With Donna Adelson convicted and Wendy under growing scrutiny, one question remains: what about Harvey Adelson? The patriarch of the family sat silently through his wife’s trial, his face betraying little. But how much did he know about the plot to murder Dan Markel? And how much responsibility does he bear for the fallout now consuming his family?
In this segment of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, Bob Motta joins to explore Harvey’s role and the broader implications for the Adelson family. Was he a passive bystander, or did he knowingly enable the conspiracy? Did he simply turn a blind eye to his wife and children’s actions, or was he part of the planning from the beginning?
The conversation also examines the devastating impact on the Markel family, who continue to fight for access to Dan’s children, as well as the systemic issues exposed by the case. The Adelson saga is not just about on e murder — it’s about power, control, and the lengths some families will go to in order to maintain both.
