Who knew that being a skin-care specialist could be hazardous to your health?
According to the Associated Press, Dawn Melody DaLuise, 56, was cleared of charges that she allegedly plotted to kill her rival beautician.
DaLuise’s lawyer, said she was venting when she said she hated her rival Gabriel Suarez.
“DaLuise wrongly believed Suarez was behind a campaign that included posting lewd flyers of her face photo-edited on pornography, emails and Craigslist ads with her home address seeking men to act out a “rape fantasy.”
Authorities later arrested her friend, Edward Feinstein, on suspicion of stalking and said he had goaded her into the murder-for-hire plot. Feinstein has not been charged in the case. Ricardo Santiago, a spokesman for the district attorney, said that investigation continues.
Prosecutors said DaLuise became obsessed with Suarez, who had recently opened his business on the same West Hollywood block as her Skin Refinery, which counted Alicia Silverstone, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Christina Ricci among its clientele.
At some point, DaLuise confided in Chris Geile, who played three games for the Detroit Lions in 1987, about her suspicions that Suarez was behind the stalking. She sent text messages to friends saying Geile was going to “take Gabriel out.”
Geile testified that he was only a shoulder to cry on for DaLuise and was never asked to kill anyone.
DaLuise lost her business after being jailed in March on charges of solicitation of murder and solicitation of assault likely to produce great bodily injury, Hicks said.”
