Woman in Repo Man Assisted Arrest in Murder for Hire Sentenced

22 January 2020 – The 2017 repo attempt during a Pennsylvania woman’s murder for hire attempt to “whack her stepmom,” which led police to the arrest of a woman and her accomplice in the subject repossession with bloody clothes and the dead woman’s credit cards has led to a guilty plea which will cost the woman 30 to 60 years in prison.

In December 2017, Tosha Mae Daley, 29, drove the killer, Nicholas Shinn, 24, who is now serving a sentence of life in prison without parole after pleading guilty to first-degree murder in October, to her stepmom’s neighborhood and handed him the knife after offering to pay him $30,000 for the deed.

The case specifically outlined the actions of a Repo Man in the investigation. The driver, who came to the address for a voluntary repossession of a vehicle, called 911 after hearing what he thought was an altercation inside the home.

Meanwhile, a second witness reported seeing a suspicious man who they followed to the stepmom’s house, and then saw running away from the house before getting into a black SUV driven by someone later identified as Tosha Daley.

Authorities who arrived found the victim outside her home and covered in blood, with more blood in the garage and inside the home. She was pronounced dead at the scene; an autopsy said she died after suffering stab wounds and blunt force trauma, according to the affidavit.

Using information provided by the Repo Man, authorities tracked the vehicle he’d been sent to repossess to a home. There, they found Tosha Daley and Shinn, along with bloody clothes and a wallet containing a credit card belonging to the victim.

Tosha Daley’s plea to third-degree murder means she admitted her intent to cause harm, but not kill the victim. Her plea averted a trial where she faced a maximum sentence of life without parole if convicted.

The sentence to which she agreed carries 20 to 40 years in prison for the murder, with an additional 10 to 20 years for the robbery.
