This is a story about two botched murder attempts by hired hitmen.

And what happened when 65-year-old Joyce Sturdivant took matters into her own hands?

One of the most common forms of homicide is when one half of a couple kills the other.

Women are usually the victims of this form of homicide.

Only one percent of male victims are killed by a partner.

But in this case, 65-year-old Joyce Sturdivant knocked off her husband after the hitmen she hired failed to kill Big Joe Sturdivant, a burly stock car racer in Central Texas.
