We knew very early on

that there was
a contentious divorce.

That was public.

A lot of the people
we interviewed told us,

you know, look at them,
look at the family.

But how did we go
from a contentious divorce

to a m*rder?

CAROLYN: One time,
Dan had the children.

And one of the sons
said to him,

Grandma says you're stupid.

Grandma says she hates you.

She says you're trying to take
her sunshines away from her.

She's influencing
the kids to look

at Dan in a negative light.

So he brings this
to the courts and says,

Donna needs to be supervised

when she's around
our children.

So this document is known
as the grandma motion.

JASON: Donna's world
was crumbling as she knew it.

The kids were going to be
in Tallahassee forever.

Now she's the subject

that she would have to have

somebody supervise her,
I think that that

was probably the final nail

PAT: We're building a great
case against the hit men,

but we're not gaining any
evidence on the Adelson family.

So what do we do?

- Luis Rivera
is already in custody

in the federal
detention center.

He was arrested
shortly after the m*rder

on unrelated charges.

He's not going anywhere.

The other one's Garcia.

He's out.
He's not in custody yet.

PAT: We were concerned
if we arrested Sigfredo,

the Adelson family
would start fleeing

before, you know, we were able
to get warrants on them.

And to us, the risk
of Sigfredo still free

didn't outweigh the need
to continue the investigation

at this exact moment.

So my theory is, it went all
the way back to Donna Adelson.

And I want to test
that theory.

How can we do this?
How?

PAT: We decide we had
to do something crazy.

This is it.
We get one shot.

SHERRIE:
During the wiretap,

Charlie spoke to his mom,
Donna, often.

- The hope was to capture them
communicating about the m*rder,

having some kind

about their involvement.

PAT: But they're not
talking about

the m*rder of Dan Markel,

two years later.

tickling the wire,
an idea to make them start

JASON: Luis Rivera
was doing a 12-year stint

in federal prison
for trafficking g*ns.

PAT: We thought he was paid
to do this homicide

by the Adelson family.

So it would be believable
that Luis wants

more money to keep this quiet.

So the idea was,
we send a undercover officer

pretending to be a g*ng member
associated with Luis Rivera,

have him bump into Donna
and deliver a single message.

CRAIG:
I found an article.

It basically had a nice picture
of Dan Markel.

We printed that out.

PAT: At the bottom of it, I
just had the undercover write,

"Call me, $5,000, call me,"

and had his phone number
on there.

If she had nothing to do
with it, then she would say,

I don't know what
they're talking about.

Maybe I should call the police.

But if she did, she's going
to call Charlie right away.

That will start
a chain of phone calls

where the coconspirators
reveal their involvement.

- There was ground surveillance
and aerial surveillance.

JASON:

he had body camera

PAT: She goes,
picks up the kids,

walks them right back across

First phone call
she makes is to who?

Charlie Adelson, her son.

her and Charlie.

A note was given to her
saying Dan Markel was k*lled.

You need to call me, $5,000.

And she says
it involves the two of us.

That right there
was a confession to me.

JASON: We knew we were
on the right track,

but the burden
of proof at a trial

is proof beyond
a reasonable doubt.

So it still wasn't enough.

PAT: The next day,
Charlie comes down

to meet Donna in person.

They end up walking
out the back of the condo,

walking down the sidewalk,
along the water.

Myself and another agent
dressed down,

looking like tourists
or whatever,

tried to get close to them,
but we couldn't really

get very close.

They go back in the building,

gets on the phone immediately,

calls Katherine Magbanua.

restaurant called Dolce Vita.

I had one person go in first.

And the other person
got ready, went in,

a different angle,

from two different angles.

I was pretty excited,
actually.

At this point, I already knew
that our other recordings

weren't very good.

my undercover agents

to get close as you can

looking over, looks at the bag.

telling people
to get on WhatsApp,

unfortunately,

is kind of at a dead end.

any further,

we need somebody to cooperate,

for somebody to turn around
and rat him out.

when we realized
that it's no longer

going to be fruitful for us,

conversations were
had with prosecutors

to discuss where are
we going to go moving forward.

we've just got

to start making some arrests.

So we went to the state
attorney's office.

for probable cause on Sigfredo,

Katie, and Charlie.

this middleman here going,

oh, my gosh, I really
think they got it.

I really think
this is the right case.

very contentious discussions,

they finally came out and said,

we're going to let you go
arrest Sigfredo Garcia,

But, you know, that was--
that was always up to Katie.

TARA: Let's ask
the most important question.

Did you have anything to do
with the m*rder of Dan Markel?

- No, ma'am.

TARA: Did you get the father
of your children, Mr. Garcia,

to commit a m*rder on behalf
of Mr. Charlie Adelson?

- No, ma'am.

- I know a lot of people
just get this idea

of what they think immunity is,
like, oh, my God,

why didn't she just
take that at the time?

The problem
was Sigfredo Garcia.

They were seeking
the death penalty against him.

That was the love of her life.

How long have you known
Mr. Garcia?

- A little over 15 years.

- If she only had to testify
against Charlie Adelson,

it wouldn't have been
a problem.

How many children do you have?

- Two.

TARA:
OK, how old are they now?

TARA: But she was not going
to testify

against the father
of her kids.

cooperating with us.

We were kind of
frustrated by it.

But with Luis Rivera's
testimony,

I felt fairly confident
in our case.

What was Mr. Markel doing

when you pulled up behind him?

And what happened once you

pulled into his driveway?

We saw footage.

We saw camera work.

Yeah.

CAROLYN: The first time Wendi
took the stand, I was like,

oh, you know, seems like
a nice, good-standing citizen,

pretty girl,
you know, a professional.

PROSECUTOR: Did Charlie Adelson
like Dan Markel?

And again, I'm referring to the
time frame before his death.

- I mean, I think he was also--

he would listen to me
when I would tell him

about things I was
upset about at the time

with the divorce.

So whether he liked him
or didn't like him,

he certainly
was supportive of me.

PROSECUTOR: But he never
expressed any dislike?

- No.

PROSECUTOR:
Did he mention hiring a hit man

to k*ll your husband?

TARA:
Objection, hearsay.

JUDGE:
Overruled.

- No.

PROSECUTOR: Did he ever
joke about he looked

into hiring a hit man
but buying you a TV

as a divorce present
would be cheaper?

- He did make that joke.

He tended to repeat himself.

And sometimes
he would make jokes

that weren't very funny
about all kinds of things.

CAROLYN:
But it didn't take long

before I was, like, a little--

some of the answers
she gave were just--

I was like,
she's a strange one.

She's a little strange.

that was filed
by your deceased ex-husband

involving an allegation
that your mother

was disparaging him
to the children?

WENDI: I am familiar

He felt like I was
abandoning him.

But I told him, I said, I can't
stay, you know, forever.

- Charlie ended up seeing

the nanny
of Wendi's ex-boyfriend.

He ended up getting
the nanny pregnant.

I kind of wanted him
to get arrested at that point

because I was so hurt
for what he did to me.

DRINA:
When I first met Kay,

it was one of my first times
I went to jail.

My first time, her first time.

There's all these sayings
when you go into jail,

like, you go in by yourself,

you're going to leave
by yourself.

Don't make friends.

But we became friends.

She was there forever,
waiting for the retrial.

And yes, she was frustrated.

But I feel like she
still may have had hope.

There was, like,
a toughness, almost.

Kay never said anything
about her case, ever, ever.

I'm sure people tried to get it
out of her, but she did not--

that was not something
that she talked about.

PAT: I kept coming back
to the Dolce Vita recording.

I know this is a partial
smoking g*n in the case.

I'm pretty sure they're
talking about the homicide.

And with really good
headphones...

Listening to it over and over,

you know, back it up
a section at a time,

listen to it...

PAT:
I could make out some of it.

And I could tell they were
talking about the m*rder

of Dan Markel.

So I'm scrambling, you know,
for months and months

and even during
the whole COVID,

sending it off to experts,
trying to figure out

how to get it enhanced.

I mean, we've done
everything we can think of.

There's an individual
who used to work for the CIA

and is doing some real
groundbreaking research,

technology
on audio enhancement.

And he works diligently
for months

and creates some algorithms
to where he's able to isolate

Katie and Charlie's voices
to a certain degree

to where we can hear it better.

- Pat sent it to me,
and I was like,

h*, boy, this is it.

Ran down the hallway, was like,
you've got to listen to this.

Eight years since the m*rder,

finally, it's time
to move forward on Charlie.

PAT: When I make an arrest,
that's not the end for me.

- One by one,
the players in this case

are brought to justice.

PROSECUTOR:
So why tell the truth now?

JASON:
There was a lot of people

that watched
Charlie's testimony

that were like,
the guy is--he's good.

ATTORNEY:
Why are you nervous?

- My whole life depends on it.

DRINA: She said she wanted
to shove a shoe down

Robert's throat and k*ll him.

- Family, power,
money, betrayal.

- This whole thing
will make you go crazy.
