 LANCASTER, SC — We’re learning more about a love triangle murder plot stopped by the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office.  WCCB Charlotte got a copy of the incident report that outlines what the suspect is accused of plotting.

Investigators say Joseph Hegler wanted to kill his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend.  They say the 19-year-old planned to put sticks or branches across the victim’s driveway so he could kidnap him.  

Deputies pulled Hegler over after receiving a tip on Sunday.  They say he was wearing rubber gloves and had a number of items in his car, including a skinning knife set.
