Camden County JailA prominent Lake of the Ozarks real estate agent and self-described âcheer momâ has been arrested for allegedly trying to put a hit out on her former mother-in-law. Prosecutors in Camden County say Leigh Ann Bauman, 43, offered to pay $1,500 to people in St. Louis to make her former mother-in-lawâs death âlook like an accident.â She was reportedly concerned about the woman causing problems with her relationship with her kids.Bauman was recorded discussing the scheme, according to a press release from the Camden County prosecutorâs office. She was given multiple opportunities to change her mind when asked by a witness-turned-informant if she was sure she wanted to carry out the killing, prosecutors said, but she moved ahead with it, at one point acknowledging that she was a Christian but noting she could always ask for forgiveness later.The realtor also is said to have made no secret about her alleged plans. After sending a text message to her daughter that said, âYour grandmother will die,â Bauman allegedly plowed ahead with the plan and pushed for her former mother-in-law to be killed in the small town of Hermann.Her alleged murder-for-hire plot fell apart when an attorney for a person who was solicited to hire people to carry out the killing contacted the Missouri Highway Patrol. She was arrested on Thursday and charged with conspiracy to commit murder and is currently being held without bond in the Camden County Jail.âWeâre very appreciative of what the witness did in this case,â Camden County Prosecutor Caleb Cunningham said Friday. âWe encourage anyone to contact law enforcement if thereâs a crime or suspected crime.â âA local realtor had several political connections and the witness was aware of these political connections,â Cunningham said. âOut of an abundance of caution, DDCC was used to avoid any hint of impropriety,â he said, referring to the Missouri Highway Patrol Division of Drug and Crime Control.Bauman, who describes herself as a realtor, an artist, an entrepreneur, and a âcheer momâ on her Facebook page, frequently posted online about her âtrack record of success.â While she was most well-known as a realtor, with nearly 20 years in the industry, she also apparently set a world record in a boating race last year. Her LinkedIn account also mentions work in pharmaceutical sales and an acting and modeling career, with appearances on Days of Our Lives and in Nike commercials.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

Criminal ComplaintA Trump appointee, who was still employed at the State Department when he allegedly bashed police at the U.S. Capitol with a riot shield and egged on a crowd of insurrectionists, has been arrested for his role on Jan. 6.Federico Klein, a 42-year-old State Department staff assistant with top security clearance, is facing a slew of charges, including unlawful entry and assaulting an officer with a dangerous weapon, according to a criminal complaint first obtained by The New York Times. Prosecutors allege Klein, who also worked on Trumpâs 2016 campaign, âphysically and verbally engaged with the officers holding the lineâ before assaulting one officer with a riot shieldâand using that stolen police equipment to wedge open a door into the Capitol to allow insurrectionists inside. âWe need fresh people, need fresh people!â Klein, who is wearing a red MAGA hat, is heard yelling in a YouTube video as people stormed the building and police strained to hold back the crowd. Criminal Complaint During his initial court appearance on Friday, Kleinâs appetite for chaos had subsided. After Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui read Klein his charges, Klein made it known he wasnât happy about the conditions in a D.C. jail. âI wonder if thereâs a place where I can stay in detention where I donât have cockroaches crawling over me while I attempt to sleep... I mean, I really havenât slept all that much, your honor. It would be nice if I could sleep in a place where there were not cockroaches everywhere,â Klein said, according to The Washington Post.Prosecutors argued on Friday that Klein should be detained pending trial because he assaulted an officer. A federal defender, however, insisted that Kleinâs charges donât amount to a crime of violence and he should be released under appropriate conditions. Criminal Complaint Kleinâs arrest on Thursday night in Virginia, first reported by Politico, marked the first time a member of the Trump administration has faced charges in connection with the deadly siege. More than 300 people have been charged in connection with the riot that followed a speech by Trump in which he flogged the false claim that he had won the November 2020 election.According to the complaint, Klein was identified by people who saw the FBI social-media campaign with photos of rioters at the Capitol. The FBI also noted that he still had top-secret clearance for his work in the office of Brazilian and Southern Cone Affairs until his resignation on Jan. 19.Another tipster flagged Klein's Facebook account to the feds, which was under the name âFreddie Klein,â according to court documents. On Kleinâs Facebook page, he is seen in photos among a group covered in MAGA gearâand in another enjoying several Miller High Lifes.According to a ProPublica database of Trump appointees, Klein worked as a special assistant in the Office of Brazilian and Southern Cone Affairs after joining the State Department on Jan. 22, 2017, where he was paid $66,510.âItâs Not Fair!â: Rioter Who Posed in Pelosiâs Office Loses It in CourtA LinkedIn profile identified as Kleinâs also states he has been politically active in the Republican Party since at least 2008, when he began volunteering for campaigns. Klein worked for the Trump campaign just prior to going to work for the State Department. Kleinâs mother, Cecilia Klein, told Politico that her son had admitted to being in D.C. on Jan. 6âbut told her that he was only âon the Mall. Thatâs what he told me.ââFredâs politics burn a little hot... but Iâve never known him to violate the law.âĤ While I believe, as he said, he was on the Mall that day, I donât have any evidence, nor will I ever ask him, unless he tells me, where he was after he was on the Mall,â she added.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.
