April Christine Kauffman, a 47-year-old radio personality and veterans advocate from Linwood, New Jersey, was found shot to death in the bedroom of her home on May 10, 2012. A handyman sent by her husband, Dr. James Kauffman, discovered her body and the investigation was treated as a homicide.

April’s daughter, Kimberly Pack, long suspected her stepfather’s involvement and pressed for answers. In January 2018 investigators announced a major breakthrough that led to multiple arrests. Prosecutors alleged Dr. James Kauffman had arranged a murder-for-hire to stop April from exposing an illegal opioid distribution operation he was running with members of the Pagans Motorcycle Club. Authorities charged James Kauffman and Pagans member Ferdinand Augello, and identified Francis Mullholland as the alleged triggerman; Mullholland was later found dead of a drug overdose.

James Kauffman was later found dead in his jail cell in an apparent suicide; in his note he denied involvement. In October 2018 Ferdinand Augello was convicted of murder and related charges arising from the case, bringing a measure of closure to the family. Does anyone have information about April’s life in Linwood or who might have known about threats against her?
