About this episode

Becky and Bevy explore the complex case of Dan Markel, whose life took a tragic turn amidst a contentious divorce.

This week on LOTW, Becky and Bevy dive into the case of Dan Markel. Dan Markel never expected his life to split in two. On the surface, everything looked steady — a growing career, two young boys he adored, and a marriage he believed was solid. So when he was blindsided by a divorce filing, it shook him. The separation quickly turned tense, especially when Wendi Adelson pushed to move the children away and Dan fought to stay an involved father. But beneath the legal filings and family tension, something else was taking shape — quiet decisions, shifting loyalties, and moments that would matter far more than anyone realized. And on a quiet July morning, everything came to a sudden stop in Dan’s garage.
