A Colorado man accused of ******* 19-year-old Natalie Bollinger told police he shot her after he replied to her Craigslist ad seeking a hitman — for herself — investigators said in court documents obtained Monday.
But before the *******, the man, Joseph Michael Lopez, 22, tried to talk her out of suicide, he told Adams County deputies, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by NBC News. After he failed to change her mind, they went for a drive and stopped by the side of the road, where they said a prayer together as Lopez knelt on the ground beside Bollinger and shot her once in the back of the head with a 9mm firearm, according to the affidavit.
Lopez said he used a *** that Bollinger gave him, which she said he could keep as payment, according to the affidavit.
