Overview
- Gonzalez is in Los Angeles County custody without bail and is expected to be arraigned on a conspiracy to commit murder charge.
- Her father, Francisco Gonzalez, was arrested in Florida on the same allegation and has not been extradited to Los Angeles.
- Police say the dispute over the couple’s 7-year-old daughter evolved into a plan that began in 2021 with tracking and photographing Avery in Hawaii.
- Investigators report attempts to recruit a third party, and a federal agent later posed as a hitman during a call that discussed payments and the target.
- A witness told police Francisco said it would be cheaper if Avery were dead, and Avery has said the FBI warned him that someone wanted him killed.
