Late last night, Osceola County Sheriff's deputies arrested Mandarita Lupo and charged her with Solicitation to Commit Murder. The investigation began on November 4 when detectives with the Violent Crimes Unit received anonymous information Lupo was looking to hire a hit man to kill her ex-husband. On November 5, detectives conducted an investigation which resulted in an undercover deputy meeting with Lupo. Lupo told the undercover deputy her ex-husband was trying to take away her son and she was “hoping you can get rid of him.”She went on to say she wanted the incident to look like an accident. Lupo drove the undercover deputy to show him his residence and place of work and provided her ex-husband's work schedule and they agreed on a price. Based on the information, deputies arrested Lupo and took her into custody. Lupo cooperated with detectives during an interview before being taken to the Osceola County Jail on with no bond.
