On the evening of July 19, 2020, 20-year-old Daniel Anderl answered the front door of his family home in North Brunswick, New Jersey, to a man posing as a FedEx driver. Daniel, the only child of federal Judge Esther Salas and criminal defense attorney Mark Anderl, was fatally shot in the chest when he opened the door. His father Mark was shot multiple times and critically injured as he came to the door; Judge Salas was in the basement and was not harmed. Daniel had recently celebrated his birthday and was a student at The Catholic University of America.

The gunman fled the scene, and the FBI and U.S. Marshals Service took over the investigation. The next day the primary suspect, identified as 72-year-old attorney Roy Den Hollander, was found dead in the Catskills of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A package addressed to Judge Salas and a list of other potential targets were found in Den Hollander’s car. His online writings showed misogynistic and racist views and named Judge Salas, whom he had faced in court over a male-only military draft challenge. Authorities also linked him to another recent killing in California that involved a similar delivery-driver ruse. No arrest was made in Daniel’s death because the lone suspect died by suicide.

Does anyone have memories of Daniel or information about that night that could add detail to the timeline?
