[0101ABA]

Florida State University professor Dan Markel was found in his Tallahassee, Florida, home on Friday. Police say there were no signs of robbery or burglary and have yet to disclose any motive.
According to Tallahassee police, officers found Markel after a neighbor called 911 at about 11 a.m. with reports of a "loud bang."

Markel, 41, was rushed to a local hospital, where he died the following day. "While we cannot release specific information or details regarding this case, the Violent Crimes Unit is releasing that Mr. Markel's cause of death was a fatal gunshot wound to the head," Tallahassee Police Chief Michael DeLeo said in a statement.
By Monday, police had categorized the case as a homicide, and according to Tallahassee Police Department spokesman David Northway, Markel was the intended target.

@amicuscurie -Yes I remember her saying that and the call log doesn't reflect that she spoke to him or texted him that morning.
I thought she may have made it up, and I don’t remember him looking at her phone to confirm it.

It is fascinating to me how many people believe the myth of the hit man. I really wonder what made the Adelsons believe they could pull this off.

What myth, I missed it......

There was a movie recently about that. Apparently most “hit men” people hire are actually undercover cops. Apparently from what I understand, real “hit men” don’t exist.

ty, I've followed many murder cases where the hit was made by a derelict in need of money and had no qualms about killing for money. Maybe some that are asked are LE but there are still plenty of others out there willing to do the job. JMOO

Plenty of desperate people out there.

Oh "hitmen" exist. Just have to read the international news. ..." the trial exposed the covert world of Mr. Le Roux’s band of guns-for-hire, who, he testified, were kept on retainer for as much as $10,000 a month — plus expenses for food, fuel and travel. Mr. Le Roux admitted that he paid his men an extra $25,000 for “bonus work,” which he described as “acts of killing and any other acts of violence.”

No desperation needed....just greed and lack of humanity.

There is another case I read, also ex-military/soldier of fortune types who also were just caught. (in USA) Life is precious...
these dumbos could have gotten good paying jobs being guards for movie stars or some such. Why do they always think they won't be caught or have their employers/accomplices turn on them??

Indeed, if you go this route the hitman you typically end up with does turn out to be a Luis Rivera or Sigfredo Garcia -- not Léon: The Professional. The Adelsons were truly bozos to think that it was a good idea to let Katie Magbanua arrange for the murder of Dr. Markel.
