During a bond hearing in Duval County, Florida, shocking details emerged regarding the murder of Microsoft manager Jared Bridegan. His ex-wife, Shanna Gardner, is accused of orchestrating his killing by hiring a hitman, Henry Tenon, for $150,000. Gardner, along with her second husband, Mario Fernandez Saldana, faces charges of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, solicitation to commit a capital felony, and child endangerment.
A witness testified that Gardner wrote 'good luck!' on a check to Tenon, indicating her alleged involvement in the murder plot. The payment was disguised as an investment in Tenon's pallet company but was intended as payment for the homicide. Prosecutors described the scheme as a contract killing of Bridegan, who was shot and killed in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, in February 2022.
