Murder for Hire, July 29

A Central Oregon Coast woman faces a charge of Murder for Hire involving her ex-husband. Pamela Jean Gygi, of Westlake, just south of Florence in western Lane Co., allegedly paid a felon $600, offered him her 2005 Dodge Stratus, and a home in California if he would kill her ex-husband in Saratoga Springs, Utah. The felon instead drove to Utah and warned the ex-husband in person. The FBI became involved and Gygi was recorded in an undercover sting. The two divorced in 2014, but as part of the settlement, the ex-husband had to take out a $100,000 life insurance policy naming Gygi as the sole beneficiary.
