Atlantic City Radio: Man Pleads Guilty In Kauffman Murder

April Kauffman

A Cape May County, New Jersey man pleaded guilty Thursday to a racketeering charge in connection with the 2012 shooting death of WOND Radio Personality April Kauffman, Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon G. Tyner said.

Joseph Mulholland, 52, of Villas, pleaded to the second-degree charge before Superior Court Presiding Judge Bernard DeLury. Under his plea agreement, Mulholland could serve a maximum of 10 years in state prison, according to philly.com.

Kauffman was killed in 2012. Her husband James Kauffman, an endocrinologist who was awaiting trial on charges that he arranged her death, died in January by suicide in a North Jersey jail. He allegedly was involved in a prescription drug-dealing scheme with the Pagans motorcycle gang and hired a hitman to kill his wife because she threatened to tell police.
