Overview
- Gonzalez was charged Tuesday in Los Angeles with conspiracy, attempted murder and solicitation to commit murder.
- A judge set her bail at $2 million and issued a protective order that bars contact with Avery and their 7-year-old daughter.
- Her father, Florida lawyer Francisco Gonzalez, was arrested on a California warrant and awaits extradition, and alleged co-conspirator Kai Cordrey is also charged.
- Affidavits describe about $10,000 sent under fake “web‑development” invoices, later converted to Bitcoin, and a recorded call in which an undercover agent posed as the hitman.
- Investigators link the alleged scheme to a protracted custody fight and say it included surveillance of Avery in Hawaii and plans to stage the killing as a car crash.
