Man Fakes Death To Prove That Wife Was Plotting To Kill Him

To what lengths will one go, not to be right, but prove others wrong? One husband faked his own death only to prove that his wife hired a hitman to kill him.

Ramon Sosa, and his now ex-wife Maria ‘Lulu’ Sosa hit a rough patch. Seeing no way out of her marriage, Lulu, decided to kill Ramon, but little did she know that the hitman she would hire was, in fact, one of Ramon’s friends.

Gustavo, the man that ‘Lulu’ hired to plan her husband’s murder, knew Sosa back from his boxing gym days when he trained under him. Maria offered Gustavo $2,000 to help her hire the killer for her, but after realizing the hit was for Sosa, he and the husband came up with the idea of having Gustavo wear a wire for their second meeting.

“I knew him because I’d coached him. He’d been in trouble in the past. At first, when he called and said he needed to see me because someone ‘wanted to kill me,’ I thought he was joking,” said Sosa to the Daily Mail. “Then we devised a plan, for him to wear a wire and tape her offering money to have me killed, before turning the evidence over to the cops.”

This is where things turned into something out of a 50’s film noir. After Sosa and Gustavo presented the evidence to Texas local authorities, the crime-fighting team, with some help from the FBI, started drafting an intricate plan.

They would apply makeup on Sosa to make him look like he had already been killed. Then, they took the very much alive husband in full Halloween zombie getup to a remote area where a photographer would take pictures of him laying next to a makeshift grave.

An undercover officer posing as the hitman who had carried out the murder then approached Sosa’s wife to show her the pictures of her “dead” husband. The officer claims that the women started laughing maniacally when she saw the pictures.

“She would give me manicures, pedicures, and foot rubs. She would rub oils onto my back and treat me to massages. It was paradise and my friends were jealous,” said Sosa, via the Daily Mail. “When I first met Lulu, I certainly didn’t expect our relationship to end like that.”

The once beloved Lulu pleaded guilty to solicitation of murder last year and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Lulu’s malevolous plans eventually turned into her own downfall.

“Lulu was silent in court, but justice has been served,” Sosa said. ‘Still, it would be wrong to say this hadn’t had a lasting impact on me. I’ll never be the same man again.”
