An imprisoned former advertising executive claims a hit man he hired to kill his ex-wife is the suspect in the unsolved murder of a Madison woman.
A state prosecutor said Wednesday that Richard Shenkman is alleging the unnamed hit man killed Barbara Hamburg, whose body was found outside her Madison home in March 2010. WFSB-TV reports (http://bit.ly/wkIt3N ) the prosecutor also said Madison police have brought steak to Shenkman in prison in exchange for information.
Madison police declined to comment.
Shenkman is serving a 70-year prison sentence for kidnapping ex-wife Nancy Tyler in 2009, holding her hostage during a police standoff in South Windsor and burning down their former home. Tyler wasn't seriously hurt.
Shenkman claimed during his sentencing in January that he had hired a hit man to kill Tyler.

We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
