Flickr The Prosecution got wind of Zegerius recruiting fellow inmates to kill Van den Heuvel, reported the newspaper. Detectives sprang into action and confronted Zegerius with his plans, Friday, in his cell. Rob Zegerius was a main suspect in the Yellowstone investigation, in 2010, involving a number of crimes, such as fraud , money laundering, and attempted liquidation. An informant tipped off Van den Heuvel, and served as a crown witness later in the case. Zegerius was convicted, partly due to the information from the witness. The witness then went into a special witness protection program. Van den Heuvel had been discussing the threat information with police and the justice department for a while now, and is pleased the threats were taken seriously, according to the newspaper. The crime reporter did not want to share any details.
