Woman, 76, charged with hiring hitman to kill husband

FOR two decades Al Gentry begged investigators to take another look at the mystery of who killed his brother Harold and left his gunshot-ridden body sprawled on the floor of the home he shared with his wife.

He visited the sheriff’s office dozens of times and made just as many phone calls. And when authorities finally listened, they ended up arresting the person Gentry had always suspected: his brother’s now 76-year-old former wife, who was charged last month with hiring a hitman to gun him down.

“This is something I’ve been waiting for for a long time,” Gentry said.
