How Do You Parent After Murder? Wendy Adelson’s Children in Crisis
How Do You Parent After Murder? Wendy Adelson’s Children in Crisis What happens to children when their father is murdered, their grandparents are in prison, and suspicion hangs over their mother? In this closing segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, the panel and Shavaun Scott tackle the impossible parenting dilemmas at the heart of the Adelson saga. The discussion asks blunt questions: How can Wendy Adelson raise her children under such a cloud of suspicion? How do kids process the reality that their family members conspired to kill their father? And what hope exists for them to break free from the toxic cycles of manipulation and control that seem to define the Adelson legacy? Far from sensational, this conversation is emotionally grounded and painfully honest. Tony, Stacy, Todd, and Shavaun weigh the long-term psychological impacts, the role of therapy, and the possibility of rebuilding identity outside of the Adelson name. It’s a sobering close to a story that blends true crime with the deepest questions about love, loyalty, and survival.

The Holocaust Ring Wendy Adelson Refused to Return! Dan Markel Divorce Bombshell
The Holocaust Ring Wendy Adelson Refused to Return! Dan Markel Divorce Bombshell Divorce filings can reveal more than testimony ever could. In this segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, the spotlight turns to Dan Markel’s legal filings against Wendy Adelson — allegations that paint a picture of manipulation, secrecy, and unilateral control. From accusations of hidden accounts and blocked communication, to the shocking claim that Wendy refused to return a Holocaust family ring to Dan’s relatives, these filings suggest behavior that went far beyond typical divorce disputes. Tony and Shavaun Scott examine what these allegations reveal about the Adelson family’s mindset and how material objects, like the Holocaust ring, can become symbols of dominance in toxic relationships. Listeners are reminded that while these were never adjudicated in court due to Dan’s murder, the filings remain powerful indicators of how bitter and destructive the conflict had become. This segment reveals the financial and emotional battleground that formed the backdrop to one of the most notorious true crime cases in recent history.

Inside Wendy Adelson’s Explosive Fight With Her Boyfriend Jeff Lacasse
Inside Wendy Adelson’s Explosive Fight With Her Boyfriend Jeff Lacasse Jeff Lacasse’s relationship with Wendy Adelson was anything but stable. In this segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, listeners are taken inside a critical fight in Gainesville, where Jeff’s suspicions of infidelity and Wendy’s manipulative promises collided in a heated argument. From promises that Jeff would soon be “Daddy” to her children, to sudden cold shoulders and disappearing acts, Wendy’s behavior painted the portrait of a woman living in contradictions. The hosts analyze what this rollercoaster dynamic says about Wendy’s psychological state and the influence of her family. Was she stringing Jeff along to serve a hidden agenda? Was her erratic treatment of him a reflection of deeper turmoil as the Markel case inched toward tragedy? This segment underscores how personal relationships can reveal truths that legal filings alone cannot. Through Jeff’s testimony, the audience gains a clearer picture of the chaos and volatility surrounding Wendy Adelson in the final months before Dan Markel’s murder — and how even intimate relationships were twisted into the larger web of manipulation.
