Speaker 1 (00:00):
Delray Beach, Florida, March twenty twenty two, Just blocks from
the ocean, where spring breakers were sipping cocktails and snapping selfies,
something horrifying. What's happening behind the gates of a quiet,
upscale neighborhood. Palm trees swayed outside Holmesworth Millions, but inside
one stucco villa, the bloody body of a beloved wife

(00:20):
was discovered. It was a scene so gruesome that even
veteran detectives needed a moment to vomit the shock out.
This is the story of Hannah Mendelssohn, her life, her dreams,
and the brutal betrayal that ended at all. Hannah Mendelssohn
was thirty seven years old and lived in Delray Beach, Florida.
She was well known in the local community for her kindness,

(00:41):
her hard work, and her love for children with special needs.
Hannah was the founder and director of Wings for Willow,
a nonprofit group that helped children with physical disabilities. The
group was named after her daughter, Willow, who had died
at just five years old from a rare illness. Hannah
started the organization as a way to honor Willow's memory
and help other families going through similar struggles. Hannah was

(01:03):
originally from Fort Lauderdale and studied education at the University
of Miami. After college, she worked as a teacher for
several years before turning her full attention to charity work.
She was smart, well organized, and very friendly. She loved
wearing bright Maxi dresses, making her own lavender soap, and
baking gluten free cupcakes for her staff and friends. She

(01:24):
was often seen at local coffee shops like Subculture and
Third Place, usually with a tablet full of schedules and
a smile on her face. Her Instagram account had over
fourteen thousand followers and showed pictures of charity walks, sunny
mornings at the beach, and homemade crafts. Hannah lived with
her husband, Elliot Mendelssohn, a forty five year old real

(01:44):
estate broker. They had been merry for four years and
shared a large home on Ocean Crest Drive, just blocks
from the water. The house had white shutters, a backyard pool,
and was part of a quiet gated community. Neighbors said
they often saw Hannah watering her garden or waving hello
during morning walks. In the days before her death, Hannah

(02:04):
was busy planning wings for Willow's biggest event of the year,
a spring gala meant to raise money for new therapy equipment.
She had spent weeks getting everything ready. She had just
finished recording a short video to post on Instagram about
a new partnership with the Delray Beach Children's Hospital. She
was also putting together care boxes with art supplies and
snacks to send to local families in need. The night

(02:26):
before she died, Hannah had baked a batch of cupcakes
with blue and purple icing, the colors of Willow's favorite
stuffed animal. She texted photos to her sister and posted
a short video on her story. She was excited about
the gala, hopeful about the nonprofits growth, and thinking about
starting a podcast for parents raising kids with disabilities. She

(02:47):
had no idea what was coming the next morning she
was found dead in her home. It was the morning
of Monday, March fourteenth, twenty twenty two. The sun had
just risen over Delray Beach, casting a warm glow over
the quiet streets near Ocean Crest Drive. Spring Break tourists
were beginning to fill the cafes and boardwalk just a
few blocks away. But inside a gated community, tucked behind

(03:10):
hedges and fountains, something terrible had happened. At about eight
forty a m. Twenty four year old Mia Collins arrived
at the Mendelsohn home. Mia had recently moved to Florida
from Long Island and had only been working as Hannah
Mendelssohn's assistant for a few weeks. That morning, Hannah was
supposed to lead an important board meeting for Wings for
Willow at the Delray Beach Community Center. When she didn't

(03:32):
respond to texts or calls, Mia decided to check in.
Mia had been given a spare house key by Hannah
a week earlier in case of emergencies. She parked her
Honda Civic in the driveway, noticing that Hannah's Lexus was
still in the garage. The house was unusually quiet. The
front door opened easily, and the familiar smell of homemade
lavender soap filled the entryway. But there was another scent,

(03:56):
something metallic, like old coins or blood, that made MEA's
stomach churm. She walked through the open kitchen, passed a
tray of untouched cupcakes and a vase of fresh flowers,
calling out Hannah's name. There was no answer. As she
climbed the stairs to the second floor, the feeling of
dread grew stronger. The hallway was dim, the master bedroom

(04:16):
door was half open. Inside, everything looked normal at first.
Pillows fluffed a candle burning softly on the vanity, but
when Nya stepped into the bathroom, she froze. The bathtub
was filled with red tinted water. Hannah was lying inside,
her body twisted and lifeless, with deep gashes across her
chest and arms. Her head was resting against the tub edge.

(04:38):
Her left hand was missing. Maya let out a scream
and stumbled backward. She ran out of the house and
collapsed on the front lawn, shaking and crying. Several neighbors
later reported hearing her screams. Mia called nine one one,
but she was vomiting so badly the dispatcher had to
ask her several times to speak clearly. Paramedics and police

(04:59):
arrived with within minutes and quickly secured the area. What
they found inside the Mendelssohn home would go on to
shock not just Delray Beach, but the entire state of Florida.
The Delray Beach Police Department arrived at the Mendelssohn home
just seven minutes after Mia Collins called nine to one one.
On the morning of March fourteen, twenty twenty two, two
patrol units, an ambulance, and a crime scene van pulled

(05:22):
into the quiet cul de Sac on Ocean Crest Drive.
Neighbors were still standing on their driveways, confused by the
flashing lights and sirens echoing through their gated community. Lead
Detective Rawl Villanueva, a fifty two year old investigator with
over two decades of experience, was one of the first
to enter the house. Known for staying calm in even
the most difficult cases, Bill and Nueva had worked everything

(05:45):
from drug stings to cold cases across Palm Beach County.
Alongside him was forensic expert Dana Kang, thirty eight, who
specialized in violent crime scenes. She had previously consulted with
Miami Dade investigators and was highly trained in bloodspeed at
her analysis, and trace evidence collection. From the moment they
stepped inside the Mendelssohn home, the investigators knew they were

(06:06):
dealing with something far more brutal than usual. The air
smelled of blood and lavender. The house was neat and organized,
with no signs of forced entry, but the upstairs bathroom
told the different story. Inside the master bathroom, Hannah Mendelssohn's
body was found in the tub. The water had turned
dark red. She had been brutally hacked to death. Later

(06:27):
forensic work would confirm more than forty deep wounds across
her chest, arms, neck, and back. Five separate meat cleavers
had been used in the attack. Each cleaver had a
different blade type, some rusted, others polished, which meant they
had likely come from different places. Forensics experts believed they
had been used in alternating order during the killing, suggesting

(06:48):
the murderer was either acting out of extreme emotional rage
or was trying to confuse investigators on purpose. The most
disturbing part was that Hannah's left hand had been cut
off and placed carefully on a mirrored vanity tray next
to its candle, which was still burning. Police immediately sealed
off the house and began collecting evidence. Dana Kang and
her teen used luminal to reveal hidden blood splatters on

(07:10):
the walls and floor. Swaths were taken from the vanity
tup handles, and light switches. They found no signs of
forced entry, which meant the killer may have had a
key or had been let in. Investigators went door to
door asking for surveillance footage from nearby ring door bells
and home security systems. They also took Hannah's phone and
laptop into evidence, hoping text messages or emails might reveal

(07:33):
her final conversations. A nearby Wholefoods meat department was contacted
when one cleaver was traced back to a purchase made
with a stolen card months earlier. The scene was shocking
even to longtime police. They had rarely seen a crime
this violent in such a quiet, wealthy part of town.
The first person Delray Beach police turned their attention to
was Elliot Mendelssohn, the husband of the victim. Elliott was

(07:56):
forty five years old and had been married to Hannah
for four years. He worked as a real estate broker
who specialized in selling high end waterfront properties to wealthy
clients in South Florida. His listings often included homes in
Boca Ratan, Jupiter, and exclusive areas of Delray Beach. He
drove a black Range Rover, wore expensive suits, and was
often seen at local cigar lounges and members only clubs

(08:19):
like the Seagate Beach Club. Elliott originally came from Albany,
New York, and was the son of a well known
politician who had once served in the state legislature. Elliott
moved to Florida in his early thirties, where he built
the successful business helping crypto investors, wealthy retirees, and international
buyers purchased properties along the coast. He had a friendly,

(08:40):
polished image in public, often smiling at community events or
networking parties, but investigators soon uncovered another side of him.
During the investigation, police learned that Elliott had been living
a double life. Though married to Hannah and publicly presenting
himself as a straight, successful husband, he had secretly been
using gay dating apps for years. He used the name

(09:01):
Handy Screw Miracle Worker on several hookup platforms, including Grinder
and Scruff. Records showed that he had arranged sexual meetups
with over one hundred different men across South Florida during
his marriage. Some of the meet ups were scheduled during
open house appointments, meaning he used his job as a
cover for his affairs. After Hannah's body was found detectives

(09:22):
began reviewing her phone and emails. They discovered that Hannah
had recently learned about Elliott's secret life. It appeared she
had confronted him just days before her murder. Her last
save search on her laptop was for married man cheating
on gay dating apps. She had also saved screenshots of
his dating profiles and a private folder labeled proof. Detectives

(09:43):
brought Elliott in for questioning the same day Hannah's body
was found. The interview took place at the Delray Beach
Police Department around two o'clock PM. Elliott appeared calm at
first and maintained that he had been showing a property
in Boyton Beach at the time of the murder. He
claimed he had nothing to do with the crime and
was hard broken over Hannah's death. However, when detectives began
asking about his dating app history and private messages, Eliot's

(10:06):
mood changed. His voice grew tense, and he began giving
shorter answers. He became visibly uncomfortable when investigators showed him
photos from his Grinder account. He denied knowing anything about
the bloodstained envelope sent to him by doctor Mica Donnelly,
which police had found unopened in his office drawer. Throughout
the interview, Eliot never asked how his wife had died.

(10:28):
Police did not arrest Elliott at the time, but they
listed him as a person of interest while they continued
gathering evidence. The second suspect in the investigation was doctor
Mica Donnelly, a thirty nine year old cosmetic dentist from Bogorat.
On paper, Micah looked like the perfect family man. He
was married to a woman named Claire and had three
young children who went to a private school in West

(10:50):
Palm Beach. He drove a white Tessel Model AX, sponsored
his son's Little League team, and regularly posted photos on
social media beach picnics and school science. His dental office
on Palmetto Park Road had high end clients and offered
services like veneers, widening and botox treatments. But police soon
discovered that Micah's life was not as perfect as it seemed.

(11:12):
Through Hannah Mendelssohn's phone and Elliott's private messages, investigators learned
that Micah was Elliot Mendelsson's most recent lover, and that
the relationship had become intense and unstable. In the months
leading up to the murder. Unlike Elliott, who had multiple
casual hookups, Micah had grown deeply attached. He sent frequent texts,
many of which became more emotional and disturbing over time.

(11:35):
Detectives recovered messages Micah sent to Eliot that included threats
in unsettling language. One of the most concerning texts read,
if I can't bleeping have you, I'll bleeping bleep everything
that keeps you from the force of my love. The
cursing had to be censored in police records due to
its aggressive tone. Another message showed a photograph of what
appeared to be Hannah's hair, tied with ribbon and placed

(11:58):
on a piece of velvet cloth. Elliott later told police
he had received a blood stained envelope with a locket
of Hannah's hair inside, but claimed he never opened it.
On March fifteenth, one day after Hannah's body was found,
police brought Micah in for questioning. He was cooperative but quiet.
He wore a pressed blue dress shirt and cacus and
arrived at the station alone. During the interview, Micah spoke

(12:21):
in a low, flat voice. He denied being involved in
Hannah's death. But gave vague answers when asked about the
blood stained envelope. Detectives noted that he never asked what
had happened to Hannah or expressed any sadness over her murder.
When detectives searched Micah's dental office with a warrant, they
found the locket of hair in the top drawer of
his desk. It was confirmed by forensics to be Hannah's.

(12:44):
A small note attached to it read she doesn't deserve you.
The handwriting matched other notes Micah had written. Also found
in the office was a Google Maps print out of
the Mendelsohn home and a schedule of Elliott's open house listings.
Despite the disturbing evidence, Micah continued to deny involve He
said the hair had been mailed to him anonymously and
that he had kept it out of confusion and fear.

(13:06):
His body language remained stiff and cold throughout the entire interview.
Officers reported that he never blinked more than once every
ten seconds. At this point in the investigation, Micah was
considered a serious person of interest. On the stormy evening
of March eighteen, twenty twenty two, South Florida, was hit
by heavy rain and warm, sticky air. Around seven thirty

(13:28):
p m. A cashier at a Public's grocery store near
Bocratan heard faint crying sounds coming from behind the building.
When they checked the dumpster area, they found a newborn
baby wrapped in a damp towel placed inside a cardboard
box next to bags of trash. Shocked and chicken, the
employee quickly called nine to one one. Paramedics rushed the
baby to Westbooka Medical Center, where doctors said the infant

(13:52):
was cold and dehydrated, but alive. Police were stunned when
DNA results showed the baby was the biological child of
Hannam Mendelssohn, the thirty seven year old woman found brutally
murdered just days earlier inside her luxury home in Delray.
Investigators had not known Hannah was pregnant. Even those closest
to her, including family members, said she never appeared to

(14:14):
be expecting a child. According to police reports, Hannah had
maintained her usual pilates workouts, work shifts at Orangia Theory Fitness,
and even posed for a birthday Instagram photo in early
March that showed no baby bump. Detectives now believed that
Hannah's labor had been hidden, possibly forced, before she was murdered.

(14:34):
A medical examiner's review of the crime scene and Hannah's
body revealed signs of very recent childbirth. Based on the
baby's estimated age and condition, doctors said the child had
likely been born just hours before the murder. Authorities began
piecing together a new timeline that suggested Hannah gave birth
sometime late on March seventeen or very early on March eighteen.

(14:56):
The baby was then transported and dumped behind the public
sometimes before five am, when store employees began arriving from
morning shifts. This shocking twist caused a major shift in
how investigators were looking at the case. Now, the motive
may have been more than just anger, jealousy, or betrayal.
It could have been about the baby. Someone may have
wanted to hide the berth, or they may have feared

(15:17):
the truth about the baby's father coming to light. The
focus of the case moved from just the crime scene
inside the home to the mystery of the baby's berth
and who might have helped deliver the child before committing
or covering up a murder. The publics where the infant
was found sits just three miles from the Mendelsohn home,
along a busy stretch of Glades Road lined with Duncan Panora,

(15:38):
bread and a total wine and more. Security footage from
nearby businesses was collected and forensic teams calmed the dumpsters
for fingerprints, tire marks, and any DNA. Police also can
vast local hospitals and clinics to see if anyone had
treated Hannah in secret during her pregnancy, but no medical
records were found. Investigators now had a new an urgent question,

(16:01):
who knew Hannah was pregnant and who had the most
toluse if that secret came out. By late March twenty
twenty two, investigators turned their focus to twenty seven year
old Britain Shay. She worked as a junior coordinator at
Wings for Willow, a Florida nonprofit that supported children with disabilities.
Written had only recently moved to the book a Raden

(16:21):
area from Playfield, New Jersey, and was still trying to
build the name for herself outside of her day job.
Written was becoming well known online, especially on TikTok, where
she posted inspirational videos featuring the kids she worked with.
Her page, full of pastal colors and background music, like
Billie Eilish and Febridger's, painted a picture of a young
woman doing meaningful work. But the truth was more complicated.

(16:45):
Written's social media videos often featured dissibled children without their
parents' knowledge or permission. She shared personal details about their lives,
sometimes even medical information. Her vlogs were heavily edited, often
showing her crying or praying next to the children, she
held coffee from Starbucks or drove a pink Tesla. In reality,
many co workers said she didn't spend much time with

(17:06):
the children at all. Her carefully curated mental health warrior
image was masking a pattern of behavior that many at
Wings for Willow found inappropriate. One of those people was
Hannah Mendelssohn, as the assistant director of Wings for Willow.
Hannah had recently confronted Britain about her videos. She told
her to stop posting the children on social media and
filed a formal HR complaint in early March. The complaint

(17:29):
included screenshots, emails, and internal staff reports written according to coworkers,
did not take it well. Several said she cried during
meetings and told others, Hannah doesn't get what a bleeping need.
She's an abuser standing in the way of my mental health.
A few days after the complaint was filed, Britain allegedly
sent a voice memo to a coworker saying that Hannah
was standing in the way of her mental health recovery

(17:51):
and that she didn't get what I needed. Brittain's behavior
grew more unstable after Hannah's death. When police questioned her,
she arrived wearing false life and full glam makeup, but
soon broke down crying. Officers noted she was extremely emotional,
sobbing through much of the interview. She admitted she had
strong feelings toward Hannah, but denied any part in her murder.

(18:13):
She said she had been home all night editing the
new TikTok video and watching reruns of This Is Us
on Hulu. Her alibi was confirmed by time stamped activity
on her iPhone and a neighbor who saw her lights
on late into the night. Police couldn't find any direct
evidence linking her to Hannah's death, but her statements, emotional outbursts,
and unstable behavior left detectives uneasy. They kept her on

(18:36):
the list of persons of interest. As more information came in,
police began to piece together how personal tensions at Wings
for Will may have contributed to a broader motive. Hannah
wasn't just a leader at the nonprofit. She was someone
who held others accountable, something not everyone appreciated. On March
twenty two, twenty twenty two, just four days after the

(18:57):
discovery of the newborn behind the public's dumpster, police arrested
thirty five year old doctor Micah Donnelly. Micah was a
respected dentist who ran a busy clinic near coral Ridgemoll.
On the outside, he seemed like a calm and professional doctor,
but underneath, investigators say he had a dark secret and
a dangerous obsession. The break in the case came from

(19:18):
fibers found at the Mendelssohn home. Forensics teams had collected
several types of fiber from the bathroom rugged near where
Hannah was found. After running tests, they matched those fibers
to a set of light blue scrubs worn by Micah
on the day of the murder. Investigators then checked traffic
in GPS data and found that Micah's car had passed
through the Mendelssohn's neighborhood around three fifteen p m. On

(19:41):
the afternoon of March sixteen, right around the time Hannah
was believed to have been killed. Micah had claimed he
hadn't seen Elviot or Hannah in weeks, but police were
suspicious from the start, especially since Micah had been secretly
dating Elliott Mendelssohn for nearly a year. Their relationship was
intense but secretive. They met via gay adult app and

(20:01):
kept their affair hidden from almost everyone. Elliott was still
living as a straight husband and father. Sources say Elliott
had tried to end the relationship in early March, but
Micah didn't take it well. Detectives now believe that Micah
was growing desperate. They say he blamed Hannah for keeping
Elliott in the closet and believed that as long as
she was alive, Eliot would never be fully his. In

(20:24):
a fit of jealousy and rage, Micah planned the murder carefully.
Over a period of six months. He stole five cleavers,
one at a time, from different cooking stores across South Florida,
including Sir La Table in Boca Ratan and a local
William Sonoma in Aventramal on the day of the murder,
while Elliott was away at a fake house showing Micah

(20:44):
entered the Mendelssohn home through the unlocked back patio. He
brought the stolen cleavers with him in a duffel bag
and attacked Hannah in the master bathroom. The crime scene
was horrifying. Investigators believe Micah left one of Hannah's severed
hands on the vanity as a message to Elliott, a
twisted act meant to show his devotion. Micah was arrested
without incident in the parking lout As Dental clinic. He

(21:07):
was still wearing his work scrubs. Inside his car, police
found blood stained gloves, one of the missing cleavers, and
a handwritten note addressed at Elliott. Though Micah didn't fight
the arrest, investigators say he made a strange comment suggesting
he believed he was proving his love. Hannah's family, devastated
and in shock, called the act monstrous and heart breaking.
Friend said she was the glue of her family and

(21:28):
didn't deserve to be caught in the middle of someone
else's secret life. In May of twenty twenty four, the
murder trial of doctor Micah Donnelly took place at the
Broward County court House in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The case
had made national headlines, especially after People magazine ran a
cover story and dateline NBC featured the shocking events. With

(21:48):
the courtroom packed each day, the public and press watched
closely as both sides presented their arguments. Prosecutor Carla Epstein
fifty one, was a well known figure in Florida's legal system.
She had built a reputation for being tough and prepared,
especially in high profile murder cases. Epstein told the jury
that Micah had acted out of obsession, jealousy, and rage.

(22:11):
She used photos from the crime scene, including the blood
soaked bathroom, and played audio recordings Micah had sent to
Elliot just weeks before the murder. In one of them,
Mica sounded angry and desperate. He had reportedly blamed Hannah
for keeping Elliot away from him. On the other side,
Micah's defense attorney, Howard Trent forty eight, tried to paint
a different picture. Trent claimed that Micah had suffered a

(22:33):
mental breakdown. He said that Micah wasn't thinking clearly, pointing
to his lack of a criminal record and past achievements
in dentistry. The defense argued that years of hiding his
sexuality and struggling with depression caused him to snap. They
also brought in a psychiatrist who said Micah had been
suffering from untreated by polar disorder an obsessive love disorder.

(22:54):
The trial lasted three weeks. It included emotional testimony from
Hannah's parents and her sister, who described Hannah as a
loving wife and friend. Elliot Mendelssohn, still recovering emotionally, was
seen wiping away tears as he listened to the details
of the crime. Courtroom footage was even briefly shown on
CNN and shared widely on TikTok and Instagram with hashtags

(23:15):
like hashtag justice for Hannah. On May twenty first, twenty
twenty four, the jury returned their verdict guilty on all counts,
including first degree murder, armed birdlary, and desecration of a
human body. Judge Alyssa Avarro sentenced Mica Donnelly to life
in prison without the possibility of parole. The sentencing caused

(23:35):
mixed reactions. Some in the public believe that Micah should
have received the death penalty, especially given the brutal nature
of the crime. But Hannah's family, who had attended every
day of the trial, expressed relief. They said the life
sentence ensured Micah would never be free to hurt anyone again.
As Micah was let out of the courtroom in Jackles,
he reportedly showed no emotion. Hannah's murder had started as

(23:57):
a twisted secret, but it ended with a very public
and final punishment. After the trial ended in April twenty
twenty three, Elliot Mendelssohn disappeared from the public eye. He
sold the Delray Beach home in May and moved to
a small bungalow in Key West, Florida. The bright Blue
house sits near Duval Street, not far from Mallory Square,
where tourists often watch sunsets. Neighbors say Elliot mostly keeps

(24:21):
to himself and rarely goes out. His Instagram and Facebook
pages have been inactive since the verdict, and his former
real estate firm quietly removed him from their website. The
nonprofit Hannah started, Wings for Willow, did not shut down. Instead,
it was taken over by her older sister, Sharon Carp.
Sharon who lives in West Palm Beach, was already involved

(24:42):
with the group part time. Since May twenty twenty four,
she's led new programs focused on domestic violence awareness and
online safety. The group recently held a fundraiser at the
book Raiden Marriott, with support from local businesses like Public's,
Chick fil A and w PBF twenty five news. They
raised nearly forty thousand dollars in one night. Mia Collins,

(25:03):
Hannah's former assistant, also found a new path after testifying
in court. She began a peer led support group for
families affected by sudden or violent loss. The group meets
every Tuesday at a local church in Boyton Beach. Mia
has become a local speaker on grief and healing and
was recently interviewed on w p TV Channel five. Not

(25:24):
everyone involved in the case found piece. Britain Shay, the
social media manager who briefly went viral for her TikTok
breakdown after Hannah's death, was let go from Wings for
Will shortly after the arrest. She deleted her TikTok and
Instagram accounts and has not appeared publicly since early twenty
twenty three. Detective Georgia Villanueva, who led the investigation, quietly

(25:46):
retired at the end of twenty twenty three after twenty
six years with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. He
told colleagues he was burned out from the emotional toll
of the case. He now lives part time in Naples, Florida,
and volunteers with a K nine rescue center. The new
born girl who was found in the dumpster behind the
Public's grocery store in March twenty twenty two, was later
named Hope by the social workers who cared for her.

(26:09):
She spent over a year in foster care before being
adopted by a couple from Wellington in early twenty twenty four.
Reports say she's healthy, happy, and now taking her first steps.
This tragic story has left a deep mark on South Florida,
but from the darkness, new efforts for healing and awareness
have begun. In a sun drenched paradise where secrets are

(26:29):
often buried beneath manicured lawns and pastal exteriors, the murder
of Hannah Mendelssohn revealed the darkness behind a picture perfect life. Betrayal, obsession,
and rage converged in a single night, leaving behind a
shattered family, a community in mourning, and a baby girl
born into chaos but raised in love.
