The Terrifying Case Of Dan Markel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 фев 2023
- Tallahassee, Florida, is normally a quiet, rural suburb. But when a university professor is left bleeding uncontrollably on his driveway, that would all change. The man’s name, is Dan Markel, a seemingly popular man with two young sons and all to live for. Police are left with no clues, suspects, DNA, and only one vague witness. This case would not be solved quickly or easily. The police would need to use their experience and patience to get to the bottom.

Dan will not get justice until that whole family goes to jail. The mother, ex-wife and brother were all in on it. What a horrible bunch of people.
I agree
Exactly.
100 percent
May you consider the truth of the matter re: our human nature. For we're not sinners because we sin; rather, we sin because we're born sinners.. having already a sin nature.
I do agree...
A man with seemingly no enemies (except his ex-wife and her family). RIP Dan.
Don't judge
U never know behind doors what he did that made her cut him off isn't easy.
Maybe he molested his child
I don't know.but I can think worst thing someone did to be cut off by his ex wife and her kids
to go this exterme that she even had to change her kids name
Every story has 2 sides
I'm judg ng you for your poor grammar.
There wasn't any evidence presented in Court that he molested his children, just a self entitled family that thought they were above the law.
@@mrshidane8353 Totally agree. She married him had two children with him. He must of done something. She didn't leave for another man.
@@mrshidane8353 all I see is a spoiled brat and a family that is willing to kill for her! Disgusting!
that coward weaponised the courts and used the kids as pawns it seems.
dan had it coming tbh
Donna Adelson has been indicted today by a Grand Jury in Leon County, November 15 2023, for first degree murder, conspiracy and solicitation of murder. She was arrested yesterday along with her husband at the airport, at 10:30 pm Monday November 13, 2023 -- with one way tickets to Vietnam, only one week after her son Charlie (the dentist) was convicted of murder for hire. Wendy is likely considered a suspect and is still at large. She is probably under FBI surveillance. So it looks like someone (73 yr old Donna?) may need to cut a deal and squeal on her daughter. This story in its detail is even more hateful than anyone could have expected. Parents, share responsibilities, and drop the strife. You could save a life
Спасибо
we can only hope for justice.
I hope that they ALL face a jury of their peers and get the justice they EACH deserve, and just maybe Dan could finally rest in peace! The only thing is that these horrific actions have now left those poor kids without either parent! They will pay with their childhood being taken from them, a far cry from the love Dan showered on those boys! As a dad myself, this makes me so very sick! 😢
Great news...now we want Wendy arrested then justice will be serves.
Thanks for the update 👍
Changing a childs surname is so cruel to the father. Its disgusting when parents try to get the kids involved in custody battles. What a nasty mother
My parents are still fighting over my name to this day
This is exactly what my daughter's mother tried to do and let me say from personal experience it is a truly awful thing to go through as a loving Dad. It feels like a living bereavement as you are being erased from your child's life, the pain is very tough to stay alive through. Doesn't help that the family courts here in the UK are so biased in favour of females. Thanks for your empathic comment anyway 🙏❤️
@@TomNoles007the courts here in the US aren't much better on that score. Completely biased to the mother's side!
another reason not to have kids
It sounds like Wendi was raised to be a spoiled brat. Her parents are in part to blame for raising such an awful person.
The person that narrates all this cases is extremely professional and makes it really easy and enjoyable to listen to these podcasts
no criticism here, just a comment; that voice grates me... then again, i liked my neighbor's Great Pyrenees dog barking outside my window all night. we are all so different!
this is his channel. His name is Jason.

I like when the narrator on these types of videos sounds deranged and murky, with moody background music. It puts you more on edge, like a horror movie.
These clinical narrations are good too... gives you a crime channel tv program feel, if you like that.
"enjoyable" ??
@@adambane1719 Why would you find it surprising that people enjoy true crime content on a true crime channel?
Dan’s in-laws are pure evil, hope the brother gets 1st degree as well and hope Dan’s parents get shared custody too
Hopefully, they will get some more evidence on the mother-in-law and Wendi and they will go to prison so Dan's parents can get full custody. Like they said at the end, maybe Charlie will spill some beans when his trial starts.
All of us following the case on AALegal want to see Donna and Wendi indicted.
@@shellycarner992 Absolutely! Especially the mother in law. I think it is quite possible that her brother and mother kept it from her so that she could be questioned and answer honestly. I am so very happy that the low life brother is facing trial after all this time.
@@franco634 I thought maybe in the beginning, but she tried to drive by the house, was turned around and then lied about it. And I think she tried to point in the direction of Jeff LaCasse - she didn't know he had left early.
No one knows what the secrets of the marriage were. There's always more to the story when this type of hatred is developed. I judge no one....not Donna, or Wendi, or any of the people. This is merely a story that people can listen and learn from.
Donna Adelson was arrested on Nov 13, 2023 trying to board a flight with a one way ticket to Vietnam.
lol
Next shud be the daughter
Good. It was obvious she was trying to flee.
I read it was BOTH she and her husband. I hope it WAS both of them. It's about time !!
What part of ' there has been a gunshot -my neighbor is in a bad way: He's still alive but can't respond to me', wouldn't muster a sense of urgency to a 911 operator? 🤯
You must have heard that ABSOLUTELY stupid 911 operator. When I heard it, I even made up new cuss words aimed at that imbecile of a 911 operator !! TEN years later, I STILL cuss that 911 operator. I hope that fool was fired !!
Don’t stop until both of those evil women are in prison.
@@sjb3460 this is justice system in USA. always protect rich people
@@lightwave9588 rich and a female, very light justice
God is watching so all the people involved in this horrible crime will soon all be judged and punished.
I;m sure she;s on some board of directors someplace, in a HR role, admin role, etc, and Wendi has skimmed through danger and justice just fine
You forgot white.
Wendi and Donna definitely need to answer for this as well.
donna might answer for it, but i dont think wendi will. i watched the trial, and her on the stand. a few things that were very evident to me were; wendi is very charming and extremely intelligent, and she knows the law very very well. so well, that if she had been charged, and chose to represent herself and took the stand as she did for the other trials of the assailants, that there would be no possible way that all jurors would find her guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. her "act" on the stand was by the books. i think the state knows this, and with only one ace card in their hand ( her ex's testimony), they would need her brother to provide some very damning evidence on their behalf because they only get one shot to prove her guilty and that one ace is not enough. only time will tell!
@@ojihkush6128 I agree with you. I think she was aware that events were to take place, but kept herself disconnected from it at least as far as a paper trail is concerned and she is smart enough not to entrap herself.
Karma's a bitch. They'll get their just desserts.
She got almost total immunity for testifying
Her brother needs to go down
I'm currently 41 and just watched this video and I don't think I'll ever get over how bad I feel for Dan, his parents, his sons, his students, and his co-workers. He got killed for his right to be with his kids. He didn't even fight the 50/50 until Wendi tried to take off with them. Compromises only work if both parties stay in their lanes. Unfortunately it seems Donna's poisonous entitlement that seeped into her children is the root cause. This case is all about motherhood, and how it can be weaponized into evil. Sadly Dan's mom was the only innocent & good mother in this story and she lost her son. The world sucks sometimes.
@crime_scoper-x1466 One has seen many things by 41. stfu
@@crime_scoper-x1466 The victim was 41
Update: Charlie Adelson found guilty, Donna Adelson arrested 1 week later attempting to leave the country.
I'll never understand this. I don't particularly care for my ex, but he's my kids' father and I would never wish him any harm. My kids' pain is my pain. People need to suck it up. You choose to make kids with someone, understand it's forever, no matter if you decide to split up. Craziness.
This quote has been my mantra since my ex and I divorced years ago... "love your child(ren) more than you hate your ex".
Exactly! I don't care for my ex either. We are divorced for almost 20years. But we have a daughter and I have never said one bad word about her father. We are both civilized people and we both love our daughter more than we hate our differences and our failed marriage. No matter what, he will always be her father
So true, my ex did ubuse my. He is still ther father. My thinking is the same something hurts my childeren its hurts my.
I hope more ppl who are sharing custody of children with their ex will read this. I grew up with divorced parents who tried to keep us from the other. It was hell growing up.
@@victoriaaaaaawestaaa Hallo Victoria; this is not regarding the subject,. Please, don't mind me asking but I just wanted to knowif you also come from Germany,like myself?
In my opinion, based on the information from this video, there are 2 women that have not yet been met with justice.
or botox...
witches. power and money. also female privilege
Or both
Donna and her husband were both arrested trying to flee the country after their son was convicted. wendi is still free at the moment.
@@archersterling8707 only Donna was arrested, her husband has not been arrested or charged with anything, as they do not have evidence that he was involved.
“Just happened to be driving up my old street, but it was blocked?” Seems something that should have been checked out…
@janawright1715 Yes, she told that detective that she "got lost" & drove by there "only by accident". The odd thing to me, even when she saw an ambulance and all the police & the street blocked, she NEVER asked what was going on. ALL of that only one block from her former home, knowing her children were visiting their father.
The 911 operator should be fired for not telling the ambulance how bad it was. 19 mins. 😮
…… when a call comes from dispatch, telling the crew “it’s bad” doesn’t change the speed of response. It’s just shitty writing from an uneducated writer
R.I.P Dan. I hope all involved are brought to justice.
Amen 🕊️
power money she got away with it
@@tankthearc9875
hilarious
Updates: The brother in law, Charlie, ended up with a life sentence for first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, and solicitation of first-degree murder. He’s currently in the process of appealing, but this is extremely unlikely to be successful, as new evidence came out during his trial that pretty much directly implicated him in the murder-for-hire scheme. The mother in law, Donna, was caught whilst trying to flee to Vietnam, a non-extradition country, after the son’s conviction. She is also facing a life sentence for first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and solicitation of murder, but we still have to see how the trial plays out. A true coward, trying to run, and desert what little remains of her family as the walls are finally closing in. And unfortunately Wendi, the daughter/ex-wife, has yet to see any justice.
Such a horrible family. Society doesn't need nasty people like that. Poor Dan Markel, rest in peace.
seems merkel weaponised the courts and used the kids as pawns to get back at his ex wife.
he had it coming
Poor kids too. 😢
Poor children. Mommy hates Danny n have him murdered by grandma n uncle.. poor dan parents!
@Ambander1 No idea what you are saying
Society is *full* with such people. Generally they don't watch RUclips ...
Ordering the dearh of the father of your children or grandchildren is proof they don't care about the children at all.
The whole family was involved in this conspiracy and should be heald accountable to the fullest extent of the law
Now they are
No doubt it was a family affair. All of them belong in prison.
@@allenuconn All except Wendi are in jail now. As far as we know the case is still open with wendi still being a suspect.
It’s hard to believe that the person that wrote the checks was not involved. Writing the checks should have been enough evidence
It's not what they know it's what they can prove. We're all convinced she had a hand in Dan's murder..but it's not enough to put forward a case unless Charlie decides to sing
@@midnytevega2777 The cheques were for murder, according to the court testimony.
@@midnytevega2777 but one of the two (or both) did sing, didnt they? This makes no sense to me. I understand that Charlie Anderson ,but why would Katherine Magbanua be arrested, and tried WITHOUT Donna (or somebody). Did I miss something, but isnt it clear that she was paid by Donna???????
It's not over yet.
@Statistics Tell a Story Good question. The answer is, Kathrine was sentenced to life without parole based on the phone call she had with the hitman who sang.
It wasn't based on the checks signed by Donna. Like Midnyte Vega says, we all know Donna is guilty, but there's a reason they have to prove it before convicting her.
They don't want a situation where they sentence Donna before proof, and she gets a defense that can present evidence that it was the brother who made up a story for her to sign the checks, and we have a mistrial.
They need to prove it wasn't all the brother's doing with the planning of the checks first, in order to avoid this.
Also, it is to get the casework straight (in this completely unique and difficult sort of tragedy) for the purpose of ultimately finding more proof that the ex was involved with the murder more than just one testimony that they can't verify at the moment.
How inept are the law-enforcement and DA in this county? The mother-in-law signed checks for someone to be murdered , he was murdered, and she’s not arrested??? Ridiculous!!!
EXACTLY. I DONT KNOW DAN BUT I'M SO ANGRY
We all know it, but for justice to work it has to convict beyond all reasonable doubt. Otherwise most days you’ll get the right guy, and every now and then you’ll send an innocent person to life in prison.
Unless someone knew someone or was paid off.
Female privilege.
Because that's not how the law works. The checks didn't say "for murder" in the memo. They could say they were for ANYTHING. You have to prove things.
This channel is my new favorite crime podcast. You put these together so well and you also have the best, speaking voice. kudos!
Just watched today so I googled the case and Donna was just arrested 😳
All Dan wanted was to be a father. I believe the mother in law and ex wife were involved. Such a senseless murder .RIP Dan 🙏🙏
Who gets to benefit the most from Dan’s murder? The Ex-Wife! She is obviously the instigator!
Her mother was in it too since she hated the son-in-law so much and she issued the cheques to the killer
Wendi and Donna certainly were. They belong in prison. They'll probably flee to Israel to avoid justice.
Don't judge
U never know behind doors what he did that made her cut him off isn't easy.
Maybe he molested his child
I don't know.but I can think worst thing someone did to be cut off by his ex wife and her kids
to go this exterme that she even had to change her kids name
Every story has 2 sides
Oh, absolutely.
In my opinion (and experience as a child protection social worker) if there has been any suspicion or indication of child abuse, this is discussed as part of child arrangements. The ex wife would have used this to stop or limit any contact with Ben and since she didn’t we can only assume there was no suspicion or evidence of such. RIP Dan and hopefully your ex and her family will be served their just deserts.
Poor kids...I can't imagine how hard it will be when they realize their relatives, and very probably even their mother, were responsible for the murder of their dad.
Something to keep an eye on. Revenge from the next generation is often an afterthought.
My parents were friends with him and when I was little we had a dinner with him and hearing about this now gives me the chills
I bet

@mrshidane8353: What a preposterous comment. If Dan had done that to his kids, then his ex-wife would bring it up in the divorce proceedings and be awarded full custody of their kids.
@@mrshidane8353You sound silly.
Katherine Magbanua is a mother to 2 young children, and the prosecution offered her a get out of jail free card if she turned on the Adelson's & she refused!!! It boggles the mind!!! Rip Dan & I hope his children are doing ok.
They would have her killed. She is probably better off in prison.
Filipino women "can be" narcissistic and hold themselves unaccountable in the EXTREME.. Maybe she felt she could talk and gaslight her way out of trouble. Guaranteed that her lawyers insisted she take the dsl. Evidently true to that stereotype, she clearly blew them off.
This case is always unnerved me. What an evil woman she has to do that to her baby daddy. She makes me sick. I just feel so badly for what he had to go through with her before he died.
He was her husband, not her baby daddy.
this was heartbreaking 💔I pray Wendy is convicted. she's such an evil woman
Watch her testimony at trial! You will roll your eyes so much, you will have a headache for a month! Pure EVIL!
@@cb-pc1df I agree! I don’t like watching her get away with so much and then do what she did to Dans parents ! I hate her and don’t feel any guilt about it!
The fact that she wanted the last names changed, tells me she had less than just "irreconcilable differences" and a mere falling out with her ex husband. It tells me she was planning to get away from him and had a lot of help from her family. The only thing I'm not really sure on, is if she had her motivations planted by her mother or if she was orchestrating them herself, no doubt her mother played a role and was poisoning the well of the marriage, trying to get it to end. If you once loved someone, you don't try and cut them out completely. And there is absolutely zero evidence that Dan was in any way abusive. My guess is that Wendi and her family all agreed that he wasn't measuring up to "their" expectations and they all wanted to disassociate.
pray lol
I pray for her to get away from this case because if she is evil, god created evil and has the power to do so and she will get a promotion after she dies in hell for doing her job🤣😂🤣you all crazy to juge somebody the way you do like you know everything
The ex mother in law signed the checks and the ex wife talked to her friend about it and none of them is being prosecuted? Very strange!

Donna has been arrested for this. Her trial starts 9/17/24. So far Wendi is the only one who has avoided justice.
To take your grandchildren’s father away for the rest of their life, all because he lived too far is astoundingly selfish
I watched a podcast about this case. This family are so sick and narcissistic that their own oldest son left them while before this murder. If I remember correctly he is a doctor who lives in a state far from his parents and siblings and doesn’t talk to them. Also, the Adelson's have refused to grant the grandchildren any access to their grandparents (Dan’s parents) which is really cruel that not only they lost their son but his killers have custody of their grandchildren.
Horrible, hateful people
I remember hearing this case before. I believe Katherine was offered a great deal. Something like 10 - 15 years, or something, to plead guilty. But her female attorney convinced her to fight it, as "they couldn't prove her involvement". So she didn't take the deal and was sentenced to life. Katherine was shocked at verdict /sentencing and her lawyer just sat and cried. Knowing she just failed her client big time!! Karma!!
I think that was the first trial she was offered that sentence. But she got a hung jury due to wonder feeling sorry for her children. In the retrial she might’ve been offered time served. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. And she refused that or whatever the offer and then was found guilty in the second trial. Terrible attorneys!
@@MBB9394 she would’ve had to have taken the deal if she was offered that the first time, and if she plead guilty there would have been no possibility of there being a mistrial. They don’t have a jury decide if someone’s innocent if they’re already pleading guilty. Her lawyer is horrible.
Yes, and she recently just proffered with State prosecutors (results not public yet) but she basically fessed up after the second trial and loss.
Magbanua private attorneys were hired by the Adelsons. The attorneys had one job, convince Magbanua to never snitch on Wendi, Donna or Charlie.
I recall that Katie’s attorneys were hired by the Adelsons so no chance of her taking a deal to finger Charlie
Charlie was found guilty of murdering Dan on Nov. 6th 2023 and will be sentenced to Life in prison.
I’m glad justice was served.
Fwiw, he won't be sentenced until Dec. 12.

She knew. It's overwhelmingly suspicious a person would act so upset after literally trying to take everything away from him. Even going as far as changing her kids names. She had everything to gain. She knew it, they knew it, and we know it. So there was no reason at all for her to be upset.
Maybe but she is kinda cute
@@kharismamessamthe change of name occurred I believe after his death, I don’t believe she would’ve been able to do that without his permission and I believe she cut off all access to his family so Dan’s parents haven’t seen his kids in years.

Interesting that his wife and her family projected onto Dan that he was the narcissist!
Well done, thank you for not playing music like other videos, it's so annoying!
Wendi and Donna need to be held accountable! They stay out of jail because their money
Yes, with money you can do everything 😃😃😃
The tribute to the victim at the beginning is very classy. I feel like other channels rarely take a moment to recognize that this is more than just a story - it’s someone ELSE’s actual, real life reality.
Why leave his so-called EX out of this? She and her mom and brother should have the death penalty.
Why the smaller criminal faces the consequences and leave the big ones out? Not saying the the three people that was charged and sentenced, doesn’t deserve what they got. Yes I support that but wanted to see these three go down first
A powerful story, well told. Thank you for taking the time to tell this story.
What a horrible family 😢 RIP Dan.

@@migz121 Donna, maybe Donna, but I see no proof for wendi. Please show me the proof for wendi.
@richardcarroll9864 Wendi confessed to her ex-boyfriend, she changed the last names of the two boys, she took everything from their house except a bed and divorce papers, she never asked how her two kids were when Mr. Markel was murdered. Who would benefit the most from having Mr. Markel killed, Wendi off course‼️ Yes, is mostly "circumstantial evidence," but most cases are circumstantial.
@@richardcarroll9864did you not hear the Part where she talkes with her ex about hiring a hitman ?seems pretty guilty to me
Talk about female privilege, Jesus. The mother in law was paying the hitmen with personal checks and it still wasn't enough to get her charged. The ex-wife told someone about her brothers plot to hire a hitman and it still wasn't enough to get her charged. They were both clearly complicit in all of it, to have them walking the streets is insane.
Those are really good points. How can you write checks to the murderers and not get charged? The ex wife was the only one with a very clear motive and there's clear evidence of her involvement. How is she not charged? It seems that there is a significant bias against men in our legal system.
Tallahassee….a quiet, rural suburb?!?! You lost me right there!!!!
Tallahassee lassies are best avoided. ..?
R I P Dan, you were one of the dad's who actually wanted to be a dad and be in your boy's lives.
Sad they have had to grow up without you.
Amazing that his ex and her mother are still walking around free...talk about female privilege!
I find it so questionable how Wendy went to such extreme lengths to cut off all contact of Dan even going as far as changing their kids' middle names cause they were from Dan's relatives. Like what could have happened to make her go through those lengths? Was it justifiable or was there a sketchy motive? Maybe this is a stretch but it almost seems like she was premeditating his murder and this was her way of pretending he never existed after the deed was done. I do wonder if her mother and brother put those ideas in her head or if they're all equally in on it.
Wendy was the source of evil she fed her family enough hate,which made them kill.hope she pays for this horrible crime.
Are you aware that she wrote a work of bad fiction in which she foreshadowed the murder. It was semi-Autobiographical. She definitely planned this for years

Crazy guess: Wendy grew up not hearing the word “no” too terribly much…
Her parents worship the ground she walks on. They reportedly have a shrine-like place in their home to display all of her achievements. They also infantilized her as an adult ... For instance, Wendi was not allowed to drive to Miami by herself with her two sons even though she was in her early 30s. Her parents and brother Charlie were overly involved with her day to day. She played off this dynamic to get them instigated and angry enough to fund the murder... that's what I think.
@@ladycymbeline This is interesting. I have difficulty believing her horrible actions came without any previous cruelty to schoolmates or others.
@@scallopohare9431Yes. The funny thing about malignant narcissists (I suspect) like Wendi, is they are incredibly charming. She has had a very successful career, even a television appearance, a robust resume with prestigious appointments and honors. And she does have a lot of people on her side, even to this day. This case is so incredible for me for these twists and turns with people covering for each other, deepest, darkest secrets and then this public facade as they carry out their plan to publicly deny all involvement. The Adelsons are horrified that this came back to them. It wasn't part of the plan to trace the shooters back to the Miami area and link them to the family! Hold on- going to be a crazy ride with Katie's confession and cooperation and Charlie's upcoming trial! We'll find out the truth about Wendi soon enough. I can't see Charlie throwing away his entire life for lil' sis.
Typical with most women, especially if they're above average looking.
Wendi is the epitome of what's wrong in this world. Every child has 2 parents, like it or not. Keeping your child(ren) away from either parent is criminal. Children need both parents and there is no reason on earth that ex can't co-parent. This is beyond disgusting. What horrible and selfish people.
No. When one parent is abusive it’s natural to want to protect your children from them. Poor her
@ourcrazy8 protecting your child is one thing, but lying to get your own way is another. Think about it. How would you feel? She clearly hated him and wanted to move close to her family. Her son showed no signs of abuse.
I like your point that no matter what, kids need both parents. Only mature people do it this way
@@taghreedee Thank you. I've been a mental healthcare therapist for years and I find the parents and the kids are much, much happier when we can provide a safe and supportive environment for them.
Kids do need both. But when is abusive they don’t need that. They need protected. Period. Period. Period. You can’t argue that and be right. She hates him because he abused them all. Of course.
Great eye - opening vid ; so relieved to be single and safe , and enlightened .
The ambulance arrived 19 minutes later ??????? What did this guy do ? This appears to a massive conspiracy.....
I remember this case. It took years to catch the killers. Dan Markel never deserved to be killed! He looks like a kind, friendly, guy in the photo.
Can't believe the cops haven't got the real criminals yet. pathetic
Wendy and the mom for sure. How much do you think the dad knew?
I'm sick of hearing Wendy's stupid smug face playing dumb like, "I didn't know anything."
Exactly that 👆
At least they don't have the wrong ones ...
I suspect its because the investigators bought the BS story Rivera told. This sort of thing happens all the time. Its clear the guy knew nothing.
In what case would the mother of the deceased’s ex’s signature on the cheques in the killer’s bank account not be evidence enough to arrest and charge!?
There’s quite obviously some degree of belonging to the same club at play here.
Be careful who you choose as your partner whether job-related or whatever. The said lady is the core architect of the murder
It's obvious the whole family knew exactly what was going on. You don't sign numerous big checks totaling $100,000 to a random woman without knowing. That's a material amount of money for a dental practice.
The narrator has a wholesome dad vibe and I love it. So soothing
Donna may have regained access to her daughter and grandkids, by instigating the hard feelish, and eventual death of Markel, but in the process, she has lost her son, for life, too.
I wonder what Wendi will do when her kids reach adolescence and also "ruin her life". She already changed their names because she despised their father, yet she'll always know who dad really is. Those children are in danger with her. Someone needs to call CPS and nip this in the bud before the inevitable happens.
Charlie was just found guilty. Waiting for Donna and Wendi next.
Wendi has immunity.
Did I miss something, they said Donna signed all the checks? How is that not enough to indict her?
Also I feel for those kids being stuck with their soulless mother. I hope the kids are alright.
I think she signed all the checks for his dental practice so (a lawyer could argue) that she simply did as directed and paid for a consultant or something.
Pay attention folks. The checks were for $10K to Katie, before and after the murder. The checks did not have a memo stating it was for the murder of Dan. There's no evidence that will stand up in court to convict the ex-MIL of paying Katie to arrange the murder. The police must get some form of communication between the 2 women, or Katie must offer testimony against the ex-MIL.
I find the ex-wife is involved, since her ex-boyfriend says she mentioned getting a hitman. This clearly shows she and her family had plotted first-degree murder.
Exactly!
She just got arrested yesterday
@@gtw4546 She can claim anything, but a jury is entitled to infer beyond a reasonable doubt the guilt of someone who expresses actual animus against a victim and signs checks whose proceeds paid hitmen to kill the victim.
A woman spiteful enough to take a father's last name away from her son's is certainly spiteful enough to take the father's life!
Yeah. Changing someone surname is pretty much the same as murder. 💀
I tell these dudes all the time to wrap it up!! Not even worth it with the potential havoc these sick women can cause.. I’ll try my chances abroad..
When the police asked Wendy to come to the station they did not tell her what for. She cooperated and got in the police cruiser. One of the first questions she asked wasn't what happened, it was " am I a suspect"??😮
Im also in the same boat as Dan. Denied to see my son. And my hate towards my husband is increasing. One day when I was talking to my son on watsapp, my son was saying that he dont want to stay with his dad and want to take him from there and once his dad came and sat beside him, he became completely silent. He did not utter a word. Poor fellow is very helpless. Even Im fighting for his custody. Please pray for me and my son Alvan Moses
I wonder who got into Wendy’s head that made her hate him so much? She went to such extreme measures by changing their names. Hopefully justice will catch up to her & her mother.
Absolutely! You know both of that sk*nky "women" knew ! They claim they love their grandchildren/children but take away such a vital component of those precious boys lives!
beyond petty
Insular families can percolate a lot of hate.
Strange though she was able to legally change their names when dad still had 50/50 custody.
@@estellar8186 Wendi unofficially changed them less than a month after his murder by registering them in school with her last name. Officially changed them before the year was out after Dan's murder. Some of the facts in this video are slightly wrong.
Dude, when it comes to narration, you got a gift man
He invented the Markel Tree. A brilliant concept.
I don’t get why the mother in law wasn’t investigated
What a tragedy for the Markel family. And how sad to see the justice system exact punishment on the poor and not the rich.
Exactly 💯. The poor paid for the crime that the rich organized
Nothing goes hidden from almighty. You see karma is really a bit*h 😂
You said it…a terrible situation and so unfair…it’s astonishing what the rich can get away with…
Wendi is some kind of special evil and so spiteful. Feel really bad for Mr. Markel (May he R.I.P) and his children having to live with what their mother did to their dad. Peace to his family and friends. Hopefully justice will be done and WENDI gets her comeuppance, Donna too.
I honestly think she is innocent.
Yes her ex boy friend spoke her innocence. If she knew her bro had some plans she should have strongly objected and updated police or her ex husband. No matter what you can’t go on killing people to make your life as you need. That shows how much of a small mind this family had.
Well he was an abuser
People are cold hearted soul less remorse less pathological liars selfish money crazy
Not all
But some.
Such cold people pride themselves on being practical
As they say after all Money rules
But there are people rich people who are warm generous giving caring sacrificing
Good vs Evil.
Well
Everyone is 100 sure wendi is behind it.
But
If she is
She is the greatest actress of all time.
Because
Reading her face.
It tells a different story.
By the way
Good people are not good always.
A person who seemingly is praised by all
May not be that amazing person in reality
Two things
The Law.
Secondly
Divine punishment.
If wendi is free
2 things
The law has proved incapable of giving justice
God knows everything
Truth is truth.
Proof is proof
Just because no,proof
Does not mean innocent
And
Does not mean guilty
The one who,has done it knows.
One thing is sad.
The children are fatherless.
That tragedy is the greatest.
The dentist brother looks like the live version of Big Mouth
I had one relationship with a very possisive female lawyer.
She actually said "if I can't have you no one can" when I had ended our relationship and proceeded to stalk and physically attack me for breaking up with her after our engagement. Once I recd a restraining order she was sususpended from the state bar and ordered to take anger management before she could practice law again.
So sad how anger can create more crime than reported in our main stream media.
Thank you for your reply to a true story...
@@SteveReneMedia😂
She was not believable at the police station
Or on the stand. Both times.
My ex pretended to be out of state visiting family. She cleaned out the house while I was at work and was dropping the roll up door to leave when I pulled up. That's a gut punch. 😳
Should’ve been a good partner sweetie
@@feliciaboston6365 I was. Her often used phrase was "husband's give their wives money, that's what husband's do" she maxed out the credit card and left me to pay it which took years to pay off. I bailed her out of a $600 bill she didn't pay and she was about to be sued. She never introduced me as her husband. If she were on the phone I was described as a house guest, or if we were out and she was on the phone she would tell someone she's "with a friend and had to go." I was just there to pay the bills. So yeah...maybe if SHE were a better partner...sweetie....instead of telling me at the divorce hearing "I knew the marriage was in trouble, I just didn't care" oh and after the divorce she wanted to keep the joint bank account so she had money if she needed it. So yeah, pause your judgment on who needed to be the better partner, Felicia.
R.I.P. Dan 😢 You not only lived for your children, but fought so hard that you were willing to die for them too! Sadly, you were the parent that should have raised these youngsters, keeping them as far as possible from that sick and twisted family that brought your early demise to fruition! It’s so obvious that you and your family put light into this world, but that of your ex only sheds further darkness!
The dispatcher who didn't tell the ambulance to hurry should be held accountable too, if he knew the state of the victim.
I love the voice of the person who narrates!
I’m a new subscriber going through the whole list!
Thank you for offering condolences to the families, and for not having ANY music in the background!❤
I pity Dan's children. Makes me shiver.
It seems to me that both Wendy and Donna were fully involved in every aspect of the conspiracy, solicitation, and commission of the murder. I have sympathy for the children and their having to grow to adulthood without either parent, yet it seems that their mother and maternal grandmother beling in prison for the remainder of their lives.
That 911 dispatcher didnt give a shit
Little miss owl tee shirt is guilt just like her mother and brother and the two men they paid plus the little ex wife leach of one of them. I truly hope Justice is served and those children get to live with their non psychopath grandparents, dan’s parents. Living and being raised by their father’s murderous conspirators is outrageous and my heart goes out to the boys and the brainwashing they’ve already received by that evil geeedy narcissistic family.
Well sadly their living with the psychotic grandmother in Miami and the other grandmother Dan's haven't seen them since all of this occurred. And kay was not a leech she worked for them and accidentally picked up the wrong phone line. Wrong place wrong time. But the system will never see it because Wendi's family has had one of the now retired judges on the case in the pocket paying him to keep Katherine quiet. Be It we're not gonna get in to that because that's too much of what not really being said!
Very well said @CJ in PA. 💯👌
Little miss owl Tshirt 😂

Excellent as always! I really appreciate all the hard work in researching, narrating, and uploading you do to keep your videos coming out! ✌ They've been getting better and better Hope your week will be great!! ❤
Watching this video at the end of the year...
#JusticeForDanMarkel⚖️
My wife at the time took my kids, our furniture, our kids clothes, our kids toys, the house keys and the garage door opener. She did this all while I was at work. I didn't know she had been planning this. I got home and was shocked and devastated. She put everything in a secret storage and moved my kids around so I could never find them. I called the cops but they said since we were still married it was not kidnapping and therefore could not do anything. I filed for divorce and the court issued a search for her and my kids. I was issued immediate full custody till our divorce was final. During the two years it took to get divorced, she Hotlined me to DFS for child abuse. Thankfully she did not want me dead but she was a very vindictive bitch. I later found out she had met someone else months before she took off with my kids. For years growing up my three kids had abandonment issues, anxiety and depression. Both my boys are ok now but my daughter is still on meds for it.
Good to hear they are doing good. But how are you doing? Are you OK? Things like this are traumatizing and I can imagine you have trust issues.
You call them "my kids", rather than "our", that is yours and your ex's. That's curious, as if they're your possessions or if she got nibe to do with bearing or rearing them. I also wonder how ok would be the kids whose dad goes online by nickname "crazy bear"
@@NienkeJoe I’m ok but I am forever damaged and broken with zero self confidence. I’ve not dated or even talked/flirted with a woman for 15 years.
@@spikeyapples my kids don’t like their mom and haven’t talked to her or seen her for 5 years. Their mom is remarried with a couple kids. My kids were not even invited to my exes wedding.
I hope u can find healing & peace one day soon. Life is not meant to b spent alone...
