My Wife Hired a Hitman So I Faked My Death | Fakes, Frauds & Scammers

Ramon Sosa had a seemingly perfect life: he owned a local business in Texas, had a family and a beautiful wife. So how did he find himself lying in his own grave, pretending to be dead? It turns out, his wife Lulu actually wanted him killed, and was working with a man she thought was a hitman to make it happen.

Through an interview with Ramon and Lieutenant Michael Atkins, we hear how they faked his death to catch Lulu in the act, and ultimately put her in prison for 20 years.

In a series of candid interviews, Fakes, Frauds & Scammers relives some of the most audacious scams and fraudulent stunts of our time from the mouths of the perpetrators themselves. Whether it’s money, fame or simply an addiction to lying, we find out what motivated these tricksters and whether the highs, lows and ramifications were worth it in the end.
