On the morning of July 18, 2014, Dan Markel, a well-loved law professor at Florida State University and a father of two young children, returned home and was confronted by an unidentified attacker who shot him twice in the head at close range. The crime scene did not yield immediate clues about the perpetrators, except for one lead – a vague description from a neighbor who witnessed a speeding Prius leaving Dan’s driveway. Detectives faced a challenging investigation, but with the assistance of the FBI and a series of interviews, they were able to reconstruct the Prius’s movements by analyzing surveillance footage and toll booth records. This ultimately led to the capture of the hired hitmen responsible for Dan’s tragic death. However, a crucial question remained unanswered: Who had orchestrated this murder-for-hire plot?
