Summary
With Donna Adelson convicted and Wendy under growing scrutiny, one question remains: what about Harvey Adelson? The patriarch of the family sat silently through his wife’s trial, his face betraying little. But how much did he know about the plot to murder Dan Markel? And how much responsibility does he bear for the fallout now consuming his family?
In this segment of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, Bob Motta joins to explore Harvey’s role and the broader implications for the Adelson family. Was he a passive bystander, or did he knowingly enable the conspiracy? Did he simply turn a blind eye to his wife and children’s actions, or was he part of the planning from the beginning?
The conversation also examines the devastating impact on the Markel family, who continue to fight for access to Dan’s children, as well as the systemic issues exposed by the case. The Adelson saga is not just about on e murder — it’s about power, control, and the lengths some families will go to in order to maintain both.

| 0:00.0 | This is Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brewski, Stacey Cole, and Todd Michaels. |
| 0:09.0 | And that's my question, because there's a lot of people that are going on this case, and they could be completely wrong. I'm not particularly on this bandwagon, but I'm willing to hear them out. The order in which this has been going, you typically start, you know, |
| 0:21.8 | the way that they did. And you're going to eventually get your kingpin. Was Donna the kingpin? |
| 0:28.0 | Or do they think Wendy is the kingpin in terms of value here? Was Wendy more involved than we're |
| 0:35.4 | all aware of, I guess, is the big question. |
| 0:39.0 | And what, or was she not at all? Is this just now going to be collateral damage at this point? |
| 0:44.4 | And the kingpin already has been taken down. And, well, we have enough to go after her now, if they do. |
| 0:49.8 | Only sure. |
| 0:50.7 | You guys, a few of our viewers have really been pounding that Wendy is the kingpin here, |
| 0:56.4 | that she's, she has been the mastermind of this entire. |
| 0:58.8 | Thus far, we don't have the evidence that shows that. |
| 1:01.2 | But I'm not going to say it's not out there. |
| 1:04.3 | Yeah. |
| 1:05.6 | Look, the one thing that we know is Georgia knows all the evidence that they have. |
| 1:10.0 | Yeah. |
| 1:10.4 | You know, and I think for Georgia, some of the bigger things that came up from post |
| 1:16.4 | arrest of Donna was the fact that they got their hands on Donna's phone, right? So, because that was, |
| 1:24.4 | that was a thing that they didn't have. And to me, if they're looking at, all right, what is the best order of these cases? |
| 1:34.4 | Because that's a part of it in terms of post arrest collection of evidence. |
| 1:40.6 | They have a much better opportunity to continue to collect evidence against Wendy, |
| 1:46.3 | post arrest of the other two, because that's when they're going to get their hands on their |
