In July 2014, Florida State University law professor Dan Markel was shot to death after pulling into his Tallahassee garage. With no idea who might have killed Professor Markel, the police immediately began two separate investigations: (1) an investigation into who the shooters were based on security camera footage, cell phone records, and Florida Sunpass toll road records; and (2) an investigation into who might have had a motive to murder Professor Markel. In a dramatic, one-hour presentation, law professor Henry Webb will describe how both of those investigations eventually led police to the same suspects: the wealthy Miami family of Dan Markel’s ex-wife, Wendi Adelson, who at that time was going through a bitter custody battle with Professor Markel. South Florida ties, hitmen, wiretaps, last-minute arrests of suspects attempting to board flights to non-extradition countries – this story has it all.
