TAVARES, FL - Two Florida jail inmates each face charges of conspiring to kill children who are scheduled to testify against them in separate abuse cases. One inmate, Daniel King, 25, offered someone $5,000 to kidnap and kill a 5-year-old girl who accused him of forcing her to engage in a sex act, according to the Lake County Sheriff's Office. The other inmate, Jeffrey Roden, 36, wrote a letter to his father asking for $1,000 so he could hire a hit man to kill his girlfriend and her 4-year-old son, deputies said. The boy had accused Roden of beating him with a belt. Authorities said the tips came from the sheriff's jail-intelligence unit. "Amazingly enough, a lot of people who go to jail are mad, and they don't mind telling us crimes other people are planning," said deputy Chris Daniels, who created the unit. King was charged with solicitation to commit murder and solicitation to commit kidnapping. Roden was charged with two counts of solicitation to commit murder. |
