Dan Markel, a brilliant legal scholar, was brutally murdered in a carefully orchestrated hit amid a nasty custody battle with his ex-wife's family. The investigation unraveled a twisted plot involving his ex-brother-in-law, Charlie Adelson, who was eventually convicted, and other family members caught in the sinister scheme.

Despite the tragic loss, Dan's legacy shines on through laws protecting grandparents' rights. This case is a haunting reminder of the extreme lengths people will go to out of greed and betrayal.
