The Juan-Carlos Cruz Recipe for Death

Do you remember Juan-Carlos Cruz, the one time television chef and Food Network host of "Calorie Commando?"
We don't either, but he's under arrest on suspicion of solicitation to commit murder.


The homeless people told the city's homeless liaison officers that Cruz asked them to kill someone, and they  agreed to help police investigate the murder-for-hire plot.

Detectives were able to find out where, when and how the targeted individual was to be killed and how much money Cruz was going to pay.
Police notified the intended victim (his wife) and the one time pastry chef was arrested.
