Over the weekend, the 20-year-old son of US District Judge Esther Salas was assassinated by a man disguised as a FedEx driver. Salas’ husband was also critically wounded in the attack, which swiftly became the subject of conspiratorial speculation. The obvious reason for the attack, many believed, was because Esther was the judge on a case related to Deutsche Bank and Jeffrey Epstein.

Within 24 hours, though, the alleged assassin had been found dead and, while it can’t be certain yet, his motivation appears to be the result of a virulent anti-feminist ideology.

Roy Den Hollander, the presumed killer, was a lawyer who previously argued a case in Salas’ court. Hollander was widely known for misogynistic, “anti-feminist” views, views he shared on Fox News among other outlets.

The details of the attack that killed Salas’ son and injured her husband appear straightforward. After that, though, the story gets more complicated.
