Where is Jenna Neulander now? Details about Robert Neulander's daughter explored ahead of Dateline on NBC

Jenna Neulander's life turned upside down when she found her mother, Leslie Neulander, lying on the shower floor, covered in blood. Jeena was 23 on September 17, 2022, when the tragic events unfolded. She lived with her parents in a large mansion outside Syracuse, New York. Her father, Dr. Robert Neulander, a renowned obstetrician-gynecologist, claimed that Leslie had slipped and hit her head on the shower bench.

However, after the investigation, authorities arrested Dr. Robert Neulander for murder. He maintained his innocence, asserting that Leslie's death was an accident. Jenna Neulander also stood by her father during the trial and believed that he was innocent. Since the case, Jenna has kept her distance from the limelight and is believed to reside in New York.

The story was covered by the NBC investigative program Dateline, which released two episodes on the case, Dateline: Return to Shalimar Way in 2020 and Dateline: The House on Shalimar Way in 2022. The case was featured again on the program on December 27, 2024, at 9 p.m. Eastern Time.

Jenna Neulander's father was convicted for killing his wife

On September 17, 2022, Leslie Neulander was found dead in her house. Her injury was reported by her daughter, Jenna Neulander, who stated that her father had rushed to her and asked her to immediately call 911 for help. Her father moved Leslie's body to their room to perform CPR, despite Jenna pleading against it.

The police apprehended Robert Neulander for the murder of his wife and tampering with the evidence. The case went to trial, and he was found guilty, but the decision was overturned due to juror misconduct. During the trial, Jenna testified in support of her father.

In the second trial, Jenna Neulander did not testify on her father’s behalf but was present in the court. Robert was ultimately sentenced to 20 years to life for murder and up to four years for tampering with physical evidence.
