Summary

Jaclyn Diiorio, 26, a hairstylist, and her police officer boyfriend broke up after dating for nearly a year.

The relationship had been contentious, with both filing protective orders. Diiorio began dating again and turned to Tinder.

During conversations with a match, Diiorio said she wanted her ex dead and asked if he could make that happen, noting that her ex was a Philadelphia police officer.

The Tinder date was a police informant and contacted county prosecutors. Detectives alerted Philadelphia police to inform them and the target. Officers interviewed the officer, who said he met Diiorio when she cut his hair.

Authorities arrested Diiorio in Gloucester Township, New Jersey, after her Tinder match reported she offered him $12,000 to kill her ex and his 19-year-old daughter.
