Wednesday Weirdness: Prospective Adoptive Parent Allegedly Hires Hitmen

The court document says Honduran police laid charges against six people in connection with the killing, all of whom were convicted. The document says the Martens were in an area called West Bay to look at a house when three people – Spencer Alvarado, Ernest Gadfrey and Edgar Cruz – surrounded them, and Alvarado shot and killed Dallas. Kristy was unharmed, but robbed of $1,000, the document says. Three others “who played a role in the offence” were also charged, the document says.In an effort to ward off the civil suit, the judgment says Wawanesa filed three sworn statements from Honduran police and prosecutors, translated to English from Spanish.

One statement, gathered by Honduran lawyer and notary Jeovanny Joel Hernandez Sanchez, says the prosecutor’s office still considers Martens’ murder investigation open because of inconsistencies in Kristy’s testimony at trial with declarations of other witnesses.

Sanchez’s statement says the official prosecutorial document says “witness declarations were obtained from protected witnesses, who stated to have knowledge that the intellectual author of the murder of Mr. Dallas War Martens had been Mrs. Kristy Martens.”

The statement says the prosecution records say there were inconsistencies between Kristy’s witness statement and testimony given at trial about the positions the vehicle and Dallas’ body were left in, “which leads to the suspicion that Mrs. Kristy Martens had participation in the event judged as crime of murder.”

Sanchez’s statement says the prosecutor’s office has resolved to open a file investigating Kristy’s role, if any, in her husband’s death and to forward the file to the local police force to investigate the case.

Sanchez also reviewed a statement given by a protected witness four days after Dallas’ killing. The witness claims a man named Spencer had complained to him that after being offered $10,500 US to kill a Canadian man, a contractor didn’t pay him. Spencer also said there was a total contract of $35,000 US issued to kill a Canadian man, which was paid by the deceased man’s wife, according to the protected witnesses’ statement.

Kristy’s Regina lawyer declined to comment on the case and would not say where she lives now.
