Fred Neulander, 60, co-founder of Congregation M'Kor Shalom, is accused of paying two men, Len Jenoff and Paul Daniels, $30,000 to murder his wife in order to continue an affair with Elaine Soncini, a popular Philadelphia radio personality.

Neulander's solution, said Lynch, was to hire Jenoff to kill his wife, disguising the killing as a burglary.
