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