A prominent Texas auto businessman is being accused of hiring two former U.S. Marines and a self-proclaimed former member of the Israeli Defense Forces to kill his mistress and her former boyfriend, federal prosecutors allege.
According to investigators, Erik Charles Maund hired three men to shoot the pair. The motive, investigators say: The former boyfriend called Maund, who is married, to extort him by threatening to expose the affair.
According to the indictment, Maund traveled frequently to Nashville to see what FBI agents described as a family member. In February 2020, he emailed Williams to alert her he would be in Nashville again and wanted to see her. After the text message, Maund "set events in motion to kidnap, threaten and intimidate in retaliation,” the indictment said.
On March 9, 2020, Peled received a document stating that Carey and others had surveilled Williams and "would use everything at their disposal to stop the attempted extortion of Maund," federal officials said.
