Gloucester Township, NJ – A Runnemede woman has been arrested and charged in a murder-for-hire plot to kill a Philadelphia Police Department officer and his daughter, reported Camden County Prosecutor Grace C. MacAulay and Gloucester Township Police Chief David Harkins.
Jaclyn Diiorio, 26, was charged on April 4, 2025, 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.
On April 3, 2025, the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit was informed of a murder-for-hire plot involving Diiorio. The defendant had communicated to a confidential informant that she wanted to have her ex-boyfriend – a 53-year-old officer with the Philadelphia Police Department – and his 19-year-old daughter killed. Diiorio offered to pay the informant approximately $12,000 to kill both victims.
On April 4, 2025, Diiorio met with the informant on the 1300 block of North Black Horse Pike in Gloucester Township and she provided the informant with $500 in cash. After the money was exchanged, Diiorio was taken into custody by the Gloucester Township Police Department Special Response Team. Diiorio was found to be in possession of a bottle of suspected alprazolam pills.
Diiorio was remanded to the Camden County Correctional Facility, pending a detention hearing on April 9, 2025, in Superior Court.
The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit and Gloucester Township Police Department were also assisted in this investigation by the U.S. Marshals Service New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force – Camden Division.
