1
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: A young emt answered a call to his home that

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: had fatal consequences.

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 2: Matthew Newlander he heard on his radio that a woman

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: was injured a two oh four high gate. There's only

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 2: one woman a two oh four highgate. That's his mother.

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 2: She was unconscious and not breathing. Matthew instantly knew that

7
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: his mother was dead. How did my mom get beaten

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: to death in the living room of her house? Who

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: would ever kill Carol Newlander? They all loved Carol Newlander.

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: The answer would leave Matthew questioning everything and everyone he knew.

11
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: This is such a convoluted, perplexing, disturbing, troubling case, and

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: I wish to God that this had never happened.

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: Today, we're jumping across the country to the Garden State,

14
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Specifically, we're in the suburb of Cherry Hill

15
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: for the tragic story of a mother of three who

16
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: was found beaten to death in her home. This is

17
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 1: a case of who done it that's shocked a community.

18
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: We'll explore from the beginning until the very end, when

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: a panel of twelve jurors had to meet the most

20
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: difficult decision of their lives. I'm slung glass and this

21
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: is part one of Who Killed Carol on American Homicide.

22
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: Just to note that some of this content is graphic,

23
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: Please take care well listening. Consider the town of Cherry Hill,

24
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: New Jersey. It's the perfect spot for people who want

25
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 1: to live close enough yet far enough away from two

26
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: major cities.

27
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 2: Philadelphia to the south, New York City to the north.

28
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: Arthur mcgeita authored a book about one of Cherry Hill's

29
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: most revered and respected couples, Fred and Carol Newlander. The

30
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: two moved there in the nineteen sixties when Fred took

31
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: a job as a junior rabbi.

32
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: He was young, he was up to date. Lots of

33
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: lots of people were happy that Fred and Carol had arrived.

34
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: Only about two percent of Americans practiced Judaism, but with

35
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: a community of over twenty five thousand, Cherry Hill has

36
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: one of the largest Jewish populations in the country, making

37
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: it the perfect place for Rabbi Newlander to start his

38
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: own synagogue.

39
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: In nineteen seventy four, Fred and seventeen eighteen members of

40
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: the earlier Congregation for Micorshalom. Fred shows that term micorshalom

41
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: because it means source of peace.

42
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: And that peaceful Synegague grew to nearly one thousand congregants

43
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: in Cherry Hill, and Rabbi Fred and Carroll Newlander were

44
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: looked at like royalty.

45
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: They were committed to this congregation. They were committed to

46
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: developing something new that had not existed in Cherry Hill before.

47
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: And that's what so many people have found attractive about

48
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: Micorschloam and about Fred and Carol.

49
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: While Rabbi Newlander worked day and night to his congregation,

50
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: his wife Carol raised their three children.

51
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: They were almost like a unit, separate and apart from

52
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: their father because they knew that many evenings their father might,

53
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 2: if they were lucky, be home for dinner.

54
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: And Carol wasn't your typical rabbi's wife. She also ran

55
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: a popular bakery called Classic Cakes.

56
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: This was amazingly successful. It was perhaps the finest bakery

57
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: in South Jersey. Members of the congregation came there, of.

58
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: Course, everyone came for their red velvet cupcakes, breakfast pastries,

59
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: and assortment of elaborate cakes.

60
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: It was also very very profitable, but she was very,

61
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: very careless with some of the money that was coming

62
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: into the bakery. She would just stuff it into her

63
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: purse and come home at night with five thousand, ten

64
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: thoy fifteen thousand dollars in cash.

65
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: All that cash played into Carrol's demy.

66
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: On November first, nineteen ninety four, Fred put in his

67
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: usual work day at Macoorsechalon.

68
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: And on that afternoon, Carol had volunteered with pediatric AIDS

69
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: patients and returned home while her husband was still at

70
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: the synagogue.

71
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: About nine o'clock he went back home. He opened the door,

72
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: glanced into the living room on his right, Sure Carol

73
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 2: Nolander lying on the floor of the living room in

74
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: a pool of blood.

75
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: Just imagine the scene. Fred found Carol face down and

76
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: badly beaten. It was horrific. This was his wife. Her

77
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: blood was everywhere. So he ran to the kitchen, grabbed

78
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: his cordless landline phone and called nine on one.

79
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: I want one STAFY emergency.

80
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: I just came home.

81
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: My wife had on the floor and they'd fulln all over.

82
00:04:59,160 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 4: I don't know what to do it.

83
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: How does she appear to be breathing? They asked if

84
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: she was alive. He said he didn't know. I don't

85
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: wanted to say to her.

86
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 3: Should I not touch her?

87
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: Just leave everything away it is here and stay on

88
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: the phone with me until the first police officer getshured.

89
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: That's when the rabbi remembered his son, Matthew was working

90
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: as an emt that evening.

91
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 3: Cool, so I had to send somebody down, Sir, calm down,

92
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: hold on a second.

93
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: Tragically, Matthew Newlander did hear that call and quickly drove

94
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: his ambulance to his house, nearly colliding with another emergency

95
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: vehicle when he arrived. But before he got inside to

96
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: see his mother, a friend grabbed him and carried him

97
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: away from the house.

98
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: Matthew instantly knew that his mother was dead, because if

99
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 2: she was not, somebody would have said something comforting to him.

100
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 2: Don't worry, she's barely injured. Don't worry, she's being treated

101
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: right now. Nobody said anything like that.

102
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: That's when his dad, Rabbi Fred Newlander, walked up to him.

103
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: He was still holding his cord, was still aphone, wasn't

104
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: using it, wasn't talking to anybody, but his manner was

105
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: completely composed.

106
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: The Rabbi was still dressed in his tailored suit. He

107
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: wore a temple. He was in shock. He stood on

108
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: the driveway with their two story home, listening as Matthew

109
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: frantically asked him question after question about his mother. Each

110
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: time the Rabbi offered the same answer.

111
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: Don't worry, everything will be fine. He was always buttoned up,

112
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 2: and he was buttoned up November one, nineteen ninety four,

113
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: when he saw Carol lying in the living room, when

114
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: he called nine one one, when he did his version

115
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: of trying to comfort his son Matthew.

116
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: By then all of Highgate Lane and Cherry Hill was

117
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: a dizzy sea of red and white from the lights

118
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: of the emergency vehicles parked in front of the Newlanders.

119
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 3: My name is Richard Bumber. November one, nineteen ninety four.

120
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 3: I was working as a patrolman for the Cherry Hill

121
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,239
Speaker 3: Police Department.

122
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: Officer Bumbar was one of the first responders that night.

123
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 3: It's a middle upper middle class community, beautiful homes. It's

124
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: the type of community where everyone had their law and nice,

125
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 3: everyone knew each other. Neighbors were very close and very friendly.

126
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 3: So when I walked up the driveway of the residence,

127
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: I noticed a man dressed in his suit, probably in

128
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 3: his fifties or so.

129
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: That man was, of course, Rabbi Fred Newlander.

130
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 3: He had a portable phone in his hand, and immediately

131
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: I asked him what was going on. He raised his

132
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 3: left hand and pointed with the phone, said she's in there,

133
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh, okay. So I entered the

134
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: house and immediately noticed Carol laying on the floor in

135
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 3: the room right to my right. It was a white room,

136
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 3: didn't look like it was a room that was used

137
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 3: or used commonly. White carpets, white furniture, white walls, and

138
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 3: there was just this bright red blood spattered everywhere in

139
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: that room. When I examined the body, I noticed that

140
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: there were several indentations to her skull, her fingers were

141
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 3: all broken back and opened from defensive wounds. There was

142
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 3: a tremendous amount of pulled blood. She was cold. It

143
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 3: was obvious to me that somebody had bludgeontered to death,

144
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 3: like repeated strikes to her head.

145
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: So now the complicated work of trying to figure out

146
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: what happened began. There was no sign of force entry

147
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: and no other victims in the house. Just Carol.

148
00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 3: Carol Newlander. She was business partners and very prominent bakery

149
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 3: and she got into the habit of taking the till

150
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 3: home where there was a significant amount of money ten

151
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 3: fifteen thousand dollars.

152
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: The police wondered if someone was after Carol's money, why

153
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: did they leave other valuables behind, and how did they

154
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: get into the house.

155
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: They had a lot of expensive items in the house.

156
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 3: None of it was gone through. Dressers weren't gone through

157
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 3: looking for money or jewelry. Everything was neat and tidy.

158
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 3: So the idea of that it was a robbery or

159
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: a home invasion that went bad didn't seem to line

160
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: up for what I saw.

161
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: It wasn't like the police saw many homicides in Cherry Hill.

162
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: This was the first homicide in two years, and it

163
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: involved the beloved wife of Rabbi Fred Newlantern.

164
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 3: The mayor's pulling off, and there's a lot of people

165
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 3: showing up at that house. That just seemed like, Wow,

166
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: this person certainly wasn't just an average citizen.

167
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: So the question on everyone's mind that night was why.

168
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 3: There weren't any suspects. There weren't any leads, so the

169
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 3: community just thought it was a random act of violence.

170
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: So no one could believe Carol Newlander, successful small business owner,

171
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: mother of three, who just spent her day volunteering with

172
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: pediatric AIDS patients, had been robbed and beaten to death.

173
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 3: Not only are we dealing with a homicide of a

174
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 3: prominent family in Cherry Hill, but Carol's son, Matthew, was

175
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: working as an EMT that night and he was responding

176
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: to the house.

177
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: Matthew was a young EMT who just wanted to be

178
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: with his mother to say goodbye, but heartbreakingly, protocol.

179
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: Did allow it.

180
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 3: And that was that was difficult. It was unfortunate. I

181
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 3: would have wanted to say goodbye to my mom, you know.

182
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 3: And that's a situation and it's difficult. It's a part

183
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 3: of the job, unfortunately, and you know, you have to

184
00:10:59,280 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: deal with it.

185
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: His mother was dead and the lives of the Newlander

186
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: family would never be the same again.

187
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: They were an all American family in a sense. It

188
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 3: had everything and now they have nothing. Now it's a shame.

189
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: On a cold night in November nineteen ninety four, Carol

190
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: Newlander was murdered in her Cherry Hill, New Jersey home.

191
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,119
Speaker 1: She was a mother of three who ran a successful

192
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: bakery business and was the wife of South Jersey's most

193
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: prominent Rabbi, Fred Newlander.

194
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: People are sympathizing with Fred and whispering words of consolation

195
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: in his ear.

196
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: Arthur Macgida wrote a book about Carol Newlander's murder.

197
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 2: Carol's funeral was one of the largest in South Jersey.

198
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: Dignitaries came, politicians came.

199
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: As part of the Jewish tradition, people offer their condolences

200
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: to the rabbi by saying, may her memory be a

201
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: blessing to you.

202
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: And then they whispered among each other, who would ever

203
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: kill Carol Newlander? They all loved Carol Neulander, and everybody

204
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: is sad, and still Fred Neulander is showing virtually no emotion.

205
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: There is a Jewish tradition called Shibba. It's the week

206
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: long period of mourning after a death. During Shiva, your friends, family,

207
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: and neighbors come by and take care of you. They

208
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: bring you food, provide you comfort, and run your errands

209
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: so you can mourn.

210
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: How he comported himself that evening and in some of

211
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: the days that followed, very much flowed from his experience

212
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: as a rabbi. Fred Neulander dealt with death and birth

213
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 2: over and over again. In the course of his professor.

214
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 2: He was in to some degree acculturated to death, not

215
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: to murder, but to.

216
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: Death by the time they were sitting Shiva for Carol Newlander,

217
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: Cherry Hill police officers had already questioned Fred Newlander and

218
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: two of his children, Rebecca and Matthew. If you remember,

219
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: Matthew was one of the EMTs who came to the

220
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: house on the night of his mother's murder.

221
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: Matthew told the police about a very, very severe argument

222
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 2: that he witnessed between his parents two days before Carol

223
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 2: was killed, Carol telling Matthew that Fred didn't want to

224
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: work on this marriage any longer, that Fred wanted to

225
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 2: divorce Carol. And Matthew told the police that Carol had

226
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 2: then dashed down to the basement, grabbed some suitcases and

227
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: threw them at Fred Newlander told him to get out.

228
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: But Rabbi Newlander gave to detectives a different take.

229
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 2: He said it was just honky dorry. Everything was fine. Yeah,

230
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 2: they had their little bickerings occasionally, whose turn is it

231
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: to clean out the dishwasher? But theirs was a rock

232
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: solid marriage.

233
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: So there was something else. The police began to focus on.

234
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: The Newlander's daughter, Rebecca lived out of town and talked

235
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: with her mom every day. She told the police about

236
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: two strange conversations she had with her mother. The first

237
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: happened two weeks before Carol's murder.

238
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: Carol pulled up to her driveway after working late at

239
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 2: Classic Cakes when a total stranger tapped on her window,

240
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: rolled the window down, said that the Rabbi had sent

241
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: him over to deliver some mail, and he handed Carol

242
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: an ovelope and then he asked if he could use

243
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: the bathroom. Carol said, of course, and she led him

244
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: into the house use the bathroom. He left, and shortly

245
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: after that, Carol's daughter Rebecca called. She said, Mom, what

246
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: are you doing tonight?

247
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: Oh?

248
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 2: I just got home. Somebody came to see Daddy. He

249
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 2: isn't there, but he gave me something male that Daddy

250
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: had been waiting for. And Carol told Rebecca, What's the

251
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: strange thing is that I opened this envelope but wasn't

252
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: sealed and there wasn't anything in it. Well, neither Caroll

253
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: nor Rebecca knew what to make of that.

254
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: It was pretty weird, and two weeks later, on the

255
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: day of Carol's murder, they were on the phone again

256
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: when the mysterious man returned.

257
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: Carol opens the door and Rebecca wants to know who

258
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: it is, and she says, oh, that's the bathroom man

259
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: from last week. Rebecca says, well, what does he want?

260
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: Says oh, Dad told him to come over, and Carol

261
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: looks out. She sees that the bathroom man is with

262
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: somebody else. It's cold. She encourages both of them to

263
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 2: come in be warm. Rebecca's very concerned that her mother

264
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: is inviting these two essentials strangers into the house. Carol says,

265
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: there's nothing to worry about. The door is closed, and

266
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 2: that was the last that anyone in Carroll's family heard

267
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: from her.

268
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: Detectives asked Rabbi Newlander if he knew who this mysterious

269
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: visitor was.

270
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 2: He claimed to have no idea what the police were

271
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: talking about. He had never sent anybody over to the

272
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: house with a message for him. He had never told

273
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,119
Speaker 2: Carol that somebody would be coming either of those evenings.

274
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: Detectives came to believe the bathroom man and his accomplice

275
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: knew the rabbi schedule and had been casing the house

276
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: in order to rob and murder Carol.

277
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: Fred very soon was telling people the Colombians did this

278
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 2: to Carol. The Colombians who worked at Classic Cakes and

279
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 2: knew that Carol came home with loads of cash that

280
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 2: never panned out. There were rumors that the Russian Jewish

281
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 2: mafia was behind this, so there was theory after theory

282
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 2: after theory.

283
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: Rabbi Newlander told detectives he was at Micorsia Lome when

284
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: Carol was murdered. They interviewed a dozen or so people

285
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: at the synagogue and his alibi checked out.

286
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: Yes, he was at the temple in fact, the moment

287
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: that Carol was killed, and that's why when he came

288
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 2: back home the blood in the living room was still very,

289
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 2: very fresh.

290
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: This put detectives back at square one. So the weeks

291
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: dragged on without any updates about the investigation, until finally,

292
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: just a couple of days before the Christmas holiday, the

293
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: police called a press conference, but the new Landers were

294
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: nowhere to be found. One reporter asked the prosecutor if

295
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: Rabbi Newlander was considered a suspect. He paused for a

296
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: moment and said, we don't rule in, we don't rule out.

297
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 2: They didn't know what to make of that.

298
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: Well, Rabbi Newlander did. He was furious he had an

299
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: alibi and questioned why the police hadn't cleared him, so

300
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: he hired a PI named len Jenoff with an impressive

301
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: resume that included a stint with the FBI, and Cia.

302
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: Jenof seemed like the right person to turn to.

303
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: Rabbi Newlander knew len Jenoff, he met him a couple

304
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,479
Speaker 1: of years earlier and helped him turn his life around.

305
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: Leonard Jenoff was a difficult person to define.

306
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: Back in the nineteen eighties, len Jenoff accidentally struck and

307
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: killed someone who was pushing their stalled vehicle on the highway.

308
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: Although Jenoff was never charged, he fell into a deep

309
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: depression and turned to booze. Years later, he was introduced

310
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 1: to Rabbi Newlander, who offered to help him and get

311
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: back on his feet.

312
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 2: Len Jenoff left Fred Newlander's office that day, fully committed

313
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 2: to doing almost anything that Fred wanted him to do,

314
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 2: because he saw the Rabbi as his savior, as the

315
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 2: next best thing to his Messiah.

316
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: So now you had the police and a very motivated

317
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: len Jenoff working to find Carol Newlander's killer. Those investigations

318
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: would uncover secrets that would shake Cherry Hill to its soul.

319
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: Rabbi Fred Newlander had a rock solid alibi on the

320
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: night of his wife Carol's murder, So why didn't the

321
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: police rule him out as a suspect.

322
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 2: For years there were rumors that Fred was a little

323
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: bit too much of a lady's man.

324
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: Arthur mcgeita wrote a book about the Newlanders.

325
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: He made a habit of going from woman to woman

326
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 2: to woman and touching her and giving them compliments. And

327
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: they always just happened to be the prettiest woman in

328
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 2: the congregation that evening.

329
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: So it turned out the leader of the community was

330
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: not so pious. And back in nineteen ninety two, one

331
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: particular woman called Rabbi Fred Newlander's eye. Don't let the

332
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: broadcasters see that I have all this makeup over here.

333
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 2: It's filming it for convention.

334
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 3: When is the convention?

335
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: September? Oh, thanks a lot, here, let me hide my mirror.

336
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: Elaine Sensini was a prominent radio personality in Philadelphia, and

337
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: so was her husband, Ken Garland. Elaine met Rabbi Newlander

338
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: when her husband Ken was dying of leukemia, and.

339
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 2: A day or two after that, Fred Newlander called Ewaine

340
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: Suncini asked how she was. She said, I'm fine, I'm coping.

341
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: Fred asked if he could come over to her house.

342
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: She agreed. They had lunch together. He asked if he

343
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 2: could return soon, She said he couldn't, and they engaged

344
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 2: in what the police would soon called intimacy.

345
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: He moves in on a widow a couple days after

346
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: her husband's death, and then despite Rabbi Newlander's eighteen hour

347
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: work day and Elaine's early morning radio schedule, the two

348
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: managed to carry on an affair for nearly two years.

349
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 2: They would meet at Olaine's house two, three, four times

350
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 2: a week. Fred often towed her that she satisfied him

351
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 2: sexually in a way that Carol never did. He alluded

352
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 2: to the possibility that he might get divorced from Carol furrowing,

353
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: but sometimes he would hedge on that because he wasn't

354
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 2: certain how that would affect his career.

355
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: So with all this secrecy, how did detectives learn about Elaine. Well,

356
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: they obtained a copy of Rabbi Newlander's phone records, and

357
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: something in those phone records from the morning after Carol's

358
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: murder stood out.

359
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 2: One of the first people Fred called was Awayne Sonciney.

360
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 2: Why would he possibly do that?

361
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: Detectives questioned Elaine, and they shared some information. She did

362
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: not know about Fred Newland.

363
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 2: She's not the only girlfriend that Fred hadn't and they

364
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 2: named the others one, two, three, and perhaps four.

365
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: Elaine was shocked and pissed, and that's when the gloves

366
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: came off.

367
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 2: She tells the police they've had a long standing romance.

368
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 2: When she returns home that night, she calls Fred. It

369
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 2: says Fred I told the police everything. You're on your.

370
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: Own noun news of Rabbi Newlander's affairs Rock Cherry Hill

371
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: and mccorchelone. These were women he had been counseling.

372
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 2: How could Fred Newlander, the stalwart of the community, the

373
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 2: founder of Macorse alone, this charismatic, well educated, enlightened individual

374
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 2: who had this wonderful family and terrific wife, be playing

375
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 2: around on the side. Who could possibly have time to

376
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 2: do that anyway? Seems that Fred Newlander didn't.

377
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: Fred admitted to behaviors he was not proud of and

378
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: stepped away from m course alone. In his letter to

379
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: his congregants, Ye added that he had nothing to do

380
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: with his wife's death. It was the same message he

381
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: gave Elaine Sensini in the days after Carol's murder. Being

382
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: an adulter didn't make him a murderer.

383
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 2: Fred invited Elaine into his office at the temple and

384
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 2: said he loves her, said he wanted to marry her

385
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: when the time would be appropriate.

386
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: The police didn't confirm or denial ing as a suspecting

387
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: Carol Newlander's murder. It was much like the situation with

388
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: the rabbi.

389
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 4: After one's spouse he is murdered, the surviving spouse always

390
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 4: becomes the first suspect.

391
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: Attorney Jeff Zucker represented Rabbi Newlander. His client had a

392
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: lot of explaining to do. Here's Jeff Zucker.

393
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 4: And once things started to come out about the affairs

394
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 4: that he had, and the fact that the affairs involved

395
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 4: congregants that he was counseling, then I think the tide

396
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 4: started to change.

397
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: And as you can imagine, the local press was having

398
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: a field day with stories of the adulterous man of God.

399
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 4: We thought the media attention was so horribly profuse and

400
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 4: horribly against him.

401
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: As reporters hounded the Rabbi and Elaine sin Seemi for comment,

402
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: Elaine asked the Cherry Hill Police Department for protection. Two

403
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: officers were then dispatched to keep an eye on her.

404
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 4: The interesting thing about Elaine Suncini is that she also

405
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 4: had an involvement with one of the police officers in

406
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 4: this case, Larry Leaf.

407
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: Okay, so get this. Larry Leaf was one of the

408
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: officers assigned to watch her, and in another twist to

409
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 1: this story, Elaynin Officer Leif became romantically involved and that

410
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: created a serious conflict of interest, especially when he was

411
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 1: caught rummaging through police files related to the case.

412
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 4: We believe that Larry Leaf gave her access to certain

413
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 4: of the investigative files in the cherryhol Police Department. Elaine

414
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 4: Soncceni she incidentally ended up marrying Larry Leaf.

415
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: So internal affairs investigated Officer Leaf and later cleared him

416
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: of any wrongdoing.

417
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 4: That was another strange twist in this whole case. This

418
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 4: is one of the most bizarre cases I've been involved

419
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 4: in in my forty five years of legal experience.

420
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: With reporters constantly hounding her. Elaine Sansini used her radio

421
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: show to come clean about her affair with Rabbi Newland

422
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: in the summer of nineteen ninety five. She tearfully apologized

423
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: on the air for what she called some errors in judgment.

424
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 3: Sonny Now in seventy eight degrees. I apologize to you

425
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 3: for these guys.

426
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: But lost in the juicy stories of love, lust and

427
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: adultery were the Newlander children.

428
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 4: I felt bad for the family I did. I felt

429
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 4: bad for the kids.

430
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: Their mother's murder was still unsolved, and the only thing

431
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: they're hearing is story after story of their father's infidelity.

432
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 4: Every day something else would come out in the local papers.

433
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 4: Because of the horrible negative publicity he was getting, we

434
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 4: thought it was time for him to speak out to

435
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 4: say I had nothing to do with this. So we

436
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 4: called in the local television stations let him read a

437
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 4: prepared statement.

438
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 2: I categorically deny that I murdered my wife or arranged

439
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: in any way to have her killed.

440
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 4: It was brief, but we thought it would be good

441
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 4: for the public to hear him speak and to have

442
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 4: him deny the charges.

443
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: The town of Cherry Hill struggled with their beloved rabbis

444
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: meteoric fall from grace. First they had to process news

445
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: of his affairs, and now there are rumbles about him

446
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: also being a murderer.

447
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 4: A person who is having an affair maybe morally at fault,

448
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 4: but it's a huge jump from someone having an affair

449
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 4: to become a murderer.

450
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: And it didn't help that the police remained mum about

451
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: potential suspects and shared very little about their investigation.

452
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 4: They were looking into Leeds for years and he came

453
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 4: up with a bunch of dead ends.

454
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: At the same time, the rabbi's private investigator, len Jenoff,

455
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: used his FBI and CIA background to do his own research.

456
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 4: He one time came into our office with a sketch

457
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 4: of what he said was a composite drawing of who

458
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 4: the person who killed Carol Newlander would be. And we

459
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 4: told the Rabbi, please, have nothing more to do with

460
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 4: len Jenoff. He's a wild card. He's running up all

461
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 4: kinds of blind alleys and making no sense. If you're

462
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 4: going to continue working with this guy, we can't represent

463
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 4: you anymore.

464
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 2: You can't do it.

465
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: That's because around that time some bizarre news about len

466
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: Jenoff surfaced.

467
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 4: Len got married and asked the Rabbi to perform the

468
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 4: ceremony at the Rabbi's home, and.

469
00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 3: Their wedding pictures of them arm in arm holding each other.

470
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: That seems nice, But when the police looked closely at

471
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: these pictures of the Rabbi with lenn On his wedding day,

472
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: they noticed something shocking, like.

473
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 3: Oh my god. They took the pictures right where Carol

474
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 3: was laying and.

475
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 2: She was murdered.

476
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,719
Speaker 4: The ceremony was performed at the exact spot where they

477
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 4: found Carol Newlander's body. It's bizarre, but that's that's where

478
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 4: it was. Which was also another very strange twist.

479
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 2: In this whole case.

480
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: If a picture is worth a thousand words, well that

481
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: scene doesn't work here, because this one left the police speechless.

482
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 4: It was hard for me to believe that this really

483
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 4: could have happened.

484
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: That was the first twist of many to come. In

485
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: part two of Who Killed Carol, the police get an

486
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: unexpected confession from someone no one suspected. I'm Smoan Glass.
