Overview
- Los Angeles County prosecutors announced Monday that Gabriela Gonzalez, her father Francisco Gonzalez, and Kai Cordrey were charged with attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and solicitation of murder.
- Prosecutors allege the three sought a killer on the dark web during a 2020–2021 custody dispute and planned to stage the death as a car crash.
- Investigators say financial records show an alleged $10,000 wire from Francisco Gonzalez to Cordrey and later transfers converted to Bitcoin that match payments discussed in the probe.
- Authorities say the case was built in part on recordings made after an FBI undercover agent posed as a hitman and on a probable‑cause affidavit and witness statements.
- Avery posted Thursday that he now has sole custody of their daughter and is focused on family stability while the criminal case proceeds and the defendants face possible sentences of 25 years to life if convicted.
