Donna Adelson Trial, How Deep Does The Evil Go In The Adelson Family?

FBI Unscripted | Real Agents On Real Crime

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke discusses the case of Donna Adelson and the murder-for-hire plot against her former son-in-law, Dan Markel. Dreeke reflects on how the evidence, including checks signed by Donna, implicates her involvement in the plot, allegedly orchestrated to keep Dan from hindering the Adelson family’s desire to have Wendy and the children move closer. Dreeke comments on the stupidity of those involved, such as making payments for the murder as if on a layaway plan, and how the family dynamic allowed them to fall into groupthink, creating a false sense of security. He touches on Donna's arrest while attempting to flee to Vietnam and speculates about the involvement of other family members, including Wendy and Harvey Adelson, who remain uncharged but may face scrutiny as the investigation continues. The conversation highlights the value of patience in investigative processes and the importance of peeling back layers to expose the full depth of involvement. Dreeke also compares this case to others involving family conspiracies, like the Chad and Lori Daybell case, emphasizing that more information may come to light as the investigation progresses.
