Dan Markel won a custody fight. A judge told his ex-wife she couldn't move the kids. Her mother offered him a million dollars. He refused. Prosecutors say the Adelson family's response was a murder-for-hire — two hitmen from Miami, paid through the family dental office, with the grandmother signing every check.This episode tells the complete Adelson conspiracy in one sitting. The investigation that traced a rented Prius through toll records to two childhood friends from Miami. The woman who connected the hitmen to Charlie Adelson through the bedroom and the bank account. The FBI trap that caught Charlie on tape discussing the plot at a Miami Beach restaurant. Charlie's extortion defense — a layaway plan that lasted three hours with the jury. Donna's arrest on the jet bridge at Miami International Airport with a one-way ticket to Vietnam. The handwritten script she wrote in jail to buy false testimony. The parking ticket line at sentencing.And the question the whole case comes back to: Jeffrey Lacasse testified that five days before the murder, Wendi Adelson told him her brother had looked into hiring a hitman. Wendi denied it under oath at four trials. Five people are in prison. The ex-wife who benefited most from Dan's death has never been charged. The investigation is technically open.
