California Woman Who Hired Hitman For Husband Murder Found Dead Outside San Diego Bar, Authorities Say
CALIFORNIA — Authorities in San Diego are investigating the death of Tatyana Remley, a 44-year-old California woman previously accused of plotting a murder-for-hire scheme against her husband, after she was found dead outside a popular bar in the city’s Little Italy neighborhood.
Officials say Remley died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound outside the Princess Pub & Grille following a night out in the area. Her death comes months after she was charged in a high-profile case in which she allegedly attempted to hire a hitman to kill her husband, Mark Remley.
Last Known Contact and Events Before Her Death
According to her estranged husband, Mark Remley, she contacted him the night of her death and appeared to be distressed about a man she was with. Mark said Tatyana FaceTimed him from the bathroom of the bar, telling him the man was “being a jerk” and making her uncomfortable.
Mark told investigators he urged her to leave immediately and offered to either send someone to pick her up or call 911 if she felt unsafe. However, he said Tatyana declined, responding, “No, I got this,” before hanging up. That was the last time he heard from her.
Missing Person Report Filed
When Mark was unable to reach her again, he contacted the San Diego Sheriff’s Department the following day and filed a missing person report. A short time later, authorities confirmed that Tatyana had been found deceased outside the bar.
Detectives later determined the cause of death was consistent with suicide by gunshot wound. Officials have not indicated any evidence of foul play in connection with her death.
Background: Alleged Murder-for-Hire Case
Tatyana Remley previously made headlines in California after being arrested and charged for allegedly plotting to hire a hitman to kill her husband, a case that generated widespread attention due to accusations involving large payments and claims of marital conflict.
Her death now closes the criminal investigation into the alleged murder-for-hire plot, though authorities are still completing follow-up reports related to her prior arrest.
Community Reaction and Ongoing Review
The unusual circumstances surrounding her final hours, combined with her involvement in a major criminal case, have led to renewed public interest and concern. The San Diego Sheriff’s Department has not released additional information about the man she reportedly encountered that night or whether he was interviewed as part of the investigation.
Authorities emphasize that the case remains under review, but all current findings indicate that her death resulted from a self-inflicted gunshot wound and that no suspects are being sought. Stay with NapervilleLocal.com for updates on developing national and regional stories.
