As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we're breaking down the most calculated—and sometimes downright desperate—moves by Donna Adelson, the matriarch at the center of Florida's most infamous murder-for-hire case. In one of the year's most revealing episodes, Tony Brueski exposes how Donna's defense team has spent months trying to slow, stall, and spin the inevitable. From filing motions to disqualify the judge, to claiming Tallahassee's residents are too “emotionally informed” to serve on a jury, to arguing that routine evidence is somehow “prejudicial,” this has become a masterclass in delay tactics. And it's not working. We unpack six of the most aggressive attempts Donna's lawyers have made to derail the prosecution—from re-deposing witnesses based on so-called “new evidence” to claiming the court of public opinion makes a fair trial impossible. The result? A defense strategy that's running out of time and credibility, one filing at a time. Then, Tony dives into the next looming spectacle: the possibility of Donna taking the stand in her own defense. It's a high-risk, high-ego move that could either humanize her or expose her as the manipulative force prosecutors say she's always been. Could her trademark confidence charm jurors—or will it read as arrogance under pressure? We break down the evidence she'd have to face if she testifies: The million-dollar bribe offer to relocate Dan Markel closer to the Adelsons. Her alleged plan to use religion as leverage in custody disputes. The stream of checks to Katherine Magbanua, a convicted go-between in the murder plot. And the FBI “bump” recording, hinting at Donna's knowledge of the crime. This episode reveals the anatomy of a defense that seems more focused on optics than outcome—and a defendant whose belief in her own brilliance may be her final undoing.

Multiple media outlets captured images of Maxwell jogging on the prison's 400-meter outdoor track at FCI Tallahassee. One photo series from November shows her in grey sweats doing laps in the recreation yard, behind barbed wire and perimeter fencing.    In early 2024, she was reported to have taken part in a prison-organised half-marathon event—running 52 laps around the track to cover the 13.1-mile distance—with other inmates, while also participating in yoga and Pilates classes hosted by the facility.The jogging routine has also become a part of wider discussions about the conditions at FCI Tallahassee and Maxwell's treatment while incarcerated. Reports have noted that the prison offers a relatively broad recreation program for its low-security status, including fitness options, arts, and language classes, which Maxwell reportedly uses.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Host Dave Fiore talks with Sky Nobles, a Tallahassee native, entrepreneur and the creative mind behind Fizz & Foam and Sky Pop Balloons. Sky grew up immersed in books and storytelling, a love that led her to study editing, writing and media at Florida State University and eventually to a career in public relations. Sky's path has been fueled by curiosity and connection. After experiencing agency life at BowStern, the Zimmerman Agency and now with True Story PR, her journey took an unexpected turn when a Pinterest-inspired idea led to Tallahassee's first mobile bartending service for weddings and other special occasions. That success opened the door to Sky Pop Balloons, a spin-off that adds color, joy and a little bit of whimsy to any occasion. Today, Sky juggles entrepreneurship, a growing PR career, a thriving social media presence and the launch of Tallahassee Gals — an online community designed to uplift and connect local women.

Scripture Text: Numbers 11:1-9 Sunday, November 23, 2025 Sermon Discussion Guides Morningside Church, Tallahassee (morningsidetlh.org)

Host Pastor Jack King welcomes back Captain Kelly Burke, a man whose life bridges ministry and law enforcement, having served as an associate pastor, worked with the Billy Graham Association, and spent 25 years as a captain with the Tallahassee Police Department. Burke offers a unique, dual perspective on the reality of crisis and the call to serve. They discuss the recent Will Graham "Sunshine State Good News Tour" event in Tallahassee, where Burke served with the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team. He shares the team's mission to minister to hurting people and to maintain an atmosphere where the Holy Spirit can move freely, even amidst potential opposition. Then, in a gripping segment, Captain Burke walks through the events of the tragic Florida State University shooting. He recounts the immediate, chaotic response he witnessed at police headquarters, the incredible speed of the officers, and the "muscle memory" training that enabled them to respond effectively. He emphasizes the importance of pushing the threat, rendering aid, and the crucial role he took in that moment: prayer for the students, leadership, and officers. -- The Billy Graham Rapid Response Team deploys chaplains to minister in situations of grief, chaos, and trauma, whether caused by natural disasters (hurricanes, floods) or man-made tragedies (riots, shootings). -- Chaplains are trained to look for opportunities to minister to those who are hurting, often identified by their countenance or by approaching those in fluorescent vests for help. -- Kelly Burke expresses deep pride in law enforcement's ability to run toward danger and praised the professional, multi-agency response to the FSU shooting that relied on intense training. -- The nature of active shooter training evolved significantly after events like Columbine, shifting from "surrounding and calling out" to "pushing the threat" to stop the attacker immediately. -- The FSU police officer who stopped the shooter was operating on training that became automatic, saving lives in a moment of intense danger.

The Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement (NPA) of 2007-08, reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), detailed how federal prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida negotiated a deal that effectively ended an active federal investigation into Epstein's alleged trafficking and abuse of underage girls. The agreement granted broad immunity to Epstein and unnamed “potential co-conspirators,” allowed him to plead guilty to state charges instead of facing major federal sex-trafficking counts, and did so without informing or consulting the victims before the deal was executed. The OPR found that while no evidence of corruption or impermissible influence was uncovered, the decision represented “poor judgment” by the prosecutors.Further, the report underscored significant procedural deficiencies: victims were not made aware of the NPA, the USAO did not meaningfully engage with them in accordance with the Crime Victims' Rights Act's principles, and the immunity granted in the NPA curtailed future federal prosecution of Epstein's associates—even as investigation into other victims and broader criminal conduct may have persisted. In short, the OPR concluded that the case resolution was legally within the prosecutors' discretion, but deeply flawed in its execution and fairness to those harmed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:dl (justice.gov)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In the 200th episode of the FCCMA Podcast, host Steve Vancore is joined by Casey Cook, Executive Director of FCCMA and Chief of Legislative Affairs for the Florida League of Cities, for a timely and critical conversation about the future of local government in Florida. Casey outlines the growing legislative threats to property tax revenues, warning of a potential existential crisis for municipalities if core funding sources are undermined.Casey offers practical and actionable advice for local government leaders on how to push back against these threats by clearly communicating the value of city services. He stresses the importance of educating residents about the essential functions cities provide and the consequences of reducing local government funding. The episode delivers a candid update on the current policy landscape in Tallahassee. As FCCMA celebrates 200 episodes, Casey reminds listeners that the work of local government is not just essential, it is worth protecting, and it is time for leaders to stand together.

JB White delivers a fiery, free-ranging episode from Tallahassee, unpacking everything from his recent account hack to a spirited back-and-forth with CannCon that sparks a deeper meditation on unity, dissent, and American political culture. Using their exchange as a springboard, JB dives into the geopolitical realignment around Trump, MBS, and Netanyahu, arguing that Israel and Saudi Arabia are cooperating far more closely than media narratives suggest. He warns listeners about the influence of the British deep state and the City of London, tying them to global left-wing operations, anti-Israel narratives, and the infiltration of conservative movements through strategically placed insiders. JB revisits early hacked posts from 2018, recounts the rise of Candace Owens and how she may have been targeted, and exposes the pattern of political operators embedded through marriage and influence networks. With riffs on Gaza, Ukraine, Tucker, Candace, Megan Kelly, Trump's BBC lawsuit, stablecoins, global realignment, and the hidden battles inside U.S. agencies, JB urges discernment, healthy friction, and unwavering commitment to Trump's long-game strategy.

In the immediate aftermath of her conviction, there was significant debate and scrutiny over where Ghislaine Maxwell would serve her prison sentence following her 20-year federal judgment for sex-trafficking and related charges tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Initially, Maxwell was placed at the low-security women's federal prison, Federal Correctional Institution, Tallahassee in Florida. The placement raised questions because, given the severity of her crimes and high-profile nature of the case, many observers expected her to be assigned to a facility with stricter security settings. Critics argued that a low-security placement might not reflect the gravity of her offenses or adequately account for necessary protections and oversight.The debate intensified when, in 2025, Maxwell was unexpectedly transferred from FCI Tallahassee to the minimum-security camp Federal Prison Camp, Bryan in Bryan, Texas—one of the most lenient levels of federal prison. The transfer occurred shortly after she met with the Deputy U.S. Attorney General, and it sparked concerns among lawmakers who questioned whether this move constituted preferential treatment for someone convicted of facilitating the sexual abuse of minors. Some called for transparency and accountability, demanding records about how security designations are decided and whether her placement adhered to normal Bureau of Prisons policy or was outside standard procedure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

While serving her sentence at FCI Tallahassee, Ghislaine Maxwell was quietly transferred from a higher-security setting to the prison's general population — a move that raised eyebrows among both observers and victims. Initially, she had been placed under heightened supervision following her transfer from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where she had complained of harsh conditions and constant monitoring. Once in Tallahassee, however, Maxwell's status changed, granting her access to privileges afforded to the general inmate population, including recreation areas, social interaction, and communal dining. The Bureau of Prisons justified the move as routine, citing her good behavior and the lack of disciplinary issues, but many found the decision unusually generous for a convicted sex trafficker linked to one of the most notorious criminal networks of the century.The transfer to general population was widely interpreted as a sign of the soft treatment Maxwell appeared to be receiving compared to other inmates convicted of similar crimes. Reports surfaced of her adapting comfortably, socializing with other prisoners, and even earning the nickname “G-Max” inside the facility. Victim advocates criticized the move as another example of how power and privilege can distort accountability, even behind bars. For them, it was less about Maxwell's comfort and more about the optics — that a woman convicted of facilitating abuse against minors was now living among regular inmates, no longer under the scrutiny that defined her early incarceration. To many, her move to GP symbolized the quiet easing of consequences that so often follows when the powerful finally face justice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

A respected law professor. A bitter custody battle.

In this episode: In mid-June, just a few hours before Florida's Republican-controlled Legislature finalized this year's state budget, GOP leaders in Tallahassee slipped a sentence into the spending plan authorizing state officials to acquire a piece of property in the Panhandle through a popular land-preservation program. Three months later, the administration of Gov. Ron DeSantis used that little line in the budget to spend $83.3 million in taxpayer money on a tiny spit of vacant land owned by a prominent real-estate developer and Republican Party donor. Here's the story of how Florida politicians pulled off a land deal that one longtime conservation leader called “a sham.” Editor's note: A written version of this story first appeared in the Seeking Rents newsletter: Florida lawmakers took instructions from a landowner's lobbyist. Now Florida taxpayers will pay $83 million for four acres.

Bigfoot Shot in the ChestIn this reflective memoir, a man recounts his grandfather Calvin's life as a skilled woodsman and hunter born in 1886 in rural Florida. After losing his logging job in the 1929 crash, Calvin became a sharecropper during the Great Depression, relying on a mule and wagon for transport. One moonlit night in Lafayette County, while walking home through sparse woods, Calvin spotted a massive, silent figure—taller and broader than any man—at a road intersection. Recognizing it as neither human nor known animal (ruling out bears or locals), he halted, challenged it to identify itself, and, receiving no response, fired two close-range shots from his .38 Special revolver into its chest. The creature, unfazed and painless, simply walked upright into the woods like a man. The next morning, Calvin and armed neighbors searched but found no tracks, blood, or signs; no reports of shootings emerged, leaving the incident unsolved. The narrator, born in 1937, grew up farming and hunting (squirrels at 10, turkeys for 64 years), served in the Army, and became a Tallahassee police officer. A lifelong skeptic of Bigfoot lore—dismissing amateur "researchers," unexplained woods sounds (attributed to hogs), hoax-prone reports with inconsistent descriptions, and claims of bulletproof creatures (countered by high-powered rifles)—he questions the "watched" sensation as fear-induced. Yet, he ponders his grandfather's impeccable character: an honest, hardened man with nothing to gain from fabricating a tale that risked his reputation and livelihood in tough times. Neighbors' belief, shown by joining the search, bolsters this. Ultimately, the narrator concludes Calvin told the truth about encountering an enormous, bipedal, otherworldly being impervious to gunfire. Though a healthy skeptic who needs to "see is believing," he admits: if Bigfoot exists, he'd rather not encounter one.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support

In the shocking aftermath of Donna Adelson's life sentence and Charlie Adelson's conviction, one name still hangs in the air: Wendi Adelson. Dan Markel was murdered in 2014, shot in his Tallahassee driveway amid a vicious custody battle. The plot has been proven. The masterminds have been convicted. The money trail is mapped. And yet, the woman at the center of the motive — Wendi Adelson, Markel's ex-wife — remains uncharged. Why? In this Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski deep-dive, we break down what could actually trigger charges against Wendi. From the missing digital breadcrumbs investigators are still hunting for, to the financial threads that could expose her involvement, to the possibility that her own mother might one day flip — this is the story of how close the final Adelson may be to losing her freedom. We examine the fragile line between suspicion and evidence, the psychological toll of living as the “unindicted co-conspirator,” and the quiet calculations happening behind the scenes at the State Attorney's Office. What happens if Donna decides to talk? If an old phone backup surfaces? If a single email connects the dots? This episode doesn't speculate — it investigates. We strip away the noise to reveal the three triggers that could finally end Wendi Adelson's long run outside the courtroom: 1️⃣ A digital link proving coordination. 2️⃣ A financial trail tying her to the payoff. 3️⃣ A cooperating witness naming her outright. Until one of those surfaces, Wendi remains the Adelson who walked free. But freedom built on silence doesn't last forever.

In the murder-for-hire case of Florida State law professor Dan Markel, one name still divides the public — Wendi Adelson. She was his ex-wife. The mother of his children. The woman whose family — Donna and Charlie Adelson — now sit behind bars for orchestrating his killing. And yet, Wendi remains free. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down the exact words Wendi spoke under oath and what her immunity deal really protects her from. This isn't speculation — it's straight from the courtroom. Wendi testified that her mother called her life in Tallahassee a “hostage situation.”  She admitted that Donna floated a $1 million bribe to get Markel to agree to a relocation. She confirmed her brother Charlie's “TV vs. hitman” joke, acknowledged that “someone did hire a hitman,” but denied knowing anything about it. She denied giving information, denied involvement, denied any “plausible deniability” pact in her family. So why can't prosecutors charge her — at least not yet?  Because Wendi testified under a grant of use and derivative-use immunity. That means the State can't use her words, or any evidence directly derived from those words, to prosecute her later. But the protection has limits: it doesn't cover lying, it doesn't cover new evidence found independently, and it only applies when the State compels her testimony. This episode exposes how that deal works — and why it might one day collapse if prosecutors find the right evidence.

Dan Markel wasn't just a brilliant legal scholar — he was a father fighting to protect his sons from a world he saw as dangerous, manipulative, and morally bankrupt. Before his murder in 2014, Markel was locked in an emotional and legal battle with his ex-wife Wendi Adelson's family — a fight over where their children would live and, more importantly, what kind of people they would become. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we step into Dan Markel's shoes and see the story from his perspective. Why did he fight so hard to keep his boys in Tallahassee? What did he see in Donna Adelson's control, in Charlie Adelson's arrogance, and in Wendi's divided loyalties that terrified him? And how did a custody dispute fueled by ego and entitlement turn into one of the most shocking murder-for-hire cases in American history? Through verified court records, witness testimony, and public filings, we trace the emotional timeline of a man who believed that morality could stand up to manipulation — until the system failed him. This is the story of a father who refused to let money and power define right and wrong, and of the family who couldn't handle the word “no.” Join Tony Brueski as he unpacks the psychological and moral dimensions of the Markel-Adelson saga — a cautionary tale about control, obsession, and the cost of doing the right thing in a world where truth isn't enough. ⚖️ All commentary is based on publicly available testimony and court filings. Opinions expressed are analysis only; no implication of uncharged criminal conduct is intended. #DanMarkel #AdelsonFamily #WendiAdelson #DonnaAdelson #CharlieAdelson #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeToday #JusticeForDanMarkel #CustodyBattle #MurderForHire #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
