There will not be justice until Wendy is charged. She should be the one serving a 30 year sentence.
💯 % agree
Facts
Why wouldn’t Charles make a deal and give up Wendy. I still don’t understand why Katie didn’t make a deal. It was madness.
@@freya6941 she knew if she made a deal and gave up the 2 shooters she d be dead anyway......so she took her chances with a jury
Wendy Adelson should be charged with murder & get Life just like Charlie did. She had the MOST to gain from Dan's murder & gave the murders Dan's schedule / daily routine. Also told the killers he was leaving on the trip July 19th so that the hitmen had to do it on the 18th. She helped plan the murder no doubt. The real question is did she do it without knowledge of the hitmen ? Did Donna her mother get the schedule out of Wendi without telling her of the hitmen. I believe Wendi knew because of the phone records the day of the murder got a call from Charlie after it happened.
The ex wife needs to be locked up! She was clearly behind this. Her smug looks on the court seat was telling.
How do you know? Were you there?
Ex wife needs to go to prison
💯
There is no doubt that the wife and parents were involved. I hope they are able to prove it some day.
I wish Wendy would be put away the most! She was in on it no doubt!
Especially the mother in law!! She is horrible 😡
may Dan R.I.P and may his boys know how much he really loved them!!
Even if they don’t get them they took their kids freedom and future from them (which they all deserve) so they’ll rot inside or rot inside somewhere
@@willystiles1665 None of us escape karma you included. Be careful of your own karma as that is all you have control over. It certainly looks as if she is guilty but we don't know. Seems she was very much dependent on mother which is a very dangerous thing.. Who knows but that out of the goodness of their hearts some of the rest of the family conspired on her behalf thinking they would get away with it? Assuming that was the case what a position that puts her in.
Regardless its beyond imagining what her relationship with her children is and will be in the future as they grow up and learn about it.
This is tragedy to beat the most terrible of Shakespearian tragedies being played out in real life.
Exactly, how would the hitmen, know his schedule? She is evil!@@Juke582
Those kids are being raised by people who organized the murder of their father. Heaven watch over them!
Wow, the wife is quite gleeful on the stand. Not at all somber about the death of her children’s father.
Exactly my thoughts.
Also quick with jabs about Dan. I cannot stand her.
@@Globelle
Same here.
An entitled Narc mixed with a peaches and cream face...very dangerous indeed
Dont think the evil wife knew ,which is mind boggling .
God his wife is just sick. The way she talks about him while smiling with a huge grin is pure evil. Ice cold blood runs through this woman's veins
Yes l don't like her she mean to him😢
Her eyes make her look even crazier... it's like she did coke before going into trial
Of course she had to mention Dan's girlfriend in NY. They were divorced but she still seems to hate the idea.
@@tcurr0309Even worse than that - he's been murdered, BY HER IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS, yet she still seems to despise him and in court, IN FRONT OF HIS PARENTS and the entire world, she appears to be relishing the very thought of using the opportunity to twist the proverbial knife and cast false aspersions against his character!!! (Just in case Dan's parents haven't suffered through enough heartache and despair already - WTF!?!)
*I HIGHLY DOUBT that Professor Markel was even remotely considering moving away from his beloved children for the sake of some girlfriend!!!*
Wendi Adelson:- "I don't want you..... But I don't want anybody else to ever even want you, nevermind have you, either!"
DESPICABLE - THE WHOLE ENTIRE ROTTEN, MISERABLE, DESPICABLE FAMILY!!! (They ought to come with their own Soundtrack that family, to warn people about their Demonic nature - 'Carmina Burana' sounds about right, imo!!)
Wicked Wendi calling him Danny drives me crazy. How dare she even call him by his first name, she lost that right when she had him murdered.
Wendy should be sitting beside her brother.
Big time!
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Dan's mother is such a strong woman. I don't have words to express how sorry I am for the loss of her son. Wishing her peace.
I would love to have u as another grandmother to my grandsons🙏❤
@@karensholes7920 What a lovely thing to say.💕
my God! he was on the phone with his mother right before it happened. what a tragedy!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The ex wife needs to go to jail
Yep. She exhibits Machiavellian, narcissistic personality traits.. and she is the one I'm most looking forward to observing during this next trial.
@WarmHugOfTee she lies constantly.
It must be HORRIBLE to deal with your only 2 Grandchildren being with & having been with that family! And living so far away makes it worse.
So so sad and unjust that the children have to live with this evil mum, but the day will come when they will see it all for themselves and the Mum will pay the price then . No one will forget her distasteful face for the rest of her life .Don't think the evil wife knew ,which is mind boggling .
I get it but Shelley, her daughter I believe has three children. God bless them all!
All the Adelsons were involved in one way or another except the estranged older brother Robert. Had Katherine Magbanua talked she’d be out of jail.
The entire family is complicit.
The mom's reaction when approached on the street by under cover cops was pretty telling.
Yes, I remember that scene
The bump was a dead giveaway that Donna and Charlie were up to something and maybe they kept it from the dad and Wendi but I dont know
Wendi, Donna, Harvey. All need to be arrested. Tonight !
Charlie called Katie & they talked it over a few times in his trial Georgia the prosecutor read the transcripts of the calls for her closing arguments. It was obvious Charlie orchestrated the killing of Dan Merkel & went thru Katie to find / hire the hitmen. Wendi Adelson had the MOST to gain from Dan's murder.
Lots of code talk, more than an episode of Sopranos in Tony's basement. Very incriminating. Those kids belong with Dan's Mother's n Father.
The fact the Wendy Adelson was not charged in any way baffles me.
Ruth is such an amazing human being. Dan's children have been robbed in so many ways. I hope one day they truly understand how loved they were by their father.
It’s absolutely disgusting to see Wendi’s smug expression clearly thinking she is going to get away with murder. Then she’s saying she’s going to change the boys name so to erase any sign of Danny’s existence. Justice moves too slowly here.
Justice for Markel family ❤❤
@@lesleymaclennan7899I agree and Wendi did change the boy’s names shortly after their father’s death. That tells a lot about her and her family. They were wiping out Dan Merkel’s existence.
Wife was behind it, Wendy, whatever her name is let’s put her in prison forget about it
Get that smirk off Wendy’s face👹 Bye-bye time for you to go next to jail
Wendi Elizabeth Holmes eyes Adelson with the blue contacts
@@MM-qp4pdlove this comment
Ruth’s kindness to share from her personal life is a way of fixing and mending the world. May Dan’s memory be a blessing.
Little did she know her son married into a family of sociopaths.
Wendi reminds me of Elizabeth Holmes: manipulative, narcissistic, and a habitual liar. They even resemble one another, not just in looks, but in their shared utter lack of remorse.
Yes, agree 100%
And the creepy, wide-eyed stare, too!
Yes! 💯
I hope that Wendi is forced to change the children’s name back to Markel. She had no business changing it to Adleson in the first place.
I hope so ,these children would have a terrible life under the murdering Adelson name
Wendy’s innocent smiling open-eyed facial expressions on the stand do not fool me. There’s no way this witch wasn’t fully aware, at the very least, of the plan to murder her children’s father. I do hope the lot of them are held accountable for their respective parts in this tragedy.
Like Lucy Letby.
💯 regarding your first sentence... I thought the exact same thing!!!
Nice to see Ruth looking well. It’s been a long road and we are all with you. Justice for Prof Markel and his family⚖️
@Slimmy
I specially liked the Canadian connection.
@@ivannovotny4552 Yeah. Many of us in Toronto have closely followed since 2014 and kept the Markel family in our thoughts. Justice will be served for all involved.
@@Savvy.too.
Great points and well said. Being a "news junkie" i've been following this case since day one and also living in Toronto. Hopefully justice will be done for Markel's family. ⚖️
SIDE NOTE: Do you follow Sherman's - still unsolved - double murder and Kevin Donovan's follow up reports?
@@ivannovotny4552 I use to live 15 mins from Colony Rd. So eerie and somber feeling driving by before it was demolished. I truly think it’s all in the family but let’s hope that video will help the case in the future 🤞🏾
@@Savvy.too.
I concur, sometimes we drive through that area (which has most desirable postal code in Canada) to Edward Gardens. Unfortunately Barry Sherman made a tons of enemies on all levels and ... $35 million reward is still available.
How could you do that to your own children?
Cant wait for the day they hate her just as much as the rest of the world.
The children became currency, for a very sick agenda. Money, and control.
I'm pretty sure they already does
Prayers for the Markel family!!
The ex wife Wendi needs arresting next. She certainly exhibits machiavellian and narcissistic personality traits, and is one im keen to observe on the stand during this next trial. nauseating but with a keen eye, fascinating to watch.
Plus she is an attorney and knows the game 😒

@@powder2575she dies! That doe-eyed pursed lips look. Who me? Ick.
Mom, you must be so proud of your wonderful son Dan, Being a great father is so important…… Of all of these wonderful accomplishments, you mentioned that his greatest was being a dad! My heart breaks for you and your husband, and all who love Dan! Thank you for telling us that he was Canadian, I am at Canadian, and so proud to know that such a wonderful man also shared that Heritage❤
Those kids lost both parents that day. Kids need to be taken away from that influence
Wow deep respect for Mr. Markel and his wise sweet mother. I’ve been wondering about this case for almost a decade. I want to get this book. I find this a much needed topic. Thank you Ruth for your wisdom, faith and resilience through this process. What a great example of how not to remain a victim and press forward with love and some sort of justice. That’s a forever bond. I’ll keep watching. The Markel’s are in my prayers. 🙏🏻⚖️🕯️
BTW, Ruth's book is worth the read!
Well said 🙏 I agree 🙏 JUSTICE FOR RUTH 🙏
It is so sad. I'm always amazed at people that are willing to kill a person that they don't even know. I'm still early in the video but the lover of the brother-in-law, is crying in court. I imagine she regrets her actions.
So sad and unnecessary. I hope Mr Marckle's wife was convicted, because she's the one that wanted him dead.
@@paulaellis6242I didn't know there was a book, I appreciate that. Thank you for letting me know.
Edit: I see the interview with Ruth now
So sad that the markers have been alienated from their grandchildren. That's a real sick situation. One day those children will turn on their mother.
The book is called The Enveiling, @@ritawashere5787
Oh Ruth Markel, I know your pain. I wish I didnt. I too, have lost a child and the pain is unbearable. As Mothers, we forge ahead because we have no choice. We go forward, dragging our shattered hearts behind us. Keep the fight. Never give up. Justice will be served.
God Bless you. Shalom.
I understand also, I lost my dear son in 2016. My best to you to find the strength to carry on, it's so very hard! All the best!
Ive watched Wendi's police interview and testimonies multiple times, she belong in prison as well. She's so disgustingly vindictive. I hope she never has a day of peace on this earth.
I agree 100%!
that is not very nice of u. u r not a christian. we believe in forgiveness.
@@allend2749what planet do you live on? Who exactly is “we”? Are you not aware that Christianity is not the only religion or (non belief) that people embrace?
@@allend2749 lets see how u feel when someone takes your kids life...u gonna forgive?
Wendi will never have peace! Amen
My heart goes out to Dan’s family. Thank you for telling us about your son. The brother in law, is now on trial! Waiting on the arrest of the parents and the ex wife!
Good message "Keep the fire burning and never give up" My thoughts and prayers to this family
And Wendi addleson is the main reason for this murder.
💯💯💯💯
No doubt.
Yep!
Dan’s mother is so well spoken. I hope they get the justice they deserve.
May his memory be a blessing. 🤍
So different than the other evil family.
So articulate, impressive woman. I pray she gets justice.
@@paulaellis6242l agree with you on this l feel sad for her😢
Bless this mother for everything she is still going through.
It’s amazing to me how many people believe they will get away with murdering someone.
Yee or they don't care about people 😢
I totally agree.
I know especially nowadays with DNA and advanced technology
Terrible for his mom and kids 💔
The ex wife is so very guilty as well.
Agree 100%
Dan's mom is an awesome woman. My condolences.
Thank you for interviewing Ruth Markel. I hope justice will come soon for Dan & the family.
Will be following and praying for justice.
I love how Mrs. Markel makes reference to Danny’s Harvard background. I’m sure his status as a Harvard alum (x2) continues to get under the thin skin of the outlaw in-laws. Dan is so far superior in every way-particularly intellectually-that he’s actually orchestrating from the afterlife the methodical downfall of the entire Adelson clan. Justice for Dan!
LOVE this!!!!
Education doesnt make one superior as a human thats just human ego
@@celticwarrior777 while thats true, it is near impossible to place below a dentist as a human. garbagemen, prostitute, god maybe even lawyers.
Harvard and Cambridge, that’s so impressive. I bet his in laws (particularly the controlling matriarch) must have had their noses out of joint when they realised they couldn’t walk all over him, so they went totally off the rails and had him killed. Evil people.
@@celticwarrior777 No, but it does make you think through being a barbarian and leaving that life for one with better ethics.
who gained the most from this horrific act? Wendy == guilty
I 100% believe the wife is guilty. The second I saw her face it’s like her eyes are smiling inside and like she’s trying to not smirk.
I lost my son in a motorcycle accident a few years ago and it was very painful, I can’t imagined the pain of losing a son under these circumstances! We all want justice in this case, all mothers are Ruth Markel!! 🙏♥️ May God continue to give strength to this admirable mother!
My condolences to you🙏🏻❤🙏🏻
@@loralieisa so sweet ♥️♥️ thank you so much!
They were already divorced for the love of god. Wendi was bitter that the judge said she couldn’t move to south Florida
I'm shocked that his wife hasn't been charged. She was the one who had the most to gain from his murder. The adelsons wanted custody of the children.
Wendi is a lawyer. She knows how to bend the TRUTH. She's a great lawyer. Those smiles on the stand MEAN a LOT. The last LAUGH.
@@veronesewilliams7897 Wendi is not versed in criminal practice and for that reason there are substantial holes in her knowledge.
*Post Traumatic GROWTH & Post Traumatic CHANGE - Thank you, Ruth!* Usually, when PTSD is referred to, GROWTH & CHANGE aren’t mentioned at all. *Keep the Fire Burning and Never Give Up, -Dan Markel.*
That Wendi chick was DEFINITELY involved!!
Why did Wendi "coincidentally" drive out of her way to visit the crime scene after it happened? Do criminals usually do this? And why?
This act gets her indicted and convicted next year...
Wendi drove to the scene of the crime which is something killers do. She also never spoke to the police officer who was blocking the street. There were many emergency vehicles and yellow tape on the street where her children live. She never asked the police officer blocking the street what happened. To me, that's something an innocent person would never do. They would ask what happened.
@@anthonyperkins3527 right? If I saw emergency vehicles around my ex's block and knowing he had my kids that morning I would be on panic mode and ask what's going on!
Exactly the point I was making. @@MM-qp4pd
He is going down too! Loser! Then onto the evil Wendy Aidelson next! Whole family was in on the murder!!! 😡😡
🙏🙏🙏
Praying for strength, during the upcoming trial, for Dan’s family, friends, and especially Dan Markel’s two sons
Ruth, I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved son. He sounds like an incredible father, son and human being. You are a strong and brave person to have written a book about your experience and grief. Now you must deal with the horrific attack on your people in Israel and the aftermath which led to war. This world is so messed up and you are a bright light as was Dan. We must keep the fire burning and keep the light on. My thoughts and prayers will be with Ruth and her family as justice is served yet again. May God bless you and yours. ❤️🇨🇦🙏
Why?? Just why do these monsters 👿 think they have the right to take a life!! 😵💫😵💫🤯😡😡
Sweet Ruth, I’m praying for her and Dan’s family. ❤✨🙏🕊️❤️
The way his ex wife talk , like no emotions , like nothing happened or so , narcissistic traits and cold looks gave me goosebumps
Dan’s ex seems so smug on the stand. I suppose getting away with murder and getting custody of the children without having to deal with her ex would be pretty pleasing. I hope and pray that full and true justice comes for Dan and his children.
Hi ! What a beautiful mother in many ways ! 😢 My heart goes out to her and her family, so sorry for your tragic loss ! I hope they indict his former wife because, I most definitely think she has something to do with his (Dan) murder !!
I'm so glad his parents (Charlie) are having to sit for a depo. I fully believe the ex-wife is involved too. The entire family needs to be charged and behind bars.
The interview actually got canceled. Both sides agreed that Donna & Harvey Adelson will not be called to testify at Charlie's trial.
Didn't happen
Such a sad story. Those boys will never know there loving dad. What a horrible family to do this.
So horrible
I remember when this happened. It was obvious that this was a hit. The wife and her whole family was involved. The fact that the kids no longer have their dad's last name is very telling.
The thing most hurtful after the death of their only child, must be the lost of touch with their only grandkids. 😢 Hopefully that will change in near future.
What a beautiful message I know I won’t forget…Keep the fire burning. I wish Ruth well and pray her grandsons will grow up knowing how well they were loved by Dan. Also, I hope dear Ruth is able to have a close relationship with her grandsons. Her faith and wisdom is inspiring.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Markel familiy, friends of Dan Markel, and all who have been so affected by this horrible, horrible crime. Another milestone finally about to begin, tomorrow. Justice MUST be served, for ALL INVOLVED.
She seems awefuly detached from it, "the case".
Even 9 years after Dan's murder, she still hates him.
Wendy c est le cerveau et elle se pense intouchable...
De tout cœur avec la maman de Dan et ses petits enfants qui vont grandir avec ça 😢😢😢
🙏🕯️♥️
The Usual Suspects starring Wendi Adelson as Kevin Spacey
The wife is so cunning😢
Mrs. Markel is very eloquent. I could be wrong but she is not allowed to visit with her grandsons. 😢
My thoughts to the Merkel family. I have been following this case for several years and the thing that enrages me is that main culprits (2/3) are still out living free...
Wishing Dan Markle's mom peace of mind that this will come to an end soon. Justice for Dan. Such a horrible story, and to live through this continually year after year. His mom has to be 1 very strong woman indeed! My thoughts and prayers are with her.
There is no way Wendi is not involved. She has always wanted her sons with her and she finally got them by organising Dans murder along with her brother and mother. The three of them should be tried and put in prison for life without parole
She’s so guilty
Those poor children. To lose the parent that truly loves them and be left with that thing that calls herself a mom.
(And the rest of her vile family.) I sincerely hope they spend their time with the paternal grandparents.
The lady didn’t hire killers just for fun. Ex is for sure involved
She hired some of her beloved immigrants to do the dirty work for her, and they got caught.
Exactly! Another layer of evil in this case. The minorities are paying the price while the wealthy, privileged family goes free. Hopefully, it will not be for much longer.
Wicked Wendi and her conniving family thought it was the perfect murder, but seldom is there ever a perfect murder. She was the maestro, not Charlie. She is the one who kept nattering about Dan and oh, how mean he was to her. She told her evil family everything, besides others and lied to them about him. She is the only one who shared all and any information about him. How else would they know these things? They didn't have a crystal ball. She's the one who left him like a cheap coward leaving divorce papers on the bed. He didn't know where she took his children. She was so mean to him and he really loved her and tried to make it work. She will get her comeuppance and karma will come around and bit her in her ar$e. She was the only one who stood to come out a millionaire, no more co-parenting, no more motions, no more phone calls from him, no more anything, no more Dan, so she could move to south Florida. Something she always wanted so her parents could raise Dan's boys. Such an evil family. There are no words how much they are despised. Wendi thinks she has everyone fooled, but she is the fool. I hope Katie has an ace up her sleeve and takes the whole corrupt Adelson's down like the dogs they are. Bless the Markel's and RIP Professor Markel. Georgia will get them all.
People who murde are calloused to the core.😢
He was a genius lawyer and professor Harvard educated RIP
The ex wife looks so happy to be a witness.
I pray that Dan’s kids would find out all of these and would make right decisions to know their roots on father’s side.
God Bless this poor mother! She is seemingly strong but I am sure she is very broken! Dan’s poor boy’s ! Such a great loss😢. 🙏🙏🙏
So sorry for your loss❤❤❤
Ruth is an amazing mother.
What an amazing Woman/Mom, my she get justice for her beautiful son, n may her grandboys be in her life always. Not everyone is so lucky to have a Mom/Grandmother like this Lady....
She did guilty, guilty, guilty.
Wendi should b charged, she s the king pin not charlie
All are guilty of conspiracy to commit murder.
💯
I’m surprised no one snitched on the wife.
Kudos to the people who didn't give up on this case. Justice for Dan Markel is long overdue!
Dan sounds like he was an interesting, engaged, conscientious, contributing member of society who had it correct: you care for your kids in life! Ruth, I am terribly sorry for the loss of your beloved son. I’m certain he will be missed by many.
I hope whatever deal they gave that woman doesn't include her never ever facing charges down the line because she's involved in this one way or another.
You are a great Mom Ruth Markel. Stay strong and know that there are people thinking of you and wishing you all the best. I am sorry for the loss of your fine son.
Classy lady here. God help her get justice for her son’s senseless murder. 🙏🏼
OY 😵💫wendy always Smirking
"Keep the fire burning" amazing words from a terrible loss
Look at the trail of pain and destruction this woman has left for countless people including her own children.
Malignant narcissists are all alike, unremarkable in that their sense of entitlement and delusions of grandeur lead them to inevitable destruction.
I cannot even imagine the pain Dans parents feel. Its breaks my heart as a mother. May God give them justice and all involved are punished.
A child is more valuable to a parent than gold. When you take the child away the parent acts as if they have nothing to lose.
No one was taking any children away. Dan was established where he and Wendy lived. Wendy and her putrid brother and family wanted Wendy and Dan's children to move away with Wendy. They had joint custody and Dan was not contesting that, both the trashy family didn't want him in the way so they had him murdered. The Adleson scums took the childrens father away. Along with being low class trash, the Adlesons aren't too bright.
And that wasn't the case here at all
haha please tell that my narcissistic mother (who had been treating me, her only child, like trash 🚮 my whole life)
What an amazing lady Dan’s mother is. Fingers crossed for the coming weeks.
God bless Ruth Markel and her family 🙏🏼🙏🏼 JUSTICE FOR DAN‼️
If wife had nothing to do with it, then she'd feel compassion for Dans parents and allow them to see their grandchildren. The wife's in on it. Investigate and throw her in prison.
