New story with really interesting details, including WA's boyfriend telling police he thought she was involved in his murder: http://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/2016/07/31/documents-reveal-early-markel-investigation/87680046/

It is possible that Miguel (like a growing number of gay men who choose to have a lot of sexual partners) was on Prep, a prophylactic drug that inhibits HIV transmission).

I am not sure it is a conflict in the sense we normally think of that. A common reason to withdraw is that the attorney knows the client plans to testify falsely or submit a false statement in an affidavit. The conflict is that the attorney would be suborning perjury if she continued to...

Agreed. I am both a friend and a Facebook friend of Dan and when I looked at CA's Facebook profile Dan came up as a mutual friend. Tells you what friend can mean....

You are right it is gone now! Very strange. Wonder if it is in the cache on one's machine if you have seen it before and then it is gone when facebook refreshes?

Has anyone looked at the Facebook page Justice for Dan? I noticed as recently as May 26 WA had posted some replies in the comments. I am wondering if the page was set up to deflect attention from WA and her family as possible suspects? Several posts indicate that is unlikely, a lot of posts try...

TPD concerned the other potential suspects are a flight risk.... http://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/2016/06/03/tpd-concerned-other-markel-suspects-may-flee/85348108/

Anyone have any idea where WA's other sibling is? According to her brother's/dad's webpage for their dental practice, her dad refers to his 3 children. Wonder if that sibling, who I have not seen mentioned, is at all distant or estranged and what the significance of that might be. Possibly...

Sad to read this blog post by Dan 11 years ago in light of what we know today: http://prawfsblawg.blogs.com/prawfsblawg/2005/05/my_dispensabili.html

Ugh I hope law enforcement does not screw this case up: http://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/2016/06/02/confusion-over-unsealed-documents-markel-case/85291512/

Yes the get has no legal impact on civil divorces or civil remarriages it only impacts the ability to have a religious remarriage. Similar to many Catholics who get civil divorces but then also seek to have their marriage Annulled by the Catholic Church so that they can remarry.

So here are some things about the get in Judaism. Reformist Judaism does not require it but orthodox and conservative Judaism do. The couple was married in a reformist Judaism synagogue: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/26/fashion/weddings/26adel.html?_r=0...

ND2014, I too was friends with Dan in law school and kept in touch afterwards and did not know her. I had read a few references to local judicial corruption and certainly this killer's ability to avoid prison makes one suspicious, but my sense of Dan was that most of his research was much more...

New story -- attorney for the arrested suspect says his client maintains his innocence and will move to be released on bond -- wonder where the $$$ are coming from. Looks like they are not flipping this guy easily. Curious to know why the cocaine charges are being dropped...

I went to law school with Dan and knew him professionally after law school. Obviously I cannot know everything about what a person does in private but there was never a hint of that whatsoever.

Does it seem strange to anyone that law enforcement would tip its hand that 5-6 more arrests are forthcoming? It seems they would not want to telegraph that as the 5-6 people might flee, unless they are watching all of them and are observing how they behave in the wake of the arrest....

I thought this was interesting. If you look at the second post -- the one about the arrest -- the OP says that hopefully Dan's children will get some answers soon that will give them relief. In the comments, someone who is on the same faculty as Dan and his ex-wife were on indicates that he does...

His ex-wife has sent an email lauding investigators for their work in catching the culprit: http://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/2016/05/27/markels-ex-wife-lauds-investigators-arrest/85049444/

I am also an out gay man but I disagree that the progressive nature of the cities and schools he went to or even their history as a couple carry as much weight as you do. I did not come out until age 32 (I am now in my mid 40s) and I lived in lots of liberal cities and went to schools with very...

Thanks for the welcome dotr. I have been following the case since its inception. I went to law school with Dan and knew him professionally after law school. It is such a tragic case and so distressing to see that the case has seemingly gone cold.
