A Nebraska man is accused of hiring a “hit man” to kill his estranged wife and her parents in Mallard, Iowa. The Palo Alto County Sheriff’s office says 35-year-old Robert Harden of Plattsmouth was charged with conspiracy to commit murder.
An investigation including Palo Alto County, the FBI, and the Centers Against Abuse and Sexual Assault led to Harden’s arrest in Omaha, after he met with undercover agents who say he hired them to kill his wife, father and stepmother. Amber Harden and her family were moved to a “safe house.” Harden’s jailed in Omaha.
