She reportedly suggested various ways for Warner to kill her husband, including a drug overdose or a hunting accident. Warner was wired in order to capture the contract killing plot on tape. According to a press release from the District Attorney, “As problems in the marriage continued to mount, Robin became more desperate. She had looked up the statute of limitations for her sexual crimes and realized the time wasn’t close to running out.” According to prosecutors, Ofc. Warner convinced the parents of the teen — who were family friends — with whom his wife was having an inappropriate relationship not to report the abuse and threatened the teen to remain silent and turn over text messages regarding their affair, reported the Pocono Record.
