A law professor is killed after a contentious divorce. Police spend a decade investigating their lead suspects: his ex-in-laws, the Adelsons.

In 2014, after law professor Dan Markel was murdered in his Florida home, investigators turned to his ex‑wife for answers. The pair were in a contentious custody battle, and Wendi Adelson wanted to move their children closer to her affluent parents and brother. Police arrested the shooter, whose ex‑girlfriend was on the payroll at the Adelson family dental practice. But evidence that any of the relatives paid for the hit was elusive. Nearly a decade after the killing, secret recordings and accomplice testimony finally led investigators to those who orchestrated Markel’s death: his ex‑wife’s brother, Charlie Adelson, and her mother, Donna Adelson.

The Hulu true‑crime series “Welcome to the Family: The Murder of Dan Markel” retraces the twisting investigation into the Adelson family, accused of using a hitman to settle a custody battle. The show not only follows how investigators assembled the pieces and won convictions in the case; it takes a deep dive into the dynamics among a controlling mother, a pampered daughter, a playboy son, and the black sheep of the family.
