YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this episode Crime Watch Daily Updates: Nancy and Chris Latham’s marriage was visibly starting to crumble. Chris made tons of money as a banker in Charleston, South Carolina, and Nancy was a socialite who moved in all the right circles. Chris, however, had extramarital affairs, including with his exotic dancer-turned-secretary, Wendy Moore. Chris and Nancy were splitting up, and that much was clear.
On April 5, 2013, a man named Aaron Wilkinson got pulled over during a traffic stop and revealed to police he was actually in town on a murder-for-hire plot. He and his co-conspirator, Samuel Yenawine, were supposed to kill Nancy and anyone who got in their way — including her daughters.
After confessing to the plot, Aaron was taken into custody and would eventually become the prosecution's star witness.
Law enforcement officials arrested Samuel Yenawine, who also happened to be Wendy Moore’s ex-husband. Soon, Wendy was also taken into custody, but Chris wasn’t in the area.
Nancy helped federal agents locate Chris, and he was booked into jail.
While awaiting trial, Samuel committed suicide in his cell.
In 2014, Chris was convicted of using interstate facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire. A jury found Moore guilty of conspiracy and use of interstate facilities in the commission of murder for hire, solicitation of murder for hire, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.
Wendy was sentenced to 15 years in prison, and Chris to 10 years. Aaron pleaded guilty to federal charges and was sentenced to four years behind bars as well as 500 hours of mental health treatment. He’s reportedly out of prison.
In 2016, Wendy and Chris appealed, but the South Carolina court of appeals upheld the conviction. She tried again in 2021 and was released from federal prison in Florida in October 2021. Court records show Chris got out January 14, 2022.
Let’s take a look back at the case of a woman whose life was spared by none other than the man hired to kill her.
