Ooohhh, my bad, I forgot...the couple is African American and not white.
The alleged hired killer (driven to the house by the husband) broke into the house, confronted the wife, but then warned her about the alleged hiring instead of carrying it out. Meanwhile, hubby was on his way to the airport w/ their 3 yr old son to go visit out of state relatives. The "contract"--$2,000 in exchange for the killing.

Mr. Sterling, 38, was arrested last Wednesday in New Mexico on two counts of criminal solicitation of capital murder - one for his 8-months pregnant wife and another for the unborn child. Police said he arranged to have his wife killed while he was away visiting family for the holidays.
Police say the man hired to kill Ms. Sterling had a change of heart and warned her instead. She was unharmed.

But he had been hired, he said, to kill her.
"Your husband wants you murdered," he told the eight-months pregnant woman. Then he told her to call police.
Sterling took an afternoon flight last Tuesday to visit family in Alamogordo, N.M., police said. The same afternoon, his wife arrived to their $405,000 brick home on Padre Circle to find the stranger in the couple's master bedroom.
