Wendi Adelson wanted the kids 400 miles away from their father, Dan Markel, before he was killed by a hitman. Shanna Gardner is accused of hiring a hitman to kill her ex-husband, Jared Bridegan, during their custody battle. #CourtTV predicts what would have happened to the children if no one was killed.

Can you please remove the distracting background music - hard to hear Vinnie!
My heart goes out to these men who loved their children. You never have to kill anyone. That’s never an option. None of these fathers were being aggressive.
That’s the irony: It’s almost like:
YOU CAN’T WIN, EITHER WAY.
At least that one dude who played football for Auburn didn’t get killed - the one where The Wifey was hooking up with the bartender in The Bahamas, and they tried to hire a Hit Man to kill The Hubby.
Charles Vallow & Ryan faught for custody to their deaths. Charles Vallow even knew Lori wanted to kill him yet he NEVER stopped being a daddy! Evil women who were not GOOD moms bc kids need both parents. Kinda like USA needs both parties to balance each other with NO 1 IS ABOVE THE LAW💜🙏💜
@@wildmercuryfilmsAfter listening to many released recorded 911 calls & police body cam footage, I’ve changed my mind about this guy being a supposed innocent good husband, father. He and his mother are both manipulative, greedy, entitled and vindictive.
To anyone who says they were murdered because of "their love for their children" needs to be examined! If you kill because you want to deny your children's father any custody, the children a life with a father, you're the f'd up one. Hope these women enjoy watching their children grow up from prison!
Horríble ,so many sadness ,trauma ,depression waiting for This children growing up...no father Mother in jail.
This is pretty standard stuff. If you've been following true crime people will kill FOR their kids.
People's kids are literally probably the number one thing that matters to them honestly...
Ask somebody what's the most important thing in their life, they'll probably say their kids.
Most people would kill to get their kids back or out of eternal custody battles...👇🏾
Not only that, these people actually believe in their mind, that their spouse is the devil. Whether they're right or wrong is irrelevant. Would you send your kid to go live with the devil just because some civil court order said you have to??
🎶 Think outside your box
@@supriseimblackthese three women are the devils!

@@samantham4351 False. But that's be more shallow and sensationalistic way to look at it..
How has Wendi Adelson skated through all this? She’s the one who started all of this. When is she going to be held accountable?🤬
If you know anything about how these prosecutions work. They get the kingpin last. Do you need to make sure that all the testimony from the lower people it's not just allegations and hearsay---» but actual convictions of her associates.
Her parents will probably be arrested before her.
I cannot wait to see her being arrested.
I agree something tells me Shannan Gardner learned from her. They are both from wealthy families even she is wealthier and she thought she could get away with it.
Exactly!! Arrest Wendi!!
Arrest Wendi and her hideous mother.
I was granted custody to move my. Kids with me from new jersey all the way to California. I had to live without them for 6 months across the country! but it was worth it. At the end of the day dad made a plan with me in mediation and agreed. I left court with my❤ kids. It felt so amazing 😍so blessed. They talk everyday. If you are human and care about the kids it can be worked out .
Vinnie, I was a dear friend of Doug’s and Ashley ABSOLUTELY murdered him. I met him during Covid and was so fond of him, I set him up on a date w my beautiful sister . We both became his friend and we did talk about Ashley- he was classy and almost never bad mouthed her , yet eluded to mental health issues! She is an absolute psychopath and we reached out to detectives to be character witnesses, if needed! He was a classy and kind man! So tragic
So sorry for your loss!
The first Dad was forced to raise money for her dance school or she would leave him? What an diabolical woman
Ashley had an invested interest in getting what she wanted. I don’t think she ever meant to stay with Dan and wanted a cash cow
My heart goes out for the families and children 😢
I made this same connection yesterday. They’re all in Florida. All defendants were previously law abiding citizens… weird.

Fla has OJ & TRUMP also.
Florida has extensive freedom of information laws and is one of the most diverse and populous states. That's why reporters cover it, not because Florida has any special "connection" to crime.

@@supriseimblack Nobody should Ever kill, for their kids, unless there is a danger to their well being.
These men were murdered by women, for the women's self centered idea?, to have full control.
P.S. 🎼🎵🎶Think inside and outside the box, Always.
@whatsgood114 read about Liri Valli DeBel...she killed her 2 kids for insurance money.
The children are the biggest victims in all of these cases. I wish them peace and healing.
Thank you for covering the Dan Markel case!! Wendi Adelson and Dan Markel agreed to raise the kids kosher. Wendi renegged, and wanted to relocate the kids to be with their grandparents several hours away in Miami. Wendi and her parents even discussed bribing Dan $1 million to let her take his children from him. Dan Markel was an excellent dad and would never allow his children to be taken from him, so they killed him. Wendi moved to Miami 2 days after he was executed in his driveway.
Very evil family. I am praying the laws catch up to them and arrest the wife , the mother. I also believe the father have to do something with it since he is the one with business and $$$ and he allowed all this happen under him.
@@Aboma2012 I agree!
Yes Angela- But she didn’t move to Miami, she moved to Coral Springs, to the family home for a year before moving to Miami.
Coral Springs to south Beach is 50 miles, about an hour away.
They are so uninformed about this case. They are saying the issue with Markel case was custody…It shows that the producers and even staff have not put the time in to watch the trials nor have been watching the channels we have!!!
Wendi Adelson got 2 million in life insurance and 4800.00 a month from her ex’s social security plus more $.
Its awful
I can't believe Wendi did not know if this hit
Honestly theyd just split the kids
Pick a home like we did with our son
And lived near each other
Meet half way.
Id prefer to be alive and compromise
Shanna’s parents, the Gardner’s, have not allowed the twins to see Jared’s widow and his family since the murder. Now the kids will be dragged through a custody battle because the grandparents refuse to let them see their half siblings, Kirsten, who is an incredible role model and the other Bridegan family members. So tragic on so many fronts.
Shanna’s parents are going to be next.
Doug was not trying to dodge questions, the lawyer was trying to do what he does best which is to try to trip him up with questions. The woman was playing games. She wanted his money and that is it. She finally found a sucker to give her more than a quarter million dollars to continue to pursue her ballet agenda.
Doug was in lust not love. Wish he had a female meet her or a good male friend who can read ppl. I always chk out my male friends women they r attracted to. Most were gold diggers.
Doug didn't realize he had a cold hearted wife. She shot him in the side or the back, seems like he was trying to run away. I really doubt her stories.
No panel of experts can help with the art of “letting go.” These women are unbelievable, so sad.
Bingo.
Parents who kill their spouse make me sick! How do they think they have any right to take the other parent from their children in such a horrible and permanent way?
How ignorant these women were. Having good fathers in their children's life was a blessing, and they took that from them.
Yes and so many other women are trying to get the father's to be a father involved in the children's lives both physically and financially. These men were doing both and it wasn't good enough for the mother. Unbelievable!
Or you have crappy fathers like mine.
THANK YOU PUTTING THIS TOGETHER!!!!
Finally!! I’ve been saying for SO LONG, these cases are so similar.
This is what pisses me off! The kids are so young and there goes their childhood! Childhood trauma! One parent is dead and the other if found guilty heads to prison. I’m almost 51yo and lemme tell you childhood trauma is life changing and life long. I feel for the kids. Rip Dads you didn’t deserve this. Ps hi Vinny from Australia 🙏🏼💖
What’s really infuriating is that Wendi Adelson got her way and is living her life with no repercussions.
Karma will get Wendi but I feel so bad for their kids.
I am still surprised that Wendi and Donna haven’t been arrested! Especially since the prosecution has even stated that Charlie, Wendi, and Donna were the masterminds behind Dan’s murder.
@@sngray11 we don’t know what’s brewing. Hopefully the state has more on them that we are unaware of and before Charlies trial there will be more arrests.
Wendi should be arrested. She must have whinged so much to get her own way. Her family should have kept out of her marriage and let her work it out for herself.
Exactly and she is practicing law 😮. And Lui Riviero clearly said that Wendi was paying for that murder and that murder was for her. So clearly and instead they arrested her brother only 😮
Thank you Vinnie for covering the different angles to these murders!! I hope all the wives go to prison for life, how dare they resort to murder! Lock them all up!!
Prison doesn’t provide lip injections, hair dye or Botox… going by LVallow… they will look incredibly different in 6 months time - their true faces of evil will be evident.
Please continue to cover The Adelson case!
Hopefully, they get their facts straight. Currently, they don’t.
That case wasn’t about custody-that was settled a year before the murder.
Yes PLEASE!!!!!
@@debbiemartin2026wendi wanted her way. Period.
@@Globelle the point is that the custody was already settled int he divorce. The murder was not about custody.
It was about her withholding assets in the divorce and her mother badmouthing her ex to the kids.
Both hearings were coming up in August, delayed from July,.
He was originally going to be murdered in June.
It didn’t happen.
Then one of the attorneys changed so it was delayed till August.
She could have lost her license. Her ex was on to her.
The words 'custody' and 'battle' should not co-exist in the same phrase. Parents who think in terms of winning and losing have lost sight of their children's best interests. Separation and divorce can be and often is brutal but never, ever a reason for children to become an asset to wrestle over or, as in these cases, potentially lead to a parent's murder.
Shanna's second husband wasn't avenging his ego, he was just following orders. Shanna is the shot caller. Unfortunately, some divorced parents resent the fact that their kids have a positive relationship with the other parent, or even the step-parent. Shanna is a perfect example of this. Shanna used money as love, but after awhile, the lure of money faded and the kids still wanted a relationship with their dad. She was so selfish, she had to eliminate the competition for her kids' love. This was always about Shanna's interest, not her kids.
Beautifully written and 100 spot on.
@@jackselle4607yep she is a spoiled wicked self entitled sad excuse for a mother.
@@jackselle4607And worse: Shanna’s parents are next.
I don’t think Dan Markel will get full justice. The brother will probably go to jail but will never give the rest of the Adelson family up. I really hope they all pay. Rip to all the victims on this video.
I mean those blonde prosecutors don't mess around..
If his girlfriend testifies, he's cooked..
Wendi has custody😢😭
I am hoping the state was saving evidence we are unaware of for the arrest of the rest.
@@spicyirwin5835makes me sick. She always has her mom watching them too. Destroying these innocent boys
@@debbiemartin2026praying. I would even be satisfied if they try her on circumstantial evidence. The case is NOT going to get better with time. I would rather see her arrested, denied bond and sit in jail and if the jury doesn't convict then her Justice will come later but PLEASE Jack Campbell TRY!!! Don't let politics and your upcoming election stop you from indicting at least Wendi and Donna.
My heart breaks for these lost fathers en their children, evilness at it's worst.!!!!!!!!!
I learned the hard way people will use the kids mercilessly and tear the hell out of them for pawns, weapons, and spies. If you're leaving your husband and he wants to take the kids, let him have them! If he wants to keep the kids from you, let him just go off and take care of yourself. Make sure the children know you love them. Don't make lawyers a bunch of money while tearing the hell out of your kids. Your husband will soon find out It's almost impossible parent alone and they will always miss you. It's much more expensive to have primary custody than pay child support.They'll always want to see their mother or father. Don't use the children to hurt or manipulate the other parent and make lawyers rich. Spend the money you would on lawyers on the children. Imagine that. My ex-husband used the children like that for years. Dragging me into court over b s. When I finally let him have the kids well, guess what? Then he called and wanted me to take them back.
Parenting is the hardest job in the world yet loving them & wanting the best for them should be easy. I sometimes feel that a parent that uses their kids r so self centered. Too bad making kids is fun & easy for unstable ppl to make. Even drug addicts😢
Look at how swiftly the two cases are moving compared to Dan Markel’s. Why oh why ⁉️
Politics in S Florida, rich people and expensive lawyers. Friends in high places…
Politics, privilege and power.
Vinny. I freaking love you since live in session. Rock on brother!
What "ifs" don't matter. Why do the hypothethicals?
Exactly. Totally pointless
Vinnie, love the shocking pink tie. 💝💖💯
Love your Barbie tie Vinnie!
awesome content you deserve more subscribers
Very good documentary, and indeed a topic of great importance, considering how many murders starts, and ends because of a custody battle, and how sick, and tired I am of seeing children being made victims of extreme abuse, because it always ends with one parent dead, and the other in jail.
I want to suggest producing such a program, where the experts take each family member under the arm, and guide them through the process. Maybe we won't have to use so many hours watching murder trials, etc.etc., and can actually sleep normal hours, because of the time difference during live trials. It's killing me! Think of the dear children!
It's never worth it to k*ll your ex over custody.
1. You're taking your child's parent away permanently and horrifically, which can cause undue trauma to your child and the whole family.
2. When you get caught, your kid will essentially be orphaned when you go to jail.
3. Kids grow up fast. You're gonna m*rder your ex for what? Less than 15/20 years of custody, then your kid is grown 🤦🏾♀️
The risks outweigh the benefits. Put your big girl/boy pants on, go to family therapy if you need to, and be civil. You're supposed to be raising a well adjusted adult - act like one!
2 parents should balance each other out. For example: i'd use a drone to follow my kids & I'd need a dad to let them fly on their own.
It’s so sad when it comes to this. I don’t think it will ever get better until we look at the family court system and make some changes. One thing these all had in common were toxic relationships and people. And as a side note, people need to be happy for each other when they move on with someone who is nice. After all, if that is your children’s step parent wouldn’t you want them to be a nice person? It’s an absolute nightmare dealing with a contentious ex spouse, but when they marry a step monster it’s even worse. Therapy is a good first step! I got divorced when my daughter was almost 10. In and out of family court 8 years 2 guardian ad litems, later I was glad my daughter was finally 18. Everyone told me just wait just wait. After she graduated high school, I get a letter in the mail from the Catholic Church. He was trying to divorce me through the Catholic Church! They handled it way better than family court and ruled in my favor, offing help or he couldn’t marry again in the Catholic Church. He was already married and wanted to remarry in the church!?! It’s never ending, so to all those out there dealing with it, document everything!! 💜 and always stay aware. It’s very dangerous for you and the children.
How come non of these lawyers could place the blame where it laid with the horrible evil women and just answer Vinnie’s question?
If those men had not been murdered, the MEN would have been awarded custody!
Not true. Vinny is unaware that custody wasn’t the issue in the Markel case. That was already settled. It was about murder AFTER the courts awarded joint custody and the family wanted him out of the picture.
@@debbiemartin2026 just have to say, Vinnie is aware of, everything.
@@AlexaCBrown the custody issue was settled in the Markel case. Did you read my comment?
@@debbiemartin2026 the courts would have never allowed her to move to Florida and take the children. If they had gone back to court, the court would have told that.
@@kikenutt Never have allowed her to move to Florida?
She lived in Florida. Are we talking about Wendi Adelson (Markel case)?
Love a good commentary by Vinnie.
👏👍
It's not about money it's about the kids..
During Shana Gardener's arrest she didn't seem surprised nor did she put up a fight that's a clear indication of guilt then there's her arraignment where the Judge called her a fugitive for picking up and moving to Washington why ? The children didn't attend the funeral services
Logical fallacy.
Unless you put up a fight--you're guilty. So many other variables could have been at play...
BRIDEGONE instead of Bridegan. Shanna should NEVER raise children!👨👩👧
@@supriseimblack it's like she was waiting for this day to come no matter what that Henry guy doesn't come in contact with Gerad Bradigan until he meats Mario and Shana hell Mario is aware of Gerad through Shana either way the man is dead and Shana is the only one who knows him personally
@@spicyirwin5835 not blaming her parents but somewhere in between the lines they have to take some accountability for Shana's behavior if nothing else they turned a blind eye to alot of her BS and buying Shana a half million dollar home across the country doesn't scream Innocents for the murder of her ex husband
Wendi sure did make sure she stays out of any blame. She threw everyone else under the bus, anyone that she could implicate. Anyone but herself, that is
Right. She used her family to accomplish her own will.
They are all sick and culpable
Thank you Vinnie as usual another great episode.
Very interesting conversation, what if no one was murdered? I believe the children could have grown up loving their dad's, even extended family members, like grandparents. When parents divorce, no X, has a right to take out the other parent. I am a divorced parent and my children are now adults. We use to have our, war of the roses moments, but we never reached boiling points of, murder. If all the dad's had lived, all the children could have experienced the love and support from their dad. Many children are abandoned by father's, but all of these men truly loved and cared for them. This is the ultimate selfish act against the children also. There will always be many, what It's, for the children to ask. There has to be hundreds of what if, I had a dad. FROM TEXAS
They were murder because they love their kids. RIP awesome dads. 😢
They murdered because they loved their kids..
It's a primal instinct
Greed makes them prefer the option of murder instead of divorce.. bottom line!! Yet the kids pay the ultimate price having to grow up with the fact their dear Dady was killed by their mother who supposedly killed to have custody of them and now is locked up behind bars for life!!
I often wonder in the Markel case (I’m very familiar with)…if there wasn’t 2 million in life insurance and 4800.00 a month from his social security…if the murder would have happened.
I think the financial gain played a role, though not totally.
So you bring up a good point of motive.
It may not actually be about custody but hatred for the ex spouse
False.
This is pretty standard stuff. If you've been following true crime people will kill FOR their kids.
People's kids are literally probably the number one thing that matters to them honestly...
Ask somebody what's the most important thing in their life, they'll probably say their kids.
Most people would kill to get their kids back or out of eternal custody battles...👇🏾
Not only that, these people actually believe in their mind, that their spouse is the devil. Whether they're right or wrong is irrelevant. Would you send your kid to go live with the devil just because some civil court order said you have to??
🎶 Think outside your box
But I know that you would want it to be something more petty because it sells more national enquirer papers..
You are right bc Vinny is uninformed about the Markel case.
Custody was settled, but the mom wanted to move 7 hours away and the court denied it.
Murder was the only option for her family.
All 3 are Florida cases. There is a statute in Florida requiring the ex-spouse/parent who wants to move more than a certain number of miles away with the children has to carry the burden of showing why it is going to benefit the parent and children to move and how a meaningful relationship among the non-moving parent and children will be maintained. It can cost tens of thousands of dollars if experts and good attorneys are involved. It's saddest for the children.
What most people will not acknowledge is that in most cases when a woman is through the relationship she wants to go forward as if she's a single woman again I've seen it many times that once a woman is separated she attempts to separate her children from their father why because she wants to start another relationship if she's not already in one she plans on being in at some point and having her kids father in the picture may turn off potential suitors ,and most men going into a new relationship do not want the wife's X husband involved in her life, most men will tell you it's uncomfortable having another man in the middle of your relationship.
Also it is my belief that she was more concerned with him supporting her dance studio more than her wanting to be back with him since he was forcing the issue and she wanted her Studio and she wanted him gone she decided murder was the only way to get both the studio and him gone
Now the kids are going to end up with no parents. 😢
Justice for all!!! Wendi and Donna Adelson need to be in prison!!!
There was no custody battle in the Dan Markel case. Custody had been established. There was a relocation petition filed by Wendi Adelson. That too had been settled. The issue at hand at the time of Dan’s death was to make sure any visitation of Donna Adelson with the Markel children be supervised. Please be accurate in your reporting.
That's rt I forgot, thx. I have a prob that Wendi manipulated her big bro & family to get her way & she skates free.
It is not good to spoil ur kids!
My understanding of it Dan Markel had a hard time letting Wendi go. He was blindsided by her wanting a divorce and he didn’t want one She just moved out taking the kids one day and he came home to an empty house. I think she took furniture and some valuables. He was hurt and angry understandably and then I would say he started playing hardball with her. This enraged the Adelsons and then Dan took on his mother in law I don’t think Wendi was unreasonable about wanting to live by her parents which wasn’t out of state, it was 400 miles away. He would have been able to see his sons often I think Dan was being obnoxious However no problem is ever solved with murder Cooler heads always prevail. Wendi was a good parent and her mother and father were good grandparents. He thought so until she left him So sad he was murdered. Domestic situations are so dangerous
I’m going through all the comments making that correction!
It’s incredible that court TV and Vinny jumped on this case bc soon it will be more well known, yet they seem to have no real education on this case like we do!
Could you imagine that we all have to come on here correcting court tv? Don’t they have people watching the trials?
@@jackiec9285 Wendi claims they were in counseling and she told him she wanted a divorce.
He may have thought she wouldn’t do it.
The surprise I am sure was to come home to divorce papers on the bed with most stuff moved out.
Dan Markel had every right to raise his kids as his ex wife did.
No father should give up his kids to a 7 hour drive to see them.
When she didn’t get her way, the hire for murder was planned.
Makes no sense, so many guys walk away from their responsibilities you would think these moms would be happy
🗣📣 WENDI JIL ADELSON WE THE PEOPLE WILL PRESS TILL YOU ARE JAILED
Ohh, my heart breaks 💔😔
The hit man for the father of the twins…his liver is failing…the mugshot shows the yellowed eyes.
These cases, lined up together are crazy and horrific.
Here's the why, because they were in the way of the wife(mother) getting full custody of the children and doing, living, and raising the kids the way that she wanted to. With the Dads alive, the women were going to have to compromise and share custody, even if she moved 400 mi. away! It's more of a hassle, juggling schedules, transportation, holidays, etc. So sad for the children for they essentially lose both parents and their lives were flipped upside down! 😢😢❤
When are angry parents going to act like adults & think about how their actions are affecting their children!!!! I feel so bad for the kids, they lose both parents in the end. 😢
GREAT PIECE. I was thinking about this last week ... Same thing
Having a brother like Charlie should be enough reason NOT to date someone, much less marry them.
YOU have to LOVE your children MORE than you hate your Ex......YOU will be caught....and then your children are without BOTH parents NO ONE WINS....
Highly recommend this for people.
Men in America need to seriously examine if marriage or long term commitment holds value... Today these relationships have no benefit for men...
😂😂😂😂
Randy Kessler has such a chill and C😎😎L voice!
What did her psychological evaluation say! That is highly likely the key to his murder! My money is on it wasn't favourable and risked her custody of their daughter!
One of the most paramount necessities: a father (and a good one).
One can be impoverished, born with illnesses/deformities, be without a mother(sadly)... but to have a "father" caring for you/guiding you in those given scenarios, is most beneficial.
For a parent to cause their child/children pain, hurt and suffering. From the loss of a parent. Always causes me to question how much they truly love and care about their child/children.
wow...this is sooo sad and unbelievable, no empathy inside, ego,ego,ego!!
I have nothing but contempt for women who think they have all the rights in custody issues. Children have the right to have both parents in their lives and women who play the victim, who claim spousal abuse, who encourage parental alienation and who falsely accuse the fathers of any number of “offences” should be gaoled and have their parental rights terminated.
Selfish women/mothers make me sick. Divorce is hard enough on children! Then these women take it to the next level and kill their fathers?!? So these innocent children will grow up without parents at all!!
To women watching this, PLEASE for the love of God, share the children you made with your partner!!! Put them first!!!

So glad I've gone through life single and childless. So much simpler.
Why haven’t Wendi and Donna been arrested yet? Especially since the prosecution has even stated that Wendi and Donna masterminded Dan’s murder along with Charlie.
Many believe Donna will be arrested prior to her sons trial in October. There may be many things going on with the state and evidence(hopefully) that will implicate Wendi enough to arrest her as well as her mother.
Witnesses, phone records, etc.
If you have watched Carl Steinbeck he believes theres enough on Wendi and he seems to be the only attorney who believes that.
The state prosecutor is a low paid employee and doesn’t get paid for overtime.
They have one chance for Wendi and Donna and they want to be certain I’m sure…
I would not want my children visiting their parents or relatives while they were in prison!!!
Murder of any parent by the other parent is abhorrent. This is shocking, as it’s not as prolific as femicide in this situation. Fact.
This is pretty standard stuff. If you've been following true crime people will kill FOR their kids.
People's kids are literally probably the number one thing that matters to them honestly...
Ask somebody what's the most important thing in their life, they'll probably say their kids.
Most people would kill to get their kids back or out of eternal custody battles...👇🏾
Not only that, these people actually believe in their mind, that their spouse is the devil. Whether they're right or wrong is irrelevant. Would you send your kid to go live with the devil just because some civil court order said you have to??
🎶 Think outside your box
Old men thinking with their wrong head. Is what it is.
These who are arguing, bullying, harassing and even murdering over custody battles are the lowest of the low. A person who doesn't think about even their own child(ren) is seriously disturbed. In these cases, there should _always_ be a _competent_ psychologist _familiar_ with such _cases_ _of_ _harassment_ , _bullying_ , _lying_ , etc., because the police, social workers, etc. do not understand or are trained in such matters, because it is often about some kind of personality disorder. In my case too, the authorities believed a _lying_ narcissist for ten years! Then a psychologist was brought in to find out, and it so happened that they had to admit that they were completely wrong. Now they have retreated into the background in shame and no longer dare to show their faces, even though they should meet us annually by law...
I am so angry, because ten years of bullying and treating child badly have taken away both my health and ruined my financial situation, and no one has to take responsibility for anything, even though serious misconducts have been made without properly investigating things and believing in other than almost mere words (in my country the civil service is almost never held accountable and this is 100% true).
I never would have believed how stupid people almost always are, and also highly educated people. And yes, I can easily generalize, because I've met dozens if not hundreds of people over the course of this decade, and only a few of them have been even somewhat rational, intelligent, capable or even mentally mature adults. I've been so amazed by everything I've seen and experienced that I've started to observe people in general and the truth is, as strange and sad as it is, very few are smart, fair and mature no matter their education, socio-economic status, etc. and whatever the subject may be. Many intellectuals who have gone down in history have said the same thing and it really is true. However, the dumbest ones are always the loudest and tell 'truths' about anything or anyone at any time. It's absolutely mind-blowing.
PS As many of you know, disturbed people often don't give up and there are still such people after me, because it's wrong to try to get live your life in peace, keep the child safe psychically/mentally/emotionally, tell the truth, to criticize something justifiably, get yourself and your child justice etc., right? However, these people don't know the truth and don't even want to know, because it's all about bullying, hating, etc. I mean talk about immaturity, stupidity, senselessness, unfairness, insanity and so on...
My heart breaks for these men and their families. May Jesus, continue to comfort u all
If Jesus was in these murderers lives, this would not have happened.
The enemy parades as a roaring lion, ready to devour.
We wrestle not against flesh and blood (people), but against principalities and power in high places..
Many have a “form” of religion…but not a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
Jesus is not obligated to comfort anyone who rejects Him.
Did all of these murders occur in Florida?
Ha,ha. I love this entertainment.
Imagine if courttv did a line up of women who were murdered during custody cases by the fathers 😳 that would be a show with many seasons over many years. So good job just going with the rare occasion when it’s the mothers who does the killing.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Like the guy in Australia who sabotaged his family, who were living with her family, and poured petrol on them and set them all alight in their car.
Idk that’s like every single show on investigation discovery channel so maybe they are looking to cover the cases that get ignored by mainstream media, just because men are the victims
That's what I'm saying!!!!

Man murder for custody just as often as woman murder for custody and property..
Women, Men... It's about time evil women are brought into the equation, and, spoken about.
I've been so tired how men always get the bad attention...
Evil is equally the same, regardless of gender.
If only parents recognized the damage they do to their children, especially young children, because of their destructive behaviors. I’m a therapist who tries to deal with the results. My heart breaks for the children.
How sad on all three men. Just shows how evil females can be. I mean women talk about how bad men are yet look three men murdered because 50% chance women wouldn't get what they wanted and bet u more could be found if dug up
Why is only the profession of the professor mentioned and the other two gentlemen only their names stated?
Hi could someone send a link to a better introduction than "Court TV's ?" I like court tvs introduction's. Great job.
How tf after so many years Wendi Adelson still out there and haven't received a single penalty? ffs... I've been praying for that devil to get what she deserves and the "justice" system still giving her a pass when she clearly planned all of it. I heard of this during the pandemy through A&E... Still cant believe this "Woman" still outside enjoying her life.
Sure... Throw in jail the perpetrator but not the mastermind of all of it.
Manipulator QUEEN: Wendi
I dont think wendi knew what was going to happen, those 2 killers lied about seeing her. They had no need to see her. Wendi"s family were full of hate more then wendy, and they pushed it. She didnt know he was going to be killed. Coincidences with the day wendi's X was killed. Cant trust wendi X he talks to much abd exaggerated especially since they separated.
She used WhatsApp to communicate with her brother and mother, unlike they who spoke on their cell phones and were caught by wiretapping…She was the smart one.
I'm glad we are bringing more light to the fact that women can be just as horrible as men and should be held to the same standards. Seems like women get lighter sentences.
These cases always bother me. Especially the ones where the other parent goes "missing" before they can prove murder, and in the meantime the murderer parent gets to keep those kids for a long time.
Oh they had to be murdered, because those women hated them, we aren't on rational terms here.
The book mentioned "I Hate You, Don't Leave Me" is a book exploring and explaining Borderline Personality Disorder. To be clear, having BPD does NOT mean the person is violent or a killer.
The motive for Wendi was not just moving to Florida. At the end Dan markel was suing her for misappropriating \ stealing funds and kidnapping the kids charges and she was running the risk of losing her lawyer license. I think that pulled the trigger for Wendi and her family at the end. Wendi couldn’t cope losing her license on top of everything and she decided that Dan had to go.
Wow 😢 such sad cases...
Just a hunch;
The twins were getting old enough to start saying things like, “I want to just live with Dad” or “I want to just live with Mom.”
If those children said that to their mom, it would send her into a tailspin. She could NOT lose her children to her ex. Those children are prizes and she didn’t want to share or lose them.
Custody battles don't usually involve someone being murdered, do they?
I hope all three women end up in jail. One of them is in prison, but the other 2 are not.
All of this was just so unnecessary.‼️
Why sink to these Heart💔Breaking levels.
These women are all freaking witches/ gold diggers, etc.What is wrong in this world. I feel so sorry for the families and children of these three men 😢
Wendi Adelson NEEDS TO BE ARRESTED!!! DONNA TOO
My heart BREAKS. My ex husband tried to beat me to death on more than one occasion. Those women are just as disgusting! Poor babies 😢
My love for my children, including my step kids is and always will be more than my hate for anyone else!
I am very sorry to hear about your suffering. I hope you have no residual problems from that and are well.
I am surprised at the amount of hatred Wendi Adelson is receiving from lots of people.She did not plan anything.She was a victim of emotional and verbal abuse plus defamation by her ex_ husband Dan Markel.She also went through a troublesome divorce.Of course her parents and brother would be concerned about her emotional well_being.This is a case of a brother going to extreme measures to protect his sister.
