The investigation into the death of April Kauffman, a New Jersey radio host, was effectively reopened following the 2017 arrest of her husband, Dr. James Kauffman, on unrelated charges.

Authorities discovered that Dr. Kauffman had been operating an illegal drug ring in collaboration with the Pagans Motorcycle Club. This revelation provided a motive for the murder, as April had reportedly threatened to expose the operation during divorce proceedings. Subsequent investigations led to the indictment of several individuals, including Ferdinand Augello, who was charged with murder and racketeering in connection with April’s death. Dr. Kauffman died in jail in 2018, while Augello was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. ​
