The recording is of Earnet Wholaver talking to a DEA agent that he believes is a hitman. Dauphin County District Attorney Fran Chardo, who helped oversee the sting, made sure the agent who posed as a hitman on the phone had a West Virginia accent since the jailhouse informant who told officials of Wholaver's murder-for-hire plot hailed from the state. It made sense his hitman contact would, too.Chardo told PennLive the recordings played at trial, still haunt him because they reveal just how cold-blooded a killer Wholaver was. It’s all there, Chardo said, in the sound of Wholaver’s relieved sigh after arranging the hit. It’s the sound a normal person makes after receiving the best of news. Wholaver released it after setting up yet another murder -- that of his older daughter's ex-boyfriend and father of her baby daughter. Wholaver sought to set him up as the killer, complete with a staged suicide and note confessing to the murders.
