In July, Robert Walters was accused of murdering Air Force vet Brittney Brashers following a topless photo shoot, then faking a car crash to cover up the crime. Then, last week, Walters was slapped with another charge: attempting to put out a hit on his ex-wife.
Now, new details are emerging, with reports that Walters actually had his ex-wife deposit the money he was going to use to have her killed.
According to CBS4’s Dominic Garcia, Walters “apparently met up with a man in jail with a reputation for getting things done. It’s claimed Walters paid him $2,000 to kill his wife” — perhaps the key witness against him in the Brashers slaying — “and another $4,000 would come when the job was done. The man turned on Walters in hopes for a deal.
“According to police, Walters had family members give the $2,000 to his wife to deposit to his account. She did that not knowing what it was for, essentially paying for her own murder.”
