A woman in Boynton Beach, FL., who had been previously under investigation for prostitution and drug offenses, agreed to become an informant for the Doynton Beach PD; she figured that this was a good place to initiate the death of her estranged husband and another man.

The Sun-Sentinel reports that Annybelkis Terrero, 38, knew she was dealing with cops when she asked for help finding someone to murder the two, Boynton Beach police spokeswoman Stephanie Slater said. The officers were not undercover — they were wearing vests with "POLICE" stamped on the front and back.

Under investigation for alleged prostitution and drug use, Terrero had agreed to serve as an informant for the department's narcotics unit. She was leading two officers to a drug dealer's house Wednesday when she mentioned she hated her husband, wanted him dead and had a plan to get the job done, police said.

When the officers told her they knew someone who could do the deed, Terrero gave them the cards and told them to use them fast because they were "hot," according to police. The next day, she met with an undercover officer posing as a hitman, gave him the Remington shotgun and ammunition and promised $30,000 from her husband's life insurance policy once he was dead.

It's not clear why Terrero allegedly targeted the second man, 57-year-old William Straub, of Lake Worth. Police offered no details on why he was included in the alleged murder plot and Straub could not be reached for comment Friday, despite calls.

Terrero's mother, Seneida Holden, 61, first heard of the allegations against her daughter from a reporter. Holden, of Vero Beach, was stunned.

"Oh, my God," she said Friday. "This is terrible."
