Plastic surgery can make people do crazy things. It seems that some people will stop at nothing to have their dream bodies. When I say nothing, I am including murder. That’s right, murder. It appears that for a Colorado Springs man, the murder of his mother was a sacrifice worth making to pay for his girlfriend’s breast augmentation.
The details of this case are as sinister and gruesome as they are bizarre. You can almost see the Coen brothers making this into their next film. Think of it as somewhere in between the twisted psychosis of Fargo and the comedic ineptness of Raising Arizona. Fortunately, the attackers were incapable of getting the job done — maybe we need to throw The Big Lebowski into the equation as well.
The botched murder plot, which has been called the “boob job murder” case, was hatched by 19-year-old Nikita Lee Weis, who hired two men to kill his mother. Weis wanted to murder his mother for money. However, he was not looking for a big payoff — this brutal crime was to be committed over chump change.
Once his mother was out of the way, Weis planned to sell her car on the Internet so that he could pay for his girlfriend’s rent and breast implants. It is uncertain if Weis expected any other financial windfalls from the murder of his mother. I would hope so, since he went to great lengths to risk the life of his mother as well as his own personal freedom to sell a used car. Depending on the car, it is likely that he would not have even received enough money for it to pay for the boob job.
On the day the deed was to be done, a man dressed in black entered Ms. Weis’ house and hit her on the head with a miniature baseball bat. Had they brought a full-sized bat to do the job, they might have had better luck. As it turns out, the miniature baseball bat was not enough to render Ms. Weis unconscious. She quickly set off her car alarm, which scared the would-be murderer away.
Had this attempted murder been successful, the conspirators planned to wrap her body in plastic and bury it in the desert in either Arizona or New Mexico. I wonder if they would have used her car to transport the dead body before trying to sell it online. They would have brought new meaning to the term “new car smell.”
Weis’ girlfriend, 21-year-old Sophia Nicole Alsept, has just been sentenced to two years in prison for her role in the botched “boob job murder” plot. Currently, Weis and the other two conspirators have yet to be sentenced. I wonder if his mother will visit him in jail.
If you need to scrape together some extra cash to pay for your plastic surgery, there are many other ways to legitimately come up with the money. If you can’t put the procedure on your credit card, you can ask your plastic surgeon about the financing options he offers. Or perhaps, you can just ask your mother to sell her car and give you the money. At least this way, you don’t have to try and kill her for a measly few thousand dollars.
