If Wendi Adelson DIDN’T Know: Living Under the Shadow Donna Adelson & Murder

What if Wendi Adelson didn’t know? In this segment, the focus shifts to the other possibility — that Wendi was in the dark but still forced to live with the fallout of her family’s deadly choices. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains how trauma, survivor’s guilt, and family enmeshment can shape someone’s reactions even when they aren’t guilty themselves.

The discussion dives into the possibility that Wendi suspected her family was capable of terrible things but had no direct knowledge. How do you live when your deepest fears about your family might be true, but you can’t prove them? And what happens when the outcome — the relocation she wanted — comes true, but at the cost of a murder she didn’t ask for?

The segment also looks at the long-term toll of living under constant suspicion. Even if Wendi was innocent, every headline, every courtroom appearance, every whisper ties her closer to a murder conspiracy. The mental burden of that kind of scrutiny can warp anyone’s sense of safety and identity.

This “what if she didn’t know” scenario isn’t a free pass — it’s a different kind of prison. One built from trauma, fear, and the knowledge that she benefited from a horrific crime whether she wanted to or not.
