In this segment, Hidden Killers Live rewinds to one of the earliest and most telling moments in the Dan Markel murder case: Wendi Adelson’s very first police interview. The father of her children had just been gunned down, and police needed answers. What they got instead was a jumble of contradictions, tangents, and nervous oversharing.
Tony, Stacy, and Todd watch closely as Wendi reacts to the devastating news. At first she insists everyone loved Dan, then pivots to pointing out his new girlfriend, oddly focusing on her looks. She waffles between denial and suspicion, almost as if she’s scattering possibilities into the air to see what sticks. Her words don’t land like those of a grieving ex-wife — they land like someone on edge, already trying to cover ground before accusations even surface.
The hosts point out how immature some of Wendi’s comments sound, especially for a law professor. From obsessing about appearances to nervously asking if she might be a suspect, Wendi’s behavior raises questions that echo years later in court. Is this simply shock, or was she too close to the truth for comfort?
This early interrogation clip lays the groundwork for everything that followed in the Adelson case, and the commentary digs deep into the psychology behind her answers. Was Wendi just overwhelmed by tragedy, or were these the first cracks in a carefully constructed facade?
👉 Dive into this segment for one of the most revealing early looks at Wendi Adelson’s mindset. And hit subscribe to stay on top of every twist in this ongoing case.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
