Dr. G's Body Language Course:
www.drgexplain...
In this gripping analysis, Dr. G, a clinical and forensic psychologist, delves into the enigmatic body language and behavior of Wendi Adelson during her 2014 police interview following the murder of her husband, Dan Markel. This video comes at a pivotal time, as recent developments in 2023 have dramatically escalated the case. Charlie Adelson, Wendi’s brother, was convicted of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation in the fatal shooting of Markel. Shortly after, their mother, Donna Adelson, was arrested at Miami International Airport with one-way tickets to Vietnam, on charges mirroring those of her son - first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation.
Dr. G's expert analysis uncovers the subtleties and nuances in Wendi's interactions with law enforcement, viewed in light of her family's involvement. Wendi, who testified that her family had no part in the 2014 murder, is seen in a new context given these developments. The case itself, rooted in a bitter dispute between Markel and Wendi Adelson, led to the tragic 2014 shooting of Markel.
This video not only explores Wendi Adelson's demeanor and responses during the interrogation but re-examines it after the latest arrest of Donna Adelson and the conviction of Charlie Adelson. The analysis is enriched with insights into the psychological and behavioral aspects, making it a must-watch for enthusiasts of true crime and forensic psychology.
Stay tuned for this deep dive into one of the most complex and talked-about murder cases in recent history, where family dynamics, legal battles, and hidden motives intertwine.

“Why would she be worrried about being a suspect when she did not yet know there was a crime?” WOW!!!!!!! Excellent observation!!!!!!
Yes!!! Pass on this to Georgia !!
It is criminal what she has done, destroyed so many families including her own
As a lawyer she didn't ask during the ride to the police station?
@@anne-marieroopa4203 I would imagine most innocent people would ask what was happening rather than assuming they’re a suspect… especially since Wendi herself repeatedly pointed out she went willingly. But hey, thanks for sharing your opinion!
@@n0thankupolice withhold that information a lot of the time. You can ask them what’s going on but they say “we’ll let you know once we get to the station” they want to see how you react while being recorded. So she could have asked. Plus she is an attorney so usually you’re not picked by police unless there was a crime. Not saying she wasn’t involved but I think an innocent person might have an idea something bad happened and they might get pinned for it.
Wendi here, reminds me so much of Dalia Dippolito. She was caught in 2009, trying to arrange the murder of her husband with an undercover police officer. The cops staged his murder and when they told her he was dead she instantly went OVER THE TOP hysterically, crying exactly like Wendi did when they told her Dan wasn’t gonna survive! Look it up! Identical reactions… cuz they both already knew. 🤨
Yep. they both became hysterical on cue. Dahlia met her husband when she was an escort and her client's wife was out of town. He actually dumped his wife for Dahlia D.
I thought that too
Wow u are so right 😂it's identical
Dahlia was already ready to fake cry once she got there. She's been practicing the cry for weeks.
omg I thought the same thing! AND I wonder if Wendi was initially so forthcoming about the Charlie joke just in case the hitmen were actually undercover agents and Dan was still alive (just like in Dalia's case). Dalia's case happened in Boynton Beach in 2009, just 1 hour from Miami so I'm sure the Adelson's knew all about it. I can see Wendi having the forethought to make out like it was a big joke in the event the hitmen turned out to be LE.
As a mom of 3, I CANNOT fathom seeing the street blocked and not IMMEDIATELY calling my spouse/ex spouse to confirm all was ok! At no point does she even think about her kids! How are you sure they made it to daycare??
Dalia Dippolito sobs!
Yes Sobs just like Dahlia
Busted!
Absolutely 💯 I'd be so terrified for the boys (her children) that I'd be running up to officers asking "What happened? Where are my boys" I'd be out of my damn mind.
Yeah, I guess the thought of the children may make me call my ex husband but otherwise I wouldn’t care in the slightest until told something was wrong..(meaning if I knew the kids were safe).
Omg, that was my instant thought. I put the link up in my comment as I had to compare the 2.
Crazy when the realtor is more concerned than the mother of her children
That “couldn’t tell if I was a suspect” statement is SO telling! Busted Wendi!
Oh my gosh that’s right!!! I’m so glad they have that recorded!!! Totally busted!! 😮
Holy Crap!!!! Can't believe she said that. Yes, she is 100% guilty
I agree! The way she acts reminds me of the email her mom, Donna, sent telling her that she will need to "put on the performance of a lifetime" ... such an insane family!
@@amyhenningsgard8618 They will not be able to use it in court if she is arrested. She did something very smart at the beginning. Asking if she should be read her miranda rights.
why do you say that?@@wyzmann32 I saw another lawyer's analysis of the immunity deal Wendi has, and she said that material from the interview can be used. It's just her testimony in court proceedings related ot the case that can't be used against her. Not that she's said anything self-incriminating in court.
Dang, she started implicating herself within 5 minutes of her interrogation. This is great coverage 👍
and yet she walks free.
She's pure evil like dalia dippolito
@@moniqued9715it's not over yet
That's a matter of opinion.
The very first thing a mother would say after being told there was a shooting at her ex-husband's house is, "My children, where are my children?" She never asked about her boys.....
The second the officer approached her at the table in the restaurant, did she ask about her kids? What was the conversation in the police car
Between Wendi and the officer?
Exactly!!!
FALSE. They spoke in the car on the way over. She most likely ascertained they were ok. Even if the detective didn't confirm that in the car (which he almost certainly would, to an unnerved mother), she had her phone and could call the daycare.
@@bex-fl-1 If I was a mother and told Dan was shot even after being told the boys were ok I would insist on calling and speaking with them before answering anything else.
@@ervinperetz5973 - You making lots of assumptions.
Watching Wendi's interview against Tamara's gives you a whole perspective of how much Wendi was involved and nothing ever happened without her knowledge
The main person Dan "rubbed the wrong way" was Wendi. She was able to make the statement about whether or not she was a "suspect" because she was directly involved in Dan's death. She may not have pulled the trigger, but because of her and her alone the trigger was pulled. I hope she'll eventually be charged with the role she played in Dan's death.
Exactly 💯 💥 Cappelman needs to get her into custody and have her tried too. Come on FL State's Prosecutors office.
Louis Baptiste,a former student of Dan’s,said that,where most professors had their degrees plastered all over their offices,Dan had his 2 & 4 yr old son’s artwork , even on the door to his office(IIRC). He said it was evident that Dan loved his sons more than anything else. Mr.Baptiste would challenge Dan when he didn’t agree with him.He assumed Dan didn’t care for him much. Then he found out that Dan actually recommended Mr. Baptiste to his divorce attorney who we saw testify in Charlie’s trial. Mr. Baptiste got the job (law clerk?) and went on to join the firm when he passed the Bar. He’s still there 10 years later. He spoke a good bit on Surviving the Survivor and gave us more insight into who Dan Markel really was.
Wendi provided all the intel needed to make this hit go smoothly - without the children being around - and with Jeffrey Lacasse winding up as the key suspect (which she botched, lol).
She is guilty af.
@@taxiuniversum Absolutely 💯
@@CatalinaFOIAI think they’re gathering and waiting, waiting and gathering… 👀
I hope the lawyers use that statement against her when she gets charged
I feel like she’s trying too hard to act distraught but she’s able to clearly explain things and make sense. She also started crying too fast when the officer told her about Dan. Of course, everyone acts different in these situations but I think of it were me and the officer told me my x husband had been shot and not going to make it, I’d need a minute to process the information. I’d probably say something like “wait what”?“Where are my kids”? “What happened”! “Omg, I need to call his parents”! I think my mind would be racing and it’d be hard to talk and put my thoughts together. Don’t get me started on the phone call to her mother! There were so many red flags in this interview.
Right? When she drove by trescot with the police tape, she didn't ask about her kids even tho they were with their dad by trescot that morning. Then when she was told twice about the shooting on trescot from her real estate agent and cop, didn't ask about her kids either. Very very very suspicious
Yes
Remenicent of Dalia Dipalito
@@MM-qp4pdboom! And saying she thought it was a tree down? Do you ever see police tape and cop cars when that happens??
@@Texas_Baby_Blue yup. And even if it was a tree down, she wasn't concerned that maybe the tree fell on or around the house possibly hurting her kids who slept there last night???? Wendi is full of it
I agree 💯
Wow I didn’t realize she hadn’t been told about Dan being shot when she asked if she was a suspect. That’s so incredibly suspicious 🤨
The ex or spouse, gf, bf is the first suspect always.
If you look and listen to the ENTIRE recording of the interview the LEO told Wendi her x husband was shot before she said she was a suspect.
@@csc8697You're missing the essence of that person's comment. They're saying they were surprised that Wendi had already mentioned the detail of the murder before they told her.
She never asks what EXACTLY happened. He only tells her Dan was shot. This entire time, she rambles on about random things, but forgets to keep pushing for details like a normal person would do, like where, when, how.
Guilty people talk way too much. Good analysis Dr G!
Notice how she accounts for every second in that day until THEY maliciously annihilate her children's father? She has rehearsed this day completely! What a sadistic psychopath 🤬😈
May be completely normal to wonder if you are suspected of a crime, but given that she saw the crime scene, tape and police cars, that changes it for me. She is practicing reverse psychology by saying a lot of the things she has said, even on the stand. Her babe in the woods, deer in the headlights, wide eyed, tilted head on the stand was all an act. I thought it made her look insane.
I have said this all along.
I'm glad you're covering this extremely disturbing case. Thank you, Dr. G.
I agree. Maybe some of these amazing minds in the yt community could team up and help the prosecution organize their case against the Adelson family
@@lifepathnumbernine6607
Georgia Cappleman is doing fine, tbh.
No one should be this upset over an ex-husband, especially after 2 years.
This is some annoying over acting.
I said the same thing.
And she's the one who filed for divorce first.
I never thought about that. This is acting.
My son is studying performing arts - I will show him this as how to be inauthentic in grief.
Make no mistake, Wendi was the mastermind behind the murder. She knew just how much to feed Donna and charlie to grow their hate for Dan and when she got them to go through with the murder she threw them under the bus. This women is a sociopath and extremely dangerous.
I agree. I will not be surprised at all if Wendi pulled the puppet strings to have Dan murdered. She, in my thoughts, manipulated her family until she had no further use for them in her life. As you stated , she is extremely dangerous.
Agree wholeheartedly with your assessment. I have been praying every single day that Charlie flips on his sister. I'd rather see Charlie walk in 20 years by getting a sentence reduction if he flips on the sister. In my mind, Justice will not be served if Charlie and Donna only go down for this crime. Wendy was very calculated she knew exactly what she was doing. Her brother was merely trying to Curry favor with his mother who he adores and spoke with every single day, Wendi made them both believe that she was being treated terribly, abused, and that Dan was a horrible person. This is a tragedy on so many levels. And no, Charlie is not a sociopath. No sociopath loves animals the way he does. I know that Charlie has his hands full of blood as well, but he himself is not capable of violence which is why he and his mother hired somebody at the behest of Wendi
Calculated is the perfect word to describe Wendi. I can not fathom the vacancy in her soul to destroy the lives of so many people, especially the children involved. Wendi hated Dan, her mother and brother were pawns in her plan to be rid of him. I would argue that she never asked to have Dan murdered but manipulated D.A. and C.A. into the act. Wendi is smart, shrewd and cold. I do not believe her boys were ever the reason for her anger towards Dan. They were pawns in a game and she was losing the game, so she cheated by having her opponent murdered. Do you think C.A. or D.A . will ever realize how solidly they were played?
I completely agree re Charlie walking in 20 years to get Wendi. Not sure I believe he's not a sociopath, but then again, I don't know the guy @@primalcritters
I agree, she's very dangerous. I worry for the kids. Does anyone remember Josh Powell?
Her crying to me, sounded completely fake! Everything about it, and the things she said, were suspicious to me. I’m sure the detectives were doubting her innocence during the interview. What kind of a person kills their children’s dad?? Monsters. She doesn’t mention her concern for the kids until well into the interview. Thx Dr G
She sounds exactly like Dalia Dippolito.
Her crying seems fake to me. And the ridiculous hyperventilating and squealing for someone she really doesn't care about.
She’s sounds fake as can be and SO dumb for saying the things she says
@@dayinthelifeofmycatyes!
Her hysterical carrying on reminds me of the Sherri Papinni interview where the police nailed her to the wall with all their evidence. So fakey.
It’s called acting. Her mom told her to act like she’s never acted before. And that’s exactly what she did!!!
I have been waiting for this interview to be analyzed! Did anyone catch before she called her mom, Wendi said something to the effect of “I don’t even know if he’s dead” INSTEAD of most people saying “I don’t know if he’s still alive.” I thought it was peculiar.
Good catch!
Dr G- my instinct of Wendi stating “he wouldn’t do this to himself” stems from Danny’s life insurance policy. IF she was aware of his demise AND she knew he had life insurance, it would only benefit her if “he wouldn’t do this to himself.” Just my hunch.
I thought that too
Fxxk yeah that’s an excellent spot
Good catch!
She didn’t ask about her children once? She didn’t ask if they were shot , if they saw their father being shot if they were ok or where they were. My first question after hearing my ex was shot would be if my kids were ok. Her crying seems more like a person married to the victim not a year into a bitter divorce settlement . Seems over the top to me
I was just about to post the same thing....she showed on the stand that she had no love for him ,why so upset now ...😮
Agree! And she never says "how am I going to tell my boys? ". No concern at all about the kids?
@@maryarens at one point through her tears, she said… What about my boys? But that was later in the conversation and that’s all she said. I wish it would’ve been an interrogation instead of an interview.
she is crying becuase she thought she was going to go to jail that night, she was crying out of anger that she is the first person that the police spoke to since the shooting and that no one else was being investigated so soon, she thought she would have had time to sort her crap out after the shooting happened because she is the ex wife and dan had a girlfriend and thought that the police would suspect dans girlfriend or even wendis ex boyfriend who she tried to set up as the murder suspect but didnt know her ex boyfriend left for the holiday the night before the killing.
FYI: The whole entrance to the road where Dan Markel lived was NOT closed off by police tape. The police tape was LITERALLY IN FRONT OF HIS HOME. She drove by and took a peek - and the fact alone that this allegedly did not concern her at all (her CHILDREN could have been in there!) goes to show she knew PERFECTLY WELL why the police was there.
I thought the tape was also 5 houses from her dans home. Would she have seen the tape from 5 houses away?
I still cannot fathom why, even knowing Dan was going to be murdered, she didn't ask if the boys were OK. Unless, perhaps, she was told that the reason the June attempt to kill Dan failed because he had the boys with him. But I'd still ask if it were me.
@@infinitya6873 oh yeah, right?????? OMG!!!!!
@@MM-qp4pd No. It wasn’t 5 houses away. There exist pictures of where the tape was. The tape was attached to the light pole that was literally in between Dan Markel‘s and his neighbor‘s house. With the police obviously being busy on the Markel property.
Wendi saw that something horrible must have occurred on the Markel property - and she didn’t bother find out what. Because she wanted to avoid being seen.
@@infinitya6873 same. I would have asked about the kids either way
Can’t believe she’s been free this whole time.
It takes patience and lots on investigation to get the details to prove guilty.
The mom was just charged and apprehended. WENDI IS NEXT. Guaranteed within this year 2024 she will be charged.
What always bothered me was that she never asked about her boys after being told Dan was shot. She didn’t know they were in daycare. All she knew was they spent the night with Dan.
Why wouldn't she assume they were where they were supposed to be?
@@ToyotaGuy1971 Would you make that assumption if you had no idea when, where, or how Dan had died?
@@sarahs2288 of course, whay kind of silly question is that ?! At that point, she didn't know anything.
@@ToyotaGuy1971 Are you serious? The guy tells her Dan has been shot. She doesn’t know where her children are. I would jump up out of my seat and start asking where my boys!?!? Most people would, but you do you.
@15:15 Your KEEN observation of her asking "How do you know that?" EXCELLENT point! Shows she's DEFINITELY concerned and worried about exactly how much they knew.
You guys are really putting too much weight on some of these things. Ultimately, they're not even circumstantial evidence, because at the time of the video, there's no way to know why she's asking, it could be genuine curiosity and surprise at him knowing about her.
The more I watch this case and others opinions the more shocked I am. Ive watched this case for 4 years and seen every trial and know all the players however at the 2:12 mark where you point out Wendi being concerned about being a suspect 😮 is alarming. I've NEVER heard that perspective before. As far as I know Wendi never asks if her children are okay either. As a mom, that would be my top concern after my ex being shot and in the hospital is our children... are they injured too? Are they okay? Where are they? And as far as we know Wendi NEVER asks about the boys. Which would imply she already knew the entire plan, down to the time that Dan would be shot (BestBuy TV) alibi. Thank you for pointing this out!!!! 😮 I hope Cappelman gets all of them 1 by 1 and that when Wendi is brought to trial that this is brought up as a huge piece of evidence!!! HUGE!
I thought it was interesting she didn’t ask about her kids. As a mother, I would’ve wanted to know about my kids immediately!
My immediate thought was that she didn’t ask about the kids too
THIS! I’ve followed the case ever since the “Over My Dead Body” podcast, and although it seems naive now, I always thought that while Wendi hated Dan and likely stoked her family’s hatred of him (leading to the hit), I thought that perhaps she didn’t have prior knowledge to the hit…this video completely changed my perspective. Wow. If they hadn’t told her anything in the police car, why would she be thinking at that time that she was a suspect of something? Hmm.
“Oh My God!”…… Yeah sure. The entire 5 hours tells us all we need to know about this woman. Although I’m a bit embarrassed to admit it, I’ve watched the 5 hour “interview” about five times. Usually 2 hours at a time.
The FIRST thing I noticed? The things she was talking about were inconsequential bulls$&t. AND the crying at one minute and talking normally the next. It didn’t seem normal. Wendi is a sociopath/psychopath. PERIOD.
I had the same reaction. Like you, I've watched every trial and interview about this case and I missed the suspect statement as well. I knew her body language was not consistent and I could nt understand why she was nt bringing up the kids more to see if they were ok but I guess I thought that the police had told her in the car and were just reiterating that her ex was killed. If they told her nothing at all....well!!!
You would think her first reaction would be shock or denial, but she moves right into Oscar worthy grief and sobbing.
Her mother Donna told her to put on the “performance of her life” as she had seen she was good at it ! Well her mother was totally wrong - she is very fake throughout this whole interview
And no reaction to "there was a shooting at your home" - her kids were just there. I'd have lost it right there and been like WHAT? How? Who? Was it an accident? Its not like this is an area accustomed to drive by shootings or whatever.
I can't believe she's not charged with anything to this day. The oddities you found in her interview hopefully got law enforcement to look at her very closely. Thanks again, Dr G! I hope you and your family have a wonderful thanksgiving!
Oddities won't win a murder conviction.
Prosecutors feel like we do but thank god justice system demands more.
@@JamesG1126d’uh 😂
Oh, they’re watching…and waiting…keep looking over your shoulder,
Wendi.
Give it time, they are on it !😁
That's in my top 10 fake cries of all time. If I was the investigator I would just interrupt her and say "Sweetheart, just cut that out. Nobody believes it and we've got work to do" but then that's why I'm not a detective.
And when you do that the suspect says I want my attorney and you have to stop the interview. The goal is to get the suspect talking pin them down with their story.
@@Asidebar Sarcasm not your thing?
This is EVERYTHING. I watched this interview all the way through observing her behavior and I totally missed this!
This is the main puzzle piece-I am dumbfounded!!! AMAZING WORK!!
I am puzzled 🤔 how did you miss this?
@@anniemarshall5480- you're more than puzzled.
I think the most damning evidence against her is that she didn’t immediately ask if her kids were ok. Because of course, she knew they were ok.
@@EffSharp There is no "immediately". There was a ride in the police car. She probably already determined that her kids were ok during the ride over. The detective clearly told her things before this recording started.
Thank you for pointing out about her thinking she was a suspect. Did she know for sure her kids were at the daycare? You would think she would ask to make sure her kids were unharmed.
Would love for you to analysis Charlie’s attorney when Georgia was giving her closing statement. He couldn’t stay still and kept touching his face. What is that all about?
@@dfmullen1922 - Attorney knew it would be a guilty verdict, he could see how the jury did not like him and paid full attention to Georgia during closings. The evidence against Charlie was clear convincing and overwhelming to prove guilt.
Thank you Dr. G. Wendi is guilty in planning and the carrying out of her ex-husbands murder. Your perception and analysis are wonderful.
What will Donna say? Will she incriminate her daughter?
I don't believe Wendi to be guilty.
@@vikkijames6000 Why do you believe she is innocent?
@@vikkijames6000 Finally, someone who can analyze with clarity. I agree -- the family probably conspired without her full knowledge. She certainly had no role in the pattern of calls managing the hit. See my comments above.
@@vjdalady - If Donna says her daughter was involved that proves Donna was too. I do not believe Donna will incriminate Wendi.
The issue is not that Wendi had to tell the detective about Charlie’s joke but that Wendi unnecessarily told the tv repairman about that joke that morning.
From the moment he tells her the ex has been shot and won't make it, she immediately covers her face and sobs. It was too quick. I know everyone is different in processing information, but I'd think her first response would be to totally focus on the detective to get more information, not cover her eyes. Our brains just don't process such shocking news that fast. Also, where were the demands to be rushed to the hospital RIGHT NOW to be there with him in his last moments? Thanks Dr. G for helping us develop critical thinking skills!
Yep… just like Dalia Dippolito! Remember that case?!! 🤨
You’re absolutely right. Of course it is absolutely true that everyone “grieves” differently. HOWEVER… I am a former emergency room nurse, who has been in the sad position of informing many families of the deaths of loved ones, and I have also been informed myself of the deaths of loved ones, and NO ONE immediately starts bawling within one second when the death is unexpected. Why? Because to hear such news initially sends the receiver into a state of shock. It is too completely impossible to process or comprehend the information when it concerns the unexpected death of someone you are close to or know well. It is as if one becomes catatonic. Either that or there is an angry or confused expression of “No!” or “What?” But there is always a delay before the real tears come.
Been there, more times than I want to remember. Except I was the one being informed. You're spot on.
@@susiepohlsame experience for me working in the ER. The detective barely got the last word out of his mouth before she began sobbing. It is very reminiscent of Dalia Dippilito.
Yes, she asked he’s all alone? And didn’t ask to go be with him? Or when she asked no one in his family knows? And said “they are going to blame me”. Who says things like that?
Her "jumping the gun" with the suspect issue was her way of planting an idea like we saw how she did with Jeff the manipulated BF. Here she wanted to find out how close she was to being arrested so as to know whether she needs to disappear. Secondly, did you notice how she uses the same text"oh no that's an awful thing to say" she said that to the prosecutor during her testimony in Charlie's trial. Everything that comes out of her mouth is planned and has a purpose.
She didn't even ask about her children! That should've been the 1st thing she wanted to know
It's because she already knew they were ok at daycare. She is guilty as f !
@@raymondchapman5990 exactly!
Holy hell! I had not seen the start of her interview so I had not seen where she asked about being a suspect! OMG she TOTALLY knew!!!! My mind is completely blown
Wow, Dr. G. This is the second great catch you've made! Wendi asking if she's a suspect when (supposedly) she shouldn't yet know Dan has been shot. Other catch: when she almost said "hitman" while testifying at Charlie's trial when saying they were waiting for the "TV repairman" to arrive. These things may not be admissible in court, but they sure give credence to the theory that she at least knew about the conspiracy in advance.
Yes. The near slip was incredible
I wonder what the original plan was. Did she plan to be the one who found him? Is that why she was driving that way or was it just that couldn’t beat her curiosity.
Unfortunately, Wendi has immunity for her testimony in the other trials. Almost saying hitman can't be used.
@@aisha2370But the point Dr G is making from the police questioning can be used against her.
This interview is just so telling..
Wendi is a proud graduate of the Dahlia Dipolito Acting and Crying Academy Institute
Yes, but she's a lawyer and a game show contestant. So now she's playing legal game show.
Tell me about it 🙄
@@texasrefugee7888what's the messed up is that they probably would have gotten away with it if not for Wendi's big mouth. She literally is the weakest link, the name of the game show she was on.
@@MM-qp4pd She threw her brother and her family under the bus right here in this interview. And she was going to frame her new boyfriend! She even tried that. She's truly the center of her universe.
And Elizabeth Holmes
When the detective asks if Wendi can help them find out who did this, she's says she'll try, but SHE SHAKES HER HEAD NO 😶
🧐
Her hysteria is to disarm the interviewer, that amount of hysteria would have huge adrenaline with it and she wouldn’t be able to sit down or make sence or remember stuff, not once does she mentions her kids because she so ashamed of how this affects them
Great spot she's told on herself with the am I a suspect line before she was told about Dan. It looks and sounds like she's laughing not crying to me. Real dupers delight!
I’ve watched this interview so many times in the past 5 years, but never would I have caught all the things you pointed out. Love your channel. Thanks Dr. G!
Dr G ur the best expert body language I’ve seen. Ur so spot on about Wendi
First question out of her mouth, if she were innocent, would have been where are the kids???? Did they see anything?? Are they okay?? Only a guilty person would have known Dan's time of death was after kids were dropped off at daycare. Another thing that haunts me, is Donna's comments to Wendi that she had to be a good actress. Donna said something to the effect, I've seen you perform before, so I know you can do it, This has to be your greatest perfomance ever. Donna was referring to another issue, but it applies here too!!
Excellent point! How come she knows her kids are at school
I had the same thought. The first time her kids are brought up is by the detective. She didn’t ask about them even though Dan had the kids that morning.
I can't imagine voluntarily riding in a police car without knowing exactly what the problem is. I would immediately fear something had happened to my child and demand to know that he was safe. Only after I was assured where he was would I calm down enough to even ask about the rest of my family. And, I still wouldn't go with the police unless they told me why.
This woman's lack of curiosity tipped her hand more than her crazy theatrics.
She is so evil…I really hope for justice and she goes to prison!
Thanks for explaining her lead-up to Charlie and the "Hit-man" joke. It clarifies it a LOT. Now it totally looks like she knew the plan. Watching this again is really horrifying. The performance she is so eager to inject her explanations into prematurely.
@@grandmaida7819 I agree completely. She wraps men around her little finger.
Listen - if I was divorced for a year and in a bitter custody dispute and hated my exes guts (& was innocent) I would not respond this way to the news.
I would be staring in shock & disbelief, maybe even fascination at how could I BE so lucky!
No way would I be sobbing. She way over rehearsed this reaction IMO
Her mama told her to act like your life depended on it! She tried to act and didn't do it very well!
@@DS-tv1cl - DITTO and acting she was!
And noy sobbing like everyone didn’t know that I very literally hated the guy
I really enjoy this commentary. Great speaking voice, Dr. G.
First question should have been “my kids! He had my kids. Are they okay?!”
06:30 "Do you know anybody that would have a beef against your ex-husband?" Good question, let me think. Well, my mother, my father, my brother, me? So, no, nobody! I know this is a lot to ask of her, but I do hope Wendi gets a clue on just how transparent her immense dishonesty is. A 3-year-old could see right through it, and this detective certainly can. I hope she gets time in a prison cell to ponder it. Because her children lost their loving father forever due to her monstrous selfishness, that is indisputable at this point.
Yes 💯👍
Wendi is guilty as sin. One thing I can’t get past- why did she mention the hit man to the repair guy if she knew they actually hired one? For the same day nonetheless.
Maybe because her mind was so consumed about what was going to happen and she couldn't stop running her mouth like in this interview with the detective. She was so in on it. It's incomprehensible how a whole family was behind this murder. And, it's unfortunate that justice has taken so long to be served.
Excited utterance ?
I think she did that and mentioned Charlie first to set Charlie up for it if the law suspected the family.
Wendi has a habit of making excited utterances. Ex. 1: she secretly prepared divorce filings and blinded sided Dan with it, however a close friend of dans talks about how she asked him if she could ‘share something in confidence’ with him, telling him about the upcoming divorce a week or so before she hit Dan with the shocking filing.
Ex. 2: Jeff Lacasse used the same language when he testified that just out of the blue wendi asked him if ‘she could share something in confidence’ and told him Charlie looked into how much a hitman would cost.
These are two men who do not know each other and both describe wendi oversharing info that didn’t fit into the context of their relationship with her or the circumstance of events.
I believe* she really made a mistake telling the tv repair man this statement because now she knows law enforcement is going to check her alibi and he might share this info. Even tho she was prob trying to be funny about this joke / I bet she really regrets telling the tv repair man to this day. It was a pretty reckless statement on her part.
Also - I bet at this point the family still wasn’t sure if the hit was actually going to happen that day, or if maybe they were being set up by law enforcement in a sting operation ( also why Donna would try to wash prints off the money) and Wendi was unsure still if Danny was really murdered or they were caught trying to hire a hitman. There’s so much going on for Wendi in this interview - hence the fishing expeditions she’s going on with the detective.
Also, why did she tell Jeffrey Lacasse her brother looked into hiring a hitman and the price of how much it would cost 🤔
I feel like she was excited and proud of it
I would immediately jump to concerns that my ex was in the hospital, critically injured, but all alone. So, her statement that no one knows he’s there doesn’t seem strange to me.
I haven’t heard any other analysts point out that she said she was worried about being a suspect before she had been told about Dan's having been shot. This looks like huge additional evidence of her complicity in the murder.,
Is it circumstantial evidence or hard evidence. And does it matter. Some people have an issue with this matter
Looks like the "smoking gun" to me.
But is it enough to take action against her? Remember, the state would get one shot at convicting her and they don’t want to mess it up. Now we wait…
@@The_CR_Phil Being taken into a police car to go the the police station would make me think something is very wrong or the police think I'm a suspect for something.I would not go into the car unless the officer told me why.
The concern about being a suspect is very…. Suspect. I’ve been saying this for YEARS! You are the only person I’ve ever seen talk about this.
Dr. G, I am mind blown. You called it with her reaction “first hearing of the shooting” vs not sure if she was a suspect or not.
You need to work in forensics.
Amazing work ❤
I thought he did work in forensic psych? Am I thinking of someone else?
Edit: nope, I’m right- he does
That sobbing doesn't sound real to me.
Dr. G, you’re so good at what you do.
During ride from Mosaic to station with Isom (while wondering if he considered her a suspect), Wendi did NOT ask Isom if the reason she was picked-up at lunch was related to the police activity she had seen at her former home just 60 minutes prior
I wonder what they did talk about. I think if it were me, I would’ve continued to just keep asking… What happened? What is happening? I would be in a total state of panic by the silence.
@@moongoddess8568 Clearly she did get panicked to the point that she forgot she wasn't supposed to know that he'd been shot.
@@moongoddess8568 - I would not have gotten into the police car before asking what do you need me to go with you! I would insist on knowing why and if not told Id say I am not going without my attorney.
@@Asidebar you can be forced by law.
Thank you Dr. G!!! I've watched this interrogation repeatedly, always focusing on the emotion and its validity. Never did I catch that she asked if she was a suspect before she had been told the crime. Unbelievable. I did think, what mother would drive by the crime scene knowing the Dad has the kids, see emergency vehicles and not STOP and make sure the kids were ok. Also, why wouldnt she ask the Detective the same???
Unbelievable! I hope she gets indicted soon!
There’s a lot of blather about this case online but this channel brings so much value and insight. Great job.
Excellent job
You’re right! wendi accidentally admitted she knew of the murder by saying she thought she was a suspect in the car ride before she was even told of the shooting. I assume Georgia Cappleman knows this and is saving this for wendi’s trial. You should forward this info to Georgia just to be sure. Clearly wendi has the main motive for wanting Dan killed which is she hated Dan and wanted him out of her and the kids lives. The fake crying is terrible also.
She absolutely hated him, more than likely due to Dan being smarter and successful to the point that he were holding the Adelsons accountable and beating them through the courts.. so much so that Windi pants Wendi continues to disparage him after his death and contunues to weaponize the kids to get back at the Markels.. who i think are also going to be key in Wendi's trial. Lets see what additional evidence ( against Wendi ) is also retrieved from Donna's phone whilst she's tucked safely away in Leon County.
That didn't happen in the car
@@Asidebar yes it did, at the police station wendi said in the interrogation to the investigator “I wasn’t sure if you were considering me a suspect in the car ride because of the way you were talking to me” listen to this video again and the narrator points it out. She didn’t say it in the car but she refers to the car ride in the interrogation.
She is so telling on herself with her clever words and actions. Her mom said she needed to 'give the performance of her life'. Its so very obvious, even to the untrained eye! Thanks for your analysis, Dr. G!
I still don’t understand how an experienced detective could fall for her fake behavior.
Could be the power of white woman's tears, especially one of a pretty rich lady
He didn't fall for anything. He got her into talking for 5 hrs straight and gave up a lot of info without resistance. This detective knew exactly what he was doing 😅
@@MM-qp4pd Actually it was pretty genius to wait until they got her to the police station to say Dan had been shot.
Do not assume the detective fell for anything!
If he believed her why did he need the phone!!
She said she had laryngitis and didn’t talk to him for about a week , they needed to talk about the school, she knew he was going to be murdered that’s why she didn’t want to talk. People they interviewed said her voice was fine
I agree, I caught that too
@MD-fg5wd Who said people said that? From where areyou getting that?
I find it very odd that the first thing out of her mouth when told “Dan has been shot” that she didn’t immediately ask, “where are my kids? Are they okay?” … unless she already knew the answer. It sure seems like she had a lot of those answers.
I’ve been saying the exact same thing about that statement!!! Agree 100 percent! I’m also bothered by 1) Her statement about losing her voice and being unable to talk to Dan all week until Friday. Imo it was a way to have tabs on him Friday …determining when they would discuss the son’s school placement. The hit failed the time before and they needed solid whereabouts on Dan Friday, so she had to put him off until Friday to have a reason to check in on his scheduled plans. 2). Her cloying behavior with the Victim Advocate. 3) Wendi does a giant smile during hysterical crying as the victim advocate leaves the room. It’s as if she felt she could groom the young victim advocate as if it had some bearing on suspicions of her.
Thank you thank you Dr. G for your analysis of Wendi!! She is a real piece of work to say it politely!! I know she knew of this horrific crime and want to see her brought to justice for Dan Markel!!
Wow wow wow you nailed this - she’s trying so hard to get info and she is a terrible actor. I hope they go after her.
Dr G you catch and point out and explain some absolutely mind blowing amazing things.
I never ever want your vids to end! lol
Her initial reaction when told of the shooting was just like Dalia Dippolito’s fake reaction when told her husband was killed.
Yes! They sound identical.
This interaction gets weirder and weirder every time I watch!!!!!
I can hardly stand to watch it again bc I can’t stand her and her BS but when I do breakdown and give it a go-- every single time it gets worse and worse for her!! The most of reasons she is guilty AF can start and end right here as far as I’m concerned.
Who hears there has been a shooting at their ex’s house and nods her head in understanding and then doesn’t ask about the kids!!!?!!!!! Or even about Danny!?!?!?! I know people say it all the time. But watching it back it’s BIZARRE
I cannot stomach her!!!!!! Fake!!azzzz
WOW!!! I have been immersed in this trial for years watching every single video. You are the first to pick up on that.!! Please send this to Carl Steinbeck
Yes do a collab with Carl!!!!
Why send it to Carl?
DR G so many great observations on this! Just blew my mind! Great job as always sir! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your precious wife and your children and family!
I agree with you. My mind is blown 💥
That's what I call a in your face utterance of guilt right off the bat
She couldn't be more full of shit if she tried. EXCELLENT POINT, Dr. G about the suspect issue. I cannot WAIT for justice to come for her.
This!!
The point you brought out about Wendi asking if she's a suspect is very telling. I wonder when she realized that she screwed up during her acting debut
Her brother is the first person she throws out there. Wow. Hey Charlie that’s your sister who framed you.
Dr. G you are so smart. That suspect in the police car analysis is brilliant. That detective was fooled by Wendy.
Detective wasn't necessarily fooled. Sometimes they are good actors.
Thank you Dr. G for such an objective discussion about her behavior! Another explanation for why she could be worried she was a suspect is anxiety. If I was asked to ride in a police car to the station, I would be panicking about all the possible reasons, including whether they thought I was a suspect in something I didn’t have any knowledge about. I don’t think that’s what happened here, but I can see how it’s possible to be afraid you’re a suspect even if you don’t know what crime the police are investigating.
I got chills just seeing that you were going to analyze this part of the interview!!!! all of us women and maybe some man that have a lot of good. Intuition have always cringed at her crying scene.
This is fantastic!!!!! So much better than the behavior panels analysis of Wendi. Thank you Dr G!!!!!!
That is huge! The fact that she had not been told anything about what had happened but yet she's asking the investigator if she is a suspect and you are right a suspect of what?
I think, deep deep down in her heart, she is fine saying things that could allude to someone doing this for her. Also, she has no problem throwing Charlie under the bus. I think in her heart of hearts she doesn’t care about her family one bit and would love to be free of their control. And have all their money.
I completely agree. Wendi out evil’d her mother. When the student becomes the master! She needs thrown in jail with the rest of ‘em.
Rest in peace, Dan 🤍🕊️
You amaze me with your insight and logic. Once you explain it, you can’t miss how she is quizzing him.
In just the first 5 minutes I think you have broken (meaning solved/shown the evidence for it to go forward) the case against Wendi! I knew liked your assessments before but this is brilliant.
Once she was provided with the information he was shot, would have been the moment an innocent mother demanded protection of her children. Unless of course you know otherwise. You would not care if the police suspected you or anything else. Then she displayed the ability to ask probing questions related to her involvement! Dr.G is brilliant.
Excellent! You pointed out behaviours I had never noticed or had others. I had a hard time listening to her because of that fake wailing.
Dr. G thank you for covering this! Very interesting and informative. You’re awesome!
Wow. You are the first commentator who has told me that re. suspect! @2:50. That is outrageous, Dr G! She can be convicted on that alone! And I've watched 100 of hours of this case and commentary, lol. How did the commentators miss that little fact?
I missed it too and I’ve been following this case for way too long. 🤣🤣🤣
Point taken, but I’m pretty sure they’ll need a whole lot more than that to lock her up. Wouldn’t be much of a “justice system” if she could be convicted with so little.🤷♀️
Sure, but Co-conspirator in the murder of Dan Markel seems pretty obvious. She got way ahead of herself in her acting. @@kindtimetraveler
It's sooo worth following for so many reasons. Family dynamics, psychology, divorce, the hitmen and Magbanua, Crazy Charlie etc etc. So many lives destroyed and children losing their parents b/c of this selfish family and possibly one person who manipulated everybody including herself right into a jail cell for life!@@andreambrownridge7642
I would like to see the video of the cop car ride and what the cop actually told her at the restaurant
Thanks, Dr G! You brought up so many important questions about her behavior. For me, I thought her intense deep breathing and convulsive - like crying felt over the top. Especially when punctuated with pointed questions. Thanks again!!
GOOD CATCH on the "suspect" angle, Dr. G!
Could you please analyze her reaction when the detective first tells her the Dan was shot? Even though everyone reacts differently, I would say most people like 99% would have at least a few moments if not more of denial “what? Are you sure? Are you sure it was Dan? What are you talking about?” she does none of that. She just burst out crying.
Glad you picked that up about the ride in the police car! Was wondering if anyone else noticed that !
