Las Vegas, NV – According to the police officials, the 35-year-old wife, later identified as MeIisa, and her 59-year-old mom, later identified as RosaIie, (both from Nevada) were taken into custody and later charged with murder and other charges in connection with MeIisa’s husband’s death, 37-year-old Travls. The mom and daughter are facing charges in Idaho, where the crime occurred. Police officials said the investigation process began earlier this month after the victim’s body was found.

The older woman told investigators that several days before the murder, they talked in their home how to get rid of her daughter’s husband for good. The older woman also said that it was her idea to kill the man. The mother also told investigators that her daughter shot her husband to death because she didn’t want her mom to get in trouble.
