An openly misogynistic lawyer who is believed to have killed the son of a female federal judge in New Jersey had a list of more than a dozen other possible targets, including three other judges and two doctors, three people with knowledge of the matter said. The list was found Monday inside a rented car on a rural road in the Catskills in New York, where the lawyer, Roy Den Hollander,72, had killed himself. Hours earlier, law enforcement officials believe, Den Hollander walked up to a house belonging to Judge Esther Salas on a suburban street in North Brunswick, New Jersey, and fatally shot her 20-year-old son when he answered the door. He also critically wounded her husband. The judge escaped unharmed. Investigators have concluded that Den Hollander traveled eight days earlier by train to California to kill Marc Angelucci,52, a men’s rights lawyer whom he considered a professional rival. Angelucci was also shot on his doorstep. Esther Salas and Angelucci were included on the list found in the rental car, along with at least 10 other people with whom Den Hollander apparently had scores to settle, including three jurists: New York state’s chief judge, another federal judge in New Jersey, and a state judge in Manhattan who, like Salas, had presided over a case he brought. Also on the list were two oncologists in Manhattan, at least one of whom had treated Den Hollander, two of the people said. While his precise motive for making the list remains unclear, Den Hollander had received a terminal cancer diagnosis, and FBI agents this past week were exploring whether that news set him off on a mission of revenge against those he believed were his enemies. A spokeswoman for the FBI’s Newark, New Jersey, office, which is investigating the shootings with the U. S. attorney’s office in the state, declined to comment on the list. The U. S. attorney’s office did not respond to a call seeking comment. This past week, officials acknowledged that information about two New York state judges and Salas was discovered in the rental car, and WNBC reported that investigators also found material about Angelucci and a doctor who had treated Den Hollander.
