What an idiot. He deserves everything that's coming to him. The wife sure dodged a bullet, literally and figuratively.

She sure did.
I find it amazing that people think that this is ok, or that having someone murdered is an option vs. just divorce. It sounds so obvious when I write it, why can't people just settle for divorce? Those famous murder trials like Scot Peterson... it never occurs to them to just leave and divorce their spouse and move on? Crazy people out there.

What pisses me off more than anything are the inevitable comments about how the wife probably deserved it, etc. It's always the wife's fault. He's a would-be murderer, but that's okay...

Absolutely!
It is all her fault, he crap he has to put up with. Whatever. Hopefully he will be locked up for quite a while, and thus won't have to 'put up with her crap' as he puts it!

What a smart lady. She suspected and went out of her way to get proof.

It's not that hard to sign intosomeone elses profile and make up a false story. Can the FBI prove that it was he who typed the msg? It could have been his wife...
Entrapment is also against the law, why isn't the wife being charged?

As for the wife, IS entrapment against the law? Can you cite a law? Entrapment against the police can be illegal, depending on circumstances. But let's not forget that the police always go online and pose as teens to entrap pedophiles; she's not doing anything police havent' done.
In the end, HE was expressing his intent to murder HER. She's not the bad guy here. He is.

She is not law enforcement or a government official. Even if law enforcement were acting on her behalf, he solicited her. He was not induced or enticed to seek someone to 'cap' his wife. The idea of 'entrapment' is overused and misunderstood. They have him by the short hairs.

Oh I totally understand but I also look at it in a different perspective. How are they to prove it was he that wrote the msgs? Was the isp to a home computer or a personal computer? If personal, is he the only one using the computer? I have a personal computer but my family knows my passwords so that they too can use it if needed.
I would also be interested in knowing what the (if any)other msgs stated prior to him claiming to wanting to kill his wife, if it was him at all. Can't judge a book by its cover until you know all the details.
How do they EVER figure out anyone wrote message or is behind computer usage? Somehow they figure out when someone hacks a govt' or bank computer, for example.
I would also be interested in knowing what the (if any)other msgs stated prior to him claiming to wanting to kill his wife, if it was him at all. Can't judge a book by its cover until you know all the details.
Which is why I'm not about to judge his wife guilty of writing message to frame him.

I'm not judging either, just interested in all the facts like most of you. For all I know it could have been the family cat. (;
But prosecutors dropped those charges when Voelkert convinced them that he had just been playing along with his ex-wife's ruse and had known it was a scam all along.
How does one convince the cops of that??

My kudos to this woman. I wanted to do the same sort of thing to my ex-husband but just couldn't get up the nerve. Thank goodness once many of the women found out that he was really married, they got pissed off and called the house and told me, otherwise, who knows how else I would have gotten the proof. Still, after 10 years of being divorced from the guy, and him being married to another unsuspecting woman, he continues to tell me how much he has "changed" yet sends me texts on quite a regular basis referencing our past sexual experiences and things he would like to see me wear and how he would like to meet me, etc. Does that seem like a man that has changed his ways? Heck no!!! I'm just glad I'm not married to him anymore.
