Assessment: UNCERTAIN​

Marc Angelucci's murder is directly connected to the attack on Judge Esther Salas's family — the FBI confirmed the same .380 caliber handgun was used in both shootings, and the same man, Roy Den Hollander, carried out both attacks using the same FedEx delivery driver disguise. Angelucci himself had no known connection to Jeffrey Epstein. His inclusion here is based entirely on the fact that his killer also targeted the judge overseeing the Epstein-Deutsche Bank lawsuit. The central unresolved question is whether Den Hollander was truly acting alone as a disgruntled litigant, or whether the Angelucci killing was part of a broader operation in which the Salas attack was the primary objective.

Circumstances of Death​

On the evening of July 11, 2020, a man dressed as a delivery driver rang the doorbell at Angelucci's home in Cedarpines Park, California, in the San Bernardino Mountains. When a housemate answered the door, the man said he had a package for Marc Angelucci. When Angelucci came to the door, the gunman shot him and fled in a vehicle. Angelucci died at the scene.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department initially investigated the killing as a standalone homicide with no immediate suspects.

Eight days later, on July 19, 2020, a gunman using the identical FedEx delivery driver ruse attacked the family of U.S. District Judge Esther Salas at their home in North Brunswick, New Jersey. Judge Salas's 20-year-old son, Daniel Anderl, was killed. Her husband, Mark Anderl, was shot three times and critically wounded. Judge Salas had been assigned the Deutsche Bank investors' lawsuit — which alleged the bank failed to properly monitor high-risk customers including Jeffrey Epstein — just four days before the attack.

The gunman was identified as Roy Den Hollander, a 72-year-old self-described "anti-feminist" attorney from New York. On July 20, 2020, Den Hollander was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound alongside a rental car on Ragin Road in Rockland, Sullivan County, New York — near a cabin his family had owned since the 1950s. Inside the car, investigators found a FedEx envelope addressed to Judge Salas, the address of Angelucci's San Bernardino County residence, and a list of additional targets including other judges and doctors.

The FBI confirmed that the .380 caliber handgun found next to Den Hollander's body was the same weapon used to kill both Marc Angelucci and Daniel Anderl, ballistically linking the two attacks.

Background​

Marc Angelucci grew up in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles. He earned a B.A. in philosophy from the University of California, Berkeley in 1996 and a J.D. from UCLA School of Law in 2000.

Angelucci became involved in the men's rights movement after witnessing a close friend suffer years of physical abuse by his wife, only to be denied domestic violence services because he was male. He joined the National Coalition for Men (NCFM) as a law student in 1997, founded its Los Angeles chapter in 2001, and served as vice president for over a decade.

His legal career focused on civil rights cases challenging what he argued were systemic legal disadvantages faced by men:

  • Woods v. Horton (2008): Won a California appellate court ruling that the state legislature had improperly excluded men from domestic violence victim protection programs.
  • NCFM v. Selective Service System (2013-2019): Filed suit on behalf of the NCFM arguing the male-only military draft was unconstitutional. Federal Judge Gray H. Miller ruled in February 2019 that the male-only draft was indeed unconstitutional.
  • Appeared in the 2016 documentary The Red Pill, which examined the men's rights movement.

Colleagues described Angelucci as having donated millions of dollars' worth of pro bono legal work over his career. He was widely respected within the men's rights community for his commitment to legal advocacy over confrontation.

The Den Hollander Connection​

Roy Den Hollander was also a men's rights attorney who had filed his own lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the male-only draft. According to Paul Elam, a men's rights activist and friend of Angelucci, Den Hollander harbored a grudge against Angelucci for years because their draft-related cases were in competition. Den Hollander reportedly viewed Angelucci as a rival who was getting credit for legal work Den Hollander believed was rightfully his.

Den Hollander had also appeared before Judge Esther Salas in 2015 on a gender-equity lawsuit. While Salas allowed the case to proceed, she reportedly ruled against some of Den Hollander's arguments, which according to investigators fueled his resentment toward her.

At the time of the attacks, Den Hollander was reportedly terminally ill with cancer. Investigators believe this may have been a factor in his decision to carry out a final killing spree before taking his own life.

Why This Death Possibly Raises Questions​

  • Same gunman attacked the Epstein-case judge's family eight days later: The ballistic and forensic evidence conclusively links Angelucci's murder to the attack on Judge Salas's family. The same weapon, the same FedEx disguise, the same killer.
  • The timing with the Deutsche Bank-Epstein case: Judge Salas was assigned the Deutsche Bank investors' lawsuit — alleging the bank failed to monitor Epstein's accounts — just four days before her family was attacked. Whether this timing is coincidental remains debated.
  • Den Hollander's target list: Investigators found a list of multiple targets in Den Hollander's rental car, suggesting a planned series of attacks rather than a spontaneous act.
  • The "lone wolf" question: Authorities concluded Den Hollander acted alone, motivated by personal grievances against Angelucci (professional rivalry) and Judge Salas (judicial rulings against him). However, some commentators have questioned whether a 72-year-old terminally ill man could have carried out a cross-country killing spree — California to New Jersey — without assistance or direction.
  • Den Hollander's reported intelligence connections: According to reporting by RT and other outlets, Den Hollander had reportedly worked for Kroll Associates, sometimes described as "the CIA of Wall Street." The significance of this employment, if confirmed, remains unclear.
  • No clear personal motive for killing Angelucci first: While professional rivalry has been cited as the motive for the Angelucci killing, some observers have noted that it is unusual for someone planning to attack a federal judge to first travel cross-country to kill a professional rival — unless the Angelucci killing served some other purpose, such as testing the delivery driver disguise or establishing a pattern that would obscure the true motive for the Salas attack.
