A New Jersey Cold Case True Crime Investigation of Scott Short and the Murder of Candy Short
In March 1983, twenty-seven-year-old mother Candace "Candy" Short was shot to death inside her home in Wayne, New Jersey. Her husband, Scott Short, claimed an intruder executed the crime, and initial police investigations stalled without a clear suspect.
Author Michael Kaplan details how Passaic County Investigator George Brejack reopened the cold case years later. By re-examining financial records, extra-marital affairs, and forensic physical evidence, Brejack built a circumstantial case that convicted Scott Short of murder seven years after the crime.
