Horse show producer admits trying to hire a hitman to kill husband By Laura Place
VISTA — The North County woman behind an infamous failed multimillion-dollar horse show pleaded guilty this week to soliciting the murder of her husband. Tatyana Remley, 43, pleaded guilty in Vista Superior Court on Thursday to one count each of solicitation to commit murder and possession of a concealed firearm that was not regis- REMLEY tered in her name. She was immediately sentenced to a stipulated three years and eight months in state prison. Prosecutors agreed to dismiss a second gun-related charge as part of the plea bargain. Remley was arrested in August after offering to pay an undercover deputy to kill her husband, Mark Remley, during a sting operation. She brought along a “down payment” and three firearms to the meeting, and described in detail how she wanted her husband killed and his body disposed of, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. Law enforcement was first informed of Remley’s murder-for-hire plans around a month earlier, after she made a similar offer to one of the couples’ mutual friends. In July, Remley reportedly first offered money to Garrett Winne, a friend of the couple, to carry out the murder of her husband. Winne reported the incident to law enforcement and Remley was later arrested in a sting operation after soliciting an undercover officer to kill her husband at a Starbucks in Solana Beach. Remley’s change of plea comes just weeks before her scheduled preliminary hearing in mid-January. Tatyana and Mark Remley were both involved in the creation of Valitar, a circus-style horse show planned to run TURN TO REMLEY ON 21

FBI probes synagogue threats Local temples target of bogus bomb threats From staff and wire reports
REGION — Six San Diego-area synagogues were among scores of Jewish religious facilities statewide whose daily operations were disrupted Tuesday by false bomb threats, authorities reported. According to Bill Ganley, community security director for the Jewish Federation of San Diego, a group email sent to 91 facilities total across California shortly before 7 a.m. on Jan. 2 specifically targeted the places of worship. The note stated that explosives had been planted at the various sites and would detonate “soon,” according to Ganley and Lt. Zheath Sanchez of the San Diego

County Sheriff's Department. Law enforcement searches of the temples turned up no reported hazards. The local institutions victimized by the hoax were Congregation Beth Israel in San Diego, Congregation Etz Chaim in Ramona, Temple Adat Shalom in Poway, Temple Emanu-El in San Diego, Temple Etz Rimon
in Carlsbad and Temple Solel in Encinitas. A staff member at Temple Solel on Manchester Avenue in the Ca rdif f-by-the - Sea neighborhood made an emergency call shortly after 8:30 a.m. to report the synagogue’s preschool receiving the menacing message via email, according to Melissa Lopez Aquino, a spokesperson with the San Diego Coun-
ty Sheriff’s Department. The note stated that explosives had been planted at the temple and would detonate “soon,” Lt. Zheath Sanchez said. Firefighters and law enforcement responded to the scene and evacuated the synagogue, which includes a preschool, and deputies searched the buildings and grounds with bomb-sniffing dogs, finding nothing hazardous. The personnel gave an all-clear shortly after 10 a.m. The FBI has taken charge of the case, Ganley said. No suspects had been publicly identified. Such anti-Semitic terrorist threats have been on the rise, Ganley noted. Between Dec. 13 and New Year’s Day, more than 700 were reported to the Secure Community Network, a Jewish security organization that works with hundreds of synagogues across the United States, he said.
