(Omaha, Neb.)– A jury has found a 36-year-old Plattsmouth, Nebraska man guilty of trying to hire a hit man to kill his wife who lives in northwest Iowa along with her parents.
Robert Harden faces up to 50 years in prison on charges of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. He was videotaped talking about the plan with an undercover F-B-I agent posing as a hit man.
Agent Michael Sackett testified that during a meeting Harden on June 17th, he asked Harden if he was “100 percent sure” that he wanted the three killed.
Sackett says Harden replied “yes, sir”.
He says Harden gave him a map to his wife’s home in Mallard, Iowa, in Palo Alto county, and photos of her and her family.
When Sackett left the meeting at an Omaha motel, other F-B-I agents moved in to arrest Harden.
