Two bizarre tales of women who became hired help to kill the men in their lives.
Adriana Vasco was a 35-year-old mother of two when she had an affair with a 57-year old doctor named Kenneth Stahl. Both Adriana and Kenneth would indulge in a lengthy affair and would later come up with a plan to kill his wife, Carolyn. The doctor wanted out of his marriage but feared the financial consequences of divorce. So when a security guard discovered a car parked along the shoulder of the Ortega Highway on November 20, 1999, with the engine running and the lights on, he assumed it was a couple of kids making out. Instead, he found the bullet-riddled bodies of a prominent Huntington Beach doctor and his optometrist wife sprawled across the vehicle's front seat.
These are the events that led up to that fateful night when Adriana Vasco went from a single mother of two children to a hired killer.
Teresa Lewis used a combination of sex and money to manipulate two men into killing both her husband and stepson in order to gain $250,000 in a life insurance scheme. After her husband and stepson were hit with multiple shotgun blasts in their beds, Teresa stood and waited in the kitchen of the family. As her husband was dying, she took his wallet, split the money inside it with the gunmen, and then waited 45 minutes to call for help.
