'20/20' Correspondent Ryan Smith Shares the Latest Details in a Case That Shocked Florida for More Than a Decade on Friday, Jan. 2, on ABC, Streams Next Day on Disney+ and Hulu

Dan Markel was a prominent Florida State University law professor. But in 2014, he was found gunned down in his Tallahassee home. As authorities begin investigating his murder, they identify someone close to home as the possible mastermind behind the killing: Donna Adelson, Dan's former mother-in-law.
