“I will pay somebody a stack to kill my baby father.”

It’s not your everyday status update. But police say that’s the message that one angry woman posted on her facebook profile back on May 23, after getting into an argument with the father of her child.

NBC Philadelphia: Police search for missing 8-year-old boy

On June 10, police arrested 20-year-old London Eley of Philadelphia after she allegedly tried to hire someone to kill her baby’s father for $1,000.

“I never thought she would do anything like that,” said the father of London’s child.

“I didn’t know she was that type of person.”

Even more shocking was the alleged first response. Investigators say 18-year-old Tim Bynum replied to Eley’s message by writing on her profile “say no more, what he look like?”

Investigators say that the victim’s aunt saw the messages and contacted her nephew. The two then went straight to the police.
