A gay Reno, Nev.,
man with six children has been arrested for hiring a
hit man to kill his wife so he could avoid a costly divorce
and live with his new boyfriend, reported The
Salt Lake City Tribune on Thursday.
James Gau, 50,
has been searching for a hit man for several weeks,
offering several people money to travel to her home in
American Fork, Utah, and kill her.
"For some reason,
people think they can tell multiple people of their
plan to kill their spouses and that they're going to get
away with it," police sergeant Dave Evans told the
Reno Gazette-Journal. "It's amazing."
The man who
tipped off the police pretended to agree with Gau's terms
and was given a photo of Sheryl, his wife of 28 years,
and their six children.
"With their
pending divorce and splitting of the property, he just
felt it was easier for her to die than to go through a
divorce," Evans said to the Gazette-Journal.
"In this case, it appears he wanted to make his life
easier and get on with his new lifestyle. He had no
regard for his wife or his children."
According to the
Tribune, Gau was a general manager for the Carson
City, Nev., division of Mission Industries, a commercial
laundry and linens supplier. He was in his work
vehicle when he met the alleged hit man around 5 p.m.
Tuesday in a parking lot. Gau asked the man not to kill
his wife at the home; the man was to have made it look like
a robbery and have broken her neck to avoid
blood. (The Advocate)
