In any case, police said Rosebrook hired a hitman to take him out — but instead, that hitman, Daniel C. Ott, went to authorities. While serving a 10-year sentence for conspiracy to commit murder, Rosebrook hired another hitman to kill the hitman who ratted him out, police said. “He moved his furniture up there already,” Ott’s father, Leroy Ott, told the local newspaper. It took six months for law enforcement officers to realize that there was no reason for Daniel Ott to have died that night. That’s where, authorities said, he met South and hired him to kill Daniel Ott.
