“It is kind of scary because they do walk among us. They’re out there. People are dangerous, but they’re also blinded by rage,” said Innes, who turns over disturbing requests to cops.
The website is filled with tongue-in-cheek jokes, but hundreds of people still have still contacted him for contract killers.Since 2018, at least 120 people from across the Empire State have turned to the parody site “RentAHitman.com” to try to hire a real-life killer to rub out family members, off an ex, and even torch a school, website owner Bob Innes told The Post.
Robert Innes said that he has received more than 120 requests to rent a hitman from New Yorkers since 2018In February, he tipped off the NYPD to a Kensington teen who said she was tired of being bullied at the Urban Assembly School for Leadership and Empowerment on 16th Avenue in Brooklyn — and wanted to have the school burned down.
Still, he decided to run with it — and made it clear he wasn’t a straight shooter, filling the site with obvious — and funny — signs it was only a fake contract killer rental agency. “There’s Easter eggs scattered all over the [website], but that doesn’t stop these people that are serious, that are bent on causing harm to others, from filling out a service request form,” Innes said. Deann Parkin, 30, was charged this month in federal court with using interstate commerce to facilitate a murder-for-hire plot in Idaho after allegedly reaching out to Innes’ site to off her ex-husband’s new girlfriend.
