INTERVIEW: Ruth Markel, Author of "The Unveiling: A Mother's Reflection on Murder, Grief, and Trial Life"
About this episode
In 2014, Ruth Markel experienced just about the worst thing any mother can when she learned that her son Dan had been murdered. It would become even worse when she discovered that her in-laws had been involved in the murder-for-hire plot. Far from breaking under the grief, Ruth has become a tireless advocate for victims and their families. In 2022, the State of Florida passed the Markel Act enabling grandparents to petition courts for visitation rights in the case of a violent death.
