Graziano had been investigated for several months after authorities received a tip in December about the plot. Upon proof of the plot's legitimacy, they contacted Debra Graziano and made her aware of the situation.
John Sr. had requested she be killed in a car wreck (which is unbelievably callous, when you think of all that family has been through) during a time period where he would have had an alibi.
Authorities believe that Graziano was hoping that Debra's death would provide him an escape from financial issues stemming from their divorce. He was arrested at 11 AM this morning and arraigned this afternoon.
The Hogan family had long intimated there was an issue between Graziano Sr. and Jr. and that was a major reason why John had spent so much time with the family prior to his tour of duty in the Middle East.
At the time of the car wreck, Hulk Hogan began paying for a residence for Debra as the couple were estranged and she had nowhere to turn.
The Graziano family had shown a united front during Nick Hogan's sentencing as part of a plea deal, but this sad and strange turn of events certainly brings credence to the Hogan family's claims that there was more going on within the family than was obvious on the outside.
A lawsuit filed by the Graziano family in the wake of the car wreck against the Hogans is still ongoing. The Hogan family has not commented on the situation as of this writing.
