WEBVTT - BONUS: Introducing Over My Dead Body

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Hey, everybody, there's a new podcast in town from Wondering,

0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 1>the network that brought you Dr Death and Dirty John,

0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:09.399
<v Speaker 1>and you should give it a listen. It's called Over

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 1>My Dead Body is hosted by journalist Matt Scherer, who

0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:16.360
<v Speaker 1>examines the case of a wealthy Florida couple who seemingly

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 1>perfect marriage ends in a nasty divorce, but then things

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:23.160
<v Speaker 1>taking even darker turn went on one hot July day,

0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>one half of the formerly happy couple is murdered in

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>cold blood. It's the case I was going to say

0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>as much to you about marriage and love as it

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 1>says about justice and revenge. It's one of the most

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 1>bizarre murder cases in Florida history, and you're about to

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:40.840
<v Speaker 1>hear a clip of the first episode. So while you're listening,

<v Speaker 1>The case is still developing, so be sure to subscribe

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:49.000

<v Speaker 1>in the show notes that will take you right to

0:00:50.680 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>the show. Enjoy. One morning, attorney David Latt was sitting

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 1>in his apartment in d C flipping through the Sunday

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:06.399
<v Speaker 1>New York Times when he arrived at his favorite part

0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 1>of the paper. I have to confess I am a

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:14.399
<v Speaker 1>devoted reader of the New York Times wedding announcements. Latt

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>loves the wedding section, even though the vast majority of

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 1>couples are total strangers to him. They are looking for

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:24.839
<v Speaker 1>people with impressive pedigrees. They are looking for people who

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.399
<v Speaker 1>are photogenic. But on that morning he spotted a pair

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 1>of familiar faces. They were both a very impressive, accomplished

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 1>young lawyers. There are a very nice looking couple. So

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>if anyone was going to make it into those pages,

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 1>it was going to be Dan and Wendy. Latt began

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:47.559
<v Speaker 1>to read. Wendy Jill Adelson, the daughter of Donna Sue

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Adelson and Dr Harvey J. Adelson of Coral Springs, Florida,

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 1>is to be married this evening to Dan Eric Marquel,

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the son of Ruth Marquel and Phil Marquel of Toronto.

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>The bride twenty x is keeping her name. I think

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>it was the best wedding I've ever been to. Every

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Kohler's was a high school buddy of Dan's. He made

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.639
<v Speaker 1>the trip to Boca Raton for the celebration, as did

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of other friends and family members. The weather perfect,

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 1>the venue extravagant, and at the center of all of

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>it the happy couple Dan and Wendy danced for hours

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 1>with their guests. It just felt like it was overflowing

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>with with joy and love. I mean that sounds so.

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 1>I actually found an email I sent to Dan on

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>March four of two thousand six. Hi, Dan, congratulations and

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 1>best wishes to you and Wendy. I'm sitting at home

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 1>reading the Sunday Times and lo and behold there you

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>are best Dave. And it's funny. Dan actually responded, because

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Dan was a very diligent email responder, even though he

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>was on his honeymoon. Greetings from Club med, he wrote.

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>And then I responded, checking email in your honeymoon. You

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 1>truly are a cyber addict. I thought I was bad.

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Don't respond to this email. I hope you're having a

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.519
<v Speaker 1>wonderful time. So what makes a good marriage anyway? I

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 1>guess I would say that crucial to a good marriage

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>is mutual respect, love, of course, but also respect. But

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.080
<v Speaker 1>as you can probably guess, this isn't a story about

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.359
<v Speaker 1>the happy ever afters, the lucky ones, the couples who

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.920
<v Speaker 1>grow more inseparable with age, not even close. I have

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 1>to be a little circumspect here because over the years

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I've become very familiar with the liable laws of the

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>United States. So um, I'm I don't I don't think

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna give my personal view here. It's a story

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 1>about the opposite, a bad marriage, a worse breakup, a

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>brutal divorce. And he stormed out, and did he say

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>something like I told you you should never be marrying her.

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>This is probably the biggest story I'll ever work on.

0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>It's probably the biggest story in Dallassee ever I would say.

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 1>And everything that came after somebody I stucken knows something

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 1>because she would have not came out unless she paid

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>someone else. But there's no thing I have never said

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:18.160
<v Speaker 1>to anyone. And my mom is a dangerous person. Or

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>are you saying that you think maybe one of your

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 1>friends would have done some baby or guilty? You've got

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>his sins on your hand, baby crazy, I'm never touched

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>them from wondering. I'm Matthew Sharon and this is more

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 1>were my dead body. I've been a magazine writer for

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 1>about a decade now. During that time, I've written some

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 1>crazy stories. I've written about an orthodox rabbi who tortures

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 1>husbands and do granting divorces to their wives. And I've

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 1>written about some colorful characters too, like Stormy Daniel's attorney

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:20.039
<v Speaker 1>Michael Abanati, but I can say that this particular case

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.280
<v Speaker 1>is the single craziest story I've ever reported on. It

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 1>says at least as much about marriage and love as

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>it does about revenge and justice. And the lengths will

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.040
