<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nWe first wrote about Joseph Hunter in 2012<\/a> when he was arrested for plotting the death of a DEA agent for his drug cartel boss. He was convicted and sentenced to twenty years for that charge in 2016<\/a>. This week Hunter and two cohorts were found guilty of a contract murder in the Philippines of a real estate broker;<\/p>\n Prosecutors said the 52-year-old Hunter was working as a security chief for weapons and drug trafficker Paul Le Roux when he recruited Samia and Stillwell to travel from their homes in Roxboro, N.C., to the Philippines for what was called “ninja work.” They said Hunter provided firearms and silencers and told them Le Roux would pay them $35,000 a piece to get the job done.<\/p>\n [Adam] Samia, 43, and [Carl David] Stillwell, 50, pretended to be potential clients of the broker. While returning from a trip to the countryside outside of Manila, Samia pulled out a .22-caliber gun and killed the broker by shooting her twice in the face as she sat in the back seat of a van, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n After being paid, her killers were ordered back to the United States, where they were arrested in 2015.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n All three are looking at life sentences. We’ve unsuccessfully tried to get a FOIA on Hunter for six years, who everyone claims to be a special forces-qualified-soldier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
