Author: Andrew Horansky Updated: 10:55 AM EST December 17, 2020 EASTLAKE, Ohio — Some stories are just meant for “Dateline.” This one unfolded out of Eastlake nearly ten years ago, when 41-year-old Christine Metter went on Facebook to complain that her ex-husband, David Metter, was abusive during their marriage. Metter's friend, Patrick Sabo of Lake County, joked that she should hire a hitman. Authorities say Metter took the joke seriously and that she and her father, 77-year-old Al Zombory, met with Sabo at a Lake County restaurant and gave him $3,000 to find someone to do the job.
