Linda Tracy Gillman, 69.

LOGAN, Utah — A Utah woman already facing charges for allegedly trying to hire a hitman to kill her ex-husband now faces additional charges for trying to find another hitman to take out the first hitman.

Linda Tracy Gillman, 69, was charged in January with two counts of first-degree criminal solicitation.

Gillman allegedly asked an employee — a man who also rents a condominium from her — “if he could arrange to have her ex-husband … killed.” She gave the man $5,000 and promised him $100,000 more once she collected her ex-husband’s life insurance.

Gillman was married to Duane H. Gillman, a veteran bankruptcy attorney in Salt Lake City.

The plan was for the man to hire a third person, a “subcontractor,” to carry out the killing and make it look like Duane Gillman died from a drug overdose, according to charging documents. Instead, the man went to police.

Now, according to charging documents filed last month, while Linda Gillman was in jail pending her court proceedings, she asked another inmate to “green light” the man she had hired. Green light means “to have someone killed.”

Gillman was charged with attempted obstruction of justice.

In February, Gillman approached another inmate whom she thought was affiliated with a white supremacist gang and told her about the life insurance policy on her ex-husband.

“Gillman referred to herself as ‘the bank,’ and said that she ‘could make everything happen,” documents say.

Gillman said that if “somehow (the man) ended up dead or disappearing, then I would walk out of here a free woman.” She also stated that if the man disappeared, “it would make all her dreams come true.”

The other inmate said she stopped talking to Gillman when she realized what the woman was asking.

Gillman was scheduled to be in court Monday but refused to be taken from jail.

The attorney for a Herriman woman accused of trying to hire a hitman to kill her ex-husband and his new wife stood before a 3rd District jury on Tuesday and pleaded with them to pay close attention. The case isn’t as simple as they were led to believe, she said.

Sure, Linda Tracy Gillman was recorded on a wire planning the murders. And yes, she was the beneficiary of life insurance policies taken out on her ex-husband, which were worth millions.

But the case is complex, defense attorney Julie George said. Gillman, 70, was an old lady taken advantage of by a contractor who was bilking her.


Prosecutors painted a different picture: Gillman is vindictive and ”groomed” the contractor before implicating him in the planned killings.

Opening statements in Gillman’s trial started Tuesday afternoon. Gillman is charged with two counts of first-degree felony criminal solicitation for allegedly asking Christian Olsen, who was working on her condominium, to help her find a hitman to take out her former husband and his new wife.

While Gillman and her ex-husband were married, the two decided to take out a life insurance policy. Her husband, a smoker who had diabetes, was the earner in the relationship, George said in court.

But they divorced. Gillman used alimony payments to start a business and she owned a nice home and a condo, George said.

She also continued to make payments on the life insurance policies, according to prosecutors, which kept rising. By September 2016, the payments were $9,900 per month, and were about to go up again.


So when Gillman reached out to Hired Gun Home Improvement and began working with Olsen, she inquired about the range of his services, prosecutors allege.

Gillman referenced the name of Olsen’s company and asked if he was a hitman, Olsen testified. It was a joke he heard often from clients.

Olsen thought nothing of it. But as time went on, prosecutors allege, her ex remained alive and Gillman kept paying out on the two life insurance policies, worth a combined $4 million, according to charging documents.

Olsen testified Tuesday that Gillman told him about bad times in her marriage. She said her former husband laced her food and toothpaste with cyanide in an attempt to poison her, he testified. And in October 2016, Gillman once again broached the subject of a hitman.

This time, Olsen said, he realized it wasn’t a joke.

Gillman gave Olsen $5,000 and told him to find a hitman, using the money as a down payment. Instead, prosecutors say, Olsen spent the money on himself and his children.


When Gillman would ask about progress, Olsen would say the hitman was working on casing the ex-husband’s home. After a few months, she became impatient, according to the prosecution, and in December 2016, she told Olsen she found someone else to do the job.

Worried that a murder might take place, Olsen claims he went to the ex-husband’s home and informed him and his new wife of the plan. The three went to police.

After getting the police involved, Olsen spoke with Gillman several more times while wearing a recording device. In those conversations, Gillman allegedly offered up an additional $10,000 to have her former husband’s new wife killed as well.

But George told the jury Tuesday to pay attention not just to the evidence, such as the audio recordings and Olsen’s testimony, but also to what won’t be said by prosecutors.

She said Olsen, originally hired to do work on a vanity, proposed a plethora of additional work, including a remodeling of her condo. While working on it, he moved in. He conned her into giving him a truck, George said.

Pay careful attention, George told the jury in her brief opening statement: Gillman wasn’t the only one who stood to gain from her ex-husband’s death.

In a case akin to a mafia movie, an elderly lady has been jailed for trying to hire a hitman to knock off her husband. She now faces new charges, after reportedly trying, while she was behind bars, to have two other people killed.
A jury found Linda Gillman guilty on Friday of trying to hire a hitman to kill her ex-husband. The saga dates back to 2016, when prosecutors say Gillman hired one of her employees, a handyman who also rents a condo from her, to help her find a person to kill her ex-husband and his new wife.

The plan was for the man to hire a third person to carry out the murder and make it look like her ex-husband died from a drug overdose, the charges state, according to local news outlet KSL.

She allegedly gave the handyman $5,000 and promised him another $100,000 once her ex-husband and his wife were dead, and she had collected the life insurance money.
Gillman was still listed as the beneficiary on three life insurance policies taken out on her ex-husband Duane Gillman. The combined payout of all three policies was $3.3 million, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

That plan was foiled when Gillman's employee went to the police. Gillman was subsequently arrested.

But being jailed apparently didn't faze Gillman. While she was behind bars at the Salt Lake County Jail, she approached another inmate in an effort to have the handyman who went to police –her former employee– killed.

"Gillman referred to herself as 'the bank,' and said that she 'could make everything happen'" if he would take care of the employee. She added that if "somehow (the man) ended up dead or disappearing, then I would walk out of here a free woman," investigators wrote, adding that Gillman said that "it would make all her dreams come true" if he disappeared. That case was ultimately dismissed due to problems with witnesses.

But the plot thickened once again on Friday, the same day Gillman was convicted of trying to have her husband killed. In a surprise move, prosecutors said the 70-year-old had tried to hire yet another hit man from within the jail, as recently as three weeks ago.
Police say she tried to send a $155,000 check out of the jail with her attorney on February 13. That check was reportedly the bail for a woman who Gillman had befriended in the jail.

In exchange, the bailed woman was tasked with finding the employee from the first case, to try to get him to sign a "confess letter" that was written by Gillman. If he refused to sign it, the woman was instructed to notify another person, who would then kill him.
But, once again, it doesn't end there. Gillman also tasked the bailed-out woman with finding someone to kill an attorney who had opposed her in a previous, civil case that she had lost.

Gillman was officially charged on Friday with two more counts of criminal solicitation, a first-degree felony, and two counts of obstruction of justice, a second-degree felony.
Meanwhile, the 70-year-old faces potential life in prison for the Friday conviction. Her sentencing is set for April 23.
