The Rabbi's Wife

Carol Nuelander was a mother, a wife and a pillar of her Cherry Hill community. In November 1994, she was beaten to death in her own home. The man who hired the killers was her husband — Rabbi Fred Nuelander, founder of one of New Jersey's most prominent synagogues.This is not a story about Fred. It is Carol's story.In this episode, we open the full case file. We walk through the night of the murder, the investigation that followed, the years it took to unravel Fred's double life, and the moment Leonard Jenoff walked into a church and confessed everything. We look at what the evidence showed, what the community refused to believe and what Carol's own children had to live through to get justice for their mother.Carol Nuelander deserved better than the story she got. This episode gives her the one she should have had.
