Summary
In this opening segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, the foundation of the Dan Markel murder case is laid bare. Before the shooting, before the arrests, before the shocking headlines, there was a bitter divorce — and in those filings, a story of manipulation, alienation, and escalating conflict begins to emerge. Tony breaks down the allegations Dan Markel leveled against Wendy Adelson during their divorce, exploring how these disputes over custody, communication, and money paint a picture of mounting tension between two very different visions of family life.
The discussion also touches on how divorce itself often becomes a destructive force. Tony and his co-hosts reflect on the way emotions can spiral, how costly legal battles can take on lives of their own, and how bitterness can consume everyone involved. The Adelson case may be extreme, but its roots — the ugly side of family court — are painfully relatable for many listeners.
With this backdrop set, the stage is prepared for the testimony of Wendy’s ex-boyfriend, Jeff Lacasse, whose perspective adds a deeply personal layer to the unraveling of the Adelson family’s secrets. This first segment is both context and cautionary tale: when divorce becomes a weapon, lives can be destroyed long before a crime is ever committed.

| 0:00.0 | This is Hidden Killers with Tony Bruske. Here now, Tony Bruske. |
| 0:07.3 | There's more testimony from Jeff LaCose, the ex-boyfriend of Wendy Adelson, just when you thought |
| 0:15.5 | you heard it all. We're going to go through that today, and we're also going to dissect some of those divorce filings. |
| 0:24.4 | That went on between Wendy and Dan Markell while he was alive. |
| 0:29.7 | Some of these things filed never actually litigated. |
| 0:34.1 | So we're going to dive into some of those filings to get a better idea on who |
| 0:40.2 | Wendy was to Dan. These are allegations. These are allegations that Dan made in the divorce |
| 0:46.7 | filing. Now, keep in mind, it is, it is just that. If you've ever been through a divorce, |
| 0:51.4 | if you've ever known someone who's been through a divorce, when it got nasty, if it got nasty, you know that those two documents, those two filings that go back |
| 1:01.1 | and forth sometimes multiple times where it's a reply to this and a reply to that. |
| 1:05.1 | It can get pretty nasty. |
| 1:06.9 | And the reflection of the person that's being portrayed in those documents sometimes doesn't |
| 1:12.5 | necessarily reflect who we think they are or who they portray themselves to be in real life. |
| 1:18.7 | But we all know if you've been in a relationship, that person behind those closed doors in that |
| 1:24.0 | capacity is sometimes very different than that person that the public perceives. |
| 1:29.0 | We're going to hear how Dan, Markell, viewed Wendy, in his own terms, in his own words, |
| 1:36.1 | in those filings. |
| 1:37.4 | And that's going to come up in the second hour, Shavon Scott, psychotherapist, and author |
| 1:41.6 | are going to join us to help us break all of that down and kind of dissect the world and the |
| 1:46.2 | mindset that Danny Markell was in right at the time up into his death when the Aidelson family decided |
| 1:54.7 | we don't like this thorn in our side so we're going to get into that in just a little bit. So there's a lot to break |
| 2:03.1 | down here. I don't know why this case has been so fascinating, I guess because it keeps going |
