Brehmer was 18 when she and two other teens were “catfished” by a man online who pretended to be a millionaire and convinced them to sexually assault and kill Hoffman,...

...Darin Schilmiller, then 21, posed online as a millionaire named “Tyler” to the teens.

Schilmiller offered $9 million for the “rape and murder of someone in Alaska” — and told the teens to send him photos and videos of the horrific crime taking place.

Brehmer and her two alleged accomplices carried out the planned attack on June 2, 2019, luring Hoffman to Thunderbird Falls in Chugiak, an unincorporated community in Anchorage, under the guise of a friendly hike.

The teens bound Hoffman, duct-taping her hands, feet and mouth — before shooting her in the back of the head with a 9mm handgun.

catfisher is financial gain by developing an online relationship with another person and ultimately asking for money. Besides financial gain, catfishers are sometimes people who prey on others and gain pleasure from online communications and manipulation. You also might hear the terms catfish or catfishing. Catfishing targets both men and women.

Just a few years ago you would rarely hear about women committing crimes like this. Now it seems commonplace. This is where we are. Sad.

Crazy people. What’s beyond my comprehension is that there are four different people involved in murdering the woman. I can imagine one person or maybe two people so deranged managing to get tangled up, but for four people to all have that mindset and capability? My brain can’t accept that people are that persuadable.

An old Eastwood film has the appropriate line for the criminals: “Get four coffins ready”.

Is the shooter LGBQTetc? Sure looks it in the pic at the article.
