The estranged husband of an equestrian accused of plotting to kill him was rushed to a hospital just a day before news of the alleged “murder-for-hire” plan broke — and has not been seen since, according to a report.
Mark Remley, 57, was seen speeding in his black Ferrari to his burned-down $5.3 million mansion in Del Mar, California, last week before rapping on a neighbor’s door and saying he was having a seizure, the Daily Mail said.
“He was highly agitated and looked terrible like he might have been detoxing from something,” an unidentified source told the outlet.
“He said he thought he was having a seizure, so the neighbor immediately rang 911. He was taken away in an ambulance to the hospital.”
Remley left his luxury car behind and “three days later, two of his friends arrived, took the car away, and put chains on the gates of the house,” the source said.
His condition remains unclear and his whereabouts are unknown, but the source told Daily Mail: “Forget him being 57, apparently the guy looked more like 77.”
The bizarre incident came just a few days before it was revealed that Mark’s wife, Tatyana, 42, was arrested for allegedly taking out a $2 million hit on him.
Mark had gone to the police himself after he learned of the alleged plot from the friend his estranged wife bribed to kill him.
Officers then set up a sting operation, in which she agreed to meet with an undercover detective she allegedly hoped to hire to carry out the plot.
She brought along a “down payment” for the murder and three firearms, the local sheriff’s department said in the aftermath.
“She provided detailed information on how she wanted her husband killed and his body disposed of,” the sheriff’s department told the Coast News.
After the arrest, Mark also told cops she burned his house to the ground days before trying to arrange the hit, the outlet said.
The interior of the Rancho Reposo home was destroyed in the July 2 fire.
When law enforcement arrived, they found Tatyana with three guns and ammunition, and she was booked into jail on suspicion of firearm-related charges, authorities said.
The cause of the blaze is still being investigated.
It was just one day later, Daily Mail reports, that the officers learned of Tatyana’s alleged murder-for-hire plot.
She now faces charges for possession of a loaded firearm not registered to her, as well as charges for allegedly soliciting the murder of her husband.
If convicted, Tatyana faces up to nine years in prison for the murder plot, plus another year for the weapons charges.
The incident was just the latest in the couple’s tumultuous 12-year marriage.
Married in 2011, the Remleys made headlines a year later after they organized an elaborate multi-million-dollar, 45-show equestrian acrobatics show called Valitar.
The extravaganza was canceled after just a few performances, however, and its crew and performers were left empty-handed.
Over the years the couple has filed for divorce and rekindled the marriage numerous times, and each has accused the other of committing violence against them.
In their most recent divorce filing in May, Tatyana accused her husband of putting a gun to her head in one incident, chasing her around their house with a knife in another and firing a gun in their home during an argument in a third.
She also alleged she was sexually assaulted at gunpoint by a friend while her husband was present.
Despite their troubles, the pair maintained a lavish lifestyle together, which involved numerous homes, sports cars, boats, travel, exotic pets and considerable monthly expenses, according to documents from their latest divorce filing.
“Some nights, the parties would spend $30,000 in just one night,” a petition seeking spousal support read.
“The parties frequently engaged in high-end shopping and dining, and went on luxury cruises.”
Tatyana’s lawyer argued that she “is experiencing extreme financial strain” now that she’s separated.
“She is unable to maintain her realistic monthly expenses of just $12,000, much less [than] what she was accustomed to at $50,000,” the petition said.
“She has no income and does not have the same access to funds and assets that Respondent does.”
Mark had also experienced a tumultuous relationship with his first wife, Elizabeth, the Daily Mail reports.
That nine-year marriage ended amid an affair Mark was having with the nanny of their two children.
Following the separation, Mark was still living at their six-bedroom, $4.6 million marital home — just three miles from the one he would later share with Tatyana, the outlet said.
