In this episode, we walk the razor’s edge of what the evidence actually says about Harvey Adelson—the patriarch of a family fractured by murder, scandal, and courtroom spectacle. From wiretaps and Zelle subpoenas to call-detail records and coded texts, we examine the mounting circumstantial web that places Harvey near the center of a conspiracy that has already led to multiple life sentences.
We dissect:
• Messages about a "birthday present" that prosecutors say point to premeditated planning
• Call records placing Harvey’s number in contact with key figures in the murder plot
• Wiretap approvals and jailhouse testimony naming him in alleged obstruction
• Zelle account activity and witness tampering claims
• The Vietnam jet bridge arrest with Donna—was it awareness or coincidence?
This is not a story of guilt by association. It’s a careful, fact-based analysis of what’s already in the public record—and whether it’s enough to tip the scales toward indictment. Because in the Markel murder case, silence isn’t the same as innocence. It’s just the part of the story waiting to be told.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
