Murder for dummies: Over 120 NYers have tried to hire hitman from parody websiteBy Jacob Geanous
June 17, 2023
New Yorkers are trying to make a killing.
Since 2018, at least 120 people from across the Empire State have turned to the parody site “RentAHitman.com” to try to hire a real-life killer to rub out family members, off an ex, and even torch a school, website owner Bob Innes told The Post.
“It is kind of scary because they do walk among us. They’re out there. People are dangerous, but they’re also blinded by rage,” said Innes, who turns over disturbing requests — from Brooklyn to Boise — to cops.
In February, he tipped off the NYPD to a Kensington teen who said she was tired of being bullied at the Urban Assembly School for Leadership and Empowerment on 16th Avenue in Brooklyn — and wanted to have the school burned down.
In another chilling request, “Rebecca” from Brooklyn wrote in the subject line: “Anything to kill her.”
