00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: jilted lover allegedly orchestrates a cross country plot to Dows's

42
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend with acid. William D. Bernardino of Boyd and Beach, Florida,

43
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: is accused of paying a couple to travel nine hundred

44
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: miles to carry out the attack in New Jersey. The

45
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: victim was immediately airlifted to a burn center, where she

46
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: remains in critical condition. The acid attack left the woman

47
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: with burns over thirty five percent of her body, requiring

48
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,239

49
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: victim screamed in pain and sought help from neighbors. Here's

50
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: neighbor Jim Glinsky talking to ABC six News.

51
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: We first I thought it was an animal attacking another animal,

52
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: and then I thought that sounds like a woman's voice.

53
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: Investigators quickly identified the suspect car, a silver or gray vehicle.

54
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: This led them to Dee Bernardino, who allegedly enlisted Betty

55
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: Joe Lane thirty eight and Jamar McNeil thirty nine, both

56
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: of Jacksonville, Florida, to carry out the assault. According to authorities,

57
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: Deemerdadino had been harboring resentment towards his ex girlfriend for

58
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: some time and concocted the plan to inflict severe pain

59
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: and suffering on her. He provided Laine and McNeil with

60
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: the acid, a rented car, and a detailed instruction on

61
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: how to carry out the attack. The couple then drove

62
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: from Florida to New Jersey, carefully planning their route to

63
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: avoid detection. Then they waited for the victim to arrive

64
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: home and carried out the attack before taking off from

65
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: the scene. Witnesses provided descriptions of the car and the attackers,

66
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: leading to a widespread man hunt. Investigators then face the

67
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: rented car to a location in Florida. They obtained surveillance

68
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: video that showed Lane and McNeil returning to the rental

69
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: car after the attack. The footage also captured the couple's faces,

70
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: providing crucial evidence in the case. Law enforcement officers in

71
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: Florida then executed a search warrant at a residence linked

72
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: to Lane and McNeil. The couple was arrested without incident.

73
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: Divertadino was also taken into custody at his home in

74
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,880
