Wendi Adelson Saw Police at Dan's House and Did Nothing

Wendi Adelson Saw Police at Dan's House and Did Nothing

Author: Real Story Media September 10, 2026 Duration: 28:32

Three weeks before the murder, Wendi Adelson called Dan Markel an "STD" and an "emotional terrorist." Five days before, her boyfriend Jeffrey Lacasse says she told him her brother Charlie had looked into every option for dealing with the "Danny problem" — including hiring a hitman for fifteen thousand dollars. Lacasse called the statement "chilling." Wendi denied saying it under oath at four separate trials.The day before the killing, she asked Lacasse about his Friday travel route past Dan's house, then emailed him not to contact her for a week. The morning of July 18, 2014, she was home waiting for a Geek Squad technician to fix a TV that prosecutors say was code for the murder plan. An hour later, she drove past police tape at Dan's house, knowing her children were there, and didn't call anyone.Two weeks after the murder, Lacasse testified that Wendi told him she and Charlie went to what Charlie described as a "celebration dinner." Wendi denied that too. Five people are in prison. Wendi Adelson has never been charged. This is the fourth installment of the Adelson series — the story of the ex-wife, the boyfriend, and the questions that remain.
