Description
The Adelson family of Miami has become one of the most infamous names in true crime after prosecutors revealed their shocking role in the murder-for-hire plot that claimed the life of their ex son-in-law Florida State University law professor Dan Markel. In July 2014, Markel was ambushed and gunned down in the driveway of his Tallahassee home, a crime investigator says this was orchestrated by the wealthy Adelson family, who hired hitmen to follow and kill him. The motive? A bitter custody battle and family feud that escalated into cold-blooded murder. This case has gripped the nation, exposing the dark side of power, money, and control—all under the shadow of a Miami family accused of going to deadly lengths to get what they wanted. The Matriarch Donna Adelson and her son, Charlie Adelson, are now both behind bars...but the road to Justice for Dan isn't over. Who is next?
