The tragic story began when Brehmer a resident of Anchorage, Alaska has developed an online relationship with Darin Schilmiller a 21-year-old man from Indiana. Schilmiller convinced Brehmer that he was a millionaire and offered her a large sum to commit a murder. Under his influence, she with the help of two of her friends, Kayden McIntosh and Caleb Leyland, she carried out the murder of Hoffman.
