A Virginia Navy sailor is accused of trying to pay for his estranged wife’s murder with insurance money and Adderall.
Chadwick Stanley Ghesquiere, a 38-year-old Petty Officer 2nd Class in Virginia Beach, was going through a divorce and custody battle with his ex when he told a friend about “getting rid of her,” according to federal court documents.
1 want to get rid of this b—h because she is going to keep f—king with me, do you have someone that will off that b—h?” he allegedly asked.
Ghesquiere said that he also did not want to pay child support for the child he had with the planned victim.
The sailor said that he was still the beneficiary of his wife’s life insurance policy and could offer $50,000 from it to a hired gun.
The unidentified friend lied and said that he knew someone who could carry out the killing but later contacted Naval Criminal Investigative Service agents about the plan.
During later sting operation meetups earlier this month, the sailor allegedly gave a gun to an undercover agent as well as 80 Adderall pills and photos identifying his wife.
Ghesquiere is currently being held without bond in a Virginia jail.
A Navy spokesman told WVEC that he first enlisted in the Navy in 2008 and is an aviation mechanic.
