Tina Jones, 33, pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree murder in a plea with DuPage County prosecutors.
Jones, who worked as a nurse at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, paid more than $12,000 in bitcoin to have the woman killed. The intended victim was the wife of a man with whom Jones had had an affair, authorities said.
Authorities learned of the murder-for-hire plot via the CBS-TV news program “48 Hours,” which was producing a segment on the dark web and tipped police. Jones was identified as a suspect after police learned she was a co-worker of the intended victim’s husband and may have been motivated to plan such a crime, Assistant State’s Attorney Demetri Demopoulos said at the plea hearing before Judge George Bakalis.
According to the terms of the sentence, Jones must serve 85 percent of the 12-year term. She only had credit for two days in custody. She had been out on bond and living with her parents in Georgia. She did not have any previous criminal history, Berlin said.

Prosecutors said Jones used a dark web browser to conceal her IP address and identity, and log on to a website called the Sicilian Hitmen International Network, and tried to hire someone to kill her lover’s wife.
However, prosecutors said it turned out the website she accessed was a scam, and provided no murder-for-hire services.
She also must pay a $1,000 fine, a $1,000 “anti-crime contribution,” and $7,712 in restitution to the victim.
