Dead End: A New Jersey Political Murder Mystery is a seven-part investigative podcast series that delves into the unsolved killing of John and Joyce Sheridan. Its a story of crime and politics in the Garden State.

Hosted by WNYC Senior Reporter Nancy Solomon, Dead End tells the tale of the high-profile murders that had inexplicable oversights in the original investigation, shines a light on new evidence, and raises troubling questions about power dynamics and corruption at the highest levels in New Jersey politics.
On September 28, 2014, former New Jersey Transportation Commissioner John Sheridan was found dead along with his wife Joyce Sheridan in their home in Skillman, New Jersey. The couple were prominent Republican donors who had relationships with some of the most powerful people in the state, including former Governor Chris Christie. Both suffered multiple stab wounds and their house was set on fire. Although authorities initially declared it a murder-suicide, the Sheridans’ eldest son, Mark, is consumed with questions and doubt, and takes it upon himself to search for the truth – but encounters roadblocks at every turn.
Solomon – who has been covering New Jersey politics for over two decades – takes up Mark’s inquiry. Through interviews with former governors, attorneys general, police detectives and a prosecutor who helped take down the New Jersey mob, Dead End examines how the deaths of such a politically connected couple could be ignored by top law enforcement agencies and left unresolved.
The first episode comes out on April 26, 2022.
