In 1991, a teenage cheerleader’s mother tried to hire a hitman to kill the mother of her daughter’s cheerleading rival. She thought if the rival’s mother was killed, she would be too sad to cheerlead, thereby giving the spot to her daughter. The plan ultimately failed when the man she asked to arrange the hitman turned her in to the authorities. [1, 2]
