Samuels Tries To Have Her Killed Over Child Support

Samuels hid millions in the Caymans, and pleaded poverty to a judge, who then ordered him to pay $3,000 a month in child support.  At that point he hatched the plan to get rid of the Grossmans, and line his own pockets at the same time. He had a $1 million life insurance policy on Heather Grossman.

In 1996 Samuels hires a hit man to kill his ex-wife and her husband John Grossman, for $1,500. The cheap moron hires two crack addicts, and they bungled a drive by shooting, Grossman received a grazing hit, and the wife, became a paraplegic, but lived.
 
   

The Murder Attempt

And on Oct. 14, 1997, the men tailed the Grossmans as they drove to lunch, pulling up beside and shooting them with a 30-30 Winchester. When the light turned green, Stafford shouted "Now!" and Runyon fired two shots. He struck Heather Grossman in the neck, but only grazed John Grossman's face.
