Kentucky Pediatrician Tried to Hire Occultists to Kill Ex With ‘Death Spell’ Before Paying Fake Hit Man to Do the Job

Dr. Stephanie Russell lost custody of her two children after it was revealed during court proceedings that she had been coaching them to make false claims of abuse against her ex-husband.

Evidence included video recordings of the children practicing these claims. Russell then attempted to hire a hitman, who turned out to be an undercover FBI agent.

Now, Stephanie M. Russell has pleaded guilty to two counts of a federal indictment.
