'She's Getting In The Way:' Why An NYPD Cop Wanted A Girl Dead

A NYPD officer from Oceanside wanted to have her boyfriend's 15-year-old daughter killed because she was "in the way," according to reports.

Valerie Cincinelli was arrested on Friday after she tried to hire a hit man to kill her estranged husband and her boyfriend's 15-year-old daughter, the FBI said.

According to the New York Daily News, when Cincinelli asked her boyfriend -- 54-year-old John DiRubba -- to find a hit man for her in February, he instead went to the FBI. For months, he cooperated with law enforcement, the FBI said, allowing them to record his conversations with Cincinelli and even wearing a recording device when he met with her in person.

“My heart is destroyed," DiRubba said to the Daily News. “I can’t even think straight now. I can’t come to terms that a mother of two, a police officer . . . wanted to harm my daughter."

The New York Post reported that Cincinelli wanted to kill her husband, Isaiah Carvalho, who recently filed for divorce. She also wanted to kill DiRubba's daughter because "she's getting in the way," according to the Post.

Cincinelli allegedly threatened DiRubba last March, the Post reported, shouting at him, "I hope your daughter dies."

A mother of two, Cincinelli had been a member of the NYPD since 2007. She had her badge and gun taken away in 2017 after it was discovered that she was spending on-duty time at DiRubba's home.
