Air National Guardsman arrested for attempting to become a hitman on spoof website

Josiah Ernesto Garcia, an Air National Guardsman, has been arrested and charged with use of interstate facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire after applying to become a hitman on the website rentahitman.com. The website, which was created as a parody page, allows users to both engage the services of a hitman and apply to become a hired killer. Garcia communicated with an undercover FBI agent and agreed to kill a person for $5,000. He was arrested after receiving a $2,500 down payment and asking if he needed to provide a photo of the dead body.
