Former small town Democratic Party chairman 'plotted to hire hit man to kill girls aged nine and ten who he molested' before they could testify against him
A former chairman of the Falls Church Democratic Party charged with molesting two young girls is accused of plotting to have them killed before they testified against him during his trial.
Michael Gardner, 50, from Falls Church, Virginia, is said to have approached an inmate in 2013 about finding a hit man to kill the young girls. The inmate he contacted notified police in January about their multiple conversations, according to court documents.
In a letter, presented during a pretrial motion, the inmate said he told Gardner his friend could help with his 'three problems' that he had 'pre-trial' - which allegedly referred to the two girls and an unspecified third issue.
It has not been revealed whether the lives of the girls, who were aged nine and ten at the time of the assault, are in danger but police said the potential threats were taken seriously.
