Three Men Held in Murder-for-Hire Plot
WSAW Staff
Three men are being held on a $2 million bail in connection to an apparent murder-for-hire plot in southern Wisconsin.
Kimberly Smith of Oconomowoc was stabbed to death last month.
Police say the murder was planned by her ex-boyfriend to get custody of their 4-year-old son.
Authorities say DNA evidence found on a knife and glove outside Smith's hoome led them to 26-year-old Justin Welch.
Welch was arrested in Mexico.
Police belive he was in the country with a former Waukesha native, who is an old friend of Smith's ex-boyfriend, Darren Wold.
Smith and Wold were scheduled for a custody hearing the day she was murdered.
