On the evening of Feb. 16, 2022, Jared Bridegan had just dropped off his 9-year-old twin son and daughter at his ex-wife's - Shanna Gardner's -home in Jacksonville Beach and was headed back to St. Augustine where he lived. With his 2-year-old daughter from a new wife in the car, he stopped because of a tire on the road near the exit. In what police believe was a planned attack, he was shot multiple times as he apparently attempted to move the tire. His vehicle's hazard lights were still blinking with his daughter sitting in her car seat unharmed. But many more families were inexorably damaged because of what transpired that fateful day. It's not unlike the Dan Markel murder who was murdered in a plot arranged by now convicted killer Charlie Adelson - Dan's ex brother in law. Donna Adelson the family matriarch also sits in the same Tallahassee jail on the exact same charges Tonight we examine why do some divorces wind up in murder. #BestGuests [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/bestguests]: The hosts of the podcast Divorce, Etc. T.H. and Jess are best friends who lived parallel lives - engaged a month apart, married a month apart, and after 13 yrs finding out their husbands were cheating and traveling with their girlfriends ...So they launched Divorce Etc Olivia Brooke Summerhill.
