Looking for love?: Tinder says this is the day everyone is swiping right
'The Big Weekend Show' co-hosts discuss Tinder user traffic peaking during 'Dating Sunday.'
A New Jersey woman is accused of hiring a man she met on Tinder to kill her police officer ex-boyfriend and his daughter, according to authorities.
Camden County Prosecutor Grace C. MacAulay charged Jaclyn Diiorio, 26, with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, one count of conspiracy to commit murder and one count of third-degree possession of a controlled dangerous substance in connection with the alleged crime.
Diiorio, of Runnemede, allegedly told a confidential informant she met on Tinder that she wanted her ex, a 53-year-old Philadelphia Police Department officer, and his 19-year-old daughter killed, Gloucester New Jersey Township Police said in a news release.
The informant and Diiorio allegedly exchanged several phone calls and text messages after meeting on the dating app and later in person at a Wawa, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

Diiorio's ex, the police officer, told authorities that he met the 26-year-old woman because she was his barber. He further said they broke up on March 6. In the summer of 2024, Diiori filed a restraining order against the officer that was ultimately dropped, the criminal complaint states.
The officer also told New Jersey authorities that "his home was vandalized by a Molotov cocktail in September 2022," according to the complaint.
