The family of a beloved Kentucky teacher who had never been in trouble before is left in shock after the FBI and State Police unveiled his evil plot to murder his own mother.
41-year-old Billy Reynolds was allegedly involved in a murder-for-hire plan and offered a hitman $10,000 to get rid of his mom who lived next door to him.
Investigators said that Reynolds even paid the recruited person retainer fee days before his arrest Thursday.
Reynolds, a teacher and school bus driver was described as a hardworking man.
The family said that they have no idea why he may want to kill his mother.
But court records showed that the mom sued him in November in a disagreement over property deeds. She said that her son was trying to force her to leave her home to him, promising to let her live there.
Reynolds was charged with solicitation of murder and faces up to 20 years behind bars if convicted.
