Woman allegedly tried to hire someone she met on Tinder to kill her police officer ex and his daughter

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, N.J. (TCN) -- A 26-year-old woman faces charges after allegedly trying to hire someone to kill her 53-year-old ex-boyfriend and his 19-year-old daughter.

On April 3, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office first learned about the possible murder-for-hire plot orchestrated by Jaclyn Diiorio. According to a criminal complaint obtained by WCAU-TV, Diiorio met a confidential informant on Tinder and offered to pay him $12,000 to kill her ex — a police officer with the Philadelphia Police Department — and his teen daughter.

Diiorio allegedly said she'd pay the informant $500 up front to carry out the slayings, and then she planned to provide the rest in installments. On April 4, Diiorio reportedly met with the informant and gave him the $500 advance. Gloucester Township Police then took her into custody. Prosecutors noted that she was also in possession of a bottle of suspected alprazolam pills.

Diiorio’s ex-boyfriend reportedly told New Jersey detectives that he and the suspect broke off their relationship on March 6.

Prosecutors announced that they charged Diiorio with two counts of first-degree attempted murder, one count of first-degree conspiracy to commit murder, and one count of third-degree possession of a controlled dangerous substance. Diiorio was booked into the Camden County Correctional Facility and is scheduled for a detention hearing on April 9.
