ABC News reports on the emerging details regarding the killing of Florida State law professor Dan Markel:
Investigators believe Markel knew his killer and may have literally opened his door to his own death.
“He was the intended target in this situation,” Tallahassee Police Department Officer David Northway said.
Police have released pixelated pictures of a silver Toyota Prius which they say was seen in the area on the day of the crime. A police tip line has netted 50 calls so far.
One potentially big clue is that there was no sign of forced entry into the house.
“There’s not enough information to suggest that this is a contract murder. It certainly could be,” said ABC News consultant Brad Garrett, a former FBI agent. “The most likely theory is that it it’s somebody that he knows.”
Markel was shot in the head at close range last Friday morning and died the following day. Police have questioned Markel’s wife, Wendi Jill Adelson, but she is not a suspect. There are no other suspects, at present.
