DENTON (CBS11) - The woman who went undercover to hand her sister over to Denton Police sat down exclusively with CBS 11.

"You don't know the shame that I feel... in so many different ways", she said. "You can't understand."

Thisa "Sam" Robinson said she had to choose… expose her sister's plan to kill her husband, or let him die.

"I said, Jackie, are you serious? Do you want me to kill this man? And she says, absolutely."

Robinson said her sister, Jackie Williams, was separated from her husband Garth, and wanted to cash in on his insurance money. So, Williams started looking for a hitman.

"She sat right there and she says, can these people go in the neighborhood and hit other houses and make it look like home invasions?", Robinson recalled.

It was too much for Robinson to bare. She said she tried to talk her sister out of it, but couldn't. So Robinson went to police.

"I'm not trying to hurt her. That isn't the point", Robinson said. "I'm trying to get her help. I'm trying to get her to realize that it's got to stop."

Police arranged a sting. An undercover officer posed as a hitman. Robinson was arrested after offering him $1,500 and gas money to do the job.

"I could not believe it", Robinson said. "I could not believe, I mean, whenever the man says, just give me 50-dollars for gas money."

Williams is being held on $250,000 bond, and Robinson has almost no money to her name.

She's disabled  and says she has PTSD from Hurricane Ike after being trapped in a collapsed home.

She's on assisted living and she just turned her only sibling over to police.

"I'm totally stranded. And I want to be home. I don't belong here."

She has no car, and no way back to Galveston. Williams was her transportation.

A few people heard her story and started a fund at Chase Bank, to help a woman who gave up everything to do the right thing, get back home.

"I want to go home. That's where I was born. That's where I was raised. I want to die there. I don't want to come up here to try and make another life... and now will this on my back?"
