Texas Woman’s Deadly Fentanyl Chocolate Plot

(Coleman, Texas) There is a Texas woman who was arrested recently for plotting to murder her ex-husband with Fentanyl-laced chocolate according to law enforcement officials.

According to WFAA, 63-year-old Pamela Jean Stanley was arrested on July 10, 2025 by the Parker County Sheriff’s Special Crimes Unit after she was involved in an undercover sting operation.

Stanley has been indicted on charges of criminal solicitation with intent to commit murder after she planned to kill her ex-husband by sending him chocolates that were supposed to be laced with Fentanyl.

How the Murder Plot Unfolded

The sheriff’s office reports that Stanley was recorded when she was explaining to an acquaintance that she was going to purchase the Fentanyl and ‘inject’ it into some high-end chocolates. Her plan was to send them to her ex-husband as a gift from a travel agency as he was recently engaged. She was also planning to send an incentive offer.

The victim was supposed to be Jeff Kauth, who remarried last week. After hearing about her plot, he described the situation as scary.

Undercover Sting Leads to Arrest

Stanley was then found to have driven several hours where she met an undercover SCU investigator and bought what she thought was Fentanyl in a clear plastic baggie.

Immediately after making the purchase, Stanley was taken into custody and was also found to be in possession of 9.5 grams of methamphetamine.
