Description: Two members of the wealthy Adelson family are now behind bars for the cold-blooded murder of Florida State law professor Dan Markel — but two others are still free. Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #truecrime. In this STS episode, Emmy Award-winning journalist Joel Waldman is joined by #BestGuests as they break down the case, the shocking family dynamics, and the growing speculation about who truly orchestrated the murder-for-hire plot that ended Dan Markel’s life. Dan Markel was gunned down in his own garage seconds after pulling into his driveway in Tallahassee in 2014 — a crime that stunned the academic world and sparked a decade-long fight for justice. Now, with Donna and Charlie Adelson serving life sentences, the question remains: Will there be more arrests? And who is the real mastermind behind this dark and senseless murder? Join us as we uncover the evidence, the motives, and the pursuit of #JusticeForDanMarkel.Support the show & be a part of #STSNation:Donate to STS' Trial Travel: Https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GJ...VENMO: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcastCheck out STS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorEmail: SurvivingTheSurvivor@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
