Alex Murdaugh walked into a Lexington courtroom on August 14 wearing a dark blue suit and striped tie. It was the first time he appeared in civilian clothes since being sentenced for stealing twelve million dollars in November 2023. Judge McCaslin had ordered the change days earlier, ruling that showing a defendant in prison clothes and shackles for convictions not before her court risks prejudicing potential jurors. Murdaugh has pleaded not guilty to the murders of his wife Maggie and their son Paul.His defense team then won on nearly every front. McCaslin granted a venue change out of the 14th Judicial Circuit, where the Murdaugh family's ancestors served as chief prosecutors for most of the last century. She allowed independent testing of unknown male DNA found under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails and placed conditions on how prosecutors can use Murdaugh's sworn testimony from 2023, limiting it to testimony about the killings.McCaslin personally assumed control of jury selection after Dick Harpootlian raised concerns about when former clerk Becky Hill's interference with the original jury started. Hill pleaded guilty to perjury and obstruction after the South Carolina Supreme Court overturned Murdaugh's conviction.Near the end of the hearing, the defense claimed weapons from a recent Allendale County homicide may be connected to the Murdaugh murder case. Lead prosecutor Creighton Waters said he had never heard of it. A motion to throw out the murder indictments over alleged evidence fabrication by SLED's lead case agent is still pending. Next hearing: November 14. Retrial: April 5, 2027.Links:Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Michael Vulfovich, an ER physician called as an expert witness for the defense, took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Vulfovich testified that after reviewing Clancy's medical records, her injuries were consistent with a suicide attempt — not staged, not ambiguous, just consistent with someone who went out a second-story window intending not to come back. He also walked jurors through how bad it got afterward: at one point during treatment, Clancy coded and needed a blood transfusion just to stay alive. That's not a detail the defense needed to embellish. The medical record did the work.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window after the killings, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick Clancy sat on the witness stand at Plymouth Superior Court and described finding the bodies of his three children. He testified for two days. Both the prosecution and defense questioned him. Neither accused him of anything. Both treated him as a father who lost everything.On TikTok, millions of people believe he orchestrated the entire thing. The evidence they cite is a pair of boots.Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. She admits she killed them. Her attorney Kevin Reddington admits it. The trial is not about who killed those children. It is about whether Lindsay was criminally responsible.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries was in the courtroom for Patrick's testimony and has been present throughout the trial. He examines what the evidence actually proves about Patrick Clancy, why the conspiracy persists despite unanimous agreement in the courtroom, and whether a jury in 2026 can remain sealed off from the theories flooding their social media feeds.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy's own mother took the stand this week, and what she admitted under oath is going to sit with people. Paula Musgrove told the court that back in early-to-mid December 2022 — weeks before three-year-old Dawson, five-year-old Cora, and seven-month-old Callan were allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Duxbury home — Lindsay told her, and told Patrick, that she was having thoughts of harming her children. That's not a vague warning sign in hindsight. That's Lindsay Clancy, by her mother's own account, saying the words out loud.And here's the part that's going to generate debate: Musgrove testified she never tried to get Lindsay committed, and never called 911. Not once. Instead, the prosecution walked the jury through a string of text messages between mother and daughter — check-ins about sleep, about mood, about how Lindsay was holding up day to day. Musgrove said on the stand that she kept those messages encouraging on purpose. She didn't raise the red flags she was seeing because she didn't want to pile more weight onto a daughter already buckling under it.Clancy, 34, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty. Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication — and testimony like this, showing warning signs the people closest to her chose not to escalate, is exactly the kind of thing both sides will spin in opposite directions. After the killings, Clancy allegedly jumped from a second-story window in an attempted suicide; she's now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

Lindsay Clancy messaged her psychiatric nurse practitioner in early December 2022 and said she "really needs help," would "try anything," and was having "intrusive thoughts I never had before." The NP, Rebecca Jollotta, testified at trial that she told Lindsay those symptoms were "quite common" in women with postpartum depression and anxiety. She adjusted the medication. Lindsay's condition kept deteriorating. Her journal entries, read aloud in Plymouth Superior Court, show a woman whose guilt over breastfeeding and sleep training had become consuming, whose brain fog left her unable to plan past the next nap time, and who wrote the words "I want to die" to her husband. She'd been prescribed thirteen medications across four months by five providers. A Rhode Island hospital allegedly turned her away, saying she'd been overmedicated. Days before January 24, 2023, she searched online for whether she was a psychopath. Patrick Clancy testified his wife was having "one of her best days" on the day prosecutors say three children died. Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty. Her defense alleges undiagnosed postpartum psychosis.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, had her defense's turn on the stand today. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Three women who knew her best took the stand. Margaret Hamp, a labor and delivery nurse who worked alongside Clancy, described her as empathetic, caring, the kind of coworker who asked for parenting tips. Hamp also recalled an anxiety episode — Clancy watching a baby monitor, Cora crying, Patrick not picking up, and Clancy calling police for a wellness check because she couldn't reach him. Then Clancy's sister, Allison Ozga, testified that Lindsay changed dramatically around Thanksgiving — deepening depression, suicidal thoughts. On cross, prosecutors got Ozga to admit that as a mandated reporter, she never once felt Clancy was a danger to herself or the kids. Finally, Clancy's mother, Paula Musgrove, painted the fuller picture: a daughter who was scared, sleepless, afraid to drive, afraid to be alone — and who told both her and Patrick that she'd had thoughts of harming the children.That last detail is the one the defense needs jurors to sit with, and the one prosecutors will spend the rest of the trial trying to reframe. Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window after the killings and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is standing trial on three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation after prosecutors allege she killed her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty. Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense, arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Today the jury didn't hear from a witness who was in the house. They heard from her phone.Digital evidence examiner Ian Whiffin walked the court through what he pulled from Clancy's iPhone and Apple Watch — tools he built himself, because apparently off-the-shelf software doesn't cut it when a device update can quietly change what's recoverable. The data shows her heart rate swinging between 50 and 122 beats per minute on the day her children died, before the devices stopped logging her vitals at 5:23 p.m. Prosecutors also walked him through "flight climb" data — recorded on both devices with mismatched timestamps — and search history that included postpartum psychosis symptoms and depression medications.On cross, Whiffin conceded Apple Health isn't gospel — it misfires sometimes — and confirmed the trail goes dark after 5:38 p.m. Reddington then zeroed in on something harder to explain: device activity logged for January 25th, while Clancy was unconscious in a hospital bed. Whiffin's answer, on redirect, was procedural — the phone syncs with the watch, he can't pull data from the watch directly, and if police handled either device, the phone would record that too.After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands when it happened and has since relocated to Manhattan.

Lindsay Clancy's father sat in the gallery at Plymouth Superior Court and watched the medical examiner begin testimony about his granddaughter's autopsy. He started crying. His daughter was sobbing at the defense table, telling the room she couldn't do it.

He walks through what the jury is seeing that the livestream cannot capture — the reactions, the body language, and what Lindsay Clancy actually looks like after twenty-one days in that chair. He also examines whether jurors can follow the judge's instruction to set their emotions aside after seeing those photographs.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy's treatment plan barely moved after a nurse practitioner flagged bipolar disorder in 2022 — and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains why that matters, while defense attorney Eric Faddis tackles an entirely different fight brewing online. Lindsay has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder after the deaths of five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan. Her defense concedes she killed them and argues postpartum illness left her not criminally responsible. Prosecutors argue she knew what she was doing. Months before the killings, nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta told Lindsay and her husband she might have bipolar disorder, based partly on a forty-eight-hour stretch without sleep after starting an antidepressant. She added an antipsychotic used for bipolar disorder and insomnia, but the antidepressant kept going. Dr. Jennifer Tufts testified she considered bipolar disorder that December and ruled it out for lack of mania — euphoria, high energy, grandiosity. McLean Hospital staff discussed sleep loss tipping someone hypomanic before discharging Lindsay with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder. Shavaun walks through how long a bipolar diagnosis typically takes to land, why depression gets diagnosed first almost every time, and whether the standard clinical checklist was ever built with a mother of three small children in mind. From there, Faddis shifts to Patrick Clancy, who's now being accused on TikTok of murdering his own children — compared to Chris Watts, blamed for pushing Lindsay from a window — despite Lindsay's own defense team conceding in open court that she did it. Faddis explains what legal options actually exist against creators reaching millions of people, and why "theory" framing doesn't always hold up. LINKS, DISCLAIMER & HASHTAGS Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Henry Tenon confessed to killing Jared Bridegan, took a plea deal, and agreed to testify against the two people prosecutors say hired him. Then, four years and one day after the shooting, he stood in front of a judge and asked for a trial instead — and prosecutors let him. That reversal opened the Bridegan murder-for-hire trial in Jacksonville, a case already missing pieces prosecutors haven't explained. A grand jury charged Mario Fernandez on four counts, one of them tied directly to the fact that Bridegan's two-year-old daughter was in the car when he was shot. Prosecutors dropped that count two weeks before jury selection and gave the court no reason. Bank records tell their own story. Tenon had 52 cents to his name in January 2022. Within weeks of the killing, $10,000 in checks from a rental company owned by Fernandez and Shanna Gardner landed in his account — memo lines reading "landscaping and cleaning" and "keeping up with the roof." A later $5,000 check allegedly carried the memo "Kickstarter" and "Good luck!" Fernandez's defense says the payments covered real property work and that nothing was paid before Bridegan died. Prosecutors point to more than three dozen calls between Fernandez and Tenon during the month of the shooting, an unidentified second person who drove away from the scene in a pickup truck, and a jailhouse informant who claims Fernandez described the conspiracy from behind bars and tried to pin it on Jared's widow, Kirsten. Fernandez has pleaded not guilty. His trial runs August 17 through 28. Gardner's trial follows, and Tenon now waits for a March 2027 date of his own. LINKS, DISCLAIMER & HASHTAGS Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Fourteen telehealth appointments. Not one of them in person. Lindsay Clancy's psychiatrist treated her for months without ever sitting in the same room as her — and defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to explain why that detail became one of the more damaging moments of the trial so far. Dr. Jennifer Tufts told the jury Lindsay showed no signs of psychosis. Under cross-examination from Kevin Reddington, she acknowledged she didn't have Lindsay's complete medical record, didn't know about two prior calls Lindsay made to a suicide hotline, and had become board-certified the same day Lindsay's intake paperwork was filled out. Faddis breaks down why the prosecution called her at all, and how that testimony was received once Reddington finished with her on the stand. Faddis unpacks what the prosecution needs from a witness like this — proof that Lindsay understood what she was doing — and how three hours of cross-examination complicated that. The state is also leaning on what Lindsay did the morning her children died: sending her husband out, timing the errand, and a phrase she typed into her phone that prosecutors consider central to their case. Meanwhile, the defense has spent weeks documenting thirteen psychiatric medications, near-daily messages begging providers for changes, and journal entries describing intrusive thoughts and brain fog. No provider diagnosed postpartum psychosis before that day — the diagnosis came afterward, from a forensic psychiatrist the defense brought in. Faddis lays out where each side stands and what Massachusetts prosecutors still have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. The providers who treated Lindsay before her children died are turning out to be as central to this trial as anything said in the courtroom since. LINKS, DISCLAIMER & HASHTAGS Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A psychiatrist signed off on Lindsay Clancy's release from McLean Hospital. On cross-examination, she was asked a simple question — how many cases like this had she actually seen. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to unpack what that answer means for a case built on whether Clancy's illness was real enough to excuse what happened. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder after her children died at home in Duxbury in January 2023. Neither side disputes that she caused their deaths. Her defense argues postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder left her not criminally responsible. Prosecutors argue she knew exactly what she was doing. Shavaun, a licensed psychotherapist with more than thirty years in trauma and the psychology of violence, walks through what postpartum psychosis looks like from the inside — the difference between an intrusive thought and a command voice, and why a person can seem composed while still being seriously ill. Research estimates the condition affects roughly one or two births per thousand, usually surfacing within weeks of delivery. Then the episode turns to Clancy's outpatient psychiatrist, who treated her by video through fourteen appointments in the months before the killings. Those sessions were scheduled for thirty minutes. What actually happened inside them is a separate question — one Clancy's own civil suit answers differently than her provider's records do. Shavaun also addresses something easy to miss: Clancy spent her career as a labor and delivery nurse, which may have shaped how seriously her own reports were taken by the people responsible for her care. Clancy attempted suicide the same day her children died and now appears at trial in a wheelchair. What her providers did — and didn't — do in the weeks before is now part of the record a jury has to weigh. LINKS, DISCLAIMER & HASHTAGS Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For about eighteen months, Alex Murdaugh told investigators he was never at the kennels the night Maggie and Paul were killed. He later admitted, under oath, that wasn't true. Prosecutors now want a brand new jury to hear that admission directly from his own 2023 testimony. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke break down what the state's filing is actually asking for. Alongside the testimony, prosecutors are renewing two pretrial wins from the first trial: keeping third-party guilt evidence from the jury, and barring any mention of a polygraph, a rule that matters because Murdaugh's own attorneys once told a court Curtis Eddie Smith failed one when asked about the murders. Prosecutors are also seeking a fresh review of digital evidence and fighting the defense's request for independent DNA testing. The defense has its own move on the table. A supplemental Brady and Giglio motion demands prosecutors search again for favorable evidence and witness credibility material generated since the first trial, and certify in writing within thirty days that the search was thorough. Ten categories are listed, from plea deals to personnel files to testing methodology, and the motion names no specific witness or missing document. A sanctions motion from the first trial remains unresolved, and prosecutors haven't responded. Judge Debra McCaslin has tentatively set the retrial for April 5, 2027. Alex Murdaugh is presumed innocent, has denied the killings since 2021, and remains imprisoned on unrelated financial crimes. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Sejal Shah took the stand as a prosecution witness in the Lindsay Clancy trial, evaluated Clancy days after her children died, and then said something on cross-examination that cuts straight into the defense's argument. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke break down what Shah conceded, and why it matters. Shah agreed that a person can communicate and make plans while in a state of psychosis, and described Clancy as an honest patient. That admission lands alongside testimony from two other doctors who treated Clancy directly. Dr. Jennifer Tufts and Dr. Alia Goodheart both testified they observed no signs of psychosis and both said they never knew Clancy had called a crisis line twice, calls documented in Clancy's own civil filings. Goodheart also acknowledged she doesn't believe she's ever treated a patient with postpartum psychosis and couldn't say how many postpartum depression patients she'd seen in twenty years of practice. The episode also covers Day 10 of the trial, when defense attorney Kevin Reddington cross-examined Tufts for hours. He established that all fourteen of her appointments with Clancy happened over video, that she never asked Clancy to sign a release for records from a separate clinic, and that she hadn't read a 2021 study linking thyroid function to postpartum psychosis. The prosecution's cross drew out that Clancy booked her own appointments and drove herself to an emergency room. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder. Dreeke weighs what all of this adds up to.

Buried inside Patrick Clancy's wrongful death lawsuit is a detail that reframes the entire medical timeline: a routine lab test that would have shown whether Lindsay's body was actually processing the psychiatric medications she'd been prescribed was never ordered. Tony Brueski opens the filing and walks through what it alleges, and how it lines up against eight days of criminal trial testimony already on the record. The civil suit, filed in January 2026, claims providers misprescribed a stack of powerful medications and layered on new drugs without a coordinated plan. The filings count nine medications in Lindsay's final months, eight of them inside the last three weeks, while her criminal defense counts thirteen. Her final psychiatric appointment landed on January 23, 2023, the day before Cora, Dawson, and Callan died. The complaint states that with adequate care, it's more likely than not the children would still be alive, the direct opposite of what prosecutors are arguing across the county line in Plymouth Superior Court. Meanwhile in the criminal trial, prosecution witnesses, including friends, the nanny, and Patrick's own family, keep telling the jury what a devoted mother Lindsay was. Tony answers listener questions on the takeout order and errand splitting the audience, the pill bottles prosecutors emptied out to argue she skipped her medication, the psychiatric hospital that sent her home nineteen days before her children died, and the sobbing that stopped testimony during the medical examiner's account. Two courtrooms, two versions of the same family's catastrophe, and a lab test that was never run standing in the middle of both. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

David Owen led the SLED investigation that put Alex Murdaugh behind bars. Years earlier he led another murder investigation that a judge later threw out entirely, and on the stand in that case, Owen denied something a grieving mother says she told him directly. Tony Brueski lays out what that denial was and why it's surfacing again now. In June 2025, a South Carolina judge quashed the indictment in State v. Colucci after ruling the state sat on favorable evidence for nearly a decade. The victim's mother testified she told Owen in 2015 that her daughter had spoken about ending her own life, testimony directly relevant to the case and something Owen said under oath never happened. That history now sits at the center of a Brady motion Murdaugh's defense filed on August 5, 2026, demanding prosecutors search every file, agency, and personnel record tied to the case and confirm in writing that nothing favorable to Murdaugh remains hidden. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer weighs whether the motion is a fishing expedition or something this investigation has genuinely earned. She also addresses agent Ryan Kelly, who told Murdaugh's jury nothing connected alternate suspect Eddie Smith to the murders and was fired from an unrelated Charleston County job in June 2026. The episode also covers the physical evidence fight over the shirt Murdaugh wore the night Maggie and Paul were killed, tested negative for blood and then rendered permanently untestable, and the recent dismissal of Murdaugh's lawsuit against Becky Hill, the clerk whose jury tampering overturned his original convictions. Judge Debra McCaslin hears arguments on the motion August 14, 2026. Murdaugh is presumed innocent ahead of his 2027 retrial. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy's own defense attorney stood up in Plymouth Superior Court and said something about Patrick Clancy's remarriage that cuts directly against the theory that he's secretly guilty. Tony Brueski breaks down what actually got said, and why it matters. The backdrop: online accounts pulling hundreds of thousands of views are working through a full list of claims against Patrick — that he drugged his wife for months, that he held the restraints, that he staged the bedroom window, that the locked door was his doing, and that the remarriage itself is proof of motive. Tony takes the list item by item against courtroom testimony, including NMS Laboratories toxicologist Justin Brower's account of four medications found in Lindsay's blood and the direction an interior bedroom lock actually operates. Retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke joins to unpack why an internet crowd defaults to suspecting the husband almost on instinct, regardless of what the paper trail shows, and what would genuinely change their minds. His answer is more interesting than a simple 'nothing ever will.' Patrick's timeline is backed by CVS surveillance footage and phone records. The Plymouth County District Attorney has charged one person. State Police investigated and arrived at the same name. Nobody with subpoena power has pointed at Patrick. Three of the providers who treated Lindsay have now testified, and civil filings name all three as defendants — the same lawsuit some corners of the internet are calling a cover story. This episode pulls both threads together: the behavioral science of why the theory took hold, and the specific claims driving it, checked line by line against what witnesses actually said under oath. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Search teams have gone back into the brush behind Nancy Guthrie's own home since the monsoons passed through Tucson, and Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke dig into what that choice might actually mean six months into this investigation. It comes alongside a financial trail that doesn't line up with what the public has been told. The ransom demand was four million dollars in Bitcoin. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer's trace shows the only funds that ever reached the alleged kidnapper's wallet were roughly three hundred dollars, sent by the FBI itself on February 10, and never touched since. No ransom was ever paid, which sits directly against Savannah Guthrie's own statement that the family did their part. Messages written straight to that wallet include the exact words Savannah said on camera, meaning a direct line to whoever holds it has existed the whole time and gone unanswered. Then there are the two ransom notes, released by Pima County on July 31. One opens with 'Hello Savannah,' demands four million, and knows details only someone inside the house would know, including a white smart watch on the floor and a destroyed flood light. The other asks for nothing, claims Nancy died shortly after she was taken, and says she's buried in nature. Dreeke and Coffindaffer both question whether one writer produced both. Sheriff Nanos calls his relationship with the FBI great while thousands of hours of video remain unreviewed. This episode traces the money, the messages, and now the renewed search, all at once. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Mario Fernandez's defense team in the Jared Bridegan murder case has been winning before the trial started — charges dropped, death penalty gone, a key witness blocked from the stand, and the state's cooperating gunman withdrawing his plea deal entirely. Then prosecutors pulled the financial records.Three handwritten checks from Fernandez's company to the alleged triggerman Henry Tenon total $10,000 and arrived after the murder. Two were issued on the same day in March 2022. The third, dated April 4, allegedly carried the memo "Kickstarter" and "Good luck!" on a $5,000 payment written seven weeks after Bridegan was ambushed on Sanctuary Boulevard.Fernandez's attorneys say those checks paid for landscaping and roof repairs on a rental property and that no money changed hands before the crime. Phone records showing 35 calls between Fernandez and Tenon in February 2022, 30 in March, and continued contact into June form another pillar of the state's case. At a late-July hearing, prosecutor Alan Mizrahi disclosed that two people left the crime scene the night Bridegan was killed. One fled on foot, one drove a pickup truck. Tenon's DNA was on the tire. He was not driving.A fellow inmate also alleges Fernandez described the conspiracy from inside the Duval County jail, identified his own role, named Gardner as the planner, and asked for help framing Kirsten Bridegan through letters mailed to reporters and law enforcement after release.Fernandez has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and solicitation. Jury selection began August 10 and trial is set to begin August 17. Gardner's trial follows at month's end. Tenon faces his own trial in March 2027.END_LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution in the Lindsay Clancy trial set out to prove she was sane and acted deliberately. Three weeks in, its own witnesses have told the jury she was a wonderful mother who was deteriorating while the medical system watched. Patrick Clancy described a Seroquel spiral. The nanny saw a devoted parent. The psychiatrist admitted she never met Lindsay in person.The defense conceded Lindsay killed her children and is arguing she was consumed by postpartum psychosis. Kevin Reddington has used the prosecution's witnesses to build his own case — exposing telehealth-only treatment, incomplete records, and a prescribing pattern he's called horrific. He told the jury Lindsay heard voices. The psychosis diagnosis didn't come until after the crime.And on TikTok, creators are accusing Patrick Clancy of being the real killer. They're comparing him to Chris Watts and scrutinizing his remarriage while both sides in the courtroom agree Lindsay did it.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis covers all three angles — the prosecution's problems, the defense's strategy and risks, and the legal question of what Patrick can do about conspiracy theories targeting him during the trial.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rob and Michele Reiner spent years trying to help the son who prosecutors now allege planned their murders. Nick Reiner co-wrote a film with his father about his own addiction struggles. His parents paid for treatment at a seventy-thousand-dollar-a-month facility. They kept him on their property in a guest house in Brentwood. A grand jury indictment unsealed on August 12 alleges he repaid all of it by concealing his purpose, waiting for his opportunity, and attacking them inside their bedroom. The lying-in-wait allegation is new — it was not part of the original charges filed in December 2025. It's a second special circumstance under California law, and it carries a specific legal standard: prosecutors must prove concealment, surveillance, surprise, and intent to kill. Nick had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder years before the killings. In 2020, a court placed him under a conservatorship for grave disability. His medication was reportedly changed in the weeks before December 14, and sources said the switch made him more erratic. The grand jury returned the indictment on July 20, and it sat sealed for over three weeks. It replaces the original case and sends the prosecution straight to pretrial, which is scheduled for September 15. The preliminary hearing Nick's defense had been expecting is now off the table. Tony walks through the full indictment, what it alleges about the night of December 13 and the early hours of December 14, and what prosecutors just committed to proving against a defendant whose own medical record may be his strongest defense. Nick Reiner denied the charges and remains in custody on no bail.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick Clancy lost three children on January 24, 2023. Now TikTok creators are accusing him of killing them. They're comparing him to Chris Watts. They're posting theories that Lindsay didn't jump from the window — he pushed her. They're dissecting his remarriage and his testimony for signs of guilt.Lindsay Clancy's own defense team has told the jury she killed the children. The defense isn't arguing innocence — it's arguing she was not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis. The conspiracy theories on social media contradict the position of both the prosecution and the defense.The scrutiny has intensified during the trial. Newsweek published an analysis of the "TikTok jury" phenomenon forming around this case. The Boston Globe ran an opinion piece calling the social media coverage an indictment of public discourse. Creators are examining Patrick's remarriage to Dr. Rachel Danis, comparing his new wife to Lindsay, and framing the speed of his remarriage as suspicious.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down whether Patrick Clancy has legal options against creators who are accusing him of murder online. The difference between a protected opinion and an actionable defamation claim. Whether Patrick qualifies as a public or private figure. What the Alex Jones and Sandy Hook precedent established. And the practical reality of pursuing lawsuits against creators who are anonymous, scattered across multiple states, and unlikely to have assets worth collecting.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution had 180,000 pages of data extracted from Lindsay Clancy's iPhone. On Day 13 at Plymouth Superior Court, they chose to present one Google search to the jury: "Can you treat a sociopath?" from January 20, 2023.Defense attorney Kevin Reddington's cross-examination revealed what else the phone's browser history contained. Four weeks of searches, date by date: bipolar disorder, McLean Hospital, Trazodone, Zoloft, insomnia, schizophrenia, Wellbutrin, Lamictal, benzodiazepine withdrawal, Ativan, psychosis. On January 23, the day before the killings — intrusive thoughts and hallucinations. Every medication Lindsay had been prescribed appeared in her search history.The prosecution also flagged photos of the Clancy children as "modified" on the evening of January 23. Reddington established on cross that the modification was a standard iPhone function — converting a live burst photo to a single image. The forensic analyst confirmed he didn't know there were framed photos of the children throughout the Clancy home.Prosecutors presented a Surface Pro laptop visit to a website about methods of ending one's life from August 2022. Reddington traced the browsing chain to a Spotify music search and a Wikipedia hyperlink. The examiner couldn't confirm who was using the computer. A cellphone note modified the night before the killings described a woman who wanted a fourth child and was terrified of messing up her kids. Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty and contends she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time. Prosecutors allege she planned the killings deliberately.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

"This is your last chance." That's what the defense says Lindsay Clancy heard on January 24, 2023 — voices telling her to act. She had been on thirteen psychiatric medications. She had been messaging her providers almost daily begging to change them. Her journal described intrusive thoughts, insomnia, and a desperation that built for months.No clinician diagnosed postpartum psychosis before that night. Every provider documented anxiety and depression. The psychosis diagnosis came after, from a forensic psychiatrist retained by the defense.Kevin Reddington's case doesn't dispute that Lindsay killed her children. It argues she was incapable of understanding what she was doing. He's spent three weeks dismantling the providers who treated her — exposing telehealth-only sessions, incomplete records, missed warning signs, and a prescribing pattern he's called "horrific." The judge barred him from calling other mothers who've experienced postpartum psychosis. He's now fighting to add a former McLean Hospital employee to the witness list through a TikTok video.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down whether the defense's strategy is working, where its risks are, and what happens when a case built on a diagnosis that didn't exist until after the crime reaches a jury that has to look at three dead children and decide whether their mother was too sick to be punished.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Fourteen appointments. Every one by telehealth. Lindsay Clancy's psychiatrist, Dr. Jennifer Tufts, told the jury she never saw signs of psychosis and that Lindsay denied wanting to hurt herself or anyone else. Then the defense got three hours to cross-examine her.Tufts admitted she didn't have Lindsay's complete medical record. She never requested hospital records. She didn't use the Edinburgh scale. She had no idea Lindsay had called a suicide hotline twice. She got her board certification the same day Lindsay filled out intake forms.The prosecution put Tufts on the stand to prove Lindsay was mentally sound. The cross-examination turned that testimony into an argument about a system that treated a deteriorating mother through a screen.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down where the prosecution's case stands three weeks into the Lindsay Clancy trial. The state argues Lindsay sent Patrick out for takeout, timed the errand, and searched "ways to kill" before her children died. But the prosecution's own witnesses — the nanny, the pediatrician, the ex-husband — have told the jury she was a wonderful mother who couldn't get help. In Massachusetts, the state carries the burden of proving she was criminally responsible. The question is whether the prosecution's witnesses have been proving the opposite.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Henry Tenon had a deal. Plead guilty to second-degree murder, testify truthfully against Shanna Gardner and Mario Fernandez Saldana, and face a sentencing range that started at 15 years. He signed it in March 2023. He walked away from it in February 2026 and is now charged with first-degree murder.Four years on, Tenon has never been sentenced for anything.Jared Bridegan was a 33-year-old Microsoft employee and a father of four. He was killed on a Jacksonville Beach street on February 16, 2022, minutes after dropping his twins at his ex-wife's house. A tire had been placed in the road to make him stop. His 2-year-old was behind him in a car seat.We walk the bank records: 52 cents in Tenon's account in January 2022, three checks totaling $10,000 from a company owned by Fernandez and Gardner in the weeks after, and a detective's testimony that the promised figure was $150,000, structured as an investment in a pallet business. Defense attorneys say the checks paid for landscaping and roof work.Mario Fernandez Saldana's jury was picked in August. Shanna Gardner's follows days after his verdict is read aloud. Each of the three defendants has pleaded not guilty, and each is presumed innocent.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In November 2022, a psychiatric nurse practitioner screened Lindsay Clancy with a ten-question tool built to detect postpartum mood disorders. Twenty-three out of thirty was the number. Extreme anxiety showed up on the same screen. Weeks later she was admitted to McLean Hospital, where that screening was never administered.Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three first-degree murder counts arising from the deaths of her children at their Duxbury home. Her defense does not dispute the killings themselves. The defense argues her illness put her beyond criminal responsibility. The state's case is that she acted knowingly and swiftly.This is the complete conversation with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, all three parts in one.The first covers the condition. A 2017 review in BMC Psychiatry puts postpartum psychosis at roughly one or two births in a thousand, and it typically arrives within days or weeks of delivery. Eight months was Callan's age.The second covers the clinicians. Dr. Jennifer Tufts saw Clancy across fourteen video sessions and never in person, and testified she never obtained records from other providers or had Clancy sign the releases. Dr. Alia Goodheart testified no patient with that condition had ever come to her, and that McLean obtained none of Clancy's prior records.The third covers bipolar disorder. A nurse practitioner told Clancy and her husband about it in 2022. A psychiatrist dismissed it on the absence of mania. McLean discharged her with major depressive disorder, severe, without psychotic features.She authored the memoir Nightbird. Both named doctors deny the allegations against them.Clancy's five-day stay at McLean ran from January 1 to January 5, 2023. Her lawsuit says a Columbia psychiatrist evaluated her for eight hours after the deaths and diagnosed bipolar disorder with psychosis and anxious distress with postpartum onset.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A former Stillwater High School student walked out of a Payne County courtroom on August 3, 2026 with no record he has to explain to anyone. Jesse Mack Butler turned nineteen the following day.The math is the story. Prosecutors charged him as an adult in March 2025 with eleven felony counts and exposure to 78 years. He finished the case with 150 hours of community service, about $3,300, and not one night behind a locked door.Oklahoma's Youthful Offender Act put him in a supervised program instead of a cell and gave the court authority that expired on his nineteenth birthday. Everyone who signed the July 2025 agreement knew that date.Special Judge Susan Worthington granted the youthful offender status. District Attorney Laura Austin Thomas, who has since left office, said filing in adult court was deliberate because juvenile cases in Oklahoma stay confidential. That public record is the one Butler's attorney now wants sealed.Two girls came forward. Both were sixteen. Neither ever took a witness stand, because the plea was reached before the preliminary hearing where they would have testified.At the final hearing, defense attorney Derek Chance told the court his client was innocent and that one girl's account was false. The convictions were minutes from erasure. The new district attorney stood up from the gallery and said afterward that nothing had ever made his blood boil more.What remains is a federal referral nobody has attached a charge to, a civil suit naming Butler, his parents, and the school district, and an insurance company asking a federal judge to let it walk away.One mother predicted all of it in open court in December 2025.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Massachusetts State Police case officer Joshua McKelligan took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.McKelligan testified that he entered the Clancy home in the early morning hours of January 25 to record video of the master bedroom, footage that was shown to jurors today. The video focused on blood spatters and smears, a knife, and the second-story window Clancy allegedly jumped from after the killings. McKelligan noted a detail that's going to sit with jurors: the blood was on the floors, not the walls. He also testified to a bloody handprint found outside that window — and to being handed pill bottles directly by Patrick Clancy.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from that second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A psychiatric nurse practitioner named the condition out loud in 2022. Rebecca Jollotta testified she told Lindsay Clancy and her husband that Clancy might have an underlying bipolar disorder, and she prescribed an antipsychotic used to treat it. The antidepressants were not stopped.Three first-degree murder counts, three not guilty pleas. All three died at the family home on January 24, 2023. Reddington has argued postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder leave her not criminally responsible. Prosecutors say she moved deliberately and understood the consequences.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott close the three-part series on the diagnosis itself.What pushed Jollotta toward bipolar disorder was partly Clancy's report of going forty-eight hours without sleep after starting an antidepressant. Dr. Jennifer Tufts testified she considered the same diagnosis in December 2022 and dismissed it on the absence of mania, describing the criteria as euphoria, very high energy, and grandiosity.At McLean, staff testified they observed symptoms that could indicate bipolar disorder and discussed sleep deprivation leading to a hypomanic episode. She rejected that conclusion. She left with paperwork reading major depressive disorder, severe, without psychotic features.On antidepressants and bipolar patients, the research does not agree with itself, and Shavaun says so. Jurors heard a toxicology witness describe low drug levels.Nightbird is among her published work.At McLean, Goodheart testified sleep deprivation can contribute to a manic episode and that she wanted to keep observing Clancy's sleep after discharge. Jollotta also testified Clancy's thinking stayed linear and goal-directed at every appointment, and that Clancy never indicated a plan to harm anyone. Shavaun explains why linear thinking and serious illness are not opposites.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A Massachusetts State Police detective specializing in cell phone forensics spent today's session in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial reconstructing exactly what was on her phone in the days and hours before her three children died. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, is charged with murdering 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan by strangling them with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty and is pursuing an insanity defense — attorney Kevin Reddington arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication left her not criminally responsible.Detective Timothy Chiappini read a journal entry pulled from the phone in which Clancy described resentment toward her older kids, saying they were getting in the way of her bonding with Callan. He testified about her struggles with sleep training Callan and stopping breastfeeding, and her stated desire to parent each child like a first child. Chiappini also flagged photos edited on the phone on January 23 — one day before the killings — and mapped out the calls, texts, and location data from that final night.Reddington used cross-examination to redirect attention to a different category of searches on the same device, and to a series of texts between Clancy and her mother, laying groundwork for the defense's psychosis argument.Prosecutors maintain Clancy knew exactly what she was doing. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Husband Patrick Clancy was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sgt. Daniel Lawlor sat in the hallway outside Lindsay Clancy's hospital room while a psychologist spoke with her behind a closed door. He did not hear what was said. He later learned Clancy called her husband from the psychologist's phone and told him she had experienced voices the night her children died.The Commonwealth alleges Clancy murdered Cora, Dawson, and Callan at the family's Duxbury home on January 24, 2023. She has acknowledged killing them. Her defense asserts she was in a psychotic state driven by postpartum illness. The prosecution argues she acted with rational intent.On Day 12 of the trial, Reddington asked Lawlor whether investigators theorized the psychologist encouraged the call. The judge cleared the courtroom and questioned Lawlor without jurors present. Lawlor confirmed the speculation originated with lead detective McKelligan, not with the DA's office.Once jurors returned, Lawlor confirmed the theory had no evidence behind it. Buckingham established that Lawlor never discussed the matter with prosecutors and that investigative theories evolve.That afternoon, two medical examiners presented findings on the children's injuries. Clancy sobbed and told the court she could not continue. Judge Sullivan halted proceedings repeatedly. Reddington let both doctors leave the stand without a single question. Counselor Latiesha Dukes had testified earlier that she treated Clancy four times and never observed psychosis or mania.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Detective Timothy Chiappini of the Massachusetts State Police, a specialist in cell phone forensics, took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Chiappini walked jurors through the digital trail pulled straight from Clancy's phone — starting with a journal entry in which she wrote about resenting her older children, feeling they were standing between her and bonding with Callan, and struggling with sleep training and weaning him off breastfeeding. He testified she wanted to parent each child "as her first." He also detailed photos on the phone that were edited on January 23, 2023 — the day before the killings — and laid out the calls, texts, and map searches from that night.On cross, Reddington steered jurors toward a different set of searches on that same phone, and toward messages between Clancy and her mother — material the defense will lean on to argue psychosis, not clarity.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

Kyle Pavao took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Pavao, a digital forensics examiner with the Massachusetts State Police cyber crime unit, walked the jury through what he found on the family's Surface Pro. He testified to a search history that included the phrase "how to commit suicide," along with searches referencing country singer Tom T. Hall's suicide and Wikipedia's page on suicide methods. It's the kind of search history that sounds damning right up until cross-examination changes the picture.And it did. Under questioning from Reddington, Pavao acknowledged the "suicide" search was logged on Patrick Clancy's computer back in August 2022 — five months before the killings — and admitted he has no way of determining who was actually behind the keyboard. He also confirmed the device carried a long list of other searches: medications, side effects, bipolar disorder. A digital trail with more than one possible story to tell.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.

Lindsay Clancy walked out of McLean Hospital in January 2023. The psychiatrist who oversaw that discharge, Dr. Alia Goodheart, later testified no patient with that condition had ever come to her, and that she could not say how many postpartum depression patients she had seen in twenty years.Her three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, died on January 24, 2023 in Duxbury. Her plea on all three counts is not guilty. Her attorney's position is that she was psychotic and not criminally responsible. The Commonwealth argues she understood what she was doing.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott spend part two on the clinicians and the record they left behind.Goodheart testified she had no concerns about Clancy's safety or anyone else's, and that she had no reason to believe Clancy was not a reliable reporter. McLean obtained none of Clancy's prior psychiatric records.Her outpatient psychiatrist, Dr. Jennifer Tufts, testified to the same gap from the other direction. She did not request records from Clancy's other providers and did not have her sign the releases that would have opened them. She testified she relied on Clancy to disclose what mattered. Fourteen appointments, all by video, none in person.Shavaun addresses the detail that changes how all of this reads. Her career was spent in labor and delivery. She spoke the language, and it made her easier to believe.The conversation also credits the care that worked. One psychiatric nurse practitioner gave Clancy her personal cell number and called her on a day off, and Clancy's own defense lawyer said she had done a good job.Both named physicians deny liability.Tufts completed her psychiatric residency in July 2022 and joined the practice the month before Clancy became her patient. Clancy located her online. Goodheart testified McLean staff contacted Patrick Clancy to corroborate his wife's reports, and that she knows patients sometimes minimize symptoms.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Everything Kevin Reddington is arguing in Plymouth Superior Court comes back to a single claim: that by January 2023, Lindsay Clancy was hearing a voice instructing her to kill her three children and then herself.Three counts of first-degree murder are on the indictment, and Clancy has pleaded not guilty. The Duxbury deaths occurred on January 24, 2023. That she killed them is not contested. Prosecutors say she acted with intent and full awareness.Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott for part one of three, and this conversation is about the condition rather than the courtroom. Shavaun has been in practice more than thirty years, treating anxiety, depression, and the psychology of violence.Published prevalence figures sit near one or two births in every thousand. Researchers describe it as a condition that shifts — a woman can be disoriented in one hour and entirely clear in the next. Understanding that pattern is the difference between following this trial and misreading it.The conversation handles the hardest fact for the defense. This illness usually arrives within days or weeks of delivery. The baby, Callan, was eight months.Shavaun separates psychosis from psychopathy for an audience that hears the two words as one thing. She explains where an intrusive thought ends and a command voice begins. She takes on why Clancy told her providers she had no thoughts of harming her children while her husband testified she told him otherwise. And she answers whether this illness reaches the part of a person that knows right from wrong.Shavaun Scott's book is Nightbird. Parts two and three follow.Judge William Sullivan is presiding in Plymouth Superior Court. Shavaun also addresses what the jury has already heard from four clinicians who described clear, linear thinking and no psychosis, and why that testimony does not settle the question the way it appears to.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Anyone following the Lindsay Clancy murder trial has watched a second case get built in public against her husband. Patrick Clancy has never been charged, never been named by a detective, and never been accused by her own defense team. He is being convicted anyway, daily, by strangers.The loudest item on the list is the lawsuit. He sued four of her providers on behalf of his three children's estates, and a great many people read that as a man constructing himself a story. Lindsay sued eleven, seven of them individual providers, plus McLean Hospital and Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island. Both filings argue the same thing about the care she got.Tony Brueski works through what the accusation needs to be true and what the record actually holds. Where the errand originates. What the toxicology came back as. What two strangers on a phone line heard from her minutes before. Dr. Jennifer Tufts, a defendant in those suits, has been on the stand defending the care she gave, with Julie Paul called after her.And there is one thing he did a year after losing them that the people prosecuting him online have never had to account for.He made that same argument first, days after the funerals, when he asked strangers on a fundraising page to forgive her the way he had. He told police the medications had given her the worst side effects possible. He said he was not married to a monster.Eighteen jurors have now heard every fact this accusation rests on, under oath, and not one of them has been asked to consider him.Come for the list. Stay for the item nobody on either side argues with him about.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Set the Lindsay Clancy trial beside the Alex Murdaugh retrial and the witness lists start to rhyme. Tony Brueski takes the mail across all three segments with Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent who spent his career in behavioral analysis.Clancy's psychiatrists testified for the prosecution that they saw no signs of psychosis. One of them, Dr. Jennifer Tufts, told jurors she did not have or seek Clancy's records from other providers and relied on her patient to disclose what mattered. The other, Dr. Alia Goodheart of McLean Hospital, testified the hospital did not obtain those records either. Neither knew about the two crisis line calls Clancy's civil suit describes.In South Carolina, Murdaugh's defense is demanding updated personnel files, disciplinary records and internal affairs materials on the investigators and forensic analysts who built the case. The state is moving the other way, seeking to admit Murdaugh's 2023 testimony and to keep third-party guilt away from the jury.One structure, two jurisdictions. A record assembled by people who were not looking for the thing the defense now says was sitting there.Prosecutors in Massachusetts argue Clancy's providers are not to blame and that she acted intentionally. Prosecutors in South Carolina argue the evidence against Murdaugh is overwhelming and that speculation about other suspects is not evidence.Clancy's trial is expected to run six to eight weeks with more than a hundred and eighty witnesses. Murdaugh's retrial is tentatively set for April 5, 2027.Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent. Alex Murdaugh awaits retrial after his convictions were overturned and is presumed innocent.Robin Dreeke handles all of it, including what a witness leaves out and how you hear it. 988 is answered around the clock.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Christian Obumseli recorded what was happening to him. On this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski tells the story of the Courtney Clenney case through the evidence Christian left behind, and the six-year sentence a Miami judge accepted on August 10, 2026.The clips came off his phone after his death, recovered by homicide investigators. In them, Clenney screams at him, calls him a racial slur, demands he let her slap him. In one exchange he tells her plainly that what she said was a threat, that he apologized, and that she hit him anyway. Her attorneys argue those moments lack context and insist she was the one being abused. His family's attorney says the recordings show exactly who the aggressor was.Four years after his death, none of it went before a jury. Clenney pleaded guilty to manslaughter with a deadly weapon and received six years, most of it already behind her through time served. Five years of probation, evaluations, and a batterers' intervention program follow. The life sentence she once faced disappeared with the amended charge.Tony traces how a prosecution that publicly branded her the aggressor arrived at this outcome, what role her battered-partner claim played, and why the family signed off despite rejecting her self-defense account from the start. He also gets into the remarkable thing her lawyers preserved at the sentencing hearing itself, a move involving her ability to earn from this case, and the pledge prosecutors made in response.Toby was twenty-seven, a son and a brother his family refuses to let be reduced to a court file. His voice is still in the record. This episode makes sure it gets heard.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, sat in court today for some of the most difficult testimony of the trial so far. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Today the courtroom heard from three witnesses. Nichole Bradley, Assistant Deputy Superintendent with the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department, testified about providing security watch at Clancy's hospital room following her alleged suicide attempt. Then came the harder part. Renee Stonebridge, neuropathology-trained and with the Chief Medical Examiner's Office, testified that all three children died of asphyxia, with significant brain swelling caused by lack of oxygen and blood flow. Dr. Barbara Olson, who performed the autopsies on Cora and Dawson, testified that bruising on Cora was recent — though she couldn't pin down exactly when it occurred — and that both children would have felt pain as they lost consciousness during strangulation. Mechanical asphyxiation, she confirmed, killed them both.Court had to recess more than once as Clancy reacted emotionally to the testimony.After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to jump from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several more weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The part of Alex Murdaugh's new defense filing that matters most is the part about personnel files. Tony Brueski works the listener mail with Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent who spent his career in behavioral analysis.The motion asks the court to order prosecutors to produce updated disciplinary records and internal affairs materials. It covers misconduct findings on any officer or forensic analyst tied to the investigation, arrest or prosecution. It names no one. The language is broad enough to reach several people.One of them is former SLED senior special agent Ryan Kelly. He led the investigation into the September 2021 roadside shooting involving Murdaugh and Curtis Eddie Smith. Kelly testified at the 2023 murder trial. He told jurors investigators had found nothing whatsoever connecting Smith to the killings of Maggie and Paul. Kelly left SLED in 2025 and joined the Charleston County Sheriff's Office as chief inspector of internal affairs. He was fired from that job in June 2026 after an administrative investigation into allegations of harassment, conduct unbecoming, improper procedures and unsatisfactory performance.That termination has not been linked to anything Kelly did while at SLED, and there is no indication the allegations involved any Murdaugh-related investigation. Whether any of it would be admissible is a question for the court. Publicly available records do not describe the underlying conduct.That is exactly the kind of post-trial development the motion appears built to capture, and it is why listeners keep asking how exposed the state's witness list actually is.His convictions no longer stand, and Murdaugh is presumed innocent heading into April. Robin Dreeke handles the mailbag on credibility files, impeachment, and what a jury never sees.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

One program in the treatment timeline was designed specifically for postpartum patients. Women & Infants Hospital in Providence ran a partial hospitalization track for mothers dealing with mood disorders after childbirth. Lindsay Clancy's nurse practitioner sent her there in mid-December 2022 on an urgent basis.The Commonwealth alleges Clancy murdered her three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, at the family's Duxbury home on January 24, 2023. She has acknowledged killing them. Her defense asserts she was in a psychotic state driven by postpartum illness. The prosecution argues she acted rationally and with planning.Jollotta anticipated Clancy would remain in the program for two weeks. According to testimony at Plymouth Superior Court, she stayed for a single day. Reddington pressed Jollotta on whether staff declined to admit Clancy over concerns about overmedication.Jollotta testified she was troubled by the early departure and told Clancy in a message that group therapy and additional support could help. She was reluctant to taper Seroquel because it had been easing Clancy's depression and sleep. Before leaving for vacation, Jollotta left a written taper plan on December 21.Reddington produced hospital records suggesting Women & Infants attempted to reach Jollotta and received no answer. She denied receiving any call. Jollotta acknowledged she never communicated with Dr. Jennifer Tufts, the psychiatrist managing Clancy's medications at the same time. The prosecution closed by asking whether Jollotta ever suspected postpartum psychosis. She testified she had not.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, was back in Plymouth Superior Court today for testimony that cut right into how her mental health care was actually handled before the killings. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is running an insanity defense built around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Today it was Latisha Dukes, a counselor and psychologist at South Shore Hospital, under cross-examination — and the admission was a big one. Dukes said she never read the notes or records from Paul or Jollotta before working with Clancy. She testified Clancy was afraid of becoming addicted to Ativan just to sleep, and that she genuinely had "unmanageable anxiety," depression, and both passive and active suicidal ideation. On redirect, Dukes defended the gap, saying she skipped the prior records deliberately to approach the case with "fresh eyes." She also said she had no input into medication management. Separately, Duxbury Police Officer Cameron Dailey testified about being assigned to provide security and watch Clancy at the hospital.Prosecutors are still expected to argue Clancy understood what she was doing despite the mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial is expected to run several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two very different witnesses gave the jury a fuller picture today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Trooper Dan Lawlor, who provided security at the hospital, testified on cross-examination that he saw a doctor step in to consult with Clancy and later learned that doctor let her use his own phone to call her husband, Patrick. Lawlor also said he and the lead investigator discussed a theory worth noting: that a psychiatrist may have told Clancy to say she was hearing voices. On re-direct, he confirmed a conversation with another trooper didn't affect his testimony.Then came Latisha Dukes, a counselor and psychologist at South Shore Hospital, who testified her sessions with Clancy began in late November 2022 for depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and thoughts of not wanting to be there. Dukes said Clancy had tried to get help at Women's and Infants Hospital before the killings and was turned away — because she didn't have a "plan."Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's claims. Clancy allegedly attempted suicide after the killings and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Patrick Clancy has since relocated to Manhattan.

State Police Trooper Dan Lawlor took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Lawlor testified he responded to South Shore Hospital, where he served an evidence preservation order and collected Clancy's clothing and jewelry, along with other physical evidence. Under cross-examination, he confirmed she wasn't wearing shoes. But the detail that actually matters: Lawlor said his job at the hospital was to "maintain custody" of Clancy — meaning nobody, not a lawyer, not anyone, got near her until a court order let a psychiatrist in. That's not standard hospital protocol. That's a state trooper posted at the door.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two of the motions prosecutors just renewed in the Alex Murdaugh retrial are about what the jury will never hear. Tony Brueski takes the listener mail on them with Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent who spent his career in behavioral analysis.The first would exclude evidence of third-party guilt. The state won that fight before the 2023 trial. Winning it again means Murdaugh's lawyers cannot stand up and point at another person as the killer without clearing a bar the court sets.The second would exclude any mention of a polygraph. That one has a history. In an October filing before the first trial, Murdaugh's own attorneys wrote that Curtis Eddie Smith failed a polygraph when he was questioned about whether he murdered Maggie and Paul. Smith has denied wrongdoing in the murders. Prosecutors argued then, and are arguing again, that juries give polygraphers more weight than the science supports.Prosecutors are also asking the court to admit Murdaugh's 2023 testimony at the retrial, seeking a fresh review of digital evidence, and opposing the defense's bid for outside DNA testing.The question listeners keep raising is worth taking seriously. An office that calls its evidence overwhelming is asking a judge to close two doors it already closed once. Prosecutors would say that is standard practice and that speculation is not evidence.Maggie Murdaugh and Paul Murdaugh were killed at the family's Colleton County property on June 7, 2021. Paul was twenty-two. Murdaugh has said he found their bodies.Judge Debra McCaslin has tentatively set the retrial for April 5, 2027, and is handling pretrial proceedings in Lexington County.With the verdicts vacated, Murdaugh stands as an untried defendant again, presumed innocent. Robin Dreeke takes the mailbag on what gets kept out and who it actually protects.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Lindsay Clancy trial has spent days on her medical care, and the timeline that came out of it does not line up the way either side wants. Tony Brueski works through the questions listeners are sending in with Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent who spent his career on behavioral analysis.Start with the calendar. Clancy began seeing Dr. Jennifer Tufts in September 2022, and fourteen appointments followed by video through January 23, 2023. Tufts testified Clancy was deteriorating across that stretch, with worsening depression, insomnia and anxiety. She raised the possibility of bipolar disorder at a November appointment, then concluded Clancy did not meet the criteria.Then New Year's Day 2023. Clancy admitted herself to McLean Hospital. Dr. Alia Goodheart joined her care on January 3 and discharged her on January 5. Goodheart testified Clancy was polite, cooperative, appropriately dressed, and denied any plan to harm herself or anyone else.Somewhere inside that same window, according to Clancy's own civil filings, she called a crisis line twice. Neither psychiatrist knew it had happened. Neither had the other's records, and neither obtained records from Clancy's earlier providers.That is the question listeners keep asking, and it is a fair one. Two calls placed by a woman under psychiatric care, and no clinician treating her ever learned they happened.On all three counts of first-degree murder, Clancy pleaded not guilty and remains presumed innocent. Prosecutors argue she was not seriously pursuing treatment and that her providers bear no responsibility. The providers deny negligence.Robin Dreeke takes the mailbag on what a handoff is supposed to look like and where this one broke.

Patrick Clancy buried his three children in 2023, and in January 2026 he walked into a Norfolk County courthouse and became a plaintiff. Hidden Killers examines the wrongful death lawsuit he filed over the deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan, and the choice sitting inside it. Lindsay Clancy, who admits she killed the children, is not among the defendants. The mental health providers who treated her are. Tony walks through the four months the complaint reconstructs. Lindsay contacted psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Tufts in September 2022 and began seeing nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta that November. The filing says her prescriptions were added and accelerated without a plan, that she told her providers the medications were making her worse, and that basic lab work meant to track how her body was handling the drugs never happened. By January her own provider's notes described her as deteriorating, according to the suit, and her appointments that month all ran the same short length. Her last one came the day before her children died. Patrick's filing states that with adequate care, it is more likely than not his kids would still be alive, and he put his name on that claim while prosecutors in a different county argue Lindsay planned everything. The episode covers what wrongful death actually requires a jury to find, and why the estates of the three children are themselves plaintiffs. It lays out how Patrick's suit differs from Lindsay's separate malpractice case, and what the hospitals named in both filings have said in response. The allegations are unproven and Lindsay is presumed innocent in her criminal trial. This is the lawsuit that asks whether January 24 had to happen, and a civil jury will eventually answer it.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two of the most followed cases in the country share one full episode: the Nancy Guthrie ransom letters and the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, with Tony Brueski taking listener questions alongside retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke.The Guthrie half runs on the July 31 release. A first letter demanded $4 million and carried details from inside her home. A second letter withdrew every demand and told Savannah Guthrie and her siblings that their mother perished and is buried in nature. Add the sheriff's on-camera denial one day before the release, and the audience questions write themselves. The Clancy half runs on the courtroom pattern the audience spotted first. Prosecution witnesses keep describing a loving mother. Nine pill bottles were counted before the jury. A hospital discharged her 19 days before the deaths. A dedicated segment covers why the internet keeps prosecuting Patrick Clancy after the evidence cleared him.One behavioral analyst, two cases, and the sharpest questions our audience has ever sent. By the end you'll know exactly where you stand on both — or you'll know why you can't decide.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There's a reflex that shows up in case after case, and the Anna Kepner story may be its clearest example yet. A warning about a teenager arrives, and the adults reach for the innocent explanation. Obsession gets called a crush. A knife gets called a hobby. The innocent explanation requires doing nothing, and nothing gets done.Consider what witnesses say was already known before Anna, an eighteen-year-old Florida senior, boarded the Carnival Horizon with her blended family in November 2025. A named adult says he described her fear to national media. Her ex-boyfriend says an incident he personally witnessed over FaceTime reached her parents directly. Anna herself reportedly resisted the trip. Days later she was dead in the cabin she'd been assigned to share with her stepbrother, Timothy Hudson, who has pleaded not guilty to federal charges and remains presumed innocent.On this episode of Hidden Killers, the starting point is a court filing: prosecutors delivering Anna's full Snapchat extraction, FBI reports, and grand jury materials into the hands of Hudson's defense, under seal. Her final message, timestamped 8:14 p.m., became the anchor of the government's timeline and a piece of discovery in the case against the boy accused of taking her life.From there, this becomes an argument about accountability that true crime coverage usually avoids. A federal judge found language for what the household wouldn't act on. The family found clarity about danger only after Anna died. And "we didn't see it coming" keeps working as a shield. The case for retiring that shield starts with what happened to this one girl who told people she was afraid.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rebecca Jollotta, a psychiatric nurse practitioner certified by Postpartum Support International, testified today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Jollotta testified she saw Clancy only three times before referring her to a program at Women & Infants Hospital — and said she never learned how the hospital evaluated Clancy, or why she wasn't accepted. Reddington pressed on that gap, asking if Jollotta knew Clancy had been turned away over excessive medication, then read from a Women & Infants record claiming the hospital had called Jollotta and never heard back. Jollotta's answer: she never spoke with Women & Infants at all. She also testified Clancy wasn't doctor shopping — she was trying to get off medication, not add to it — and that in her career she's treated five patients with postpartum psychosis, a condition where hearing voices and visual hallucinations are recognized symptoms.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Six months into the Nancy Guthrie investigation, the Pima County Sheriff's Department put its two most closely held pieces of evidence in front of the public: the purported ransom notes. Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke answer the listener questions those letters unleashed.Start with the night itself. Doorbell camera disconnected at 1:47 a.m., a person detected at 2:12 with no video surviving, her pacemaker offline at 2:28, her blood on the porch. Then the letters. A $4 million Bitcoin demand backed by details only someone inside the house should know. Four days later, a second note with no demand at all: she perished, she is buried in nature, we hope you find peace, we are truly sorry. And around it all, a sheriff who denied having any note indicating death just one day before his department released one.Robin built his career reading people through their words, and these are the most consequential words this case has produced. From the listener whose own mother lives alone to the one who thinks the search behind Nancy's house means investigators know more than they're saying — this episode is the conversation the whole audience is having.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rebecca Jollotta, the psychiatric nurse practitioner certified by Postpartum Support International, went back on the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.After the morning recess, Jollotta picked up where she left off, walking jurors through an ongoing stream of MyChart messages between herself and Clancy. She testified that at a December 6, 2022 appointment — one Patrick Clancy attended alongside his wife — she raised the possibility of an underlying bipolar disorder. Jollotta said she was worried enough about Clancy's mental state that she wanted to see her every single week. And in a detail that's going to sit heavy with anyone following this case: Jollotta testified Lindsay did report suicidal ideation, just never on the days Jollotta was actually in the room to hear it.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Patrick Clancy was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

Four separate places treated Lindsay Clancy in the four months before January 24, 2023. Testimony on Day 10 of her Plymouth Superior Court murder trial established that none of them could read what the others were writing down.Aster Mental Health had her from September. South Shore's perinatal behavioral health program had her in November. McLean Hospital admitted her for five days in early January. A program in Rhode Island evaluated her in December. Dr. Jennifer Tufts, the psychiatrist who saw her most, testified she had no access to the records from any of the others and never requested them.That gap has a rule behind it. Under Massachusetts law, mental health information sits behind a higher wall than ordinary medical data, and a provider needs a signed authorization to reach across it. Tufts confirmed she never put that form in front of her patient.The consequences arrived in pieces. Tufts said she found out about the McLean admission only after discharge. She said she did not know Clancy had disclosed thoughts of harming the children, and that had she known, she would have been very concerned and might have contacted the state child protection agency.The afternoon brought Julie Paul, the psychiatric nurse practitioner who founded the South Shore perinatal program in 2018. Her testimony about how Clancy reached that program, what her screening actually scored, and how long she remained a patient there changes the shape of the whole November timeline.Tony runs the day the way it happened, including Judge William Sullivan's morning ruling permitting three additional defense doctors.Clancy has entered a plea of not guilty. Her attorneys argue postpartum psychosis left her not criminally responsible. Prosecutors say the killings were intentional.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is on trial for allegedly strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Today the jury heard from the two nurse practitioners who actually managed her care. Julie Paul, the first to treat her, was cross-examined by Reddington, who zeroed in on something simple but pointed: did Clancy have Paul's personal cell number? She did. Then came Rebecca Jollotta, certified by Postpartum Support International, who took over after Paul left the clinic. Jollotta testified that Clancy cycled through several medications, was losing weight, and wasn't sleeping — but she never presented as manic, and Jollotta saw no signs of psychosis, suicidal ideation, or homicidal ideation. She also noted the medication changes were short trials, not the full four-week courses typically needed to judge whether something's working. Prosecutors highlighted that Clancy once reached out to Jollotta specifically worried about Ativan dependence and intrusive thoughts — proof, they suggest, that she knew exactly what was happening to her.After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Something is happening in the Lindsay Clancy courtroom that the audience caught before the analysts did: the prosecution's own witnesses keep describing a devoted mother. Tony Brueski built this episode entirely from listener questions, because eight days of testimony have left the mailbag overflowing.The questions cut across every fault line in the case. Whether a takeout order and a perfectly timed errand can coexist with psychosis. Whether the nine pill bottles prosecutors emptied in front of the jury prove she wasn't taking her medication — or prove nothing, since the defense says overmedication caused all of it. How a psychiatric hospital discharged her 19 days before her children died. What the sobbing that halted court during the medical examiner's testimony should mean to the people watching. And whether a not-criminally-responsible verdict could ever, someday, mean freedom.The final question refuses to be about Lindsay at all. It's about Cora, who was 5, Dawson, who was 3, and Callan, who was 8 months old. One listener wants to know who in that courtroom stands up for them. If you've been following this trial, these eight questions are the conversation you've been having in your head.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Lindsay Clancy trial settled the question of who before it started — her attorney conceded it in his opening. So why is a growing crowd online convinced Patrick Clancy is the real killer? Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke spend a full segment inside that question.Consider what the theory has to survive. Patrick left at 5:15. A Kingston CVS camera has him at 5:32. Phone records run unbroken to the 911 call. Lindsay's journal documented her decline for months. She told Patrick that night what she had done, and in three and a half years she has never claimed otherwise. Patrick's response was to forgive her, keep talking to her, and sue the doctors he says failed her.Robin explains why none of that penetrates, what people think they're seeing when they watch a grieving father stay composed, and whether a theory this dug-in can ever actually die. The last question Tony asks him is the one the whole episode builds toward. His answer says as much about the audience as it does about the case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Greg Rauch spent twenty years practicing law in Moscow, Idaho, and nothing in that career resembles what Bryan Kohberger just handed him. Rauch's firm bio covers Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, landlord-tenant fights, DUI defense, divorce, child custody, wills, probate, and real estate. It credits him with more than twenty trials. It shows no murder case, no capital case, and no petition remotely like the handwritten one Kohberger filed on July 27, 2026 to undo his guilty plea in the Idaho student murders. The state appointed Rauch on August 3 because the public defender's office had a conflict — Kohberger is accusing his own former lawyers of coercing a false confession and burying evidence, claims no judge has ruled on yet. Hours into the job, Rauch admitted to a reporter that he hadn't read the file and had never spoken to the man he represents. The contrast with what came before is the whole story. Anne Taylor's team carried this case for two and a half years, brought in a genetics-trained DNA specialist from San Francisco, and negotiated the deal that kept Kohberger off death row after prosecutors said his DNA was on the knife sheath. The case cost Idaho taxpayers a reported eight million dollars. Kohberger's petition calls that representation a betrayal, and his reward is a solo general practitioner working three hundred miles from the prison where he sits. If the gamble works, the plea dies and the death penalty returns, exactly the outcome the Goncalves family says it wants. This episode lays out the full record on the man now standing between Bryan Kohberger and a capital courtroom, and why the poor guy holding this file may have drawn the worst assignment in American law.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

One retired FBI agent, three cases, one theme that will not go away: who checks the people running the investigation? Jennifer Coffindaffer sits down with Tony Brueski on Hidden Killers for a triple episode spanning the Nancy Guthrie disappearance, the Alex Murdaugh retrial, and the Lindsay Clancy murder trial.Guthrie first. The agency running that case handed the public its best evidence by mistake — a media release with the alleged kidnapper's Bitcoin wallet address printed on it. Coffindaffer traced it. No ransom was ever paid; the wallet's lone deposit is roughly three hundred dollars from the FBI, and direct messages to the wallet, including the family's own words about paying, went unanswered for six months. Sheriff Nanos calls the FBI partnership great while thousands of hours of video sit unreviewed.Murdaugh next. Becky Hill's jury interference forced the retrial, yet her guilty plea covered a book photo, bonuses, and sealed exhibits, not the tampering, with no prison time, and a federal judge just dismissed Murdaugh's lawsuit against her. The agency that investigated Hill was SLED, whose biggest conviction depended on her verdict surviving. Now a defense motion demands SLED's files be searched and certified clean in writing, with lead investigator David Owen already connected to a separate case dismissed over undisclosed evidence.Clancy last. Her defense stipulated to the forensics in week two, stripping the trial to a single question: was her mind her own the night Cora, Dawson, and Callan died? The state answered with toxicology in a case that was never about an overdose, and a calm-patient snapshot from six days later.Murdaugh and Clancy are presumed innocent. Nancy Guthrie is still missing. Coffindaffer has worked inside the machine, and this is her honest read on what the machine is doing in all three.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Julie Paul, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who treated Lindsay Clancy, testified today about the day-to-day reality behind the diagnosis — not the headline version, the actual clinical picture. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Paul told jurors that Clancy's anxiety got worse once her husband, Patrick, went back to work — and that it didn't let up after that, it just kept going. She also detailed trouble sleeping and walked the court through the string of different medications Clancy was prescribed, which is where the "overmedication" side of this defense lives or dies on the details.But here's the part that cuts against a tidy narrative either way: Paul said she never once saw suicidal ideation in Clancy. And she made a point of telling the jury that trial-and-error with psychiatric medication isn't some red flag unique to this case — it's standard operating procedure, full stop. Finding what works is often a process of elimination, not a sign something's going catastrophically wrong.Clancy allegedly attempted suicide after the killings, jumping from a second-story window and leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Patrick Clancy was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court, expected to run several more weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Who searches SLED's files besides SLED? That question sits under the Brady motion Alex Murdaugh's defense filed on August 5, 2026 — a demand that prosecutors reopen their entire discovery file and prove the retrial jury gets everything the law requires.Tony Brueski takes apart the demand piece by piece. The defense wants every witness deal made or modified since 2023, every new statement, every disciplinary record and internal affairs file attached to the investigators and analysts who built the case against Murdaugh — plus warrants, DNA developments, and anything from the appeal that touches the verdict's integrity. Then it asks for the piece with teeth: written certification that a diligent, current search happened and came up empty.The history driving it is specific. A judge quashed the Michael Colucci murder indictment in June 2025 after ruling the state withheld favorable evidence for nearly a decade — evidence a witness testified she handed to lead investigator David Owen back in 2015, and that Owen denied receiving. Owen ran the Murdaugh investigation too. A second former SLED agent from the case, Ryan Kelly, was fired from the Charleston County Sheriff's Office in June 2026, for allegations records don't detail and with no known connection to his SLED work or to Murdaugh.The state's answer is predictable and not unreasonable to raise: the motion points to no specific hidden document and no specific compromised witness. Attorney General Alan Wilson's office gets its say before Judge Debra McCaslin rules, with a hearing set for August 14 in Lexington County. Murdaugh is presumed innocent and faces retrial in April 2027. This episode is about the file that trial gets built on — and who vouches for it.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Jennifer Tufts, a psychiatrist who spent four years as a resident treating thousands of psychiatric patients — roughly 50 of them dealing with postpartum depression — took the stand again today in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, this time on redirect from prosecutors. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Tufts told the court she's treated patients in the middle of active psychosis before — she knows what it looks like. And by her account, she didn't see it in Clancy. That's the kind of testimony that doesn't need a dramatic soundbite to matter; it goes straight at the foundation of the defense's entire theory.Then came recross, and things got granular fast. Reddington and Tufts went back and forth over her own clinical notes — not just what was written, but what it actually meant. Two professionals, same document, competing readings. Juries tend to remember exactly this kind of moment, because it's not about who's lying. It's about how much room there is to argue over a diagnosis after the fact.Clancy allegedly attempted suicide after the killings, jumping from a second-story window and leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.

Everyone in that Plymouth courtroom agrees Lindsay Clancy swallowed pills the night her children died. So the state's toxicologist testified that the antipsychotic in her blood measured roughly ten times below toxic levels — that people trying to die take handfuls, and this wasn't that. The testimony landed on a question neither side is actually fighting about. This was never an overdose case. It's a case about a mind. And that same night, Clancy went out a second-story window. She will never walk again.On this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski asks retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer whether the prosecution is proving the wrong thing. The state built a meticulous forensic answer to a question the defense never asked. The real question sits untouched: was Lindsay Clancy's mind her own on January 24?Week two forced that question into the open. The defense stipulated to the forensic evidence: blood, DNA, the physical record. Clancy's lawyers have never disputed that she caused the deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan. Criminal responsibility is the entire trial. Coffindaffer and Tony work through what's left of the state's case once the forensics stop mattering. There's a psychiatric evaluation from six days after the deaths describing a calm and organized patient. There are diary pages about brain fog and terror that prosecutors say show no break from reality. The defense answer to both is the same: postpartum psychosis moves hour to hour, and a snapshot is not that night.Coffindaffer has spent decades reading how juries absorb medical testimony, and she's blunt about which of these moves persuade and which insult a jury's intelligence.Lindsay Clancy is presumed innocent of murder. Cora, Dawson, and Callan deserve a trial about what actually happened, not a sideshow about what didn't.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Jennifer Tufts, the psychiatrist who treated Lindsay Clancy, spent today under cross-examination in the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother's murder trial — and defense attorney Kevin Reddington didn't let her off easy. Clancy, 34, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington pressed Tufts on the basics of suicidal-ideation screening, then pointed out something that should give anyone pause: no blood tests were ever run to check whether Clancy's prescribed medications were actually working. He also zeroed in on what he characterized as thin, inadequate responses to Clancy's own cries for help. Tufts testified she doesn't put much stock in genetic testing for medication selection — a position Reddington used to needle her about a postpartum-thyroid article she admitted she'd never read. She also confirmed she and Clancy had discussed a possible undiagnosed bipolar disorder, prompted by an extreme reaction to SSRIs, along with a partial hospitalization program that never happened. And despite everything, Tufts told the court she didn't believe involuntary hospitalization was warranted.Prosecutors maintain Clancy understood what she was doing despite the mental-health claims. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

If you're the state's expert witness, the last thing you want is your own resume working against you. That's what happened today in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, when defense attorney Kevin Reddington took psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Tufts apart on cross. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation after prosecutors allege she strangled her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty, with an insanity defense built around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Tufts told the court she'd been trained in postpartum treatment and had seen as many as 50 patients across four years. Reddington countered with the specifics: in the month leading up to Clancy's evaluation — her first stretch practicing solo — she'd seen roughly two postpartum depression patients. He also raised a pending lawsuit accusing Tufts of overstating her postpartum credentials, a detail that undercuts the "trusted expert" framing prosecutors need her to carry. He then pivoted to medication, walking her through side effects and drug interactions and pushing on how much she actually knew about what Clancy was taking, before hammering what he's calling a breakdown in communication among her doctor, her psychiatrist, and everyone else supposedly coordinating her care.Prosecutors continue to argue Clancy knew what she was doing despite the psychiatric defense. She allegedly attempted suicide after the killings by jumping from a second-story window and remains paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands during the incident and has since relocated to Manhattan.

Two doctors testified at the Lindsay Clancy murder trial on Day 9, and both are defendants in wrongful-death lawsuits filed over the deaths of the three Clancy children. That collision is the spine of this episode of Hidden Killers. The state called Dr. Alia Goodheart and Dr. Jennifer Tufts to help prove Lindsay Clancy planned the killings in Duxbury, Massachusetts. What jurors heard cut both ways. Goodheart explained why McLean Hospital sent Clancy home on January 5, 2023: she seemed like a caring mother focused on the future, with support at home and follow-up care booked. Nineteen days later the children were gone. Pressed by defense attorney Kevin Reddington, Goodheart acknowledged she has never treated postpartum psychosis, and Yahoo News reports McLean never pulled Clancy's prior records or ran blood tests during her stay. Then Tufts described where Clancy stood the day before it all ended, in two words said under oath. Tony lays out what the prosecution wanted from this testimony, what the defense actually got, and why the stakes could not fork harder. A conviction means life without parole. A finding of not guilty by reason of a lack of criminal responsibility means a state psychiatric facility. There's also the courtroom fight that opened the day, an accusation about a hot mic, a denial from the district attorney's office, and a judge reminding everyone in the room that the microphones are always on. Tufts is back on the stand August 10 for cross-examination, and Reddington has already shown which prescription he plans to start with. This is the episode that gets you ready for it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Jennifer Tufts, the psychiatrist who evaluated Lindsay Clancy, spent today's session getting picked apart by defense attorney Kevin Reddington — and it wasn't pretty. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is charged with three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation after prosecutors allege she killed her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty, and her legal team, led by Reddington, is arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication left her unable to understand what she was doing.On the stand, Tufts said she'd trained in postpartum care and had treated up to 50 patients over four years. Reddington zeroed in on a narrower number: in the month before she saw Clancy — while practicing independently for the first time — she'd handled maybe two postpartum depression cases. He also brought up a lawsuit that names Tufts, alleging she misrepresented her postpartum expertise, which is the kind of detail that tends to stick with a jury longer than a resume. From there, Reddington moved into medication — pressing her on side effects, interactions, and what she actually knew about the drugs Clancy was taking. The throughline of his questioning: a communication breakdown between doctor, patient, and the other providers involved in her care.Prosecutors still maintain Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's psychiatric claims. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

Alex Murdaugh's lawyers just filed a motion that doesn't name one hidden document or one lying witness. Instead it demands something bigger: that prosecutors search ten categories of material — witness deals, disciplinary files, lab records, everything — and then swear in writing that nothing helpful to Murdaugh exists beyond what they've already turned over. Put your name on it. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer spent a career inside federal investigations. On this episode of Hidden Killers, she tells Tony Brueski what a demand like that actually does inside an agency, and whether Dick Harpootlian is fishing or hunting.The motion didn't land in a vacuum. It landed one day after a federal judge dismissed Murdaugh's $600,000 lawsuit against Becky Hill, the former clerk whose jury interference got his murder convictions overturned. Hill pleaded guilty to obstruction, perjury, and misconduct: charges built on a book-promotion photo, self-paid bonuses, and lying about sealed exhibits. She received no prison time. The tampering itself was never charged. Coffindaffer confronts the piece of that story that won't sit still: SLED investigated Hill while SLED's own biggest conviction depended on her verdict surviving.And SLED's record is exactly why the written-certification demand has teeth. Lead investigator David Owen is connected to a separate murder case a judge dismissed after finding evidence that could have helped the defendant was never properly disclosed. Agent Ryan Kelly, whose testimony cleared Eddie Smith of any connection to the killings, was fired this June from a sheriff's office internal affairs job. The firing is unrelated to his SLED work, but his file now sits inside the defense's demand. Then there's the shirt: negative for human blood, then chemically rendered untestable forever.April's retrial will decide Murdaugh's fate. This conversation is about who audits the people who decided it the first time.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The office running the Nancy Guthrie investigation handed the public its biggest piece of evidence by accident. The Pima County Sheriff's Office sent out a media release with the alleged kidnapper's Bitcoin wallet address printed at the bottom. They clawed it back, but only after it was screenshotted across the internet. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer took that address and traced every transaction on it, and this episode of Hidden Killers walks through what she found.Start with the number. The alleged demand was four million dollars. Coffindaffer's trace shows the only money that ever entered the wallet was 0.0022 Bitcoin — about three hundred dollars — deposited by the FBI on February 10. It sits there untouched. No ransom was ever paid, which lands hard against the family's public statement that they did their part.Then the silence. The blockchain shows messages written straight to the wallet, including the exact words Savannah Guthrie spoke on camera about being willing to pay. Whoever sent those notes had a direct, open channel to the family the entire time and never used it. Coffindaffer tells Tony Brueski what that pattern looks like from the inside of a federal kidnapping case. None of the explanations are comfortable.She also separates the two ransom notes into what she believes are two different hands: an organized author writing threats on a schedule, and a second voice claiming they never intended to hurt her. If she's right, the apology note reads like insurance in a death penalty state.And through all of it, Sheriff Nanos sits for his six-month message, calls the FBI partnership great, and concedes thousands of hours of video haven't been reviewed. Six months. Nancy Guthrie's family is still waiting. Tony and Coffindaffer follow the only trail that can't be spun: the money.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Something happened in the Lindsay Clancy trial that legal analysts didn't expect from a prosecution witness — an admission that may have done more for the defense than for the state. I break it down along with everything else that unfolded across the Commonwealth's case.Thirteen psychiatric medications, all within therapeutic range — that's the prosecution's headline fact, the one they want the jury fixated on. It's supposed to mean she was lucid. It doesn't mean what they think it means, and their own expert said so under cross-examination.Day 8 alone produced eleven witnesses, all called by the state. A medical examiner detailed how 8-month-old Callan died. Lindsay Clancy broke down hard enough at the defense table that the judge halted the hearing until she composed herself. The family's pediatrician recounted a completely unremarkable checkup with 5-year-old Cora hours before the deaths. Coworkers and friends testified to insomnia, brain fog, a rotating list of medications, and time spent at McLean Hospital. Patrick Clancy's own father took the stand and called her a great mother.Then the case detective was asked about a search warrant on her Facebook account, hunting for any sign of abuse in the home. He confirmed it turned up nothing.Her journal entries were read into the record — lines about drowning, about barely holding on. The prosecution reads those words as premeditation. The defense reads them as a woman's mind unraveling in real time, on paper, before anyone stepped in. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington has conceded what happened. What he's fighting is whether Massachusetts can prove she was sane beyond a reasonable doubt. I walk through where that fight stands now.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There's a version of Duane "Keffe D" Davis who spent fifteen years describing, in detail, how he says Tupac Shakur was killed. He told the LAPD in a 2008 proffer session. He said it again on BET's "Death Row Chronicles." He put it in writing in his 2019 memoir, claiming he handed his nephew Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson the gun and ordered the hit over a fight at the MGM Grand. Then Davis got arrested in September 2023, and a different version showed up. He told ABC News he made the whole thing up to sell books. He said he wasn't even in Las Vegas that night, contradicting what he'd published under his own name.  Both versions can't be true, and the jury in Las Vegas is going to have to decide which one to believe with no murder weapon and no DNA to lean on. Anderson, the man Davis says pulled the trigger, denied it before he was killed in Compton in 1998. Judge Carli Kierny has ruled Davis's own statements admissible, which means the case largely comes down to his own words against each other.  Every defense motion so far has failed. The immunity argument built on that 2008 proffer was rejected. The bid to suppress a search of his home was denied. The push to dismiss over the twenty-seven-year delay was denied. Las Vegas police had his statements by 2009 and waited fourteen years to make an arrest. Davis has burned through three legal teams and picked up a battery conviction behind bars along the way.  He's 63 now, facing life without parole, and he's pleaded not guilty. Mopreme Shakur says his family has waited thirty years to see this case reach a courtroom, and this trial is that moment. Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

After three and a half years of silence, Bryan Kohberger finally spoke — and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott noticed what he left out before she noticed what he put in. His statement calls the case against him "a work of fiction," invites the state to seek the death penalty again, and thanks the people who believe he's innocent. He references the public, the state, his family, his supporters. He never once names Kaylee, Madison, Xana, or Ethan. Scott breaks the statement down line by line — the opening that positions Kohberger as the wronged party, the phrase "my actual innocence is my truth," and a new affidavit accusing his own defense attorneys of telling him guilt wasn't an important factor in taking the plea. Meanwhile, his handwritten petition to withdraw that plea has its own origin story. Reporters traced key phrases in it back to a true crime book — "broken plea" is literally the book's title, and "clumps of hair," the detail Kohberger cites as proof of his innocence, appears nowhere in any court filing. His own defense team once tried to suppress that same book with a cease-and-desist letter. A DNA expert his defense hired had already tested that hair and found it consistent with Ethan Chapin's own, according to PEOPLE. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries joins Tony Brueski to explain why Steve Goncalves — the father who resisted this plea deal hardest — is now the one pushing for a trial and the death penalty, and whether any of what Kohberger filed has a real shot in court. They also walk through the nine-page questionnaire where Kohberger answered "yes" under oath, confirming the plea he's now trying to take back was entered voluntarily. Hashtags #BryanKohberger #IdahoStudentMurders #HiddenKillers #ShavaunScott #BobMotta #DefenseDiaries #EthanChapin #BrokenPlea #KohbergerCase #TrueCrime Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There's DNA sitting in a South Carolina evidence locker that could identify whose skin was under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails the night she and her son Paul were shot to death, and prosecutors trying to convict Alex Murdaugh a second time don't want an independent lab anywhere near it. SLED tested the sample once, said it didn't match the family, and stopped. The defense wants a second opinion from the genealogy lab that helped crack the Bryan Kohberger case in Idaho. The state wants first crack at it themselves, using the same process that already failed, in a procedure the defense argues could use up what's left before anyone independent ever sees it. Ask yourself why. If that DNA is really meaningless, a confirmed result helps the prosecution as much as anyone else. The only reason to block a test is if you're not sure what it says.  The defense has also laid out a pattern they say runs through this whole case: a white T-shirt that tested negative for blood, a blood spatter expert who allegedly reversed his findings after a visit from the lead investigator, and a SLED captain accused of directing subordinates to bury exculpatory results.  Meanwhile, a federal judge threw out Murdaugh's lawsuit against former clerk of court Becky Hill on August 5th, the case his own attorney admitted was built for one purpose: putting her under oath and pulling her records before the retrial. Gone with it is any chance of tracing the anonymous email that got a juror removed from deliberations.  Two doors just closed, five months before Alex Murdaugh goes back to trial for murder. Judge Debra McCaslin, who's overseeing the retrial, has already asked prosecutors point blank how long independent testing would take, a question that doesn't leave much room to keep stalling. Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two families, two very different relationships with the help that was available to them — and this week both stories collided. Lindsay Clancy's murder trial in Plymouth Superior Court just wrapped three days of heavy testimony: Patrick Clancy on the stand for two of them, his 911 call played for a visibly shaken jury, and first responders walking the courtroom through the scene itself. Then prosecutors produced nine prescription bottles. Most still had pills in them. That single detail cuts against the defense's central argument — that Lindsay was overwhelmed by medications her providers kept adjusting. Her lawsuit says a postpartum program discharged her after one day in December of 2022, after providers noted her symptoms might be medication-related and told her to taper off an antipsychotic. She was a labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General. She knew exactly where to go for help — and got a single day of it. Compare that to Nick Reiner, who told reporters in 2015 he'd been through somewhere between seventeen and eighteen rehab stays since around age fifteen, all arranged and paid for by his family, including a yearlong conservatorship. He's now charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner and has pleaded not guilty. Tony Brueski connects what jurors just heard about those pill bottles and that twenty-five-minute errand prosecutors won't stop mentioning, to the bigger question underneath both cases: whether endless access to treatment and almost none of it produce the same outcome, and what that says about the systems built to catch people before this happens. Reiner has pleaded not guilty and no motive has been officially confirmed. Clancy's jury has not returned a verdict, and prosecutors argue she acted intentionally and should be held criminally responsible. Hashtags #LindsayClancy #NickReiner #HiddenKillers #PatrickClancy #PostpartumPsychosis #PlymouthSuperiorCourt #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #InsanityDefense #RobReiner Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Four sworn admissions of deliberate murder. A judge who asked, point blank, whether Bryan Kohberger was pleading guilty because he was guilty — and whether anyone had forced him into it. He said yes to the first question and no to the second, on the record, with his own attorneys standing beside him. Thirteen months later, he's telling a different story. Kohberger's handwritten petition to withdraw his guilty plea in the University of Idaho student murders rests on a specific claim: "clumps of hair" recovered from a victim's hand that he says prove someone else did this. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examined that claim against the actual unsealed record and found the phrase doesn't exist in any forensic report or court filing. It's from a book. The real testing, done by Kohberger's own defense expert, found the hair morphologically consistent with the victim's own. There's also a detail in the petition about who was present during Kohberger's meetings with his own defense attorneys — a claim that, if it goes anywhere, could complicate his case far more than it helps it. Coffindaffer and Tony Brueski go through what prosecutors had lined up before the plea — an amended witness list naming a hundred and eighty people — and why the math facing Kohberger now is brutal: a clean plea colloquy, a defense expert's own findings, and a legal standard that almost never favors petitions like this one. They also break down what was actually recovered from the crime scene, what was tested and what wasn't, and how two separate pieces of hair evidence ended up being reported online as if they were one single, damning detail. Hashtags #BryanKohberger #IdahoStudentMurders #HiddenKillers #JenniferCoffindaffer #EthanChapin #GuiltyPlea #UniversityOfIdaho #MoscowIdaho #KohbergerCase #TrueCrime Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nolan Wells documented everything. Eighteen years old, active on Snapchat, the kind of kid whose phone tells a story. So when his mother, Christine Wells-Wonsley, got that phone back after his death, both of his Snapchat accounts being completely empty wasn't nothing — it was a red flag she couldn't ignore. Nolan went to a July 4 boat party on Horn Island, Mississippi. He was the only one who didn't come home. His body was found two days later in the water, and the sheriff ruled out foul play before the autopsy, toxicology, or the FBI's phone examination were complete. Christine didn't even know he was missing until almost midnight — hours after the boat docked and his friends left with his phone and keys. The official state autopsy is still sealed. The DA says a grand jury will eventually review it, with no date attached. The family's independent autopsy came back "undetermined," in part because parts of Nolan's throat were missing by the time their own pathologist examined the body. On the day they buried him, the family's attorneys sent ten-page preservation-of-evidence letters to everyone connected to the case — the friends, their families, the sheriff's office, the DA, the coroner, the state medical examiner. Nine days later, Christine filed court-ordered subpoenas against five tech companies, demanding GPS data, login histories, direct messages, and password reset records, with a twenty-one-day response window. A contradiction has also emerged between Nolan's friends' account and the account of the girl he allegedly stayed behind to talk to. Attorney Ben Crump is involved. Christine isn't waiting for Mississippi to move — she's building her own case, thread by thread. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick Clancy sat in the witness box for the prosecution in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial — and by the time cross-examination finished, jurors had heard a very different story than the one that put him there. Plymouth Superior Court opened its first full week with a seven-minute 911 call, pajamas and exercise bands entered as physical evidence, and a fourteen-second phone call Patrick received after his children were already gone, with no idea what had happened on the other end of the line. The state leans hard on one detail: Patrick testified that the day before, Lindsay built a snowman with the kids and texted like everything was normal. Prosecutors call that proof she was lucid enough to plan. ADA Buckingham told jurors flatly that people with mental illness commit crimes every day and are still held responsible for them. Then the defense got its turn. Records showed Lindsay checked into McLean Hospital on New Year's Eve. She went to the emergency room. She told providers, repeatedly, about intrusive thoughts involving her own children. Women and Infants Hospital had already flagged overmedication and a possible misdiagnosis — a flag nobody ever answered. What the jury may not expect: both Patrick and Lindsay have filed separate civil lawsuits against the healthcare providers who treated her. The man testifying for the prosecution is, outside the courtroom, blaming the same system the state is asking jurors to look past. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries joins Tony Brueski to unpack what actually hurt the prosecution on cross-examination, what Massachusetts asks a jury with no medical background to decide, and what it means that the children's own father says the doctors failed first. They also break down whether the civil suits undercut the state's timeline, or whether a jury can hold both stories in its head at once. Hashtags #LindsayClancy #PatrickClancy #HiddenKillers #BobMotta #DefenseDiaries #PostpartumPsychosis #PlymouthSuperiorCourt #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #CriminalResponsibility Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nancy Guthrie's kidnapper wrote two ransom notes, and Pima County released both of them in full. The first demanded four million dollars in bitcoin from Savannah Guthrie on a deadline — and included proof-of-presence details that read less like comfort and more like a threat. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down the language line by line: the structure of a man closing out a task, a single slip from "we" to "me," and a sentence about Nancy's mother built to put the weight of what happens next entirely on the family. The second note claims Nancy died not long after she was taken. If the notes are telling the truth in order, the ransom demand went out for someone who was already gone. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer picks up where the note leaves off. Sheriff Chris Nanos told cameras that the case's only person charged, Derrick Callella, received a ten-year sentence. He hasn't been sentenced. The actual plea deal is five years of probation on two counts of harassment by telecommunications device. Coffindaffer explains why a sheriff misstating his own case's only conviction matters — and why, with a million-dollar reward on the table, the FBI director and Pima County's sheriff still haven't spoken to each other directly. Savannah Guthrie posted a new video plea using language that suggests she knows something the public doesn't. And thirty miles from the house Nancy vanished from, a woman was attacked by an intruder who walked through an unlocked door before dawn — described at roughly the same height as the figure caught on Nancy's porch camera. Two experts, one case, and a note that promises nothing it can actually prove. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nolan Wells' autopsy results are sealed, and the woman who performed it has done this before. Dr. Staci Turner, Mississippi's chief medical examiner, ruled a 2021 in-custody death "undetermined" even though her own report documented neck injuries consistent with compression. Three independent forensic pathologists — including Dr. Michael Baden, former chief medical examiner of New York City — reviewed the same evidence and called it a homicide outright. A grand jury used Turner's ruling to decline charges against the deputies who restrained Damien Cameron. One of them, Hunter Elward, is now serving time in federal prison for the Rankin County "Goon Squad" torture cases — just not for Cameron's death. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer walks through what that history means now that Turner holds the results of Nolan Wells' autopsy. The district attorney controls when, or whether, those results get unsealed, and there's no deadline forcing the issue. Coffindaffer also examines what it says that Nolan's mother, Christine Wells-Wonsley, filed subpoenas the same day she buried her son. That's not the move of a family that trusts the process. Attorney Ben Crump represented Damien Cameron's family. He represents Nolan Wells' family now. Same state, same examiner, same attorney circling back to a system that already failed one family in a documented way. Nolan died near Horn Island, and in the time since, the pace of this investigation has tested whatever trust his family had left. None of this proves what happened to Nolan Wells. It proves the office responsible for telling us has a credibility problem it never fixed — and this family already knows it. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A murder trial without a weapon, without DNA, and without the person who allegedly pulled the trigger sounds impossible. In Las Vegas, it's happening. Duane "Keffe D" Davis faces one count of murder with a deadly weapon and a gang enhancement in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur. He's 63, has pleaded not guilty, and has been jailed since September 2023. Prosecutors aren't arguing he fired the shots. Their theory is that he was the shot caller, the person who gave the order and provided the gun, riding in the front passenger seat of the white Cadillac that pulled alongside Tupac at a red light near the Strip. The alleged shooter, Davis's nephew Orlando Anderson, denied involvement and died in Compton in 1998. Judge Carli Kierny has ruled what the state does have admissible. After his arrest Davis reversed course entirely, telling ABC News he's innocent and made it all up for money. Every defense motion has failed, including the immunity claim built on a 2008 proffer agreement with an LAPD task force. Las Vegas police had those 2008 statements by 2009 and made no arrest for fourteen years. Tupac's family has waited three decades for a courtroom.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eric Faddis is a defense attorney and a former prosecutor. In this session, he covers three active criminal cases that share a common thread: in each one, the defendant's own words are the most consequential evidence in the proceeding.Kohberger told a judge he was guilty. He signed a questionnaire. He endorsed his plea under oath. Now he says his lawyers made him lie — and his petition to withdraw the plea could put the death penalty back on the table.Clancy's journal entries were read aloud in a Massachusetts courtroom. "I feel like I'm drowning every day." The prosecution says that proves lucidity. The defense says it proves freefall. Meanwhile, the state's own psychiatrist admitted psychosis can look like cooperation.Keffe D spent fifteen years telling police, television producers, and book readers that he was in the car when Tupac was shot. He published a memoir. He gave a proffer. Now he says it was all fiction — and a Las Vegas jury is about to decide.Faddis assesses each case from both sides of the courtroom — prosecution vulnerabilities, defense strategies, and who's actually in control.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A screening form is only as good as what the patient is willing to write down — and today's testimony in the Lindsay Clancy trial made that painfully clear. Dr. Jennifer Tufts, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother's psychiatrist, described a patient who checked every box for "not a threat" right up until she wasn't. Clancy is charged with strangling her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing insanity via postpartum psychosis and overmedication.Tufts testified Clancy denied being suicidal, homicidal, or manic on her intake and risk forms, and showed no signs of psychosis or auditory hallucinations. But Clancy also told Tufts she was concerned about her own alcohol use — up to five days a week — alongside a long list of other mental health issues, and impulsive behavior was never assessed. Tufts started her on Zoloft, a breastfeeding-safe first option, and recommended therapy, though Clancy was reluctant to medicate. Raising the dose from 25 to 50 milligrams brought side effects, including intrusive thoughts that she might die — not active suicidal thoughts, Tufts clarified, but ideation nonetheless. Tufts said Clancy didn't fit Major Depressive Disorder, even as her depression visibly worsened in the days before January 23. Still, nothing in front of Tufts read as an active threat.Prosecutors maintain Clancy knew what she was doing. She allegedly tried to take her own life afterward by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband Patrick was running errands at the time and has since moved to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When Alex Murdaugh's lawyers sued Becky Hill in federal court, the $600,000 damages claim was the paperwork. The plan underneath it was bigger. Jim Griffin described it at the press conference: subpoena power, depositions, and an investigation into exactly what she did, including the question the state never answered, whether she acted alone.A civil lawsuit was the one mechanism that could reach Hill's personal accounts and force her testimony. She isn't a party to the murder case, her plea deal ended her criminal case without cross-examination, and the Supreme Court ruled from juror transcripts without ever questioning her. The list of people who have examined Becky Hill under oath about the jury she managed stands at zero, and the lawsuit existed to change that before the April 2027 retrial.Judge Gergel dismissed it on August 5, 2026. His logic: the murder charges created Murdaugh's legal bills, and Hill didn't create the murder charges. This episode covers the four assets the defense lost in those five pages, from the government misconduct argument her records could have supported to the cross-examination material the investigator depositions could have handed them for use against SLED at the retrial, and the footnote that leaves a path back after the trial ends.Hosted by Tony BrueskiJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Jennifer Tufts, the psychiatrist who treated Lindsay Clancy in the months before the killings, took the stand today in the Duxbury, Massachusetts murder trial — and her testimony reads like a paper trail that missed everything. Clancy is accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Tufts testified that Clancy filled out suicide risk and mental health screening forms, and on paper, she checked out — not suicidal, not homicidal, not manic. No signs of psychosis. No auditory hallucinations. What the forms didn't capture: Clancy told Tufts she was worried about her own drinking, up to five days a week, on top of a long list of other mental health concerns — and impulsive behavior was never flagged. Tufts prescribed Zoloft, a first-line option considered safe for breastfeeding, and referred Clancy to therapy. Clancy was hesitant about medication. When the dose went from 25 to 50 milligrams, she had side effects — including intrusive thoughts that she might die, though Tufts said there was no active suicidal ideation attached to it. Tufts testified Clancy's depression worsened as January 23 approached. She still didn't consider her a threat.Prosecutors argue Clancy understood what she was doing regardless of her mental state. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Duane "Keffe D" Davis told police he was in the white Cadillac when Tupac Shakur was shot in Las Vegas in 1996. He told BET the same story in a documentary. He published the same account in his 2019 memoir "Compton Street Legend" — describing how he allegedly provided the weapon and ordered the hit on Tupac after his nephew was beaten by Tupac's crew at the MGM Grand.Fifteen years of consistent self-placement at the scene of one of the most famous unsolved murders in American history. Then he got arrested. Now Davis says he fabricated everything to make money.His murder trial is set to begin in Las Vegas. He faces life without parole if convicted. The case is built on a foundation almost entirely composed of the defendant's own statements — a 2008 police proffer, documentary appearances, media interviews, and a published book.The alleged shooter, Orlando Anderson, has been dead since 1998. The murder weapon has never been found. The judge ruled the 2008 proffer is admissible at trial despite the defense's argument that Davis was promised immunity.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down the prosecution's strategy, the immunity dispute, and whether Keffe D's own words are enough to convict him thirty years later.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Commonwealth spent Day 8 of the Lindsay Clancy trial calling the people who knew her best, and their testimony is the reason this episode matters. Hidden Killers takes you inside Plymouth Superior Court for the full day of August 6, witness by witness.Her coworker of seven years described a lunch where Lindsay admitted insomnia, brain fog, and a difficult mental place, then read a text from the day before the killings about finding the right medication. A therapist friend recalled Lindsay saying she felt like a zombie at her own daughter's birthday party. A lifelong friend shared a message about dark thoughts on medications she was tapering. A preschool teacher remembered 5-year-old Cora saying she missed her mom during Lindsay's stay at McLean Hospital. And Patrick Clancy's father, the children's grandfather, told the jury she was a great mother in an all-American family.Every one of those witnesses came from the prosecution's list. So did the medical examiner who performed Callan's autopsy, the pediatrician who saw Cora the morning of the killings, and the case detective who agreed on cross-examination that a search for abuse evidence came up empty.Prosecutors allege a functioning woman who made choices. The defense argues a mind that had broken in ways the people around her could not see. This episode walks through both readings of the same testimony, the single Facebook post prosecutors pulled from her account, and the fight over three defense doctors that started the moment the jury left the room.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Alia Goodheart, a psychiatrist at McLean Hospital, took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Under defense cross-examination, Goodheart testified that Clancy's discharge plan amounted to a website and an insurance card — she told Clancy to check Psychology Today and her own coverage to find follow-up care. Goodheart also admitted she never reviewed prior records from the nurse practitioners and other providers who'd already treated Clancy, and she confirmed Clancy told her she was having intrusive thoughts of suicide. No blood work. No screening tools. Not even the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale — the standard test built for exactly this situation. On redirect, prosecutors tried to soften the blow, stressing that discharge instructions did tell Clancy to contact a personal provider. Whether that line survives what came before it is now the jury's problem.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is on trial for the deaths of her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Three witnesses this week gave the jury three very different windows into who Lindsay Clancy was before that day. Kimberlee Hardy, former Child Service Director at the Kingsbury Club, described a mother who was shy, reticent, and reluctant to even bring baby Callan around — she said she was worried about him catching a cold. On cross, Hardy conceded Clancy always seemed happy with her kids. Sarah Carney, closer to Patrick Clancy than to Lindsay, testified Lindsay had been exercising heavily and had grown noticeably thinner through the fall and winter of 2022 — but otherwise just "quiet."Then came the witness that actually matters: Dr. Alia Goodheart, a psychiatrist at McLean Hospital. She walked the jury through how patients land at McLean — through the ER, either involuntarily under Section 12 or voluntarily under Section 10. Clancy came in voluntarily in January, unable to sleep without medication and struggling with side effects. Goodheart's own records showed suicidal ideation with no plan, no notations of psychosis, and a "minimal risk" rating. Clancy described feeling emotionally numb and rejected a possible bipolar diagnosis. Goodheart considered postpartum depression, diagnosed insomnia tied to a mental health condition — and cleared her as no threat to herself or anyone else.That last part is the one the defense wants this jury to sit with.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger took four consecutive life sentences in July 2025 specifically to keep the death penalty off the table. Thirteen months later, he filed a handwritten petition trying to undo his guilty plea — and the death penalty came right back into the conversation.His petition for post-conviction relief alleges his lawyers coerced him, hid exculpatory evidence, and told him actual guilt didn't matter. He claims he was advised to lie in court. He says his defense team fabricated a story about death row to scare his family into supporting the deal.Idaho's legal standard for withdrawing a guilty plea after sentencing is manifest injustice — an extraordinarily high bar. Kohberger signed a nine-page questionnaire confirming his plea was voluntary. He told the judge under oath he was guilty. He answered yes to every safeguard question designed to prevent exactly what he's trying to do.A new attorney, Gregory Rauch, has been appointed to represent him. The attorney general says Idaho stands ready. The families of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin say they welcome a trial.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis assesses the petition's legal viability, what the prosecution's response will look like, and whether Kohberger understands the gamble he just made.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial is into its first full week of testimony at Plymouth Superior Court, and the prosecution's case is already raising a question it may not want the jury asking: whose theory does the evidence support?Thirteen psychiatric medications. A hospital admission three weeks before the incident. A journal documenting a woman begging for help. A toxicology report showing every drug within its therapeutic window — as if the combination of thirteen separate mind-altering substances doesn't matter if each one passes on its own.Defense attorney Kevin Reddington conceded the government's case-in-chief. She killed her children. The blood matches. The physical evidence is not in dispute. That tactical move saved the prosecution from calling dozens of witnesses — but it also reframed the entire trial around the only question that matters: was Lindsay Clancy criminally responsible?The prosecution's own psychiatrist admitted under cross-examination that psychosis can present as calm cooperation. The state's expert just undercut the state's argument.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines the prosecution's strategy, the defense's gamble, and what the jury is actually hearing after week one of testimony.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Warren Hudson lost the friend he'd had since high school and then could not stand at his funeral, and no prosecutor has ever charged him with anything. There is a version of the Nolan Wells story that has been repeated so many times it stopped needing evidence. Three young men went to Horn Island with an eighteen-year-old on the Fourth of July, the eighteen-year-old didn't come home, and the internet filled in the rest. Warren Hudson, Jax Pitalo and Morgan Seymour have been named, photographed and accused across every platform there is. Nobody has been charged. No evidence implicating any of them has been released by anyone. This episode looks at what one of their fathers actually did while all of that was happening, and it is not what the accusations would predict. Beyond that, we go through the paperwork that exists. What the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources documents say. What the distress call from that day contains. Why Nolan's parents say the account of him staying behind doesn't sound like their son, and why that objection deserves a serious answer. What Dr. Roger Mitchell's independent autopsy did and did not find. And where the official state report is sitting. There's also the matter of who has actually been arrested here — three federal threat cases, aimed at a judge, at courthouse employees, at a witness, at a chancery clerk's office. None of them suspects. Add the hate mail sent to Nolan's mother before his funeral and a pattern becomes obvious. Mississippi has a documented record that makes distrust of its institutions completely reasonable. Rankin County. Hayne and West. A medical examiner's office buried in backlog. All of that is real. None of it is proof about a specific teenager, and confusing the two has cost this case something it can't get back.END LINKSSupport Nolan Wells' Friends' Legal Fund: https://www.givesendgo.com/stand-with-nolan-wells-targeted-friendsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, was back in Plymouth Superior Court as jurors heard from two very different witnesses. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.First up: Kyle Carney, a friend of Patrick Clancy's, who testified that the day of the killings looked like nothing at all — normal, unremarkable, a good day. No warning signs. Then Massachusetts State Police Trooper Andrew Chiachio took the stand and the mood in the room changed. He detailed pulling surveillance footage from a nearby CVS and Three V Restaurant, and revealed that six months after the incident, investigators got a warrant to swab the outside of the Clancy home for possible DNA. A second warrant targeted Facebook, surfacing a May 2021 post from a parenting support group where Clancy described every day with Dawson as a battle. But on cross, Reddington got Chiachio to admit something that cuts the other way — no evidence Clancy was ever abusive toward her son turned up anywhere. The jury was dismissed after the two testified.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood what she was doing despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

Two witnesses who knew Lindsay Clancy from opposite sides of her life took the stand today in her murder trial — and together they complicated the story more than they simplified it. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, with attorney Kevin Reddington mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Amy Bevins, a licensed behavior analyst for autistic children who's known Clancy for 29 years, testified that Dawson's delivery was difficult — but that right before the killings, Lindsay actually seemed hopeful. On cross, she admitted the two of them had texted repeatedly about how hard the prescribed medications were to tolerate, and that after the tragedy, on her mental health providers' advice, they simply stopped discussing the children at all.Then came Christopher W. Clancy, Patrick's father, describing a daughter-in-law who was fiercely protective of baby Callan, though he'd noticed real frustration when it came to Dawson. He confirmed what's becoming a running theme in this trial: trouble sleeping, an ER visit, real strain — but by his account, Lindsay mostly seemed to be in good spirits. Two witnesses, two vantage points, and a jury left to reconcile "hopeful" and "good spirits" with what happened days later.Prosecutors still argue Clancy understood exactly what she was doing. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and remains paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick, was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy's former nanny walked into Plymouth Superior Court and gave the prosecution exactly what they asked for — she confirmed Lindsay never mentioned urges to harm herself. Then she gave the defense something the prosecution didn't plan on. She told the jury Lindsay was a wonderful mother who loved her kids and was concerned with their safety. She said she loved Lindsay. And she said it while Lindsay sat at the defense table sobbing, head in her hands, unable to look up for the duration of the testimony.Day 7 of the trial ran as a half-day session that packed more into a single morning than most full trial days. A physician assistant described wrist lacerations requiring stitches while calling her neck injuries superficial. A DNA analyst matched each child's DNA to a specific exercise band. And a forensic toxicologist confirmed Seroquel levels were slightly elevated but nowhere near toxic — then conceded on cross that the numbers alone don't tell the entire story of what those drugs were doing to her.The stipulation Clancy's defense agreed to the day before is already reshaping the trial timeline. Dozens of chain-of-custody witnesses eliminated. The defense's postpartum psychosis experts are getting closer to the jury. And the prosecution's own witness just gave the courtroom one of its most devastating images — a mother who can't look at the woman describing the children she allegedly took.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Four witnesses took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Susan Bertolo, a former teacher at Learning Sprouts, testified that Cora needed the bathroom more often than usual and, at one point, was upset that her mother was in the hospital. Fellow Learning Sprouts teacher Stephanie Williams told the court she saw no signs of depression in her interactions with Clancy. Then came the more complicated testimony. Mass General labor and delivery nurse Andrea Hennigan — who has no formal PPD training but has screened patients for it — said she socialized with Clancy and that Clancy told her she was worried about returning to work because of insomnia. On cross, Hennigan acknowledged Clancy had numerous doctor's appointments and had been placed on multiple medications with side effects, while still describing her as a loving, attentive mother. Marriage and family therapist Bethany DeCollibus, a friend of Clancy's, testified Clancy seemed more tired after Callan was born and never appeared suicidal — but told her she felt like "a zombie."Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

Three witnesses took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.The clinical parts of this case are the hardest to sit through, and today didn't spare anyone. Dr. Kimberley Springer, the medical examiner, testified to the autopsy findings for Callan — cause of death was complications from mechanical asphyxiation, strangulation by ligature. Clinical language for something that shouldn't need a definition.Then came the pediatrician, Dr. Lindsay Rosshart, who'd seen all three kids and, by her account, saw nothing alarming in Clancy either — no signs of postpartum depression, and on cross-examination she went further, calling Clancy a good mom. That's the tension this trial keeps circling back to: a woman everyone around her says looked fine, and three children who are dead.Susan Fraone, a preschool teacher at Learning Sprouts, added a smaller but pointed detail — drop-offs were hard for Dawson. Whether that means anything beyond a toddler having a rough morning is for the jury to decide.Prosecutors maintain Clancy understood what she was doing. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down.

Savannah Guthrie went on camera and said the family would pay. The deadline had not passed. And the next note that arrived was not a counteroffer. It was an apology. Eight sentences. No location. No demands. Just an explanation that Nancy died shortly after she was taken and that they are truly sorry.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines what the second note reveals about the writer — the shift in register, the claim about her physical condition, the phrase buried in nature, and whether a man who walks away from millions and writes about finding peace is showing remorse or closing an account.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of The Minds of Mass Killers.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Pima County Sheriff's Department released both notes in full because they want the public to recognize a man by how he writes. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott goes through the first note line by line with Tony Brueski — the demand structure that reads like an invoice, the proof-of-presence details that almost nobody outside the investigation knew, the shift from we to me, and the line about Nancy that stops the conversation cold when you put it next to the second note's timeline.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of The Minds of Mass Killers.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution's own lead witness walked out of the courtroom and filed a civil lawsuit against the people who were supposed to help his wife. Patrick Clancy is not suing to punish Lindsay. He is suing the doctors. Both he and Lindsay filed separate suits naming the providers who prescribed, adjusted, and failed to monitor seven medications that were in her blood that night.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries examines what the defense extracted from cross-examination — testimony that no provider warned Patrick it was unsafe to leave Lindsay alone with the children despite her ER visits and documented intrusive thoughts. Motta covers the documented fact that Women and Infants Hospital identified overmedication, reached out to her nurse practitioner, and never heard back. He also addresses what it means to ask a jury of non-medical professionals to decide whether someone was sick enough to lack criminal responsibility.Tony Brueski and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Twenty-six felony charges. That’s what’s still pending against Kouri Richins in Summit County, Utah — separate from the murder conviction that already put her away for life. Five counts of mortgage fraud. Seven counts of money laundering. Forgery. Bad checks. Communications fraud. And a charge that says it was all one continuous pattern.The murder case showed you how Eric Richins died. These charges show you who Kouri Richins was while he was alive. Prosecutors allege she used Eric’s power of attorney to secretly take out a two-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-dollar line of credit on his premarital home. She allegedly funneled that money into a real estate company that was losing more every month than it earned in five. She allegedly forged his bank documents, wrote bad checks to herself, and borrowed from more than two dozen lenders while defaulting on most of them.But it’s the friend that tells you the most about who this woman is. According to prosecutors, Kouri signed a rent-to-own agreement with her best friend, collected forty-five thousand dollars for a down payment, and used every cent to cover her company’s debts. The property already had more than four hundred thousand in loans against it. When the lender foreclosed, the friend’s family was thrown out of the house Kouri had promised them.This episode breaks down every charge, follows the debt spiral from the first stolen dollar to the day Eric died owing nearly five million, and exposes the prenuptial clause that made his death the only scenario where Kouri could access what she needed — and the trust Eric secretly built to make sure she couldn’t.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Lindsay Clancy trial is playing out in Plymouth Superior Court. The prosecution says her best day is proof she planned what happened. Her husband testified for the prosecution and then sued her doctors. The defense says seven medications were in her blood and a hospital identified the problem before it was too late and nobody responded.In Idaho, Bryan Kohberger wants to take back a guilty plea for four murders using arguments traced to a true crime book. The evidence he says was hidden was already examined by an expert his lawyers hired. The family that opposed the plea deal is daring him to go to trial.Bob Motta of Defense Diaries covers both cases with Tony Brueski — the emotional architecture of the prosecution in Plymouth, the defense case built from the prosecution's own witnesses, and the Kohberger petition's legal reality.Tony Brueski and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

SLED found DNA from an unknown, unrelated male under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails at the Moselle crime scene. The defense says the agency catalogued it and never pursued it further. Now Dick Harpootlian and the defense team are demanding that an independent lab — the same forensic genealogy operation that helped crack the Idaho student murders and decades-old cold cases — test the last remaining reserve sample before SLED can run additional tests using the same method that already came back incomplete. Prosecutors pushed back hard. They told the judge the unknown profile is too partial to mean anything and that trace DNA under fingernails can transfer through casual contact. They called the defense's request an exercise aimed at public consumption. The defense fired back with a documented history of how SLED handled other biological evidence in this same investigation — including a white T-shirt that tested negative for human blood before a blood spatter expert allegedly reversed his conclusions after a visit from the lead SLED investigator. The defense's filing alleges that a SLED forensic administration captain directed her team to stop running exculpatory tests and suppress the results they'd already generated. If the prosecution is right that this DNA is meaningless, letting an independent lab confirm that only strengthens their case at retrial. The pretrial hearing on August 14th could decide whether the sample gets tested independently — or whether SLED's methodology consumes what's left first.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The language in Bryan Kohberger's handwritten post-conviction petition mirrors a true crime book published in April 2026. The key evidence term he uses appeared nowhere in court records — only in the book. And the evidence he claims was hidden was already tested by an expert his own defense team hired.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries examines the petition against the record. He covers the nine-page questionnaire Kohberger signed confirming his plea was free and voluntary, Steve Goncalves welcoming a retrial and saying the family will pursue the death penalty, and the historical pattern of defendants who tried to undo death-penalty-avoidance pleas and failed.Motta also addresses the one question that hangs over this entire filing: is there a single defense attorney in the country who would take Kohberger to trial carrying a signed confession and a sworn admission under oath?Tony Brueski and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, faced a courtroom day built entirely on physical evidence and personal history. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Plymouth Superior Court Judge William F. Sullivan opened proceedings by reading stipulations both sides have already agreed to — no dispute needed, no argument required. The exercise bands used in the killings carry DNA from Lindsay Clancy, Patrick Clancy, and the children on their ends. And blood found in the basement of the Summer Street home has been confirmed to belong to Cora. Those are facts now, not allegations.From there, former Massachusetts State Police criminalist Katarina Stashyn walked the jury through how DNA testing actually works and what the results from the case's physical evidence showed — the kind of testimony that turns a crime scene into a data set.Then came the human piece. Elaine Rossi, the family's nanny, testified about her time working for the Clancys, including conversations in which Lindsay confided she was struggling with postpartum depression. It's the connective tissue between the forensic timeline and the defense's psychiatric argument — and it's not going away.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution's witness called Lindsay Clancy's injuries superficial. It was exactly the word they needed — evidence that her attempt wasn't genuine, that she staged what happened after killing her three children at their Duxbury home on January 24, 2023. Then the defense asked the surgeon two questions she couldn't answer. She didn't know her patient had coded at Brigham and Women's Hospital. She didn't know about the massive blood transfusion. The doctor who gave the prosecution their strongest word had no idea her patient nearly died.Day 6 at Plymouth Superior Court brought prescription bottles and forensic evidence. Prosecutors lined up thirteen bottles — most of them nearly full — and walked the jury through the math. The defense countered with a single detail: every one of those prescriptions was written within three weeks. Toxicology confirmed five psychiatric medications in Clancy's system. Nothing recreational. Nothing illicit. Post-mortem testing on all three children found no substances at all. And before the jury entered the courtroom, Clancy spoke for the first time — agreeing to stipulate to every piece of physical evidence. The defense isn't contesting what happened. They're arguing why.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is on trial for the January 24, 2023 killings of her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — inside the family's Summer Street home. Prosecutors allege she strangled the children with exercise resistance bands. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Today's testimony was clinical, and that's exactly what made it hit. Physician Assistant Eitan Negri described treating Clancy's wrist injuries — the kind of detail that sounds procedural until you remember what it's attached to. Then came the numbers. Nicholas Roberts, formerly of the Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab's toxicology unit, walked jurors through the drug levels found in Clancy's blood and urine. And Dr. Justin Brower, a forensic toxicologist, went further: he testified that despite the list of medications on board, the levels measured were within therapeutic range. Not an overdose. Not a fog of overmedication in the way the defense has been framing it. Just numbers doing what numbers do — sitting there, refusing to spin the story either way.That's the needle this trial keeps threading. The defense needs the drugs to explain the unexplainable. The prosecution just needs the toxicology report read out loud. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution at Plymouth Superior Court spent its first week doing something specific. Not just presenting evidence — building a sequence. The 911 call first. Then the pajamas. Then the exercise bands. Then the fourteen-second phone call. By the time any psychiatric expert takes the stand, the prosecution is betting the jury has already decided.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries joins Tony Brueski to examine the prosecution's approach — from the "best day" testimony to the argument that Lindsay was doctor shopping, to ADA Buckingham's opening statement that people with mental illness commit crimes every day and are held responsible.They cover whether the prosecution's evidence sequence is designed to prove intent or overwhelm a defense before it begins, what happens when jurors absorb emotional testimony before hearing clinical explanations, and what Massachusetts law actually requires for criminal responsibility.Tony Brueski and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Whether Bryan Kohberger gets a new trial in the Idaho student murders may turn on a clump of hair, and almost every outlet is reporting that evidence wrong.The centerpiece of his bid to undo the guilty plea is hair. He says clumps of it were found in Ethan Chapin's hands, that it wasn't his, and that his own attorneys never told him it existed before he signed away his trial.Almost every outlet covering the Idaho student murders is reporting that wrong, and the correction matters.There are two separate pieces of hair evidence in this case. One was recovered from Chapin's hand — and according to PEOPLE, a DNA expert hired by Kohberger's own defense tested it and found it consistent with Chapin's own reference hair. The second is a set of strands a forensic scientist found stuck to a bed frame, who told Fox News Digital the FBI lab excluded Kohberger. Those are not the same item, and the difference decides whether this petition means anything.Tony works through what the hair could prove at its absolute best, and why the attorney for one victim's family says it isn't the exoneration it's being sold as. Unknown hair inside a home where six young people lived, with visitors coming and going, doesn't undo a knife sheath, a cotton swab pulled from a garbage can in Pennsylvania, or a purchase record from months before the killings.There's also the part of the story that explains the timing of the plea itself. Prosecutors filed a witness list. A name appeared on it. He folded.And the man who discovered the disputed hair wasn't a reporter or an investigator chasing the case from outside. He was working for the defense. That single fact takes the floor out from under the claim that anything was hidden.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A forensic psychiatrist and a Duxbury police sergeant gave two very different but equally pointed pieces of testimony this week in the Lindsay Clancy trial. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is charged with three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation in the deaths of her children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — who prosecutors allege she strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Dr. Jhilam Biswas, a forensic psychiatrist, walked the court through her initial assessment of Clancy, including how she evaluated her for safety and state of mind. Biswas testified that symptoms of psychosis vary widely from person to person — then told jurors that in the roughly 20 minutes she spent communicating with Clancy, she saw no signs of active psychosis. That's a number the defense is not going to love repeated.Sgt. Robert Flynn of the Duxbury Police Department testified about being present when State Police executed the search warrant at the home. He stated there was no damage to the window or screen involved in Clancy's alleged fall, and confirmed State Police took over the investigation from there.Clancy is accused of attempting suicide after the killings by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Testimony in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial moved from the courtroom's emotional register into its clinical one this week, and somehow that was harder to sit through. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Plymouth Superior Court Judge William F. Sullivan opened the afternoon by reading stipulations both sides had already agreed to on the children's toxicology results — the kind of procedural moment that saves the jury a fight over numbers neither side disputes. Then came the science. Alicia Zimmermann of the Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab walked the jury through how toxicology testing actually works when the person who died is a child, a process built for adults and adapted, carefully, for the smallest bodies imaginable. After her came Sherri Crook, who supervises the State Police Crime Scene Response unit, breaking down blood spatter analysis — the differences between spatter, pooling, and smearing — and applying that framework directly to what investigators found inside the Clancy home.None of it was theatrical. All of it mattered. This is what a strangulation case actually runs on: not gut feelings, but lab reports and pattern analysis that either back up the state's timeline or don't. Prosecutors Jennifer Sprague and Shanan Buckingham are building toward showing Clancy understood what she was doing. The defense needs the psychiatric picture to swallow the physical evidence whole.

Before Dr. Staci Turner ever touched Nolan Wells' case, she ruled a previous in-custody death "undetermined" — contradicting her own autopsy findings of neck injuries consistent with compression. Three national forensic experts reviewed the same evidence and said homicide. The deputy at that arrest walked free until federal prosecutors convicted him in the Goon Squad cases. Now Turner holds Nolan Wells' sealed autopsy results, the DA won't set a date to unseal them, and nobody has ever reviewed Turner's prior ruling or her continued fitness for the office. Retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer walks through the credibility problem — even if Turner's work on Nolan's case is flawless, the trust gap created by Cameron means the results carry an asterisk before anyone reads them. This conversation covers the institutional framework that protects the process without ever being accountable to the families demanding answers.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial moved from crime-scene documentation into toxicology this week, and the picture got more complicated. Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother charged with strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and Kevin Reddington's insanity defense hinges on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Trooper Johnathon O'Loughlin of the Massachusetts State Police walked the jury through the photographs, drawings, and notes he made of items of interest in the case — the visual record everything else gets measured against. Then things got more pointed. Hillary Griffiths of the Crime Lab's toxicology unit testified to the drugs actually present in Clancy's blood at the time of the killings. Lisa Yelle, who worked toxicology at the lab when the incident occurred, explained the "general unknown screens" run on Clancy's blood and urine — tests that check for hundreds of substances and return a simple detected or not-detected result. No editorializing, no guessing. Just what showed up and what didn't.That's precisely the kind of testimony an overmedication defense either leans on or has to explain around. Prosecutors Jennifer Sprague and Shanan Buckingham let the numbers speak. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. The trial continues before Judge William F.

Before Dr. Staci Turner ever touched Nolan Wells' case, she ruled a previous in-custody death "undetermined" — contradicting her own autopsy findings of neck injuries consistent with compression. Three national forensic experts reviewed the same evidence and said homicide. The deputy at that arrest walked free until federal prosecutors convicted him in the Goon Squad cases. Now Turner holds Nolan Wells' sealed autopsy results, the DA won't set a date to unseal them, and nobody has ever reviewed Turner's prior ruling or her continued fitness for the office. Retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer walks through the credibility problem — even if Turner's work on Nolan's case is flawless, the trust gap created by Cameron means the results carry an asterisk before anyone reads them. This conversation covers the institutional framework that protects the process without ever being accountable to the families demanding answers.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What connects the Nancy Guthrie disappearance, Bryan Kohberger's plea reversal, and Nolan Wells' sealed autopsy? The institutions tasked with answering for each of them. Retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer covers all three cases in one conversation — the sheriff who can't describe his own conviction, the petition built on a book instead of court records, and the medical examiner whose prior ruling let a deputy walk until federal prosecutors caught up with him for something worse. Three investigations where the people in charge have given the families more reasons to doubt than to trust. Three families who decided not to wait.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother charged with strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, was back in Plymouth Superior Court this week as the Commonwealth built its forensic timeline. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and defense attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Today's witness wasn't flashy, but she mattered. Maureen Hartnett, a technician with the Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab, walked the jury through the forensic evidence she personally collected — some of it from the Summer Street home, some of it directly from Lindsay Clancy. That included blood drawn from the defendant herself. It's the unglamorous part of a murder case: nobody's writing a movie about swabs and vials. But it's also the part that becomes load-bearing later, when the defense and prosecution start arguing about what was — or wasn't — in Clancy's system that day.Prosecutors Jennifer Sprague and Shanan Buckingham are laying that groundwork now. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, before Judge William F. Sullivan in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to run several more weeks.Links: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Officer Richard Lippard of the Duxbury Police Department testified that he spent sixteen hours in a hospital hallway watching Lindsay Clancy lie motionless. She was sedated and unconscious at South Shore Hospital, then MedFlighted to Brigham and Women's in Boston. She never spoke a word during his entire watch. Under cross-examination, Lippard confirmed that a Code Blue was called for her room overnight — meaning she was dead or dying.The testimony came on Day 4 of Clancy's murder trial after the jury walked through the family's former home at 47 Summer Street in Duxbury. Jurors inspected the basement, both floors, and the exterior — including the second-story window and the yard below it. A detective who met Clancy at the hospital described her as sedated and unconscious with deep lacerations across her neck and wrists. Photographs of the injuries and blood in the bedroom were shown to the jury.Two emergency room doctors then testified about treating three-year-old Dawson and eight-month-old Callan. Dawson was worked on for forty minutes before being declared dead. Callan's heart was restarted but he never regained brain function and died at Boston Children's Hospital days later. Clancy was visibly emotional as both doctors described the effort.Every witness Friday was a prosecution witness. And the prosecution's own officer confirmed their defendant was dead or dying the same night they allege she was performing.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, is on trial for three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty. Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is arguing insanity — severe postpartum psychosis, made worse, he says, by psychiatric overmedication.Today moved fast, and not because the details got smaller. Clancy stipulated to a batch of facts — the kind of move that saves the prosecution from parading witness after witness just to establish a chain of evidence nobody's actually disputing. Efficient. Doesn't mean easy to sit through.Dr. Cristina Carpio, a general surgeon at South Shore Hospital, testified about treating Clancy for the fall and the spinal injury that followed — the injury that's left her paralyzed from the waist down. Then Massachusetts State Trooper Joseph Rabbitt took the stand and walked the jury through what investigators found in the kitchen that night: medication bottles. Multiple. He testified that Patrick Clancy brought additional bottles into the house in February — and detailed exactly how much medication was left in each one when police counted.That's not background noise. That's the defense's whole architecture, one pill bottle at a time.Patrick Clancy was out running errands when it happened. He's since relocated to Manhattan and spoken to The New Yorker about his wife's mental health. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court, expected to run several more weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger's petition to withdraw his guilty plea rests on evidence he says his lawyers never told him about — specifically, what he calls "clumps of hair" from a murder victim's hand. Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired FBI, breaks down why that claim doesn't line up with the record. The phrase comes from a book, not a court filing. A defense expert already tested hair from the same hand and matched it to the victim. And Kohberger told a judge under oath, four separate times, that he killed each of them deliberately. This conversation covers the evidence gap between the petition and the forensic record, the prosecutor's broken promise to the families, and the one person who would have to sacrifice her career to give Kohberger any chance at a second trial.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nancy Guthrie has been missing from her Tucson home for six months. In that time, exactly one person has been convicted of anything — Derrick Callella, who pled guilty to sending fake ransom texts to her family. When Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos described that conviction publicly, he stated a sentence that doesn't match the plea agreement. Retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down what that tells us about the investigation's trajectory, the total communication failure between the FBI and the sheriff's office, and what Savannah Guthrie's latest video plea — the most pointed language she has ever used publicly — might signal about where this case is heading. This conversation covers the institutional cracks, the similar home invasion thirty miles away, and whether law enforcement dysfunction in Pima County is making the community less safe.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A first date. A movie. Two souvenir cups. And a shallow desert grave north of Phoenix that was allegedly dug before the opening credits rolled. Arianna Bailey Jones was twenty-one, a mother of a two-year-old, and she'd just reconnected with her biological mom after eighteen years apart. On July 5, 2026, she went out with a man named Domonic Rodolico. He picked her up. They went to Harkins Theatre. Cameras caught them leaving. Then cell phone data tracked both phones into a remote stretch of desert near Lake Pleasant — and forty-five minutes later, Arianna's phone went silent.Investigators pulled Rodolico's location history and discovered he'd visited that same desert area multiple times before the date even started. At the scene: concrete bags, mix, gloves, water bottles — the equipment the affidavit calls evidence of a "well-planned" murder. Rodolico gave detectives four different stories. Each one fell apart. He admitted the last one wasn't true. He's now charged with first-degree premeditated murder and held on two million dollars bond.Arianna's mother Sophia spent the week after her disappearance handing out flyers, hoping she was alive. The family is now pushing for the death penalty. A two-year-old boy lost his mother to what prosecutors say was a first date planned around a killing. This is the first time we're covering Arianna's case — the full story from the beginning.End LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three Massachusetts State Police witnesses took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Trooper Mark Farioli testified he collected six blood vials and a urine sample from Clancy at the hospital, executed under a search warrant — the kind of evidence collection that doesn't happen unless investigators are already building a case. Trooper Leah O'Connell, who worked as a forensic evidence tech at the time, walked the jury through how that evidence was logged and moved through the chain of custody, the unglamorous paperwork trail that's supposed to keep a case from falling apart on a technicality. Trooper John Santos testified about executing the search warrant on the Clancy home itself, where investigators found books, workbooks, and pamphlets about postpartum depression and prescription medications — material the defense may lean on, and material prosecutors will likely frame differently.None of it is dramatic on its face. All of it is foundational. Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three active cases, thirty questions from the audience, and nobody pulling punches.The Lindsay Clancy trial put Patrick Clancy on the stand for two days, played his 911 call to a jury that could barely hold together, and showed prescription bottles that challenge the overmedication defense. The Nolan Wells investigation has two autopsies, no cause of death, a sealed state report, and a girl whose family's account of his last hours contradicts his friends' story. The d4vd hearing put a nineteen-million-dollar motive on the record, showed bodycam of a lie told to a deputy over a year before the killing, and laid out a timeline of evidence purchases that reads like premeditation on a credit card statement.Tony answers all thirty. The evidence. The contradictions. The system failures. The questions nobody in any of these cases seems willing to answer.End Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The day Christine Wells-Wonsley laid her eighteen-year-old son Nolan to rest, her legal team was already moving. Ten-page preservation-of-evidence letters went out to Nolan's friends, their families, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, the district attorney, the coroner, and the Mississippi State Medical Examiner. Every institution and individual in the chain received the same message: litigation is anticipated, and nothing gets deleted.Nolan Wells went to a July 4 boat party on Horn Island with friends and never came home. His body was found two days later by a park ranger. The sheriff concluded no foul play before the autopsy results, the toxicology, or the FBI's digital evidence review were complete. The DA then sealed the official autopsy behind a grand jury she hasn't scheduled.His mother wasn't going to wait for that process to play out. She got Nolan's phone back from his friends and found both Snapchat accounts empty. She compared Life360 and Snapchat location data and found they didn't match. On July 29, she filed court-ordered subpoenas against five major tech platforms — demanding GPS data, login histories, messages, and password reset records. Twenty-one days to produce everything.The family is building a parallel investigation alongside the criminal one, and the preservation letters ensure nobody in the official chain can claim their records were lost.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Sejal Shah, a psychiatrist involved in Lindsay Clancy's hospital treatment, testified this week, and her account moves the trial squarely into the medical territory the defense has been building toward. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation over the deaths of her children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — who prosecutors allege she strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is arguing an insanity defense rooted in severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Shah testified about Clancy experiencing delirium during her hospital stay and told the court Clancy changed her health care proxy over to her parents — a decision that, however it gets read by either side, says something about where things stood. Shah went on to describe Clancy's broader mental health picture at the time, testimony that's likely to sit at the center of both the prosecution's and the defense's closing arguments once this trial gets there.The alleged strangulations were followed by an alleged suicide attempt — Clancy is said to have jumped from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands during the killings and has since relocated to Manhattan, where he's spoken to the press about his wife's mental health. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nineteen million dollars. That is what an Interscope executive testified d4vd's contract was potentially worth. His financial manager said he had already earned more than ten million. Prosecutors say Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old and threatening to talk — and that the money is the reason she is dead.Over five days, prosecutors laid out a timeline that allegedly begins when Celeste was eleven and ends with her remains in a Tesla trunk while d4vd headlined festivals and appeared on late-night television. The evidence included chainsaws, bodycam footage, an inflatable pool, texts about an abortion, and a notarized form from her parents permitting her to travel overseas with him.This is your Q&A. Ten questions from the audience. The money. The evidence. The system failures.

Two of the medical staff who treated Lindsay Clancy in the hours and days after the Duxbury killings took the stand this week, and between them they laid out exactly what the state of Massachusetts was dealing with in that hospital room. Clancy, 34, is charged with three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation in the deaths of her children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — who prosecutors allege she strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She's pleaded not guilty and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is running an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Trauma nurse Rachelle Amedee testified she treated Clancy in those first critical hours, and told the courtroom that once Clancy could communicate — using a whiteboard, since she couldn't speak — one of the first things she asked for was her attorney. Make of that what you want, because the prosecution certainly will. ICU nurse Meghan Collins followed with details on the treatment Clancy received during her stay, filling in the medical picture of a woman who allegedly jumped from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down.Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands when it happened. He's since relocated to Manhattan and spoken publicly about his wife's mental health. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two witnesses took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.First up was Dr. Kelly McDonough, an emergency medicine physician, who described Clancy's arrival and treatment at the hospital. It should have been routine. It wasn't — Reddington's cross-examination turned hostile as the doctor repeatedly couldn't recall specific details of treating Clancy, and he made sure the jury noticed.Later, Sgt. Rose Stoffers of the Massachusetts State Police Crime Scene Services Section brought the day back to procedure, describing how she met with forensic scientists at South Shore Hospital to document Clancy's injuries — the unglamorous groundwork that ends up mattering when a case comes down to competing narratives.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to run several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three physicians took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Dr. Michael Snyder of Beth Israel Hospital, Dr. Andrew Capraro of the ER at Boston Children's Hospital, and Dr. David Casavant of the ICU at Boston Children's Hospital walked jurors through the children's arrival and treatment — and the brain injuries caused by prolonged oxygen deprivation. The damage was most severe in Callan, the youngest of the three, whose seven-month-old brain had the least capacity to withstand it. These weren't abstract medical terms for the jury. They were a roadmap of exactly what strangulation does to a small child's body, delivered by the people who tried to reverse it and couldn't.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court before Judge William F. Sullivan, is expected to last several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nolan Wells' friends docked the boat that afternoon. They had his phone. They had his keys. They went home. And for hours, nobody picked up a phone and called Christine Wonsley to tell her that her son was still on an island ten miles offshore with no cell service and no way home.She reported him missing at midnight. By then, the window for a nighttime search was closing and the questions were already multiplying. Why did he stay? Who was he with? And why does every account of his last hours on that island contradict the next one?Tony answers the ten questions you have been asking — about Katie McCormack, the missing throat, the sealed autopsy, the death threats against the friends' families, the race of the only kid who did not come home, and what the governor of Mississippi thinks about the people demanding answers.End Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three days of testimony in Plymouth Superior Court have turned the Lindsay Clancy trial into something nobody predicted. Her ex-husband testified for two days, described thirteen medications and a woman who could not sleep, could not stop the intrusive thoughts, and could not get a single provider to catch what was happening. He forgave her publicly. He defended her on the stand. Then the jury heard him screaming into 911 that she killed their children.In the middle of all of it, prosecutors showed the jury nine prescription bottles recovered from the Clancy home — most of them still containing pills. The defense built its case on overmedication. Those bottles raise a question nobody was expecting.Tony takes on the ten hardest questions the audience sent this week — from the medications to the 911 call to whether the doctors should be the ones standing trial. Your questions, his answers, no filter.End Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old when her parents signed a notarized travel consent form that put her on an international trip with musician David Anthony Burke, known to fans as d4vd. Weeks later, her dismembered body turned up in his Tesla, and the family's story hasn't stopped shifting since the arrest. LAPD Detective Corey Farell testified that both families knew about the relationship long before anyone called it a crime. There was a Las Vegas trip with Celeste's sister tagging along, VIP concert seats, and church visits together. Then, after Burke's arrest, Celeste's father told reporters he'd never had any contact with the musician at all — a claim that doesn't square with the record now in front of the judge. Now the defense is working an entirely different angle. Attorney Blair Berk pressed the medical examiner on whether Celeste's injuries could have occurred after death, and got a detective to read messages where Celeste referenced harming herself, an attempt to muddy exactly how and when she died. Burke has been held to answer on first-degree murder with special circumstances, along with charges connected to illegal conduct with Celeste and unlawful mutilation of her remains. The death penalty is on the table. He's pleaded not guilty. Arraignment lands August 31st. Two families that apparently knew everything. A father who now says he knew nothing. A defense team building its case around a dead teenager's old texts. This one keeps getting harder to look away from, and the hearing is far from over. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For six months, Savannah Guthrie's public messages to whoever took her mother Nancy followed the same pattern: proof of life, a willingness to talk, an open door. On July 27th, that pattern broke. The new video dropped the demands entirely. In their place was something that sounded like acceptance rather than negotiation — and it landed the same week investigators couldn't agree among themselves on whether the case's ransom notes are genuine. One report called all of them fake. Another said some might be real. A third ranked the original two as more credible than not. Tony Brueski connects the timing: a family's language shifting toward forgiveness right as the evidence underpinning the entire kidnapping theory came apart in public, three different ways, in the same week. He also covers Derrick Callella's guilty plea for posing as a kidnapper and sending fake messages to the family during an active abduction, the dozen separate Bitcoin-demand emails TMZ received from someone else entirely, and the DNA testing that began in February with no results shared five months later. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer has posted a ten-point challenge to investigators, including why the enhanced photo of the man known as porch guy has never been released. Nancy Guthrie has been missing for nearly six months. Her daughter's words just changed. This episode covers why. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger's guilty plea was supposed to close the Idaho student murders case. A handwritten petition filed from his cell on July 27, 2026 says otherwise, and it opens by turning on the three attorneys who kept him off death row. Kohberger, representing himself now, calls their work ineffective. He argues he was convinced to falsely confess and that he agreed to the plea based on a gross misrepresentation of what life without parole would actually mean. He doesn't write that he's innocent. He writes that his innocence is his truth, which is a very different sentence to build a legal argument on. Tony Brueski walks through what's actually in the filing, how a judge is likely to weigh a pro se petition against a plea that was entered in open court with Kohberger affirming it himself, and what changed in the twelve months between that plea and this reversal. There's also the detail that reached the New York Times before it reached his own mother — a choice that says something about who this petition is really for. At sentencing, Kohberger stayed silent when Judge Hippler gave him the chance to speak. He walked past his mother without turning his head. Kaylee Goncalves' sister was sitting close enough to watch it happen. This episode breaks down the petition line by line, the families it reopens old wounds for, and what happens next in a case a lot of people thought was finally over. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick Clancy lost his three children on January 24, 2023. Now prosecutors have put him on the stand as their first witness against the mother of those children, and the exhibit they built the moment around was a bag of nine pill bottles. Assistant District Attorney Shanan Buckingham told the jury this trial is not a conversation about how the medical system treats women. Then her office spent the afternoon walking Patrick through four months of prescriptions, one bottle at a time, asking how much was missing from each. The defense sees it differently — thirteen prescriptions from more than one prescriber in four months, with nobody adding it up until it was too late. Tony Brueski breaks down what the state is actually trying to prove with that exhibit, why the defense might be just as happy to see it in front of the jury, and what it cost Patrick Clancy to be the one reading those numbers out loud in a courtroom. There's also the detail almost nobody is talking about: the specific number Patrick gave investigators early on, the one that sent him to find his own attorney before this case ever reached a jury. This is the exhibit both sides think proves their case. This episode covers why they can't both be right. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What was on Celeste Rivas Hernandez's fingers before prosecutors say two of them were removed. That's the detail sitting in a court brief that most coverage of this case hasn't touched, and it's the thread running through everything we cover in this breakdown of the d4vd preliminary hearing. A call went out from David Burke's phone at 12:04 in the morning, from an empty stretch of road in Santa Barbara County, to Celeste's number, hours after prosecutors say she was already dead. An LAPD criminalist testified that Bluestar sprayed across a garage floor lit up on rubber mats, the bricks beneath them, a rowing machine, a tarp, a charging cord, and a trash bag of wipes. All presumptive positive. Defense attorney Blair Berk pushed back hard, getting the criminalist to admit she can't call it definitively blood, and raising two chainsaws that were never swabbed. Then the hearing's final session. The medical examiner testified Celeste died from two sharp-force wounds and had been dead for weeks before her body was found. A detective walked jurors through her phone records, messages dating back to when she was eleven years old, close to fifty images labeled illegal material involving a minor, and texts from January 2024 showing she was thirteen and pregnant. Her mother cried in the gallery through the testimony. Burke has pleaded not guilty to every count. The bindover ruling is expected soon. We take every piece of evidence the state put forward and hand it to the defense to answer. None of it lands on a jury's desk until a judge weighs every piece of it first. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A judge asked Bryan Kohberger, under oath, whether he was pleading guilty because he was guilty. He said yes. Thirteen months later, that exchange is the exact thing threatening to sink the petition he just filed to take it all back. Representing himself, Kohberger filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court, telling the New York Times that his actual innocence is his truth and calling the investigators' account a work of fiction. Before any of that reached a court, he got to a prison phone and called a reporter. Not a lawyer. Not a filing. A newspaper. What followed has put the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin in a position they were promised in writing they'd never be in. The petition alleges ineffective assistance of counsel, evidence his defense team failed to disclose, and a distorted picture of what a life sentence and death row would actually look like, with threats and false promises blamed for the original confession. He's also said he'd welcome prosecutors seeking the death penalty again if this goes to trial. There's a procedural detail most coverage has skipped: the appeal waiver he signed never blocked a challenge to whether the plea itself was valid, which is the entire basis for this filing. The Goncalves family answered within hours, dismantling the petition point by point. There was never a trial, never a cross-examination, and no motive was ever put on the record. We go through the filing, the phone call, and the sentence that may undo both. None of this gets decided by a headline. A judge in Ada County reads it next. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There's a music video where d4vd drags a body across the floor and loads it into a car. Prosecutors now allege he did the same thing his character did, to a fourteen-year-old girl, and that overlap is the thread running through everything else in this case. Before the fame, David Burke was a homeschooled teenager recording songs on an iPhone in his sister's closet, building an audience inside Fortnite lobbies. Prosecutors say that's also where he met Celeste Rivas Hernandez, years before either of them were adults, and the relationship kept going while no adult around either of them intervened. At seventeen, signed to Darkroom and Interscope, Burke created an alter ego called Itami, pain in Japanese, an agent of chaos wearing a blindfold, a concept he traced to a manga about a detective whose alter ego commits the murders he then has to solve. He compared it to Tyler Durden. The videos put a bloody knife and a severed arm on screen. Then the forensic testimony from the preliminary hearing. A trace analyst matched cuts on a garage pool to fragments on Celeste's clothing. DNA tied the Tesla and the home to her. A criminalist described blood scrubbed from the garage floor, steps from containers of fake blood. Cell tower records tracked Burke's Tesla to Santa Barbara County three separate times after she allegedly died. Celeste went to Burke's Hollywood Hills home on April 23, 2025. She was fourteen. Her remains were found in his Tesla months later. Burke has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, illegal acts involving a minor, and mutilation of human remains. We go through the persona, the industry that profited from it, and the physical evidence now on the record. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two opening statements, one courtroom, and a medical record that doesn't match either version cleanly. This is what jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial heard on day one at Plymouth Superior Court, broken down clip by clip from both sides. The prosecution's theory rests on a clock. A takeout order. A pharmacy stop. A phone call that lasted fourteen seconds. ADA Shanan Buckingham is arguing that this level of organization proves Lindsay Clancy knew what she was doing. The research on postpartum psychosis tells a more complicated story about whether a mind in crisis can still function and plan, and this episode goes through what that research actually says. Then Kevin Reddington's defense opening, built around three claims the prosecution needs to hold together at once, that Lindsay Clancy faked being sick, faked a suicide attempt that left her paralyzed with a burst spinal fracture and every rib broken, and invented hearing voices. Reddington read the prescription chart into the record, thirteen medications across five providers in four months, and had Patrick Clancy testify that his wife told him about intrusive thoughts and suicidal ideation months before their children died. There's also the detail sitting quietly in the middle of it all: an appointment on the calendar for the day before the deaths that the prosecution's opening never brought up. And a one-word choice, superficial, used to describe injuries that left her unable to walk. We also cover the Massachusetts legal standard from 1967 that could decide whether this ends in prison or a locked psychiatric facility. None of it gets resolved in an opening statement, and the trial is only getting started. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

An eighteen-year-old goes to a boat party on Horn Island for the Fourth of July. Two days later, a park ranger finds his body. The state calls it settled. His family's own pathologist won't sign off on that, and Ben Crump made the reason public at the NAACP National Convention: the second autopsy on Nolan Wells lists the cause and manner of death as undetermined, and non-accidental factors could not be ruled out. The first autopsy, the one the state performed, retained his throat. The trachea, the hyoid bone, the laryngeal cartilage, the parts a pathologist checks specifically when compression might be involved. Whatever the state found in those structures has stayed with the state, and nobody outside a small circle of officials knows what it says. Meanwhile, there's a viral clip everyone assumed showed Nolan in his last recorded moments, and one of the men who was physically in the water that day is now telling investigators that voice belongs to him. He said it in a statement before he ever said it out loud to a camera, which changes how you have to read everything that came after. We lay out everything that's actually been released in this case against everything still sealed, including a Mississippi statute about autopsy access that almost nobody has mentioned on air. The district attorney has referred the case to a grand jury, which means subpoena power the sheriff never had, sworn testimony from everyone who was on that island, and phone records that don't get to be rewritten later. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer explains what that phone evidence is likely to show and why Rasheem Carter's case, and Rankin County's history, matter to how this one plays out. None of this resolves on its own, and the grand jury is only getting started. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A jury is now seated in Plymouth Superior Court to decide something nobody fully agrees on: whether Lindsay Clancy was criminally responsible when her three children died. Eight days before it happened, she told her doctors what was going on inside her mind, and the record of what she said is now part of the case both sides are building. The prosecution isn't disputing that she killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan Clancy. ADA Jennifer Sprague argues she mapped her husband's errand route on Apple Maps, calculated the window, and used exercise bands deliberately. To the Commonwealth, that's a woman who knew precisely what she was doing. The defense doesn't dispute the deaths either. Kevin Reddington is arguing postpartum psychosis, backed by a medical record showing thirteen psychiatric medications in four months, an ER visit, a McLean Hospital admission, and a husband who told doctors she'd turned into a zombie. The court denied a motion to split the trial into two phases. Then there's the whiteboard. Intubated and unable to speak after it was over, Lindsay Clancy wrote one question, and it's a detail that cuts straight to what this whole trial is trying to determine. Patrick Clancy is on both witness lists, called first by the prosecution and expected to testify for the defense as well. He's filed a malpractice suit against her doctors and told a reporter he wasn't married to a monster. We also walk through the Andrea Yates case, where a first jury convicted and a second jury acquitted on strikingly similar facts, and what that means for a Massachusetts jury operating under an even higher legal bar. Two juries have looked at nearly identical facts before and split completely. This jury still has to choose. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Celeste Rivas Hernandez's parents signed a notarized document authorizing their daughter to travel to London for a week with d4vd. No family member accompanied her. She was thirteen or fourteen at the time. Defense attorney Blair Berk presented that form during the final day of the preliminary hearing — and it directly contradicts her father's public statement that he never had any contact with Burke.The hearing ended with Judge Olmedo ruling there's enough evidence for trial on every count, including first-degree murder with special circumstances. The DA is weighing the death penalty. But the testimony that lingers is about the adults in Celeste's orbit — parents who took her phone away and called police, then signed permission slips for international travel with the man deputies had already told them was involved with their daughter.Burke has pleaded not guilty. Celeste was fourteen years old when prosecutors allege she was killed.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two cases. Two dead teenagers. And a pattern: the adults who were closest to both of them either denied what they knew or hired attorneys to talk for them.Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s father said he never knew d4vd. Testimony showed he signed a travel form and sat in church with the man prosecutors say killed his fourteen-year-old daughter. In Mississippi, one of the friends on Horn Island with Nolan Wells retained a lawyer who announced defamation lawsuits and a PI firm before anyone in authority said a word about how the eighteen-year-old died.Former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines the legal exposure on both sides — the parents who allegedly facilitated a relationship in California and the friends’ legal blitz in Mississippi — and the institutional silence that made all of this worse.Burke has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Nolan Wells’ cause of death is undetermined.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

One of the friends on Horn Island with Nolan Wells on July 4th didn’t just hire an attorney — he hired one who announced nationwide defamation lawsuits, retained a PI firm to track down social media users, and publicly declared that adding “allegedly” to a post won’t save you.Former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down what a legal offensive of this size means before a grand jury has even convened — and whether the investigation’s twenty-five days of public silence is the real reason an attorney is doing the talking the DA should be doing.The official autopsy is sealed. Nobody has been cleared. Nobody has been named. The family’s independent pathologist couldn’t determine how Nolan died. And the only public accounting of that night comes from the friends’ legal teams.Nolan Wells was eighteen.

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty. Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Today the state kept building its timeline from the ground up. Duxbury Police Officers Mark Anthony Maffeo and Richard Lippard — among the first through the door — walked the jury through what they found and the state Clancy was in when they arrived. Emergency physicians Dr. Mark Josephtenerowicz and Dr. Benjamin Kaufman took the stand next, describing her physical condition on admission and the injuries sustained by the children. Lab Supervisor Melissa Arcadipane rounded out the day, walking jurors through the clinical findings that came out of processing.None of it was easy testimony to sit through, and it wasn't meant to be — this is the prosecution laying brick by brick, witness by witness, before Reddington gets his turn to argue none of it means what it looks like. Clancy is now paralyzed from the waist down after allegedly jumping from a second-story window following the killings. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court before Judge William F. Sullivan, with Assistant District Attorneys Jennifer Sprague and Shanan Buckingham leading for the prosecution.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Officer Brian Josephine was standing over Lindsay Clancy in a snow-covered Duxbury backyard when the screaming started inside the house. What he did over the next several minutes came out on the third day of testimony in her murder trial, and it is the kind of account that stays with a jury.He and Officer Stephen Hall went in. The children's father met them, frantic, telling them he couldn't wake them up. They went to the basement. Josephine testified that only the eight-month-old had a pulse at all, and it was faint. Then, in his words, based on his training and previous incidents, he knew it wasn't going to be good.What he did next is in this episode.Also covered: the fire captain who watched through a basement window from outside, the retired firefighter pulling a stretcher from an ambulance in the driveway when an officer came running out of the house, the paramedic who described exactly what she did for an infant over a defense objection, the firefighter who worked a five-year-old with a defibrillator, and the second ambulance called for the children's father in the kitchen.CBS News Boston counted ten first responders on the stand. Every one of them testified about an act Lindsay Clancy's own attorney conceded on the record before opening statements. Her defense is lack of criminal responsibility — postpartum psychosis, and a voice her lawyers say she heard. Prosecutors allege she acted deliberately. Not one expert on that question has testified yet.The day ended at 12:07 in the afternoon. The prosecution ran out of witnesses, and Judge William Sullivan told the room the trial is ahead of schedule.Tony Brueski on what that morning was really for.If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available any time — call or text 988.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In a case involving a body found in a Tesla trunk, chainsaws ordered under a fake name, and a thirteen-to-nineteen-million-dollar record deal as alleged motive, Blair Berk’s defense team pressed the LA County medical examiner on whether Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s wounds could have been self-inflicted. They got a detective to read messages where Celeste referenced harming herself.Former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down what that defense strategy means — and whether arguing self-infliction in a dismemberment case is genuine legal theory or manufactured reasonable doubt designed to survive a jury poll.Prosecutors mapped the timeline from first contact when Celeste was eleven to a twenty-one-minute window on the night she disappeared. Bodycam from February 2024 shows deputies told Burke she was thirteen. The relationship allegedly continued fourteen more months until she was dead.Burke has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is held without bail. Celeste was fourteen years old.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s father made a public statement through his attorney after David Anthony Burke’s arrest: he’d never had any contact with the singer. Five days of preliminary hearing testimony contradicted every word of it.Detective Farell testified the parents knew. Burke attended the family’s church. Celeste’s sister traveled with them to Las Vegas. A notarized consent form bearing the parents’ signatures sent their thirteen-year-old daughter to London with a grown man. Celeste was reportedly pregnant at thirteen while her parents were allegedly aware of the relationship.Former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down the legal exposure facing the adults who signed the documents, issued the denials, and allegedly watched their daughter travel internationally with the man now charged with her murder.A teacher tried to intervene. Deputies visited Burke’s home and confirmed she was there. Nobody with the power to stop it did. Burke has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Bart Edmiston — one of the friends who was on Horn Island with Nolan Wells on July 4 — has retained attorney Russ Latino and is preparing defamation lawsuits against the people who accused him online of killing Nolan. His lawyer says Bart already provided his boat, GPS data, and phone to investigators. He's cooperated fully. And he just received a credible death threat because of what his attorney calls "wholly fabricated" claims.Filing a defamation suit opens the door to the one thing fabricated claims can't survive: discovery. Depositions under oath. Subpoenas that pull every text and every GPS coordinate into a courtroom. Nobody volunteers for that process if they have something to hide.Ben Crump filed subpoenas to Snapchat, TikTok, WhatsApp, Meta, and Life360 — requesting login histories, IP addresses, password resets, GPS data, and message records. Both sides agreed to a mutual cell phone inspection. The data comes back in twenty-one days. When it does, the Snapchat question gets an answer based on evidence, not speculation.The internet manufactured an entire case file out of a debunked pool photo, an altered audio recording, and AI-generated fakes of Nolan's mother. Every viral accusation made the investigation harder, not easier. And the kids at the center of it — the friends Nolan grew up with, played football with, went to that island with — are carrying death threats for something nobody has proven they did.End LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Years before Moscow, Idaho, Bryan Kohberger was a nineteen-year-old fresh out of rehab who stole his sister's phone, sold it at a mall kiosk for less than half its value, and warned his father not to do anything stupid when he got caught. Then his family went to work. They fixed him.Community college. A bachelor's degree. A master's. A doctoral program in Washington State. By every measure available, they had won. Melissa used the word "proud" in an interview, and she'd earned it.What came back through that door carried two degrees and did what was done on King Road. And the reflex — whoever is closest is a lever, and levers get pulled — never changed. A courtroom walkout without looking at his mother. Video calls for hours, every day, for months. A birthday cake baked to his specifications from behind reinforced glass. A post-conviction petition filed July 27 naming the three lawyers who kept him off death row, with a reporter at the Times notified before his own family.This is not a case breakdown. It is not petition analysis. It is an open letter to the people who rebuilt Bryan Kohberger, asking them to consider that the door they've been holding open stopped leading somewhere a long time ago. That letting go doesn't cost them their decency, and that setting down the weight is not the same as pretending it never existed.Madison Mogen was twenty-one. Kaylee Goncalves was twenty-one. Xana Kernodle was twenty. Ethan Chapin was twenty. Their families carry those names forever. The Kohberger family still gets a choice.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Both Bryan Kohberger and Lindsay Clancy are asking the legal system to accept an account of something nobody else can see, and the two requests could not be less alike. Full conversation on both cases here.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski. Her background runs through private practice, community mental health, crisis teams, and forensic programs across more than thirty years.Kohberger admitted the University of Idaho murders in open court, waived his appeal, and was sentenced to four consecutive life terms. A year later he filed for post-conviction relief representing himself and told a national newspaper his actual innocence is his truth. The segment covers that phrasing, his allegations against his former attorneys, the effect of a year of silence on a person's self-account, and the timing of his statement against a documentary premiere built around the four students who died.Clancy's trial turns on whether she was criminally responsible. She does not deny killing her three children. The segment covers the prosecution's framing of her treatment history as manipulation, the medication timeline her defense presented, why a stable-looking afternoon is consistent with psychosis rather than evidence against it, and what a not criminally responsible finding actually triggers in Massachusetts.The through-line is not that these two are similar. It is that only one of them is making a claim a clinician could ever evaluate.Scott also takes the question sitting underneath both segments, which is what a courtroom is actually built to evaluate. Juries assess credibility, motive, and behavior. None of those tools were designed for a psychotic illness, and none of them work on a man asserting a private truth about himself a year after saying the opposite under oath.Follow Hidden Killers for continuing coverage of both.For help with postpartum mood disorders, contact Postpartum Support International at postpartum.net or call or text 800-944-4773.

There's a difference between asking someone to return your mother and asking someone to tell you where to find her. Savannah Guthrie crossed that line on July 27th. In a video posted to Instagram and addressed to whoever took Nancy Guthrie from her Tucson home, Savannah used language she's never used before. She offered empathy. She offered something close to forgiveness. And she stopped using the word "home" entirely.This episode examines what Savannah actually said and what it means — line by line. It also explains the timing: within the same week, Crime Junkie read the first ransom note aloud on air for the first time, FBI Director Kash Patel publicly accused the Pima County Sheriff's Department of losing evidence by keeping federal agents out for four days, and the sheriff's office shot back. Two agencies fighting while an eighty-four-year-old woman's family sits in front of a camera begging for a location.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Testimony resumed in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Duxbury firefighter-paramedic Daniel Dougherty testified about placing Clancy in a stabilizing neck collar and treating her in the ambulance. On cross-examination, the discussion turned to cold exposure and whether it could have restricted her blood flow — the kind of detail that sounds clinical until you remember why it matters to the defense's theory of her state that day. Duxbury Police Officer Vincent Cahill followed, describing the scene as he found it: the children, the equipment he brought in to try to help, and his own hands-on effort assisting with CPR on Cora. Not the kind of testimony anyone forgets giving.Prosecutors continue to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial is now in recess and set to resume Friday morning in Plymouth Superior Court, where it's expected to continue for several more weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Prosecutors in the Lindsay Clancy trial did not tell the jury she was untreated. They told the jury she manipulated her doctors, looked for a quick and easy fix, and then quit trying.Tony Brueski brings that to psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, whose career covers private practice, community mental health, crisis teams, and forensic programs, and the conversation goes exactly where it should go.Because there is a competing account of the same behavior sitting in the record. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington told jurors she had no motive and wanted off the drugs. Her malpractice suit alleges the medications she was prescribed made her worse, that she reported that to her providers, and that her care was uncoordinated across too many prescribers.A labor and delivery nurse is not an unsophisticated patient. She is the most system-literate person who will ever sit in that chair. If she could not get correctly diagnosed inside institutions that specialize in this, the question of who the system is actually working for stops being rhetorical.Also covered here: what the prosecution's argument about a single hallucinated voice actually requires jurors to assume about psychosis, and why postpartum psychosis not appearing as its own diagnosis in the DSM matters for the expert testimony coming.Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and does not dispute that she caused the deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan. The trial is about criminal responsibility and nothing else.Scott also addresses what outside observers consistently misread when someone with a serious psychotic illness looks fine for an afternoon. It is one of the most common assumptions in cases like this one, and one of the most damaging.Follow Hidden Killers for the rest of the trial coverage.For help with postpartum mood disorders, contact Postpartum Support International at postpartum.net or call or text 800-944-4773.

Three first responders took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Duxbury firefighter-paramedic Patrick Dwyer described arriving to a scene most people spend their careers hoping to never see, working to resuscitate Cora before rushing her to the hospital. His colleague, Jennifer Stratton, testified to performing CPR on Callan — a baby who, by every account of that day, never had a chance to grow past seven months old. Then came Pembroke's Robert Costanzo, who tried to help Clancy herself, administering Narcan on the assumption she'd overdosed on opioids. She didn't wake up. Costanzo wasn't trained to treat benzodiazepines, which raises an obvious question about what exactly first responders are equipped to identify in the first sixty seconds of chaos. Under cross-examination, he admitted he never noticed the fractures later found in Clancy's spine, and that his hands-on time with her totaled about seven minutes — nowhere near enough to assess the true scope of her neck and wrist injuries.Prosecutors argue Clancy understood what she was doing despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, she allegedly jumped from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands and has since relocated to Manhattan.

The prosecution put Patrick Clancy on the stand first in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, and across two days at Plymouth Superior Court, they got something they probably didn't want. A portrait of a medical system that prescribed without monitoring, referred without following up, and discharged without warning the one person who needed to hear six words: do not leave her alone.Patrick testified to Lindsay's spiral after their third child — the insomnia, the ER visits, the rotating prescriptions, the voluntary admission to McLean Hospital. He told the jury she kept a journal tracking every pill. He said nobody ever told him his wife posed a risk to their children. Meanwhile, the prosecution walked nine prescription bottles past the jury, many still full, arguing the medications weren't taken. Tony breaks down what those bottles actually prove — and it isn't what the state thinks. Plus the seven-minute 911 call that stopped the courtroom cold, the man's voice Lindsay says she heard that night, and why the defense just filed a motion that could force prosecutors to stop misleading the jury about her internet searches.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three Duxbury Fire Department first responders took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Captain PJ Hussey, a firefighter and paramedic who responded to the scene, described what awaited the crews that night. Loring "Chuck" Nudd, a Duxbury EMT now retired, testified he was in the first ambulance to arrive — he walked the jury through what he saw as the children were brought up from the basement and what his crew attempted in those first frantic minutes. Keith Nette, a firefighter and paramedic, testified he worked to treat 3-year-old Dawson inside the ambulance. None of them needed to editorialize. The facts did the work.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court before Judge William F. Sullivan, is expected to last several weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two of the first responders to reach the Clancy home took the stand today, and together they gave the jury its clearest picture yet of what happened inside that house on January 24, 2023. Officers Stephen Hall and Brian Josephine were the first Duxbury police to arrive on Summer Street, where prosecutors say Lindsay Clancy, 34, strangled her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.Hall testified that he encountered Clancy outside the home before heading in and finding the three children in the basement. Josephine, who arrived alongside him, described that same discovery and the attempt to resuscitate Cora at the scene. Neither officer dressed it up. They didn't need to. Two men describing the worst minutes of their careers in flat, procedural language did more work than any narration could.This is how prosecutors build a case before it gets complicated — scene first, established plainly, by the people who were actually there. The psychiatric arguments, the competing theories about what Clancy understood and when, all of that comes later. Today was about what the record now shows happened in that house, in that order, to those three kids. The trial continues at Plymouth Superior Court, expected to run several more weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger waited a year to speak about the Idaho student murders, and then chose the seventy-two hours before a Netflix documentary about the case went live. The timing is the story.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, whose career runs through private practice, community mental health, crisis teams, and forensic programs, take apart the question of who he was performing for.The premiere of The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare had been public since mid-July 2026. Director Skye Borgman said the whole design of the series was to move the attention off the case and back onto the four students. Kohberger's statement went to the New York Times on the Sunday. His petition hit the Ada County docket on the Monday. The series arrived Wednesday, into a news environment where his name was everywhere again.He also used his statement to thank the people who believe in his innocence and keep analyzing the case. That group exists. During the sentencing, Kaylee Goncalves' mother received a message from someone claiming ties to serial killers, telling her she knew Bryan was innocent, and saying they had handed her address to a would-be killer in Moscow.Scott has spent decades around what that kind of attention does to the person receiving it, and the historical parallels are not subtle. Holmes. Lucas. Confessions that grew and shrank in exact proportion to who was watching.The episode ends where the Goncalves family put it, on whether any of us should be covering him at all.The conversation also looks at what the documentary was designed to do against what actually happened. Berlinger and Borgman built a series around family interviews and bodycam footage never released before, framed as the definitive account of the case. It arrived into a news cycle that was about the man again. That outcome was predictable to anybody reading a calendar.Follow Hidden Killers for the full conversation.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A year after Bryan Kohberger admitted to the University of Idaho murders in open court, he wants the whole thing thrown out, and the way he says so is stranger than the fact that he says it at all.His statement to the New York Times contains the line that his actual innocence is his truth. Not a denial. Not a claim of fact. A truth belonging to him personally, which is the sort of thing people write when the alternative has become unlivable.Tony Brueski brings in psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, whose career spans private practice, community mental health, crisis teams, and forensic programs, to work through the psychology underneath the filing.The petition itself claims ineffective assistance of counsel, claims he was convinced to falsely confess, and claims his lawyers told him a false plea would hand him a legal victory. Those are his allegations, and his former attorneys have not responded publicly to them. But strip the legal language off and one piece of the argument is simply that nobody explained how bad prison would be. He has had a year to find that out.So which is it. A man discovering he made a terrible deal, or a man discovering he cannot live inside the version of himself that deal locked in permanently?The conversation also goes to the silence. Given the floor at his own sentencing, with the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin sitting feet away, he declined to speak. A year later he picked up a phone. Same man, same voice, two completely different rooms.Before any of that, he signed a nine-page questionnaire confirming he understood he was surrendering his right to appeal and might never be permitted to withdraw the plea later. He initialed his way through it in front of the judge.Hidden Killers goes past the filings and into the people.

There is a bag sitting in evidence at the Lindsay Clancy trial that both lawyers are going to reach for, and it holds nine prescription bottles that are almost completely full. That bag went into the record on the first day of testimony, entered by the prosecution, in front of the father of the three children who died. Patrick Clancy took the stand as the Commonwealth's opening witness. Prosecutors walked him through the marriage, the three deliveries, the maternity leaves, and the anxiety that arrived every single time his wife had to go back to work as a nurse. Then they handed him the pill bottles. The counts came out one at a time. Seven gone from a Zoloft prescription filled in September of 2022. Six out of thirty gone from an Ativan prescription filled in October. A bottle with two gone, a bottle with three, a bottle that had never been opened at all. Asked whether he knew any of those numbers, he said no, and added that context mattered. Nobody was counting. That is the whole case in one sentence, and both sides know it. This episode takes the exhibit apart and shows you why the state's strongest piece of paperwork might be the defense's too, why the family videos the prosecution played work against the argument they were played to support, and what Patrick Clancy told investigators that eventually sent him to a lawyer's office. It also covers the sentence the state pulled out of him about how his wife seemed the day everything happened, and why a jury of twelve women and six men is going to hear expert testimony fight over those few words for weeks.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Part two of Patrick Clancy's cross-examination continued today in the murder trial of his wife, Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling their three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington picked up where he left off, still working to establish that Lindsay's actions in the months before the killings were driven by fear and instability, not calculation. Patrick again testified that she was afraid to return to work — not because she resented the job, but because the thought of being separated from her children was too much for her to handle. Reddington also returned to the medication issue, reinforcing through Patrick that Lindsay only took a few pills of each prescription because that's what her doctors told her to do, not because she was refusing treatment.It's a continuation, not a pivot — the defense is laying the same brick twice to make sure it holds. A jury that hears "doctor's orders" once might forget it. A jury that hears it reinforced across multiple lines of questioning is a different story.Prosecutors still have to convince that jury she understood what she was doing that day. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

One episode, two cases, and the same question running through both.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, who led the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, cover the Lindsay Clancy trial openings and Bryan Kohberger's move to undo his guilty plea.The Clancy portion covers Patrick Clancy's testimony about January 24, 2023. A doctor's appointment with Cora. Photos traded by text. A snowman in the yard. His statement that she was having one of her best days. It also covers the discharge he did not know she had requested, granted days before their daughter's fifth birthday party. Cora, Dawson and Callan died in January 2023 and the circumstances are not in dispute. Criminal responsibility is the entire fight, and Massachusetts puts that burden on the state.The Kohberger portion covers the handwritten petition he filed on his own in Ada County District Court, in which he claims actual innocence and says he was convinced to falsely confess. It also covers the letter Latah County prosecutors sent the families before the plea, promising it would spare them decades of post-conviction appeals. Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were killed in November 2022, and there has never been a motive on the record.The two are connected without pretending they are the same crime. In one, every clinical decision was made by someone who will never be a defendant. In the other, an office made a guarantee it had no authority to make. Neither institution will be cross-examined. Both of them decided how these cases would go, and both of them told the families it was handled.Both sets of families were left with the same feeling. Neither of these is finished.

Patrick Clancy, husband of Lindsay Clancy, returned to the stand today in the murder trial of the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling their three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is building an insanity defense around claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Today it was Reddington's turn to ask the questions, and he used Patrick to reinforce the defense's narrative rather than attack it. Patrick testified that Lindsay was afraid to go back to work because she didn't want to be away from the kids — the kind of detail that reads very differently depending on which side is building the story around it. The defense also walked him through her mental state after each birth, and got him to confirm that when she only took a few pills of each prescription, it wasn't defiance — it was because a physician told her to.That last point matters. It's the difference between "she wasn't taking her medication" and "she was following doctor's orders while doctors kept adjusting what she was on." Reddington knows exactly which version he wants the jury to remember.Prosecutors still have to convince twelve people that Lindsay Clancy understood what she was doing that day. After the killings, she allegedly tried to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Calling the Nolan Wells investigation a blackout runs into an inconvenient problem: a blackout produces nothing, and this case has produced a paper trail anybody can go read. That is where this episode starts, and it is not where most of the coverage has been willing to go.Nolan Xavier Wells, eighteen, rode out to Horn Island on the Fourth of July with friends and did not come back with them. A park ranger found him in the water on the morning of July 6. In the time since, a belief has hardened that facts are being deliberately kept from the public.So we test it. The dispatch audio from the boat exists because a news organization filed a records request. The vessel's tracking data exists because another one did. A state agency report exists for the same reason. Investigators publicly asked the crowd from that day to send in unedited footage, which is a strange thing to request if the goal is a quiet burial.Meanwhile the people a cover-up would need silent have been doing interviews with national outlets.We also handle the thread almost everyone has left dangling, which is the judge whose son was on that boat, and what a chancery court in Mississippi actually has jurisdiction over. The answer defuses one complaint entirely and leaves a different one standing.Then there is the state autopsy, the statute governing who gets a copy, and the reason the district attorney gave for sealing it, which is weakest exactly where she is leaning on it hardest.And the video everybody thinks they understand, and the measurement that takes it apart.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

He answered yes when a judge asked if he was guilty. Now Bryan Kohberger says he was talked into it.About a year after his sentencing on four consecutive life terms, Kohberger filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court, representing himself. He says his confession was false and that his actual innocence is his truth.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, who led the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, work through what the filing actually argues and what the wording of it reveals.The petition rests on ineffective assistance of counsel. Kohberger alleges his defense team did not disclose or review evidence that would have helped him. He alleges he was given a distorted account of what a life sentence and death row in Idaho involve. He points to threats and false promises as the reason he pleaded at all.The discussion covers the practical question underneath all of it. He waived his appeal rights in the agreement, but a waiver has never stopped a defendant from attacking the validity of the plea itself. That is the opening he is using, and it was always there.It also covers his statement that he would welcome prosecutors seeking the death penalty again, and what the Goncalves family said in response. They wanted a capital trial from the beginning and have said he simply wants another roll of the dice. Dreeke weighs whether that read holds up behaviorally.Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were killed in November 2022. There was no trial and no motive on the record. Prosecutors could have required him to explain himself as a condition of the deal, and they decided not to. That silence is now part of what the families are living with.Hidden Killers stays with this case as the petition moves through Ada County.

Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to four murders in open court, out loud, four separate times. Now he is trying to take all of it back.So can he actually do that? That is the question, and the answer involves one sentence he said under oath that he is going to have a very hard time getting around.This episode works through the answer. Kohberger is serving four consecutive life terms for the University of Idaho student murders, handed down after he admitted the killings of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in open court. He has now filed to undo that admission entirely, and he filed it himself.We go through the document, the standard he would have to meet, and the exact reason people who work in Idaho courtrooms are not losing sleep over it. We look at who sat beside him the day he pleaded, how long he had been reviewing the evidence before that morning, and the sworn statement that turns his own filing against him.And we get to the letter. Before the plea was ever signed, a prosecutor wrote to these four families and promised them in writing that this could not happen to them. That is where the outrage in this story actually belongs.Kaylee Goncalves' family answered within hours, and their statement does more damage in one paragraph than any legal analyst managed all day.Everything here comes from the docket, the filings, and dated reporting on the University of Idaho case.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two witnesses with nothing in common except the same case took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.First up was Angela Krause, general manager of the CVS in Kingston. She testified Clancy called the pharmacy herself asking about a specific medication. Investigators later came back with a separate request — surveillance footage from the day Patrick Clancy picked that same prescription up. Two visits, two different things police wanted to see.Then came Saria Sweeney Shelgren, a hostess at ThreeV restaurant in Plymouth, who was working the night of the killings. She testified Clancy called in an order and that her voice wasn't slurred or impaired. A man came in to collect it. Small detail, deliberate purpose — prosecutors are spending their time building an hour-by-hour account of that evening, and a clear-headed phone order doesn't leave much room for a narrative of total collapse.After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick Clancy took the stand today in the murder trial of his wife, Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling their three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Patrick testified he came home to find his wife outside the house, bloody and broken — she'd allegedly just jumped from a second-story window in an attempted suicide that left her paralyzed from the waist down. He then went inside and found his three children in the basement. There's no version of that walk-through that doesn't stay with a person. He didn't editorialize on the stand. He didn't need to. Prosecutors let the sequence of events do the talking, and it landed exactly the way they wanted it to.The defense isn't disputing what Patrick found. They're disputing what was happening in Lindsay's mind when it happened, which is its own kind of brutal argument to sit through as the husband and father. Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. Patrick has since relocated to Manhattan and spoken publicly, including to The New Yorker, about his wife's mental health leading up to that day. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to run several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A woman admitted for thoughts about harming her children told a hospital those thoughts were gone. The hospital let her go home.Patrick Clancy took his wife to Massachusetts General on New Year's Eve 2022 after she disclosed intrusive thoughts about the children. She was moved to McLean in the early hours of January 1 and discharged five days later, on January 5, after asking to leave.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, who ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, work through what that decision rested on.Patrick testified he did not know she had requested the discharge. He said he was not aware she had been offered daily one-on-one therapy, and not aware she had declined further group sessions. He described visiting and hearing that it did not seem like she was getting treatment, with a weekend and an observed holiday delaying her first appointment with a doctor.The reason she wanted out was her daughter's fifth birthday party. It was held on January 7. Cora died on January 24.Dreeke spent twenty-one years determining whether people were telling him the truth about their own minds, often when they had every reason not to. He explains the limits of what any clinician can confirm when a patient reports the danger has passed.The circumstances of the three deaths are not in dispute. The trial is about criminal responsibility, and the state has to prove it.The people who made that call are expected to appear as witnesses. None of them is a defendant, and that is worth holding onto as the medical testimony begins.Hidden Killers follows this case through the testimony phase.

"She was having one of her best days." That is how Patrick Clancy described January 24, 2023 to the jury deciding whether his ex-wife is criminally responsible for the deaths of their three children.He described a morning where Dawson dressed himself for the first time and the parents texted photos back and forth, Lindsay from a pediatric appointment with Cora. He described the snowman in the yard that afternoon and the art projects after it. He said she had been back at the gym and sleeping better.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, who ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, work through what a day like that is worth as evidence.The Commonwealth is building on it. Assistant District Attorney Shanan Buckingham told jurors this was not a woman in the throes of psychosis, and pointed to competence and normalcy that day as proof of a mind that understood itself. The defense has to make the same hours mean something else.The episode also covers what prosecutors say followed. A route mapped between home, a restaurant the family had never ordered from, and a CVS. Searches for takeout and children's medicine. An errand that took Patrick out of the house.Dreeke spent a career reading people in their worst moments, and his answer on what a good day indicates is not the comfortable one for either side.Cora, Dawson and Callan died that evening. The trial is about what was happening in their mother's mind, and the state has to prove it.The trial is expected to run six to eight weeks, with a witness list of nearly two hundred names and competing psychiatric experts still ahead.Hidden Killers stays with this case through the testimony phase.

There was one thing David Anthony Burke wanted to know about Celeste Rivas Hernandez's pregnancy, and a detective read his exact words to a Los Angeles courtroom. That is where the d4vd preliminary hearing arrived in its July 24 session, and it is the material this episode walks through in full. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was eleven when the messages with David Anthony Burke began in August 2022. By January 2024, the texts indicate she was pregnant, days from a procedure, telling an adult that neither of them could care for a baby. His reply carried a laugh. His follow-up asked when she would get it done. And his last question in the exchange, the one he said his mother told him to ask, got an answer with his own name in it. Detective Corey Farell, the prosecution's final witness, put all of it on the record, along with nearly fifty images from Burke's devices that investigators labeled illegal material involving a minor, described to the court but never displayed. Earlier in the session, Dr. Grant Ho testified that Celeste died from two sharp-force wounds, and that the condition of her remains left questions no examination can settle. Her parents stepped out for the autopsy testimony. They came back for the texts. Her mother cried, and her father looked down. Prosecutors say the fingers missing from Celeste's hand carried a tattoo of Burke's name in red ink, and they wrote in a brief that they believe that is why the fingers were gone. Burke has pleaded not guilty to every charge, his attorneys challenged the evidence at every step, and the bindover ruling arrives when the hearing closes. This is the full account of the day the texts became public, and the day this case stopped being about a Tesla.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The connection between these two cases is not the crime. It is the signature. Ohio put a marriage license in front of a judge for a fifteen-year-old who was seven months pregnant, and it was approved. California deputies documented telling David Burke how old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was, and filed it.Everything in one place: the d4vd evidence conversation, the David Burke origin conversation, and the Siders 16 kids conversation with retired FBI special agent Robin Dreeke.Start in a Los Angeles courtroom, where an LAPD criminalist described spraying a Hollywood Hills garage and watching the floor mats react, then the bricks underneath. Then a rowing machine, a green tarp, a charging cord, and a trash bag holding wipes and a scrap of fabric. A blue inflatable pool that looked untouched still produced a glow, and a second criminalist fitted plastic fragments from the autopsy into the cuts in it. Blair Berk went at everything nobody swabbed, nobody collected, nobody compared. Tony and Robin make the defense answer for every item.Then the harder question. Who was David Burke before any of it? Homeschooled after seventh grade. A social life built on screens. A record deal at seventeen. An alter ego named Itami, described in his own words as an agent of chaos, who commits murders in his videos.Then Ohio. Sixteen children, eighteen months to eighteen years, removed from a house in Hamden after a warrant tied to an unrelated matter. A room the sheriff said measured roughly twelve by twelve. An attorney general who said waiting longer would very likely have meant a death or multiple deaths. Four adults charged with sixteen counts of endangering children apiece. All four pleaded not guilty.Different states, different worlds, one identical failure sitting in the middle of both files.Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Nolan Wells 911 call opens with the strangest soundtrack imaginable: cheerful hold music playing over the commotion of a boat taking on water. Tony plays the uncut audio from start to finish and examines what is happening underneath it.Before the dispatcher ever picks up, the recording is already rolling — and that stretch of tape has become the most dissected audio in the case. Under the music, voices overlap. Some listeners swear one of them, a female voice, is asking a question that has nothing to do with a bilge pump. Others have looped the identical seconds and heard only wind, movement, and chaos. The recording does not settle it. Which is exactly why it keeps spreading.The verified content is chaotic enough on its own. A young caller reports the boat sinking at the west tip of Horn Island and begs the dispatcher to send help. He struggles through membership questions. He shouts instructions to the owner of another boat — jump in and pull the plug while you're going. Asked whether everyone aboard is accounted for and in good health, the answer is yes. Seven people.Nolan Wells had been seen on the island about an hour earlier. He was not on the boat, and his friends say that was his choice — a girl, another ride home. His parents say he was raised never to separate from his group. Two days later he was found in the water near the island.With both autopsies unresolved — the family's undetermined, the state's sealed for a grand jury — the tape is what exists. Tony takes it one moment at a time and holds the disputed seconds up to the light.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ohio's attorney general did not hedge. Sixteen children were taken out of a home on Ohmer Street in Hamden, and Andy Wilson did not soften what came next. Based on what he had seen, he said, waiting a certain amount of time longer carried a very high probability of a death, or multiple deaths, inside that house.That statement is the spine of this conversation. Tony is joined by Robin Dreeke, the retired FBI special agent who ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program and has spent a career answering the question of why people do what they do.The facts are not in much dispute. Sixteen children, from eighteen months to eighteen years. A room the sheriff described as roughly twelve by twelve, where he said they had been kept for most of four years. A sheriff's line about livestock in his county being kept better. An attorney general calling it pure evil.Four adults charged with sixteen counts each of endangering children. Four not guilty pleas.What is in dispute is what it means. Elizabeth Siders' attorney argues this is poverty and isolation rather than evil, and that evil requires malice. Poverty, though, does not teach a family to move across counties and leave no school records and no medical records behind for the better part of two decades.Hamden is a town of about seven hundred people. Relatives say they visited and noticed nothing. The school district has no record that any of the sixteen children were ever enrolled.Dreeke and Tony take all of it apart, including the hardest question in the case: whether a person can be shaped into something and still answer for it.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution’s opening statement at Plymouth Superior Court used one adjective for part of what Lindsay Clancy did to herself: superficial. Kevin Reddington answered it with photographs, a fracture list, and a medical record that describes a burst fracture at the top of her spine caused by headfirst impact onto frozen ground.That is one of three fabrication charges the prosecution’s theory requires the jury to accept. She lied about being sick. She faked the attempt. She made up the voices. This breakdown wraps four clips from Reddington’s defense opening and follows the argument through each one.Patrick Clancy, called as the prosecution’s first witness, testified his wife disclosed intrusive thoughts and suicidal ideation months before the children died. He testified he pushed for in-person care and grew alarmed at the prescription count. That testimony contradicts the Commonwealth’s opening claim that she withheld from her husband and her doctors.Reddington read the full prescription chart to the jury — thirteen medications across multiple providers in four months, with a bipolar diagnosis that came only after the children died. He named a witness who heard about command voices at Brigham and Women’s before any defense lawyer arrived. And one detail closes the loop on all three charges: she signed a DNR and refused to be resuscitated.Support: Postpartum Support International, www.postpartum.net or 800-944-4773.

The most devastating number in this case is not a dollar figure and it is not a piece of forensic evidence. It is how old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was when prosecutors say David Burke first found her online.Who was David Burke before any of this? That is the whole conversation, and Tony and Robin do not take the easy route through it.He was homeschooled after seventh grade. Gospel music only until thirteen. Almost everything social in his life happened through a screen. His mother pushed him to stop crying about copyright strikes and make his own songs, and two years later he was seventeen, still in high school, and signed to Interscope.Nobody handles that at seventeen. But the part that stops people cold is what he built alongside the career.Burke created an alter ego and named him Itami, which is Japanese for pain. He described the character on camera as an agent of chaos, an evil version of himself in a blindfold. The idea came from a manga he was writing about a detective whose alter ego commits murders, murders the detective then has to solve. His own comparison was Tyler Durden in Fight Club.He put it in the videos. A bloody knife. A woman described as the ghost of the person the character killed. An animated sequence where the character takes an arm. And a video in which Burke drags a body and loads it into a car.The counterargument matters and it gets its due here: violent art proves nothing by itself, and thousands of artists make it without ever harming a soul.But prosecutors allege Burke did the exact thing the character did. Tony and Robin follow that line all the way back — the isolation, the money, the industry that sold the darkness and never asked a single question.Burke has pleaded not guilty. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A woman in a psychiatric crisis drove herself to a locked ward on New Year’s Eve and checked herself in voluntarily. The malpractice complaint filed against her providers says she was not seen by a doctor for three days. She was discharged after five with no indication she was a danger to anyone. Three weeks later her three children were dead.Built around four clips from the prosecution’s opening statement at Plymouth Superior Court, this breakdown follows ADA Shanan Buckingham’s argument and tests it against the record.The state’s premeditation theory rests on a clock and a fourteen-second phone call. Underneath it is a premise the prosecution never states directly: that organization proves a sound mind. The clinical literature on postpartum psychosis runs the other direction, and this episode goes through what it actually documents. Then the Massachusetts standard that gives the defense two doors and requires the Commonwealth to close both beyond a reasonable doubt.The provider record laid out in the civil complaints is where the case lives. Thirteen medications. Five prescribers, none holding the full picture. A referral that went unanswered. An appointment the day before that the state’s opening skips entirely. And the prosecutor’s own observation about Clancy’s access to care, offered as proof of guilt, that may be the most damaging sentence about the system anyone said that morning.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Testimony placed David Burke's phone and his Tesla off Highway 154 in Santa Barbara County in the small hours after prosecutors say Celeste Rivas Hernandez died. While he was out there, according to an LAPD detective, the phone made one outgoing call. It rang through.Three days of d4vd preliminary hearing testimony have turned one rented Hollywood Hills garage into the center of a murder case. The state's criminalist described spraying Bluestar and watching the floor mats react, then the bricks beneath them, then a rowing machine, a green tarp, a charging cord, and a trash bag holding wipes and a scrap of black fabric.She described a blue inflatable pool with nothing visible on it at all. It smelled fresh months later and had a dryer sheet clinging to it, and she testified that one area of it lit up under the chemical anyway. Another criminalist matched plastic fragments taken during the autopsy directly into the cuts in that pool.And in the middle of all of it, sitting in plain view, were jugs that came back negative.Tony and Robin work through the state's evidence piece by piece and ask how the defense answers each one, because Blair Berk is going to have an answer. She already got the criminalist to concede she cannot call the reaction definitely blood. She already put the untested chain saw handles on the record, along with the third saw pulled from a closet that investigators decided was not worth collecting.The alternate-suspect theory needs somebody else, and multiple people lived in that house. The state says her DNA is in his car and in his home. Somewhere between those two facts is the case.David Anthony Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing through his attorneys. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old, and everything in that courtroom exists because she is not here.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Kouri Richins filed a motion for a new trial. Seven weeks after a judge sentenced her to life without parole for the aggravated murder of her husband Eric Richins. Seven weeks after her own sons begged the court to keep them safe. Her attorneys claim the judge showed bias, that financial crimes evidence unfairly prejudiced the jury, and that she deserves the same kind of do-over that Alex Murdaugh received in South Carolina.Tony Brueski tears apart every claim. The Murdaugh comparison is the centerpiece of the defense strategy and the weakest part of it — the South Carolina ruling turned on proven jury tampering that has no equivalent in the Richins case. The episode walks through both pillars of the Murdaugh reversal and shows why only one of them applies, and even that one doesn't apply the way her lawyers need it to.The judge has stepped aside. A new judge will rule on the motion. The episode covers what that means procedurally and why it's standard practice, not an admission of anything.Inside the episode: the three specific claims in the motion, the financial evidence that the defense calls prejudicial and the prosecution calls motive, the text Kouri sent an admirer after the guilty verdict promising to "expose them all," and the courtroom footage of Kouri making faces while counselors read her children's statements. Her sons no longer call her Mom. One wrote that what she did was "very sick." Another said he wouldn't feel safe if she were free. Eric's father told the court his son was a light taken too soon.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three families asked the system for something basic. Answers. Protection. Help. None of them received it.Nolan Wells was eighteen. He went to a boat party on Horn Island, Mississippi, and was the only one of the group who did not come home. The state retained his throat during the first autopsy. Nineteen days later, no findings released. The independent autopsy returned undetermined. A grand jury is pending.Nancy Guthrie has been missing from Tucson for nearly six months. Three FBI sources gave three different answers about the ransom notes on the same day. A former FBI agent called the case cold on camera. Genetic genealogy testing began in February. Five months later, nothing.Lindsay Clancy's jury is seated in Plymouth Superior Court. Both sides agree she killed her three children. She was prescribed thirteen psychiatric medications in four months. Her husband told the doctors she had become a zombie. After the children died, intubated and unable to speak, she wrote a single question on a whiteboard. The prosecution and defense cannot agree on what that question means.A grand jury with subpoena power. An FBI that cannot agree on its own evidence. A medical system that prescribed thirteen drugs, ignored the husband's warnings, and now wants to prosecute the patient it failed. The institutions in each of these cases had one job and none of them did it.The grand jury can subpoena testimony under oath. The genetic genealogy lab has had DNA for five months and said nothing. The medical system that prescribed thirteen drugs and ignored the husband's warnings is now the same system the prosecution needs to prove produced a sane patient. Each institution had one responsibility and none of them fulfilled it.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines all three cases, the thread connecting them, what the grand jury and the trial and the investigation should produce, and what the institutions handling each one owe to the families who are still waiting.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Pool fragments on a dead girl's leggings. That's the evidence that came out of Day 3 of the d4vd preliminary hearing in Los Angeles, and it draws a direct forensic line between the Hollywood Hills garage where prosecutors allege David Anthony Burke dismembered fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez and the clothing found with her remains.LAPD trace analyst Lisa LaHendro testified that a blue inflatable kiddie pool in the garage had deliberate cuts — "scalloped and straight" — made with a sharp tool. The fragments removed from those cuts were recovered from Celeste's leggings. Criminalist Samantha Tosch testified the DNA matched. Criminalist Lauren Wallace found cleaned-up blood throughout the garage. And jugs of fake blood were sitting in the same space — the defense says music videos; the prosecution points to the real blood scrubbed from surfaces feet away.Blair Berk, Burke's defense attorney, spent her cross-examination asking what police didn't test. Chainsaw handles were never swabbed for DNA. The Tesla exterior was never tested. Multiple people lived in the house. Berk is building toward an alternative theory. But Detective William Roecker's cell tower testimony tracked Burke's Tesla and phone to Santa Barbara County three times — starting on the night Celeste allegedly died. Her passport card was found along that same highway corridor.The hearing continues. Burke has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder with special circumstances and other charges. Celeste was fourteen years old when she went to his home and was never heard from again.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick Clancy, husband of Lindsay Clancy, took the stand today in the murder trial of the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Patrick walked jurors through the timeline of prescriptions and interventions in the weeks leading up to January 24 — the plan that kept changing, the medications that came and went before anyone could tell if they were doing anything. But the testimony that actually landed in that courtroom wasn't clinical. It was Patrick, describing his kids, and having to stop more than once because he couldn't get through it. Court broke for the day after that, and it picks back up Wednesday morning at 9 AM EDT, when he returns to finish testifying for the prosecution.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Patrick was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy was intubated in a hospital bed. Her three children were dead. She could not speak. She was handed an erasable whiteboard. And the first thing she communicated was a question that both sides of this case read completely differently.Her jury is now seated. Eighteen people in Plymouth Superior Court who have to answer one question: was she criminally responsible? Both sides agree she killed her children. The only dispute is her state of mind.The prosecution frames this as calculated premeditation. She checked Apple Maps to time her husband's errand. She allegedly strangled all three children in the window she created. She jumped from a second-story window and survived.The defense frames this as medical catastrophe. Thirteen psychiatric medications prescribed in four months. Her husband told doctors she had become a zombie. One prescriber did not know what another was doing. She asked for help over and over and the system ignored her.Patrick Clancy is on both sides' witness lists. The prosecution will call him first. He sued her doctors for malpractice. He told the press he was not married to a monster. He forgave her publicly. Massachusetts places the burden on the Commonwealth to prove sanity beyond a reasonable doubt.Andrea Yates drowned five children during a postpartum psychotic episode. A Texas jury convicted her. A second jury acquitted her on retrial. If the first Yates jury got it wrong when the crime was too horrific to sit with, this jury is staring down the same question with the same impossible set of facts.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to examine the whiteboard question, what it tells the jury about consciousness of guilt versus medical shock, the Yates parallel, and whether this prosecution can clear its burden.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Lindsay Clancy trial asks eighteen strangers to answer a question no one in the courtroom can prove. Both sides stipulate that she killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan in January 2023. The prosecution's entire case is built around proving she was sane when she did it — and under Massachusetts law, that burden falls on them, not the defense.ADA Jennifer Sprague's theory rests on a digital trail: Apple Maps route calculations, timed errands, and what prosecutors describe as a manufactured window of opportunity. She has called Lindsay a methodical killer who "executed" her children "one by one."Kevin Reddington sees the same facts differently. His client voluntarily admitted herself to McLean Hospital. She told providers she was hearing voices commanding her to harm her children. She went to emergency rooms. She called crisis lines. She took every medication prescribed. And none of it stopped what happened on January 24. Reddington asked the court to let the defense concede the killings and evaluate her mental state separately. The court said no.Tony delivers his case for why this trial was structurally doomed before the first juror raised their hand — and why the system should have allowed a plea that would have reached the same outcome without six to eight weeks of testimony that nobody in that courtroom will recover from.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick Clancy, husband of Lindsay Clancy, took the stand today in the murder trial of the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Patrick walked jurors through a timeline that's supposed to explain how his wife went from new mother to someone psychiatrists were allegedly cycling through medication after medication, adjustment after adjustment, in the weeks before the killings. The detail that's going to stick with people: several of those prescriptions were reportedly taken only a handful of times before being swapped out or discontinued — a system, allegedly, that kept changing the plan faster than anyone could tell if it was working. He also described what he says were the family's attempts to get her real help, for whatever that's worth against what actually happened.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.

Opening statements continued this week in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Reddington took his turn at the podium and built a very different picture than the prosecution's. His Lindsay Clancy was a trained nurse, a devoted mother, a woman who saw the warning signs in herself and asked for help — and didn't get the help she needed in time. It's the defense's whole case in one image: not a woman who chose violence, but a woman failed by the system meant to catch her before she fell. Whether jurors buy that framing over the prosecution's "premeditated, not psychotic" line is going to be the entire trial.After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court before Judge William F. Sullivan, is expected to run several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Opening statements began this week in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Assistant District Attorney Shanan Buckingham used her opening to lay out the state's core argument: this was not a woman lost to psychosis, it was a deliberate act. Prosecutors are expected to build their case around the idea that Clancy understood exactly what she was doing that day — a direct challenge to the psychiatric narrative the defense has spent months building. It's the fight this trial was always going to come down to: was this a mind that broke, or a mind that decided. Buckingham just made clear which side of that line the prosecution intends to stand on, and she's not planning to hedge.After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.

Three different FBI sources. Three different answers. On the same day. About the single most important piece of evidence in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping.Reuters said all the ransom notes are fabricated. The Phoenix field office said some may be legitimate. TMZ's sources said the original two are more credible than not. The Bureau cannot agree internally on whether the central evidence in its own active case is real or manufactured.Nancy Guthrie has been missing from her Tucson home for nearly six months. No suspect identified. No arrest. Former FBI agent Steve Moore went on camera and said what no official source has admitted. The case is completely cold. He told Brian Entin that fresh agents will eventually rotate in because the current investigators are stuck.This case has attracted cons alongside its genuine investigation. Derrick Callella pleaded guilty to posing as a kidnapper and sending fake ransom messages directly to Nancy's family while the real kidnapping was still open. Someone else separately sent TMZ a dozen emails demanding Bitcoin for information. The resources devoted to sorting real leads from manufactured noise have been enormous.Genetic genealogy testing began in February using DNA recovered from inside the house. That was five months ago. The enhanced photo of the masked figure on Nancy's porch has never been publicly released.Nancy's face is on the billboards across Tucson. The suspect's is not. The enhanced photo of the masked figure was captured on her porch camera. It has never been made public. These are deliberate decisions by the people running this investigation, and no one has explained the logic behind any of them.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to examine the Bureau's contradictions, what happens mechanically when a case goes cold, whether the genetic genealogy testing has produced results that have not been shared, and whether investigators already know more about porch guy than they have told the public.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The first autopsy on Nolan Wells did not return all of him to his family. The state retained his throat during the examination. The trachea, hyoid bone, and laryngeal cartilage were kept. The independent pathologist who later examined what was left said retention like that is standard when pathologists suspect compression.The family's independent autopsy came back undetermined. Not accidental. Not natural. Not homicide. Undetermined. The pathologist listed seven unresolved questions and said he could not rule out non-accidental factors. The official state autopsy results remain pending.Nolan Wells was eighteen years old. He went to a boat party on Horn Island, Mississippi over the Fourth of July. He was the only one in the group who did not come home and the only Black member of that group. His body was recovered two days later by a park ranger.Ben Crump announced the independent autopsy findings at the NAACP National Convention. The NAACP national board passed a resolution calling for a transparent review. The Jackson County DA has referred the case to a grand jury with subpoena power the sheriff does not possess.Many of the friends who were on that island have been talking publicly. They have given interviews. They have posted on social media. A grand jury brings something those public statements lack. Sworn testimony under penalty of perjury. Whether their accounts hold up when there are consequences for dishonesty is a question this investigation is now designed to answer.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines what the throat retention tells investigators, how long a death investigation of this scope takes to reach a grand jury, what sworn testimony changes, and what the phone data from everyone who was on that island will reveal.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

If Lindsay Clancy is convicted of first-degree murder, a Massachusetts judge has no room to weigh in on her sentence at all. The charge carries mandatory life without parole. Not the illness, not the medication, not the wheelchair, not a single fact about who she was before January 24, 2023, when Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan died at their Duxbury, Massachusetts home. The judge doesn't get a say. Neither does the jury, once they've reached that verdict. Lindsay is pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. She's a former labor and delivery nurse. Prosecutors say roughly three months before the killings, she typed something about her older children into her phone, a note a prosecutor later read aloud in court. The defense says she'd been begging the medical system for help for weeks and was handed prescriptions instead. She's permanently paralyzed after going out a second-story window the night her children died. The other possible outcome isn't freedom either. A finding of not criminally responsible sends her to a locked state psychiatric hospital with periodic reviews to determine whether she can ever safely return to a community. She's already been in state custody since 2023. Two rigid outcomes, and nothing in between since prosecutors dropped the lesser charges that once existed. Jury selection began July 20 in Plymouth Superior Court, and whichever way this goes, one number, life without parole or indefinite commitment, is the only thing waiting on the other side. Patrick Clancy is on the defense witness list. He and Lindsay have separately sued her healthcare providers, arguing the treatment she received played a direct role in what happened. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The case of Nolan Wells now has two autopsies, a six-figure reward, and zero arrests, and somehow that combination has made things worse, not better. The independent exam the family commissioned came back undetermined. No fractures, no deep tissue injuries, no lacerations, just discoloration on the back of his skull that can't tell anyone how he entered the water or whether he was conscious when he did. The state's own completed autopsy from July 7th is still sitting unreleased in a Jackson County file. Then there's the money. A hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars in reward funds, courtesy of Al Sharpton, Tyler Perry, and Terrell Owens. No suspect. No public evidence a crime happened. And the friends who were on Horn Island with Nolan that day are now living with threats. A chancery judge related to one of those friends has spoken out publicly about it, while AI-generated images and already-debunked videos keep getting passed around as proof of something. Nolan's attorney chose the NAACP National Convention in Chicago, not a courtroom or a press conference in Pascagoula, to announce the independent findings. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis walks through what the pathologist actually found, what got left out of the public conversation, and who answers for the damage already done if the grand jury comes back with nothing. He breaks down the legal distance between an undetermined manner of death and an actual crime, and why that distance keeps getting erased online. Tony puts the forensic findings next to the public campaign happening around them, lets the audience see exactly where they stop lining up, and asks what's owed to people who end up in the crosshairs of a case that still hasn't proven a crime happened. Links: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The day before Lindsay Clancy killed her three children, her medication was increased. Nobody has fully explained why that decision was made, or by whom. She'd already been on roughly thirteen different psychiatric drugs across about four months. Her own malpractice lawsuit describes that final dose increase, paired with a night without sleep, in the hours before Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months, died in their Duxbury, Massachusetts home. She's pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. She'd checked herself into a psychiatric hospital on New Year's Eve after telling her husband she was having thoughts of hurting her children. She was discharged. Nineteen days later, the children were dead. Jury selection began July 20 in Plymouth Superior Court. That same morning, before a single juror was seated, prosecutors moved to challenge her defense experts, the third motion in eleven days aimed at limiting her defense. Prosecutors had already dropped all three strangulation charges on July 9, calling them redundant, a move that erased any middle ground between the two remaining verdicts: life without parole, or not criminally responsible. On July 13, the judge blocked women who've survived postpartum psychosis from testifying about the illness in their own words. That leaves the jury with paper: prescription records, a dosage change, a malpractice complaint describing exactly how the medication was mishandled. Two jurors were seated by lunch. The trial is expected to run four to eight weeks. Patrick Clancy, her husband, is on the defense witness list. He's also suing her healthcare providers and has publicly asked people to forgive her. Thirteen drugs, one increase, one sleepless night, and a question nobody in that courtroom has fully answered yet. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There's a motion sitting in a federal court file right now, filed by Josh Duggar in 2025, and his own sisters are named in it. What he's asking the court to do with them is the reason we're covering this case again. It comes from a man who's currently being moved through four different federal facilities in three states, with the Bureau of Prisons refusing to say why. His attorney frames the transfers as retaliation, punishment for complaining that guards opened his legal mail. That's the version his team is selling. But his release date tells a quieter, uglier story. It started at August 2032. It's been pushed back three times since, and it now lands on February 2, 2033. A date that only ever moves in one direction isn't the record of a man doing his time and staying out of the way. At trial, the jury heard exactly how far he was willing to go to avoid accountability: software his wife was supposed to use to monitor him, and a hidden system he built to make that software useless. Two years of being told no, and he built his own way around it.  The rest of the Duggar family isn't having a quiet stretch either. In Florida, Joseph Duggar, thirty-one, is facing two felony counts tied to what happened to a child during a 2020 family vacation. He's pleaded not guilty, but according to the affidavit, he admitted what happened twice: once to the child's father, and once to detectives on a monitored call. His parents bailed him out. The people who went to police were his own in-laws, the Caldwells, who broke with a family pattern of keeping everything inside the house. What it cost them is where this one is headed. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy called a suicide hotline before she killed her three children in Duxbury, Massachusetts, and was told she didn't qualify for help because she didn't have a plan. That single phone call sits at the center of the trial now underway in Plymouth. Both sides agree Cora, Dawson, and Callan died at her hands. The only open question is criminal responsibility.  Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, to walk through everything that led to that call and everything that came after it. Lindsay's providers had documented intrusive thoughts around the same time she was reportedly describing a commanding voice telling her to harm Cora, Dawson, and Callan — a distinction Shavaun says the treatment team never fully reckoned with. A forensic evaluation eventually diagnosed Bipolar I, a diagnosis her providers had floated but never locked in while it mattered.  In the four months before the killings, Lindsay was prescribed thirteen different medications. Her husband, Patrick, warned providers directly that she was unrecognizable on Seroquel and asked them to stop. Instead of pulling back, they raised the dose. She checked into McLean Hospital on New Year's Eve and sat for three days before a doctor examined her. Five providers passed through her care, and the lawsuit alleges none of them ever compared notes.  Shavaun explains how a hotline screening script can miss a woman in active crisis, why revolving prescriptions without coordination make a bad diagnosis worse, and what should have happened differently the moment Patrick raised the alarm. This is the treatment record the jury in Plymouth is now being asked to weigh. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

n December of 2015, Joseph Duggar sat in front of a TLC camera and told the country exactly what kind of man his brother Josh really was. He described a secret life. He described a man who preached one thing and lived another. He said it broke his heart. In 2026, an arrest affidavit out of Bay County, Florida, says Joseph Duggar asked a nine-year-old girl to sit on his lap during a family vacation in Panama City Beach, and now his own words from that interview read less like grief and more like a confession he didn't know he was giving. Joseph Duggar has pleaded not guilty. He's out on a six hundred thousand dollar bond. Tony Brueski walks through the Florida case, then rewinds to 2003, when Jim Bob Duggar handled his oldest son's confession by taking him to a family friend with a badge instead of a police station, a decision that meant no charges were ever filed, and a decision that gets darker once you learn what happened to that man later. That same 2015 interview also exposed two of the Duggar daughters to details the original police reports had shielded them from. Then the frame widens. In Hamden, Ohio, sixteen children were pulled from a house belonging to the Siders family, four of whom now face sixteen counts each of endangering children. Different state, different income bracket, same underlying method: kids kept off the books, no school, no doctors, everything handled inside the house until the state stepped in. Joseph and Kendra Duggar face a nearly identical set of charges out of Arkansas, involving their own four children, since removed from their home. One family posted bond and flew home. The other's patriarch walked out of jail because the county couldn't cover his hospital bill. Same play, very different outcomes, and Tony Brueski isn't done asking why. LINKS & LEGAL FOOTER Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy has been in custody or in a hospital bed for three and a half years, and in all that time, she has never once given police a statement. She's a former labor and delivery nurse charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children, Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan, at their Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023. She's pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. She was also gravely injured that night and has been paralyzed from the waist down ever since. Prosecutors have spent years reconstructing what they believe happened using medication records and search histories, building their case around a woman who has never told her own side to investigators. Between September 2022 and January 2023, she was prescribed at least nine different psychiatric medications. Her husband, Patrick, has said she seemed to be acting like a zombie. An outside hospital later determined she'd been overmedicated and misdiagnosed, and her civil lawsuit alleges that what she reported as intrusive thoughts were actually auditory hallucinations nobody thought to ask more about. A forensic psychiatrist has since diagnosed her with Bipolar Disorder I with postpartum onset. Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague has argued to the judge that other mothers who experienced postpartum psychosis or depression without harming their children shouldn't be allowed to testify for the defense. Judge William Sullivan agreed and kept them off the stand. Eighteen jurors will be seated instead of the usual sixteen, a sign of how long this trial is expected to run. Patrick Clancy is on the defense witness list and has publicly asked people to forgive his wife. Jury selection begins July 20 in Plymouth Superior Court, where twelve of those jurors will have to reconstruct a state of mind that Lindsay Clancy herself has never described out loud. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There are ninety minutes in the Nolan Wells timeline that nobody has ever fully explained, and they sit right at the center of everything. Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The timeline itself is mostly machine-logged and undisputed. A boat left a dock outside Ocean Springs at 9:56 on the morning of the Fourth of July. The group reached Horn Island by 11:14. The boat left the island at 4:31 that afternoon, passed Fort Bayou near 5:52, reached a dock at 6:06, and was pulled from the water at a launch by 7:19 before heading overland to Biloxi. Between those clean, logged numbers sits the gap. Nolan was last seen on the island around three in the afternoon. Around four, the boat's operator called a towing company to report the boat was taking on water. Investigators haven't publicly explained those ninety minutes. Neither have the friends who were out there. Neither has the family's own legal team. A National Park Service ranger recovered Nolan's body at 8:45 Monday morning off the island's northwestern tip, in the exact patch of water that had turned up nothing during a search the day before. There's a phone left on the dashboard with two competing explanations, an empty photo roll with two competing explanations, and a video that circulated widely with two competing accounts of how it surfaced. Attorney Ben Crump says Nolan's friends had his phone after he was left behind, and that messages had been deleted by the time the family got it back. No agency has released a cause or manner of death. Ninety minutes is a long stretch of ocean to leave unaccounted for. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nolan Wells was last seen on Horn Island on the Fourth of July. Help wasn't requested for roughly thirteen hours. Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College, out on the island with friends from Ocean Springs. Horn Island sits about ten miles off the Mississippi coast, uninhabited, no buildings, no fresh water, no service. On the holiday it's packed with boats until dark, and then every one of those boats turns back toward the mainland. His friends made it home. He didn't. A National Park Service ranger found his body in the water off the island's northwestern tip two mornings later, on July 6. Investigators say they believe Nolan drowned, but they've also said they're still working to determine exactly what happened out there in those missing hours. A friend has said he called the Coast Guard that night, and that Nolan's mother, Christine Wonsley, called the sheriff's office shortly after. What isn't clear is why so much time passed between the moment Nolan was last seen and the moment anyone outside that group of friends knew he was missing. The sheriff's office said early on there was no foul play, a line that landed before the public had any real answers to weigh it against. His cause and manner of death haven't been released. Some witnesses have reportedly been too scared to talk about what actually happened on that island. Attorney Ben Crump is now running an independent investigation for the family, and the district attorney says the case is headed to a grand jury. Thirteen hours is a long time to be missing on an island with no way to call for help. It's an even longer time for a mother to wait for answers she still doesn't have. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy sent her husband out to grab dinner, and prosecutors say she used that window like a stopwatch. In Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023, Lindsay Clancy killed her three children: Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months. She isn't disputing that she did it. The fight in Plymouth Superior Court is over what was happening in her mind when she did. Prosecutors say Lindsay checked Apple Maps before Patrick left the house, working out exactly how long a dinner run would take him. Her fitness tracker recorded her climbing three flights of stairs the moment she got off the phone with him. To the state, that's not a woman lost in psychosis, that's premeditation. Her defense tells a different story. In the months before the killings, Lindsay was prescribed at least ten different medications, eight of them crammed into a single three-week stretch. She hospitalized herself three times. She called a crisis hotline and was turned away. She told her providers, in plain language, that she was having thoughts of hurting her kids. A hospital assessment ruled out bipolar disorder at the time, the same assessment two separate lawsuits now call negligently wrong. After the killings, a forensic evaluation diagnosed her with Bipolar Disorder I with psychosis and postpartum onset. Her husband Patrick found the children. He's also suing her healthcare providers for wrongful death, and he's on the defense's witness list, not the prosecution's. Her attorney even offered to admit she killed the children if the judge would split the trial into separate guilt and sanity phases. The judge refused. Some of Lindsay's psychiatric appointments in that stretch were virtual and lasted as little as seventeen minutes. Jury selection begins July 20. Whatever that fifty-four-minute window really meant, twelve strangers are about to decide. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Siders 16 kids child marriage pattern — state records show at least three girls as young as fourteen were married into or through the Siders family in two Appalachian Ohio counties between 2002 and 2008. One of those girls was married to a man thirty-four years her senior. A retired Gallia County judge who approved the marriage acknowledged that neither prosecutors nor child welfare were ever notified.Ohio's marriage statute allowed pregnant minors to marry with parental and judicial consent — even when the relationship itself was potentially a felony under the state's own criminal code. Three judges in two states signed off on three marriages involving girls who were fourteen and fifteen. The legal framework that was supposed to protect those girls instead delivered them into a family system that allegedly produced the conditions found in a Vinton County home where sixteen children were discovered in a single room.Tony lays out the three marriages, the two laws that contradicted each other, and the family connection that ties the grandparents now charged with child endangerment directly to the pattern that started more than two decades ago. This isn't a story about one family that slipped through the cracks. The cracks were built into the law.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

d4vd and Nolan Wells — two active cases with evidence that public discussion has outpaced, both examined by defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis.The d4vd preliminary hearing unsealed prosecutors' digital evidence for the first time: online orders for chainsaws, a cadaver bag, a burn cage, an inflatable pool — all allegedly shipped to his own address under aliases. The digital trail looks devastating. But cross-examination revealed all three chainsaws tested negative for blood and no DNA testing was ordered. The cadaver bag was not fully preserved. The defense is planting flags that go directly at the prosecution's physical evidence and financial-motive special circumstance.In Nolan Wells, the independent autopsy came back undetermined. The pathologist could not examine the neck structures because Mississippi retained them. Three hundred people were on Horn Island and not one described a crime. But a $125,000 reward was posted before the autopsy results were announced. The results were announced at the NAACP Convention in Chicago, not in Mississippi. The friends who cooperated are being threatened.Eric Faddis examines what each evidence file actually contains — and where the gap between public narrative and physical evidence is widest.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two autopsies and no cause of death. The independent examination of Nolan Wells found no fractures, no deep tissue injuries, and no lacerations. It found a red discoloration on the back of his skull that two outside forensic experts read completely differently. It could not determine whether Nolan drowned because the structures needed for that determination were unavailable — already examined and retained during the state's autopsy, which is standard procedure in any forensic investigation. Tony separates the two questions the autopsy actually addresses and explains why both sides of this case are merging them into one. The family's team is using the drowning gap to imply physical violence. Law enforcement is using the absence of trauma to close the book entirely. Neither position is honest about what the evidence says. And the most complete autopsy that will ever exist for Nolan Wells — the state's examination from July 7 — sits unreleased in a Jackson County file while the DA's office stays silent.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

d4vd — prosecutors told a Los Angeles courtroom that online purchases of chainsaws, a cadaver bag, a shovel, and an inflatable pool were central to the alleged dismemberment and cover-up of Celeste Rivas Hernandez's death. They presented financial records, delivery logs, and alias accounts allegedly tied to the defendant. The digital trail is extensive.But the defense exposed a gap: all three chainsaws recovered from the defendant's home tested negative for blood. No DNA testing was performed. The tools that prosecutors say carried out the alleged cover-up have no biological evidence connecting them to the crime. Berk also pressed on evidence handling — the cadaver bag was not fully preserved and the burn cage was not collected during the initial search.Matching tattoos were shown in court. Prosecutors allege two specific fingers bearing a tattoo of his name were removed from Celeste's body and have never been located. Financial testimony put earnings above ten million dollars, but the defense demonstrated the defendant's mother and financial manager ran every transaction.Eric Faddis examines whether the defense is planting real trial strategy or just running standard cross-examination — and how a prosecution survives the gap between its theory and its physical evidence.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Day 2 of d4vd's preliminary hearing put a dollar figure on the alleged motive and a location pin on the alleged cover-up. Prosecutors called two financial witnesses who testified Burke grossed more than $10 million in three years. Then the questioning turned personal — a money manager admitted knowing Celeste Rivas Hernandez's first name before the body was ever found. He heard it from Burke's own manager. The prosecutor asked about international travel and nightclubs with fake identification before the defense shut it down. A CHP officer described how a Caltrans worker found Celeste's passport card in the brush along State Route 154 in Santa Barbara County, about ninety-five miles from Burke's Hollywood home. Location data allegedly places Burke at that exact spot twice — once right after the alleged killing, and again weeks later. An LAPD criminologist then described what she found inside the Tesla: dust, decomposition, insects, and air fresheners in every compartment. The hearing continues.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nolan Wells — before the independent autopsy came back undetermined, before the state released its findings, before any medical examiner could say how Nolan Wells died, a combined $125,000 in reward money hit the table. Al Sharpton announced fifty thousand at the funeral through the National Action Network. Tyler Perry pledged to help fund the reward and cover funeral costs. Terrell Owens added twenty-five thousand. All of it offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.An arrest for what? No crime has been established. No suspect has been named. The coroner found no obvious trauma. The independent autopsy found undetermined cause and undetermined manner.Nolan's attorney Ben Crump announced those autopsy results at the NAACP National Convention in Chicago — not in Pascagoula, not with investigators, but at a civil rights convention with standing-room-only national media coverage. The NAACP president called Mississippi officials "derelict in their duties" at the same press conference. Meanwhile, the friends who cooperated with investigators are receiving threats and AI-fabricated evidence is spreading across platforms.Eric Faddis examines the gap between what the evidence says and what the narrative around this case is building toward.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nolan Wells case — an independent forensic pathologist examined Nolan's body and delivered his findings: cause and manner of death are both undetermined. But the pathologist also reported that he never received the neck structures from the state's examination. Without those structures, he could not determine whether strangulation occurred. Mississippi says retaining neck tissue is common forensic practice. The family's legal team says it left a critical question permanently unanswered.The state toxicology results have not been released. Three hundred people were present on Horn Island. Sixty witnesses have been interviewed by law enforcement. The three friends who were with Nolan gave statements that are backed by Coast Guard dispatch audio documenting a tow call for a sinking boat. The coroner saw no obvious signs of trauma. The DA is referring the investigation to a grand jury — which she describes as standard procedure for any unnatural death, not as evidence of suspected criminality.Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, walks through every piece of what is and isn't in this file and what a grand jury is realistically able to do with it.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The d4vd preliminary hearing opened with a courtroom split in two. Celeste Rivas Hernandez's parents stayed for the graphic testimony after being offered the chance to leave. Burke, according to courtroom reporters, showed no visible reaction to any of it. The contrast defined Day 1.Detective Joshua Byers walked the court through a receipt-by-receipt timeline of purchases allegedly tied to Burke under multiple aliases. The items — ordered with his own payment methods and delivered to his own address — included materials prosecutors allege were used in the aftermath of Celeste's death. One item allegedly bore a label that hadn't surfaced publicly before the hearing.Body camera footage from a February 2024 welfare check showed Burke allegedly telling deputies he met Celeste once at the beach and that she told him she was eighteen. Prosecutors say she was thirteen and the relationship had been ongoing.Financial testimony established that Burke's music career generated more than ten million dollars during the years surrounding the alleged crime. His former finance director also testified about a switch to encrypted communications, discussions about moving money, and property title transfers — all occurring after the remains were found. The finance director remains on a monthly retainer working with Burke's family.The defense challenged the investigation's evidence handling and preservation at every turn. The hearing continues over multiple days.LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy's trial is underway in Plymouth Superior Court. The facts are not in dispute. She killed her three children in their Duxbury home on January 24, 2023. The question is whether postpartum psychosis made her unable to appreciate what she was doing — and that question depends on a diagnosis her doctors allegedly never made while they had the chance.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski for the full conversation on the clinical reality behind this case. The interview covers three distinct lanes. The spectrum — baby blues versus postpartum depression versus psychosis, what her providers allegedly charted versus what she was reportedly describing, and the bipolar diagnosis that arrived after the killings instead of before. The treatment timeline — thirteen medications, five providers, seventeen-minute appointments, a suicide hotline that turned her away, and a system that allegedly never assembled the complete picture. And the public divide — why people split on this case, why the judge blocked lay witnesses, and what justice looks like when every possible outcome is a loss.Shavaun explains why a woman in psychosis can appear functional to everyone around her, why the prescribing chain may have accelerated her crisis, and why the public's insistence on choosing between monster and patient reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of what psychotic illness does to a brain.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, discuss the Lindsay Clancy case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

An eighteen-year-old's phone left Horn Island on a sinking boat. The eighteen-year-old didn't. His friends had it. His mother didn't know.Christine Wonsley found out her son was missing at 11 PM on July 4th — seven hours after his friends left the island. She found out they had his phone only because she went looking for it herself. When she got it back, the Snapchat history from that day was empty. Her son used Snapchat all the time.That phone is now headed for a joint forensic examination with the FBI assisting. This episode traces every hand that touched that device between Horn Island and the forensic lab. It explains how digital forensics distinguishes between messages that were deleted by a person and messages that simply never existed. It lays out the three possible outcomes — and why one of them clears the friends entirely.The phone's location data, cross-referenced against the friends' devices, will show whether Nolan's phone was ever separated from the group. Cell tower records, GPS logs, app-level timestamps, and cached Snapchat databases each tell their own version of events. Each layer is independent. Each layer is nearly impossible to fake. And each one either matches the friends' story or it doesn't.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The facts in the Lindsay Clancy case are not in dispute. She killed her three children. Her defense admits it. Her husband admits it. The question splitting the public is whether she is a murderer or a casualty — and Shavaun Scott tells Tony Brueski why almost nobody watching can sit with the possibility that both might be true.The prosecution says Lindsay timed her husband's departure. The defense says she was terrified to be alone. The public picks a side and digs in. Shavaun explains why the binary — planned or psychotic, monster or patient — is the wrong framework for understanding what happened, and why the discomfort people feel when confronted with a more complicated answer says more about how we process mental illness than it does about Lindsay Clancy.Dozens of women wanted to tell the jury about their own psychosis — the voices, the commands. The judge blocked their testimony. Shavaun addresses what that means for jurors who have never encountered the condition they are being asked to evaluate. She compares the public response to Lindsay with the response to Andrea Yates and asks what decides which women the audience is willing to believe.The conversation closes on what Patrick Clancy said — that he was not married to a monster but to someone who got sick — and what justice looks like when the person and the illness cannot be cleanly separated.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, discuss the Lindsay Clancy case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Joseph Duggar case keeps drawing comparisons to 2003 — and the family at the center of it is the reason why. When Kendra Duggar’s relatives discovered a child had been harmed, they made the call the Duggars never made a generation ago. This is the Joseph Duggar update that shows exactly what that kind of courage costs.Here are the facts. Joseph Duggar, thirty-one, seventh of nineteen Duggar children, faces two felony counts in Bay County, Florida — one a life felony involving a girl who was nine years old at the time. He has pleaded not guilty. Police say he admitted it twice, including on a recorded call. His parents posted the six-hundred-thousand-dollar bond.The relatives who went to police are the Caldwells, the family Kendra grew up in. Her father is a Baptist pastor. In 2003, when this family faced a nearly identical crisis with a different son, the answer was a quiet talk with a family friend instead of a police report. That friend is now serving fifty-six years. The Caldwells chose the opposite path. And they are still paying for it.This episode follows what happens to the people who refuse to look away. Four counts in Arkansas. Four children. A set of locks. And a price the Caldwells paid that goes well beyond a house or a paycheck.What that price is, I will leave for the video.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before January 24, 2023, Lindsay Clancy had done everything a struggling mother is supposed to do. She sought treatment. She called hotlines. She admitted herself to hospitals. She filled every prescription. The defense argues the system that was supposed to save her chemically destabilized her instead.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott sits down with Tony Brueski to examine what was happening to Lindsay clinically — not the legal arguments but the treatment. Thirteen medications over four months from providers who allegedly were not sharing records or coordinating care. Three benzodiazepines. An antipsychotic her husband said made her ten thousand times worse. Dosages that went up when the family was begging for them to come down.Lindsay called a suicide hotline and was turned away. She spent three days in a psychiatric hospital before being evaluated. Her nurse practitioner allegedly never returned a follow-up call from a referring facility. The malpractice lawsuit filed by both Lindsay and Patrick Clancy describes a prescribing chain where each provider treated a fragment of her condition without seeing the whole picture.Shavaun walks through what thirteen medications do to a brain that was never properly diagnosed, why seventeen-minute appointments produce prescriptions instead of answers, and whether the pattern that failed Lindsay is unique to her case or standard practice in postpartum mental health care.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, discuss the Lindsay Clancy case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy is on trial for the murders of her three children in Duxbury, Massachusetts. Her defense concedes she killed them. They argue she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis and could not appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions. The prosecution says her behavior that day proves intent.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, sits down with Tony Brueski to examine the clinical foundation the entire case rests on. The public treats postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis as the same condition at different severity levels. They are not. Depression is a mood disorder. Psychosis is a break from reality — delusions, disorganized thinking, impaired reality testing, and in some cases voices directing the person to act. The clinical difference between those two diagnoses is the difference between sadness and a psychiatric emergency.Lindsay was reportedly describing command hallucinations to her providers, but the records allegedly reflected intrusive thoughts. That charting distinction carries enormous weight at trial. She was later diagnosed with Bipolar I disorder after the killings — a condition her treating providers had noted as a possibility but never confirmed. Antidepressants given to someone with undiagnosed bipolar disorder are known to trigger the exact psychotic episodes the treatment was supposed to prevent.Shavaun explains where the clinical line falls, what a command hallucination sounds like from the inside, and whether someone in psychosis can appear fully coherent to every person around them.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, discuss the Lindsay Clancy case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The DA informed Nolan Wells' family that the case will go before a grand jury. The internet heard "criminal charges." The DA's office meant something else entirely — a procedural checkpoint Jackson County applies to any death that remains unexplained. One of those readings made national news. The other disappeared.This episode lays out how the Mississippi grand jury system actually functions, what authority it holds, and why the distance between public expectation and legal reality could shape whether this family ever gets answers.Mississippi runs its grand juries behind a wall. A panel of citizens drawn from the county's voter rolls sits with only the prosecutor and called witnesses. Defense lawyers are barred. So are defendants, journalists, and the public. Most Mississippi grand juries do not even use a court reporter — no transcript exists. When the panel deliberates and votes, the prosecutor exits the room. The jurors decide alone.Three outcomes are possible: formal charges, outright dismissal, or a decision to table the case for a future court term. None requires a public explanation. But the grand jury also wields investigative muscle that most observers overlook — it can compel any witness to appear, testify solo and under oath, with no attorney beside them.That authority matters here. The friends who boated to Horn Island with Nolan and returned without him have offered competing versions of what happened. A young woman on the island says Nolan planned to head back with the group. The group says he wanted to stay. Somebody is wrong. A grand jury is built to answer exactly that kind of question — behind closed doors, under penalty of perjury, one witness at a time.The state and independent autopsies are both outstanding. The phone data has not been reviewed. The evidence file is still incomplete — and what is in it when those jurors sit down will dictate every outcome that follows.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, the prosecution wants the jury to know what she did for a living — and to draw a very specific conclusion from it.She was a labor and delivery nurse. The Commonwealth's argument is that a woman with that training knew how the mental health system evaluates a patient, knew what to report, and knew how to shape what people saw. Kevin Reddington's answer is that she was the one patient in the entire chain who could name what was happening to her, and every institution she named it to still sent her home.This is the complete three-part conversation between Tony Brueski and criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta.The opening segment works through the prosecution file — the text about not feeling like cooking, the dinner order, the errand that put her husband on the road for roughly fifty minutes, and a note prosecutors say she typed about her older children months before. The middle segment takes on the defense, including a ruling that keeps women who have survived postpartum psychosis out of the witness box, the medication history her lawyer describes as roughly thirteen prescriptions in about four months, and the nineteen days between a psychiatric discharge and three deaths. The final segment asks what any verdict here is supposed to accomplish, given that one path leads to a state hospital and the other to mandatory life without parole.There is also Patrick Clancy, who buried three children, asked the public to forgive his wife, is suing her doctors, and is going to testify.Cora, Dawson, and Callan were five, three, and eight months old. Everything in that courtroom is being argued through their mother.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The pattern matters more than any single ruling. In eleven days, the prosecution in the Lindsay Clancy trial made three moves that all point the same direction: narrowing who gets to explain her mind to the jury.On July 9, prosecutors dropped all three strangulation charges. They called them redundant, and legally that is correct. But strangulation charges sitting next to murder charges give a jury room to land somewhere in the middle. Without them the only options are first-degree murder, life, mandatory — or not criminally responsible.On July 13, Judge William Sullivan blocked the defense from calling women who survived postpartum psychosis to testify about their experience. Reddington wanted them on the stand. Prosecutors argued it would open the door to women who suffered the same illness and did not kill their children. The judge agreed and said experts can cover it.On July 20, the first morning of jury selection, the prosecution moved to exclude defense expert witnesses before a single juror was seated. The judge allowed the motion but called it premature. It can be renewed at any time.Tony explains what the pattern reveals about the Commonwealth's strategy. Why the reversed burden of proof in Massachusetts makes every blocked witness a tactical win for the prosecution. What Reddington tried to do about it and why the judge turned him down. And what the defense has left to put in front of eighteen strangers who will decide what happened inside a woman's mind.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Lindsay Clancy verdict has two possible outcomes, and neither one of them ends with her going home. Most people following this trial do not realize that.A finding of lack of criminal responsibility in Massachusetts leads toward commitment in a state psychiatric hospital, with reviews to determine whether release is ever appropriate. A first-degree murder conviction carries mandatory life without parole, with no discretion left to the judge at all. One path is a locked hospital, the other is a locked prison, and the jury is choosing between them based on what it concludes about a mind.Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski for the argument underneath all of it. Why the Commonwealth is prosecuting this case with the intensity it is when the alternative already ends in confinement. What society gets out of putting a permanently disabled woman into a prison system that will spend the rest of her life managing her medical needs. Whether the rulings coming out of Plymouth Superior Court have been even-handed, given that the sentence itself allows for nothing.There is a second courtroom in this story that nobody talks about. Both Lindsay and Patrick Clancy have sued the medical providers who treated her. If those civil claims succeed on the theory that the treatment triggered the break, the people who prescribed will pay money and continue practicing. She will be the only human being who ever stood in front of a jury over these deaths.And the question that keeps getting pushed to the back of every conversation — what does justice for Cora, Dawson, and Callan actually look like when every argument in the building is about their mother?END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In 2015, a statement went out under Josh Duggar's name that admitted he'd been living a double life, admitted he'd been unfaithful, and admitted in his own words that he had "acted inexcusably" and "hurt others." It ended his television show. It ended his public career. The entire country read it.In 2025, Josh Duggar told a federal judge he never wrote it.That's the argument sitting inside a motion he filed asking for a new trial. He claims television producers put those words in his mouth, that the confession America watched him make was somebody else's script. And it's only one of eight grounds he raised. He argued a part-time employee could've been the real culprit. He argued the government's forensic expert doctored evidence and lied under oath. He argued the whole prosecution was political.And then, in a paragraph that stops you cold, he argued that his own sisters, the girls he admitted harming as a teenager, had wronged him, because their confidential records were made public.A federal judge denied the motion. But the denial isn't the point. What Josh Duggar chose to put in writing is. He isn't serving his sentence. He's going back through his own life with an eraser.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Lindsay Clancy insanity defense has a problem, and it is not the evidence — it is who a Massachusetts judge will and will not let into the courtroom.Kevin Reddington's plan was to have women who have survived postpartum psychosis describe it to the jury themselves. Real people, real experiences, no expert reports. Judge William Sullivan shut that down. Only clinicians retained for the trial may explain the condition, which puts the defense in the position of asking twelve people to believe in something they will only ever hear about secondhand and on somebody's dime.The underlying case Reddington is building is documented in medical records and two civil lawsuits. Lindsay Clancy told her husband at the end of December that she was having thoughts of hurting her kids. She admitted herself to a psychiatric hospital on New Year's Eve. Nineteen days after her discharge, all three of her children were gone. Her attorney has put the prescription count at roughly thirteen psychiatric medications over about four months.Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to work the defense side. Whether this case can function as the spotlight on a broken mental health system that it probably should be. How a jury processes the idea that planning and psychosis are not opposites. What to do with Patrick Clancy, who lost all three of his children and then publicly forgave the person responsible.And the hardest strategic call in the case — whether to put a paralyzed, fragile defendant in front of a prosecutor who will not go easy on her, because she is the only person alive who can tell that jury what she heard.Cora was five. Dawson was three. Callan was eight months old. The defense says none of it had to happen.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial is underway in Plymouth Superior Court, and the Commonwealth's most damaging piece of evidence may be something she wrote herself.Prosecutors have told the court that months before her three children died, Lindsay Clancy left a note on her phone about her two older kids. It has been read aloud in a courtroom already. It will be read again in front of a jury, and everybody in that room knows exactly what it does to a person hearing it cold.Around it sits a timeline the state has assembled out of nothing but ordinary domestic life. A message about not wanting to cook. Dinner ordered. A husband sent out for takeout and a prescription. A window of roughly fifty minutes. Prosecutors say she measured it. They have charged her with three counts of first-degree murder and argued this was deliberate.Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to work through what the Commonwealth actually has and where it is weaker than it looks. The central problem for the prosecution is one most people have never thought about — a person in a full psychotic episode does not necessarily look like one. They can answer a phone. They can order food. They can pass, right up until they do not.There is also the matter of her profession, which the state intends to hold up as evidence that she understood the language of mental health well enough to use it. Her lawyers see the same fact and call it proof that the system failed the one patient who knew how to ask.Cora. Dawson. Callan. Five, three, and eight months old. The verdict turns on what was in her head, and the state says her phone already answered that.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Between September 2022 and January 2023, Lindsay Clancy was prescribed at least nine psychiatric medications by providers who diagnosed her with anxiety and depression. According to both civil lawsuits filed in her case, what she was actually experiencing was something entirely different — auditory hallucinations, command voices, and a psychiatric emergency her providers never identified.This episode explains what postpartum psychosis is and why most people — including many medical professionals — confuse it with postpartum depression. They are not the same condition. They are not on the same spectrum. Postpartum depression involves sadness, fatigue, and difficulty bonding. Postpartum psychosis involves a break from reality so complete that the person experiencing it cannot tell the difference between a hallucination and the world in front of them. It affects one to two mothers in every thousand births, and there is no standardized screening for it in routine postnatal care anywhere in the country.Lindsay was a labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital. She went to her providers, called crisis lines, and admitted herself to McLean Hospital with suicidal ideation. She described what she thought were intrusive thoughts. According to a forensic psychiatric evaluation, she had undiagnosed Bipolar Disorder I — a condition where antidepressants can trigger the exact psychotic episodes her doctors kept failing to recognize. Her husband Patrick described her as acting like a zombie on her medications. An outside hospital determined she was overmedicated and misdiagnosed.Her murder trial begins with jury selection on July 20. This is what the jury — and the audience — need to understand before it starts.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nolan Wells died off a Mississippi barrier island and nobody will say how. Lindsay Clancy is facing a Massachusetts jury and nobody can say what she understood. Two cases, one mailbag.Nolan Wells was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College, out at Horn Island on the Fourth of July with friends from Ocean Springs. The island is uninhabited and sits roughly ten miles offshore — no shelter, no water, no signal. His friends made it back. A National Park Service ranger found him in the water two mornings later. Two examinations exist, neither released, cause and manner of death undetermined. Ben Crump is investigating for the family. District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath has said a grand jury will see it.Lindsay Clancy, a former nurse, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan in Duxbury in January 2023. Kevin Reddington argues she was misdiagnosed and overmedicated into psychosis. Prosecutors have answered by pointing at other mothers who got sick and locked themselves away instead. Eighteen jurors are being seated. Patrick Clancy is on the defense witness list. She has never spoken to law enforcement.Tony Brueski reads all of it — every question about the boat, the island, the autopsies, the grand jury, the medications, and the verdict nobody can call justice.The mail on the Wells half goes at the boat ride, the two autopsies, and what a grand jury can do with a death nobody will classify. The Clancy half comes from mothers who recognize the illness, people who can't get past three children, and people asking what verdict could honestly be called justice.Both cases. Your questions.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A full breakdown of the Nolan Wells case in the order it actually happened — every logged timestamp, every competing account, start to finish.Two piles of material come out of that exercise and they don't weigh the same. One is verifiable: departure and arrival times, a distress call to a towing company, a run back through Fort Bayou, a recovery time on Monday morning. The other is everything people have stacked on top of those numbers, and it's guesswork all the way down — well-informed in spots, but guesswork.The sequence hits the stretch of afternoon nobody has accounted for. It hits the night the family spent chasing belongings through houses that weren't eager to hand them over. It hits the empty photo roll his mother says shouldn't have been empty, and the friend who says nobody's photo roll had anything on it, because everyone was standing waist-deep in the Gulf. It hits the thirteen hours between a friend's late call for help and the first aircraft in the air, and gives that gap both the family's reading and the reasonable operational one.And it hits the morning Nolan's father went out on his own, before any agency arrived, and covered the exact water where his son would surface a day later.Images generated by AI have been circulating alongside the real material, which creates its own obstacle for anyone trying to follow this honestly. Tony Brueski doesn't resolve the contradictions, because they aren't resolved. He names them, gives each side its strongest form, and leaves the open questions open. More than sixty people have sat for interviews. There's still nothing official explaining how an eighteen-year-old ended up where he was found.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Everybody knows Lindsay Clancy was sick. The defense will prove it, the prosecution won't seriously contest it, and her husband has been saying it publicly since the beginning. That's not the fight. The fight is what she understood while it was happening.Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan at the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023. Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, has argued for years that she was misdiagnosed and overmedicated and that what followed was psychosis she could not control.The Commonwealth's answer showed up in a pretrial fight over witnesses. Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague, arguing against letting other mothers testify about postpartum illness, described women who went through it and locked themselves away from their children, or drove off rather than risk it. Judge William Sullivan ruled those witnesses out. The idea behind the objection is going to trial anyway.Tony Brueski opens the mailbag on a case that has divided this audience straight down the middle — mothers who recognize the illness, people who can't get past three children in a basement, and people stuck holding both at once.Sullivan is seating eighteen jurors, six more than the standard panel. Patrick Clancy, who has said publicly that he forgave his wife, is listed as a defense witness. Lindsay Clancy is paralyzed from the waist down and has been held at Tewksbury State Hospital since her arrest.She has never spoken to law enforcement. A jury is being asked to read a mind that has never made a statement — using prescription records, a search history, and the words of people who were not in that house when it happened.A conviction means life without parole. A finding of not guilty by reason of insanity means a hospital with periodic review. Cora was five. Dawson was three. Callan was eight months.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Siders family in Ohio and the Duggar family in Arkansas have never been mentioned in the same breath. After you hear this, you will not be able to separate them.Sixteen children were pulled from a Hamden, Ohio house on June thirtieth of 2026 — found by accident, when deputies arrived to serve a warrant on something else entirely. The oldest is eighteen. She cannot spell her own name. Four adults face sixteen felony counts each and have pleaded not guilty.Months earlier and hundreds of miles away, the state removed all four of Joseph and Kendra Duggar's children. Each parent faces four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts of false imprisonment. Both pleaded not guilty. Joseph separately faces two felonies in Florida involving a child under twelve.Both families kept their children off the books. No enrollment records. No medical records. No mandated reporter in the building. Both families ended up watching the state take their kids.And then the paths split. Bond in Ohio was three hundred thousand dollars, and one defendant's lawyer told a judge his client cannot afford any bond at all. Bond in Florida was six hundred thousand dollars, and Joseph Duggar posted it and flew home with his father in the courtroom.Tony Brueski walks both paper trails, including the Arkansas state trooper Jim Bob Duggar took his son to in 2003 instead of calling a hotline — a mandated reporter who filed nothing, and who is now serving fifty-six years on charges of his own. That is more than four times the sentence Josh Duggar received.Same play. Same missing paperwork. One checkbook.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A second autopsy is supposed to be a backstop. In the Nolan Wells case it has become the whole argument — because the family arranged one, sent their eighteen-year-old's body to Washington, D.C. for it, and still doesn't have an answer.Neither examination has been released. Not the one done by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner's Office, and not the one the family paid for. Cause and manner of death remain undetermined. Attorney Ben Crump initially suggested the independent findings would land quickly, then said he hoped to share them soon.Tony Brueski takes the mailbag on the credibility collapse in this case. Investigators signaled early that they believed Nolan drowned and did not suspect foul play — before there was a finished autopsy to point at. The sheriff's office has since underscored that the work of determining exactly what occurred is ongoing.Then there's the device. Crump has said Nolan's friends carried his phone off Horn Island and that when the family received it, messages had been deleted. Crump's specialists and county investigators agreed to inspect it jointly.The questions in this episode go where nobody official will. What if the two examinations disagree. Who wins that fight. Whether a grand jury can indict anyone for a death that has never been formally classified. District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath has said the case goes to a grand jury once the investigation is complete.And the harder question under that: whether anything that happened on that island is chargeable at all, or whether the worst outcome here is a young man dying and the law having nothing to say about it.The family already answered one question by shipping their son out of state.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Everybody arguing about the Nolan Wells case online is arguing about the wrong hour. Not the autopsy. Not the phone. The boat ride home — the moment a group of eighteen-year-olds untied from a barrier island and left one of their own behind on it.Horn Island sits about ten miles off Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The National Park Service keeps it undeveloped. There is no shelter out there, no drinking water, no store, no cell tower. For one day a year it's the best party on the coast. Every other hour of the year it's empty, and after dark on the Fourth it goes right back to empty.Nolan Wells was a college wide receiver, eighteen years old, out there with kids he grew up with. They came home. He was found in the water two days later by a National Park Service ranger, off the island's northwestern tip.Tony reads the mailbag straight. Nobody wrote in asking about tide charts. They wrote in asking how you get on a boat and look at an empty seat and pull away from the dock. They wrote in asking whether anybody counted. They wrote in asking what that island offers a person who's still on it at midnight, alone, with no way to call anyone.The sheriff's office has said a friend reached the Coast Guard that night and that Nolan's mother called the sheriff's office soon after. Officials have said they believe he drowned while simultaneously insisting the work to determine what actually occurred is ongoing.No cause of death has been released. Ben Crump is investigating for the family. A grand jury is coming.The island first. Then everything else.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There's a photograph from a Fourth of July boat trip, and Nolan Wells is the only person of color in it. Days later, he's the only one from that group who isn't coming home. That single fact is why the Nolan Wells case has gripped the country — and why the questions around it are so hard to put down.Wells, an 18-year-old from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, went out to Horn Island with friends and never made it back. His body turned up in the water off the northwest tip of the island. The sheriff said he chose to stay behind. The autopsy is finished but sealed. And the answers his family is asking for — how he ended up alone out there, why help was so slow, what actually happened before he died — still don't exist.This isn't a rush to judgment in either direction. It's an argument for why this case has to be investigated all the way to the bottom, and why the people shouting the loudest on both sides are getting in the way of that. It walks through the 13-hour delay before the Coast Guard was called out, the "no foul play" statement that poured gasoline on everything, the witnesses too frightened to speak, and the long shadow of Mississippi's own record of looking away from deaths exactly like this one.The point isn't that one theory is right. The point is that nobody knows yet — and pretending otherwise dishonors a kid whose family is still just waiting to be told what happened to their son.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

One conversation. Three cases. Every angle covered.Lindsay Clancy's murder trial begins with jury selection July 20. The prosecution's key evidence: she allegedly checked Apple Maps to time her husband's fifty-four-minute errand. The defense: nine medications, command hallucinations, and a medical system that failed her at every checkpoint. The judge blocked mothers from testifying about their own psychosis.Nolan Wells went to Horn Island for the Fourth of July with friends who came home without him. His body was found two days later. The friends are telling investigators different stories. The family says his digital data was wiped. The FBI is involved but says the sheriff has jurisdiction.Sixteen children were found in a twelve-by-twelve room in Ohio. Some couldn't speak. One was critical. DNA testing is underway after the AG described the situation as "intrafamily." A gag order has stopped every official from talking.Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired FBI Special Agent, goes case by case with Tony and Robin. She examines whether psychosis and premeditation can coexist in the Clancy case, what the conflicting accounts from Nolan Wells' friends reveal about the investigation's direction, and what the Siders DNA testing could mean for additional charges beyond child endangerment.Three different cases. Three different institutions that failed. Coffindaffer connects the thread.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick Clancy’s three children are dead. His wife killed them. And he’s standing in a courtroom pointing at her doctors, not at her.Lindsay Clancy faces three counts of first-degree murder for the January 2023 deaths of Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months, in their Duxbury, Massachusetts home. She has admitted, through her attorney, that she caused their deaths. Her defense: postpartum psychosis so severe she heard a commanding voice she could not resist.What makes this case unlike any other insanity defense is Patrick. The father. The man who found the children. The man whose 911 call the prosecution wants to play for the jury. He is testifying for the defense. He filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Lindsay’s healthcare providers. He told The New Yorker he wasn’t married to a monster — he was married to someone who got sick.According to two malpractice lawsuits, Lindsay was prescribed at least ten psychiatric medications over four months by providers who failed to coordinate her care or correctly diagnose her condition. She hospitalized herself three times. She reported thoughts of harming her children. She called a crisis hotline and was told she didn’t qualify for help. Her husband begged a nurse to stop the medications and start over. They upped her dosage.One hospital had the chance to catch what was happening. They ruled out bipolar disorder and sent her home. A forensic evaluation after the killings diagnosed her with Bipolar Disorder I with psychosis and postpartum onset. The prosecution is now using that hospital’s assessment — the one the lawsuits say was wrong — as evidence that Lindsay was sane.Jury selection begins July 20. The question isn’t just whether Lindsay Clancy was legally responsible. It’s whether anyone else will ever be held accountable.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy checked a mapping application to calculate how long her husband's errand would take. Then, according to prosecutors, she used that fifty-four-minute window to end the lives of Cora, Dawson, and Callan.The defense says she was hearing a voice she couldn't refuse. Nine medications — eight prescribed in a three-week span. Psychiatric appointments that were virtual and lasted seventeen minutes. A hospital that told her she was overmedicated and misdiagnosed, then sent her home without follow-up. Her attorney offered to formally admit she was responsible for all three deaths if the judge would split the trial into two phases: guilt first, sanity second. The judge refused.Now the jury will hear the confession and the psychosis evidence at the same time. The judge also blocked other mothers from testifying about their own experiences with postpartum psychosis — ruling that medical experts can cover the condition adequately. Fifteen women had contacted the defense wanting to tell the jury they had heard the same kind of voices.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer sits down with Tony and Robin to walk through the implications. Can psychosis and planning coexist? Did the judge's rulings just tilt the trial toward the prosecution? And how does a jury process a father — Patrick Clancy — who forgave his wife, sued her doctors, and is taking the stand for the defense?Jury selection begins July 20 in Plymouth Superior Court. The trial is expected to run four to six weeks. Lindsay Clancy is paralyzed and in a wheelchair. The system that prescribed her nine medications has never been in a courtroom.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nobody made him do it. That is the part worth sitting with in the Joseph Duggar case.When the Josh Duggar story broke in 2015, most of the family said nothing. Joseph did not. He went on a TLC camera in December of that year and described his brother's secret life out loud, for an audience of millions. He said you would never suspect the man standing up preaching about being true to your wife. He said it broke his heart.Then came 2020, and a family vacation in Panama City Beach, and an arrest affidavit that Bay County, Florida investigators filed in March of 2026. Joseph Duggar has pleaded not guilty and demanded a jury trial.Tony Brueski puts the two brothers side by side and refuses to dodge the question. Josh Duggar was convicted by a federal jury in December of 2021 and is serving 151 months. Joseph is home in Arkansas on bond, and his Florida case was continued on July 14, 2026.But the spine of this story is not a brother at all. It is a decision Jim Bob Duggar made in July of 2003, sixteen months after his son first confessed to him — a decision that guaranteed the three-year clock ran out before any investigator ever opened a file.There is a doctrine underneath that decision. There is a television interview from June of 2015 that most people have forgotten. There is a jail email. And there is a second criminal case in Tontitown, Arkansas that has nothing to do with Florida.Twenty-three years, two sons, and one question nobody in that family has ever answered.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ohio's Attorney General used one word to describe the Siders case that most people skipped right past: "intrafamily." That word isn't an accident. It carries implications that go well beyond the sixteen counts of child endangerment on the books against four adults.Sixteen children were found in a room the size of a walk-in closet. Some couldn't speak. One was flown to Columbus by helicopter in critical condition. Birth certificates list Elizabeth and Gary Siders Jr. as the parents of all sixteen, but DNA testing is underway — and the Attorney General's characterization raises the question of whether the family tree is exactly what the certificates say it is.Elizabeth Siders was fifteen when she married Gary Jr. She was allegedly thirteen when her first child was born. Her family says she was indoctrinated and estranged for fifteen years. Her attorney says she wants to be reunited with her children. Prosecutors say she's a defendant.Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks it all down with Tony and Robin — the DNA testing, the gag order that one defendant's attorney used to silence every official in the case, whether the grandparents were the true architects of eighteen years of isolation, and whether the charges on the table are anywhere close to matching what actually happened inside that house.The gag order is doing its job. The officials are silent. The public is not.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nolan Wells went to Horn Island on the Fourth of July with a group of friends. They came back. He didn't. Two days later, his body was pulled from the water by a park ranger — and the people closest to him started offering different accounts of what happened.The Wells family says his Snapchat data was wiped after his death. The FBI is running forensics on his phone. Over sixty witnesses have been interviewed. Death threats linked to the case are under separate investigation. And the friends who left Nolan behind on a federally protected island without water or transportation have given investigators stories that contradict each other.Jennifer Coffindaffer, a retired FBI Special Agent, joins Tony and Robin to examine the cracks forming between the friends' public statements and the facts investigators are piecing together. She addresses the Snapchat allegation directly — whether it constitutes evidence of a cover-up or whether there are plausible explanations — and what it means that the FBI is involved but maintains the local sheriff has jurisdiction despite Horn Island being federal land.The case is being investigated as a death — not yet classified as a crime. But the distance between what the friends are saying and what the evidence appears to show is growing. Coffindaffer walks through what that gap means from an investigative standpoint and why the next thirty days may determine whether anyone is ever held accountable for leaving an eighteen-year-old alone on an island.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two very different conspiracy theories have followed the University of Idaho murders, and Tony Brueski takes both apart in this combined breakdown of the Kohberger case. One theory destroyed an innocent man's reputation before an arrest was ever made. The other tries to undo a guilty plea years later. Before Bryan Kohberger was ever a suspect, the internet had already decided who did it, a young man grieving the woman he loved. He was blamed for calling her repeatedly that morning, a fact with a heartbreaking, entirely innocent explanation once the timeline is laid out in full. We go through why the roommates' hours-long delay in calling 911 isn't what people think it proves, what their private writings actually show, and why a judge looked at the alternate suspects online sleuths pushed and called the theory rank speculation. Then there's the sheath. Kohberger's DNA turned up on the snap of a leather knife sheath left in a victim's bed, and the lab says it wasn't a trace amount, it was hundreds of times more genetic material than investigators usually see in a case like this. We break down the unidentified blood in the house, the mismatched DNA under a victim's fingernails, the hair theory, the claim that genetic genealogy was hidden from the court, and the Amazon order for the murder weapon's exact make. A guilty plea doesn't erase every question people have, but stacked next to the DNA, the phone data, the car, and the scanner activity, it isn't the kind of confession that matches wrongful conviction cases. This episode separates what's actually unresolved from what the internet just won't let go of, and looks at why an absent motive kept fueling doubt long after the plea was entered. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two sheriff's departments, one phone call, and a yearbook photo, that's as close as anyone came to stopping what happened to Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Tony Brueski lays out the full D4vd case for Hidden Killers, starting with the welfare check that should have changed everything and didn't. Celeste was reported missing from Lake Elsinore three separate times in early 2024. Riverside County deputies traced her phone records back to musician David Burke and called him. LA County deputies then went to Burke's West Hollywood home. He showed them a yearbook photo, claimed he'd met her once, and deputies told him straight to his face that she was thirteen and a runaway. Then they walked out the door. Prosecutors say what followed was calculated. Burke allegedly paid one of Celeste's junior high classmates a thousand dollars to slip her a new phone so contact never had to stop. Over the next year, she reportedly traveled with him to Las Vegas, London, and Texas, met his family, got matching tattoos, and had his name on her ring finger, all while she was still in seventh grade. Then there's the art. D4vd's biggest song, his album title, and the alter ego built around it all echo what prosecutors now allege took place inside a Hollywood Hills home. Seven months separated the discovery of Celeste's remains from Burke's arrest. Three grand jury panels heard testimony in that window. A friend fled to Montana to dodge a subpoena, and Burke's own family fought the grand jury in a Texas courtroom rather than answer questions. He now faces first-degree murder with special circumstances, including lying in wait, murder for financial gain, and murder of a witness. Prosecutors say the financial gain charge points directly at motive tied to Burke's public career. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For eighteen years, sixteen children were essentially invisible, and the woman who gave birth to every one of them is now the one facing charges. Tony Brueski, Robin, and defense attorney Eric Faddis take on the Siders case and the question sitting at its center: can Elizabeth Siders be both the defendant and someone this system also failed? She was fifteen when she married Gary Siders Junior in West Virginia. Faddis, a former prosecutor, breaks down what her attorney's argument actually does to the prosecution's case, and whether Ohio law even allows a person to occupy both roles at once. It's not a technicality. It's a question that could unravel how these sixteen felony counts get prosecuted from here, especially given that she herself grew up inside that same household. The bigger picture is just as damning. A Vinton County judge has gagged the Attorney General's office, the sheriff, and the prosecutor, all at the request of the man whose indecent exposure warrant led deputies into that house in the first place. Five years before that discovery, Gallia County Juvenile Court filed six truancy complaints on this family and documented that six children had vanished from school entirely, then closed the case because nobody could find them. Nobody escalated. Nobody called children's services. Gary Siders Senior, the seventy-three-year-old grandfather, faces sixteen felony counts himself and walked out of custody on a recognizance bond after his attorney filed five competency motions questioning whether he can even stand trial. Ohio has already approved a million dollars in emergency funding to cover the fallout, and officials who've seen the property describe conditions worse than what most people would tolerate for animals. We go through the charges, the silence, and where the system's failures actually begin. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Somewhere in this Nancy Guthrie case, the truth got lost in the paperwork, and Tony Brueski found it while combing through the record. The man who sent fake ransom demands to her family, while search teams were trying to find her, just took a plea deal that looks more like a parking ticket than a threat wired straight into a grieving family's phone. Harassment. That's the charge he pleaded to. Two years capped at the federal level, but he walked away with five years of probation and every count running concurrently. Retired FBI special agent Jennifer Coffindaffer called it a travesty on the record, and she's not wrong to worry, investigators are already tracking a dozen copycat extortion attempts agents have nicknamed the TMZ Twelve. Then there's the four-million-dollar ransom note, the strange apology letter mailed only to local television stations calling Nancy's death an accident, and the fact that both were reportedly traced back to the same IP address, one of the few solid threads investigators actually have. Porch Guy, the person connected to the case, still hasn't been identified or picked up. Meanwhile, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is fielding his own set of questions. Discrepancies in his record, a reporter pushing back, and an answer that amounted to telling him to enjoy his hit piece. The FBI and the Sheriff's Department can't agree on jurisdiction, can't agree on which ransom notes are real, and reportedly disagree internally over whether some of the evidence even holds up. One of the case's most valuable physical clues reportedly flew to Florida and back before investigators ever ran it against a database, a detail that hasn't gotten nearly the attention it deserves given everything riding on it. Nancy Guthrie is still missing. This is where the case actually stands. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sixteen children were living in a house in Hamden, Ohio, and for years the people closest to that house managed not to see a single one of them. That's the part of the Siders case Tony Brueski won't let go of. It starts with an accident. Deputies in Vinton County went to that address to serve a warrant on an unrelated matter — not a welfare check, not a tip about children. Ohio's Attorney General has confirmed nobody expected to find kids inside. The school district had no enrollment records for any of them. The oldest is eighteen and, according to investigators, couldn't write her own name. Then the neighborhood starts talking. Store employees describe years of odd details — the clothing, the hygiene, the closing-time shopping trips — all recalled with perfect clarity only after arrests made the news. A man who lived seventy feet from that house says he never once saw a child there in six years. A psychotherapist breaks down the exact mental shortcuts behind that kind of blindness, and why they're not unique to this town. Four adults are charged with sixteen counts each of second-degree felony child endangering. All four have entered not-guilty pleas. No indictment has come down yet. From there, Tony widens the lens: a mandated-reporter system built on duty with almost no teeth behind it, a child-welfare funding model that rewards removal over discovery, and a case out of Washington, D.C. where four girls died inside a system a federal judge had personally overseen for nineteen years. Sixteen kids, found by luck. Ask yourself what it would've taken to find them on purpose. Social Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There's a basic skill an eighteen-year-old in the Siders case never developed, and it's not because nobody tried — it's because her mind formed inside a sealed-off house with no school, no strangers, no world beyond four walls. Sixteen children, one Hamden, Ohio address, and a town that swears it saw nothing.Tony and Robin trace how that silence held for years. A Dollar General employee produced a flawless account of the family the moment reporters asked — hygiene, clothing, shopping habits, all recalled in detail. Before the arrests, none of it surfaced. A neighbor a few doors down claims six years without spotting a child. DoorDash drivers who regularly encountered the oldest son noticed nothing worth reporting. The Attorney General points to deliberate record-avoidance by the family — accurate, but avoidance like that only works when the people nearby choose not to look closer.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott then walks through what that isolation actually did to the children inside. She takes apart the AG's description of them as "almost feral," explaining what that label leaves out. Some of the sixteen can't speak in any conventional way, and Scott describes what forms between siblings who've only ever had each other for language. None of them knew their situation was unusual — that house was simply the world, and unlearning that takes time. Scott raises the Turpin case as the clearest precedent: freedom and sympathy didn't guarantee safety for those thirteen kids either.Two questions, one house, no easy answer for either.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There's DNA on the rifle. There's a confession note. There's a suspect who turned himself in. The case against Tyler Robinson in the Charlie Kirk killing should be the easiest death-penalty prosecution Utah has seen — and the prosecutor nearly threw it away. The deputy county attorney gave a TMZ interview that crossed the line drawn by the court's gag order, and a judge found him in civil contempt for it. The defense moved to strip the death penalty as a sanction. The judge refused that specific request, but he still expanded jury selection and ordered the county to cover the defense's legal fees — a decision that will follow this case into every remaining hearing.It's not the only front this episode covers. A theory has taken hold online claiming Robinson isn't the real shooter — that he's covering for someone else, and the actual killer is still out there. Tony runs both leading versions of that theory against what came out under oath: the confession note under Robinson's own keyboard, the DNA on the recovered rifle, the engraved shell casings matched to a tool from his home, and the surveillance trail placing him on campus and in the woods where the weapon was found. He also tackles the harder-to-dismiss anomalies — no casings on the rooftop, a second bullet in another building, the ATF's failure to match the fatal round.None of this is about mocking the people asking. The questions are fair. What isn't up for debate is the single detail that undercuts the entire conspiracy — a decision Robinson's own defense attorney made over five days of proceedings with his client's life on the line. Tony connects the prosecutor's misstep and the theory refusing to die in one full breakdown.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Siders family in Hamden, Ohio, spent eighteen years as a family nobody on Ohmer Street could name. Then a Vinton County deputy showed up to serve a misdemeanor warrant and found sixteen children packed into a five-room house — some who'd never spoken a word, never learned to read, never seen the inside of a school.The Attorney General didn't mince words: "pure evil," conditions where another day might have meant deaths. The sheriff said the family's livestock had it better than the kids did. Four adults now face sixty-eight felony counts of child endangerment, and a grand jury hasn't even weighed in yet. The word the AG chose — intrafamilial — is doing a lot of quiet, heavy lifting in this case.What makes it land harder is how avoidable it should have been. Sixteen hospital births over eighteen years, roughly one every thirteen months, and not a single doctor or nurse raised a flag. Ohio gutted its homeschool oversight back in 2023, so no truancy officer ever came knocking. And Elizabeth Siders — one of the four adults now charged — was herself married at fifteen, with a judge's approval, in a state that sets no minimum age for marriage at all.Tony walks through how a household of eighteen people stayed invisible to hospitals, schools, and courts for two decades, and what it says about a state that keeps building the very blind spots that let this happen. This is the case that turns a routine warrant into a reckoning for three different institutions at once.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nolan Wells didn't drown on Horn Island so much as he disappeared into a story nobody can quite make add up. Three friends went out with him on the Fourth of July. Three friends came back. His phone turned up later at the boat owner's house — both Snapchat accounts scrubbed, no call to his mother to say it had been found. The official reason Nolan got left behind is that the boat was taking on water, a claim that a marine mechanic could confirm or blow apart with a look at the bilge pump — a look nobody seems to have taken, since there's no sign the boat has ever been impounded or examined. Meanwhile the friends have already lawyered up, and the one kid who was actually on the island with Nolan says investigators haven't so much as called him. A Jackson County judge's stepson was aboard that same boat. The Coast Guard logged a missing person report at 11 PM and passed on it. Two days later, and after a multi-agency search turned up nothing, Nolan's body was found exactly where he was last seen. His family didn't trust the state to give them a straight cause of death, so they ordered their own autopsy. Hundreds have marched through Ocean Springs demanding transparency, and the funeral will need an arena that seats ten thousand people. Somewhere between a wiped phone, an unexamined boat, and a sheriff who says his office won't be rushed, there's a version of the Fourth of July that a group of teenagers is working very hard to keep to themselves.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The attorney general called it pure evil. The sheriff said livestock lived better. A judge just ordered both of them — along with the prosecutor, the clerk, and all defense counsel — to stop talking about the Siders case publicly.The gag order was requested by Gary Siders Junior's attorney after officials described what they found inside a Hamden, Ohio, home: sixteen children in a twelve-by-twelve-foot room, covered in filth, some barely able to speak. The stated purpose is protecting the jury pool in a county of about twelve thousand people. The practical effect is shutting down the public accountability conversation at the exact moment Ohio legislators started demanding answers.Court records from 2021 show Gallia County knew six Siders children had disappeared from school — and closed the file when the family couldn't be found. Gary Senior walked free on a recognizance bond because the county couldn't afford to hold him. Ohio approved a million dollars in emergency foster care funding. Every one of these facts was disclosed at a public press conference. Under the gag order, those press conferences cannot happen again. The officials who found those children are now the ones ordered to be quiet. The systems that never went looking have not been asked to say a word.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In Mississippi, a sheriff declared no foul play in the death of Nolan Wells before the autopsy was complete, before toxicology was in, and before the FBI examined the phone. In Ohio, a county had truancy complaints on the Siders children five years before sixteen of them were found in a single room by officers executing an unrelated warrant. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis sits down for an extended conversation covering both cases — and the institutional failures that connect them.On Wells: the premature public call and what it did to the investigation's trajectory. The contradiction between the friends' account and the young woman's statement. The friend who appeared on Good Morning America and then Rolling Stone while the case was still open. The DA's agreement to present to a grand jury. On the Siders family: the gag order that silenced every official after the AG called conditions pure evil. Elizabeth Siders — married at fifteen, biological mother of all sixteen children, charged with sixteen felony counts, described by her own attorney as a possible victim. The grandfather who walked out because the county couldn't afford to keep him.Faddis brings a former prosecutor's lens to every question: who failed, what it costs, and what happens next.

The story of Nolan Wells has produced a dozen theories and almost no confirmed facts — and the gap between those two things is exactly where this breakdown lives.It opens where the family's doubt began: with a phone. Nolan photographed everything, so when his mother went through it after his death, what she found — and what she couldn't find — became the detail his family keeps coming back to. That's the thread we pull.Here's the Nolan Wells case, start to finish, as it actually stands. An 18-year-old athlete from Ocean Springs goes to Horn Island on the Fourth of July with high school friends. They come home. He doesn't. Two days later he's found in the water near the shoreline, and the coroner asks for a full autopsy because the circumstances don't sit right. From there the accounts splinter: two versions of the last conversation Nolan had, a viral video whose meaning is disputed by the people who were there, a phone the family believes was tampered with and friends who say it was simply left on a boat all day.We cover the contradictions one at a time — which ones dissolve under scrutiny, and which ones don't. We cover the "no foul play" statement that lit the fuse, the family flying the body out of state, the celebrity money behind the independent autopsy, and the race questions that got shut down before any results came back.And we land on the one thing everyone's screaming about that nobody actually has: a cause of death. This is the honest version — verified, careful, and clear about what's still unknown.

Elizabeth Siders was fifteen when she married into the family whose house would eventually hold sixteen children in a single room in rural Ohio. She gave birth to every one of them. She now faces sixteen felony counts. And her own defense attorney has argued in court filings that she may be a victim of this family — not a willing participant, but someone closer to the seventeenth person trapped inside those walls. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis walks through whether that argument has legal legs and what it does to the prosecution's strategy.A judge has issued a gag order covering every official who spoke about the case — filed by the defense after the AG called the conditions pure evil and the sheriff compared them to livestock. Faddis breaks down whether the prosecution may have handed the defense a constitutional argument by allowing those public statements before anyone was indicted. Meanwhile, the seventy-three-year-old grandfather walked out of jail because the county couldn't afford his medical bills, and his attorney has filed multiple competency motions.Faddis also addresses a question that hasn't received enough scrutiny: Gallia County filed six truancy complaints against this family in 2021. They were never served. The family moved and the system lost them. For eighteen years, sixteen children existed with almost no records. Where does the government's liability begin — and can any agency actually be held accountable?

Nolan Wells' case has a phone at the center of it — and whatever his mother found when she opened it after his death sits at the heart of everything unresolved here. This is the Nolan Wells timeline laid out plainly, without the version the internet already decided on.The 18-year-old football player from Ocean Springs, Mississippi went to Horn Island with friends over the Fourth of July. His friends made it home. He didn't. His body was pulled from the water two days later, and the accounts of his last hours don't agree with each other. A young woman told investigators he said he was getting back on the boat. His friends say he told them he was staying behind with her. Both can't be true, and nobody in charge has explained the gap.The sheriff called it no foul play before the autopsy, toxicology, or digital forensics were finished. The family disagreed enough to fly Nolan's body out of state for an independent look. A video that spread as "proof" of what happened turned out to be something else. Messages the family says were wiped from the phone are now with the FBI, and the roughly two hundred people who were on that remote island — with no cameras, no service, no staff — are the only real evidence trail left.Tony walks through the contradictions, the phone, the video, and the questions about race that officials tried to close before the science even weighed in. No theories, no fabrications — just what's actually been said, by whom, and where it stops holding together.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A reporter emailed Sheriff Chris Nanos about discrepancies in his official work history. The man leading the search for Nancy Guthrie wrote back one line, and it was not an answer.Tony Brueski lays out every contradiction the Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI have put on the record in the Nancy Guthrie case, and the picture they form is not a mystery. It is a collapse.Two public statements released forty-five minutes apart, the FBI saying local authorities are the lead and the Sheriff's Department saying ask the FBI. NewsNation reports both agencies have, at times, denied being the lead at all. A retired FBI agent's read is that both are positioning to avoid the blame.The FBI Director claiming his agents were locked out for four days, contradicted by an agent standing at a Tucson press conference on the third of February and by Patel's own on-camera words the same day. The plane he wanted credit for. The doorbell footage he wanted credit for.The glove found two miles from her house, sent to Florida, shipped back to Arizona, re-tested, and only then run against the national database. No hit. It belonged to a restaurant worker with no connection to any of it.The unknown DNA from inside her home came back a partial profile. Not enough to run.Nancy Guthrie is still missing, and nobody has been charged.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

While the investigation into Nolan Wells' death was still active, one of his friends appeared on Good Morning America with his voice altered and then sat down with Rolling Stone magazine to publicly tell his version of events. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down what that decision does to a case — whether it helps the truth or locks a public narrative into place before the evidence can speak for itself.Every friend from the boat has an attorney. The family has Ben Crump, their own investigators, and their own autopsy. The family's attorneys flagged a specific detail: the friends had Nolan's phone and keys and didn't voluntarily tell investigators. The family tracked the phone through Life360 and recovered it themselves. Faddis asks what a reasonable, innocent person does when they're holding a dead friend's belongings — and what the silence says from a former prosecutor's perspective.This segment covers the full landscape of moves being made by everyone connected to this case. The friends' legal strategy, the family's parallel investigation, the roughly two hundred bystanders on Horn Island who may still have footage, and what the Lauren Agee case tells us about where all of this could be heading if the investigation ends without charges and the family sues.

Before the toxicology came back, before the FBI examined his phone, before anyone reconciled the contradictions in the witness statements, the Jackson County Sheriff told the country no foul play was suspected in the death of Nolan Wells. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis explains what that kind of premature public declaration does to the trajectory of an investigation — not in theory, but in the concrete mechanics of how cases get built or buried.Nolan Wells was eighteen years old when he went to Horn Island on the Fourth of July. His friends came back. He didn't. His body was found in the water two days later. The coroner saw no obvious signs of trauma and sent the case to the state medical examiner. But a former prosecutor knows that homicide victims can drown too — held under, incapacitated, pushed from a vessel. Whether the autopsy was conducted with every scenario on the table is a question that the premature call makes harder to answer.Faddis addresses the direct contradiction between what the friends told investigators and what the young woman on the island reportedly said, the allegedly deleted messages from Nolan's phone, and why the DA's agreement to present this to a grand jury says something the sheriff's press conference didn't.

Ask the simple question and the whole thing falls apart. Whose job was it to find the Siders children?Sixteen kids were living in a house in Vinton County, Ohio. Not one school district had a record of them. Not one neighbor knew they were there. Not one caseworker had ever knocked on that door. And when officers finally walked in, they were not there for the children. They were serving a warrant on an entirely unrelated matter, and the Attorney General has said nobody had any expectation that sixteen kids were inside.The oldest is eighteen. Investigators said she could not write her own name. The state issued her a birth certificate the year she was born and put it in a drawer, where it has been sitting ever since.Tony Brueski connects that to a rowhouse in Southeast Washington, D.C., where four girls were found dead by U.S. Marshals serving an eviction notice, in a city whose entire child welfare system had been running under a federal judge for nineteen years at the time. His point is not that Ohio was asleep. His point is that even constant oversight did not find those four girls, so nobody should imagine oversight alone would have found the Siders kids. Then he follows the money, and finds a federal program that pays a state ten billion dollars a year the moment it removes a child, and pays nothing to anyone who goes looking for one.Four adults have pleaded not guilty to sixteen counts each of second-degree felony child endangering. No grand jury has returned an indictment.Nobody hid these children from a system that was searching for them. There was no search.End LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sixteen children were failed three times — by the minds that confined them, by the development that confinement stole from them, and by every mind outside that chose comfortable blindness over one phone call. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins for the complete three-part conversation tracing all of it.Inside the house: how a family system spanning two generations of adults organized itself around confinement, how a man ran two airtight realities for years, and how a woman married off at fifteen — pregnant since possibly thirteen, estranged from everyone for fifteen years — became either the fourth perpetrator or the seventeenth child failed, depending on where the jury's understanding of coercion lands. Inside the children: sealed-room brain development, the truth behind "almost feral," siblings who built their own communication because no one else ever spoke to them, and the honest odds on recovery.Outside the walls: the store clerks, the delivery customers, the neighbor three doors down — the ordinary, universal psychology of not-seeing that Scott argues is protecting hidden families in every county in America at this moment. The through-line of the full conversation is Tony's premise: nothing about this case is rare except the warrant that exposed it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The theory that Tyler Robinson is taking the fall for someone else has traveled further than almost any other claim about Charlie Kirk's death. Candace Owens has pushed it across dozens of episodes. And once you hear the pieces it's built on — an inconclusive bullet, a missing casing, a second round on another rooftop — you can understand why so many people believe it.This episode walks straight through it. Tony takes the patsy theory and the second-shooter theory and sets each one against the evidence that came out under oath at the preliminary hearing. The confession under Robinson's keyboard. The DNA on the towel wrapping the rifle. The casings in his apartment matched to the murder weapon by a tool found in his own home. The surveillance that put him on that campus four separate times.Then come the anomalies, and each one gets a clean answer. The empty rooftop with no shell casings, explained by the kind of rifle it was. The second bullet on the other building, explained by what it actually turned out to be. The bullet the ATF couldn't match, explained by what "inconclusive" really means. No spin, no reversal — just the record.There is exactly one thing in this whole case that genuinely hasn't been resolved, and Tony names it honestly rather than pretending it away. But it doesn't point where the theories want it to point. And the fact that ends the entire debate comes from the one person with every reason on earth to find a second shooter.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A man lived three doors from twenty people for six years and says he never saw a single child. He wasn't lying to reporters. That's what makes it worse. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains how a human mind can genuinely fail to register what's in front of it — when registering it would demand a phone call, a confrontation, an accusation against a neighbor in a town of seven hundred people.This conversation is about the psychology of everyone who orbited the Siders house. The store employees who catalogued years of warning signs and reported none of them. The delivery customers who met Gary Jr. daily and read nothing in him. The town that prides itself on everybody knowing everybody — which may be exactly why nobody said anything, because in a town that small, the person who makes the call is never anonymous.Scott then pushes into the claim at the heart of this episode: cases like this are not rare. Getting found is rare. The Siders family entered the statistics through a fluke warrant, which means the statistics are a floor, not a count. She closes with what noticing actually requires of a person — and why the gap between "I would have called" and actually calling is where children like these sixteen disappear.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There's a single piece of paper that could freeze every digital answer in the Nolan Wells case exactly where it sits. Federal law allows any law enforcement agency — including a county sheriff running a death investigation — to send a one-page preservation demand to Snapchat, Life360, Apple, Google, and the cell carriers. It requires no warrant, no judge, and no probable cause. It doesn't let anyone read a single message. It just stops the deletion clock. Whether Jackson County ever sent those letters, nobody outside the department knows.And that's the problem running through this entire investigation: from the outside, an investigation moving quietly and an investigation not moving at all look identical. Both look like silence. Sheriff Ledbetter won't confirm whether all the friends from the boat have been interviewed. Nolan's best friend — publicly available, publicly talking — says investigators have never called him. The boat at the center of the friends' explanation, the one that was supposedly taking on water, has never been publicly examined. It's been sitting at a private dock in the custody of the same family whose house Nolan's phone turned up at.Every answer in this case exists somewhere — on a server, in a hull, in a phone, in a memory. Snapchat recovery windows are closing. Location history is being purged on schedule. Honest memories are hardening into aligned stories. Elmore Wonsley didn't wait — he was searching the island on a borrowed boat at dawn. His son was due at football training the Monday they found him. The family has done everything except the one thing they can't: make Mississippi use the tools that exist.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

"Almost feral." That's how Ohio's Attorney General described sixteen children when deputies pulled them out of a house in Hamden. The word ran in every headline. Some heard an honest description of catastrophic neglect. Others heard sixteen children being branded as animals in the national press on the worst day of their lives. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott takes the word apart — what Wilson was actually seeing, what the clinical picture behind it looks like, and whether the label follows these kids into every classroom and foster home they enter from here.The conversation moves through the developmental reality: brains that assembled themselves inside a sealed room, language that never formed because the only input was each other, an eighteen-year-old who can't write her name. Scott explains why these children aren't blank slates waiting to be filled in — they're fully formed people whose entire architecture was built for a world that no longer exists.And she confronts the question underneath all of it: whether learning that your whole life was a violation is a heavier injury than the violation itself — and what the Turpin outcomes warn about the road these sixteen kids are now walking.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Every morning, Gary Siders Jr. left a house where sixteen children were confined to a single room and went to work delivering food to strangers. He had a phone. A car. Customer ratings. Small talk at restaurant counters. Then every night he drove back to Ohmer Street and walked into the other reality. He held both, simultaneously, for years — and never cracked in public.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the compartmentalization that makes that possible, and what it says about the minds inside that house. Because nothing about the Siders operation was falling apart. Taxes paid. Utilities running. Regular shopping trips. This was a managed household — organized around confinement instead of care — and three generations participated in the management.The conversation turns to Elizabeth Siders, married at fifteen while pregnant, cut off from her family for fifteen years, possibly pregnant twenty times starting at age thirteen. Scott works through whether a person shaped by that kind of control from childhood can meaningfully be called a decision-maker — and what the DNA testing investigators are now running on the older children could reveal about how far inward this family collapsed.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three friends left Nolan Wells on an uninhabited barrier island and came home with his phone. Their version of what happened doesn't match the only other witness. And every detail that's surfaced since points the same direction — people protecting themselves, not a teenager who chose to stay behind.The phone was at the house of the family that owned the boat. Both Snapchat accounts were wiped. The Life360 data didn't match the Snapchat locations his friends were showing that night. A video went viral that millions assumed showed Nolan in an altercation — but his best friend says he's not sure it's Nolan, and another friend went on record claiming it's his own voice, not Nolan's. Crump disagrees. The video is disputed. The phone is not.The Coast Guard got a missing person report at 11 PM on July 4th and said it "did not require assistance." The formal search didn't start until after noon the next day. The sheriff said "no foul play" before any autopsy. Nolan's father and his football coach were out searching the island on a borrowed boat hours before anyone with a helicopter decided to look.Hundreds marched through Ocean Springs demanding answers. Both autopsy results are still pending. And the phone that could tell everyone what happened that day is sitting with the family's lawyers because they don't trust the investigation to handle it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Every stage of the Siders case runs on something unspoken. The town runs on a story that can't survive its own details. The agencies run on the hope that nobody audits eighteen years of missed obligations. And the aftermath runs on the oldest free pass in American life — the one that lets every person who noticed something say nothing and owe nothing. Tony and Robin trace the whole chain in this complete conversation.It opens in Hamden with the claims that don't add up: a store employee's years of catalogued observations that never became a phone call, a neighbor's six-year insistence that twenty people cast no shadow, a family the AG calls deliberately hidden that was somehow also employed, shopping, and paying taxes in plain sight. It moves through the institutional wreckage — the unfiled hospital reports, the West Virginia marriage license, the homeschool rollback and its already-retreating sponsor, the county files that reset with every move — and handicaps the race to bury the records. It closes on the reform math Ohio keeps refusing to do: a million dollars for aftermath versus a few hundred for the visit that never happened.The final exchange is the bet — charges, lawsuits, or legislation — and the hosts' split verdict says everything about how hard the next sixteen kids will be to find.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The death-penalty prosecutor in the Charlie Kirk case got himself held in contempt of court — and the trial hasn't even started. Tyler Robinson faces aggravated murder charges for the September 2025 shooting that killed Kirk at Utah Valley University. By every measure, the prosecution's case should be overwhelming. Alleged confessions in a handwritten note, text messages, and a Discord post. DNA evidence linking Robinson to the rifle. Surveillance footage placing him on the rooftop. A voluntary surrender facilitated by his own parents.But the prosecution couldn't leave the evidence alone. After the defense highlighted an inconclusive ballistics report — the bullet fragmented and couldn't be matched to the rifle — the county attorney's spokesperson went on a media tour. TMZ. USA Today. Fox News. He corrected misinformation about the ballistics, which was permitted. Then he told TMZ prosecutors had "ample evidence" to overcome the presumption of innocence. That was not permitted. The judge held him in civil contempt and ordered the prosecution to pay the defense's legal costs.The prosecutor's misstep is just one failure in a case defined by them. Kirk's security team warned the university about rooftop exposure two weeks before the event. Six campus officers covered a crowd of more than 3,000. The first person arrested was a false confessor whose phone contained illegal material unrelated to the case. The FBI director announced the wrong suspect. And Robinson was ultimately identified not by the investigation but by his mother and father, who recognized their son in publicly released surveillance photos.Tony traces the path from a preventable tragedy to a prosecution that keeps handing ammunition to the defense.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Every child protection reform in American history has a body count behind it. The laws get named after the kids they failed to save — passed in grief, funded briefly, and forgotten by the next budget cycle. The Siders case is about to generate its own round of them, and Tony and Robin open this conversation with the uncomfortable pattern: prevention never wins the funding fight until after it's already lost.The Vinton County numbers make the case better than any argument. A county too poor to jail a felony defendant. A state writing a million-dollar emergency check for aftermath it could have prevented for a fraction of the cost. A child welfare structure that resets at every county line because continuity costs money nobody wanted to spend. The hosts trace why that math — obvious, repeated, documented in case after case — never changes a legislature's behavior until the cameras arrive.Then the harder territory: what ordinary people owe. The Good Samaritan gap between protected-if-you-act and free-if-you-don't. The Dollar General thought experiment, played honestly. And the closing bets on which mechanism — prosecution, litigation, or legislation — actually stands between the next hidden family and another eighteen years of nobody looking.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Every one of the sixteen Siders children was born at an area hospital. Every one. And over eighteen years of deliveries — including conjoined twins at a Columbus hospital who were born and died the same day — not a single medical professional flagged what was happening inside that family. No school enrolled those children. No social worker knocked on the door. The only reason anyone found them was a misdemeanor warrant served on Gary Siders Jr. for something that had nothing to do with kids.What deputies walked into at 182 Ohmer Street in Hamden, Ohio, was a five-room house with twenty people inside it. Children in a single room covered in waste and insects. An eighteen-year-old who couldn't write her own name. The Attorney General called it "pure evil" and said if they'd waited one more day, children would have died. Four adults now face sixty-eight combined felony counts, with a grand jury expected to add more. The AG's own language — describing the case as "intrafamilial" — signals the investigation may be heading somewhere far darker.This episode follows the trail of every institution that missed these children. Ohio's gutted homeschool laws. A county-by-county welfare system the family moved through without detection. Hospitals that delivered sixteen children over eighteen years without ever asking why there were no medical records. And the story of Elizabeth Siders, who was married at fifteen in West Virginia with a judge's signature while seven months pregnant — raising the question of whether the first person failed by these systems was one of the four people now charged.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ohio runs child welfare through its counties. Move one county over, and as far as the local system is concerned, your family has no history. No flags follow you. No caseworker calls ahead. The Siders family moved through multiple Ohio counties since 2008 — and every single move wiped the slate. Whether they understood they were exploiting that design or just kept lucking into it, the result was identical: eighteen years, zero continuity, sixteen invisible children.Tony and Robin dig into whether that county-reset structure is a flaw nobody got around to fixing — or a system performing exactly as cheaply as it was built to perform. Because closing that gap costs money, and Ohio's spending priorities are now on brutal display: the state that wouldn't fund cross-county case tracking is currently spending one million dollars in emergency funds cleaning up what the missing tracking allowed.From there the conversation runs the full accountability board — the hospitals and their eighteen years of unfiled reports, the instantly-regretful homeschool senator, the West Virginia marriage license — and lands on the question that frames the whole episode: which of these institutions buries its records first, and how will the public know when it happens?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Do the math on the neighbor's claim. Twenty people. Thirteen hundred square feet. Six years. Zero children sighted — ever — from three doors away. No sounds, no laundry, no faces in windows, no kids in a yard, nothing. Either that house operated with a discipline that should terrify everyone, or the man's memory is doing him a favor. Tony and Robin stress-test the story, and it doesn't hold.The conversation widens to everything else that doesn't add up in Hamden's account of itself. A store clerk with years of detailed observations who never dialed a number. A family the AG says was hiding from all record-keeping — while paying property taxes, maintaining water service, and running air conditioners visible from the street. Somebody inside that house was competent. The bills prove it. Which means the squalor those children lived in wasn't neglect by incapacity. It was allocation. The adults chose where the resources went, and it wasn't to the sixteen kids in one room.The episode closes on the sharpest version of the question: when an entire town's story requires this many coincidences, at what point does "nobody knew" stop being an explanation and start being a confession?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Idaho murders didn't just take four lives — they handed the internet a list of people to destroy, starting with the man who lost the woman he planned to marry. This episode is about them, and about the questions the conspiracy theories use as cover. We open on the wrongly-blamed ex and the painful, innocent truth behind those final phone calls. Then we take the doubts head-on: the eight-hour wait before 911, the fact that the survivors were scrolling their phones that morning, the cruelty of mining a young woman's diary for proof, the idea that the roommates lived because they were in on it, and the alternate suspects the defense begged a judge to allow — and got shut down on. The people closest to this case, including the family that fought the plea hardest, never doubted they had the right man, and we get into why. Then the hardest parts. Why the missing motive isn't the hole people think it is. And why a guilty plea made under oath, on top of overwhelming evidence, isn't the railroading the believers insist it was — even though innocent people really do sometimes plead guilty. This is the human cost of the rabbit hole, and the clearest answer yet to the but-what-about that keeps this case spinning. So why won't the questions die — and should they?END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This episode moves through three cases in one sitting: Nancy Guthrie, Nick Reiner, and Rex Heuermann, and by the end, a single pattern connects them all. Nancy Guthrie remains missing six months after vanishing from her Arizona home, and the note her family received continues to be the piece investigators can't fully explain away. Nick Reiner is accused of murdering his parents, Rob and Michele, hours after a fight at a holiday party that other guests noticed and walked away from anyway. Rex Heuermann, already serving three life sentences plus a hundred years, is back in the conversation because of an unlicensed therapist who worked closely with his family and wasn't who she claimed to be. Tony Brueski and the Hidden Killers team break down each case individually before drawing the thread between them: a warning that got missed, a behavior that got normalized, a professional who slipped through without anyone checking. The show also gives listeners an update on where each investigation stands, from the search for Nancy Guthrie, to Nick Reiner's not guilty plea and looming preliminary hearing, to the families still waiting on Rex Heuermann for answers about victims he hasn't been charged with. There's also a conversation about the concept of the "loving critic," someone close enough to say something before a situation goes too far, and why that person is so often missing at the exact moment they're needed most, whether it's a family, a friend group, or a professional relationship built on trust that wasn't earned. Three cases, three very different circumstances, and one uncomfortable question that ties them together. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

It's the line that won't die in the Idaho murders case: one person couldn't have killed four people on three floors in a few minutes. In this episode we follow that night from the inside and show why one person not only could — but did. We start with the timeline the doubters call impossible and explain why the math is a magic trick. We knock down the image of a killer calmly scrubbing the scene, a detail that came from a television special the case's own investigators publicly called false. And we explain why a violent struggle with one awake victim is exactly how the killer ended up leaving the sheath behind. Then the part that closes the cage — the phone. Two-dozen-plus visits to that neighborhood after dark before the murders. A signal that goes dark for the exact window of the killings, right after he'd been listening to a police scanner. A car caught on camera. And then, after that night, a complete and total silence in that part of town. One phone. One car. One man, by name. We lay out the digital fingerprint that makes a second attacker impossible — and the chilling thing he did the next morning. So where, exactly, does the second killer go? Listen, and try to place him.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rex Heuermann is already serving three life sentences plus a hundred years for eight murders, but the detail drawing the most attention has nothing to do with him directly. It's about the therapist who worked closely with his family. Tony Brueski and the Hidden Killers team break down how that therapist reportedly wasn't licensed, why she appeared on a Peacock special discussing case details tied to her clients, and why she reportedly guided Heuermann's wife toward living in the remodeled bedroom connected to the murders. The show walks through what it would take for that failure to actually help Heuermann's legal team on appeal, and why the attorneys consulted on the case say it doesn't hold up. There's also a conversation about why unlicensed professionals slip through the cracks in high-profile cases like this one, who's actually responsible for catching it, and what it says about the pull of notoriety when someone gets access to a story this big. The team draws comparisons to other cases where people close to a trial made questionable choices for attention or profit, and talks through the concept of the "loving critic," someone close enough to say, "you shouldn't be doing this," before it becomes a problem. The episode also revisits what's still unresolved in the larger case: one victim still known only as Jane Doe, families who believe there are more victims Heuermann hasn't been charged with, and his agreement to sit down with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. The team talks through why a case like this rarely delivers full closure, even after a guilty plea and a sentencing hearing. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Idaho murders case ended with a guilty plea, and it still won't sit quietly — because a loud corner of the internet is certain Bryan Kohberger was framed. In this one, we go straight at the forensic theories and pull them apart. The center of it all is a knife sheath left in a young woman's bed and the male DNA found on its snap. Theorists need that DNA to be a tiny, plantable speck. The lab says the opposite — there was so much of it that the amount itself is the problem for the defense, not the prosecution. We unpack what touch DNA actually is and why a single-source profile on that snap is so hard to explain away. Then the harder cards: an unidentified man's blood on a stairway, a DNA mixture under a victim's fingernails with no match to Kohberger, the untested debris, and the accusation that the FBI built a false trail and misled a judge. We take each one seriously, then show why none of it outweighs a man's own skin on the weapon — the weapon his own account ordered online. This isn't a recap. It's a point-by-point answer to the questions that keep this case alive, told in plain language for the people who actually want them answered. Was he set up, or is the truth just simpler than anyone wants it to be?END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nine months after Rob and Michele Reiner were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home, the Hidden Killers team is still coming back to one detail: what actually happened at the party hours before it happened. Nick Reiner, their son, was arrested the same night. Reports describe a fight between Nick and his father at a holiday gathering, guests who noticed his disheveled appearance and erratic behavior, and a room full of people who ultimately went home without saying anything. Tony Brueski and the team break down why that kind of normalization happens even among people who genuinely love someone, and how a pattern of behavior reportedly stretching back to Nick's childhood got absorbed into family life instead of confronted directly. The show also digs into the legal road ahead. Nick has pleaded not guilty, and an insanity defense is already being discussed publicly, despite a legal standard in California that succeeds in under one percent of cases. The team walks through what that defense would actually require, why prosecutors tend to fight it hard in high-profile cases, and why being "functional" in daily life can work against a defendant trying to prove they didn't understand right from wrong. There's also a conversation about the concept of the "loving critic" — someone close enough to care, but distant enough to be honest — and why families in crisis often lack exactly that voice when they need it most. Nine months of continuances and a change in defense counsel have pushed this case's preliminary hearing to September, with both sides still working through an enormous volume of evidence. This is a hard look at how a warning sign turns invisible, right up until it can't be ignored anymore. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Six months after Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her own home, the case still hinges on one piece of paper: a note her family received that investigators have not been able to rule out. She was eighty-four, last seen the night blood turned up on her porch and a masked figure showed up on her own doorbell camera. Since then, her family has been sent several notes claiming responsibility. Most turned out to be hoaxes. The one that didn't is reportedly the one that changes how this case reads. On this episode, Tony Brueski and the Hidden Killers team walk through exactly what that note reportedly contains, why the FBI is still officially treating this as a kidnapping-for-ransom case despite blood evidence at the scene, and what federal investigators gain — and give up — by classifying it that way. The show also breaks down the working theory: a break-in that was never supposed to end the way it did, and what that would mean for where Nancy Guthrie is now. There's also a hard look at how federal and local law enforcement actually operate together on the ground, the relationships that make or break a case like this one, and why cases this complicated almost never move at the pace people expect. Nancy Guthrie's disappearance has drawn national attention because of her daughter's public profile, and the show doesn't shy away from asking what that attention has cost the thousands of families whose missing loved ones never make headlines at all. Six months of silence, one note that won't go away, and a family still waiting for a straight answer. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

D4vd case — the reckoning. David Burke’s breakout song, his debut album, and a music video he released in 2025 all carry names, titles, and imagery that take on a very different meaning after the charges filed by the Los Angeles DA. This episode examines those parallels and the legal question of whether any of it is admissible under California law.Beyond the art: the investigation moved slowly. Seven months between the discovery of Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s remains and Burke’s arrest. Three grand jury panels. His close friend arrested in Montana for fleeing a subpoena. His family challenging the grand jury in Texas courts. The LAPD blocking the coroner’s report for months.Burke faces first-degree murder charges with special circumstances: lying in wait, financial gain, and murder of a witness. Prosecutors also found illegal material involving minors on his iCloud. Forty terabytes of evidence total. The preliminary hearing is set for July 2026.LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This episode covers two cases we've been tracking closely — Nolan Wells and Nancy Guthrie — and both just took a turn. Nolan Wells, the eighteen-year-old left behind on Horn Island over the Fourth of July, has a new complication: one of the friends who left him is the son of a sitting Jackson County judge, and since that connection came out, the judge and the friend group have both gone quiet. We break down the voluntary phone surrender investigators asked for instead of a subpoena, and what that choice could mean for the case going forward. From there we move to Nancy Guthrie, still missing six months later, where a separate criminal case just wrapped up. A California man admitted to sending the Guthrie family fake bitcoin ransom demands while the search for her was active, and walked away with five years of probation — a sentence retired FBI special agent Jennifer Coffindaffer called a travesty. We also lay out the TMZ Twelve extortion notes investigators believe are mostly fake, and the two communications — a real ransom note and a strange apology letter — being treated as legitimate. Both cases raise the same uncomfortable question: how evenly is this actually being investigated. We go through the boat, the judge, the phones, the sentence, and the notes in this one. Full episode is up now — link below. Social Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

D4vd case — the prosecution’s alleged cover-up timeline. Prosecutors say David Burke ordered chainsaws, a body bag, and more from Amazon under a fake name and had everything delivered to his Hollywood Hills home. The alias was “Victoria Mendez.” The address was his. And Amazon keeps records of everything.That’s one detail in a months-long chain prosecutors say began the night of April 23, 2025 — the night Celeste Rivas Hernandez allegedly died inside Burke’s home. According to the prosecution, Burke hosted an album release party the following day, ordered a shovel through Postmates that same morning, posted geotagged Instagram content on a date investigators allege remains were dismembered, and eventually left his Tesla parked on a Hollywood street while he went on a world tour.The body was found over four months later.

Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is still unsolved after six months, but a separate case tied to it just wrapped up in court. A California man admitted to sending the Guthrie family fake bitcoin ransom demands during the active search for her — and the punishment he received has former investigators furious. His charge was pled down to harassment, which caps out at two years federally. The sentence: five years of probation, with both counts running together instead of stacked on top of each other. Retired FBI special agent Jennifer Coffindaffer called the outcome a travesty, warning it sets a precedent that could encourage the flood of copycat notes still coming in — a batch investigators are calling the TMZ Twelve, which the FBI has reportedly signaled are likely fake. Two other notes are being handled very differently by investigators. One is considered the real ransom demand — four million dollars, an escalating threat, and a final threat against Nancy's life. The other is an apology letter, sent only to local television stations, expressing remorse and calling her death accidental. Both of those, according to reporting, trace back to the same IP address, giving agents one of their only real leads. Then there's Porch Guy — a person connected to the case who hasn't been identified publicly or taken into custody, even though tools like highway checkpoints have worked in comparable investigations before. We go through the sentence, the notes, and why six months in, this case still doesn't have the answers everyone expected by now. Full episode is up now — link below. Social Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

D4vd case — the system failures behind Celeste Rivas Hernandez. When Riverside County deputies found David Burke’s number in the phone records of a missing thirteen-year-old, they called him. When LA County deputies knocked on his door for a welfare check, he showed them her yearbook photo and told them a story. They told him her age. What he allegedly did in response — and what law enforcement failed to do in the months that followed — left a child unprotected for over a year.Three missing person reports. A phone allegedly purchased and hand-delivered through a classmate. Trips across the country and overseas. Matching tattoos. His name on a child’s ring finger. Prosecutors say the relationship between Burke and Celeste continued through 2024 with no meaningful intervention from any institution that had a reason to act.This is the first of a three-part investigation into every person and every system that had a chance to protect Celeste Rivas Hernandez and didn’t.LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There's a new wrinkle in the Nolan Wells case out of Jackson County, Mississippi, and it's not about the water — it's about who's connected to who. One of the friends who left Nolan behind on Horn Island over the Fourth of July is the son of a sitting county judge. Since that fact came out, the judge has gone silent online, and the rest of the friend group followed. A sitting congressman and a nationally known civil rights attorney representing Nolan's parents are now demanding transparency from local law enforcement. Meanwhile, investigators asked the friends to voluntarily hand over their cell phones rather than serve them with subpoenas — a distinction retired FBI special agent Jennifer Coffindaffer says matters more than people realize. Voluntary surrender buys time. Time to clean a phone up before anyone official looks at it. And if investigators later find messages missing or gaps where there shouldn't be any, that's often enough to build the probable cause for a deeper search. Nobody on this show is claiming anything criminal happened to Nolan himself. The accident theory still holds. But when a case runs through a small department, and one of the families involved happens to have a judge on the bench in that same county, the questions about how it's handled become their own investigation. We go through the judge connection, the voluntary phone surrender, and what the silence from everyone involved could actually mean going forward. Full episode is up now — link below. Social Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nolan Wells' story starts the way too many of these do — a group of friends, an island, a holiday weekend, and one kid who never made it back to the boat. He was eighteen. He was talking to a girl on the north end of Horn Island, off the Mississippi coast, around three in the afternoon. That's the last time anyone saw him alive. His friends left an hour and a half later. He wasn't with them. The reason on record is that the boat was taking on water — not exactly a detail that holds up when you think through what leaving someone behind on an island actually requires people to decide, in real time, to do. By Monday morning, after two days of searching by the Coast Guard, the National Park Service, and Jackson County, a park ranger found him in the water — almost exactly where he'd last been seen. Investigators have reportedly ruled out alcohol and drugs. His friend group has stayed near his mother through all of it. And before he ever stepped foot on that boat, Nolan left his phone with her — a small fact that tells you more about who he was than any headline will. Now his family has a civil rights attorney involved, and the questions aren't going away — about the boat, about the timeline, about why one teenager was the one left standing on that shoreline. We go through what's confirmed, what's still unexplained, and where the account from that friend group starts to strain under basic scrutiny. Full episode is up now — link below. Social Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

It does not start with a crisis. It starts with a compromise so small you don't think to question it. Then another. Then a hundred more. And one day you realize you have no idea who you are anymore. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott ties two of the most confounding cases in true crime together through a single thread — the erosion of agency — and turns the conversation toward anyone who's been making small compromises they barely notice.Asa Ellerup was married to Rex Heuermann for twenty-seven years. She defended him for three years after his arrest. Then he pleaded guilty to eight murders — seven committed inside their shared home. Eric Richins saw everything his wife Kouri was allegedly doing — told his family, changed his will, consulted a lawyer — and still couldn't walk out the door. Kouri has since been convicted of his murder. Scott examines the psychological machinery that keeps people tethered: the incremental loss of boundaries, the normalization of what would once have been unthinkable, and the moment when leaving feels more dangerous than staying.This is the conversation that bridges both cases — not to equate the dynamics, but to illuminate the pattern that runs through them. Scott recently explored this research on her Substack and brings that clinical depth to these two real-world frameworks. Heuermann is expected to be sentenced to three consecutive life terms plus an additional hundred years. We revisit where both cases stood at the time of our reporting.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Deputies conducted a welfare check and told David Anthony Burke directly that Celeste Rivas Hernandez was thirteen years old. According to the prosecution's filing, he continued anyway. This look back examines what the People's Brief puts on the record about the timeline prosecutors intend to prove — and what that welfare check should have triggered but didn't.The filing describes a pattern that allegedly began when Celeste was eleven and escalated over years. By fourteen, according to prosecutors, she was traveling with Burke and spending time at his Hollywood Hills home while his circle reportedly believed she was an adult. When her parents intervened and took her phone, prosecutors say Burke drove to her hometown and paid a classmate to deliver a replacement. She was reported missing twice before the events prosecutors allege ended her life.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down how patterns like this allegedly unfold — the escalation, the isolation, the progressive normalization that keeps the people around a situation from seeing what's happening. She examines what law enforcement's welfare check was supposed to accomplish and why it failed to protect Celeste. She connects the alleged timeline directly to the prosecution's murder motive: that Burke allegedly killed Celeste because she was threatening to expose a relationship that could end his career. Burke has pleaded not guilty. The defense called the filing "entirely one-sided" and attempted to have it sealed.

Nancy Guthrie's case doesn't have one ransom note. It has a pile of them, and they don't agree with each other. One reportedly came from the man who took the 84-year-old grandmother from her Tucson home, describing her as at rest somewhere in nature. A completely separate message went to TMZ from someone claiming time was no longer urgent. Some outlets report the writer apologized. Others say he never did. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer pulls the contradictions apart piece by piece, starting with how the bureau tries to authenticate an anonymous note when there's no body and no confirmation, and why investigators reportedly tried and failed to independently verify Nancy was dead. She walks through the strange logic of the TMZ tipster who dropped his own sense of urgency partway through, and whether that detail makes him more credible or less. Then there's the contradiction sitting at the center of it all: a first note demanding millions of dollars, and a second one offering her body back for roughly the same amount. Is that one person whose plan collapsed, or two separate people working the same case for different reasons? Why can't credible outlets even agree on whether an apology was included? And if a stranger and an alleged kidnapper land on the same unsettling conclusion independently, does that make the story more likely true, or just mean it got away from everyone involved? All claims discussed are reported and unconfirmed, and no one has been charged in connection with Nancy's disappearance. This is a Hidden Killers conversation about what these messages actually say, and what they don't, five months into a case that still has no arrest and no confirmed answers. SOCIAL LINKS & LEGAL FOOTER Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A life sentence without parole keeps Kouri Richins in prison — but it doesn't automatically keep her silent. This look back, with former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis, examines what a convicted killer can still reach beyond the walls, and the legal machinery designed to stop her.The concern isn't abstract. Before sentencing, Kouri wrote a message that landed in the prosecution's filing, vowing to expose nearly everyone connected to her case and warning they hadn't "seen anything yet." Prosecutors say she previously wrote a jail letter aimed at influencing a relative's testimony. Her own oldest son told the court he's afraid she'll come for him if she's ever released. Against that backdrop, Faddis walks through the real avenues that remain open to an inmate — mail, monitored calls, proxies, and the supporters who believe in her innocence and might act on her behalf.He then breaks down the tools that exist to contain her: no-contact orders, protective orders, and corrections-level restrictions, explaining what each accomplishes and where each falls short. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting, noting that her defense has challenged the prosecution's sentencing memo as misleading and that an appeal is planned. This is a grounded, practical look at a hard truth — incarceration ends her freedom, not necessarily her reach.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Have you ever sat with a serial killer before? Rex Heuermann asked that question to a therapist inside Suffolk County Correctional — and the way he asked it told her everything. It wasn't vulnerability. It was a man performing his own legend. What came after was far more revealing. This look back examines what the documentary sessions produced — details no courtroom would have.Heuermann described a four-day cycle he refined over years: preparation, the killing and what he called the aftermath, cleanup, and a buffer day. He said he timed his disposals with a stopwatch — from over two minutes on his first to under forty seconds on his last. He was competing with himself. Perfecting a system. And when he looks at crime scene photos in his cell, he says he can't connect the person in them to himself. The two worlds don't merge. FBI profiler John Douglas sat with the family therapist and gave his assessment — comparing Heuermann to BTK and noting that Heuermann had something Dennis Rader envied: the space, the room, the uninterrupted ability to carry out his compulsions.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down what the documentary revealed about the psychological architecture — the violent ideation that reportedly began in adolescence, the escalation into action, the compartmentalization that allowed him to function as a husband and father while killing. She examines whether his confession-session behavior represents genuine disclosure or another form of the control that defined the crimes themselves. Heuermann pleaded guilty to seven murders and admitted to an eighth.

Barry Morphew spent months living under names that weren't his own while awaiting trial for his wife Suzanne's murder. After the original case against him collapsed and the lead prosecutor was disbarred, Barry left Colorado and settled into a trailer park in Cave Creek, Arizona, more than six hundred miles from where Suzanne's remains were found in a shallow grave near Moffat. A bar manager in Cave Creek knew him as Bruce. A gas station clerk knew him as Lee. Neither one learned who he actually was until the day law enforcement showed up to arrest him. One night at the bar, a woman recognized his face, said his real name out loud, and Barry looked her in the eye and denied it. He wasn't living alone. The woman he was with had no idea about his real identity either, and according to court filings, he only told her the truth five days before his arrest, along with a version of what happened to Suzanne that doesn't match what prosecutors have laid out in the indictment. Barry was eventually re-indicted by a grand jury, extradited back to Colorado, and released on three million dollars bond, at which point he pleaded not guilty for the second time. Two weeks after that, he allegedly moved to have Suzanne's remains cremated, a request prosecutors caught and blocked with barely a day to spare. This episode traces the aliases, the arrest, and the girlfriend who says she believed a completely different man for years. Jury selection begins October 13 in Alamosa. Barry has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, and the law presumes him innocent, but the string of names he used along the way is part of what jurors will eventually hear. Hear what the people closest to Barry Morphew never actually knew about him. SOCIAL LINKS & LEGAL FOOTER Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

He allegedly released an album two days after prosecutors say Celeste Rivas Hernandez was killed. He toured for months. He performed in Minneapolis the night after her remains were found in his Tesla across the country in Los Angeles. This look back, with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, reads that alleged behavior for what it reveals.Coffindaffer examines the profile of someone who allegedly carries something this extreme while functioning publicly at the highest level — the compartmentalization, the performance, the ability to project normalcy while investigators were quietly building a case behind the scenes. She also addresses the gap between what Burke's circle reportedly believed and the documented reality: they allegedly thought the girl in his orbit was a nineteen-year-old college student. She was a fourteen-year-old from Lake Elsinore who had been reported missing three times and hadn't attended school for a full year.The segment also raises hard questions about evidence handling. LAPD reportedly held the Tesla containing Celeste's remains for only forty-eight hours before releasing it. Coffindaffer assesses what that means for the physical evidence and for the defense's ability to challenge the forensic case at trial. Burke's team initially described him as cooperative; LAPD later said he was not and reportedly had help in the handling of the remains. Burke faces first-degree murder with special circumstances, additional charges related to the victim's age, and a count related to the condition of her remains. He has pleaded not guilty.

Alex Murdaugh's legal team is betting the retrial on a piece of evidence SLED collected and then let sit for years: unknown male DNA found under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails the night she and her son Paul were killed at the family's hunting property. That sample was never run against a genealogy database, and now the defense wants it sent to Othram, the same forensic lab whose genetic work helped identify Bryan Kohberger as a suspect in Idaho. Attorney Jim Griffin argued in court that the technology needed to trace that DNA simply didn't exist when investigators first bagged it, and it does exist now. It's one of several motions filed ahead of an April 5, 2027 retrial date, alongside a request tied to first-responder statements that, according to defense attorney Dick Harpootlian, contradict each other about who was actually on the property that night. Harpootlian told the court the defense has fielded tips from people claiming to have information and passed them along to SLED, with no confirmation any were pursued. The new judge assigned to the case, Debra McCaslin, has already signaled she won't tolerate delay tactics, and Attorney General Alan Wilson has kept capital punishment on the table for a defendant already serving multiple life sentences. This episode lays out the DNA motion in full, why the defense is citing the David Camm wrongful-conviction case as a warning sign, and the strongest counterargument prosecutors are expected to raise: that a trace of someone else's DNA under a fingernail doesn't automatically mean a second person was involved. Two people died at those kennels, and one of them was holding onto evidence the state never finished testing. The next hearing lands August 14, and both sides already sound like they're preparing for a fight that goes well past the DNA. Hear the case for reopening it. SOCIAL LINKS & LEGAL FOOTER Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Reiner siblings are bracing for years of courtrooms — hearings, testimony, their brother's face across the room while lawyers argue over his mental state. This look back examines the position they've been forced into and the harder truth waiting at the end of it.Jake, Romy, and Tracy occupy three roles at the same time: primary mourners with no parents left above them, next of kin with legal standing under victims'-rights law, and family of the accused. All three, permanently. Sources say they've severed contact with Nick. Sources say they oppose the harshest penalty — but as experts note, a family's wishes are meaningful without being controlling, so they may state their position and still watch prosecutors choose otherwise. We revisit where things stood at the time of our reporting.Then the segment turns to the part almost no one prepares you for. So many families of victims spend years waiting for a guilty verdict, certain it will shift something inside them — and when it finally comes, they feel nothing, because the verdict only addresses what was done, not what it cost. If Nick is convicted, the Reiners' parents are still gone. If he's found not responsible by reason of mental illness, they're still gone. This is an unflinching look at the difference between justice and peace, why understanding someone's pathology doesn't obligate you to forgive it, and why closure, in the end, is something you build rather than something you're handed.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Cindy Anthony called 911 and said the car smelled like a dead body. Then she spent three years walking it back. On the witness stand, she told the jury the words were just an expression. She described removing Caylee’s doll from the car and spraying it with Febreze. A mother who knew what she smelled tried to un-know it under oath.George and Cindy held together through the investigation and the trial. Casey’s defense accused George of covering up Caylee’s death and worse. He denied all of it. After the acquittal, Casey cut contact. Years later, she accused her father publicly. George says he’d still welcome her back.This is the only episode in the series where the family’s loyalty broke. Not because the evidence cracked it. Because the person they were protecting turned around and used them as the shield.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rex Heuermann confessed to eight murders in front of his own family, in sessions run by a counselor who had no legal right to be there. Allison Winter now faces eighteen felonies for allegedly posing as a licensed clinical social worker and billing insurance for more than sixty thousand dollars while treating Heuermann for nearly three years. Legal analyst Eric Faddis joins us to explain why that detail might matter more than anyone expected.Faddis walks through a theory his team believes could carry real weight: Heuermann pled guilty, in part, to keep his wife and daughter off the witness stand. If the confession that drove that decision came from a deceptive setup, does the entire foundation of the plea come into question? We also break down the privilege fight, whether confidentiality still applies when the person hearing your confession wasn't actually who she claimed to be.From there we pivot to the D4VD case, where a status conference and a new Hulu documentary landed almost simultaneously in the death of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Faddis breaks down why an LAPD detective and the district attorney appearing on camera could open both of them up to tough cross-examination, and why the defense may push hard on whether a fair trial is possible after this level of exposure.

Buster Murdaugh named his baby after Alex Murdaugh. That single fact contains everything you need to know about this episode. Alex was convicted of murdering Buster’s mother and brother. He pled guilty to decades of financial crimes. He staged a botched suicide attempt. And Buster — the surviving son — gave his child his father’s name.But when the SC Supreme Court overturned the conviction and ordered a retrial, two versions of Buster emerged. His father’s attorney said they have a great relationship. A source close to Buster said he was furious. Both accounts came within days of each other.This episode traces a son caught between public loyalty and private exhaustion — and a retrial that will force him to sit through the worst experience of his life a second time.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The D4VD case just cleared another status conference, and a new Hulu documentary dropped right alongside it, putting new pressure on a story that had largely stayed under wraps until charges were filed. Legal analyst Eric Faddis joins us to explain what these pretrial hearings typically cover and why this one is shaping up to be a fight over publicity as much as evidence.Faddis breaks down why the defense may push hard on whether D4VD can even get a fair trial in California, given how far the coverage of this case has spread online. We also look closely at the documentary itself, which includes an LAPD detective and the district attorney speaking on camera about the evidence, and why Faddis believes that could open both of them up to tough cross-examination later. Then there's the purchase history prosecutors have flagged: chainsaws, a burn box, bags. Faddis explains why that detail alone points toward more than one person being involved, and what that could mean for who else might eventually face charges.We also dig into the evidence investigators say they found on D4VD's phone, and why Faddis calls it some of the most damaging material in the entire case if it holds up in court. With the preliminary hearing coming up on the twenty-first, we look at what the defense's quiet approach so far might be signaling.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Joan VanderMolen loved her sister Kitty. She also stood at a Los Angeles courthouse in 2024 and said Kitty’s sons — the men who killed Kitty — should be released from prison. More than twenty family members stood behind her.The Menendez brothers have never denied killing their parents. The family’s argument is that the full story includes what José Menendez did to his sons, and that the 1996 conviction happened in a world that was not ready to hear it. A 1988 letter Erik wrote to his cousin describing his father’s conduct surfaced years later. In May 2025, a judge resentenced both brothers, making them eligible for parole for the first time in thirty-five years.This episode follows a family that went from three decades of silence to organized public advocacy powerful enough to move the legal system. Whether the parole board follows is an open question. But the family that rewrote this case is not done writing.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rex Heuermann's guilty plea may hinge on a conversation that never should have happened the way it did. His ex-wife and daughter were in the room when he confessed to eight murders, in sessions facilitated by Allison Winter — the counselor now charged with practicing without a license. Legal analyst Eric Faddis lays out a theory that could shape what happens next: if Heuermann pled guilty in part to spare his family from testifying about that confession, and the confession itself was obtained by someone posing as a licensed clinician, does that change everything about why he entered the plea in the first place.Faddis walks through the argument step by step. Heuermann's team could claim he wouldn't have pled guilty if he'd known the person hearing his confession wasn't legally who she claimed to be. It's a creative legal theory, and Faddis is upfront that success on appeal is far from guaranteed. From there, the conversation shifts to privilege. Does confidentiality protect a conversation with someone who turns out not to be a real therapist? Faddis breaks down the tension between two positions: the government arguing the protection only applies to licensed professionals, and the defense arguing it protects the patient's reasonable expectation regardless of the other person's credentials.We also dig into whether any of this constitutes fruit of the poisonous tree, and why that particular doctrine likely doesn't apply since Winter was never a government actor. Every time this case seems settled, something new complicates it further.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Allison Winter spent nearly three years inside the Suffolk County Jail, counseling Rex Heuermann and his family session after session. She was there for some of the most consequential conversations of his case. She just wasn't legally allowed to be doing any of it.Winter is now facing eighteen felony charges, including grand larceny, scheme to defraud, and unauthorized practice of a profession, for allegedly posing as a licensed clinical social worker without the credentials New York requires. Prosecutors say she billed major insurance companies for more than sixty thousand dollars while treating Heuermann, one of the most closely watched accused killers in the country. The question we can't stop asking: how does someone without a license get that kind of sustained access to a high-profile inmate in the first place?We dig into what usually happens during jail visitation vetting for cases like this, and where that process appears to have broken down. Was it a system that failed to check credentials, or someone who knew exactly how to work around it? Legal analyst Eric Faddis joins us to walk through the mechanics — what the institution is supposed to verify before letting someone into these sessions, and why this kind of gap is more than just an administrative slip.We also look at what this means going forward. Winter was a visible presence in the Peacock documentary covering the case, appearing on camera during some of the family's most difficult moments. Now that her credentials are in question, so is the credibility of everything that happened in those sessions. We break down the charges, the money trail, and the access that made all of it possible.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Josh Duggar was convicted on federal charges involving illegal material depicting minors. Prosecutors described it as among the worst they had encountered. And his mother Michelle wrote the judge a letter calling Josh “tender-hearted” and asking for the family to be reunited.His father Jim Bob took the stand at a pretrial hearing and fought to keep Josh’s prior conduct with minors out of the record. He refused to answer questions. He was combative with the prosecutor. The judge later described him as reluctant to testify against his son.This is not about parental love that can’t let go. This is about a theological framework that makes letting go doctrinally impossible. The Duggar family’s support for Josh follows the architecture of their faith: forgiveness is not optional, loyalty is covenant, and the greater the sin, the greater the family’s obligation to stand in the gap. The one Duggar who chose the evidence over the framework paid for it with the family.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For more than twenty years, Janey Peterson has been saying her brother-in-law Scott did not kill Laci. She hasn’t wavered. She hasn’t changed the core argument. She’s pointed to the same uninvestigated burglary across the street, the same witness sightings, the same evidentiary gaps — and in 2024, the Los Angeles Innocence Project agreed there was enough substance to take the case on.Scott Peterson’s conviction was built on circumstantial evidence: no weapon, no cause of death established at trial, no crime scene. The California Supreme Court already overturned his death sentence over juror misconduct. And his defense attorney has said publicly that he’d bet his life Scott is innocent.This episode traces a family’s twenty-year fight and the question it forces: is this loyalty, denial, or something the rest of us haven’t caught up to yet?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Chris Watts pled guilty. He confessed in detail. His daughters’ bodies were recovered from crude oil tanks at his worksite. There is nothing left to dispute. And his parents responded by forgiving him at sentencing, blaming Shanann on camera, and telling reporters there were still unanswered questions.This episode traces the Watts family’s loyalty from the sentencing hearing through the media interviews, the Rzucek family’s furious public response, and Cindy’s declaration that she would fight for her son. It asks why a mother who knows every detail of what her child did — including his daughter begging for her life — cannot bring herself to stop defending him.The first in a six-part series about families that protect the accused. Not a retelling of the murders. A look at the parents who stood behind a confessed killer and blamed the woman he killed.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Barry Morphew posted a three-million-dollar bond and walked out of an Alamosa County jail in September 2025. He was fitted with an ankle monitor and ordered to remain in Colorado while awaiting trial for the murder of his wife, Suzanne Morphew. The trial was set for October 13, 2026. It was supposed to last six weeks. Both sides agreed to the date.Then the defense asked for more time. Attorney Alexis Bair-Elson told the court the team couldn’t adequately question witnesses given the volume of discovery. The judge granted a continuance over the prosecution’s objection and over the protests of Suzanne’s siblings, who had already arranged travel to Alamosa for the trial.The delay extends a case that has now stretched six years without a single witness testifying before a jury. Charges were first filed in 2021 and dropped in 2022 after the DA committed repeated discovery violations. Suzanne’s remains were found in September 2023 near Moffat, Colorado, with a wildlife tranquilizer compound in her bones. A grand jury re-indicted Barry in June 2025. He was arrested in Arizona, where he had been living under a name that was not his own.Tony Brueski digs into who requested the delay, why the prosecution opposed it, what Barry was doing while the clock ran, and what thirty-one pretrial motions filed in a single day tell you about the defense’s strategy.Barry Morphew has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.

Unsealed court records lay it out: security footage tracking Timothy Hudson's movements the night Anna Kepner died, a phone that ended up smashed in a trash bin, and DNA testing that points hard in one direction. Anna was found concealed beneath a bed aboard the Carnival Horizon — wrapped in a blanket, covered with life jackets, cause of death mechanical asphyxiation. Ship surveillance reportedly shows one person entering and exiting the stateroom. This look back, with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, examines what that evidence tells an investigator who spent a career building federal cases.Coffindaffer reads the physical and digital picture — what the surveillance establishes, what the destroyed phone signals about consciousness of guilt, and what the DNA evidence does for the prosecution's case. She also explains something most people don't think about: why a crime at sea is one of the hardest scenes there is to work. The ship sails into port. Thousands of people disembark. The crime scene is a vessel that's about to be cleaned and reloaded with the next group of passengers. Every hour that passes between the death and the investigation degrades what investigators can recover.Prosecutors fought to detain Hudson before trial, arguing he's a danger. The judge acknowledged an adult would be held — and still let the sixteen-year-old walk. He's living with a relative on GPS monitoring in a home that reportedly includes two other minors. Hudson faces first-degree murder and an additional serious federal charge. He has pleaded not guilty.

During a confidential session before the plea, Rex Heuermann brought up Karen Vergata — a woman he was never charged with killing. Her case was folded into the agreement. No separate prosecution. No public presentation of the evidence against him in her death. This look back examines a plea that wasn't just about admitting guilt — it was about controlling what came out and what stayed buried.The defense attorney called it a calculated pivot. Every pre-trial motion had failed. The DNA was admissible. The charges would be tried together. There was no path to acquittal. But the plea agreement reportedly bars further prosecution related to all eight named victims and includes a cooperation agreement with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit that, according to reporting, carries no enforceable consequences if Heuermann refuses or lies. For a man who spent decades organizing his crimes into checklists and phases, the plea reads less like surrender and more like one last piece of planning.The DA's office has acknowledged it is reviewing hundreds of cold cases across Suffolk County. Heuermann's attorney insists there are no additional victims. The families packed the courtroom — some weeping as he described how he met, strangled, and disposed of each woman. His ex-wife Asa spoke afterward, directing her thoughts to the victims' families. Heuermann is expected to be sentenced to three consecutive life terms plus an additional hundred years. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting. The question that won't go away is whether a man who planned everything planned his exit too.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The medical examiner's office completed its findings on Celeste Rivas Hernandez months before the public ever saw them. Then LAPD sought a court order to seal the report — and the ME's office publicly objected, stating the hold prevented them from serving the community with transparency. The people whose job it is to speak for the dead were told to stay silent. This look back, with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, examines what the sealed autopsy revealed once it was finally unsealed, and what the decision to seal it says about how this investigation was conducted.The forensic findings described injuries consistent with a sharp instrument and physical evidence embedded in the remains that prosecutors say connects the condition of the body to the charges filed. Toxicology reportedly found substances in the system of a child who should have been in eighth grade. Coffindaffer reads the forensic picture — what wound characteristics indicate about intent, what physical trace evidence means for establishing who handled the remains, and how the volume of digital evidence reportedly recovered from Burke's devices reshapes an investigation of this magnitude.The segment also examines the tension between LAPD's investigative strategy and the ME's mandate for transparency — and whether sealing autopsy findings for this long is standard practice or an anomaly. Burke faces first-degree murder with special circumstances, additional charges related to the victim's age, and a count related to the condition of her remains. He has pleaded not guilty.

The night Eric Richins died comes down to a gap that prosecutors couldn't stop pointing to. This look back walks through that night and the first seventy-two hours after — the window where, the state argued, Kouri Richins' story began to come apart.Digital forensics told a quiet, damning story. Prosecutors say Kouri picked up her phone around 3:06 a.m., then didn't call 911 until roughly fifteen minutes later. No calls to friends. No calls to Eric's family. Just an unexplained delay the state said reflected guilt. She told officers Eric had died of a brain aneurysm and held that line for more than a year — until the autopsy returned a lethal dose of fentanyl. Her phone's search history, prosecutors said, included questions about lethal fentanyl doses and prisons for the wealthy.The days after kept building the picture. She had a locksmith drill into Eric's safe, which held a large amount of cash. When his sister told her the trust had cut her out, prosecutors say Kouri became enraged and punched her in the face and neck until she was physically restrained — an assault she later resolved with a no-contest plea. And within days of his death, she was reportedly back in contact with her housekeeper, asking for more pills. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting. Taken together, these seventy-two hours are where the grieving-widow story first stopped holding.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eric Richins' three sons didn't walk to the podium at their mother's sentencing. They were too young, and carrying too much. So they handed their written statements to therapists and asked them to read their words exactly. This look back walks through what those boys said — and how Kouri Richins responded as she listened.The statements were devastating in their plainness. The boys described locked bedroom doors, a mother they said was drunk almost daily, threats made against their pets, and a household where an older brother had to step in and care for a younger one because no one else would. They described the permanent absence of a father who will never coach a game or watch them graduate. And every one of them asked the court for the same thing: that their mother never be released, because they finally feel safe and that safety ends the moment she's free.As those words were read, Kouri was seen scoffing and rolling her eyes — then dissolving into tears minutes later when her own family rose to defend her. This look back examines that contrast and what it revealed, then turns to her own statement and what she chose to say in response. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting. The throughline is impossible to miss: the people who knew the cost of this crime best were the children, and they were the ones begging to be protected.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Within weeks of Anna Kepner's death, court filings show Timothy Hudson's biological mother — Shauntel Hudson, married to Anna's father Christopher Kepner — expelled Timothy from the household. Neither she nor her husband has seen him since. His biological father put a text exchange into the court record alleging Shauntel said she couldn't jeopardize her marriage to help her own son. Filings allege the family was calling for Timothy to be "buried." This look back, with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, examines what drives that kind of rupture — and what it does to a sixteen-year-old already facing life in federal prison.Scott has spent more than thirty years in forensic mental health and family crisis work. She examines whether Shauntel is acting out of grief, self-preservation, or a combination that blended families in crisis produce when the person accused of taking a child is also the child of someone in the home. She addresses what happens to a teenager's psychological framework when the parent who raised him has publicly chosen the other side — and the nine-year-old sibling caught in the middle that almost no coverage has mentioned.The legal backdrop makes the family fracture worse. A federal judge acknowledged that an adult facing these charges would almost certainly be detained — and still allowed Hudson to remain free on GPS monitoring, living with a relative in a home that reportedly includes two other minors. Prosecutors raised that concern in open court. Hudson faces first-degree murder and an additional serious federal charge. He has pleaded not guilty.

Rex Heuermann's guilty plea ended the criminal case. It may have opened a new front entirely. A wrongful death lawsuit filed by the son of victim Valerie Mack names Asa Ellerup and their daughter Victoria as defendants, alleging the family profited from a documentary and showed disregard for the victims. Asa's attorney has called the claims reckless. Victoria has publicly stated she believes her father most likely committed the killings. This look back, with defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis, examines what the family's legal exposure actually looks like now that the guilty plea has established the underlying facts.Faddis walks through the legal theory of the wrongful death action — what it requires, how a guilty plea accelerates civil liability, and what the family's realistic exposure is. He addresses the difference between criminal culpability and civil responsibility, and whether the allegations in the lawsuit have the evidentiary support to survive early challenges.Retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke adds the behavioral layer: how the people closest to a serial offender process the aftermath of a courtroom confession, what the research says about compartmentalization at this scale, and what it means that a mother and daughter who shared a home with this man reached opposite conclusions about his guilt — one maintaining she knew nothing, the other publicly acknowledging she believed it.

Prosecutors have reportedly said David Anthony Burke did not act alone in disposing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez's remains. That statement, combined with the pattern of resistance from his inner circle, raises a question this look back puts directly to former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis: who else is legally exposed, and what would it take to cross the line from witness to co-defendant?Faddis walks through each player. Neo Langston's attorneys issued a statement using specific cooperation language — "fully cooperated" and "will continue to assist the prosecution as needed" — which Faddis reads for what it likely signals about a formal deal and what terms that kind of agreement typically carries. Burke's manager reportedly testified for multiple days before the grand jury, represented by the same attorney reportedly representing another witness — a potential conflict of interest Faddis says the defense could use to attack credibility at trial. The Burke family fought their subpoenas through a Texas appeals court, arguing they couldn't even see the full basis for being called. The court ordered compliance.Faddis also tackles the broader legal question: if others had knowledge of the alleged crimes — the relationship with a minor, the death, or the handling of remains — and stayed silent, does cooperation buy immunity, or could charges still come? Burke has been charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances, additional counts related to the victim's age, and a separate count related to the condition of her remains. He has pleaded not guilty.

The most dangerous moment in a controlling relationship isn't the worst fight — it's the exit. According to prosecutors, Eric Richins had quietly begun consulting divorce attorneys and restructuring his finances before he died, and the prosecution's theory holds that his moves toward the door are when the danger spiked. This look back uses that pattern as the frame for one of the most important conversations in the whole case.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke to break down the end phase of these relationships and why leaving carries such outsized risk. Scott explains how the loss of control triggers a particular kind of rage, and how that rage expresses itself in someone who operates with calculation rather than open volatility — quietly, strategically, behind a calm surface. The discussion turns to what a safe exit actually requires, because the advice to "just leave" ignores the moment of greatest peril.The segment also examines what happens to children raised inside these dynamics and what real recovery looks like for the partner who gets out. Drawing on more than three decades of clinical work with both survivors and perpetrators, Scott keeps the analysis grounded and practical. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting, and frame the personality-pattern discussion as professional commentary on behavior rather than a diagnosis of anyone specific.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Months after Rob and Michele Reiner were found stabbed in their own home, their son Nick's case still hadn't reached a preliminary hearing — and the reason is striking. The autopsy reports weren't finished, terabytes of discovery were still changing hands, and the whole proceeding got pushed to the fall. This look back unpacks what a delay like that actually tells you.Eric Faddis — criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor — joins to read the tea leaves. Is the holdup routine, or is the defense using the time to build something? Given Nick's documented history of schizoaffective disorder and a prior conservatorship, is a mental health defense effectively inevitable? And what does it do to a victim's family when the system can't even finish the paperwork on how their loved ones died? Jake, Romy, and Tracy have been watching this crawl forward one postponed date at a time.We revisit where things stood at the time of our reporting, then turn to the more disturbing thread running alongside it. According to tabloid reports carried across several outlets, Nick is allegedly planning a tell-all from his cell aimed at the siblings who cut him off. Retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke breaks down the contradiction: someone reportedly described as almost childlike behind bars, allegedly driven at the same time by something that looks a lot like a vendetta. We treat that reporting as the unverified tabloid sourcing it is — and ask what it would reveal if it's true.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For five weeks after Melissa Barthelemy vanished, someone used her phone to call her fifteen-year-old sister Amanda. Always from crowded Manhattan locations. Always under three minutes. Always targeting the teenager, never the mother. The calls described what had happened in terms designed to terrorize a child. Rex Heuermann pleaded guilty to Melissa's murder. This look back examines the phone evidence that helped build the case — and what those calls reveal about the person investigators spent over a decade trying to identify.The phone trail is precise. A burner phone Melissa had connected with traveled from Massapequa Park to Midtown Manhattan on the day she disappeared — the exact route between Heuermann's home and his architecture office. Hours later, Melissa's own phone traveled the same route in reverse. Prosecutors also alleged Heuermann searched online for images of the victims' families — their sisters, their children — after their deaths. The calls to Amanda weren't random cruelty. They were targeted.Melissa was a cosmetology graduate from Buffalo who dreamed of owning her own salon. The city was expensive. The salon job was slow. She ended up in circumstances she never planned for. This segment also covers Maureen Brainard-Barnes — the first of the Gilgo Four to disappear in 2007, a twenty-five-year-old mother of two whose daughter Nicolette was seven when she lost her mother. Heuermann pleaded guilty to both murders. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting. Their stories come first.

The connection between David Anthony Burke and Celeste Rivas Hernandez wasn't hidden. It was visible — on livestreams, in photos near her home, backstage at concerts, in matching tattoos. A thirteen-year-old girl who had been reported missing three times kept appearing in the orbit of a twenty-one-year-old musician with millions of followers. And no system intervened. This look back examines how that happened and what the charges prosecutors filed reveal about the story underneath.The charge sheet is the most serious a California DA can bring: first-degree murder with three special circumstances — lying in wait, financial gain, and the alleged killing of a witness — alongside additional charges related to the victim's age and the condition of her remains. The prosecution's theory ties them together: the alleged relationship with a child created the secret, the threat to an exploding career created the motive, and the alleged killing silenced the one person who could expose both.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott — who has spent more than thirty years working in trauma, violence psychology, and forensic mental health — joins to break down the systems failure that let a child become invisible. How the gap between a working immigrant family and a celebrity with a record deal creates a wall that keeps harm hidden. How online platforms function as pathways with zero accountability. And why the narrative that "she fooled everyone" is the most dangerous thing people can believe. Burke has pleaded not guilty and his attorneys maintain his innocence.

The Kouri Richins jury didn't want to convict her. The foreperson said the panel came in sympathetic, even hoping she was innocent. They returned a unanimous guilty verdict in about three hours anyway. This look back, with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, examines the evidence strong enough to defeat the jury's own wishful thinking.The case had visible holes. No murder weapon. A star witness whose credibility cracked on cross. A defense that rested without a single witness, betting on reasonable doubt. So what closed the gap? Coffindaffer breaks down what the verdict actually rested on — and the centerpiece may be Eric himself. Roughly a year and a half before his death, he quietly restructured his entire estate, telling his attorney the reason was to protect his children from his wife. That documented fear, put into legal form before the fact, sat in front of the jury alongside the financial pattern: undisclosed debt, insurance policies Eric reportedly didn't know about, alleged forged signatures.No single piece closed the case. Together, they drew something the jury couldn't reason its way out of. Coffindaffer also assesses the appeal record — the witness-coaching video, the credibility damage, the detective's admission that fentanyl was never physically recovered — and whether any of it has a realistic shot at moving the verdict.

Nick Reiner pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances in the stabbing deaths of his parents. He's held without bail, the harshest penalty remains on the table — and his siblings, Jake and Romy, are done. Sources close to the family put it bluntly: Nick's defense is Nick's defense, and they're not part of it.This look back examines where the case stood at the time of our reporting, then turns to the harder human question underneath it. The high-profile attorney the family initially funded withdrew early on, leaving Nick with a public defender. Reports indicate his siblings won't attend the trial, and that in months of incarceration his only visitor has been his lawyer. After years of treatment programs, a conservatorship, repeated crises, and a lifetime of absorbing the fallout, two siblings reached the point where holding on was no longer possible.To understand that moment, this segment looks at three other families who arrived there before them: Peter Lanza, who stepped away from his son and later said he wished he'd never been born; the family who largely withdrew from public view after the Charleston church murders; and Kerri Rawson, who had to grieve her father, the man known as BTK, as two separate people — the dad she loved and the killer he hid.The question this segment asks isn't whether the Reiner siblings made the right call. It's what it cost them to stay as long as they did — and what the families who finally let go can teach the rest of us.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #JakeRomyReiner #TrueCrime #FamilyTragedy #Boundaries #PeterLanza #KerriRawson #HiddenKillers

Every door closed. The DNA challenge failed. The motion for separate trials was denied. The 178-page omnibus motion was rejected. And then Rex Heuermann, who had spent nearly three years insisting through tears that he didn't do this, stood up and pleaded guilty to seven murders — and admitted to an eighth. This look back, with criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, examines the mechanics of a plea when a defendant's options have been systematically eliminated.Motta walks through what actually shifts in an attorney-client relationship when the legal avenues are exhausted and a trial date is approaching. The sentence — three consecutive life terms plus an additional hundred years — was reportedly the same whether Heuermann went to trial or pleaded. So the question becomes what he gained: avoiding the public spectacle, controlling the narrative of the admission, and securing the FBI cooperation requirement that his defense attorney described as part of the agreement. The victims' families, who were preparing to hear every piece of evidence laid out in a courtroom, got a hearing where Heuermann answered questions without emotion and described the cause of death in a single word.Motta also examines what the plea means for the additional cases connected to the Gilgo Beach corridor — victims whose remains were found in the area but who were never charged to Heuermann. A guilty plea closes one legal chapter but may leave questions that only a trial would have answered.

Burke's defense team — led by one of the most high-profile criminal defense attorneys in Los Angeles — drew a line before charges were even filed: he "did not cause her death." That is not a vague denial. That's a defense theory announced in public. This look back, with criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, breaks down how D4VD's team fights charges this severe — and where the strategy either holds or collapses.The defense has to do more than poke holes. At some point, Burke's lawyers have to tell a jury a story that explains how a fourteen-year-old girl he was publicly connected to ended up in the condition she was found — in his car. Not just create doubt. Actually give jurors a version of events that makes sense. If the defense already knows what the now-unsealed autopsy findings show, and they're confident it helps them, Motta explains what kind of alternative explanation that carefully worded public statement could be building toward.Prosecutors allege the financial motive was specific: Celeste was threatening to expose a relationship that endangered Burke's career on the night she was last seen alive. But the defense will argue a twenty-one-year-old artist had options that didn't involve taking a life. Motta examines how they dismantle that motive and whether it can work. Then there's the question of what happened after — the condition of the remains. Even if the defense creates doubt about who caused her death, explaining what happened to her body is a separate problem entirely. Motta explains whether you can separate those questions in front of a jury. Burke has pleaded not guilty.

Kouri Richins is convicted and headed to prison — and the questions people are asking only sharpened once the verdict came in. This look back is a post-verdict listener Q&A with retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke, working through what's still unresolved beneath the legal outcome.Eric Richins's family spent four years inside this case. Does a conviction deliver the closure everyone assumes it does, or is closure something we tell ourselves sounds right? The housekeeper who supplied the drug that killed Eric received immunity in exchange for testimony — and that bargain sits uneasily with a lot of people. The ghostwritten grief book Kouri sold to grieving families raises its own question now that she's convicted: where does that money go? We take each one in turn.Dreeke offers his professional read on the psychology of the moment a verdict lands — whether someone like Kouri experiences anything like recognition, or simply begins rebuilding a story in which she's the one who was wronged. He and Tony also address the defense's misconduct claims: alleged witness coercion, questions over evidence handling, and what it signifies that the jury convicted regardless. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting. The verdict ended the trial.

When the news broke that Rob and Michele Reiner had been killed, people close to the family reportedly weren't surprised at all. That detail sits at the center of this segment — not the shock of a crime no one saw coming, but the quiet horror of one that several people did.The night before, at a Christmas party, Rob reportedly told friends he was petrified of his son and believed his son could hurt him — words a guest later recalled at the family's memorial, leaving the room in tears. The fear wasn't hidden. The danger was discussed out loud. And awareness changed nothing.This look back examines where things stood at the time of our reporting and digs into the part of this story that's almost unbearable: the gap between knowing and being able to act. We're taught that vigilance is a kind of armor — that if you see it clearly enough, you can head it off. Rob Reiner understood the shape of a story better than almost anyone alive, and he reportedly saw where his own was going. It didn't save him.This is a segment about the specific grief of foresight — the way every warning you gave becomes, in hindsight, evidence you should have done more. It makes the case that knowledge was never the same as power, and that seeing the danger was not the same as being able to stop it.#RobReiner #NickReiner #MicheleReiner #ReinerCase #TrueCrime #SurvivorGuilt #Foresight #AddictionFamily #FamilyTragedy #HiddenKillers

Prosecutors say Timothy Hudson killed Anna Kepner "without any warning." But people outside the family have been telling a different story publicly for months. An ex-boyfriend's father claims he tried to warn the family about concerning behavior. Anna's aunt says Anna didn't want to go on the cruise. Hudson's own biological father accused the mother of taking the children without permission. This look back, with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, examines why prosecutors would use "no warning" language when the public record suggests otherwise — and what the answer reveals about how the government is building this case.Coffindaffer reads the alleged pattern: a stepbrother reportedly fixated on his stepsister, reportedly carrying a large knife, allegedly seen in a compromising position during a FaceTime call — all before Anna was placed in a cabin with him and no parents present aboard the Carnival Horizon. The crime scene showed deliberate concealment: Anna found under a bed, wrapped in a blanket, covered with life jackets. The suspect claimed total memory loss. Coffindaffer examines how the FBI handles that combination — concealment that requires conscious decision-making alongside a claim of amnesia — and what it tells investigators about whether this was escalation, not a single spontaneous event.Hudson faces first-degree murder and an additional serious federal charge. He has pleaded not guilty and remains free on GPS monitoring with a relative. The prosecution is fighting to revoke his release. Anna's father is calling for detention.

Jessica Taylor's remains told the story twice — once in the woods of Manorville in 2003, and again along Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach in 2011. Two locations, forty miles apart, eight years between discoveries, the same victim. She was twenty years old, working near Port Authority in the same Midtown neighborhood where Rex Heuermann ran his architecture practice. This look back centers on Jessica and the planning document prosecutors say connects her case to the larger pattern.The digital file recovered from a computer in Heuermann's basement was organized into phases — checklists for before, during, and after, with notes on preparation, evidence destruction, and alibis. Prosecutors alleged that material Heuermann consumed online mirrored what was done to Jessica's remains. A hair found on a surgical drape beneath her remains matched Heuermann's DNA. And forensic anthropology connected tool marks on her bones to those found on Valerie Mack — the same type of instrument, the same characteristics, years apart.Jessica was the youngest of the women Heuermann was charged with killing. Heuermann pleaded guilty to her murder as part of the agreement covering seven victims, and admitted to an eighth. He confirmed strangulation as the cause of death for each. The planning document and the forensic linkage between Jessica's and Valerie's cases form a critical part of the prosecution's theory of an escalating, methodical pattern. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting. Jessica was twenty. She deserved more than a case number.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The public version of this story has been simple: a thirteen-year-old ran from home, vanished into the orbit of a rising musician, and was found in the front trunk of his Tesla. But the documented record tells a more complicated story — and this look back reads it out loud.Celeste Rivas Hernandez was not missing for most of the timeline. She appeared at a family event in the spring. She showed up on surveillance footage in a neighbor's yard months later. She was brought home by police at least once. She was, by available evidence, coming and going. Which means the question underneath this case isn't just who allegedly took her life — it's who was supposed to be keeping her home, and why they couldn't.Eleven law-enforcement calls to the Rivas Hernandez home in fourteen months. A full school year with no enrollment anywhere. An ex-boyfriend on the record saying she'd been telling friends she wanted out. A next-door neighbor of nearly three years who had never once met the family. A licensed private investigator publicly asking whether certain family members knew more than they told police. This segment doesn't accuse — it lays out what's in the public record and asks the questions sitting inside it. David Anthony Burke has been charged with first-degree murder and additional counts with special circumstances alleged. He has pleaded not guilty and is held without bail. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting, keeping the confirmed facts and the open questions clearly separated.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Weeks after her husband died — and, according to prosecutors, weeks after she poisoned him — Kouri Richins went on a local morning show to grieve publicly and promote a children's book about loss. Trial testimony established she didn't write it; a ghostwriting service did. This look back examines that interview with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke, watching it with full knowledge of how the case ended.Scott unpacks the clinical picture: how someone performs grief that isn't real, how a public persona gets built and maintained in the immediate aftermath of a crime, and what Kouri's specific choices on camera suggest about how she was operating psychologically. Dreeke reads the behavioral layer most viewers miss — the word choices, the cadence, the non-verbal signals that land differently to a trained eye, especially in hindsight.We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting and go through the appearance in detail. The book itself became one of the case's most disturbing artifacts — a grief story marketed to help children cope, produced by the very person a jury would later convict of creating that grief. This is a close, expert read of what it looks like when someone manages a narrative in plain sight, and how two analysts trained to spot exactly that take it apart.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For years, the Reiner family publicly pushed back on the professionals treating their son — at one point even siding with Nick over the counselors who warned that he was lying and manipulating them. This segment makes the case that the experts may have been right, and that the tragedy wasn't a system that failed so much as a patient who allegedly wouldn't let it work.Nick Reiner had elite care: a facility reportedly costing tens of thousands a month, doctors managing his schizophrenia, and a family that never stopped trying. Sources say his medication was changed in the weeks before the killings — but medication only helps if it's taken, and sobriety only holds if it's maintained. Sources also describe his drug use worsening his condition to the point he was, in their words, not in his right mind.This look back examines where the case stood at the time of our reporting and weighs a difficult argument: that an insanity defense, which sources expect, doesn't erase the long chain of choices that came before. It's an opinion-driven segment about accountability and the limits of what love and money can buy. The Reiners gave their son everything the system had to offer. The question this segment puts on the table is whether the failure was the system's — or his.#RobReiner #NickReiner #MicheleReiner #TrueCrime #Accountability #MentalHealth #Addiction #InsanityDefense #ReinerCase #HiddenKillers

The defense team in the Anna Kepner case has made a series of choices that, taken together, tell you a great deal about where they believe this case is headed. They reportedly requested the adult transfer themselves. They entered the not guilty plea without their client in the room. They're asking for the same judge who released him in February to decide the detention question again. This look back, with defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis, reads each of those moves for what it signals about trial strategy.Timothy Hudson, sixteen, faces first-degree murder and an additional serious federal charge in the death of his eighteen-year-old stepsister aboard the Carnival Horizon. He's living with a relative on GPS monitoring — recently cleared to work at his biological father's landscaping business — while Anna Kepner's father publicly calls for him to be detained. The prosecution has turned over the full evidence file, including the autopsy, body camera footage, and a cellphone data extraction from a phone identified only as "C.K." Anna's father is Christopher Kepner. If the government is pulling data from a phone associated with those initials and handing it to the defense, Faddis examines what that tells you about where the investigation actually reached.Prosecutors estimate the trial would take about seven days. For a first-degree murder case with an additional serious charge attached, Faddis weighs in on whether that timeline sounds like a prosecution that's confident in what it has — or one that doesn't have as much as people think. Hudson has pleaded not guilty.

Before prosecutors linked Sandra Costilla to Rex Heuermann, the Gilgo Beach killings were understood to begin around 2007. Sandra's death in 1993 pushed the timeline back by fourteen years — and changed everything about the scope of what investigators believe Heuermann did. This look back examines the case of the earliest known victim and what her connection to the investigation reveals.Sandra Costilla was twenty-eight years old when her remains were found in the woods of Southampton, Long Island. For three decades, nobody connected her death to the Gilgo Beach case. Investigators looked at the wrong suspect for years. Meanwhile, according to prosecutors, the man whose DNA was found connected to her was living undisturbed on Long Island — building a career, raising a family, and allegedly continuing to harm other women for nearly two more decades. The DNA match came through advanced technology that didn't exist during Sandra's lifetime. The defense tried to get it excluded. The judge ruled it admissible.Heuermann eventually pleaded guilty to Sandra's murder along with six others, and admitted to killing an eighth woman as part of the plea agreement. He confirmed strangulation as the cause of death for each. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting. Sandra's case matters not just as evidence but as a life — a woman who was twenty-eight, who had a story that preceded by decades the headlines that finally brought her name back into public view.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Burke's attorneys didn't say he was innocent. They didn't say he didn't know Celeste Rivas Hernandez. They said he "was not the cause of her death." That phrasing is specific. It's surgical. And this look back, with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, breaks down exactly what it tells you about where the defense is planting its flag.The statement doesn't deny the relationship. It doesn't deny the car. It makes two very specific denials — that he was the killer and that he caused her death — and leaves everything else untouched. Legal analysts have noted that language this precise typically signals one of two defense theories, or both: someone else did it, or her death was not the result of an intentional act.Meanwhile, the witnesses in this case are telling their own story through behavior. Burke's manager reportedly testified over multiple days before the grand jury. A key associate was arrested in Montana for failing to appear and testified only briefly once compelled. Another witness reportedly had to be threatened with arrest to show up. When the people closest to a case are running, investigators take note of what they're running from. Charges have been filed, including first-degree murder and additional counts with special circumstances alleged. Burke has pleaded not guilty. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting. Coffindaffer breaks down the defense strategy, the witness-behavior pattern, and what the prosecution is up against going forward.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Kouri Richins defense did real damage on cross-examination — and still lost on every count. This look back, with defense attorney Bob Motta and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke, examines a strategy that exposed genuine weaknesses in the state's case and asks why it wasn't enough.The cracks were there. The jury saw video of investigators pressing the prosecution's central witness, housekeeper Carmen Lauber, for details that would help convict — before her account changed. The lead detective confirmed that four years of investigation produced no fentanyl physically connected to Eric's death. Lauber's credibility was hammered on cross, and her drug-court violations came out mid-trial. The defense rested without calling a single witness, betting it had already built enough doubt through the state's own people.Motta walks through the strategy and the execution, and isolates the one decision he believes may have tipped it. Dreeke breaks down the behavioral side — how a jury weighs a thin physical case against an overwhelming motive narrative, and why the absence of a murder weapon didn't create the doubt the defense needed. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting. This is a clear-eyed autopsy of a defense that found the gaps and still couldn't get through them. Richins has maintained her innocence and indicated she will appeal.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rob and Michele Reiner spent nearly two decades trying to save their son Nick. They sent him to treatment seventeen times. They let him live close to them. They even made a film together about his struggles. And at one point, when professionals warned them that Nick was lying and manipulating them, they pushed back on that advice — publicly siding with their son over the experts.That choice sits at the center of this story. Now Rob and Michele are dead, allegedly killed by Nick the night after a Christmas party they'd brought him to just to keep him in sight. This look back examines where the case stood at the time of our reporting — but the real subject is the machinery underneath it: how addiction reshapes an entire family, and how the people who love someone most can become the most exposed.This isn't about demonizing anyone caught in addiction. It's about how love without limits can be turned into a weapon, how boundaries get mistaken for abandonment, and how families convince themselves that staying is the only option right up until it costs them everything. The Reiners had every resource imaginable — money, connections, the best programs in the country. None of it was enough, because no amount of money forces an adult to get well, and no amount of love overrides someone determined to destroy themselves and the people around them.#RobReiner #NickReiner #MicheleReiner #TrueCrime #Addiction #FamilyTragedy #Manipulation #Enabling #MentalHealth #HiddenKillers

A federal grand jury returned an indictment charging Anna Kepner's sixteen-year-old stepbrother as an adult with first-degree murder and an additional serious federal charge in connection with her death aboard the Carnival Horizon. First-degree murder requires proof of intent. The additional charge tells investigators found evidence that goes beyond the asphyxiation. This look back examines what the indictment structure reveals about the prosecution's theory.The reported evidence is substantial. Security cameras showed the defendant as the only person entering and exiting the stateroom during the window investigators believe Anna died. Her younger sibling was outside the cabin and reportedly heard violent sounds. The defendant's mother reportedly released text messages in which he kept repeating that he couldn't remember anything. An ex-boyfriend of Anna's has alleged he witnessed concerning behavior by the defendant during a FaceTime call. Reports suggest the defendant was on ADHD and insomnia medication and had reportedly missed his insomnia medication for two consecutive nights. Alcohol may have been a factor.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down what the indictment signals, what the defense faces going forward, and the fractured family dynamic driving this case — a blended household torn apart by competing custody filings, abuse allegations, and a father publicly calling for justice against his stepson. The defendant has pleaded not guilty and remains free on GPS monitoring pending trial.

Prosecutors recovered a deleted Word document from Rex Heuermann's hard drive — described as a planning document for the killings. They matched his DNA to evidence found on and near multiple victims using whole genome sequencing, a technology admitted in a New York courtroom for the first time. And the original DNA connection came from a pizza crust recovered during surveillance. This look back, with defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis, examines the evidence that reportedly made the case unwinnable.Faddis explains what happens when a prosecution holds both a planning document and DNA linkage across multiple crime scenes. He walks through the forensic recovery process — more than 350 electronic devices seized, deleted files pulled from unallocated hard drive space — and where the gaps in digital forensics could have been attacked but weren't. He examines why the defense challenged the science but not the document, and what a Frye hearing actually looks like from the inside.The defense attorney himself acknowledged that two pre-trial rulings drove the plea: the admission of the DNA evidence and the denial of separate trials. Once both were decided, the path to acquittal effectively closed. Heuermann pleaded guilty to seven counts of murder — three first-degree, four second-degree — and admitted to killing an eighth woman as part of the agreement. He's expected to be sentenced to three consecutive life terms plus an additional hundred years, and has agreed to cooperate with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit.

When Neo Langston — D4VD's closest friend and frequent collaborator — posted privately that he's legally clear and has receipts, the posts leaked within hours and became the first real crack in D4VD's inner circle. But a statement analyst who reviewed every word found something more telling than what Neo said: the careful, deliberate absence of any reference to the crime, the person involved, or the fourteen-year-old girl who died.This look back examines Neo's role in the investigation at the time of our reporting — his arrest in Montana for failing to appear before a grand jury, his brief appearance once he was brought in, and the private investigator working on behalf of the family who publicly questioned why someone claiming to have information waited months and a felony arrest before speaking up. We also walk through D4VD's manager's grand jury testimony, which reportedly extended over several days, compared to Neo's approximately forty minutes.The case moved significantly after these events. David Anthony Burke was arrested by LAPD Robbery-Homicide and subsequently charged. The remains of Celeste Rivas Hernandez — a fourteen-year-old girl who had been missing for roughly seventeen months — had been found in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to him. A sealed medical examiner's report, a security hold initiated by LAPD, and tracking data placing Burke in a remote area are all part of the record. Burke has pleaded not guilty.

Kouri Richins was convicted of aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, forgery, and insurance fraud — and the jury needed only about three hours to get there. But the case against her was built almost entirely on circumstance. This look back lays out exactly how the state assembled it, piece by piece.The evidence the prosecution stacked up was staggering in its breadth even as the physical proof stayed thin: a boyfriend's reported text that he'd blacked out after consuming something Kouri gave him, the night before Eric died; an earlier Valentine's Day attempt that became its own attempted-murder charge; millions in debt; a forged insurance application; and the children's grief book she released after his death. Eric was found with roughly five times a lethal dose of fentanyl in his system. Prosecutors argued she slipped it into his drinks.We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting — more than forty prosecution witnesses, including the housekeeper who testified she sold Kouri illicit pills, set against a defense that rested without calling a single witness. This is the evidentiary anatomy of a conviction: what the jury heard, what landed, and how a financial-motive case carried the day even when the prosecution never proved the exact mechanism of the poisoning. Richins has maintained her innocence and signaled she intends to appeal.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When Nick Reiner's public defender entered a not guilty plea to two counts of first-degree murder, it sounded like a denial. It wasn't. Under California law, that plea is a strategic placeholder — and understanding why reveals exactly where this case is headed.He's charged in the stabbing deaths of his parents, director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, with a special-circumstance allegation that makes the case eligible for the ultimate penalty. But the defense is sitting on a documented history: a schizophrenia diagnosis, a years-long conservatorship, and a medication change made roughly a month before the killings. That history points to three possible roads — and each one leads somewhere very different.This retrospective breaks down where things stood at the time of our reporting: the legal mechanics behind the plea, what the experts said about each defense path, and why the strongest one may not be the one the headlines assumed. Then we turn to the family. Jake, Romy, and Tracy Reiner aren't just grieving — they're victims, mourners, and the family of the accused, all at once. Romy is the one who found their father.Sources say the siblings have severed contact entirely. Sources also say they're opposing the harshest possible outcome for the brother they've cut off — a decision that says everything about what they're carrying.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Watch the Taylor Parker interrogation in Maternal Instinct all the way through and you end up somewhere uncomfortable. The question is no longer what happened. It's what kind of person is capable of doing it.That's the question this part of the series refuses to look away from. Set aside the evidence and the timeline and look at the person. A woman who faked a pregnancy for the better part of a year. Who took a baby from a young woman who was killed for it. Who could then sit in a hospital full of police and keep her composure. Any one of those facts is staggering. Stacked in a single person, they demand some kind of explanation.Tony watches the whole interrogation as a way into that question. He walks through the psychology of who Parker appears to be — what the calm implies, what the deception implies, what the absent reactions imply — and is honest about where understanding ends and guesswork begins. Is this someone broken in a way that has a name? Someone who learned to mimic feeling without having it? The tape doesn't resolve it, but it offers a rare, extended look at the person behind the case.The question has trailed this case since it broke. The killing of Reagan Simmons-Hancock and the taking of her baby became the Netflix documentary Maternal Instinct largely because people couldn't stop asking how a person arrives at this. The full interrogation runs close to two hours — far beyond what aired — and that unbroken length is what makes it such a rare look at who she is.There's no single gotcha here. The story is the whole interrogation, read as a portrait of a woman now on Texas death row. The crime tells you what she did. This is as close as anyone gets to who she is.Links Block:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A defense attorney’s read on two cases that just shifted in the same week. In the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping, the contents of a second note from the alleged kidnappers were made public months after it was sent — claiming Nancy died shortly after being taken. Investigators reportedly consider it legitimate. Bob Motta evaluates whether the note functions as a confession and what it means for a prosecution that still has no named suspect.In the Alex Murdaugh retrial, the first hearing exposed a defense team with tools the prosecution didn’t anticipate and a prosecution facing a case dramatically reduced by the Supreme Court’s restrictions on financial crimes testimony. Motta breaks down whether the motive still works, what the death penalty threat actually accomplishes, and whether the defense’s eight new experts signal a challenge to the core forensics.

Dick Harpootlian arrived at Alex Murdaugh’s first retrial hearing carrying transcripts of interviews with the first people to arrive at Moselle after Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were found dead. What’s in those transcripts, according to Harpootlian: differing accounts that suggest other individuals were present at the property that night. Accounts that don’t align. And a defense team that is now asking questions about whether every lead generated by the original investigation was actually pursued.The hearing before Judge Debra McCaslin produced a trial date — April 5, 2027 — and a series of pretrial fights that signal how different this retrial is going to be. The defense has eight new expert witnesses. They want to send DNA recovered from under Maggie’s fingernails to the same forensic lab that worked the Bryan Kohberger case. They’re pushing to move the trial out of the entire 14th Judicial Circuit. And they’ve publicly stated they have a strategy to counter the kennel video — the single piece of evidence that shattered Murdaugh’s alibi the first time.The prosecution says the state is ready. The death penalty is on the table. And the judge has made one thing clear: no continuances. Both sides agreed to April — but the defense warned that DNA analysis could take six months. The next pretrial hearing is August 14, where the judge will rule on the DNA testing motion.End Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution’s motive theory rested on financial crimes testimony the Supreme Court called excessive. Twelve and a half hours of it. Ten days of witnesses describing Murdaugh stealing from clients and loved ones. The court said the trial judge allowed the state to go “far too long and far too deep.” That testimony shaped how the first jury saw the defendant before they evaluated a single piece of murder evidence.Now it’s limited. And the underlying motive faces its own challenge: the financial crimes are resolved. Murdaugh pleaded guilty. He’s serving decades. A jury deciding this case in April 2027 will know how the financial story ended before the murder case even starts. Bob Motta evaluates whether the prosecution can still make the motive land when the context around it has fundamentally changed.The discussion also covers the death penalty question, the defense’s advantage of having seen the entire prosecution playbook, and the Becky Hill lawsuit running on a parallel timeline.

Stripped to its essentials, the Taylor Parker interrogation in Maternal Instinct is a duel. Trained investigators sit on one side of the room. On the other sits a woman who had already spent the better part of a year proving she could keep the truth from everyone she knew.This part of the series watches that duel from start to finish. Tony treats the interrogation as the back-and-forth it actually is — the questions, the pressure, the openings the investigators try to create, and the way Parker handles each one. He digs into the psychology of how a practiced liar manages trained questioning: the deflection, the reframing, the recalibration when the people across the table stop believing her.It makes for genuinely tense viewing, because both sides are visibly working. The investigators know more than they let on. Parker offers less than they're after. The distance between those two things is the whole interrogation. And underneath every careful word is the reason they're all in that room: a young pregnant woman is dead, and her baby was taken.The contest is heavier than it looks. The investigators have the facts of a brutal case behind them — a young woman, Reagan Simmons-Hancock, killed in New Boston, Texas, her baby taken, the case behind the Netflix documentary Maternal Instinct. What they're facing is someone who had spent the better part of a year beating the truth out of every room she walked into. The full interrogation runs close to two hours, well past what aired, and the slow grind of it is where the dynamic really shows.There's no single gotcha. The story is the dynamic itself — a determined deceiver against the people whose job is to break through to the truth. Tony breaks down how the exchanges go, who's gaining ground, and what Parker's handling of the pressure says about her.Links Block:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The defense asked for a laptop so Alex Murdaugh could review discovery from prison. The judge denied it after the warden said no inmate gets one. The compromise leaves Murdaugh dependent on his attorneys to bring their own devices to a conference room. With a trial date set for April 2027 and the defense claiming they need six months just to get eight new expert witnesses up to speed, the logistics of preparing a capital-eligible murder defense without digital access to evidence becomes a strategic problem in itself.Bob Motta examines what the defense showed the court at the first retrial hearing: transcripts from first responders suggesting other people were present at Moselle, a DNA motion targeting the same forensic lab used in the Kohberger case, and Harpootlian’s public statement that the defense has a strategy for the kennel video. The question for a second jury: does the defense now have enough tools to dismantle the circumstantial case that convicted Murdaugh in three hours the first time?

The second note sent after Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapping said she died shortly after being taken. Investigators called it a legitimate communication from the actual kidnappers. Not a hoax. Not one of the fakes that the FBI has been arresting people for. If that assessment holds, the people who took an 84-year-old grandmother from her home left behind a written admission that she died in their custody.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta evaluates the legal significance of that note. Whether it functions as a confession depends on what investigators can connect it to — a device, a location, a fingerprint, a writing pattern. But the content alone tells a story the prosecution could use if the case ever reaches a courtroom. Five months in, nobody has been charged with the kidnapping itself. The FBI continues investigating leads including an anonymous emailer who claims to have video evidence. And the family is still waiting.Tony Brueski and Bob Motta break down the legal reality of where this case stands, what the note changes, and what still has to happen before anyone faces charges.

Everyone who watches the Taylor Parker interrogation in Maternal Instinct comes away unsettled, and most of them can't quite say why. This part of the series names it: it's not what she does on the tape. It's the thing you never see her do, across the entire interrogation.Look at the situation she's in. A young pregnant woman is dead. A baby is gone. Parker is in a hospital, surrounded by police, at the center of all of it. A moment like that should draw something out of a person, even one who's guilty — grief, fear, some recognition of the scale of what's happened. Watch the whole tape for it, and it simply isn't there.In this installment, Tony makes that absence the focus. He watches the interrogation for what's conspicuously missing and walks through the psychology behind it: what it means when the expected human response to a tragedy never arrives, what behavioral and clinical experts make of that kind of flatness, and why a void can say more than a confession.Set the case beside the footage and the absence gets louder. A young woman, Reagan Simmons-Hancock, was killed in New Boston, Texas, and her baby was taken — the case behind the Netflix documentary Maternal Instinct, with the person responsible now on Texas death row. A loss on that scale should pull some reaction out of anyone, even once across a long day. The full interrogation runs close to two hours — well beyond what aired — and the reaction never arrives. The documentary could only gesture at that. The full footage makes it impossible to miss.There's no single smoking gun here. The story is the empty space that runs the length of the entire interrogation. Once Tony points it out, you'll see it everywhere on the tape — and it reframes everything else about the person in that room.Links Block:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three cases the audience has been fighting about. Three details nobody’s giving a straight answer on. Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke cover them all in one full-length discussion — Nancy Guthrie, Nick Reiner, and Alex Murdaugh — and challenge the conclusions the comments have already reached.The Guthrie sheriff only “thinks” the FBI arrested people for fake notes — he doesn’t know. The Reiner case has split listeners between mental illness and money, and both explanations have holes. The Murdaugh defense is staking the retrial on unknown male DNA under Maggie’s fingernails that SLED collected and shelved. Robin brings decades of behavioral analysis to each one.This is the full, uncut panel. Every listener question. Every competing theory. And the reason the easy answers aren’t answers at all.

The Bryan Kohberger case cost more than eight million dollars in public money. He confessed. There was no trial. And the people who paid for it have never been shown the full bill. This is the story of what happens when real money gets treated like it belongs to nobody.Nearly five and a half million went to his defense — attorneys, experts, investigators — all on the public dime after he was ruled indigent. Prosecutors spent years pursuing the death penalty before it got dropped in a plea deal. A massive war machine built for a capital trial that never happened.The defense spending sits in a sealed court file. A judge ordered parts of it unsealed. Kohberger's lawyers objected to releasing any of it, lost, and appealed to the Idaho Supreme Court — billing the public for the effort. The case is over. The man confessed. There are no appeals on the conviction. And the receipts are behind a wall.The smaller numbers are just as telling. A free house ran up three hundred forty-six thousand dollars in security and upkeep before they bulldozed it. One agency lost sixteen thousand in non-refundable hotel rooms while another agency, facing the identical situation, booked refundable and lost about thirteen hundred. Nobody stole anything. Nobody's money was on the line, and so nobody protected it.Convert the waste into what it could have been — scholarships, classrooms, resources at the same university those four students attended — and it gets hard to swallow. The victims' families know exactly what a dollar is worth. They raise scholarship money by hand, in the names of the children they lost.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The South Carolina Supreme Court threw out Alex Murdaugh’s double-murder conviction after ruling that court clerk Becky Hill tampered with the jury. Now the defense is building the retrial around a piece of evidence the state never fully processed: DNA from an unknown male found under Maggie Murdaugh’s fingernails.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke work through the audience’s hardest questions. Murdaugh has admitted stealing twelve million and lying to everyone close to him for years. His voice is on Paul’s phone at the kennels minutes before the shootings, after months of denying he was there. The comments say that’s the case. But a caught lie proves concealment. The question is how far concealment actually gets you toward the trigger.Tony and Robin also confront the jury problem. After years of documentaries, podcasts, and a globally televised trial, every potential juror has been soaking in this case. The comments call the retrial a waste. The constitution says he gets one anyway. Whether a genuinely neutral panel can be seated may be the question that determines everything.

Ask people what disturbs them about the Taylor Parker interrogation in Maternal Instinct, and most will reach for something she said. But the truly unsettling thing on that tape isn't the words. It's the way she carries herself while the words come out.Consider the moment she's living through. A young pregnant woman is dead. A baby is gone. Parker is in a hospital surrounded by police, the center of all of it. That is a situation that should overwhelm a person. And Parker's bearing through it — the steadiness, the composure, the way she occupies the room — doesn't match the weight of what's happening at all.In this part of the series, Tony makes that mismatch the whole focus. He watches the interrogation as a study in behavior rather than content, walking through the psychology of demeanor under pressure: the posture, the affect, the response patterns, and why a calm that seems like background detail is often the most telling signal in the room. He explains what behavioral analysts actually look for, and why this kind of composure is so hard to fake — and so hard to explain.Hold the facts of the case against the footage and the gap widens. Reagan Simmons-Hancock, a young woman in New Boston, Texas, was killed, and her baby was taken — the case behind the Netflix documentary Maternal Instinct. The person responsible now sits on Texas death row. The full interrogation runs close to two hours, well past what aired, and the composure holds across nearly all of it. A clip could be a fluke. Two hours is a pattern.There's no single gotcha here. The story is the overall bearing of the woman on camera, watched end to end. Take in how Taylor Parker holds herself across this interrogation, and the calm becomes the loudest thing about it.Links Block:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
