I just read a little more online that Lexys boyfriend was arrested for jury tampering and had a white powdery substance in his possesion. All that wasted college education money for her...I hope she can make a better name for herself...
@bbk not just women, men do it too! i had a friend that her father would say negative things about her mother. it really messed her up....she needed therapy b/c of it.
Gave her cancer? I didn't know that was something you could give to people...Bitter women are very good at manipulating their children against their father...my mother person did that crap with me...it is a total psycho chick thing....
@moet ELMO! ELMO! ELMO! ELMO! ELMO! ELMO! tickle me................lol
Oh yeah, I saw this was on earlier. I wasn't interested enough to watch it... that and I had a two year old demanding Elmo so... I get the gist of it.
@bbk yeah, she was soooooo out there.....with all the evidence, i can't believe that the daughter would be on the mom's side. makes you wonder what she told the kids when Pete moved out of the house. i know they said that she told the kids that their father gave her cancer.....that was on the show---but it also said that Pete had tested negative for the virus....she could've gotten it from the guy that she cheated on with....
Dateline won't be on here until later tonight...I'll have to watch it...sounds like a whole lot of crazy....
I wish I had an extra 20 grand laying around to blow on that. If I needed an ex gone I think I could handle it myself. That's just too much to spend. Lucky for my ex I'm cheap. :)
@ Cat I agree about the daughter...that recording of them talking was creepy. Like mother... like daughter...
@cat in the dateline show, they said that Pete tested negative. did you ever think that she got it from the other guy? she admitted that she cheated on Pete.
She got greedy..wow I wish I could receive 11k a month...I agree her daughter "Lexy" seems just as psycho as her mother. She obviously was no Criminal Justice major. Whoever marries her will have the materlistic issues like her mom...crazy William females...no shame..
He sounds like quite a catch. Letting the house go into foreclosure instead of letting her have it for the children. What if he did give her HPV? It's not all one-sided. Should she have hired someone to kill him? No. He sounds no better than her. The children are the victims and it sounds like one of her daughters will turn out like her mother. Buyer beware.
@jim b did you see her after she was in prison for a while? All grey & moldy looking..hey if that's your type then go for it.....
just watched this on Dateline NBC.... what a crazy selfish bitch---and the one daughter is just like her.........hopefully the sons will turn out better......!!!!!!!!
She is pretty hot.. crazy.. but I'd do her!
KATIE - please contact Kieran Crowley at the New York Post. You may remain anonymous.
Cut the crab guys.
Ok, this is the most "beautiful" thing I have ever heard. "Beautiful" in the sense that this woman had EVERYTHING a person could have..young children...was a seemingly attractive woman (based on the pictures Ive seen)...NO JOB & $132k per year to be a HOUSEWIFE...and she got greedy & got what was comming to her. "Beautiful" because it always does my heart good to see good thigs happen to deserving people...and bad things happen to equally deserving people. "Beautiful"...just "beautiful"...:)
What a sad story,well at least for the kids,on the other hand it's funny,at least for anyone who has dealt with ex wives and child support and all the b.s. that goes with it. He is laughing all the way to the bank,cha-ching,cha-ching.No more dealing with the ex at least for a while.Thank goodness someone had the sense to go to the police and not follow through.
Katie, Sounds like you knew Mr. Williams pretty well, wink wink.
It's true she cheated on him with the real estate lawyer she worked with in Mineola - Tom Toscano. At more than one office event - especially the Christmas parties she was enebriated. She drank all the time. She spent her husband's money as if it grew on trees. She's a scheming, wanna bem piece of trailer trash. She will get what she deserves. Peter is a kind sweet guy from a loving family who would never hurt or endanger his children. Those children belong with him for good as well as the marital property and assets. May Susan Williams rot in jail.
LOL. Looks like he's looking over his shoulder already.
@Carol - It might be a large sum of money. Then again it might not be. If she got the house & property taxes are in the 5 figure range. I would not consider that unusual for NY. If she got the house she might need to move to something less expensive, but when have some people given up & downscaled willingly. Might not be able to sell a house in this market. She is WRONG for putting a hit on her ex. But as far as finances, we really don't know. The 11K needs to be put into context of the local cost of living. And she should move if she can't make it there. Anyway, anybody making over 30K a year is rich.
Poor lady. She could not live on 11,000 a month. Gosh when I got my divorce down in the dark ages, my ex only had to pay 100.00 a month. And I never collected. Back then you could not get a father to support his kids, unless you took him back to court. Then when he still did not pay and you went back again, you were told that if you had him arrested for non support you would not collect. But since you were not getting the money anyway, you were no worse off. It was then that the father took off to another state and you got nothing anyway. And there is a statute of limitations. Evidently in some states if the child in question finds the father he can sue for that back support, IF, he finds him within ten years of his majority age. If not...zip. If this woman could not live on this amount she must be the worst money manager on the planet. Looking back, there were times I wanted my ex wacked. But not enough to leave my kids or go to prison. No amount of hate is worth that.
@ Goes. I prefer a little more serious discussion instead of inane/insane comments (think Bill Mancock) or goofy comments. Pete must have led a sheltered life. I've only heard about it, but I'm surprised that my comment about quarters wasn't deleted too.
@ GOES, It surprises me that they removed that comment. It is extremely mild compared to some of the stuff plastered on these stories.
@ Tacky. No, of course I'm just joking. Although the mods here don't think so. Appears they removed my comment. Oh well. Deviant sex isn't for everyone.
@ John, no that's cruel. I only comment on silly faces no matter what the situation.
@ Goes. You serious or just goofing? What is deviant? Just pick up a roll of quarters you goof!
Lol @ Goes. What is wrong with women these days?
@ Yeh, be I ever so humbled FEA (Future Editor of America)"woe is me" and not "whoa is me". I blame it on the lost brain cells.......
It's quite scary that someone could have you killed for that little money.
She could still whack him from prison.
I find it kind of ridiculous that she can demand assets from his business. Hopefully this crazy lady will be locked away for a long time to come.
woe is me* is the phrase
Poor woman, how could she be expected to live on $11,000 per month?
When will these spouses ever learn?? Psssssst!!! Thats not a hit man its a COP, (note the crew cut) and Psssssst! Divorce is probably MUCH cheaper. Selfish witches like her NEVER think about the kids its always "whoa is me, poor me, me me me", etc........
Gosh I wish my ex was stupid enough to try this on me!
WOW there are some real sick people out there. Thats a scary thing, thinking you married the woman of your dreams and find out she is nothing but a sick chick! That must make it hard VERY hard to trust anyone again!
@TARA I was using it to refer to a handjob. It's not just a man's job..but murdering someone's husband apparently is.
Nice face? It looks like he is going through hell. Do you poke animals in cages with sticks Y?
uncommon sense, You probably fail in general to see any humor, ever. If you can't laugh at life, I pity you. I agree with you though. Who cares about the adults in the situation; what about the children? Here's my answer for that: The children will now grow up with a loving, wealthy father who didn't try to have anyone killed instead of a morally bankrupt, gold-digging, spiteful, lying sociopath who tried to rub out their father.
I'm guessing it depends on how you're using that term.
I wonder what I would have to pay her to whack me?
Sorry but I fail to see any humor in this story. All this revenge/power/control issues is what has many people 6 ft under. You enjoyment at "who wins" is pathetic, who cares about the adults what about the children, no one wins, geesh.
So, instead of continuing a nasty divorce, he gets it all and she gets prison? Yea, I think I would have chosen the nasty divorce. It may have been nasty, but at least she was free. And I wonder if she even thought about her kids. Yea, they were in the middle, but at least they had both of them. When will people eve learn?
Nice face, Dad.
At least now her husband knows he found a winner in her. I bet he's doing the happy dance. Custody? Child support? Thank you! I win. I love when exes self-sabotage. :)
