Veterinarian accused in murder-for-hire dies by suicide

March 28, 2017

Valerie McDaniel, DVM, accused of hiring a hit man to murder her ex-husband, commits suicide before the date of her court appearance.

According to Houston authorities, the Montrose veterinarian and practice owner Valerie McDaniel, DVM, accused of plotting the murder of her ex-husband, killed herself Monday morning by jumping from her seventh-floor condo, the Houston Chronicle is reporting.

Earlier this month, McDaniel and her boyfriend were arrested and charged with solicitation of capital murder after attempting to hire a hit man to kill their exes. The court set bail at $50,000, which McDaniel posted. She was set to return to court March 28. 

McDaniel's clinic, Montrose Veterinary Clinic, had this message posted on its website today:
