SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2015 9 A Westlake woman pleads not guilty in murder-for-hire plot Police claim Pamela Gygi hired hitman to kill ex-husband B Y C HANTELLE M EYER Siuslaw News Pamela Jean Gygi, of Westlake, pleaded not guilty last week in the Lane County case accusing her of hiring a hitman to kill her ex- husband. A federal Pamela Gygi grand jury indicted Gygi on Aug. 24, charging her with using inter- state commerce facilities in the commission of murder for hire. Gygi faces four federal charges. Gygi, 57, allegedly contact- ed a parolee to kill her ex-hus- band, who had a $100,000 life insurance policy that named Gygi as the sole beneficiary. The parolee told the FBI that Gygi promised him $600 in cash, her ex’s online busi- ness, some property in California and a 2005 Dodge Stratus in exchange for his services. He is a cooperating witness in the case. According to a court affi- davit, the parolee instead warned Gygi’s ex of the plot against him. The ex contacted the FBI on June 1. On July 10, the FBI arrested Gygi at Gateway Mall in Springfield. She is currently lodged in the Lane County Jail. __________ Follow Chantelle on Twitter @SNews_Chantelle.

They asked such intelligent questions, and were really helpful and kind.” Each child received a small stipend for gathering and lay- ing out work, and will return this week to help finish plac- ing stones in the labyrinth. The DuBoses are hoping to take the children and some of their friends on a field trip to the local Coast Guard station soon.
