SPOKANE VALLEY — A Spokane Valley woman has been arrested forallegedly trying to hire a man to kill her husband for his life insurance money.
Martie Soderberg was arrested on Monday afternoon. The 39-year-old is in the Spokane County Jail on a charge of criminal solicitation to commit first degree murder. She is being held on $1 million bond.
The solicited man contacted deputies earlier in the month to report the plot.
KXLY-TV reports that Soderberg told the man that her marriage had turned abusive and she wanted her husband killed. She also told him that she would receive her husband’s life insurance pay out if he died and she couldn’t leave him for fear of not being able to make it on her own.
