The Valentine’s Day Murder of Richard Schoeck
It was a bloody Valentine for Richard Schoek when his wife hired a hitman to take him out
Stacey Schoeck, 36-years old, was having an affair and cheating on her husband, 46-year-old Richard Schoeck.
Stacey worked as the head administrator for a medical practice in Dekalb, Georgia. She met her lover at work and the affair went on for years. In the meantime, Stacey was having second thoughts about being married to Richard.
Richard did not deserve to be treated badly by Stacey. He was a good man. When he first met Stacey, she had already been divorced four times. Richard became her fifth husband.
Richard was a great father and husband. He adopted two of Stacey’s children, got along well with her kids, and even served as a den leader in a Cub Scout troop.
However, none of this was enough for Stacey. She was busy having an affair and soon put into motion a deadly plot to kill her husband. Richard also had life insurance worth $560,000 which Stacey could gain if he died.
To murder her husband, Stacey enlisted the help of her co-worker, Lynitra Ross. Lynitra worked as a medical assistant at Stacey’s workplace.
