ALLWINE, STEPHEN: How to Hire a Hitman TV - Fox9 News online -
The case of Amy Allwine: her husband Stephen ordered a hit on the dark web that led to a real-world murder. How to Hire a Hitman II, Channel 4 2022
Five years after killing his wife Amy, her enigmatic husband Stephen Allwine claims he was the victim of a high-tech framing.
‘When you look at all the scientific evidence when you look at the hard physical evidence, I couldn't have done it if you know me as an individual. I couldn't have done it,’ Allwine said.
Allwine was convicted of first-degree murder in the November 13, 2016, killing. Prosecutors and police said Allwine tried to hire a hitman on the ‘Dark Net’ to kill his wife, and when that plan turned out to be a ruse, he killed her himself and staged the crime scene to look like a suicide.
In his first interview, Allwine talked to the FOX 9 Investigators in the chapel of Stillwater Prison, where he is serving his life sentence.
Allwine offered no hard evidence proving his innocence, but rather tried to cast doubt on compelling computer forensic evidence found on 64 electronic devices taken from the Allwine home in Cottage Grove.
Allwine claims the real killer planted evidence on his electronics to implicate him in the murder. He suggests physical evidence at the crime scene that could exonerate him was ignored or discounted.
Those who were involved in the case said there is no doubt Allwine is guilty. Fox 9 News online article 21 November 2021, ‘Convicted ‘Dark Net’ killer claims innocence: ‘I couldn’t have done it’
