Lynette Pontius On Boyfriend Martin Campbell Murder

Lynette Pontius planned on killing her ex-boyfriend Martin Campbell over a child custody dispute.

The former couple was parents of a 7-year-old Alicia when the incident took place in Campbell’s house in Kalamazoo, Richland. However, they had already separated at that point.

Pontius conspired then 50-year-old man Joseph J. Laverne to shoot the father of her daughter and then he invaded Campbell’s house on February 8, 2007, with a pistol wearing a ski mask.

The attack happened on morning 8 when his girlfriend Elizabeth had dropped the kids at the bus stop. Martin was shot but is known to have survived the attack.

Pontius and Campbell had a dispute over child custody. The court had awarded Campbell the custody of Alicia but he was happy to provide the complete freedom for the mother-daughter to see anytime.

However, their relationship took an ugly turn which led Campbell to take full custody control over Alicia and Pontius's struggle as a single mother, which eventually had her hire a gunman to kill Martin Campbell.
