Rhinelander Woman Formally Charged With Attempt To Kill Husband

Oneida County Sheriff's Department

A Rhinelander woman has been formally charged with allegedly conspiring to hire a hitman.

27 year old Megan Danielczak is charged under Solicitation of 1st Degree Homicide and domestic abuse charges.

Cash bond of $15,000 was set by Oneida County Judge Patrick O'Melia.

Rhinelander Police arrested Danielczak Thursday. They report detectives initially spoke with a concerned citizen who had received information that Danielczak was looking for someone to kill her husband. On February 9, detectives met with a witness who was able to get information on her husband's vehicle, a photo of him, and his work schedule from Megan Danielczak. Megan Danielczak met with an undercover state agent Wednesday, whom she understood to be a “hit-man,” and allegedly made a down payment to him to kill her husband.

Investigators believe that a motivating factor in this case was financial gain. Investigators received information that Danielczak’s husband has a life insurance policy through his place of employment in which Megan Danielczak is allegedly named as the beneficiary.

Danielczak will make another court appearance next Friday.
