Diane Borchardt was a former teacher’s aide/study hall monitor at Jefferson High School in Wisconsin. She was convicted of hiring three of her students to murder her estranged husband, Ruben Borchardt, on Easter morning in 1994.
Ruben Borchardt was a widower with two kids who married Diane in 1979. They were living happily till 1993 when Ruben wanted to divorce Diane as he was going around with someone else. Diane then approached three of her students for murdering Ruben and offered the youths $20,000 from a life insurance policy, her wedding and engagement rings and two cars in exchange for the killing.
Although Diane had a good alibi, one of the murderers spoke out of the plot as Diane as the mastermind of the plot. At her trial, Diane Borchardt was found guilty of first degree intentional homicide. She was sentenced to life in prison.
