According to the information Whitehurst received from Murphy, three sisters—Sandra Grimes, Judy Owen and Mitzy Smith—attempted to hire Murphy to murder Grimes’ son-in-law.
Whitehurst’s testimony said Grimes told Murphy that her son-in-law allegedly drugged her daughter, forced her to have sex with others, and assaulted her daughter and grandkids. This prompted Grimes, Owen and Smith to kill him.
Whitehurst’s testimony said the three women paid a man $10,000 to kill the son-in-law, but he ran off with the money, so they turned to Murphy.
Grimes took Murphy to Marrero, Louisiana, to show Murphy where her target lived and to convince her to kill.
According to Whitehurst’s testimony, the three sisters wanted Murphy to inject a lethal dose of heroin into the son-in-law to make the murder appear as an overdose because he reportedly used drugs. Ultimately, Murphy agreed to the scheme but for more money.
