Caught on dashcam injecting her ex with fatal dose of 'poison"

Amanda Hovanec enlisted her lover and her mother in her cold-blooded plot

- GAIL SHORTLAND

Amanda Hovanec’s husband Timothy was an engineer for the US Department of State and his work often took them overseas. In 2018, Timothy, 36, was sent to South Africa for two years and his wife and their three daughters went along, too.

While they were there, Hovanec met a South African man called Anthony Theodorou in a local restaurant and they started an affair. Their relationship continued long-distance when she and Timothy returned to the US in 2020 and Hovanec filed for divorce.

Hovanec was living with her mum Anita Green in Wapakoneta, Ohio, while Timothy was hours away in Virginia, but the devoted dad was determined to see his three children. Unfortunately, Hovanec was making it difficult.

A judge agreed that Timothy was allowed visitation rights, but in December 2021, Hovanec stopped her estranged husband from seeing their children. Timothy filed several motions against Hovanec and travelled from Virginia to Ohio for court proceedings.

Finally, on 22 April 2022, a judge ruled that Timothy must see the children for the next two days, and from 28 May he would become the residential parent and legal custodian for two months over the summer. That weekend, the children stayed with their dad at the hotel where he was staying.

Timothy returned the children to Hovanec’s home on 24 April, but he was reported missing when he failed to check out of the hotel and the staff found all his belongings.

WRESTLED TO THE GROUND

When the police found Timothy’s car abandoned in Dayton, Ohio, they examined the dashcam footage and were shocked at what they saw. It had recorded exactly what had happened to Timothy.
