His attorney, Edward Fitzpatrick of Hackensack, did not return phone calls to his office Wednesday or Thursday. Borden refused to provide details of how the inquiry into the leak will be conducted except to say it will initially focus on law enforcement personnel. A Courier-Post reporter was contacted Thursday by the Internal Affairs Division of the Cherry Hill Police Department and asked to identify his source for the story earlier this week. The reporter declined to do so.

Authorities have said Carol Neulander died from being struck numerous times on the head with a blunt object.
