​Michelle Murdock spent the last three months plotting to kill her husband in their home in Pasco, Washington. But fortunately for her hubby, David Murdock, he married an idiot, for this may be the worst-planned whacking in this history of marital slayings...
 
Our tale begins three months ago, when the lovely Michelle hired a nanny for the couple's two children, ages 4 and 6. After just a week on the job, Michelle told nanny Shalena Kae Millward that she wanted to kill her 62-year-old hubby for reasons unknown. And she wanted Millward's help.

Millward must have thought she was joking or otherwise wasn't serious, because she never reported the talk at the time. In the meantime, the nanny got a job at a hospital, and Michelle began to pester her about scoring sedatives.

The wicked wife had apparently done her research on drugs, and had already scored herself some syringes for administering the death blow. She wanted Millward to score her something that would paralyze her husband, so she could then push him down some stairs or off a balcony. Millward also noticed her own drug prescriptions disappearing when she visited the home.

So last Friday, she warned David that his wife was trying to whack him. He went to police, who then got court permission to record conversations between Michelle and Millward. Michelle was caught texting Millward about making sure she scored drugs from the hospital. Detectives also gave Millward a prescription to give to Michelle.

That's when our dimwitted hero was arrested. During a search warrant, detectives found evidence that Michelle planned to run away after killing David. Cops found a to-do list involving changing bank information and buying phones and computers under someone else's name. She was also planning a trip to Mexico.

But since she included her reluctant nanny in her plot, it looks like her visit to Cancun may be postponed for a good 20-30 years.
