Shocking Wiretap Recordings Between Charlie Adelson and Mother Revealed in Murder Trial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 жов 2023
- As the hitman conspiracy murder trial stretches into day five, jurors listened to phone recordings of conversations between Charlie Adelson and his mother, Donna Adelson. The calls revealed that an undercover agent reaching out to the Adelson family dental practice, requesting to speak with Donna regarding “important paperwork,” previously delivered to her during what investigators called "The Bump." When she learned about the call, Donna promptly sought advice from Charlie. These recordings could potentially play a critical role in the conviction, or acquittal, of Charlie Adelson, who is accused of being the mastermind behind his ex-brother-in-law’s 2014 murder.

Charlie's face after hearing the wiretaps between him and Katie was priceless. That's the face of someone who knows they're done for.
So true
Almost as bad as his red eyed mugshot
He looks like a zombie, lol. I can’t wait to see how much worse he looks at sentencing.
the tension is certainly rising a little bit
@@chrismac9851😊
This whole Alderson family needs to be jail for life
The Adelsons would LOVE to see the Aldersons take the rap.
@@ccrider3435😂
Jailed*
They're working on it.😅😅😅
@@petercallinicosexactly one at a time…!
This is just shocking that the whole family is just morally bankrupt.
They are jewish that's how they roll
That Mother set this in motion, she should be arrested!
Arrogant and narcissistic people.
@bettyperkins7379 yes and so should the sister😊
The root cause of this drama is Harvey wasn’t the leader and man of the family. Donna was 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏼♂️🤪. He will forever go to his grave regretting submitting to Donna. She and Wendi and Her boy came up with this strategy
The whole family is involved or has knowledge of this murder. They all hold a degree of culpability.
Amen
All but the older brother who has little contact with his “family.”
I am concerned that Wendi will walk!
I don’t think the Dad knew, when it happened , remember the Mother didn’t want to tell him because he would be Mad!!!! I think Mother and daughter started this and Charlie got pulled in! I would even go so far as Katie and his Mother had conversations to set it all up!!! And Charlie ended up involved at some point!
They all hold a degree. That's for sure
Does anyone else think that when Charlie was telling his mother that he talked his sister out of buying a house in Tallahassee, he was really talking about having persuaded Wendy to get rid of the custody issue -- aka the ex-husband -- and move to south Florida?
And they spoke no more about it until he told her how they took care of the problem -- and that's when she vomited on the table?
Why hasn’t Donna Adelson the murderer been arrested yet?
She will be - trust.
The prosecutor has a strategy - using one against the other until all of the information causes them all to be ensnared.
I think the prosecutor's office wants to see if they get a conviction against Charlie off this evidence first. If so, they will probably charge her next.
It's coming
Great question
What a despicable family . It’s beyond comprehension. What a nightmare it must have been for Dan to be in this family while he was . So sad for his family. It’s outrageous. They are all part of a murder ! They hired a hitman to kill the father of those children! Unreal . They obvious came to think they were above everyone.
Maybe that’s what keeps the other son away.
I'm sure they'll never expected his in-laws would murder him
There God chosen people the Jews SMH....they actually believe that crap.
Supremacy is part of the moral code of the talmudic cult they belong to
If you are religious than you must forgive them lol.
Donna and Wendi next, as soon as Charlie’s cell door is locked behind him.
The only difference between Charlie Manson and Charlie Adelson is that Charlie Adelson went to dental school.
Huh?
That’s a stretch
Lol
This Family is SCARY. The Sister looked like a psychopath in the stand. Apparently the entire family are 😮
So true. Wendi’s 3rd testimony she looks a lot less confident and cocky than her first 2 testimonies! Charlie’s arrest is little close to home! I hope she’s next. She threw her own brother under the bus and
has distanced her self from the final planning. But she set it all in motion.
Being a lawyer herself, with the divorce and custody battle going on, she knew she would be #1 suspect after Dan’s murder, that’s why her name was never mentioned in the entire plotting because they knew she would be looked at the most. But considering how freakishly close this family is, I’m not convinced that they would go ahead to kill her ex husband without her being ok with it.
@@MortgageGirl7Wendi has immunity from prosecution.
@@kandik7641she has immunity only during this particular trial and what she said on stand during Charlie's trial. But she doesn't have overall immunity.
@@kandik7641 no she doesnt
Imagine if Charlie was your dentist while all this was going on! I wouldn’t trust him with a drill.
While you are under anesthesia- bc he’s a surgeon
@@kate4biglittlevoicesThat's probably why he went into that specialty, so he could have power over people. Extremely creepy.
That always freaks me out. Dentist seem to be a little sadistic already and this just makes it all the more creepy.
And having his cell phone drop of a patient during surgery. He’s something else…
I love how this Bump sent them spiraling
It sure did. The undercover agent played these fools. I love it.
Listening to these phone calls are aggravating 🥴 All of them, if they’re all behind the killing of this poor guy they all need to go to jail🤷🏻♀️
They r guilty but that Dan hasn’t been poor but abusive
Worst of the worst!!
@@golnaz.shoushfamily court judge disagreed with you 😇
None of the phone calls show prior knowledge.
@@golnaz.shoush According to Wendi he was abusive, so we don't really know.
Sad that this has taken 10 years to get where we are…hopefully the prosecution will get the entire Adelson family in prison in the next year. This murder seems like it should be resolved soon.
I think part of the reason it’s taken so long is that the prosecution was getting all the their ducks in a row. They want to get everyone one by one. Like dominos 😂
Wendi Adelson needs to be in jail too, she was the one who got ball rolling. What a shame if the whole family doesn't go down.
Dr. Harvey Adelson was my mother's dentist many years ago. She thought Harvey & Donna were lovely people. Glad she will never learn about this horror .
Wow that’s interesting! RIP to your mom ♥️
If they were being approached outside of their home on the street and called at work, why no calls to 911 immediately. Someone is stalking you, threatening you and they don’t report?!
IKR! They don't report because they're the murderers
Poor Dan. He had no idea what he married into. This is one sick co-defendant family. Wendi is just as guilty. Praying for justice.
Only 6 years married to Wendi and he s gone. If she would just wait a little longer. Maybe he marry girlfriend, has new family and allow her to move with the boys.
Co-defendent family???
It's their culture
Co-dependent?
He wasnt a good person either but didnt deserve that
Rich people committing the worst of the worst crimes. Must be torture sitting in that seat knowing you're never going back to your manse on the beach.
They're talking on the phone about the kids' tennis lessons and calling each other "sweetie pie," all the while they paid for hired cut-rate killers to off the kids' dad.
Anyone who thinks they're family might be dysfunctional has nothing on this family of miscreants.
Rich people paying poor people to do their dirty work….
U lie with dog u rise with flee these days u have some dogs who r man’s best friends wouldn’t trade my four legged friend for people like these
Or just the beach ever again!
or get to offer your mom to drop her off in your limo. boohoo.
Wheres the call where donna calls her lawyer daughter and says," We are being extorted , and need to tskk to the police." If they are claiming they are so afraid for their lives, then where is the call where the Adelson family is on a group call expressing their fear and anger and discussing what they shoukd do about it?! The family are the masterminds and guilty 💯
Exactly!!!!
Wendi is the ONLY Adelson who avoided the wiretaps 😂😂 passing a bar exam has its perks. But idk why she didn't alert the rest of the family to stay away from having shady discussions over the phone?
@@pheo1418she let them fend for themselves after they got her dirty deed done
@@marshapieroni6677🎯
Wendi complains every chance she gets that she was at the police station for 6 hours with “no attorney.” I thought she was one, herself……& they also contacted an independent lawyer to see if it was “legal” to bribe Dan with a million dollars…..shouldn’t Wendi of known the answer? I mean, we had to listen to how intelligent she is…..
Wendy is the one that set it in motion, it's her anger, their kids, no one pulled this out of thin air
That girlfriend presents herself as a princess on the stand, but she's a vile woman. She makes Gotti look like the altar boy.
I could take a 2 hour nap falling asleep to his calls and wake up and he’s still complaining about Wendi driving past the crime scene and the definition of reasonable doubt.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
3:49 oooh Donna, you better look over your shoulder, because they’re coming after you next🤣🤣
She’s been arrested!😂
@@ravenzyblackcoincidentally on the same day she tried leaving the country. Sooooo many coincidences 😂
Why does Charlie have that smirk on his face after listening to the phone calls?
He is probably thinking he is not going to jail because other people are already serving time for this crime.
Dupers delight is strong with him and Wendi 😮
Those children are going to hate their relatives
Bottom line.....if this dude and his mommy were innocent and there was an attempted extortion.....his first call would be to the FBI.........not katie........him and mommy are guilty af imo
They're like a mob family. Such hostility towards the son-in-law/brother-in-law or other outsiders. Murder? What is going on in this family.
crime...murder for hire...and prison time
The Adelson Crime family Donna's the boss and Charlie's the underboss.
High degree narcissism and sociopathy.
What’s going on is the parents are narcissistic and so are the kids . That’s why older brother has nothing to do with them
Mom has to explain her response to these recordings when her trial finally happens
This Mother why would she want to put her children thru this horrible Mother
Put her grandsons through this😭
She's a narcissist herself.
She is beyond disgusting and horrifying! What a TERRIBLE woman! Her grandchildren will HATE her, grand pap, Uncle Charlie AND Mommy someday when they learn they all had their father killed..........
She is void of morals. She has no soul.
Donna Adelson the grandmother has kicked her other son out of the family for not marrying a Jewish girl.
He has been disowned by the family. These 2 little boys are Donna's ONLY grandchildren ! You know that grandparents want to see the grand children. In this family it seems like its more intense desire to keep those kids in the Adelson side of the family away from Dan Merkel's parents. Remember that either Wendy or Charlie offered $1,000,000 to Dan Merkel to get custody of the kids & move them to the Miami area with the Adelson's. That is how desperate they were to get the kids from Dan.
Donna and Wendi must be arrested too - for plotting this crime.
for conspiring to commit murder!
They just got Donna 😂
Wow. Sounds like the whole family and the wife are involved after hearing testimony the past few days. Sad for the two sons left behind.
Prison is like a country club compared to where all the Adelsons will spend eternity.
These people had everytihng. They were all lawyers and doctors with millions of dollars and threw it away over visitation.
I know crazy. All that work all that schooling , down the drain in one swoop
Funny because Charlie was very quiet during his call to the FBI bump number yet he retells it as if he did most of the talking. Charlie even embellished and added more to it. Yeah the jury got this one right 💯
@@DonnasDiarrhea love the name . Apparently the entire family has tummy issues lol
If they had just not spoken on the phone they probably would have gotten away with it. The calls between Charlie and his mom are just jaw-dropping that they would sit and talk like that on the phone.😂😂😂 That's Criminal Behavior 101. NEVER SPEAK ON THE PHONE!!!!
Why did he listen to all the other calls but not interested in hearing himself speak to the undercover? The look on his murderous face is priceless.
This is like a movie…I keep thinking there is no way this is real
Donna's chat with Charlie......Donna talking to Dan's kids...."just a second sweeties I am talking with your uncle about how we offed your daddy"
Oldest son Robert Adelson bailed on the family a long time ago thanks to Donna. I see why now.
I never need to hear the phrase "taking care of" ever again.
The next time you sit in your dentists chair and think he's thinking only about your wisdom teeth, think again😂
Stoooop 😂😂😂
😂 omg! 🙈
Yikes 😂😂😂
This comment has made my day. I laughed out so loud. Look how you're going to make me stay away from dentist😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Charlie thinks it's a hoot, like "hey you guys really fooled me there". Was barely supressing his laughter. He's a middle class man totally out of his depth dealing with cut-throat crooks, but he statred the whole mess himself. Probably thought that hiring a hit man was like hiring an architect, when the job's done, pay the bill and part like gentlemen🤣
Love the way ole tough Charlie gets soft spoken and polite whenever KB goes off on him.
Which fed prison will he be sent to?
Who's next in that family to be charged? Surely Donna must be made "to face the music".
I think Charlie is soft spoken around Katie because she had power over him. The kinda power that could see him sharing a prison cell with roaches
Charlie wont be going to a Federal Prison, he will be in a Florida pen. He wishes he would go into a Federal country club prison
Not a federal case. It's a state case. No club fed for Chuck
It’s insane that Charlie is trying to claim extortion by Katie and the killers. This guy is delusional. His midget lawyer is ridiculous.
Lol midget lawyer 😂
It's absolutely possible that Charlie ordered the hit and was blackmailed after Danny was unalive.
The two aren't mutually exclusive
@cityvibegirl Except there's zero evidence to support that they were blackmailed
It’s the best chance the attorney has to establish doubt in the case based on all the wire taps ……. The credibility of Katie and Pato isn’t exactly intact and Katie has been lying on the stand repeatedly …..
@@cityvibegirlexcept we know it's law enforcement.
The ironic and pathetic part is Charlie's GF threatening to call the FBI
Wow. These recordings are crazy!
Dan's kids have no father because of this absolutely horrific family. I suspect every single one of them has about 6 or 7 different kinds of barbituates in their systems at any given time just to deal with the guilt and stress of getting caught.
You need to have a conscience to feel guilt - stress is due to their current situation. Not once have they have said I wish Dan wasn't dead or they wish it hadn't happened to him
Magbanua's voice really annoys me - she is a total pos.
What’s funny is Charlie nailed himself. He just can’t stop talking.
I love listening to Katie curse. In court she was like yes ma’am no ma’am. Justice for Dan finally came.
So let me get this straight: Charlie’s story is that he was extorted by Katie & co. and he paid up. Then someone extorts the Adelsons, saying they know about the initial extortion?!? This makes absolutely no sense
It's absolutely possible that Charlie ordered the hit and was blackmailed after Danny was unalive.
The two aren't mutually exclusive
@@cityvibegirl
Yeah, but that would be asking for payment for "Services Rendered" - Not extortion -Maybe Charlie didn't cough up exactly what was promised? A stereotypical J.£.W.Y thing to do! 😉
@@purebloodheretic4682
WHY make that comment? Just why? Does it make
You feel superior to make nasty comments about other
people?
@@teenanance8691 😂 Only Racially Superior!😉
I don't know what part was 'Nasty' it's a well known Stereotype of the "Tribe" for the past 500+ years & let's face it this bloke got his Brother in law Knocked off! I Feel Zero Sympathy! 🤍🙋🏼♂️\o👍
@@purebloodheretic4682nothing nasty about it, it’s just the truth. My dad says ___ em down so much when I was a kid that I thought it was just another English word. It’s just the truth.
Guilty, guilty the whole lot of them.
These folks are beyond guilt. The problem here is that the Keystone Kops who 'investigate' this homicide are allowing the criminals to walk around free... Over 10 years to add insult to injury, Wow!
Sometimes it takes cpl yrs, sometimes 10, 20 or 30yrs but believe me everyday that the guilty are free, their minds are not. Watching and waiting for the day the police may pounce on them.
Patience. One by one, they are falling...
I live in Tallahassee, PD has had a few cases that were botched. Racheal Houffman was one.
They should have followed Avon Barksdales rules. No talking on the phone.
It sounds like the family knew they were being recorded and trying to watch everything they say and do. This is crazy!
Yep
I wonder how many years Ms. Magbanua served in the Navy. I mean, it usually takes at least 20 years of sea duty to learn to curse like that.
What a mess! They are all guilty!
He has this weird smirk, almost a smile, at times as he is listening to these calls. Does he think this is funny? I hope he , his mom AND his sister all do jail time.
It's a facade. His eyes show the "I'm in deep $#!+".
I agree with a pundit that this is also a pretrial for Wendi & Mommy. Other than the brother that lives in New York state, this family is so evil 😈.
I think the mother controlls her whole family
Why did they hate him so much ??
Katie was so upset like they are the victims…lol. How quickly people forget when they murder someone!
How come Charlie asked his girl to call up the unknown person? He is bottomless shame!!!
This lady does not get called on the stand😢😢😢 There is definitely something wrong with the system this evil witch needs to go to jail
i believe they are going to charge her as well
Why call her if she isn't going to speak? She was going to plead the 5th on everything.
@@icameisaws4829 Letting her plead the 5th in front of the jury would be compelling.
The State Attorneys know what they're doing!
Which lady? The mom?
Not gonna happen
Katie Magbanua testified yesterday
I wonder why she married Dan in the first place?
Weird it never occurred to these scumbags that it was the “Police” that was contacting them…Its like they never watch true crime. They need to go rot in jail. Bye bye…..
They suspected it might be cops but they also thought that nobody but them really knew what went on since *UP TO THAT TIME THEY GOT AWAY WITH IT*
This isn’t him getting extorted 😅
right
The real mastermind is the mama!!! It's always the Mama!!!!
So true. Charlie would have run his ‘hit man’ solution’ by Ma, and probably Pa, and they gave him the thumbs up. Dunno how much Wendi knew.
The Adelsons are a dangerous family, deadly dangerous
If mama ain't happy...ain't nobody happy!!! 😂😂😂
I think Wendi knew how to work her mom and brother up into a frenzy. Because her mom couldn’t handle seeing her daughter upset over the kids and divorce.
My mother babies and is fiercely protective of my lil sis.
Very telling for Wendy to throw her brother under the bus from ‘day one’! Because there is plenty of proof she knew it was happening.
Wendi manipulated everybody; of course she knew of the hit. The hitmen had Dan's exact daily routine. She even drove by the crime scene few minutes post-murder to make sure they carried out the hit.
But wendi is the one who put the bug in her ear.
This case is getting really good. Three down, Charlie is next, then Donna and Wendi...
Get out the popcorn folks - its gonna be really good from here on out!
That smug on his face is surprisingly gone after listening to these nicely recorded calls…could it be that he knows he is DONE! I guess he will be the prison dentist-for free real soon.
That’s a great idea..everyone committing crimes to get free dental implants😳🤪
This Officer is so professional and so knowledgeable about the work he did in this case. With so much negativity from certain former higher ups in our country regarding the FBI and law enforcement you now see the real truth in this Officer and his colleagues.
+1
Those Constitution subverting people you mention are probably rooting for the Charlie Adelsons and Alex Murdaughs of this world.
Local FBI agents aren’t the problem. It’s the higher ranking individuals in DC.
Save the political comments and blaming for the right channels. This case is over 10 years old.
FBI gets better and better over the years
@@islandthrifts809totally agree
I love how these amateurs started to unfurl, it's beautiful to listen to 😂 The rising panic is palpable.
These tapes are the nails in the coffin for Charlie and potentially his mother. Too bad everyone was so eager to protect Wendy, it will be harder to prove she was the original source of everything.
She was the one who would benefit most.
So there is the motive.
I don't know I'm just a layman. But that's got to hold weight doesn't it?
Without obscenities, this would have been a 10 second call. Call the number. Okay but it's not working.
One wonders, what other murders may they have committed.
This 💯
Yep
Reminds me of a scene from the movie "Liar Liar"
Defense Lawyer: "Your honor, I Object!"
Judge: "On what grounds?"
Defense Lawyer: "that these recordings are devastating to my case"
😂😂😂😂
Love that movie
He thinks he is in the clear & never be convicted. He thinks it funny
This confirmed his involvement in Dan's murder for me.
This?? Not the 50 other things??
@@kholt2671not really, no. That stuff is circumstantial at best.
Mommy was the master mind and Charlie was trying to please her
I think you’re right .. but why? How could he do such a thing ?
Wendi = Mastermind....she played them and then drove to the crime scene 1+ hour after murder!
Bingo Charlie ! Your done bud
This woman needs to be in jail along with her daughter Wendi. I can't believe they're still free living their lives. That isn't justice. Lock them all up!
Is that the mother talking on those calls ??
The entire family was in on it.
Katie needs to get her law degree while shes on vacation. She asks valid questions and gets to the point. Charlie is a nimrod..such a bad retelling
She has to because Charlie talks in circles, on uppers
Convicted felons can't go to law school
Knowing your calls are being monitored is perhaps the only reason one would make intentionally misleading statements.
True. But at some point you go to authorities? Problem is they also suspected to be in trouble with the IRS
The absolutely worse was suggesting hiring the Grinch to bump off Santa Claus! now that’s low…
Donna adelson is the worst mother and she thinks she is the one to judge dan markel as father. She not only ruined dan markel boys life but also charlie( not that i care). Imagine growing up with donna adelson babysitting you.
This is why if you’re a criminal you never talk on the phone
KM is a keeper, such a sweet young lady. She speaks so eloquently.
😅😂
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, she does speak like a class act!…Did you notice when she asked about how the (undercover) caller was speaking, and Charlie said he used the phrase “in reference to”, she said “wow, educated words”, or something to that effect?…I thought, yeah, ‘that WOULD be educated for YOU’, considering her use of the English language!…Pathetic excuses for human beings, the whole bunch of them; but especially the Adelsons!…
Woah !? Settle down there Rocky and enjoy your lifetime cell buddy
Love it! Tensions rising a little bit?!?! Lol
It’s cruel what they did to the father of the kids, they watch too many movies but forgot to watch the ending, as they either go to jail or six foot deep
So funny that Charlie lies to Katie about the call with Sammy: "I told him it wasn't important who I am and no one is paying anyone. What a fool. So pathetic it's embarrassing.
Both liars, she had the right number, she told her BD to call, she’s telling Charlie it’s not the right number getting so angry when she’s lying lol. They’re both trying to finesse eachother
These people are real class acts, aren’t they??…They have no moral character WHATSOEVER!!…Unbelievable…
He looks too confident, and he is willing to go to jail so that his mom and sister don’t. I feel bad for the boys.
If the Adelson’s truly thought they could get away with this because of the privilege that having all that money brought them… I genuinely wonder what families like the Kardashians are hiding…
Well we know for a fact Bruce Jenner transitioned so he couldn’t be charged with manslaughter when he hit someone in his car
What is the current Clinton death count? Don't see any arrests there
As an aside: Katie came out of her mom’s womb with the aid of a doctor’s hands. The doctor pointed to her mom and asked Katie: “Is this your mother?”
Katie: “No”.
Before she answered she would ask if they had anything she could read forst
😂😂😂😂😂
Oh and BTW Wendi Adelson represents Coca Cola no kidding. She also talks at Ivy league Universities. Unbelievable!!!
The "bump" was more like a jolt! Genius!
This is such premeditated murder. It makes a burglary gone wrong (when someone gets shot) seem like the lesser of two evils. This family is an abomination.
There's absolutely no way Wendy didn't know about the plan to kill her boys father.
Without her approval it would never have happened.
It's ludicrous to think she wasn't involved.
She had the most to benefit.
Which is motive.
Disagree I think the grandmother wanted these kids there with her so bad she orchestrated this whole thing with her son
@@jaymejohnson2375 I respectfully disagree.
There's plenty of evidence pointing at her guilt.
How is Ms. Magbanua gonna ask if the under cover said a bad word? What is she trying find out if he is her type? I lost count of how many times she said the F word in one 2 minute phone conversation 😂
😂😂yup
😂😂😂
This would be such a good movie and or mini series
No matter how that defense attorney roll those dices… he’s defendant number is up !!!!
The Dr's face after listening to their calls OMG.
