When Jeff LaCasse stepped into the courtroom, his testimony peeled back a layer of Wendy Adelson’s world that had rarely been seen. In this segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, listeners hear how Jeff described Wendy’s constant distress, her fixation on custody battles, and her emotional volatility during the weeks before Dan Markel’s murder.
The details are unsettling: sudden trip cancellations, meltdowns triggered by legal filings, and a persistent sense of dread that seemed to hang over Wendy’s every move. Tony and his co-hosts dissect this testimony carefully, connecting Wendy’s behavior to the broader timeline of the case. Was this simply the stress of a messy divorce, or were these signs of something darker brewing in the background?
The conversation avoids sensationalism, instead focusing on what the testimony reveals about human behavior under pressure — and how the actions of one family, guided by resentment and control, created a powder keg waiting to explode. For those following the Markel case closely, this segment highlights how important small details can be in understanding the larger picture.
