Grampian Woman, detainees from Center Co., would be conspired to kill confidential informants

Center of County, PA (WJAC) – The state police say that a Grampian woman and her boyfriend are experiencing accusations after they are supposed to have conspired to kill a confidential informant.

The troops say that Amanda Zortman, 45, and Mark Hackett, 63, who is held at the Center County prison, tried to hire a “Hitman” to kill a CI, which would have blamed Hackett’s incarceration.

According to the statement, the investigation into the plot “Crime for rent” started last fall, after the troops received a letter, from a colleague held, claiming that Hackett offers $ 10,000 to perform the “blow”.

Following the subsequent investigations, the police learned that Zortman was trained to raise the informant, after his release from rehabilitation, when he is supposed to pay the “hitman”, in drugs and money for bail, to inject the victim with a “fentanel hotshot”.

Troops note that a “hotshot” is a term used to describe a lethal dose of controlled substance.

Investigators say that the troops subsequently examined numerous phone calls from prison, between Zortman and Hackett, which details the alleged plot.

The police note that, in November, the informant himself learned about the alleged conspiracy and reported that his house in Huntingdon was assumed to have been shattered.
