HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) A divorced couple bitter rift took a twisted turn when a Connecticut woman allegedly tried to hire a hit man to kill her ex husband and only turned more bizarre when she retained custody of their daughter.
For more than a year they had battled over the rights to the 8 year old girl with the winning parent also getting control of what police called a $50 million fund linked to the girl custody before Tiffany Stevens was arrested in July 2012, allegedly for offering a maintenance man $5,000 to kill her ex husband, Eric.
Now, almost two years later, Eric Stevens says he doesn know exactly where his daughter is, just that the woman who tried to have him killed still officially has custody.
"I think it unconscionable," he said.
On Thursday, Eric Stevens filed a complaint with the Statewide Grievance Committee, which handles lawyer discipline cases, against the court appointed guardian ad litem or advocate for his daughter in the custody case, alleging corruption and perjury.

The guardian ad litem, Mary Bergamini, also did not return messages seeking comment.
