I'm Jennifer Gould. In a chilling act of revenge, a jilted lover allegedly orchestrates a cross country plot to Dows's ex girlfriend with acid. William D. Bernardino of Boyd and Beach, Florida, is accused of paying a couple to travel nine hundred miles to carry out the attack in New Jersey. The victim was immediately airlifted to a burn center, where she remains in critical condition. The acid attack left the woman with burns over thirty five percent of her body, requiring extensive medical treatment. Witnesses described the horrific scene as the victim screamed in pain and sought help from neighbors. Here's neighbor Jim Glinsky talking to ABC six News.

We first I thought it was an animal attacking another animal, and then I thought that sounds like a woman's voice.

Investigators quickly identified the suspect car, a silver or gray vehicle. This led them to Dee Bernardino, who allegedly enlisted Betty Joe Lane thirty eight and Jamar McNeil thirty nine, both of Jacksonville, Florida, to carry out the assault. According to authorities, Deemerdadino had been harboring resentment towards his ex girlfriend for some time and concocted the plan to inflict severe pain and suffering on her. He provided Laine and McNeil with the acid, a rented car, and a detailed instruction on how to carry out the attack. The couple then drove from Florida to New Jersey, carefully planning their route to avoid detection. Then they waited for the victim to arrive home and carried out the attack before taking off from the scene. Witnesses provided descriptions of the car and the attackers, leading to a widespread man hunt. Investigators then face the rented car to a location in Florida. They obtained surveillance video that showed Lane and McNeil returning to the rental car after the attack. The footage also captured the couple's faces, providing crucial evidence in the case. Law enforcement officers in Florida then executed a search warrant at a residence linked to Lane and McNeil. The couple was arrested without incident. Divertadino was also taken into custody at his home in Boyton Beach. All three are being held in Florida awaiting extradition to New Jersey to face charges including conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault, stalking, and weapons charges.

I'm Nicole Parton. In New York. Police have identified the individual whose body they say was discovered dismembered in two different locations, part in the Bronx and part in Yonkers, with neighbors struggling to understand why someone will killed in such a gruesome manner. One woman who wishes to remain anonymous, spoke to NBC eleven, especially, you know, since I have kids and I come viser my mom and to know that she's here by herself too. The NYPD says they discovered severed hands and a leg in a Bronx apartment on Roger's Place that belonged to Ltalo Henderson, a forty six year old resident of the building who lived on the fourth floor. Police say his severed leg was found frozen in a bag in the freezer, while his hands were found in a crock pot filled with bleach. Also found where the victim's teeth that had been removed from his body. The rest of Henderson's body was found charred in a shopping cart under the oak Bridge and Yonkers, about thirteen miles away from his apartment. According to the New York Daily News, the NYPD used surveillance footage to track two people rolling a shopping cart from Henderson's building to the Metro North train around midnight. The rest of his body was transported in that shopping cart and taken under the oak Bridge and set ablaze.
