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, SCS Nation, and welcome to another episode of Surviving the Survivor.

It is the podcast that promises and delivers on bringing you the very best guests in all of true crime day in and day out.

Today, we're pivoting back to another disturbing North Florida murder for hire plot story.

Now, our original story, of course, is the murder of Dan Markell, the

FSU Law Professor. You guys know that story. Gunned down in his Tallahassee driveway back in July

of 2014. There was a custody dispute over his children, his ex-wife, Wendy Adelson, reportedly whining to the family.

The family, you know, takes action, hires a couple of thugs, and one was a Latin King gang

member, threw a go-between and try to take care of their problem.

However, years later, Charlie Adelson has now been convicted for that crime, and the mother,

the matriarch, Dan Markell's ex-mother-in-law, is going to stand trial.

Well, an eerily similar case playing out in Jacksonville, Florida, this, the Microsoft executive, Jared Bridegan.

And I know his family tunes in occasionally, Kirsten Bridegan.

So our thoughts are with you.

And we are here to help you if you need us. And there is a justice for Jared Bridegan page, I think think on Facebook and also on Instagram, so and

on X as well. So if you're interested in this case, as you should be, if you're a true

crime, Dave Ote, please support the Bridegan family. But this actually happened back in

February of 2022.

So that's exactly three years from today that it did happen.
