Norton Commons Pediatrician Stephanie Russell arrested on murder for hire charges.
US Attorney Office says she tried to pay an undercover FBI agent $7k to murder her ex-husband.
She planned to pay half up-front & half after the murder.
If convicted-she’s facing 10yrs in prison.
“She’s been their primary care provider for six years, so it’s freaky,” Dooley said.Dooley was trying to pick up his kids’ medical records because they found a new pediatrician after hearing about Russell’s arrest.
“Money drop-offs were happening right around the corner,” he said. “That freaks us out.
It’s one of those things you don’t expect.”Dooley wasn’t able to get the records Friday.
He tried calling the office several times, but never got a callback.
When he went to the office in person, the doors were locked and a handwritten closed sign was posted on the door.
