Starting point is 00:02:28 So buckle up. I have no idea what this case is about But I'm ready our sources for this episode our CNN oxygen paramount express USA Today La Times comm daily news comm people 6abc comm Sb Sun comm New York Post.com daily breeze.com and CBS News. Do you ever stop to think about how many strangers we come into contact with every single day? Whether that's passing someone in the grocery store, running next to them on the treadmill at the gym, sitting next to them at a restaurant. There's so many people that we know absolutely nothing about, yet we have these little interactions with them
Starting point is 00:03:08 almost mindlessly all the time. Sometimes it's easy to forget that these people are also real people with their own lives, their own families, their own hopes and dreams, and their own grudges and dark secrets. We never really stop to think about how a stranger's actions will affect us because most of the time they don't until they do. So imagine hearing a knock on your front door one day.
Starting point is 00:03:38 You see a delivery person in a FedEx uniform. It's a complete stranger just dropping off a package. You aren't even thinking about them as much as you're thinking about what you ordered and what they're dropping off. But when you open the door, your entire life changes forever just because that stranger was out looking for revenge. This is why I don't open the door for anybody. Why I don't leave my house. I don't, if you come to my house, the door just doesn't get opened.
Starting point is 00:04:10 No matter what, door dash, deliveries. Thank you, I appreciate all the delivery drivers that drop it off my doorstep. Really appreciate it. I will never open the door for you, but I love you so much. But it's more than that. It's bending down in the grocery store aisle to get the can in the back and there's strangers walking behind you that could literally just...
Starting point is 00:04:30 I'm not that far gone. You should be. Yeah, I should. Okay, so let me introduce you to a 52 year old man named Mark Angelucci. So in 2020, Mark is living in Crestline, California. to a 52-year-old man named Mark Angelucci. So in 2020, Mark is living in Crestline, California. This is a small little mountain town in San Bernardino County.
Starting point is 00:04:53 It's about two and a half hours outside of Los Angeles. Now, Mark's never been married by 2020. He doesn't have kids. And that's because his entire life has been pretty much dedicated to his work. See, Mark is a high profile, well-liked lawyer. And he's not the kind of attorney that's driving around in some fancy car
Starting point is 00:05:17 wearing perfectly tailored suits all the time. Mark's a lot more down to earth. He prefers the quieter, more humble lifestyle, which is probably why he chose to even live up in the mountains. He's still got his old car that he's gonna drive into the ground. He's not flashy or materialistic,
Starting point is 00:05:35 according to any of his friends. He's just a fun-loving, lighthearted person who cares more about his close friendships than showing off to strangers. But there is one thing about Mark's career that some might find a little controversial. See, Mark was a men's rights attorney. And I know in this day and age, that just sounds a little wrong in general, but everyone who knew Mark said he was never someone who was against women.
Starting point is 00:06:05 In fact, he was very supportive of the feminist movement, but he found it important to look for places where men were maybe underrepresented in situations that mattered. For example, Mark was big on representing men who were victims of domestic violence. Oh, interesting. Yeah. I mean, there does need to be representation. Actually in 2008, he led a lawsuit against the state of California, claiming it was unconstitutional to exclude male victims from domestic violence resources. But he also fought for men who were, say, having a hard time getting the custody
Starting point is 00:06:42 rights that they deserved, that sort of thing. Everyone needs someone in their corner. a hard time getting the custody rights that they deserved, that sort of thing. Everyone needs someone in their corner and for men who were struggling in certain cases, Mark was their guy. A lot of the time he even took on cases pro bono. Now aside from that, Mark was also the vice president of an organization called the National Coalition for Men or the NCFM, which is a non-profit civil rights organization aimed at fighting legal discrimination against men.
Starting point is 00:07:11 So this is a big part of Mark's life and his identity, to say the least. And while Mark might have upset a few people along the way, no one anticipated what happened to him in July of 2020. So on the 11th of that month, Mark was enjoying a quiet little Saturday at home with a friend when a little before 4 p.m., there was a knock at his front door. Mark's friend peered out the window
Starting point is 00:07:40 and noticed it was a FedEx delivery guy. While Mark was busy, the friend opened the front door and offered to sign for the package. But the delivery person insisted that it had to be Mark's signature. So they waited patiently at the front door while the friend went to grab Mark. He came back ready to sign for the package and to then continue about his day. And this is when the Fed ex-man pulled out a handgun and just shot Mark point blank on his doorstep. The delivery man then ran back to his white car, got in and sped off. And this is before Mark's friend has even really realized what happened.
Starting point is 00:08:26 Like he heard the bang. He didn't realize though that the delivery man had shot Mark that fast and then ran away. First responders arrived at Mark's home a little after 4 PM that day, but it was too late to save him. Oh gosh. Mark was pronounced dead at the scene. And the only thing police really had to work off of was the fact that a white male dressed in a FedEx outfit,
Starting point is 00:08:51 driving a white car, pretending to be a delivery man, had been the one who shot him. That's going to be hard to find, especially considering where he lives. Well, two things were sort of happening simultaneously here. There were both no suspects and dozens of suspects at the same time. Because while they had no idea who this FedEx driver could have been and why he might have deliberately wanted Mark dead, Mark did have a lot of clients and cases he was working on where he was either representing or working against some pretty troubled people. I mean, anytime a lawyer is killed, you're going to have a long list of suspects.
Starting point is 00:09:35 I'm actually surprised this doesn't happen more. Not that I want it to happen more. Obviously I'm just saying, considering the amount of cases lawyers take and high profile cases, low profile cases, just anything that has to do with someone dangerous. I'm also surprised that they don't give protection to any of the attorneys, but then that would be hard. I think maybe some attorneys in really high profile cases. I guess it's no different than being like a police
Starting point is 00:10:05 officer or in that line of work, right? Well, it's just that like, if you feel like you have had injustice against you and then there's someone actively working to keep that injustice against you, fight for the person who's hurt you, that is like frustrating. I can imagine just sitting there being like, Oh my gosh. Yeah. Just feeling so out of control of this situation.
Starting point is 00:10:31 So when this happens, Mark's friends confidently told police, it was very likely that the person who had shown up on the doorstep and shot him was someone that he had worked with or was currently working with that probably has a grudge against him. But as police started to look into who those suspects might be, another tragedy happened. It was eight days later and 2,800 miles away. So it's now July 19th in North Brunswick, New Jersey, about an hour and a half outside of New York City. And the Anduril family is having what starts off as a lovely Sunday afternoon. 20-year-old Daniel was a junior at Catholic University in Washington, DC, but that year had been tough on him, like it had been for pretty much everyone in 2020.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Because of the pandemic, Daniel had spent much of this last semester just studying at home, missing his friends. But Daniel wasn't the type of kid to complain. He and his family were the sort of people to make the best out of any hand they were dealt. Daniel's mother, Esther, was born to a Cuban mother and a Mexican father.
Starting point is 00:11:44 And honestly, this woman was a hero in more ways than one. When she was younger, she literally helped her family escape from a house fire. Then she grows up and goes on to pursue a law career and becomes the first Latin U.S. District Court judge in 2011, which is a huge deal. It was through her law career that she ends up meeting her husband, Mark Anderle, who went on to be a criminal defense attorney. Judge Salas, which is Esther's last name,
Starting point is 00:12:14 was actually in charge of a pretty famous New Jersey case back in 2014. If you watch the Real Housewives of New Jersey, she was the judge assigned to Teresa and Joe's financial fraud case. I've never watched any episodes of anything Real Housewives.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Me neither. I just don't, I think a lot of people think I'm crazy for that, but never been my thing. I know, never been my thing. Honestly, Peyton and I don't really watch reality TV. Everyone's always telling us to watch Love is Blind or what's the other one? Love Island. And I don't know, for some reason,
Starting point is 00:12:46 we don't love reality TV, huh? It's not that, it's just that there are other things I would rather watch more. And I don't spend a ton of time watching TV. And so I don't have enough time to then also do the reality TV. That's true, like right now we're watching This is Us. The Last of're watching The Last of Us.
Starting point is 00:13:05 The Last of Us. Guys, Garrett is struggling. I've cut a bunch out, but I'm struggling today. Wait, what's This Is Us? Did I make that up? No, that's the- I feel like I can't speak English right now too. I feel like I have a list.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Remember, Chris Shell's ex-husband? He was on This Is Us. Krishel. Oh, what's his name? Selling Sunset Krishel. Justin. You mean the guy with Sine Sweeney? No, that's Glen Powell, but close. I'm talking about Justin Hartley.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Wait, Glen Powell... Is not Justin Hartley. They kind of look like, right? Yeah. I mean, yeah. Same, same. Same. Tomato, tomato.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Same loaf of bread, I guess. Same, same. Same. Tomato, tomato. Same loaf of bread, I guess. Same loaf of bread. Okay, thank you. Anyways, she was the judge for the Real Housewives of New Jersey. So all to say, Daniel, who is the only child of two very prominent people in law,
Starting point is 00:14:01 decides obviously he's gonna follow in their footsteps. So he's planning to go into law school once he graduates from Catholic University. But as I mentioned, it has been a while since Daniel has seen any of his friends thanks to the pandemic. So earlier that summer he asked his parents for a favor. Could some of his closest college friends come by and spend the weekend for his birthday if they promised to be super careful. And Esther and Mark say, yeah, sure. So on Friday, July 17th,
Starting point is 00:14:29 a handful of old pals stayed at the Anderle's house spending the weekend, laughing, reminiscing, and having beautiful meals to celebrate Daniel's 20th birthday. And when it came time to pack up their things that Sunday morning, the 19th, they thought it would only be a matter of time before they would all be reunited again at school.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Little did they know, just a few hours after they would leave Daniel's home, everything would change. So that afternoon, there is another knock on the door of the Anduril family home. Now Mark peers out the window to see a FedEx delivery guy standing at their doorstep. Now he thinks to himself, it's a little odd for a delivery driver to be working on a Sunday afternoon, but he figures, I don't know, it's 2020. Nothing seems to be normal right now. So before Mark can even get to the door, Daniel, his son, who had been chatting in the basement with his mom, darts upstairs to answer the door.
Starting point is 00:15:29 And when he opens it, he finds a white man standing there in a FedEx uniform saying he has an envelope for Esther. He asks Daniel if she's home and if she can come to the door to sign for it. But before Daniel can even make a move to go fetch his mom, the delivery man pulls out a gun. Geez. His dad, Mark, comes around the corner just in time to see his son raise his arms in the air,
Starting point is 00:15:57 scream no, and then get shot and fall back onto the ground. So because Daniel has gotten shot and is now on the ground, Mark, the dad is now in the man's line of fire. So the gunman then points his weapon at the dad and fires three more times. What is going on? Well, it's at this point, obviously, that Esther, the mom, darts upstairs
Starting point is 00:16:22 to find her husband and son both bleeding out in her foyer and The man who'd attacked them is now nowhere to be found First responders were out the house within a matter of minutes They placed mark who was still breathing on a gurney and rushed him to the hospital But it was already too late for Daniel. Oh, he was pronounced dead at the scene it was already too late for Daniel. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Now, Mark, his dad suffered severe wounds to the stomach, but thankfully he did make a full recovery.
Starting point is 00:16:51 And while police weren't yet aware of the similar crime that had just been committed a week earlier in California, I mean, we're on two different parts of the United States, it would only be a matter of time before they found out because both of them are gonna rope in the help of the FBI. Now here's the thing. I mean, it's obviously the same guy, but why? Because one's an attorney, one's a judge. Well, I mean, I guess it's, I guess the legal system technically. So yeah. Now judge Salas has of course gotten threats in the past. She's a high profile judge prosecuting big cases.
Starting point is 00:17:28 So the occasional scary phone call or intimidating letter probably wasn't all that foreign to her, but this is certainly the first time anyone has acted on it. And she has no idea who it could be while the FBI works to figure that out. They equip her with 24 hour protection from us marshals. So they're pulling out the big guns for this. Especially because they aren't sure if this is one person or an entire group of people targeting her family. So the FBI is mentally preparing themselves for what they think is going to be a doozy of a case. They're getting ready to start collecting any shred of a threat that's been sent
Starting point is 00:18:06 to the judge in the past when the following day the FBI hear about another death that happened 150 miles away in New York State's Catskill Mountains. So this is now the third death in this case. On July 20th, this is just the day after Daniel's death and Mark's shooting, New York state troopers receive a call about a suspicious vehicle sitting on a dead end road in Sullivan County, New York. Sure enough, when they arrive at the scene, they find the vehicle is abandoned, but they also discover that just a few steps away is a dead body lying in the grass, and this man has been shot in the head, and he has his wallet and his ID on him.
Starting point is 00:18:55 It's a 72-year-old man named Roy Dan Hollander, but they find something else at the scene sort of covered in the brush. It's a semi-automatic pistol, and from the direction of the wound, investigators are pretty sure that the shot was self-inflicted in this case. Now the name Roy Den Hollander doesn't ring any bells for police. It doesn't seem like he's on any sort of suspect or wanted list at the time, but a quick background search on Hollander reveals he's also an attorney, though he's from New York City. So the question now is, why would an established lawyer with a big career come all the way
Starting point is 00:19:38 up to the Catskills to die by suicide? Well, one of the officers on this case, Captain Brian Webster, starts asking this exact question. But once they start rifling through Hollander's car, things become even clearer. So probably the most telling clue was that Hollander had a FedEx envelope sitting in his car that was addressed to Judge Salas in New Jersey. And Captain Brian Webster, well, he watches the news. So this name sets off a bunch of alarm bells for him because he's been following the story
Starting point is 00:20:16 over the last 24 hours about how a prominent New Jersey judge and her family was targeted by a FedEx worker at their home. So once he sees that FedEx envelope, he's thinking, wait, I might have the suspect in this case, but he's now our victim in this case. Interesting. So he alerts the FBI right away. Oh, and by the way, a 38 handgun,
Starting point is 00:20:41 like the one that was found right by the deceased Hollander, is the same weapon used in the attack on the family. So I mean one plus one equals two, but that's not the only telling thing police find in the vehicle. They also discover a piece of paper with an address for a home in the mountains just outside of Los Angeles, a home in San Bernardino belonging to Mark Angelucci. You know, it's sad that the woman in this case, like her son just got killed because of a case she's working on. Esther. That sucks.
Starting point is 00:21:26 So I do want to just be clear. We have two marks. Yeah. The first victim is Mark Angelucci. The one's that dad. Yeah. Yep. And the second one is the husband who was shot but is alive.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Now the FBI gets in touch with the police in that district because they're like, why does this paper have this name on it? And then they learn about Mark's murder. Because remember at that time, the crime was still being investigated by local police forces. And they didn't have a single person on their suspect list over in California.
Starting point is 00:21:58 So as they're putting the pieces together, they're feeling pretty confident. Okay, we think these three crimes are connected or these three deaths, if you will, are connected. I feel like it'd be pretty, I'm not a cop or detective, but I should be on the jury. Besides the point, I feel like it'd be pretty easy to be like, okay, what cases has this judge worked?
Starting point is 00:22:20 What cases has this attorney worked? Bada bing, bada boom. They're also like, not only are these all connected, we're pretty sure Hollander shot himself. So now we're thinking he's the guy, but then why did he shoot himself? But it's on the opposite side of the country. So did he act alone? Is there more people? Is this a group of people who are attacking lawyers or judges? Seems to be the former because they find evidence that Hollander had taken a train out west to San Bernardino on July 7th, four days before Mark
Starting point is 00:22:51 Angelucci's murder. Got there, rented a car. It's a car with the same description as the one that showed up at Mark's house that day. And then he fled back to Los Angeles, dropped off the rental, and got back on a train at Union Station to come east. So this is just even more damning because they have proof he went to California. So Hollander is captured in surveillance footage at both train stations, LA and San Bernardino. It seems open and shut.
Starting point is 00:23:17 He's walking in this footage with a coffee in his hand, but it confirms exactly when he arrived and left. This just fits the timeline of the crimes. So shortly after making this discovery, police also test the ballistics in the weapon that they found with Hollander at his crime scene, I guess, if you will. It self-induced crime scene. And they run it against the one that shot both Daniel and Mark. Sure enough, the bullets are a match. So the FBI is certain. We have our guy and we know that he was very likely working alone in this, but now we need to know why. Roy Den Hollander wasn't some
Starting point is 00:23:59 hardened criminal or someone down on their luck whose life was made harder by either Judge Salas or Mark Angelucci. He was just another human to them. So why would he want both of them dead? By the way, this mystery only deepens with some of the other pieces of evidence found in his car. Because Hollander appeared to have made some sort of hit list. Police also discovered a photo of a New York chief judge named Janet DeFore. There was also another address for a state appeals courthouse in his car. So now they're wondering, was this someone Hollander had planned to get to and just couldn't? And an address for a courtroom could mean anything, but with Hollander's history and agenda was he planning to just go in there and open fire on a room full of people?
Starting point is 00:24:55 It just seems like there's a ton of what ifs surrounding Hollander. The one silver lining is that he can't hurt anyone anymore. They're pretty sure they have their guy. But all of these targets being court related are a bit telling to investigators. Clearly Hollander was someone with a grudge of vendetta. And the only way to get to the bottom of it is to dig deeper in to Roy's life.
Starting point is 00:25:18 So the day after police find Hollander dead, they're in his New York City apartment confiscating every shred of evidence they can to unravel this mystery. They're also speaking to anyone and everyone they can get to who might have known or worked with Hollander at some point. And this is what they find. One former friend named Jeffrey Drummond says that Hollander was actually a good lawyer.
Starting point is 00:25:45 He was a scary guy though. When he hears that his friend is responsible for not one but two high profile murders, he's like, yeah, that doesn't really surprise me. This guy Hollander had a huge anger problem. See, Jeffrey met Hollander back in 1977 when they were both volunteering for a state Senate campaign out of Boston. They both then moved to New York around the same time three years later, so the two kept in
Starting point is 00:26:15 touch being in a new city and all. But eventually Jeffrey says he started to put distance between them. He said Hollander was toxic, always extremely angry about life in general, and was just the kind of unpredictable person you never really wanted in your life. Also kind of ironic considering he's an attorney trying to get away with murder. Murder. But he should also know that it's extremely difficult to get away with murder. I'm not sure he was trying to get away with it. I think he was just trying to get his anger out considering that he then took his own life. And here's the thing,
Starting point is 00:26:50 they interview another one of his friends, Joe, and he said pretty much the same thing. Joe and Hollander actually met in Moscow in 1999. Joe was working for an American consulting firm there, and that year Hollander also joined the team. Now I'm not sure if the job was what brought Hollander out to Russia, but I know Joe was pretty impressed by Hollander's past because Hollander was actually a really intelligent guy. He had worked at prestigious law firms back in the United States and had an NBA from an Ivy League school. Plus,
Starting point is 00:27:22 Hollander really seemed to keep up with his appearance because he worked out all the time. He was dying his hair a lot. So Joe thought for a 50 year old single guy, this is someone who has a lot going for him. He's smart, he's handsome. And Hollander seemed to think so too, cause he was always out in the nightlife scene
Starting point is 00:27:40 in Moscow looking for women to date. In fact, Joe said it almost seemed like an obsession for Hollander. All he wanted to do after work was go out, drink, and pick up a new woman. And in that nightlife scene in Russia, the 50-ish-year-old Hollander met a 24-year-old model named Alina.
Starting point is 00:28:01 The two had a whirlwind romance and got married in Russia in 2000. Then when Hollander moved back to the States, she came with him under a temporary visa. Ninety-day fiance. Twenty-five years in between them. But after they got back to New York City, that summer things started to go south. Alina began filing complaints with the police saying Hollander had become abusive. Meanwhile, he argued she was just using him to get a green card. And by December of 2000,
Starting point is 00:28:26 less than a year after getting married, the two were officially divorced. Later, Hollander would argue that Alina falsely accused him of abuse just so she could stay in the States under the Violence Against Women Act, which does offer those sorts of protections and can help survivors petition for immigration status. Here's the thing though. People who knew Hollander believed Alina weren't surprised because Hollander always had this sort of lack
Starting point is 00:28:52 of respect or honestly rather total disdain for women. He was openly anti feminist and he used his skills as a lawyer to argue a lot of things that he felt were inherently favorable towards women. But as a fellow lawyer, Nicholas Mundy told the post quote, in my opinion, he was already a controlling, misogynistic, sexist, delusional, and disturbed individual before his marriage failed. So this is just the type of person, people around him. And then in the two, friends noticed that Hollander
Starting point is 00:29:28 was starting to call women by a new name. So instead of calling them women, he started calling them feminazis. Okay, this guy's weird. So the angry anti-feminist remarks got less subtle, more consistent from there, which would make sense considering some of the cases he started taking on at this point in his career. Like this one. In 2008, he sued Columbia University for providing women's studies classes. He claimed it was bigotry against men. And he won that lawsuit, by the way. He won? Yes. He also filed a handful of lawsuits against bars for having ladies nights. Um, he said they violated the 14th amendment that says everyone should have equal protection. Oh, life that's embarrassing. He's basically
Starting point is 00:30:17 saying the fact that you're giving women a discount to get into the bar and not men is prejudicial. So it was sort of trivial nonsense that Roy Den Hollander was wasting his law degree fighting for. But in Hollander's eyes, his fight against women seemed to be a cause worth dying for. And this all appeared to stem back to his mother. Apparently at one point in his career, Hollander wrote a book and dedicated it to his mother
Starting point is 00:30:44 writing, May She Burn in hell. Holy crap What is going on? This was a lifelong crusade for mr. Hollander something that was made apparent to police when they discovered a 2,000 page manifesto in his apartment 2,000 I can't even begin to get into all of the details, but as you can imagine, a lot of this manifesto had to do with how much he hated women. It's embarrassing. It kind of signaled why he had driven from New York up to the middle of nowhere to die by suicide. Apparently it had to do with the fact that his family had a cabin there when he was a
Starting point is 00:31:22 little boy. You're probably wondering, okay, why the heck did he pick these people? Like why travel all the way across the United States to shoot one person? Especially because Mark was a male rights activist. This would seemingly be right up Hollander's alley. So you'd think they'd be in the same corner. Not really. Let me start with Mark.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Yes, they may have had a similar line of work, but turns out Hollander actually had a grudge against this man for years. And it appeared to be over something that seems small. I guess Mark had filed a lawsuit alongside the National Coalition of Men around 2014 and Hollander had already been working to file a very similar lawsuit. So now he's like, hmm, even though we're fighting the same battle, you are now my competition because you were first. Yeah. Cause you're fighting the same battle as me.
Starting point is 00:32:10 What a guy, man. What a guy. And to make matters worse, worse, Hollander was a board member of the NCFM at the time, but he was kicked out a year later in 2015 because he called the president of the NCFM Harry Crouch and threatened his life after Hollander learned he'd been left out of that lawsuit that Mark was now filing. So he's literally just petty. It's such a cowardly move to kill people and then kill yourself. Yeah, like it's such a cowardly move. Now Mark Angelucci had received a handful of threats from Hollander over the years,
Starting point is 00:32:45 but apparently didn't know they were coming from him. Or if he did know they were coming from Hollander, he didn't tell anyone. So, all right, we now know his motive for Mark, but why Judge Salas and her family? In 2015, Hollander filed a lawsuit that Judge Salas was overseeing. The case argued that selective service registration was only required for males. So basically if there's ever a draft for the war, only men are included in that.
Starting point is 00:33:12 But Hollander argued that's discriminatory. Oh no, man. Hollander saw this case as a huge milestone for his career. I mean, if he could change this law, he would literally change American history. But judge solace was a roadblock to that because she kept delaying the case. Apparently there were so many postponements that in 2019 Hollander had to turn the case over to a larger New York firm because he claimed something had
Starting point is 00:33:38 come up in his life that would preclude him from doing his job. And that's when he started killing people. Troy Dunn Hollander at this point in 2019, had just been diagnosed with cancer. Now it all makes sense. He figured he was going to die anyways. Might as well go out, taking everyone down with him. It was terminal.
Starting point is 00:33:58 Treatment would only be in vain. I'm not sure how long they gave him to live, but the way he saw it, he wasn't going to go out alone. In that manifesto, Hollander confessed that the diagnosis motivated him to go after those he felt had wronged him. In his writings, he included the quote, the only problem with a life lived too long under feminazi rule is that a man ends up with so many enemies that he can't even the score with all of them.
Starting point is 00:34:24 But law school and the media taught me how to prioritize. And unfortunately, Mark Angelucci and Judge Salas were some of his top priorities. Though it wasn't Judge Salas who lost her life that day, it was her son, Daniel, and nearly her husband, Mark, as well. Judge Salas felt that a major part of the problem was how easy it was to access her information online. Thanks to a quick Google search, Roy was able to find his way directly to her doorstep. And in
Starting point is 00:34:54 November 2020, she pushed for legislation to change that. That month, Daniel's law was signed into effect. This bill is aimed at protecting public officials from having any of their personal information listed online. Judge Salas' hope is that no judge, attorney, or lawmaker will ever have to worry about a stranger showing up at their doorstep again. She wants to make sure that none of her colleagues ever have to go through the heartbreaking devastation her family went through when they lost their only son. If you want to make a contribution to the victims of this case and their cause,
Starting point is 00:35:35 you can visit the Daniel judicial protection projects website at www.judicialprotection.org. And that is the murders of Mark Angelucci and Daniel Enderle. It's just sad. The son had nothing to do with it. The husband had nothing to do with it. I mean, obviously it wasn't... She didn't have anything to do with it I mean, I mean obviously it wasn't no she didn't have anything but I mean like there was motive You know I'm saying I'm just saying just I mean, they're all innocent bystanders basically, but the son's just opening the door Yeah, what the and I'm sure and it's weird that at his first murder He waited for the correct person
Starting point is 00:36:04 Care and this time I think't care and this time he didn't. I think that because of the cancer he just I think he was just well he had a lot of negative grumpy angry person so much rage constantly played the victim and had rage and thought you know what if I'm gonna die so are other people is so messed up which is honestly just like the worst type of person because it's horrible. You're just grumpy. Like you're just a bad person. If you're grumpy and you're listening to this,
Starting point is 00:36:31 go do something else. Well, if you're grumpy because like you didn't get to have a cookie, that makes sense and that's okay. But if you're grumpy because you hate women, you should go to therapy. You're wild. All right, you guys, that is our episode for this week. And we will see you next time with another one.
Starting point is 00:36:49 I love it. And I hate it. Goodbye. Bye.
