Two Marion men are charged with felony crimes in what court documents allege was a murder-for-hire plot.

Bo Cook, 25, and Raymond D. Bertuzzi, 28, both are facing charges in connection with the fatal shooting of 30-year-old Amy Lynn Aldrich.

Marion officers and paramedics found Aldrich dead in a Bartram Avenue home at about 5:22 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 8.

Cook, the father of Aldrich's youngest daughter, was taken into custody on unrelated charges the same night. He later posted bail and was released.

After interviews and investigations, Marion detectives contacted the county prosecutor to get arrest and search warrants.

Marion police and two patrol troopers served search warrants at 166 Plymouth St. and 148 Plymouth St. at about 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15.

Cook was taken into custody during the search of 166 Plymouth St.

Marion police said a number of firearms were recovered from both residences.

Officers continued to search for Bertuzzi and found him and another person in a pickup at about 10:45 p.m. in the area of Polk and Van Buren streets.

Officers pulled over the pickup, and the two ran. Officers stopped the passenger, Joshua Thaw.

Bertuzzi didn't listen to officers' orders to stop so K-9 Officer Bosco was released, Marion police said. Bosco apprehended Bertuzzi.

Bertuzzi went to Marion General Hospital because Bosco bit him on the arm. After treatment, he was taken to the Multi-County Correctional Center.

A felony complaint filed in the Marion County municipal court Wednesday charges Bertuzzi with one count of aggravated murder.

An affidavit in support of the arrest warrant alleges Bertuzzi "caused the death of Amy Aldrich [sic] with prior calculation and design ... during an aggravated burglary."

A felony complaint filed in the Marion County municipal court Wednesday charges Cook with two counts of complicity to aggravated murder.

An affidavit in support of the arrest warrant alleges Cook "solicited or procure Raymond Bertuzzi to cause the death of Amy Aldrich[sic] with prior calculation design."

Cook also is being held at the Multi-County Correctional Center.

Municipal Judge Theresa Ballinger set both Cook and Bertuzzi's bond at $2 million (cash or surety) during their Thursday morning arraignments.

Aldrich had been living at her mother's home in Paulding County. Her mother said the news has been heartbreaking.

"My daughter, the last words she said to me was, 'I love you Mom.' I will keep those words. They won't haunt me, will comfort me," Margaret Reed said.

Much of the focus now shifts to Amy's 4-year-old daughter.

"It is starting to sink into her soul, I'm not going to see my Mommy again, and my Daddy is the one who did it," Reed said.

Reed told NBC4 that she told investigators she thought Bo Cook might be involved.

"In my heart, yes. I told the detectives, they asked me that question, 'Why do you think it is Mr. Cook?' I said, 'Because he has threatened her before,'" Cook said.

As for if someone else might have been involved, Reed said she thought it was indeed possible.

"I said, 'If Bo didn't do it then he hired someone. He is involved. His hands are dirty," Reed said.

Aldrich was in Marion the evening she was killed for a child support and custody hearing with Cook the next day, family said. She was at her cousin's Bartram Avenue home when she was shot.

Aldrich had a civil protection order filed against Cook in Marion Family Court Division on Dec. 3, 2010.

In it Aldrich said, " ... on Nov. 26, 2010, Bo pointed a revolver from an upstairs window towards my face, and he said, 'Get the f@#$ off my porch or I will shoot you.' "

Court Magistrate David Reed said Aldrich terminated that civil protection order against Cook on Nov. 22, 2011, because she testified in court they were trying to reconcile.

Thaw (the passenger who was with Bertuzzi) was arrested on a failure to appear warrant and also transported to the Multi-County Correctional Center.

Court records indicate Bertuzzi was released from Toledo Correctional Friday, Dec. 23, 2011, and still is under supervision. He served a three-year sentence out of Marion County on undetermined charges.

Funeral arraignments are set for Friday with visitation from 11 a.m. until noon and the service starting right after.

The service will be at the Calvary Baptist Church in Marion.
