Mom, daughter accused of trying to hire killer

SPENCER, Wis. - A central Wisconsin woman and her adult daughter are accused of trying to hire someone to kill two people.

Clark County Sheriff Gregory Herrick says deputies on Monday arrested a 46-year-old woman and her 21-year-old daughter, both from rural Spencer.

Authorities allege the two women tried to hire someone to kill two of the daughter's ex-boyfriends. The two men are each a father of one of her children.

Once authorities were notified of the alleged plot, the fathers were alerted.

The sheriff's office says one of the women supplied photos, addresses and vehicle descriptions of the two men and said they wanted it done soon. One of the fathers wanted to change custody arrangements and was going to move out of state.

The two women remained in jail Tuesday.
