Woman Hired Hitmen to Kill Her Boyfriend's Ex-Brother-in-Law

This episode details the intricate murder-for-hire plot that led to the 2014 execution of law professor Dan Markel. Investigators discovered a conspiracy involving Katherine Magbanua, who acted as a middlewoman between the Adelson family and two hired hitmen. Driven by a bitter custody battle, the Adelsons allegedly funded the killing to allow Markel's ex-wife to relocate with her children. While Magbanua initially denied involvement, she was eventually convicted and later testified against the Adelsons. This testimony helped secure life sentences for both Charlie Adelson and his mother, Donna Adelson, for their roles in orchestrating the crime. The narrative highlights how digital evidence, financial trails, and a law enforcement sting operation eventually dismantled the family's web of lies.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/murder-files-unsealed--6017387/support.This episode includes AI-generated content.
