Welcome to the global phenomenon, Surviving the Survivor, where we bring you the best guests in all of true crime.

Here's your host, Emmy Award winning journalist Joel Waldman.

What's up, St.S. Nation, and welcome to another episode of Surviving the Survivor, the podcast, that promises to bring you the very best guests in all of true crime.

Today, not only best guests, but special best guests.

We're going to get into it momentarily.

But for those of you who were not here earlier, we were covering the Corey Richens hearing. You can catch it on a replay. They only had an audio feed of the hearing. And then at 7 o'clock today, we are asking where is Suzanne Simpson? Her husband just arrested for her murder, but she is missing. So obviously, authorities have to have something we don't know about

that's pretty substantial. So we'll be discussing that at 7 o'clock. But this next hour and

change, it's all about Dan Markell and justice for Dan Markell, for those who have been living

underneath Iraq. It was July 18th, 2014.

Dan arrives back at his house after going to the gym and dropping his kids off,

and he is shot twice, and he succumbs to his injuries the following day.

There's a long police investigation.

Turns out it's two thugs from the Miami Beach area,

probably 20 blocks from where I live.

They connect the go between Katie McBanawa to a guy named Charlie Adelson.

Turns out that Wendy Adelson was married to Dan Markell.

Police do their investigative work

everyone is convicted but the family until uh november of last year charlie adelson is convicted

spending life in prison and the trial for donna the matriarch of the family was set

to uh start uh and then everything imploded.

So we've got Ruth Markell on the show today.

Of course, she is Dan's mother, the matriarch of her family.
