SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - A jilted girlfriend tried to hire a hit man to kill her boyfriend's new love in Arizona after spotting her rival's picture on his MySpace social networking Web page, police said.

Heather Kane, 22, was arrested after giving a 400-dollar down payment and pages downloaded from MySpace to an undercover officer posing as a contract killer, according to Detective Jerry Gissel of the Mesa Police Department.

"Basically, we got a murder for hire," said police Detective Jerry Gissel. "A young lady was jealous that her boyfriend moved in with another girl."

"She did her own investigative work and found out the girl was one of the people on her boyfriend's MySpace.com friends list."

MySpace, a website considered the hip place to socialize online, has become a globally popular place on the Internet for people to bare details of their lives.

After identifying the target, Kane told an acquaintance she would pay to have the woman killed, according to police.

The man played along with Kane then told police. An undercover officer was introduced to Kane as a killer-for-hire on Tuesday, Gissel said.

Kane offered to pay 1,000 dollars for the job, giving the undercover officer 400 dollars and promising to pay the rest after the woman was dead, according to police.

"He said he would shoot the woman in the head if that was all right, and Kane said that was fine," Gissel said. "She showed no emotion."

Kane gave the faux assassin the woman's picture, home address, and workplace information downloaded from MySpace, according to investigators.

"It just shows you how dangerous MySpace is," Gissel said. "How people can pull up information about you."

Kane was booked on suspicion of conspiracy to attempt murder and jailed in lieu of 90,000 dollars bail, according to police.

I guess I'll have to remove all hitmen from my friends list.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 09-15-2006, 06:52 PM

Something a teacher brought up, though. There's always hackers, even if your profile IS on private -_- But I try to keep personal info off of it.

Nighthawk76 · 09-15-2006, 09:08 PM

I'm glad I decided to stay away from myspace.

dlemond · 09-16-2006, 02:06 AM

Thank God that stupidity saves.

A $1,000 to kill someone?
Did she promise him some free movie tickets too?
A coupon for Burger King?

Why do I have the bad feeling that this woman will eventually reproduce?

myspace is only dangerous to stupid people who don't follow any internet safety rules.

No. People are dangerous. MySpace is merely a tool(and one of the safest tools at that).

Mrs. Periwinkle · 09-17-2006, 02:49 AM

But, honestly, who would post their all of their personal info on MySpace? That's just asking for trouble. I don't have an account there, but I know that if I did, I would set all of my information to "private."

And, I can see why this girl's boyfriend hooked up with someone else!

I agree with you there. It's those people who misuse the internet ettiquecy and then end up in headlines like this.

Oh, come on, everyone. MySpace is used in various ways. It's mainly used as an own community to post bulletins and interact. I don't think it should be pegged as "horrible." It's only certain individuals who misuse it that make it sound so.
