148. Dave Markel: Reflections and Impacts This week, since there's not guest again, I want to take a moment to reflect on the growth and impact of the podcast. I am deeply grateful for the unwavering support from all my listeners, whose commitment has fueled the show's success and exponential growth. Whether long-time listeners or relatively new to the show, your passion and dedication are what have made SASS what it is today. I also want to emphasize the importance of normalizing the conversation around rape and sexual assault. By creating a safe space for survivors to share their stories, SASS works to remove the stigma and silence that too often surrounds sexual violence. This episode highlights the vital role that all of you play in breaking down barriers, supporting healing journeys, and fostering an environment where these difficult topics can be openly discussed without shame or judgment. Finally, I discuss the significance of becoming trauma-informed, not just for professionals, but for everyone. Understanding the effects of trauma—whether in the workplace, at home, or in our communities—is essential in offering empathy and support. As always, I want to encourage you to continue sharing the podcast to help spread awareness, normalize these crucial conversations, and ensure no survivor feels alone. An important side note: if you're finding value in these episodes, please take a moment to leave a 5-star rating on your podcast platform. AND, please send me a note of support. I can't tell you how much your emails mean to me—they fuel my passion to keep this podcast going. Here's my email address:   Thank you to all of you who have reached out to me already!! Please keep those emails and texts coming…I truly look forward to hearing from you! On another note: I am a strong advocate and supporter of Survivor School (SS), founded and directed by CEO Arci Grey (another former guest on SASS). In fact, Arci has made me a consultant to SS as she maneuvers the intricacies of directing and managing the content and growth of her amazing organization. I encourage you to strongly consider becoming a member of SS, and as an affiliate would appreciate it, if you do decide to become a member, to use this link:  Thanks again for listening! As always, listed below are some additional important and meaningful websites I hope you'll take a look at and learn more about.    My email address:  As mentioned and emphasized, it's time to Normalize the Conversation.™  And please remember to Start by Believing…because we all know someone whose life has been impacted by rape or sexual assault. Thank you for tuning in.

It's not that hard to kill a planet. All it takes is a little drilling, some mining, a generous helping of pollution and voila! Earth over. When you take stock of what's left, it starts to look like a crime scene: decapitated mountains, poisoned rivers, oil-soaked pelicans, maybe a sun-bleached cow skull in a dried-up lake bed. The only thing missing is yellow caution tape. On each episode of Lawless Planet, host Zach Goldbaum reveals the scams, murders and cover-ups on the frontline of the climate crisis, and the life and death choices people are making to either protect our world – or destroy it.Listen to Lawless Planet: Wondery.fm/LawlessPlanetSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dan Markel, a respected Florida State University law professor, was tragically murdered on July 18, 2014, in a “murder‑for‑hire” ambush outside his Tallahassee home. After a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife Wendi Adelson—centered on her desire to relocate their two sons to South Florida—a conspiracy unfolded. Investigators uncovered that Wendi's brother, Charlie Adelson, allegedly arranged the hit, funneling payments through his then-girlfriend Katherine Magbanua. Magbanua then enlisted Sigfredo “Tuto” Garcia, who shot Markel in the head, while accomplice Luis Rivera helped orchestrate the setup. The crime was tracked down through surveillance of a rented Prius, phone and GPS data, and an undercover FBI operation that recorded coded phone calls involving Charlie and his mother, Donna Adelson. Ultimately, Garcia and Magbanua received life sentences, Rivera got 19 years for his plea and testimony, and Charlie was convicted in November 2023 on first‑degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation charges. Now Donna Adelson will go on trial in August of 2025.More of STS:Links: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSTS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTubeVenmo Donations: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcast

Our guest today is a Harvard- and Oxford-educated entrepreneur, investor, and international speaker. [3:57] On Tuesday, August 5th, he'll kick off the Inaugural RIMS Texas Regional Conference with his keynote, “Your Insurance Policy for Success: Eight Mental Toughness Lessons I've Learned from Running 100 Miles Through the Mountains.” [4:10] His name is Huw Edwards. He is the founder of multiple ventures, including Jungle Disk and CyberFortress. We're going to get a preview of his keynote and learn about his risk philosophies and risk journey. [4:21] Interview! Huw Edwards, welcome to RIMScast! [4:36] Huw is excited to be on RIMScast and to be opening the RIMS Texas Regional Conference in August. Justin loves going to Texas and is looking forward to the conference. [5:01] Huw comes from Wales. His accent comes from living in about 16 parts of the U.S. [5:55] Growing up, Huw was good with numbers. After college, being a mathematician, he landed a job with Goldman Sachs in a derivatives group. He helped big corporations manage their financial risks. [6:54] Huw tells about buying his first business. When he sold it, he didn't have the attachment of having founded it. He took it on a journey and then sold it to a private equity firm that joined it with several other companies to create a much bigger platform. [7:52] Huw is a “reluctant entrepreneur.” He was not a teenage businessman. He was good at school and at doing work. The first business he bought was a profitable going concern with existing customers. It was a business unit in a big company, stuck in a corner. [8:39] Huw saw it had wonderful economics and just had to be invested in. It had sticky customers. It was very profitable. It needed some love, care, and attention. That was Huw's easy transition into entrepreneurship. He bought the business in 2016. [9:00] In 2017, customers started asking where they could buy Bitcoin. Customers were asking about Bitcoin because they were victims of a ransomware attack that demanded Bitcoins to unlock their computers. Huw's company had backups of its clients' data. [10:00] This circumstance pulled the company into the world of cyber insurance. It was a new field. Huw's company served small businesses and helped them protect their data. Managing their clients' data, they realized they could do the job better. [10:53] Huw says two things connect him to the RIMS Texas Regional Conference. The Insurance Company, USAA, is in San Antonio. Another insurance company, Argo, was there for a time. In 2018, RISKWORLD was held in San Antonio. [11:30] In 2018, Huw and partners incubated an MGA within a large company. They showed up at RISKWORLD to do customer testing and exploration. Coming back to a RIMS conference as a keynote speaker is a full-circle journey for Huw. [12:11] Huw's company was CyberFortress. It was spun out from Jungle Disk, a larger company. Huw raised a bunch of VC money and swung for the fences, but didn't find a product market fit there. They had built a solution, looking for a problem. It was a character-building experience. [13:06] It gave Huw some great insight, working with the insurance company. They launched their insurance policy in Texas, backed by Markel. The challenge was that it wasn't well-positioned, and people didn't buy it. [13:29] Huw believes the greatest opportunity for risk managers in today's cybersecurity landscape is to understand that the big factor is human behavior. You can buy systems, but it comes down to the people running those systems. [13:52] The successful cyber insurance offerings and cybersecurity firms largely help, train, monitor, and guide behavior to avoid clients doing the dumb stuff. Don't click on dumb stuff. [14:14] Risk managers are now interested in AI. AI is just another very powerful tool that can give you a lot of leverage. You can't outsource responsibility to AI, but it can do a lot of things. You can leverage those things. [15:01] Companies are looking for employees who are AI-first. Your comfort with AI will be a deciding factor that separates the people who are promoted or kept on.  [16:12] Huw thinks risk managers get a bad rap. Huw worked for Bridgewater. When he took the job, he was given a lot of books on managing risk. He learned you're not trying to eliminate risk but trying to manage it. How do you take advantage of risk? How do you scale risk exposure? [16:59] How do you mitigate the catastrophic risk or existential risk that could kill, but be open to riding the waves of the lesser risks that could give great upsides? [17:18] Risk managers can be seen as Negative Nancy, saying no. But risk management can enable. [17:47] Huw will talk about his long-distance running. He is also a big Formula 1 fan. Formula 1 cars can go really fast. What makes the Formula 1 car go fast around the track is good brakes. Like brakes in a car, risk management can make something go faster, braking when needed. [18:55] Plugs with Roma Rishi, Sr. Sales Executive, Origami Risk! Origami Risk is excited to be a sponsor at the RIMS Texas Regional Conference. Origami Risk will have a booth there to demonstrate their products. They will also speak at one of the sessions. [19:35] They will be talking with Roy Hock, the Director of Excess Insurance at Valero Energy, about leveraging technology to manage your captive. See Origami at its table, at its session, or both! [19:48] Origami Risk will be at the RIMS Texas Regional Conference from August 4th through August 6th. Origami Risk will also be at the tenth Chicagoland Risk Forum, on September 18th at the Old Post Office in Chicago. [20:02] Origami Risk will have a booth there, and Roma's colleague, Gina Rothweiler, is going to be speaking. Come find Origami Risk at the Chicagoland Risk Forum! [20:10] Registration is complimentary for members of risk management departments in the nearby area. A link to the registration page is in this episode's show notes. You can visit ChicagoRIMS.org as well. [20:33] On October 1st through the 3rd, Origami Risk will be in the Bay Area, California, for the RIMS Western Regional Conference. They will have a booth and will speak at a session with the Risk Manager of Sprouts about leveraging data and technology for productive risk management. [21:02] Origami Risk will be at RIMS ERM, on November 17th and 18th in Seattle, Washington. That agenda is being built. Origami Risk will have a kiosk and hope to speak, too. [21:22] Origami Risk will have a presence at the 2025 Florida RIMS Educational Conference from July 29th through August 2nd. Connect with Roma's colleague Alex and Origami Risk there. [21:37] Roma, it's always great to see you and the Origami Risk team. [21:45] Connect with Roma and Origami Risk online at LinkedIn and OrigamiRisk.com, in the Contact Us area. [21:52] Let's Return to the Conclusion of My Interview with RIMS Texas Keynote Speaker Huw Edwards! [22:01] On Tuesday, August 5th, at 9:00 a.m., Huw Edwards will kick off the RIMS Texas Regional with his keynote address. He will talk about personal experiences, which include several ultramarathons.  [22:54] For Huw, it was the challenge and the uncertainty that drew him to ultramarathons. When you line up on the start line of a marathon, you might not know how well you'll do that day, but by and large, you know you'll finish. [23:40] Huw found himself drawn to these 100-mile races, in the mountains, going up and down, on trails, at altitude. It's an eating and hydration competition, and getting your electrolytes right. It's about managing the heat of the day and the cold of the night. [24:18] It's about your stomach going South, or rolling an ankle. You can have a belief on the start line that you will finish, but you don't know what's going to happen that day. It's a somewhat controlled, uncontrollable environment. It's less complex than risk management. [25:01] In risk management, you have hundreds of thousands or millions of human players and economic actors interacting. When you're running, you have yourself, knowing how hard you can push, but you don't know what the weather will bring. It's a microcosm of the game of life. [25:39] The lessons are huge. We somehow think we can control everything in life, or we try. In running this kind of distance, things just go wrong. You can't control everything, so how do you learn how to respond? That's what keeps Huw coming back to ultramarathons. [26:07] Justin sees the parallels with risk management; you're striving for greatness, but sometimes you have to settle for goodness. [26:27] You don't go all in from the start. You have to pace yourself. The races have a time cutoff. If you are too conservative, you won't get there. In risk management, if you try to mitigate all risk, you'll have to pay through the nose for insurance. It's a judgment call. [27:28] In ultramarathons, you navigate emotional highs and lows. No matter how you're feeling, good or bad, it won't last. When you're running great, enjoy it; it's not going to last. When you feel terrible, that will pass, too. [27:53] That's a glimpse of part of the keynote. Justin says it's great that Huw has risk experience and has been to RISKWORLD. [28:18] Huw has a theme, smiling on the outside, suffering on the inside. For a long time, he tried to put a brave face on things. It's OK to suffer at times, acknowledge it, and not paper over the cracks of your feelings. It's OK to be authentic. Huw will touch on that in the keynote. [28:54] Sometimes you learn a lot in those moments of suffering. Huw will talk about the pain cave. At some point in an ultramarathon, you enter the pain cave. This term was made famous by one of the greatest ultra runners, Courtney Dauwalter. [29:28] When Courtney Dauwalter talks about the pain cave, she says she used to try to push it off and delay the inevitable moment of going into the pain cave. But the whole point is to experience that edge. [29:48] So you welcome the pain cave. It was meant to hurt. What can we learn about it? [30:06] Huw will take questions at the end of his keynote. Everyone can go to the link in this episode's show notes for the registration page for the RIMS Texas Regional Conference. [30:18] Huw, it was such a pleasure to meet you! I can't wait to see you live on stage on August 5th. [30:29] Special thanks again to Huw Edwards for joining us here on RIMScast! He will be kicking off the RIMS Texas Regional Conference 2025.

Meanwhile, Katie Magbanua is making headlines with a bold new attempt to appeal her murder conviction in the same high-profile case--she was denied but pointed the finger at Wendi Adelson. Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #truecrime and breaking news coverage of the biggest cases. STS host Emmy award-winning journalist Joel waldman and STS #BestGuests will break down the appeal attempt and the exhibit list that could take Donna down. In this gripping true-crime update, our episode focused on the 2014 murder-for-hire of FSU law professor Dan Markel, who shot in his Tallahassee garage amid a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife Wendi Adelson. Prosecutors allege his ex–brother-in-law, Charlie Adelson, orchestrated the killing via Katherine Magbanua and hired hitmen. Now, Donna Adelson, Markel's former mother‑in‑law, is scheduled for trial in August 2025, facing charges of murder, conspiracy, and solicitation, with prosecutors are preparing to unveil 133 pieces of evidence and intense pre‑trial motions have caught the attention of the nation.⸻ #Support the show:All Things STS: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSTS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivor#breakingnews #bryankohberger #trial #truecrimecommunity #murdermystery #murdermystery2#criminaljustice #newsupdateCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTubeVenmo Donations: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcast

In this solo episode of Sexual Assault Survivor Stories (The SASS Podcast), host Dave Markel takes the mic alone to deliver a powerful, reflective, and informative monologue. While there's no guest again this week, the episode is anything but empty. Instead, it offers a thoughtful exploration of recent survivor stories making headlines, along with an in-depth look at survivor-led advocacy, cultural change, and resources for healing. Dave begins by spotlighting three courageous individuals: Alex Cooper, host of Call Her Daddy, who recently spoke out about the harassment she endured as a Division I athlete at Boston University; Tina Johnson, a Roy Moore accuser whose home was destroyed under suspicious circumstances after she came forward; and Nicky Campbell, a UK broadcaster whose disclosure of childhood abuse sparked a wave of similar testimonies from others silenced for decades. Each of these stories reveals the complex layers of trauma—ranging from institutional betrayal to physical triggers—and illustrates how public disclosures can ignite change and connection. The episode also honors the work of prominent survivor-advocates like Amanda Nguyen, founder of , who authored the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act (passed unanimously by Congress in 2016). Nguyen's legislation has inspired over 67 similar laws across the U.S., while her global What Were You Wearing? exhibits continue to dismantle victim-blaming narratives in powerful and public ways. Also highlighted is Chanel Miller, formerly known as “Emily Doe” in the Brock Turner case, whose viral victim impact statement and bestselling memoir, Know My Name, redefined the survivor's voice in modern discourse. This episode closes by offering a collection of vital resources for survivors. If you or someone you know is in need of support, please reach out: ·       – 24/7 hotline: 800-656-HOPE ·       – Support specifically for male survivors ·       – Education and national hotline for harassment survivors ·       – Survivor-led legislative training and advocacy ·       Even without a traditional interview, this episode is filled with substance, reflection, and a deep commitment to the healing process. It's a powerful reminder that survivor stories don't stop when the mic does—and that advocacy can take many forms, including quiet reflection. This one is for every voice that hasn't been heard yet—and every listener who's ready to believe, support, and speak up.

A new trial date has been set for Donna Adelson — August 19. But a secret investigation and recent wiretaps could have major consequences for the rest of the Adelson family. #STSNation, Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime on trending criminal cases. This is the twisted murder-for-hire that started it all — the case of Dan Markel. Dan Markel was shot and killed moments after he pulled up his driveway and into his garage. He died the next day. Now, almost 11 years later the story is still unraveling as alleged co-conspirators, like Donna Adelson, are going on trial one by one. Markel was killed in Tallahassee, Florida, in 2014, in a murder for hire in what prosecutors say was motivated by child custody issues with Markel's ex-wife, Wendi Adelson. Wendi Adelson's brother, Charlie Adelson, was convicted of the murder of Dan Markel in 2023 just days before his mother, Donna Adelson, was also arrested. We're now learning that Donna Adelson's trial, which was supposed to start in June 2025, is now set to begin August 19, but major questions still remain. A hearing is scheduled this Friday, and at the center of it all: • An apparent secret investigation involving new wiretaps that went through February 2024 • Speculation is mounting that the case may expand beyond Donna and Charlie • What could this mean for the other Adelsons like Wendi and Harvey?#BestGuests: Jeremy Mutz, former Leon County prosecutor and current criminal defense attorney Dr. Melissa Hamilton Law Professor Jo Potuto

80,000 Emails, Wiretaps & Jailhouse Informants - Donna Adelson Trial Delayed AGAIN! The upcoming murder trial of Donna Adelson has taken a stunning turn—and we're breaking it down from the inside. Just weeks before jury selection was set to begin, the trial was abruptly delayed after prosecutors dumped a massive trove of newly uncovered evidence: over 80,000 emails, months of wiretap recordings, and what may include explosive jailhouse informant testimony. This isn't just a case of courtroom scheduling chaos—this is a criminal case unraveling in real time. In this episode, we dissect the dramatic chain of events that led Judge Stephen Everett to cancel the June 3rd trial date. We'll explore how a mysterious tip in late 2024 led the state to quietly reopen the investigation into Donna Adelson, months after her arrest and nearly a decade after the murder of Florida State law professor Dan Markel. What did they find? Why was the defense blindsided? And what do 16 sealed court filings in a single month suggest about what's coming next? From the recusal attempt against the judge, to the pending change of venue motion, to the possibility that Donna Adelson's own words were caught on wiretap, this is the inside story of how one of the most high-profile murder-for-hire cases in America just got even darker. Whether you're following the Markel murder saga from day one or you're just now diving into the twisted legal fallout, this video unpacks every new twist in the Donna Adelson case—and what it could mean when this trial finally hits the courtroom.

#STSNation! Welcome to the show that promises to bring you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime on trending criminal cases. Wendi Adelson once called her ex-husband, Dan Markel, her “latex spouse” in a writer's workshop—not long after his murder. Now her novel, This Is Our Story, is potentially at the center of her mother Donna Adelson's upcoming murder-for-hire trial. As the judge weighs whether Wendi's novel should be admissible as evidence, STS dives deep into its pages. We're joined by two leading psychologists and a sharp legal mind to analyze Wendi's fiction—and whether it offers a disturbing window into real-life motives and family dynamics. Did the novel foreshadow Dan's murder? Is Lily, the main character, actually Wendi? And what does it say that she removed the Markel name from her children post-murder? Get ready for a chilling breakdown of blurred lines between fiction and real-life tragedy.#WendiAdelson #ThisIsOurStory #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #CharlieAdelson #MurderForHire #FSULaw #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #SurvivingTheSurvivor #JusticeForDanMarkel #LegalDrama #CrimeBookAnalysis #TrueCrimeCommunityGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxAll Things STS: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTube

Did Wendi Adelson Know? Breaking Down the Allegations in the Dan Markel Case Did Wendi Adelson Know? Breaking Down the Allegations in the Dan Markel Case The murder of Florida State law professor Dan Markel was a shocking crime that unraveled into a twisted murder-for-hire plot allegedly orchestrated by members of his ex-wife Wendi Adelson's family. But despite multiple convictions—including those of hitmen, intermediaries, and most recently her own brother, Charlie Adelson—one question still lingers: Why hasn't Wendi Adelson been charged? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the allegations, the evidence, and the legal barriers that have kept Wendi free, even as those around her have fallen. We'll examine the custody battle and family feud that led up to the murder, the suspicious actions and statements Wendi made before and after Markel's death, and why investigators labeled her an unindicted co-conspirator. We'll also break down the phone records, the infamous “hitman joke,” and the controversial immunity deal that has made prosecution more difficult. What did Wendi know? Did she actively participate, or was she just a bystander who benefited from the crime? With the upcoming trial of Donna Adelson, Wendi's mother, new evidence could emerge that finally answers the question of whether Wendi was involved in this carefully planned execution. Could she still face charges? And if so, what would it take for prosecutors to make a move? This is the full story behind one of the most infamous murder cases in recent history—and why it's far from over. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Motions, Motives, and Markel: Donna Adelson's Legal Moves Donna Adelson's legal team is back in action, firing off another motion to keep certain evidence out of her trial. This time, they're aiming to block the divorce records of her daughter, Wendi Adelson, and her slain former son-in-law, Dan Markel. According to Donna's attorneys, these documents—stacked over 560 pages deep—have absolutely nothing to do with her or any alleged involvement in a conspiracy to murder Markel. Now, let's be clear—Dan Markel and Wendi Adelson's divorce wasn't just some routine paperwork shuffle. Markel filed for divorce in September of 2012. Things got tense when Wendi moved their children while Markel was out of town, a move that later backfired when her legal attempts to permanently relocate them were denied. About a year later, the divorce was finalized, but custody issues continued to simmer beneath the surface. Donna's legal team is trying to paint this as a standard divorce between two well-educated professionals—no major custody battles, no claims of abuse, just a clean break. But prosecutors see it differently. They argue the divorce set the stage for something much darker. The state has leaned on this divorce to establish a motive, framing it as a bitter battle over the children that may have fueled the murder plot. Donna's team, on the other hand, insists this is a “false narrative,” an attempt to inject drama where there was none. And if you think this is just about legal wrangling over paperwork, think again. A judge recently shut down Donna's request for bond, pointing to her attempt to board a one-way international flight as a pretty strong indicator she's not exactly eager to stick around for trial. Meanwhile, a separate hearing is on the horizon to determine whether Donna should be kept from seeing her grandchildren without supervision. So while her attorneys fight to keep the divorce file out of the courtroom, prosecutors will argue it's a key piece of the puzzle. One thing's for sure—when Donna Adelson stands trial this summer, the fight over what evidence makes it in could be just as fierce as the case itself. #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #LegalDrama #JusticeForMarkel Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

RAW COURT AUDIO: DONNA ADELSON HEARING PART 4 Donna Adelson, the Florida woman accused of orchestrating the murder-for-hire plot against her former son-in-law, Dan Markel, claims she and her husband, Harvey Adelson, intended to travel to Vietnam to “catch their breath” before turning themselves in, not to escape justice. Adelson, 75, made the stunning revelation during a court appearance in Leon County, where she sought her release from jail. Dressed in a purple jumpsuit and shackled, she testified that her husband suggested the trip to Vietnam—where they had previously vacationed—after their son, Dr. Charlie Adelson, was convicted for hiring hitmen to kill Markel in 2014. “I wasn't afraid of being arrested,” Adelson stated in court, according to CourtTV. “My husband and I—literally shocked and traumatized at what had happened to Charlie—he said, ‘We need to just get some peace, we need to catch our breath, we're gonna go away somewhere.'” In November 2023, authorities arrested the couple at Miami International Airport as they prepared to board a flight to Vietnam via Dubai. Both Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates lack extradition agreements with the United States. Law enforcement officials viewed the move as an attempt to flee prosecution. Despite the circumstances, Adelson maintained they had every intention of returning to the U.S. voluntarily. “If we go to a non-extradition country, then if law enforcement decided that they wanted to arrest you or me, we won't be sitting in a foreign prison waiting months to go back,” she recalled her husband saying. She insisted they understood what their trip might look like to authorities but believed traveling to Vietnam would provide them with a chance to clear their heads before turning themselves in. “I thought it was a good idea because I just couldn't think straight,” Adelson told the court. The case stems from the 2014 murder of Markel, a Florida State University law professor who was embroiled in a bitter custody dispute with his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson, Donna's daughter. Wendi had wanted to move with their two children from Tallahassee to South Florida, a request Markel had fought in court. Prosecutors allege that Donna and her son Charlie conspired to have Markel killed to resolve the family's custody battle. The case remained unsolved for years until law enforcement arrested Charlie Adelson in April 2022. In November 2023, a jury convicted him of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation. Prosecutors proved he had hired gang members Sigfredo Garcia and Luis Rivera to carry out the hit. Garcia, the triggerman, is serving a life sentence, while Rivera, who cooperated with authorities, received a 19-year sentence. Garcia's ex-wife, Katherine Magbanua, who had been dating Charlie Adelson at the time, was also convicted and sentenced to life in prison for her role in arranging the murder. Charlie Adelson's conviction appeared to trigger his parents' attempt to leave the country just two weeks later. “I wanted to get away, he wanted to get away. That's what we wanted to do,” Donna Adelson said of her husband. She testified that she had consulted with her lawyers before the trip and was assured that there were no active warrants or charges against them. “I thought if you asked your attorneys and they tell you that, I'm going,” she said. Despite allegedly being warned they could be stopped at the airport, the couple proceeded with their travel plans—only to be intercepted by authorities before boarding their flight. With her son convicted and her own trial ahead, Adelson continues to fight the charges, maintaining that her travel plans were not an attempt to flee justice but rather a desperate attempt to process what had happened to her family. #FloridaCrime #TrueCrime #DanMarkel #MurderForHire #DonnaAdelson #FSU #Justice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Garcia, the triggerman, is serving a life sentence, while Rivera, who cooperated with authorities, received a 19-year sentence. Garcia's ex-wife, Katherine Magbanua, who had been dating Charlie Adelson at the time, was also convicted and sentenced to life in prison for her role in arranging the murder. Charlie Adelson's conviction appeared to trigger his parents' attempt to leave the country just two weeks later. “I wanted to get away, he wanted to get away. That's what we wanted to do,” Donna Adelson said of her husband. She testified that she had consulted with her lawyers before the trip and was assured that there were no active warrants or charges against them. “I thought if you asked your attorneys and they tell you that, I'm going,” she said. Despite allegedly being warned they could be stopped at the airport, the couple proceeded with their travel plans—only to be intercepted by authorities before boarding their flight. With her son convicted and her own trial ahead, Adelson continues to fight the charges, maintaining that her travel plans were not an attempt to flee justice but rather a desperate attempt to process what had happened to her family. #FloridaCrime #TrueCrime #DanMarkel #MurderForHire #DonnaAdelson #FSU #Justice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

RAW COURT AUDIO: DONNA ADELSON HEARING PART 3 Donna Adelson, the Florida woman accused of orchestrating the murder-for-hire plot against her former son-in-law, Dan Markel, claims she and her husband, Harvey Adelson, intended to travel to Vietnam to “catch their breath” before turning themselves in, not to escape justice. Adelson, 75, made the stunning revelation during a court appearance in Leon County, where she sought her release from jail. Dressed in a purple jumpsuit and shackled, she testified that her husband suggested the trip to Vietnam—where they had previously vacationed—after their son, Dr. Charlie Adelson, was convicted for hiring hitmen to kill Markel in 2014. “I wasn't afraid of being arrested,” Adelson stated in court, according to CourtTV. “My husband and I—literally shocked and traumatized at what had happened to Charlie—he said, ‘We need to just get some peace, we need to catch our breath, we're gonna go away somewhere.'” In November 2023, authorities arrested the couple at Miami International Airport as they prepared to board a flight to Vietnam via Dubai. Both Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates lack extradition agreements with the United States. Law enforcement officials viewed the move as an attempt to flee prosecution. Despite the circumstances, Adelson maintained they had every intention of returning to the U.S. voluntarily. “If we go to a non-extradition country, then if law enforcement decided that they wanted to arrest you or me, we won't be sitting in a foreign prison waiting months to go back,” she recalled her husband saying. She insisted they understood what their trip might look like to authorities but believed traveling to Vietnam would provide them with a chance to clear their heads before turning themselves in. “I thought it was a good idea because I just couldn't think straight,” Adelson told the court. The case stems from the 2014 murder of Markel, a Florida State University law professor who was embroiled in a bitter custody dispute with his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson, Donna's daughter. Wendi had wanted to move with their two children from Tallahassee to South Florida, a request Markel had fought in court. Prosecutors allege that Donna and her son Charlie conspired to have Markel killed to resolve the family's custody battle. The case remained unsolved for years until law enforcement arrested Charlie Adelson in April 2022. In November 2023, a jury convicted him of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation.

The Dan Markel murder case started as a tragic crime and spiraled into one of the most complex murder-for-hire investigations in modern legal history. What appeared to be a straightforward hit soon unraveled into a tangled web of family drama, money, and manipulation. At the center of it all is the powerful Adelson family—who allegedly conspired to have Markel killed to free their daughter, Wendi, from a bitter custody battle. Now, years after the crime, shocking new testimony from behind bars threatens to rewrite the entire narrative. Donna Adelson, the family matriarch, claims that the real mastermind may not have been her son Charlie but rather someone much closer to the crime—someone who had their own reasons to keep the scheme going. Is she finally revealing the truth, or is this just a last-ditch effort to shift the blame? From the moment Markel was ambushed in his driveway to the courtroom drama that saw multiple convictions and life sentences, this is the full, gripping story of a case that refuses to die.

The Dan Markel murder case started as a tragic crime and spiraled into one of the most complex murder-for-hire investigations in modern legal history. What appeared to be a straightforward hit soon unraveled into a tangled web of family drama, money, and manipulation. At the center of it all is the powerful Adelson family—who allegedly conspired to have Markel killed to free their daughter, Wendi, from a bitter custody battle. Now, years after the crime, shocking new testimony from behind bars threatens to rewrite the entire narrative. Donna Adelson, the family matriarch, claims that the real mastermind may not have been her son Charlie but rather someone much closer to the crime—someone who had their own reasons to keep the scheme going. Is she finally revealing the truth, or is this just a last-ditch effort to shift the blame? From the moment Markel was ambushed in his driveway to the courtroom drama that saw multiple convictions and life sentences, this is the full, gripping story of a case that refuses to die. Every secret, every backroom deal, every wiretapped conversation—laid bare. With each new revelation, the truth becomes murkier, and the fight for justice continues.
