About this episode

Lily Fletcher discusses the murder-for-hire case of Dan Markel and its connections to the Adelson family.

Lily Fletcher, producer of Hulu’s Welcome to the Family: The Murder of Dan Markel , joins Kate to discuss the shocking murder-for-hire case at the center of the four-part docuseries. Florida State University law professor Dan Markel was murdered in 2014 amid a bitter custody battle with his former wife, Wendi Adelson. Prosecutors ultimately connected the killing to members of the wealthy Adelson family and a chain involving an intermediary and two hired gunmen. Ryan and Katie Fears also share their firsthand memories of Wendi’s brother Charlie Adelson years before he was convicted of arranging Dan’s murder.           Reality Life with Kate Casey  Summer Reading List: https://katecasey.substack.com/p/books-i-cant-stop-talking-about-this   Vanity Fair Article: https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/story/martha-moxleys-diary   What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com   Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey   Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca   Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245   Amazon List…
