Relationship Details Of Leon Jacob
Leon Jacob used to date his ex-girlfriend, Meghan Verikas, in the past. They dated for around three years since they first met in 2014. When they broke up in 2017, Leon started to threaten and stalk Meghan. After some time, she got a restraining order against him, and Leon even threatened her with emails and letters.
Then, Leon Jacob began dating a veterinary doctor Valerie McDaniel who was also eager to get rid of her ex. They both hired a hitman to kill their exes. However, the hitman disappeared with advance payment. Later, Leon asked bail bondsman Michael Kubosh to track down the original hitman, and Michael approached authorities. As a result, an officer under the disguise of a hitman met Leon and Valerie. The undercover officer made them believe their exes were killed, leading to their arrest for solicitation of murder in 2018.
After two weeks after their arrest, Leon’s girlfriend, Valerie McDaniel, committed suicide. She wanted to kill her ex-husband, Mack McDaniel, and they have a daughter together. Hence, Leon Jacob was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison in 2018.
