Alabama – Jason Starr allegedly paid his brother Darin Starr with cash and a motorcycle to shoot dead schoolteacher Sara Starr back in November 2017, according to a federal grand jury indictment unsealed this week.
He wanted to kill have his ex-wife and mother of his four children because he didn’t want to pay her $2,550 a month in their divorce for child support.
Jason Starr was arrested on 7 December over the suspected murder-for-hire plot but his brother was only publicly identified as a second suspect in the slaying this week.
The FBI said in a press release that a federal arrest warrant had been issued for Darin Starr on 2 December after he was charged with use of interstate commerce facilities in the commission of a murder-for-hire.
But the 53-year-old remains on the run two months on. He has been placed on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, with a reward of up to $20,000 offered for information leading to his arrest.
Ms Starr, a 38-year-old mother of two sets of twins, was shot and killed outside her home on 27 November 2017 in Coffee County when she was on her way to work as a fourth grade teacher at Harrand Creek Elementary School.
Her body was found in her driveway after her coworkers grew concerned that she hadn’t shown up for work.
The FBI is now offering a reward of up to $10,000 and Alabama Governor Kay Ivey an additional $10,000 for information leading to Darin Starr’s arrest.
“Let’s go find him; let’s get him,” Coffee County Sheriff Dave Sutton said on Thursday.
Darin Starr is from Texas and is said to have ties to Lakehills, Texas, San Antonio, Texas, Glendale, Arizona, and Colebrook, Connecticut.
