Dan Markel Summer, 2014. On a humid July morning in Tallahassee, University of Florida law professor Dan Markel pulls into the garage of his home after dropping his two children off at school. As he chats with a friend on his cell phone, he notices a car pull in behind him. After some muffled sounds, two gunshots are heard, then the line goes dead...and so does Dan Markel. Who would want to kill this popular and highly-regarded university professor? You are listening to MurderCast.
