USA. Endocrinologist Allegedly Ran Pill Mill With Bike Gang, Murdered His Wife

A New Jersey endocrinologist, James Kauffman, MD, has been charged with arranging the murder of his wife, April Kauffman, who was a local radio host. She was shot dead aged 47 at their home five and a half years ago, in May 2012, and Dr Kauffman had been the subject of much speculation regarding her death, with her family long suspecting him of playing a role.

Prosecutors, who charged Dr Kauffman on Tuesday, outlined a lurid tale that they say led him to hire someone to kill his wife. This involved him running an opioid 'pill mill' together with a motorcycle gang called Pagan Outlaw according to a report on Philly.com. (Medscape, 11.01.2018)
