He also revealed that his stepdaughter—Lisa’s daughter from another relationship—and her friend were also part of the dark scheme. They were the ones who allegedly provided him with the drugs he used to poison the victim.
The daughter wanted to “get mom out of the picture” so they could cash in on her life insurance policy, he claimed.
Court documents revealed that the daughter had also promised to marry him after they “took care of” her mother, as per Alfred’s account of the events.
He said the daughter and her friend would ask him to administer the cocktail of drugs, which included cocaine, MDMA, and benzodiazepines.
“Alfred would then sprinkle some of the white powder in (his wife’s) Coca-Cola can and then wait for her to fall asleep,” read the probable cause affidavit. “(The women) would then come to Alfred’s residence and put more of an unknown substance in (Ruf’s wife’s) drink and have her drink it.”
The plot revolved around poisoning Lisa with a deadly mix of drugs, including cocaine, MDMA, and benzodiazepines, slipped into her Coca-Cola

Once she was out, the daughter and friend would come over to their house and put on a “show” for Alfred. They would sometimes wear his wife’s negligees and perform “sex acts on each other,” official documents said.
