Jaclyn Diiorio, a 26-year-old from Runnemede, New Jersey, was arrested for allegedly attempting to hire a hitman to kill her ex-boyfriend, a Philadelphia police officer, and his teenage daughter.

On April 4, 2025, Diiorio met with an informant, where she allegedly offered $12,000 for the murders and made an initial cash payment of $500.

In August 2024, Diiorio had filed another temporary restraining order against the officer, and his home was vandalized with a Molotov cocktail in September 2024, though it remains unclear if she was involved.

The informant reported the scheme to authorities, prompting the involvement of the Camden County Prosecutor's Office and Philadelphia Police, who were notified on April 3.

Upon her arrest, Gloucester Township police found Diiorio in possession of a bottle containing suspected alprazolam pills, a controlled substance.

The police officer had previously ended his relationship with Diiorio on March 6, 2025, after which she filed a temporary restraining order against him that was later dropped.

The intended victims of the plot are a 53-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman, neither of whom were harmed.

The Philadelphia Police Department is cooperating with the investigation and has praised the efforts of local law enforcement and the Camden County Prosecutor's Office.

Authorities are encouraging anyone with information about the case to contact Detective Ryan Durham or submit anonymous tips.

Diiorio's attorney, Robert Gamburg, was not immediately available for comment regarding the charges.

Authorities did not disclose the duration of Diiorio's separation from her ex-boyfriend or provide a motive for her actions.

A conviction for first-degree attempted murder in New Jersey could result in a prison sentence of 10 to 20 years.
