In this true crime story of Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, Ky unravels the perplexing and tragic case of Professor Dan Markel, a law professor whose life was cut short in a murder-for-hire plot. Set against the backdrop of Tallahassee, Florida, this story goes into a tangled web of family conflict and custody battles that spanned over a decade, leading to multiple arrests and significant legal reforms.

Dan Markel, a brilliant academic with a promising career, was ambushed and shot in his own garage in 2014. The investigation reveals a shocking conspiracy involving his ex-wife Wendi Adelson's family, including her brother Charlie and mother Donna, who allegedly sought to eliminate Dan to gain full custody of his children. The case takes several twists and turns, with key players like Sigfredo Garcia, Luis Rivera, and Katherine Magbanua implicated in the murder plot.
