Yesterday, February 15, 2018, detectives from the Rhinelander Police Department arrested 27 year old Megan M. Danielczak for solicitation to commit First Degree Intentional Homicide of her husband.
Megan Danielczak was arrested in the City of Tomahawk, WI, at her place of work with the assistance of the Tomahawk Police Department.

Upon receiving the information detectives opened up an investigation on February 6, 2018.
On February 9, 2018, Rhinelander detectives met with a citizen witness who subsequently was able to obtain information on Mr. Danielczak’s vehicle, a photo of him, and his work schedule from Megan Danielczak. Megan Danielczak subsequently met with an undercover DCI agent on February 14, 2018, whom she understood to be a “hit-man,” and made a down payment to him to kill her husband. Based on the totality of this investigation, investigators believe that a motivating factor in this case was financial gain. Investigators received information that Danielczak’s husband has a life insurance policy through his place of employment in which Megan Danielczak is named the beneficiary. Investigators are following up in this information. Megan Danielczak is expected to have an initial appearance today in Oneida County Circuit Court at 1:15 p.m. It should be stressed that there is a presumption of innocence on Megan Danielczak’s behalf until proven otherwise through full adjudication in a court of law. .
