What Happened After Dan Markel Refused Donna Adelson's Offer

True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews | 04 sep 2026 | 00:17:21

Dan Markel's mother-in-law Donna Adelson allegedly offered him a million dollars to let her daughter and grandchildren relocate to South Florida. He refused. A judge had already denied the move. Prosecutors say the family that couldn't accept "no" from a courtroom or a checkbook turned to two hitmen from Miami instead.Markel was an FSU law professor, 41 years old, shot twice in the head in his Tallahassee garage on July 18, 2014 — the same morning his ex-wife had a Geek Squad technician at her house repairing the TV her brother gave her because it was "cheaper than hiring a hitman." The killers were traced through a toll transponder on a rental car in a city without toll roads. The money trail led to the Adelson dental practice near Fort Lauderdale — 44 checks signed by Donna to a woman who never worked there, $138,000 in documented payments.The FBI caught Charlie Adelson on tape at a Miami Beach restaurant in 2016 discussing the entire arrangement. When investigators bumped Donna with the killers' names, she called Charlie — three times. Five people are now serving prison sentences for the conspiracy. This is the first of a four-part series covering the entire case.
