A 42-year-old Washington father allegedly tried to send a text message to a hitman requesting the murders of his wife and daughter — but the text instead went to his former boss, who called police.

He remains in police custody on $1 million bail and court records indicate he has yet to enter a plea to the charges he faces.

The message, addressed to “Shayne,” indicated Lytle would allegedly be willing to evenly split the $1.5 million insurance payout he anticipated receiving in the wake of the deaths of his wife and 4-year-old daughter, according to the affidavit.

“You remember you said that you would help me kill my wife … I’m going to take you up on that offer,” Lytle is accused of texting, the affidavit states.

The message added that his wife’s insurance policy “is worth 1 million and if you want a bonus you can kill . Her life insurance is 500K.”

The message seemingly urged “Shayne” to make the hit “look like a robbery gone wrong or make it a accident.” The text also provides his wife’s work schedule and work location as well as his own, according to the affidavit.

“I’ll split everything with the insurance 50/50,” the text allegedly concluded.

People can be very cold and calculating.

What if his boss's code name was “Shayne” and he sent it to the right person ... his boss was the hit man and then he turned him in with the knowledge that no one else would know that he was really "Shayne"?

I like it when stupid criminals transmit their own evidence. Makes the police department's job a little easier.

Protip: If you are planning a crime, it is probably a good idea not to transmit evidence of the crime over cell networks/Internet.

Sounds to me like he's too stupid to be owning a mobile/cell phone.
