Hopefully she is better at baking cookies than she is at baking up murder plots.

You got that right, When she went to the tattoo parlor asking around for someone who could, "Shut up my ex-husband," that wasn't her brightest moment.

Well, well, well!! Murder for hire? I'm quite interested in knowing who else will be charged!

So it seems. Now, I wonder who on earth would have the money to hire a hitman...hmmmmmm.

I can't find a murder case listed yet. This is the August traffic citation and weapon citation case tho.

You don't get firearm possession by a felon charge unless you have a prior conviction for a felony. So, murder charge aside, it is a driving citation, a weapons felony, and a prior felony of some type.

Gardner-Fernandez didn't move to the same town as her parents but instead moved near (what appears to be) a good friend who shares her love of baking. Shanna was briefly seen in a cookie baking video the friend placed up on Instagram Sunday.

The house she and Mario had in Jacksonville was placed on the market in October 2022 but was taken back off the market this month.

The media had been very good, not reporting on the house sale, as far as I was aware. Nothing had leaked the last few months..

As for the hired gun - it was totally expected wasn't it? Sad but not shocked.

I am so happy to hear there’s been an arrest. I worried there wouldn’t be. I didn’t expect to see this news today so I’m still surprised.

Hopefully there are additional arrests coming soon. Would hate to see other players stay free like in the Dan markel case…

Justice for Jared

(I had no idea SGF and her newest husband broke up—does this mean he’s still in FL? Might’ve missed this info in any articles)

Presumably the State is trying to cut a deal with Henry Teon to get him to flip. JMO.

Yeah I noticed LE stated he had a felony in GA in the past.

"They know that he (HT) did not act alone."

ofc not... i just hope this doesnt go the way of the markle case.... they have the brother but not the ex wife or MIL. it disgusts me.

 

[cvaldez1975]

What also is sad is I've seen the widow say that the ex isn't and hasn't allowed the twins to see their siblings since the murder. I understand that divorces can be very difficult and emotions and things can be crazy and people do things out of those emotions and then often later after some time has passed they put differences aside and work together for the kids (not talking about abuse cases or where divorce is happening because of something very very wrong with one parent or neglect, etc. This case seems like dad was a good dad and no real reason for ex to be so awful about custody or him seeing the kids, etc.). So in my mind, if there is no involvement from the ex or her new husband or anyone in her family, then once Jared was murdered, why what would the motive be for keeping the kids from seeing their siblings? They already lost their dad, now the siblings they have known for 3 years are also taken from them and possibly even the relationship they had formed with their step mom too.. just makes no sense. You'd think murder would cause someone to think about things more and allow for some of those connections to be continued to help her kids deal with this huge loss.

narcs dont care about their kids.

We can't know when she actually moved, but the house was purchased in September 2022. It looks like her wealthy parents purchased the home for $1M using an LLC.

how nice.....

 

[bestill]

I love how she acts as though moving across the country will somehow make her no longer a suspect.

I have a feeling that "she" has never been held accountable for any of her actions. JMO

 

[cvaldez1975]

Never heard of this case, I don't think (remember), until today. Has Wendi Adelson written a "how to" or something? Why are people so awful and dumb?

right! disgusting, narcissistic, entitled bs.

 

[DeDee]

narcs dont care about their kids.

IKR? Instead of displaying true affection for their offspring, narcs tend to use their children as pawns in their lives in ways that behoove them. One need only reflect upon the party Celebration of Life the X held to know something's not right here.

This lack of true affection in the raising of children, coupled with using them for nefarious purposes or by ignoring improper behavior or by teaching them that lies are little fibs that cause no harm, etc, are some of the reasons our society is filled with devious doers. A wise person once taught me:

"If you will lie, you will steal. If you will steal, you will kill."

I believed it then and I believe it now.

moo and all that jazz

Stuff like this burns me up more than anything.

Church this Sunday in Utah is gonna be awkward. Imo.

Amen.

 

[caradana]

This is rather brilliantly strategized by the police in terms of the sequence of arrests, PR and information flow through MSM, amount of information released in the context of an active investigation. Props to them.

This is also the first case I’ve ever experienced as a Websleuths participant where my true-crime hobbyist mother is equally into the case (she’s not an internet person, not a member) and her perspectives in calling me are absolutely hysterically funny.
Mom, 2 PM ET, voicemail while I’m working: “I am just calling you to say that if I ever finance a hit man to solve your problems he is going to be an untraceable one. Not an obvious one.”

Thank you, mama
