@Seattle1 - for some reason I am NOT getting alerts for being "tagged" for this case. I have taken notes for these cases - so will be following this one.

Okay - I just tried to find Darrin Ruben Lopez in the Dallas County court site - and he is not coming up... ?? Is he still in Tennessee awaiting extradition? Do I have his name correct? Do you know - anyone - when his next court date is?

Also - how old was James Faith?

TIA!

Jamie was 49. I graduated with him and look forward to justice for his death.

Sorry for the loss of your friend, @MCool. I think the betrayal by his wife must add fuel to the burning pain his family must still be experiencing.

MOO

We hadn’t seen each other in decades but thank you. He was very nice and I am so sad for his family.

Speaking as a coworker of Jamie's, I can't believe she used the donations in the charity account...OUR MONEY...to pay for stuff for him.

Glad I applied for and received my refund!

As awful as it is that she hated her husband this much, I’m glad she was pretty open with her secret communications as that is what’s sealing this. I hope she is charged for shamelessly using these donations too.

 

[Niner]

Finally an update - looks like his announcement hearing was rescheduled. I am not finding Faith in the court site...

That woman is evil. It was all about the money in my opinion. Fair bit of life insurance there. Divorce wouldn't have paid as much. MOO

Texas Woman Went on the News and Begged for Help Finding Husband’s Killer. Now She’s Accused of ‘Depraved’ Murder-for-Hire Plot.

9/29/21

On Wednesday, federal prosecutors formally accused her of a “depraved” murder-for-hire plot — a charge that could carry the death penalty. She was previously charged only with evidence destruction, for allegedly telling her boyfriend to destroy evidence that he shot and killed her husband.

The woman now faces accusations that she prodded and manipulated her boyfriend Darrin Ruben Lopez into murdering Jamie Faith. Both of the defendants are now 49, as was the late husband at the time of his death.

Jennifer Lynne Faith allegedly pretended to be her husband Jamie and another person, sending Lopez emails in which she made it seem like her husband was sexually and physically abusing her—but there is no evidence this abuse occurred, authorities said.

“Ms. Faith’s alleged murder-for-hire scheme was depraved and calculated,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Prerak Shah of the Northern District of Texas. “She preyed on her boyfriend’s protective instinct and his pocketbook in order to convince him to execute her husband. Jamie Faith’s brutal murder was a tragedy. His death has been a double blow to his family and friends, who had just begun to absorb the news of his murder when they were confronted with evidence of his wife’s alleged involvement. We are committed to getting justice for Jamie – and to holding both Ms. Faith and Mr. Lopez accountable for their alleged crimes.”

Jennifer Faith is now charged with use of interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire, and obstruction of an official proceeding. According to court documents, she needled Lopez from a fake account in her husband’s name. In an April 10, 2020 message, “Jamie,” told Lopez he got his email from Jennifer Faith’s phone and told him to stop communicating with her. Messages were lurid, with Jennifer-as-Jamie claiming he was going to engage in salacious sexual acts with her.

My guess is his will get continued again as they probably want hers to be tried first as it could impact his outcome.

I'm absolutely gobsmacked at this. "... the scheme was depraved and calculated". She "made the bullets" as it were, and her boyfriend fired them.

IMO she's much worse than Lopez. Evil through and through. This woman is wicked beyond belief. I'm just shocked after reading everything she's done and I hope the full weight of the law comes down on her and she's sentenced harshly.

I wonder what Lopez will think when he discovers she fabricated everything evil about Jamie. Hopefully he will testify against her!
