38-year-old Morena Costello is facing murder for hire charges.
According to court papers, Costello tried to hire a hit man to murder two doctors and nurses at Staten Island University Hospital because she blamed them for her father's death.
Police say she hired who she thought was a hit man last week and gave a $400 down payment.
That man was actually an undercover federal agent.
