Welcome to another episode of Surviving The Survivor, the podcast that brings you the #BestGuests in all of True Crime…

Attorneys for Shanna Gardner continued to argue in court that she should be released on bond ahead of her trial in the murder-for-hire plot

Shanna Gardner is accused of plotting to kill her ex-husband, Jared Bridegan, with the help of her second husband Mario Fernandez and Henry Tenon.

Police say Tenon placed a tire on a Jacksonville street, causing Bridegan to stop with his young daughter in the car, before he fired several times at close range killing Bridegan.

Tenon has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of Jared Bridegan.

Prosecutors allege that Tenon was paid from a trust fund funded by Gardner’s parents. Judge London Kite has yet to rule on whether to grant Gardner’s latest request for bond. She’s due back in court Sept. 23 for another hearing.

Gardner and Fernandez Saldana face the death penalty

Welcome to another episode of Surviving The Survivor, the podcast that brings you the #BestGuests in all of True Crime…

Another Florida story eerily similar to Dan Markel and the Adelsons.

On the evening of Feb. 16, 2022, Jared Bridegan had just dropped off his 9-year-old twin son and daughter at his ex-wife's - Shanna Gardner’s -home in Jacksonville Beach and was headed back to St. Augustine where he lived.

With his 2-year-old daughter from a new wife in the car, he stopped because of a tire on the road near the exit.

In what police believe was a planned attack, he was shot multiple times as he apparently attempted to move the tire. His vehicle's hazard lights were still blinking with his daughter sitting in her car seat unharmed.

Today, ex-wife Shanna Gardner is back in a Jacksonville courtroom with a possible trial date to be set.
