Cincinelli, a 34-year-year mom of two, hatched the scheme in February, when she asked her unidentified boyfriend to hire a hitman, court papers say.
But the boyfriend told the FBI and began working as a confidential source, including by letting the feds record his phone calls with Cincinelli and wearing a recording device when they met in person, documents state.
As part of the plot, Cincinelli allegedly withdrew $7,000 from a TD Bank branch around Feb. 18 and gave it to her boyfriend, who then used the money to buy 5 ounces of gold coins to purportedly pay the hitman.
At one point, Cincinelli was recorded allegedly asking her boyfriend, “Did you do it yet?”, according to a law-enforcement source familiar with the case.

The boyfriend also said the hitman had located his daughter in New Jersey but “did not want to carry out the murder near a school,” court papers say.
“Run her the f–k over, how about that,” Cincinelli allegedly responded.
At one point, Cincinelli asked her boyfriend why he “could not carry the murders him/herself,” the court documents said.
On May 8, the boyfriend told Cincinelli that the killings were going to take place that weekend, the papers said.
Cincinella, saying she was worried howoyfriend “to have the hitman kill [the teen] over the weekend and then wait a week or a month to kill” her husband, the documents said.
A review of the boyfriend’s cell phone and text messages between the him and Cincinelli confirms that they communicated using cell phones multiple times between about February 2019 and the present in furtherance of this murder-for-hire plot, some of which calls and texts were made to or from Oceanside, New York, according to the complaint.

On Friday morning, a Suffolk County detective who was working with the feds went to Cincinelli’s home in Oceanside and falsely told her that her estranged husband, Isaiah Carvalho Jr., was dead, court papers say.
Cincinelli cried “fake tears” during the meeting, a source said.
After the cop left, the boyfriend, who was also there, recorded Cincinelli discussing “what her alibi would be if she were to be questioned by the police,” court papers say.
After the detective left the home, Cincinelli allegedly began to discuss her alibi.
He also showed her a text message from the feds that he claimed came from the hitman, which included a staged photograph of her estranged husband “appearing dead in his car,” court papers say.
The fake text sent by the FBI agent, posing as the hitman, to the boyfriend, included a demand for an additional $3,000 to kill Jane Doe, the memo said. In response, Cincinelli allegedly instructed her boyfriend to delete the text messages and photographs, citing her fear that law enforcement could subpoena the phone.
Cincinelli was arrested at her home a short time later and charged with use of interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire, which carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence.
Prosecutors didn’t divulge a motive for why Cincinelli allegedly wanted to eliminate Carvalho, 32.
Cincinelli’s father said, ‘It’s not her!’
