Nicholas Kassotis's third wife testifies about an $850,000 house purchase that vanished in a suspicious car fire while Mindi's body decomposed. Donna Adelson, the 75-year-old grandmother accused of orchestrating son-in-law Dan Markel's murder, was arrested on a jetway fleeing to Vietnam after her son's conviction.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.279
Callaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Red Carter and welcome

2
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:15.320
to celebrity trials. And today we've got three trials that

3
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:19.399
prove reality is stranger than any screenplay Hollywood could write.

4
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:23.839
A Navy officer whose third wife just testified about an

5
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:27.280
eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars check that supposedly burned

6
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:30.480
in a car fire, a seventy five year old grandmother

7
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.320
about to face trial for orchestrating her ex son in

8
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.640
law's murder. And a fugitive rapist who faked his own

9
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:40.039
death fled to Scotland and now claims he's an Irish

10
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.119
orphan named Arthur Knight. You can't make this stuff up,

11
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.719
but apparently these defendants tried. Let's start with the latest

12
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:50.479
from the Nicholas Casotis dismemberment trial in Georgia, where wife

13
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.320
number three just took the stand and blew this case

14
00:00:53.359 --> 00:01:02.840
wide open. Remember Nicholas sodis the former Navy jag officer

15
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.599
on trial for cutting his wife Mindy into pieces and

16
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:09.799
scattering her remains across two Georgia counties. Yesterday we heard

17
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.079
from parents who were told their daughter died in a

18
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.719
hospital that didn't exist. Today, we heard from a woman

19
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.879
who almost became victim number three. Samantha Kolesnik took the

20
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.439
stand on day four. Let me tell you her story

21
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:27.480
because it's a masterclass in manipulation. September twenty twenty two.

22
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:32.079
Kolesnik is a horror fiction writer and yes, the irony

23
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.480
is not lost on me. She gets a Twitter message

24
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:39.079
from someone named Nicholas Stark. He says he's bought all

25
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.840
four of her books. He's an unpublished short fiction writer himself.

26
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:48.439
They start chatting online, casual at first literary discussions, writer

27
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.280
to writer. By November twenty twenty two, the same month,

28
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:57.680
prosecutor say Cassodis murdered Mindy, the relationship turns emotional, phone calls,

29
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:02.200
deep conversations, tells her he's a widower. His wife, an

30
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:05.840
unborn child, died two years ago from blood pressure complications

31
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:11.439
and an undiagnosed heart condition two years ago. Remember that timeline.

32
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:15.919
December sixteenth, twenty twenty two, two weeks after hunters found

33
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:20.400
Mindy's dismembered remains, Casotis meets Kollsnik in person for the

34
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:24.560
first time. He's supposedly traveling for work, some big merger

35
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.840
that requires him to bounce between Georgia, Missouri, and Delaware.

36
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.280
Here's where it gets interesting. When Kolesnik gets a flat

37
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.400
tire in November, Casotis immediately pays six hundred dollars for

38
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:40.080
four new tires and two headlight bulbs. When she expresses

39
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:43.159
concern about the expense, he apologizes, saying he's out of

40
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:47.159
practice after grieving for two years. Out of practice, this

41
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.960
man's actual wife is decomposing in the Georgia woods, and

42
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.520
he's telling another woman he's out of practice at dating

43
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:58.599
because he's been grieving for two years. By February twenty

44
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:03.400
twenty three, they're engaged. April twenty twenty three, they're married.

45
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.719
On the marriage application, Casodis writes his name as Stark

46
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:11.759
and claims his previous marriage ended December first, twenty twenty,

47
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.520
but prosecutors say Mindy died between November twenty seventh and

48
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.159
twenty ninth, twenty twenty two. But here's the part that

49
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:22.599
should have sent this woman running the house purchase. They

50
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.240
decide to buy a house together find a perfect place.

51
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.039
Casdis says he'll handle the finances, makes an offer. It's accepted.

52
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:35.520
Closing date March twentieth, twenty twenty three. The morning of closing,

53
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.319
Casodis leaves to get a check for eight hundred and

54
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:45.240
fifty thousand dollars cash purchase, no mortgage. He never comes back. Instead,

55
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:49.800
Kolesnik gets frantic text messages he's been in a car accident.

56
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.000
When she finally sees him, he looked a little burned,

57
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.199
half an eyebrow. She testified, he's admitted to the hospital

58
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.360
and the eight hundred fifty thousand dollars check earned in

59
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.879
the car fire gone poof eight hundred and fifty thousand

60
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:09.639
dollars up in smoke. The house purchase never happens because

61
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.240
there was no check, there was no money. There was

62
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:18.519
probably no car accident. This man murdered his wife, immediately

63
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:22.319
started dating someone new, married her, and then faked a

64
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.079
car accident to explain why he couldn't buy her a house.

65
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.399
It wasn't until GBI agent Tracy Sands contacted her that

66
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:34.079
Kolesnik learned the truth. Casotis had multiple wives. She wasn't

67
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.680
the second, she was at least the third. She immediately

68
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.480
cooperated with investigators and got an annulment based on fraud.

69
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:46.399
The jury also heard Castis's twenty twenty three police interview

70
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.600
after his arrest. In it, he spins this elaborate tale

71
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:54.519
about harassment, assaults, and mysterious figures controlling his life. He

72
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.639
claims his father attacked him with a bat. He says

73
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.439
they lived with Mindy's family for over a year. He

74
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.199
paints himself as the victim of some vast conspiracy, but

75
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:07.800
the evidence tells a different story. The shopping receipts for

76
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:12.399
knives and shovels, the Clorox wipes scattered around Mindy's remains,

77
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.839
the immediate pursuit of another woman while his wife's body

78
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:20.120
was still being identified. This isn't a victim. This is

79
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:24.120
a predator. Seven women and five men on that jury.

80
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.879
They're hearing all of this. If they don't convict, there's

81
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:41.839
no justice left in Georgia. Back in a moment, Welcome

82
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:46.439
back to celebrity trials. I'm reed, Carter. Now let's talk

83
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.240
about a different kind of family dysfunction, the kind where

84
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.120
grandma allegedly orchestrates a hit on her ex son in

85
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:54.839
law because she wants to see her grandkids more often.

86
00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:00.560
The matriarch of murder Donna Addelson, seventy five years old,

87
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:06.879
South Florida socialite grandmother, and, according to prosecutors, the mastermind

88
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.639
behind one of the most shocking murder for higher plots

89
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:15.199
in Florida history. Jury selection begins next Monday, August nineteenth,

90
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.560
in Tallahassee, the same courthouse where her son Charlie was

91
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:23.720
convicted last year, the same city she desperately wanted her

92
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:27.519
daughter to leave, the same place where Florida State University

93
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.439
law professor Dan Markell was shot twice in the head

94
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:38.360
in his own garage eleven years ago. Here's the family

95
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.759
tree of evil, as prosecutors see it. Dan Markelle was

96
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.839
in a bitter custody battle with his ex wife, Wendy Addleson.

97
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.839
Wendy wanted to move their three and four year old

98
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:51.360
sons to Miami to be closer to her family, specifically

99
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:55.079
her mother, Donna. The court said no, the boys had

100
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.160
to stay in Tallahassee, four hundred and fifty miles from Grandma.

101
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.959
So what has Grandma ly do? She gets her son

102
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:07.279
Charlie involved. Charlie, a wealthy periodontist, recruits his on again,

103
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:13.279
off again girlfriend, Catherine Magbanua. Magbanua knows some people. Specifically,

104
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.680
she knows Sigfredo Garcia and Luis Rivera Latin King's gang

105
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:24.279
members who need money. July eighteenth, twenty fourteen. Dan Marcel

106
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.319
pulls into his garage after dropping his kids at daycare.

107
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:31.240
Two shots to the head. One shatters his cheekbone, the

108
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.680
other lodges in his brain. He dies the next day.

109
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:40.319
For years, nothing happens. Then the dominoes start falling. Twenty sixteen.

110
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.319
Luis Rivera takes a plea deal nineteen years in exchange

111
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:49.959
for testimony. Twenty nineteen. Sigfredo Garcia convicted life in prison.

112
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:54.680
He was the trigger man. Twenty twenty two. Catherine Magbanua

113
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:59.480
convicted on retrial, life in prison. She was the middleman.

114
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:06.680
Twenty twenty three, Charlie Addelson convicted life without parole. He

115
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:12.160
was the moneyman. November thirteenth, twenty twenty three, one week

116
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:16.600
after Charlie's conviction, Donna Addlson is arrested, but not at home,

117
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.759
not at work, on the jetway at Miami International Airport,

118
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:24.079
about to board a flight to Vietnam one way ticket,

119
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:33.080
no extradition treaty with the US, according to prosecutors. After

120
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:36.639
Charlie's conviction, Donna had multiple phone calls with him, where

121
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:40.559
she talked about getting things in order, creating trusts, and

122
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:44.559
making sure her grandchildren are taken care of. She discussed suicide,

123
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:48.080
She discussed fleeing to a non extradition country, then she

124
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.039
bought those tickets. State attorney Jack Campbell told Court TV

125
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:55.039
they had to move up their timeline when we found

126
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:57.759
that she was leaving the country. Extradition would have been

127
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:01.320
an issue at her final pre tri While hearing last Thursday,

128
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.919
defense attorneys indicated Donna plans to testify in her own defense.

129
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:10.320
This should be interesting. What's she going to say that

130
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:13.799
she had no idea her son was hiring hitmen, that

131
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.120
she just happened to be fleeing the country a week

132
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.480
after his conviction that the one way ticket to Vietnam

133
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:23.440
was for a vacation. This is a family that ran

134
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:29.320
a successful dental practice, educated people, wealthy people, and allegedly

135
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:32.559
people who thought murder was an acceptable solution to a

136
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:37.879
custody dispute. Dan Markell's father Phil recently said, when I

137
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.360
say I've lost two grandchildren, at this moment, I feel

138
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:44.919
I've lost them. They've been Basically, I don't know what

139
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.879
they know about the situation. I don't know what they're

140
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:50.639
aware of I don't know how they feel about us.

141
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:55.279
Those boys are now thirteen and fourteen. Their father is dead,

142
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:58.440
their uncle is in prison for life, their grandmother is

143
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.159
about to go on trial for murder, and they haven't

144
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:04.919
seen their paternal grandparents in seven years, all because Donna

145
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:08.120
Adelson allegedly couldn't stand being four hundred and fifty miles

146
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:20.840
from her grandsons. Back in a moment. Now for the

147
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:25.399
most bizarre case of the day. Nicholas Rossi or Nicholas

148
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:29.759
Alaverdian or Arthur Knight, depends on when you ask him.

149
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:32.759
This guy is accused of raping two women in Utah

150
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:36.159
in two thousand and eight. When DNA finally identified him

151
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:39.159
as a suspect years later thanks to a backlog at

152
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:42.399
the crime lab, he did what any innocent person would do.

153
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:45.919
He faked his own death and fled to Scotland. In

154
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.440
twenty twenty, Rossi told media he had late stage non

155
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:53.519
Hodgkin lymphoma and weeks to live. An obituary was published

156
00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:57.840
online claiming he died February twenty ninth, twenty twenty. He

157
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:03.559
was supposedly cremated. Case closed right wrong December twenty twenty one,

158
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:08.440
a man is hospitalized in Scotland with COVID nineteen. Routine

159
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:11.759
fingerprinting reveals he's not who he claims to be. He's

160
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.559
Nicholas Rossi, fugitive from Utah, very much alive. But here's

161
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:21.360
where it gets absolutely insane. Rossi insists he's not Nicholas Rossi.

162
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.440
He's Arthur Knight, an Irish orphan who has never set

163
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:27.919
foot on American soil. He claims, and I'm not making

164
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.639
this up, that authorities took his fingerprints while he was

165
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.320
in a COVID coma and framed him. While he was

166
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.320
in a coma, they framed him by taking his fingerprints

167
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:42.200
in Scotland. He fought extradition for three years with this story.

168
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:45.919
Three years of claiming to be Arthur Knight, speaking in

169
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:49.720
what witnesses described as a terrible fake British accent, and

170
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:52.960
insisting this was all a case of mistaken identity. He

171
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:56.759
was finally extradited to Utah in twenty twenty four. His

172
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:01.200
trial starts soon, but last week, at an evidentiary hearing,

173
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.279
he took the stand and the story got even crazier,

174
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:08.679
speaking in a raspy voice, still maintaining the accent by

175
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:11.679
the way. Rossi now admits he changed his name to

176
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.480
Arthur Knight, but not because he's a fugitive. No. He

177
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:19.080
claims he received credible threats against his life due to

178
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.360
his previous work in child services. He says he had

179
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:25.559
to change his identity for safety. He also claims he

180
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:28.240
worked as a public information officer for a company called

181
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:32.759
Ico in the UK. He's married to someone named Miranda Knight,

182
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.519
which is where he got the surname, and he says

183
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.039
if he's released from jail, his life will still be

184
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:42.240
in danger. The prosecutor's response, then jail would be the

185
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:46.399
safest place for you. Judge Derreck Pullan wasn't buying any

186
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.240
of it. He cited Rossi's history of lying, including the

187
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:53.120
whole faking his death thing, and ordered him held on

188
00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:57.240
three hundred fifty thousand dollars bail. Rossie can't pay it,

189
00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:00.720
so he sits in Utah County jail, still claiming to

190
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.919
be an Irish orphan, still speaking in that fake accent,

191
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:07.759
still insisting he's been framed. The FBI says he also

192
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.080
faces fraud charges in Ohio, where he was convicted of

193
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.960
sex related charges in two thousand and eight. At one

194
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.600
point he was wanted in Rhode Island for failing to

195
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:21.240
register as a sex offender. This isn't some innocent Irish orphan.

196
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.120
This is a serial predator who thought he could fake

197
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.000
his death and disappear. Two trials coming up, two different

198
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.159
women saying he raped them in two thousand and eight,

199
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:35.080
and his defense is what that the real Nicholas Rossi

200
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:38.559
is dead and this is all mistaken identity, that American

201
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:41.559
authorities flew to Scotland during COVID to frame an Irish

202
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:45.080
orphan that his fingerprints were planted while he was unconscious.

203
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.200
This is what happens when criminals watch too many movies.

204
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:51.919
They think they can create new identities, fake their deaths,

205
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:55.519
flee to foreign countries, and somehow the truth won't catch up.

206
00:13:55.960 --> 00:14:00.000
But it always does. Ask Nicholas Rossi or Arthur Knight,

207
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:08.960
or whatever he's calling himself today. Three trials, three different

208
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:12.919
flavors of delusion. Nicholas Casotis thought he could murder his wife,

209
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.919
marry another woman, and explain away eight hundred fifty thousand

210
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.480
dollars with a fake car fire. The juries hearing, how

211
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.440
he bought knives and shovels. Scattered chlorox wipes around crime

212
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:27.919
scenes and was shopping for wife number three while wife

213
00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:32.440
number two was being eaten by insects. Donna Adelson allegedly

214
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:35.240
thought she could orchestrate her ex son in law's murder

215
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:38.200
and then fleet of Vietnam when her son got convicted

216
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:41.120
seventy five years old on a jetway with a one

217
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:44.159
way ticket, and she probably thought she'd gotten away with it.

218
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:49.080
Nicholas Rossy literally faked his own death, fled to Scotland,

219
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:52.720
claimed to be an Irish orphan, and insisted authorities framed

220
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:55.440
him while he was in a coma. He's still maintaining

221
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:59.440
the accent in a Utah jail where everyone knows exactly

222
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:05.039
who he is. What connects them narcissism, the absolute belief

223
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:07.840
that they're smarter than everyone else, that they can talk

224
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:10.879
their way out of anything. That lies become truth if

225
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:14.159
you just repeat them enough. But here's the thing about lies.

226
00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:18.000
They require maintenance. You have to remember what you told

227
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:21.159
to whom, You have to keep your timeline straight. You

228
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:25.120
have to have explanations for the explanations. Casotis couldn't keep

229
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:28.559
straight whether his wife died in October or November, whether

230
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.679
it was two years ago or two months ago. Donna

231
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:34.720
Addelson couldn't explain why she needed a one way ticket

232
00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:38.480
to Vietnam right after her son's conviction, and Nicholas Rossy

233
00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:41.360
he can't explain why an Irish orphan has the same

234
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.039
fingerprints as a convicted sex offender from Rhode Island. But today,

235
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:51.600
remember this. You can change your name, fake your death,

236
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.399
flee the country, or burn imaginary checks in imaginary car fires.

237
00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:01.639
But the truth, the truth doesn't burn, It just waits.

238
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.039
I'm read Carter, and this is celebrity trials. Check your

239
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:10.759
grandmother's travel plans, verify those eight hundred and fifty thousand

240
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:13.679
dollars checks. And if someone claims to be an Irish

241
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:17.879
orphan named Arthur Knight, maybe run their fingerprints. See you tomorrow,
