Sep 05, 2023, 11:00 AM
California equestrian, Tatyana Remley, is currently behind bars after allegedly attempting multiple times to hire hitmen to kill her estranged husband, Mark Remley. According to a statement from the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, Remley is charged with solicitation of murder and two weapons charges. She is currently being held without bail at the Las Colinas Detention Facility in Santee, California, and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The Investigation
The Sheriff's Department launched an investigation into Remley’s suspicious activities following a house fire at the ranch owned by the couple in Del Mar, California. Mark Remley claimed to The Coast News that Tatyana intentionally set fire to their home after he allegedly discovered her plan to kill him in early July. However, in the divorce papers filed in July, Tatyana stated that she and a friend were present at the time of the fire but were unaware of its origin.
Mark also claimed that Tatyana offered a mutual friend $2 million to kill him. However, the friend declined the offer and informed Mark, who then reported the incident to the police, instigating a sting operation. The Sheriff’s office confirmed that they summoned an arson unit to the fire scene, and Tatyana was initially arrested for alleged "firearms-related offenses" after officers discovered three firearms and ammunition on her. Following this, an investigation into her alleged murder-for-hire plot commenced after receiving information about her intentions.
The Sting Operation
A month after the initial investigation began, Tatyana met with an undercover officer, believing him to be a hitman. According to the Sheriff's Department, "She provided detailed information on how she wanted her husband killed and his body disposed." Additionally, Tatyana brought three firearms and US currency as a down payment for the murder. The meetup and subsequent arrest occurred at a local Starbucks, as reported by The Coast News.
A History of Turmoil
The Coast News has extensively reported on the Remleys' high-profile business failures. In 2012, the couple ran a short-lived equestrian acrobatics show, which they discontinued after only four shows and over $100,000 of investments. They claimed the show was canceled due to poor ticket sales. However, this decision left dozens of performers unpaid and stranded, along with their horses. Some crew members stated that they had uprooted their lives to travel across the country and join the production, initially planned as a five-city tour.
The Remleys married in 2011, and their relationship has reportedly been tumultuous in recent years, marked by numerous separations and reconciliations.
Upcoming Court Appearance
Tatyana Remley's next court appearance is scheduled for October 16. As she awaits her day in court, the shocking allegations against her have left the community stunned, raising questions about the extent of the troubles between the Remleys and what led to this drastic turn of events.
Conclusion
The arrest of Tatyana Remley for allegedly attempting to hire hitmen to murder her estranged husband has sent shockwaves through the community. With a history of business failures, a tumultuous relationship, and now charges of solicitation of murder and weapons offenses, the saga of the Remleys' relationship seems far from over. As Tatyana prepares for her upcoming court appearance, many questions remain unanswered about what led to this dark chapter in their lives.
