News in Brief: Everything you need to know about a hot story in 200 words or less.

Ms. Ann Marie Linscott is an innovative adulteress who sought to hire an assassin - on Craigslist. She offered to pay $5,000 for a hit on the wife of a man she'd been having an affair with.

The ad was for a "silent assassin" to do a "freelance job" to "eradicate a female living in Oroville, California." Linscott then went on to provide a physical description and work address of the target.

Obviously, she was caught. Still, it seems you really can find anything you're looking for on the Internet these days.
