Wrapping up the Kauffman killing
Reporter Annie McCormick dishes on her book about the SJ homicide
In my column last week, I interviewed Action News reporter Annie McCormick about how she chased the story of a murder-for-hire in South Jersey.
Her book, “The Doctor, the Hitman, and the Motorcycle Gang: The True Story of One of New Jersey’s Most Notorious Murder for Hire Plots,” is about the 2012 murder of April Kauffman, a popular radio personality and veterans advocate.
McCormick is an award-winning reporter who has covered crime in the Philadelphia area extensively for 6abc since 2012. Her book covers the sensational case of a wife who was murdered, and her husband, Dr. Jim Kauffman, who was later charged with hiring someone to kill her. Kauffman, a noted endocrinologist, was also suspected of Medicare fraud and of operating a “pill mill” with outlaw bikers.
