Today, on what would have been Dan Markel's birthday, STS honors the life, legacy, and tragic loss of the brilliant law professor whose story continues to impact so many. Dan Markel was a respected Florida State University law professor, a father, and a beloved member of the Tallahassee community—known for his sharp intellect and devotion to justice. In 2014, Dan's life was cut short when he was gunned down in his driveway in a shocking murder-for-hire plot that would later expose a tangled web of betrayal, greed, and family secrets. Years later, arrests and convictions—including those of Charlie Adelson, Donna Adelson, and others connected to the case—have brought new attention to the tragedy and the ongoing pursuit of justice. In this emotional STS True Crime Special, Emmy Award-winning journalist Joel Waldman reflects on Dan Markel's life, his impact on the legal world, and the loved ones keeping his memory alive. We look back on who Dan was—not just a victim, but a father, scholar, and man who inspired those around him. Join us in honoring Dan Markel's memory and exploring how his legacy continues to shape conversations about justice, family, and resilience. #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #STS #JoelWaldman #AdelsonCase #JusticeForDanMarkel #DonnaAdelson #CharlieAdelson #FSU #TallahasseeThanks for supporting the show and being a part of #STSNation! Donate to STS' Trial Travel: Https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GJ...VENMO: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcastCheck out STS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorEmail: SurvivingTheSurvivor@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It's another wild day in the world of crime and justice. Donna Adelson faces her final sentencing for the Dan Markel murder-for-hire plot, while Karen Read's legal team levels up in the ongoing civil suit. Plus, the week's strangest cases — from Halloween “decorations” gone wrong to Florida's latest jailhouse scandal. Scott Reisch breaks it all down with his signature no-nonsense insight.

Donna Adelson is back in court sooner than we thought. Donna Adelson, the matriarch of the Adelson family, was found guilty of the murder of her ex son in law and FSU Law Professor Dan Markel. Now her fate will be sealed as she finds out how long she'll serve--and what hope she has for the future. Donna isn't the first one in her family to be locked up for Dan Markel's murder. Her son, Charlie Adelson, is behind bars for life. Charlie and Donna were found to be the ring leaders of a murder for hire plot to help Wendi Adelson, Dan Markel's ex-wife, get custody of her two young boys and move back to Miami. The question now is will any other family members go down for the murder of Dan Markel? Thanks for supporting the show and being a part of #STSNation! Donate to STS' Trial Travel: Https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GJ...VENMO: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcastCheck out STS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorEmail: SurvivingTheSurvivor@gmail.com  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

With Donna Adelson in prison and Charlie Adelson serving a life sentence, the question on every legal watcher's mind is: could Wendi Adelson be next to face charges in the Dan Markel murder-for-hire plot?

With new pressure mounting, Donna's guilty plea on the record, and public scrutiny intensifying, this segment digs into the evidence that makes Wendi's role in this complex legal saga impossible to ignore. Join us as we analyze the twists and turns of this high-profile case and consider the question of who might still be held accountable.

Donna & Charlie Adelson Behind Bars: Tantrums, Tablets, and Toe Trauma-WEEK IN REVIEW Dan Markel was murdered in 2014 in one of the most shocking custody-related hit jobs in American legal history. Now that two of the key players—Donna and Charlie Adelson—are behind bars, how are they handling it? Spoiler: Not well. In this voice-driven episode of Hidden Killers, we pull the curtain back on life behind bars for the once-powerful Adelsons. Donna's jailhouse meltdown just nine days after her conviction is fully documented in prison logs—loud sobbing, door-pounding, and furious rants about judges and jurors, all while she unknowingly feeds jailhouse informants. Meanwhile, Charlie Adelson, convicted of murder, has his own jailhouse drama. Caught on video by Spill the Crime Tea, Charlie explodes over his big toe being run over by a jail door. He spews racial slurs, berates staff, then folds like a lawn chair when a lieutenant arrives. This isn't a story of redemption. It's the unraveling of a family that thought the rules didn't apply to them. We dig into: – The official jail logs documenting Donna's outbursts – Charlie's unhinged toe tirade caught on camera – What these behaviors tell us about entitlement, narcissism, and collapse – How the Adelsons are adjusting—or failing to—in the harsh reality of incarceration Welcome to the downfall. No more dental dynasty. Just inmate numbers, cold walls, and tablets that barely charge. Watch now and decide for yourself: are the Adelsons victims of injustice, or just finally out of excuses?

Disclaimer  This story is based on Dan Markel's 2014 family-court filings in Adelson v. Markel (Leon County, Florida). Everything described here comes from Dan's sworn motions and memoranda. These are allegations he made; they were never adjudicated by a court, because hearings were postponed and Dan was killed before they could be heard. Nothing here should be taken as established fact or judicial finding. In 2014, just months before his murder, Florida State University law professor Dan Markel filed a series of motions in his divorce case with Wendi Adelson. These documents were never adjudicated — the hearings were postponed, and Dan was killed before the court could address them. But what remains are Dan's own words, sworn and filed, laying out the version of events he wanted the judge to see. In this episode, we walk through those filings in detail. According to Dan, communication with his sons dwindled to almost nothing — just twenty-five minutes of Skype over three months. He alleged that calls were blocked, cut short, or pushed to voicemail. He claimed Wendi ignored court-ordered schedules, withheld addresses when traveling with the children, and cut him out of educational decisions. Dan also raised financial disputes. He alleged undisclosed accounts, understated income, and jewelry and vehicles listed at zero value. He even pointed to a Holocaust-era family ring, sworn to be returned if requested, that he said was withheld when his elderly uncle asked for it back. Beyond parenting and finances, Dan alleged a pattern of litigation tactics he described as obstructive: false testimony, frivolous motions, and discovery battles. To him, these weren't just disagreements — they were signs of control and concealment. These filings are allegations, not findings. They were Dan's story, his attempt to document the Wendi he said he had come to know. Tonight, we examine those court papers, what they reveal, and why Dan believed they mattered.

Wendi Adelson's trial testimony has many contradictions. In this episode, Jack Fox applies Statement Investigation to compare her court statements with what she told police in her original interview—and what she's said in trials since. From her unclear answers about using Whatsapp, to her changing explanation of who she was speaking to when she drove down Trescott Drive near the crime scene, Wendi's language reveals more than she might intend.Jack examines how her words shift over time, and how her flat emotional tone contrasts with the gravity of what she's describing. With the guilty verdicts for her brother Charlie and mother Donna Adelson, how much did Wendi know about the plot to kill Dan Markel. This is a forensic breakdown of testimony, interrogation, and cross examination—through the lens of languageWant more from Never A Truer Word?

New video footage from inside prison shows Charlie Adelson's tantrums and meltdowns, echoing the same entitled behavior his mother, Donna Adelson, displayed during her own trial and complaints from behind bars. In this STS breakdown, we explore the toxic mother-son dynamic that helped drive the murder-for-hire plot that killed Dan Markel. With both Charlie and Donna now convicted murderers, the disturbing family parallels are clearer than ever. Join STS Emmy Award-Winning Host Joel Waldman, and his Co-host and mom, Karmela Waldman. Joel and Karm will review and analyze Charlie and Donna, unravel their patterns, and continue to shine light on the fight for Justice for Dan Markel.*Special thanks to @Spillthecrime_Tea for Charlie's Video*Special thanks to @truelifestyles for Donna's logsThanks for supporting the show and being a part of #STSNation! Donate to STS' Trial Travel: Https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GJ...VENMO: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcastCheck out STS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorEmail: SurvivingTheSurvivor@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

All The Trauma You Can Eat! The Adelson's Buffet Of Crazy According to Wendi's Ex Jeff Lacasse has testified multiple times in cases tied to the murder of Dan Markel — and every appearance reveals fresh scars. In this segment, the hosts examine the raw, unfiltered pain in his testimony about his relationship with Wendi Adelson. Tony, Stacy, and Todd unpack why Lacasse's words still sound like therapy sessions a decade later. They discuss the manipulative games he endured, the trauma that lingers, and how his testimony paints Wendi in a light the jury can't ignore. Beyond Jeff's personal pain, they highlight how the Adelsons' choices created ripple effects that devastated not just Dan Markel's family, but anyone who crossed their path. It's a portrait of lasting damage — where courtrooms become confessionals and trauma repeats itself under oath.

Empty Chairs at the Adelsons' Holiday Table — What's Next for Wendi? The Adelson saga is far from over. In this segment, Tony, Stacy, and Todd go deeper into the family's fractured state. With multiple members behind bars for their roles in Dan Markel's murder, the spotlight shifts to Wendi Adelson and the children — still living under the shadow of the family name. The hosts ask: What does “normal” look like when your family is synonymous with crime? Do Wendi's kids grow up carrying the weight of their family's choices? And how do grandparents and extended family fit into a picture dominated by prison visits, court rulings, and headlines? This segment bridges into the bigger picture — how high-profile cases ripple through generations, altering not just public perception but the very fabric of family identity. The Adelsons aren't just defendants; they are now a case study in how crime poisons tradition, stability, and even the meaning of home.

Adelson Holidays From Hell: Will Wendi Celebrate Behind Bars? The Adelson family has gone from luxury dinners to prison visits. In this opening segment of Hidden Killers Live, Tony, Stacy, and Todd pivot from lighthearted fall banter into the dark reality facing the Adelsons after the Dan Markel murder-for-hire case. With Donna Adelson now convicted, Charlie behind bars, and Wendi still under public scrutiny, the question becomes: what do family holidays look like now? Are visits scheduled between prison walls the new “family gathering”? Do empty chairs haunt the table where an influential Florida family once sat? The conversation exposes how crime shatters more than lives — it unravels traditions, devastates children, and replaces once-celebrated rituals with surveillance, guards, and barbed wire. The Adelsons may not all be convicted, but the shadow of this case leaves no holiday untouched.

In the gripping second part of the Daniel Markel case we delve deeper into the intricate web of deceit surrounding the murder-for-hire plot. This episode focuses on the trials of the two masterminds behind the shocking crime: Charlie and Donna Adelson. Charlie Adelson's Trial: The episode begins with the conviction of Charlie Adelson. The state's case was built on compelling evidence, including audio recordings from a Miami restaurant where Charlie discussed killing a blackmailer or a police officer. The money trail connecting the Adelson family's dental practice to Katie Magbanua, the ex-girlfriend of the hitman, also played a crucial role. Charlie took the stand in his own defense, claiming he was being extorted by the hitmen. This defense was ultimately not believed by the jury, leading to his conviction for first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation. Donna Adelson's Arrest and Trial: Just seven days after her son's conviction, the matriarch, Donna Adelson, was arrested at Miami International Airport as she and her husband, Harvey, were attempting to flee to Vietnam, a non-extradition country. Key evidence against her included monitored phone calls where she discussed fleeing the country and a recording where she was overheard mulling over extradition policies and reading text messages from her daughter, Wendi. During her trial, testimony from her fellow inmates revealed her attempts to orchestrate false testimony and her admission of her role in the murder. The verdict was unforgettable, as Donna gasped dramatically when she was found guilty of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation, becoming the fifth person convicted in Dan's murder. The Family's Web of Lies: The podcast also uncovers new details about the involvement of other family members. Wendi Adelson, Dan's ex-wife, testified under immunity but was confronted with her past inconsistencies about her knowledge of the murder plot. It was also revealed that Donna and Wendi had a deep knowledge of Dan's daily routine, and Wendi's ex-boyfriend testified that she once mentioned Charlie looking into a hitman for $15,000. Legacy and Justice: The episode concludes with the powerful impact of the case on Dan Markel's parents, Ruth and Phil Markel. Their advocacy led to a new law and a long-awaited reunion with their grandsons. Thank you to this week's sponsors!

Were Wendy's Kids Pawns in the Adelson Murder Plot Of Dan Markel? Expert Weighs In When psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, the conversation shifts from testimony to analysis — and the insights are chilling. Scott explains how children in families like the Adelsons are often treated not as individuals but as pawns, used to meet the emotional needs of manipulative parents and grandparents. The discussion explores Wendy Adelson's choices through the lens of generational trauma and narcissistic control. Was Wendy repeating the patterns instilled in her by her mother, Donna Adelson? How does such an environment shape children who are caught in the crossfire of divorce, custody disputes, and — ultimately — violence? Blending professional expertise with raw personal reflections from Tony and his co-hosts, this segment delivers a powerful mix of true crime and psychology. Listeners are left with a deeper understanding of not just what happened, but why such destructive family dynamics can persist across generations — and the lasting scars they leave behind.

The Holocaust Ring Wendy Adelson Refused to Return! Dan Markel Divorce Bombshell Divorce filings can reveal more than testimony ever could. In this segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, the spotlight turns to Dan Markel's legal filings against Wendy Adelson — allegations that paint a picture of manipulation, secrecy, and unilateral control. From accusations of hidden accounts and blocked communication, to the shocking claim that Wendy refused to return a Holocaust family ring to Dan's relatives, these filings suggest behavior that went far beyond typical divorce disputes. Tony and Shavaun Scott examine what these allegations reveal about the Adelson family's mindset and how material objects, like the Holocaust ring, can become symbols of dominance in toxic relationships. Listeners are reminded that while these were never adjudicated in court due to Dan's murder, the filings remain powerful indicators of how bitter and destructive the conflict had become. This segment reveals the financial and emotional battleground that formed the backdrop to one of the most notorious true crime cases in recent history.

Across nearly two hours, Tony and his co-hosts take listeners step-by-step through the evidence, allegations, and personal dynamics that continue to haunt one of the most infamous true crime cases in America.

The infamous “broken TV” alibi, Charlie Adelson's chilling jokes, and Donna Adelson's overbearing control are all dissected with sharp analysis. Adding psychological expertise, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins the panel to examine how children in families like the Adelsons become pawns in a generational cycle of control, trauma, and manipulation. Together, the team asks the toughest questions: Was Wendy a mastermind, a victim, or both? And what hope do her children have of escaping the shadow of this dark legacy? If you want the full story — start to finish — this is it. A true crime deep dive blending legal analysis, psychological insight, and raw conversation.

Wendy Adelson's Divorce From Dan Markel: Secrets REVEALED! In this opening segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, the foundation of the Dan Markel murder case is laid bare. Before the shooting, before the arrests, before the shocking headlines, there was a bitter divorce — and in those filings, a story of manipulation, alienation, and escalating conflict begins to emerge. Tony breaks down the allegations Dan Markel leveled against Wendy Adelson during their divorce, exploring how these disputes over custody, communication, and money paint a picture of mounting tension between two very different visions of family life. The discussion also touches on how divorce itself often becomes a destructive force. Tony and his co-hosts reflect on the way emotions can spiral, how costly legal battles can take on lives of their own, and how bitterness can consume everyone involved. The Adelson case may be extreme, but its roots — the ugly side of family court — are painfully relatable for many listeners. With this backdrop set, the stage is prepared for the testimony of Wendy's ex-boyfriend, Jeff Lacasse, whose perspective adds a deeply personal layer to the unraveling of the Adelson family's secrets. This first segment is both context and cautionary tale: when divorce becomes a weapon, lives can be destroyed long before a crime is ever committed.

Jeff LaCasse Testifies: Wendy Adelson's Strange Behavior Before Murder When Jeff LaCasse stepped into the courtroom, his testimony peeled back a layer of Wendy Adelson's world that had rarely been seen. In this segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, listeners hear how Jeff described Wendy's constant distress, her fixation on custody battles, and her emotional volatility during the weeks before Dan Markel's murder. The details are unsettling: sudden trip cancellations, meltdowns triggered by legal filings, and a persistent sense of dread that seemed to hang over Wendy's every move. Tony and his co-hosts dissect this testimony carefully, connecting Wendy's behavior to the broader timeline of the case. Was this simply the stress of a messy divorce, or were these signs of something darker brewing in the background? The conversation avoids sensationalism, instead focusing on what the testimony reveals about human behavior under pressure — and how the actions of one family, guided by resentment and control, created a powder keg waiting to explode. For those following the Markel case closely, this segment highlights how important small details can be in understanding the larger picture.

The Broken TV Alibi: Was Wendy Adelson Setting the Stage For Murder? It's one of the strangest details in the Dan Markel case: a broken television that just happened to become part of Wendy Adelson's alibi. In this segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, the team unpacks Jeff LaCasse' testimony about visiting Wendy's home, only to discover her TV was mysteriously shattered. At first glance, it might seem like a household accident — but the timing, the context, and the surrounding testimony suggest something far more sinister. Charlie Adelson's dark joke that buying a TV was “cheaper than hiring a hitman” adds an eerie layer of foreshadowing. Add to that a Geek Squad repair appointment allegedly arranged by Donna Adelson, and the entire broken-TV narrative begins to look less like coincidence and more like stagecraft. Tony and the panel explore how small, seemingly random events can take on disturbing significance when placed under the microscope of a murder trial. Could this broken television have been part of a carefully manufactured alibi? Was it a way to distract investigators and provide cover at the exact time Dan Markel was gunned down? This segment offers an unsettling look at how far the Adelsons may have gone to cover their tracks.

Inside Wendy Adelson's Explosive Fight With Her Boyfriend Jeff Lacasse Jeff Lacasse's relationship with Wendy Adelson was anything but stable. In this segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, listeners are taken inside a critical fight in Gainesville, where Jeff's suspicions of infidelity and Wendy's manipulative promises collided in a heated argument. From promises that Jeff would soon be “Daddy” to her children, to sudden cold shoulders and disappearing acts, Wendy's behavior painted the portrait of a woman living in contradictions. The hosts analyze what this rollercoaster dynamic says about Wendy's psychological state and the influence of her family. Was she stringing Jeff along to serve a hidden agenda? Was her erratic treatment of him a reflection of deeper turmoil as the Markel case inched toward tragedy? This segment underscores how personal relationships can reveal truths that legal filings alone cannot. Through Jeff's testimony, the audience gains a clearer picture of the chaos and volatility surrounding Wendy Adelson in the final months before Dan Markel's murder — and how even intimate relationships were twisted into the larger web of manipulation.

In this episode, we delve into the shocking murder of Harvard-educated law professor Dan Markel. His life was cut short in a targeted hit that investigators believe was a murder-for-hire plot. This is more than just a true crime drama; it's a story of a devoted father and brilliant legal scholar caught in a bitter family feud that spiraled into something unthinkable. Dan's divorce from his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson, became an all-out war over the custody of their two young sons and relocation to South Florida. You'll hear about the powerful and controlling Adelson family, specifically Wendy's parents, Donna and Harvey, and her brother, Charlie, who had an "obsession" with their hatred of Dan. As the story unfolds, you'll discover disturbing emails from Donna Adelson detailing a plan to manipulate Dan, including using his Jewish faith against him, and even joking about dressing the children in Hitler Youth uniforms. The police investigation quickly turned to the Adelson family after Wendy made some unusual comments and her boyfriend, Jeff Lacasse, urged them to look into her family. The timing of the murder, which took place just after a hearing on family control was set, was not lost on investigators, who saw a clear motive for murder. After his death, Wendy quickly moved their children to Miami and cut off contact with Dan's parents. Join us for Part 1 of this unbelievable case as we explore the chilling details that lead to the death of Dan Markel.
