An NYPD officer from Oceanside accused in an elaborate murder-for-hire plot to kill a child and her estranged husband was ordered held without bail.

According to court documents, 34-year-old Valerie Cincinelli asked her boyfriend to hire a hitman to kill her estranged husband, and the boyfriend's own daughter.

Federal prosecutors say Cincinelli withdrew $7,000 to pay the hitman.
