Why did Monica Sementilli want her wealthy husband dead?
So this entitled woman has a great life. Her well known and respected husband pays for everything. So why does she want him dead? Now the woman's name is Monica, and Monica's 44 when all this starts, and she's living in Los Angeles, California. And Monica, she's got a lot going for her. She lives in a big house, she drives a nice truck, she has a cleaning staff, someone who cleans her pool, a membership to an upscale fitness club, and she has all that because her husband is rich and well known. Now, her husband is this guy, Fabio. And Fabio is a Hairstylist, and he is an icon in the beauty world. Like he's done hair for a few major Hollywood movies and even for some famous celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Russell Crowe and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
I mean, you get the point. He's a big deal in that world. And apparently he's a really great guy. But regardless of how great he is, and the fact that they've been married for 20 years, and the fact that they have kids together, Monica doesn't want to. Want to be with him anymore. But she won't get a divorce. She refuses to. Because then she'd have to give up this luxury lifestyle that she's now comfortable in. But one day in 2016, her whole life changes. Because she goes to a fitness club and she signs up to play racquetball.
How did Monica meet her lover Rob Baker at the racquetball club?
And there she meets this guy, Rob Baker. And Rob Baker is the Racquetball League director there. And Monica thinks Rober Baker's kind of foin, and he's into her too. And pretty quickly they start hooking up and having an affair behind her husband's back. And at some point during this affair, Monica decides that she wants out of her marriage completely. And we know she's not gonna get a divorce, but if her husband were to die, then she'd get around $1.6 million in life insurance payments. So So she decides that's what's gonna happen. She's gonna have her well loved, well respected husband killed. Now obviously she can't commit this murder herself, so she goes and asks Rob Baker if he'll do it. Now, Rob Baker, he's an interesting guy, to say the least.
He's a former porn actor, so that's fun. But he's also a registered sex offender. And I don't know all the details in this, but it involves lewd acts with a minor, and it got him thrown in prison for a while. Not to mention that that minor was his 14 year old stepdaughter, and once he got out out of prison, he married that stepdaughter for a period of time. So yeah, he's not the most moral guy in the world. So anyway, so when Monica asks him if he could kill her husband, Rob Baker's like All right.
What motive did Monica have for planning Fabio’s murder?
Now, from here, he goes and he recruits this other goon to help him out. Goon's name is Chris. And so Rob Baker and Chris they map out this entire hit. They're gonna show up and do it when Fabio is out on the back patio, because Fabio sits out there every single day to take his work calls. And from here, Monica gives Rob Baker the passcode to the home security system so that he can access the security cameras remotely. remotely so that he can see where they're located in the house, and he can also see what blind spots they have, and it also lets him confirm when Fabio is home alone. Then, on the day of the hit, Monica and Fabio are at home and Monica leaves to go run some errands because she needs an alibi.
But on her way out, she leaves the door unlocked. That way, Rob Baker and Chris can get in. Once she leaves, she messages Rob Baker to let him know that it's go time. Then she goes to a local target and she watches a live feed of the security cameras to make sure the whole plan goes down properly. A bit later, Rob Baker and Chris arrive at the house. And they go inside and they sneak through the place, and just like Monica planned, Fabio is out back on the patio sitting in a chair completely alone. And both Rob Baker and Chris have a knife, and boom, they ambush him. And they start stabbing him over and over again. And sadly. Fabio dieses While Monica is at Target looking at her phone, watching all of this play.
out through the cameras. After that, they go through the house and they start tearing things up because they're trying to make this look like a burglary gone wrong.
