“I’d Like to Kill That MF” Charlie Adelson’s Chilling Repeated Threats

“I’d Like to Kill That MF” Charlie Adelson’s Chilling Repeated
Threats
In this gripping analysis from Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski,
Robin Dreeke, and Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels, examine one of
the most damning sections of Jeffrey Lacasse’s
interrogation—the part where Charlie Adelson’s casual
threats, reckless talk, and family dynamics intersect with
murder-for-hire reality.

According to Lacasse, Charlie Adelson wasn’t shy about voicing
his hatred for Dan Markel. These weren’t offhand grumbles; they
were repeated, venomous statements—“I’d like to
kill that motherf***er”—said so often they stuck in Lacasse’s
memory. Unlike normal venting, Charlie went further,
asking how much it would cost. That step from
emotional ranting into cost-benefit analysis marked a chilling
escalation.

The panel dissects why this behavior fit a pattern: Charlie’s
lack of impulse control, a trait he likely
inherited from Donna Adelson, combined with years of unchecked
arrogance. In his safe family bubble, he felt untouchable,
rehearsing bravado for immediate gratification with no thought of
repercussions. This impulsivity, coupled with Donna’s enmeshment
and Wendy’s complicity, set the stage for tragedy.

We also examine Charlie’s strange double life: a wealthy South
Florida dentist with a Ferrari, yet constantly surrounding
himself with “tough” gym buddies, ex-military acquaintances, and
shady characters. Was this insecurity, narcissistic posturing, or
a deliberate attempt to outsource the dirty work he lacked the
nerve to do himself?

Adding to the suspicion is Wendy’s sudden no-contact
email to Lacasse, allegedly at her therapist’s
direction, just days before Dan Markel was killed. Was this
standard breakup strategy, or part of an Adelson plot to frame
Lacasse as the “abusive male” and potential fall guy? The timing
is hard to ignore.

This episode also explores how family enmeshment and
narcissistic validation needs created a toxic system
where Charlie and Wendy were extensions of Donna’s will. The
Adelsons may have rationalized their plot as a crusade to
“protect the children,” but to outsiders, it was reckless and
criminal.

From hot tub bragging about hiding money to leaked threats
overheard by boyfriends, Charlie’s downfall was paved by his own
mouth. As Lacasse says, within 20 seconds of hearing
about Markel’s murder, he thought of Charlie. That
instinctive reaction speaks volumes.
