[Jpost] The FBI said on Wednesday it had evidence linking Roy Den Hollander, the suspect in the shooting of the son and husband of federal judge Esther Salas in New Jersey, to a separate murder earlier this month in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,.
The FBI said in an emailed statement it was working with the sheriff's office in San Bernardino, California and had evidence linking Hollander to the July 11 death of Marc Angelucci, who like Hollander was a men's rights activist.
In both attacks, the suspect appeared to pose as a delivery driver, according to a law enforcement official. The official could not discuss an ongoing investigation publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.
Investigators found items in Den Hollander’s possession that prompted concerns about whether he had targeted, or planned to target, other people. The items included a photograph of New York Chief Judge Janet DiFiore and the address of a state appeals courthouse, a state court spokesperson said.
Den Hollander, 72, described himself as an “anti-feminist” attorney who filed lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of “ladies night” promotions at bars and nightclubs, sued Columbia University for providing women’s studies classes, and sued news organizations over what he said was biased coverage.
In more than 2,000 pages of often misogynistic, racist writings posted online, Den Hollander sharply criticized Salas and other female judges.
He also wrote about wanting to use the rest of his time on earth to “even the score” with his perceived enemies, using “cowboy justice.”
Both Den Hollander and Angelucci, 52, were involved in lawsuits seeking to force the US government to require all young women to join men in registering for a possible military draft.
Harry Crouch, president of the National Coalition for Men, told The Associated Press that Den Hollander was furious that he had not been involved in Angelucci’s case.
“Roy was just not happy that we did not involve him as a co-counsel. I think unhappy is an understatement,” Crouch said. “He called me up and threatened me.”
Den Hollander’s lawsuit, filed in 2015 on behalf of a woman in New Jersey, was assigned to Salas. He withdrew as the lawyer in the case a year ago after being diagnosed with cancer.
