Episode 24 - Fred Neulander: A Good Hitman Is Hard to Find

Around 9:30 p.m. on November 1, 1994, Rabbi Fred Neulander walked into the living room of his Cherry Hill, New Jersey home and discovered his wife, 52-year-old Carol Neulander, lying on the floor. She was badly injured, and the ground around her was covered with blood. Fred called 911, but the woman with whom he had three children wouldn’t live to celebrate their 29th wedding anniversary in only eight weeks’ time. Investigators soon found out about Fred’s long-standing affair, but it would take one of the hitmen Fred had hired coming forward years later to untangle the bloody threads of this murder plot.
