A Wisconsin woman reportedly wanted to have her mother killed for not reporting a claim of sexual abuse to authorities, expressing, “I love her” but insisting “she’s gotta go, she’s ruining my life.”

Lindsey Fuecht, 43, appeared via Zoom for a court hearing in Wisconsin’s Outagamie County on Tuesday after facing charges of two counts of conspiracy to commit first-degree intentional homicide. A criminal complaint, as reviewed by Law&Crime, suggests Fuecht shared with someone that she had been “fondled” at the age of 7 by an 18-year-old neighbor, yet “nothing was ever done about it” after she informed her mother and stepfather.

She conveyed to the unnamed individual that “there needs to be a price to pay, they’ve ruined my life.” This person then proceeded to become a criminal informant for the police.

The complaint states that Fuecht initially discussed her desire for her mother’s death with the informant at her workplace, a mental health facility, around the week of Aug. 11. Fuecht inquired whether the informant had ever killed someone and allegedly mentioned she wanted “someone to kill her mom.” Her wishes were allegedly reiterated to the informant on Aug. 19, a day following his alert to the police.

The informant informed Fuecht during their interaction on Aug. 19 that the heinous act wouldn’t occur without a cost. Fuecht allegedly responded, “[A]s long as it’s not a million dollars.” When the informant mentioned that he “knew a guy,” he reported that her response was her face “lighting up like a Christmas tree.”

Surveillance on Fuecht was initiated by police, and during a recorded discussion with the informant, Fuecht elaborated that apart from her mother’s inaction on the alleged molestation, the older woman “may have Alzheimer’s and it was ‘time for her to go.'”

Fuecht and the informant then started discussing payment, including “collateral” or a down payment for the hit job. According to the complaint, Fuecht said that she gets “ten-grand” as a tax refund every year but that would mean the would-be hitman “might have to wait a few months.” Now that Fuecht was allegedly willing to exchange money for murder, a meeting between her and the “hitman” — an undercover officer — could take place.

On Aug. 21, Fuecht, the informant, and the undercover officer met in an unmarked car. Fuecht then allegedly expressed her desire to have her stepfather killed as well, saying she would pay the hitman $10,000 for each target. She told the officer that both her parents were “unhealthy” and “ready to go soon, naturally,” but, she said, “Not at the same time.”

During their conversation, Fuecht and the officer pitched several ideas to make the deaths look “natural.” Fuecht allegedly suggested “oleander flowers and s— I could grow” to poison her stepfather. Fuecht also allegedly said that she might “do the first one,” referring to killing her stepfather herself. She allegedly told the officer, “I was gonna. I don’t know, maybe two.”

Fuecht allegedly emphasized that she wanted both deaths to “look natural,” but that they could not happen at the same time. She allegedly specified that she wanted her stepfather to be killed first. One suggestion she allegedly pitched was “put[ting] something in” his sleep apnea machine, saying, “Oh my God, that’s a really good idea.” Fuecht also allegedly suggested Visine drops in his coffee, in a mug that only he used.

When it came to ways to off her mother, Fuecht allegedly told the officer “she was not into blood,” but that suffocating the older woman “may look fishier.” Fuecht also allegedly suggested “making it look like a fall in the shower.” In the complaint, police said that Fuecht told them that she planned to mend her relationship with her mother ahead of her stepfather’s death “so that it looks better.”

Fuecht allegedly told the officer, “[T]he family will be better without her,” adding, “She’s gotta go, she’s ruining my life.” She also said, “I love her but… she needs to pay for what she f—ing did, b—.”

Up front, Fuecht allegedly offered the undercover officer a Samsung tablet. According to the complaint, Fuecht told the informant and the undercover officer that both her parents were retired and “worth millions,” and she could ultimately provide a $100,000 payment once her inheritance came in. Fuecht said that she was set up to receive “a couple million dollars” in the event of her parents’ deaths. Police stated that Fuecht allegedly committed to giving the hitman “$10,000 up front and $10,000 after.”

Upon their verbal agreement, police arrested Fuecht. She was charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit first-degree intentional homicide. Bond was set at $100,000 cash.
