A Chippewa Falls mom is looking at 60 years in prison after police say she tried to hire a hitman to kill her daughter’s father.
Prosecutors filed formal murder-for-hire charges yesterday against 47-year-old Melanie Schrader. Police say she wanted to kill the man because of child custody issues. The hitman she tried to hire last week turned out to be a police officer, and she was arrested a short time later.
