A Tennessee National Air Guardsman is facing charges for allegedly submitting his resume to what he thought was a website hiring contract killers—but, in reality, was a parody site that tipped off federal authorities.
Josiah Ernesto Garcia, 21, was charged on Thursday with using interstate commerce facilities in the commission of a murder-for-hire after allegedly submitting an employment inquiry to RentAHitman.com in February. According to prosecutors, Garcia said he worked for the Air National Guard while submitting a query expressing interest in “obtaining employment as a hitman.”
“Caught my husband cheating with the babysitter and our relationship was terminated after a free public relations consultation. I’m single again and looking to mingle,” one of the false testimonials on the website states. “Thanks Guido and RENT-A-HITMAN!” “Garcia was stating his skillset matched the needs of a company that hires employees to commit murder,” the complaint states, noting that he even sent a follow-up email on Feb. 20 when he did not immediately hear back and included a description of why he wanted the job.
Garcia also indicated that he preferred to “shoot people from [a] distance,” and asked whether “fifteen to twenty thousand would be too much to ask” for each mark. The complaint notes that the undercover FBI agent also asked Garcia if he “was comfortable with taking fingers or ears as trophies or performing torture at a client’s request.”
“You are locked in? This is what you want? Because it sounds like you have a lot going on. You’re in the military. You’ve got college,” the undercover agent asked Garcia, according to the complaint. “You’ve got a lot going on, as far as good things in your life to kinda’ get in this world. It is a shady world, and I just don’t want you to have regrets if you come to work for us, because it, I mean it messes with your mind, shooting people.
