The Murder Of Jared Bridegan: The Case Against Shanna Gardner

Listen & subscribe

In February 2022, Jared Bridegan was shot and killed on a dark Florida road with his two-year-old daughter in the backseat. What followed was one of the most disturbing murder-for-hire cases in recent memory — a story of a bitter custody battle, a calculated conspiracy, and an execution disguised as a random crime.

Shanna Gardner, Jared's ex-wife, now stands trial for his murder. Prosecutors say she orchestrated his killing. Her family says she's innocent.

The Murder of Jared Bridegan: The Case Against Shanna Gardner is Hidden Killers' dedicated trial coverage brought to you by host Tony Brueski.

This isn't a recap show. This is a front-row seat to one of the most closely watched criminal trials in the country, asking hard questions about how well we ever really know the people closest to us — and what some are capable of when they believe they'll never get caught.

He never got the version of Jared who coached his kids and built a genuine second life. He received a character in someone else's grievance narrative. And allegedly, over time, he made that grievance his own. P...

Jared Bridegan: The Financial Motive and Custody Hatred That Built His Murder | Pt. 1
