Michelle Theer: Documenting the Conspiracy to Murder Her Husband

On December 17, 2000, United States Air Force Capt. Frank Martin Theer was shot and killed by John Diamond.

His wife, Michelle Catherine Theer, was the prime suspect and was convicted of murdering her husband.

Theer's attorney, Daniel Pollitt, said that there is no physical evidence, no direct evidence, and no eyewitness. Hence, there is no room left for confusion, and she cannot be convicted.

However, prosecutors have access to 88,000 e-mails and instant messages on Theer's computer, along with ads written by her in 1999, emails she wrote in response to those ads, sexual relationship evidence between her and Diamond, and messages containing plans to murder the captain.

On December 3, 2004, she was found guilty of murder and conspiracy and sentenced to life in prison.
