On the morning after Mica Miller's death, her husband John-Paul Miller didn't call a press conference or issue a statement to his congregation. He preached a full Sunday service at Solid Rock Church in Myrtle Beach. He talked about taking a break. Then, at the very end, he mentioned that his wife was dead. He called it "self-induced." He told the congregation not to talk about it inside the church. Then he walked off the stage.The federal indictment that followed — filed December 2025 — alleges Miller ran a seventeen-month cyberstalking campaign against Mica while serving as her pastor and her husband. Prosecutors describe tracking devices, an intimate photograph distributed without consent, daily harassment exceeding fifty contacts, and interference with her finances and daily life. Mica filed eight police complaints. She went through two divorce filings. Miller held healthcare power of attorney over the woman accusing him of the conduct.Miller's history runs deeper than one marriage. His father Reginald built a church empire in the Lowcountry and lost it to four federal felony convictions involving forced labor of foreign students. Two civil lawsuits filed in 2025 name both father and son and allege both used their churches to target minors. Miller's first wife stated in a divorce affidavit that he'd confessed a prostitution addiction to his own congregation.After Mica died, witnesses saw Miller drinking at a bar with congregant Suzie Skinner four days later. Her previous husband — a paralyzed Army veteran — had drowned after confronting Miller about an affair. Miller married Suzie with armed guards thirteen months after Mica's death. His trial has been delayed to October 2026. Netflix's "Death of the Pastor's Wife" premieres August 26.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution's psychiatrist contradicted her own medical records. The defendant sobbed and told the courtroom she couldn't continue during autopsy testimony. Some jurors cried. And a conspiracy theory accusing Patrick Clancy of framing his wife persists despite having no foundation in the trial evidence.All of it happened this week inside Plymouth Superior Court during the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. She admits to killing them. The defense argues postpartum psychosis and overmedication. The prosecution says she acted intentionally.Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries was in the courtroom. He covers the Commonwealth's witness problem and the emotional toll of the autopsy testimony on everyone in that room. He also examines why Patrick Clancy — a man treated as a grieving father inside the courtroom — is being tried on TikTok.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Creighton Waters communicates with SLED daily. On August 14, he stood in a Lexington courtroom and admitted he had never heard of a possible connection between weapons from an Allendale County homicide and the firearms tied to the Murdaugh murders. The claim came from Murdaugh's defense team, not from the state's own investigators. McCaslin told the defense the claim raised her eyebrows.That admission followed a hearing stacked with prosecution setbacks. Judge McCaslin pulled the retrial out of Colleton County and the surrounding judicial circuit, where three generations of Murdaughs ran the local prosecutor's office. She gave the defense access to fingernail DNA from Maggie Murdaugh for its own lab analysis, overruling the state's argument that the evidence contained nothing new. She allowed conditional use of Murdaugh's prior testimony but restricted it to his statements about the night Maggie and Paul were killed.McCaslin assumed personal responsibility for building the jury pool after defense attorney Dick Harpootlian asked when Becky Hill's tampering influence on the first jury actually began. Hill, the former Colleton County clerk, pleaded guilty to perjury and obstruction.Murdaugh, who has pleaded not guilty, appeared unshackled and in a suit for the first time since his November 2023 financial crimes sentencing. His defense has a pending motion asking McCaslin to dismiss the murder indictments based on alleged fabrication of blood evidence by SLED's lead case agent. The prosecution has not yet responded. The next hearing is November 14 and the retrial is set for April 5, 2027.Links:Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

An ER physician testified today that Lindsay Clancy's own body told the story prosecutors have spent months disputing. Dr. Michael Vulfovich, called as an expert witness for the defense, reviewed her medical records and told jurors her injuries were consistent with a genuine suicide attempt. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is on trial for the murders of her three 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 faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation and has pleaded not guilty. Her defense, led by attorney Kevin Reddington, rests on an insanity claim built around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Vulfovich didn't stop at the fall itself. He told jurors that later in her treatment, Clancy coded and had to receive a blood transfusion just to survive — a detail that underscores how close the case came to having one fewer person in the courtroom to stand trial at all.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?

Patrick Clancy testified for two days at Plymouth Superior Court about finding the bodies of his three children. He was cross-examined by both sides. Neither accused him of killing anyone. Both treated him as a father whose children were taken from him.TikTok has a different version. A conspiracy theory with millions of views says Patrick strangled his own children and pushed his wife from a second-story window to cover it up. The theory's key evidence is that someone changed shoes.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 to the killings. Her defense attorney Kevin Reddington says she was in a postpartum psychotic state. Patrick has since remarried and has a new baby. People online treat his ability to move forward as evidence of guilt.Bob Motta of Defense Diaries was in the courtroom watching all of it. He examines what the trial evidence actually reveals about Patrick, why the conspiracy collapses under facts, and what drives an audience to invent an alternate killer when a mother admits she took her children's lives.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There's a moment in every trial like this where the questions stop being about the defendant and start being about everyone around her. This week, that moment belonged to Paula Musgrove, Lindsay Clancy's mother. On the stand, Musgrove admitted Lindsay told her — and told her husband Patrick — back in early-to-mid December 2022 that she was having thoughts of harming her three children. That's roughly six 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 Summer Street home in Duxbury, Massachusetts.What Musgrove did with that information is now part of the record: nothing. No push to get Lindsay committed. No 911 call. Prosecutors introduced text messages between the two women covering Lindsay's sleep, her state of mind, her day-to-day activities — and Musgrove testified she kept her responses upbeat on purpose, choosing encouragement over confrontation because her daughter was already struggling.Clancy, 34, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, and has pleaded not guilty. Attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication, and testimony establishing that Lindsay voiced these thoughts weeks in advance cuts both ways — evidence of a documented mental health crisis, or evidence she understood what she was contemplating. 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 during the killings 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?

Three healthy kids. A nursing career. A husband who worked from home. From the outside, Lindsay Clancy had everything the culture tells a new mother she should be grateful for. From the inside, she was writing journal entries about drowning. She told her NP she'd "try anything." She told her husband she was having thoughts she'd never had before. She went to emergency rooms, a specialty postpartum program, and a locked psychiatric ward. The system's answer was thirteen medications from five prescribers in four months, none of whom coordinated her care. When Women & Infants Hospital in Rhode Island allegedly said the drugs were the problem, the prescribing provider never returned their call, according to the defense. This episode follows the months before January 24, 2023, through Lindsay's own words read at trial in Plymouth Superior Court and Patrick Clancy's testimony about watching his wife disappear into a condition nobody around her could identify. He testified the day three children died was "one of her best days." Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty. Her defense alleges postpartum psychosis.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The defense opened its case 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, has pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication under an insanity defense.Three witnesses close to Clancy took the stand. Coworker and labor and delivery nurse Margaret Hamp described her as an empathetic, hands-on nurse who leaned on colleagues for parenting advice — and recalled a moment Clancy panicked watching a baby monitor when Cora was crying and Patrick wasn't answering, prompting a police wellness check. Clancy's sister, Allison Ozga, testified that Lindsay unraveled around Thanksgiving — worsening depression, suicidal thoughts. Under cross-examination, prosecutors pressed Ozga on being a mandated reporter and got her to concede she never felt Clancy posed a danger to herself or her children. That's the exchange prosecutors will keep coming back to.Clancy's mother, Paula Musgrove, closed out the day describing a daughter who was terrified, sleep-deprived, afraid to drive, afraid to be alone — texting that she needed help, and eventually telling both her mother and Patrick that she'd had thoughts of harming the kids.Clancy allegedly tried to take her own life afterward by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick, was out running errands that morning and has since relocated to Manhattan.

Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, accused of killing 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. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing insanity, pointing to severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.The most compelling witness on the stand this week wasn't a person — it was a wearable device.Digital evidence examiner Ian Whiffin testified that he built his own custom tools to extract, filter, and search data pulled from Clancy's iPhone and Apple Watch, explaining that firmware and software changes can complicate what investigators are able to recover from a device. What he recovered included heart rate readings ranging from 50 to 122 beats per minute on the day of the killings, with logging stopping at 5:23 p.m. He also detailed "flight climb" data captured on both devices — timestamps that don't match, raising the possibility of duplicated entries — alongside search history covering postpartum psychosis symptoms and depression medication.Cross-examination chipped away at the certainty. Whiffin acknowledged Apple Health data can be inaccurate and confirmed no further activity was logged after 5:38 p.m. Reddington then pressed him on device activity recorded January 25th — a day Clancy spent unconscious in the hospital following her alleged suicide attempt. On redirect, Whiffin explained the activity could have originated from either device, that watch data can only be pulled through the synced phone, and that police handling of either device would itself generate a record.Clancy is now paralyzed from the waist down after allegedly jumping from a second-story window. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

Five mental health professionals took the witness stand this week at Plymouth Superior Court as prosecution witnesses in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Every one of them described a woman in psychiatric crisis — cycling through medications, unable to sleep, calling a suicide hotline, begging providers to help her. The prosecution called them to prove Clancy was rational. The jury heard something else.Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. Her defense attorney Kevin Reddington argues she was overmedicated and suffering from postpartum psychosis.The most damaging moment for the prosecution came when Dr. Jennifer Tufts, the psychiatrist who treated Clancy for four months exclusively through telehealth, contradicted her own medical records on the stand. Reddington read the notes back to her. She told the jury she didn't mean what she wrote.Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries has been in the courtroom observing the prosecution's case. He breaks down what the jury is actually hearing, what Tufts's cross-examination revealed, and whether the Commonwealth's own witness list is doing the defense's work.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

TikTok creators are calling Patrick Clancy the real killer. Lindsay Clancy's own defense team has already told a courtroom she did it. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down what Patrick can do about online accusations reaching millions of people — and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott digs into a warning that came months before the deaths and never changed the treatment plan. Lindsay has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder over the deaths of five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan. Her defense argues severe postpartum illness removed her criminal responsibility. Prosecutors argue she acted with intention. In 2022, nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta raised the possibility of bipolar disorder with Lindsay and her husband, partly based on a reported forty-eight hours without sleep on a new antidepressant. She prescribed an antipsychotic used for bipolar disorder and insomnia, while the antidepressant regimen continued. Dr. Jennifer Tufts testified she weighed bipolar disorder that December and set it aside for lack of mania. Staff at McLean Hospital discussed sleep loss tipping a patient hypomanic before discharging her with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder. Shavaun explains why bipolar disorder often takes years to diagnose correctly, why depression is usually the first label clinicians reach for, and whether the criteria taught in training even apply to a new mother. Faddis then returns to Patrick — creators dissecting his remarriage, analyzing his testimony for signs of guilt, and building narratives the trial evidence doesn't support. He lays out what the Alex Jones and Sandy Hook verdicts established, and why suing anonymous creators with no assets may not be worth the fight regardless of the law. 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 rental company owned by two people accused of hiring Jared Bridegan's killer wrote him a check with "Good luck!" on the memo line. Seven weeks after the murder. That detail is now part of a Jacksonville trial that started with its confessed gunman refusing to cooperate. Henry Tenon told investigators he pulled the trigger and signed a plea deal to testify against Mario Fernandez and Shanna Gardner. Four years and one day after Jared Bridegan was shot, Tenon stood before a judge and asked for a trial of his own instead. Prosecutors did not object. Bridegan was 33, worked at Microsoft, and had four children. He was killed on February 16, 2022, after dropping his twins at Gardner's home and stopping to move a tire off the road, his two-year-old daughter still in the car. A bullet missed her by inches. A grand jury charged Fernandez with a count that existed only because that child was in the vehicle. Prosecutors quietly dropped it two weeks before jury selection. Days later, the same prosecutor told the court the state has overwhelming evidence of a conspiracy — and that an unidentified second person drove away from the scene in a pickup truck. Fernandez's defense says every check the family company wrote, including the $10,000 that reached Tenon's account within weeks of the killing, paid for legitimate landscaping and roof work. Prosecutors counter with three dozen calls between Fernandez and Tenon that same month and a jailhouse informant who says Fernandez tried to pin the murder on Jared's widow. Fernandez has pleaded not guilty. Trial runs August 17 through 28. 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?

Lindsay Clancy messaged her providers almost every day, begging them to change what wasn't working. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to break down a defense case built less on a single moment and more on months of documented desperation. Thirteen psychiatric medications. Daily messages asking for adjustments. Journal entries describing intrusive thoughts and brain fog in the weeks before her children died. Not one provider diagnosed postpartum psychosis before that day — every doctor and nurse practitioner who saw her documented anxiety and depression instead. The psychosis diagnosis came later, from a forensic psychiatrist retained by the defense, a timing detail Faddis says both sides know matters more than almost anything else in the record. Faddis explains why Kevin Reddington has spent three weeks dismantling the providers who treated Lindsay, including her psychiatrist, who admitted under cross-examination that she never once met Lindsay in person across fourteen telehealth sessions, didn't have her complete medical record, and didn't know Lindsay had called a suicide hotline twice. On the other side, prosecutors are leaning on what Lindsay did that morning — sending her husband out for takeout, timing his errand, and a specific search on her phone beforehand. Faddis walks through why the state considers that detail central, and why the defense conceded from day one that Lindsay killed her children, choosing instead to fight over whether she was herself when it happened. What Massachusetts law requires the state to prove beyond a reasonable doubt is where this case now turns, and Faddis makes the case for why the providers on both witness lists may end up mattering as much as anything said in closing arguments. 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?

Lindsay Clancy spent her career as a labor and delivery nurse. That background may be exactly why the people treating her took her at her word — and it's one of the threads Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott pull apart in this conversation about the case. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder after her three children died at home in Duxbury in January 2023. Her defense doesn't dispute what happened — it argues postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder made her not criminally responsible. Prosecutors call the killings intentional and rational. Shavaun, a licensed psychotherapist with three decades in trauma and the psychology of violence, explains what postpartum psychosis actually is: how it differs from psychopathy, how an intrusive thought differs from a voice giving commands, and how someone this ill can still present as organized and in control. Research puts the condition at roughly one or two cases per thousand births. From there the conversation moves to the clinicians who treated Clancy in the months leading up to the killings — the psychiatrist who cleared her for release from the hospital, and the outpatient provider who saw her by video through the fall and into January. What each of them later admitted under oath about their own experience with this condition, and about how those sessions were actually structured, is where the episode lands hardest. Shavaun also gives credit where it's due — one provider in this story did something that may have mattered more than any diagnosis. Clancy attempted suicide the day her children died and now attends her trial in a wheelchair. Whether her illness reaches the legal standard for criminal responsibility is a question for the jury — this episode is about everything that happened before that question ever got asked. 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?

Alex Murdaugh's defense filed a new motion demanding prosecutors search again for evidence and witness credibility material generated since the first trial, and certify in writing, within thirty days, that nothing favorable was missed. It names no witness. It alleges no specific missing document. Tony Brueski breaks down why that might be the point. The supplemental Brady and Giglio motion lists ten categories: plea and cooperation agreements, new witness statements, updated personnel and internal affairs files, testing methodology and proficiency records, additional search warrants, and anything post-trial bearing on the verdict's integrity. Prosecutors haven't responded yet, and a sanctions motion tied to an earlier suppression claim from the first trial is still outstanding. The filing lands alongside a separate move from the state: prosecutors want a new jury to hear Murdaugh's own 2023 testimony, including his admission that he lied to investigators for about eighteen months about being at the kennels the night Maggie and Paul were killed. The state is also renewing motions to keep third-party guilt evidence from the jury and to bar any mention of a polygraph, after Murdaugh's attorneys once claimed Curtis Eddie Smith failed one on the murders. Prosecutors are pushing for a fresh review of digital evidence while opposing independent DNA testing sought by the defense. Judge Debra McCaslin has tentatively set the retrial for April 5, 2027. 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?

Kevin Reddington spent hours cross-examining Dr. Jennifer Tufts on Day 10 of Lindsay Clancy's trial, and one line of questioning kept circling back to a test that was never run. Tony Brueski breaks down exactly what Tufts declined to order, and what she said when Reddington pushed on it. Tufts testified all fourteen of her appointments with Clancy happened over video, that she never spoke to Clancy's parents, and that she couldn't access records from a separate perinatal clinic Clancy was attending because she never asked Clancy to sign a release. Reddington also pressed her on a treatment she considered but couldn't prescribe outpatient, and on a 2021 study linking thyroid function to postpartum psychosis that she hadn't read. Midway through, he stopped and told her she was a doctor trying to do the right thing. The episode also covers testimony from Dr. Alia Goodheart, who treated Clancy at McLean Hospital and acknowledged she doesn't believe she's ever treated a patient with postpartum psychosis, and from Dr. Sejal Shah, a prosecution witness who agreed a person can communicate and make plans while in a state of psychosis. Both Tufts and Goodheart testified they never knew Clancy had called a crisis line twice, calls that appear in Clancy's own civil filings. The prosecution's cross drew out that Clancy booked her own appointments, drove herself to an emergency room, and never showed a sign of psychosis in front of Tufts. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder. Support is available around the clock at 988. 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 wrongful death lawsuit, filed in January 2026, doesn't just grieve his children. It builds a medical case against the providers who treated Lindsay in the weeks before Cora, Dawson, and Callan died. Tony Brueski opens the filing and lays out exactly what it alleges. According to the complaint, providers misprescribed a stack of powerful psychiatric medications and kept adding new ones without a coordinated plan behind the decisions. The civil filings count nine medications in Lindsay's final months, eight of them inside the last three weeks, while her own criminal defense counts thirteen. Her final psychiatric appointment fell on January 23, 2023, the day before her children died, and a simple lab test that would have shown whether her body was processing those medications was never ordered. The complaint states that with adequate care, it's more likely than not the children would still be alive, directly at odds with what prosecutors are arguing in Plymouth Superior Court, where Lindsay is accused of planning the killings. The episode also folds in eight days of criminal trial testimony, where prosecution witnesses, including friends, the family's nanny, and even Patrick's own relatives, keep describing Lindsay as a devoted mother. Tony covers the takeout order and errand splitting the audience, the pill bottles prosecutors emptied out to argue she skipped her medication, the psychiatric hospital that discharged her nineteen days before her children died, and whether a not-criminally-responsible verdict could ever mean Lindsay walks free. Two counties, two juries, and a lawsuit that reads like the missing half of the story. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ryan Kelly told Alex Murdaugh's jury that nothing tied alternate suspect Eddie Smith to the murders of Maggie and Paul. In June 2026, he was fired from a Charleston County internal affairs job. The records don't describe the allegations, and nothing currently links the firing to his SLED work or the Murdaugh case. Tony Brueski lays out exactly what's known and what isn't. The timing matters because of what else surfaced the same week. On August 5, 2026, Murdaugh's defense filed a Brady motion demanding prosecutors search every file, agency, and personnel record connected to the case and swear in writing that nothing favorable to Murdaugh is being withheld. It leans heavily on lead investigator David Owen's record: a 2015 murder case where a judge later quashed the indictment because the state sat on favorable evidence for nearly a decade, including a mother's account that Owen denied under oath. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins to weigh whether the defense's demand is a fishing expedition or something this investigation has earned. She also addresses the white shirt Murdaugh wore the night of the murders, which tested negative for human blood before a chemical used in SLED's own testing left it permanently unusable for any further analysis. The same day the motion was filed, a federal judge dismissed Murdaugh's $600,000 lawsuit against former clerk Becky Hill, whose jury tampering overturned his original convictions. Hill has pleaded guilty to obstruction, perjury, and misconduct and received no prison time. Judge Debra McCaslin hears arguments on the Brady 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?

The Plymouth County District Attorney charged one person in the deaths of the three Clancy children. State Police investigated and landed on that same name. It wasn't Patrick Clancy. So why does a growing slice of the internet keep insisting otherwise? Tony Brueski runs the theory down. The claims circulating on Instagram and TikTok form a full list: Patrick drugged his wife for months, he held the restraints, he staged the bedroom window, the locked door was his doing, and his 2026 remarriage is proof he had a motive all along. Tony checks each one against actual courtroom testimony — NMS Laboratories toxicologist Justin Brower's findings on four medications in Lindsay Clancy's blood, the direction an interior bedroom lock actually turns, and a fingerprint claim that turns out to misread what a state trooper said on the stand. Retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke joins to explain why online crowds gravitate toward the husband as a suspect almost by reflex, no matter what the paper trail shows, and what it would genuinely take to change that. His answer isn't the easy one. Patrick's alibi is backed by CVS surveillance and phone records down to the minute. The remarriage detail came out in open court — Lindsay's own attorney disclosed it and told the judge Patrick had lived through one of the worst tragedies a person can survive. Three providers who treated Lindsay have since testified, and civil filings name all three as defendants in the case some are calling a cover story. Hear the full breakdown and decide where the evidence actually points. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

One day, Pima County's sheriff said there was no ransom note in the Nancy Guthrie case. The next day, his department released two. Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke take listener questions on that reversal and everything else this case has surfaced in the six months since Nancy was taken from her Tucson home. The first note opens with 'Hello Savannah,' demands four million dollars in Bitcoin, and knows details only someone inside the house would know: a white smart watch on the floor by the bed, a destroyed flood light out back. The second asks for nothing at all. It claims Nancy died shortly after she was taken, that she's buried in nature, and that the writer hopes her children find peace. Listeners want to know who abandons four million dollars, how the writer knew the inside of that house, and whether a sheriff who reversed himself overnight can be trusted with the rest of this case. The financial trail raises its own questions. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer's trace shows the only money that ever moved into the alleged kidnapper's wallet came from the FBI itself, roughly three hundred dollars, and it's still sitting there untouched. No ransom was ever paid, despite Savannah Guthrie's public statement that the family did their part. Messages written directly to that wallet echo Savannah's exact on-camera words, and that line has never been answered. Search teams have gone back to the brush behind Nancy's own home since the monsoons. Dreeke and Coffindaffer weigh what all of it adds up to. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before Mario Fernandez's murder trial begins in the Jared Bridegan case, his defense has already reshaped the field. The alleged triggerman withdrew his confession. A judge blocked testimony about a private conversation between Fernandez and his estranged wife. Prosecutors dropped two of four charges without explanation.But the state kept the financial records. Fernandez's property company issued three checks to the man prosecutors say shot Bridegan, totaling roughly $10,000 after the killing. One was a $5,000 payment dated April 4, 2022, allegedly carrying the words "Kickstarter" and "Good luck!" on the memo line. The defense argues these covered legitimate property maintenance and that no money went to the alleged gunman before the crime occurred.Phone records document 35 calls between Fernandez and the alleged shooter in February 2022, the month of the killing, with 30 more the following month. A prosecutor told the court in late July that a second individual left the scene in a pickup truck and has not been publicly identified. An inmate who spent nearly a year near Fernandez in the Duval County jail told the state that Fernandez spoke openly about the conspiracy, assigned roles to the participants, and allegedly proposed a plan to shift blame onto Jared's widow Kirsten after the inmate's release.Prosecutors say they offered the inmate no deals on his own pending case. The defense contends the state's cooperating witness was coerced into his original confession and that jailhouse informants are inherently unreliable.Fernandez denies all charges. Trial runs August 17 through 28 in Duval County. Gardner's trial is scheduled for the end of August. Tenon goes to trial in spring 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 is three weeks into presenting its case, and the ground it has lost may not be recoverable. The state's own witnesses have consistently painted a picture that helps the defense — a devoted mother, a Seroquel spiral, thirteen medications, a psychiatrist who treated her by video call and never met her face to face.Lindsay Clancy's defense conceded she killed her children and is arguing she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis. Kevin Reddington told the jury she heard voices. He's read her journal entries about intrusive thoughts and desperation. He's dismantled the prosecution's medical witnesses on cross-examination. No clinician diagnosed psychosis before the killings.While the trial plays out in Plymouth Superior Court, TikTok creators are accusing Patrick Clancy of being the real killer. They're comparing him to Chris Watts and scrutinizing his remarriage.

Nick Reiner was supposed to face a preliminary hearing this fall. Instead, the DA went to a grand jury behind closed doors and came back with an indictment that changes the case. The new charges allege lying in wait — a second special circumstance that says the killings of Rob and Michele Reiner were premeditated and concealed, not impulsive. A grand jury indictment in California replaces the original charges and eliminates the preliminary hearing entirely. The defense loses its opportunity to cross-examine prosecution witnesses before trial. The proceedings are one-sided, sealed, and operate on probable cause rather than proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The indictment was returned July 20, sat sealed for three weeks, and was unsealed August 12. Nick Reiner denied the charges in court the same morning. California's lying-in-wait special circumstance requires a jury to find that the defendant hid what he planned, waited for his opportunity, and attacked by surprise — with the specific intent to kill. Nick was diagnosed with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. He spent a year under a conservatorship for grave disability. His parents paid for his treatment, kept him on their Brentwood property, and brought him to Hollywood premieres. His medication was reportedly switched weeks before the killings. Tony explains the strategic calculation behind the grand jury move, what the prosecution just committed to proving, and what two special circumstances mean for a death penalty decision that still hasn't been made. Nick Reiner remains held on no bond. The pretrial hearing is September 15.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

While Lindsay Clancy stands trial for killing her three children, TikTok creators are accusing her ex-husband Patrick of being the real killer. They're comparing him to Chris Watts. They're claiming Lindsay didn't jump from the second-floor window — he pushed her. Lindsay's own defense attorney has admitted in open court that she killed the children and is arguing she was not criminally responsible.The conspiracy theories have escalated during the trial. Creators are analyzing Patrick's remarriage to Dr. Rachel Danis, scrutinizing his courtroom demeanor, and constructing narratives that directly contradict the evidence presented before the jury. Patrick is a Microsoft employee living in New York. He testified as the prosecution's first witness and described finding his children after returning from running errands.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines the legal question at the center of the social media circus: can Patrick do anything about creators accusing him of murder to audiences of millions? Where the line between opinion and defamation falls. What it means that Patrick likely isn't a traditional public figure. Whether the Alex Jones and Sandy Hook precedent applies. And the practical challenge of filing defamation lawsuits against anonymous creators across multiple jurisdictions with no guarantee of collecting damages.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Text messages from Lindsay Clancy's phone were read to the jury at Plymouth Superior Court on Day 13 of her murder trial. On the morning of January 24, 2023, she sent Patrick a snowman photo at 8:19 a.m. He responded: "You're a good mama." She asked about takeout from a restaurant. That afternoon — Miralax, CVS, Callan's nap schedule, Pedialax. Parenting logistics until the final hours.The prosecution led the day's digital forensics testimony with one Google search from January 20: "Can you treat a sociopath?" Kevin Reddington spent his cross reading the rest of the browser history aloud. Searches spanning December 29 through January 23 covered every psychiatric medication Lindsay had been prescribed and symptoms including schizophrenia, psychosis, intrusive thoughts, and hallucinations.Messages between Lindsay and her mother showed a slow-motion check-in across January. Anxious about meeting the psychiatry team on January 3. Feeling a little better on January 10. Starting a new medication on January 18. On January 14: "Hanging in there, waiting for the day I feel like me."A forensic examiner testified that a second trooper had performed a separate extraction of the phone's data using a different method, and the two results didn't match. The case officer's walkthrough video showed blood pooled on the bedroom floor and a chef's knife on the nightstand. A medical examiner told the case officer that strangulation takes several additional minutes after loss of consciousness to cause death. Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty and argues postpartum psychosis made her unable to appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions.

Lindsay Clancy's defense says she heard voices on the day her children died. Every clinician who saw her before that day wrote down anxiety and depression. The postpartum psychosis diagnosis came after January 24, 2023, from a forensic psychiatrist working for the defense.In the months before the killings, Lindsay was prescribed thirteen psychiatric medications. She messaged her nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta almost daily asking to change them. She wrote about intrusive thoughts she had never experienced, about brain fog, about wanting help. Patrick Clancy told her doctors they were turning her into a zombie.Defense attorney Kevin Reddington isn't asking the jury to believe Lindsay didn't do it. He admitted that in his opening statement. He's arguing she wasn't criminally responsible — that postpartum psychosis, combined with a medication cascade no provider controlled, made her incapable of knowing what she was doing. He has spent three weeks dismantling the prosecution's medical witnesses on cross-examination and fighting to add new witnesses the judge initially barred.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down the defense's strategy, its strongest testimony so far, and the fundamental challenge at the center of this case: convincing twelve people that a woman who killed her three children was too sick to be held accountable for it.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy saw her psychiatrist fourteen times. Every appointment was a video call. Dr. Jennifer Tufts testified she never observed signs of psychosis and that Lindsay denied wanting to hurt herself or anyone else. On cross-examination, the foundation of that testimony collapsed.Tufts didn't have Lindsay's full medical record during treatment. She never used the Edinburgh screening scale. She was unaware Lindsay had reached out to a suicide hotline on two occasions. Her board certification arrived on the same date Lindsay filled out intake paperwork. The prosecution brought her to the stand to prove Lindsay was mentally stable. Three hours of defense questioning turned that testimony into an exhibit about a healthcare system that evaluated a struggling mother through a screen.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines the prosecution's strategy three weeks into the trial. The state's premeditation theory relies on a single Google search and the timing of a takeout errand. But witness after witness called by the prosecution has described a devoted mother overwhelmed by thirteen medications and unable to get adequate help. In Massachusetts, the prosecution carries the burden of proving criminal responsibility. The state's own case may be undermining that burden.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

"I want a trial." Judge London Kite asked Henry Tenon whether he wanted to keep his guilty plea or take his chances with a jury, and that was his answer. She told him he had it. One prosecution turned into three separate trials stretching from August 2026 into March 2027.Jared Bridegan died on February 16, 2022 on Sanctuary Boulevard in Jacksonville Beach. He had just dropped his twins at the home of his ex-wife, Shanna Gardner, after taking them to dinner. A tire in the road stopped his SUV. He got out to move it and was shot. His 2-year-old daughter was in the back seat and was not hit.Mario Fernandez Saldana went first. His verdict will be read aloud rather than sealed, days before the people who will judge Gardner are chosen. We cover the wiretaps on Gardner's phone and Apple Watch that a judge refused to suppress, the witness kept off the stand under marital privilege, and the state's late disclosure that a second person drove away from the scene.Gardner, Fernandez Saldana and Tenon have each pleaded not guilty and are 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?

Screening tools exist because the human eye misses things. There is a ten-question screen built specifically for postpartum mood disorders. Lindsay Clancy took it in November 2022 with a nurse practitioner and scored 23 out of 30. Testimony established McLean Hospital never gave it to her.The three first-degree murder counts against Clancy all carry not guilty pleas. Cora, Dawson, and Callan died on January 24, 2023. She admits causing their deaths. The not criminally responsible claim rests on postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder. The Commonwealth says she acted rationally and knew what she was doing.This is the full conversation with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, running all three parts.Part one explains the illness. A 2017 review in BMC Psychiatry puts postpartum psychosis at roughly one or two births in a thousand, and it usually arrives within days or weeks of delivery. Callan was eight months old.Part two examines the clinicians. Dr. Jennifer Tufts treated Clancy across fourteen video sessions without ever meeting her, and testified she relied on Clancy to volunteer whatever mattered.

Jesse Mack Butler pleaded no contest to eleven felony counts in Payne County, Oklahoma in August 2025. A judge found a factual basis and entered convictions. Less than a year later, those convictions were gone.The dismissal landed on August 3, 2026, the day before his nineteenth birthday, which is the exact point Oklahoma law ends a court's power over a youthful offender. Juvenile affairs officials reported he met every condition without a violation.His penalty was counseling, a curfew, daily check-ins, no social media, 150 hours of community service, and roughly $3,300. He faced 78 years and never entered custody at any stage of the case.Two sixteen-year-old Stillwater High students reported him. Civil filings say one required surgery on her throat and that a doctor told her how close she had come. Those filings also allege a coordinated effort to pressure her into silence. Butler has never answered any of it under oath.The families fought the plea under Marsy's Law and lost in April 2026, when a judge found they had been properly notified and fairly treated. Protesters filled the courthouse steps in November 2025 demanding the judge and district attorney be removed. The district attorney later left office.Her replacement, sworn in three days before the final hearing, is sending the file to federal prosecutors and says double jeopardy leaves him nothing else. A former prosecutor put the odds bluntly: federal authorities rarely reopen a finished state case.State Farm has asked a federal judge to release it from defending Butler, arguing its policies cover accidents rather than intentional or criminal acts.The girl's parents have sued Butler, his parents, and the school district. A deposition is the one thing left that puts him under oath.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 murder trial of Lindsay Clancy moved into some of its most graphic territory today, with Massachusetts State Police case officer Joshua McKelligan testifying about the crime scene video he captured inside the Duxbury, Massachusetts home just hours after the killings. Clancy is 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. 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, led by attorney Kevin Reddington.McKelligan told jurors he entered the home in the early morning of January 25 to document the master bedroom on video, footage played in court today that centered on blood spatters and smears, a knife, and the window from which Clancy allegedly jumped. The blood, he testified, was on the floors — not the walls. He also described a bloody handprint discovered outside that window, and testified that Patrick Clancy personally handed him pill bottles from the home.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 suicide by jumping from that second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. 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?

In late 2022, a psychiatric nurse practitioner told Lindsay Clancy and her husband that Clancy might have an underlying bipolar disorder. The antidepressant prescriptions kept going.The case involves three counts of first-degree murder, pleaded not guilty, after January 24, 2023 is the date all three died. She has never denied it. The defense frames this as postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder negating responsibility. Prosecutors argue she acted with clear intent and should answer for it.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott close out the series on the diagnosis and what it explains.Dr. Tufts testified the December 2022 bipolar question closed on the absence of mania. Clancy disagreed with the diagnosis, and the discharge paperwork read severe depression with no psychotic features noted.Shavaun explains bipolar I in plain terms, walks through why the average diagnostic delay runs six to ten years, and addresses what four months of anxiety and depression treatment could not account for.She gives the honest read on antidepressants and bipolar patients rather than the convenient one. The research conflicts, and a toxicology expert testified Clancy's drug levels were low.Shavaun Scott's published work includes Nightbird.Clancy scored 21 out of 30 on a depression scale with Jollotta on December 6, 2022, and Jollotta testified she saw no psychosis or mania that day. Clancy's lawsuit says a Columbia psychiatrist spent eight hours with her after the deaths and diagnosed bipolar disorder with psychosis and anxious distress with postpartum onset. Shavaun explains why depression is almost always the first label a clinician reaches for, and why a patient disagreeing with a bipolar diagnosis is part of the clinical picture rather than a reason to close the file.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want 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.

Kevin Reddington asked a state police sergeant whether the prosecution believed a defense psychologist told Lindsay Clancy to say she had heard voices. The question triggered a twenty-minute sidebar and a hearing outside the jury's presence.Clancy faces three first-degree murder charges in the deaths of her children at the family's Duxbury home on January 24, 2023. She has admitted to the killings. Her attorneys argue postpartum psychosis left her unable to distinguish right from wrong. Prosecutors contend she planned the deaths and carried them out with intent.Sgt. Daniel Lawlor had been guarding Clancy's room at Brigham and Women's Hospital. He testified he stayed outside the door while psychologist Paul Zeizel was with Clancy. She used Zeizel's phone to reach Patrick Clancy and reported to him that she had heard commanding voices.Lawlor confirmed under questioning that detective Josh McKelligan raised the coaching theory. He also confirmed no investigation had produced evidence for it. Buckingham denied it reflected the prosecution's thinking and pointed out that theories in active cases change.Later in the day, doctors from the state medical examiner's office testified about the mechanism and timeline of the children's deaths. Reddington chose not to cross-examine. Clancy was escorted from the courtroom after breaking down during testimony. Therapist Latiesha Dukes also told jurors she never saw signs of psychosis or mania across four sessions with Clancy.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want 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?

A digital forensics witness delivered one of the more whiplash-inducing moments of the Lindsay Clancy trial today, and it happened in the space of a single cross-examination. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is charged with murdering her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — allegedly strangling them 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.Kyle Pavao, a Massachusetts State Police cyber crime unit examiner, testified he pulled a search for "how to commit suicide" off the family's Surface Pro, along with searches tied to Tom T. Hall's suicide and Wikipedia's suicide methods page. On direct, it read like a roadmap to the state's timeline.Then Reddington got up. Pavao conceded the search actually ran on Patrick Clancy's computer in August 2022 — months before the deaths — and that there's no way to identify who was actually typing. He also confirmed the machine held a wide range of other searches about medications, side effects, and bipolar disorder. Context the state didn't lead with.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.

Ruling out a condition you have never encountered is a different act than ruling out one you know. That question runs through the medical testimony in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial.Clancy stands charged with three counts of first-degree murder, all pleaded not guilty, in the January 24, 2023 deaths of her three children. She has not contested causing their deaths. The defense claims postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder are why she is not criminally responsible. The state's argument is that she acted knowingly and should be held accountable.Dr. Alia Goodheart of McLean Hospital testified her caseload had never included one, and could not say how many postpartum depression patients she had treated in twenty years. Dr. Jennifer Tufts testified she was not certain how rare the condition is, and that she had not treated any such patients in the period before Clancy came to her.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski for part two of three. Shavaun has practiced for more than thirty years across trauma, anxiety, depression, and the psychology of violence.The conversation covers the records that were never requested, the releases that were never signed, and fourteen video appointments with a psychiatrist who was never in the same room with her. It covers what it means that Clancy spent her career as a labor and delivery nurse and was treated as a reliable reporter by everyone who saw her.It also covers the care that held up. A psychiatric nurse practitioner gave Clancy her personal cell number and called her on a day off.Neither has admitted liability.Julie Paul launched South Shore Hospital's Perinatal Behavioral Health Program in 2018 and met Clancy through Clancy's then-mother-in-law, a nurse at the same hospital. Their contact lasted about ten days because Paul was leaving for another job. Tufts finished her residency in July 2022, the month before Clancy's first appointment.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Four clinicians treated Lindsay Clancy in the months before her children died, and each of them has now testified about what they saw. None of them described psychosis. Her defense says she was hearing a voice instructing her to kill her three children and then herself.Clancy's not guilty pleas cover three counts of first-degree murder in the Duxbury deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan on January 24, 2023. The defense has never argued she wasn't responsible for their deaths. Prosecutors contend she planned it and carried it out knowingly.Tony Brueski brings in psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, who has practiced for more than thirty years across trauma, anxiety, depression, and the psychology of violence, for part one of a three-part conversation.The starting point is how uncommon this is. Prevalence figures cluster around one to two cases per thousand deliveries. Researchers describe episodes where disorientation and total clarity trade places inside the same day, which is why a patient can look fine in a twenty-five-minute appointment.Shavaun addresses the timing. This illness normally shows up within days or weeks of a birth. Callan had turned eight months.She separates psychosis from psychopathy, explains where an intrusive thought stops and a command voice starts, and takes on why Clancy told her providers one thing and her husband another. She closes on the fact prosecutors lean on hardest: that Clancy scheduled her own appointments, advocated for herself, and presented with clear, linear thinking right up to the day before.Her memoir, Nightbird, draws on the same clinical background. Two more parts follow this one.Clancy survived a suicide attempt the same day and is paraplegic. She attends her trial in a wheelchair. Shavaun addresses what it means that her final appointment with a psychiatrist happened on January 23, the day before, and that the notes from it recorded a flat, anxious, numb mood with no motivation.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 line of forensic testimony in the Lindsay Clancy trial has convinced an enormous number of people that her husband was the one holding those exercise bands. Search Lindsay Clancy fingerprints and you will find it everywhere, usually with his name attached to it.Trooper Jonathan O'Loughlin testified that investigators recovered no usable fingerprints from the knife or the three bands. If her prints were not on them, the argument runs, somebody else was holding them. Tony Brueski takes that argument seriously enough to check it against the rest of the same testimony.Then he keeps going down the list. What a forensic toxicologist told the jury about the four medications in her blood. What an interior bedroom door actually does. Who was on the other end of two phone calls that evening and what they heard. Who is testifying at Plymouth Superior Court, and which of those witnesses are named in the civil suits.And a phone conversation from the first anniversary that has been sitting in the open for two years while everyone argued past it.There is a difference between no usable fingerprints and no DNA, and the two keep getting blended together. Her DNA was on those bands, and both sides agreed to it in open court.On August 4 she answered the judge out loud, more than once, agreeing that the Commonwealth would not have to prove certain forensic facts about the blood, the bands and the DNA. Her attorney told the court they had not been contesting the government's case in chief at all.If you have argued about this case with anybody, get the whole list first. Then argue.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 trial is live. One retrial is more than a year out. Tony Brueski takes listener questions on both in a single combined cut. His guest is Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program.The Lindsay Clancy trial is in the middle of medical testimony at Plymouth Superior Court, with the case expected to run six to eight weeks and more than a hundred and eighty witnesses on the list. Two treating psychiatrists have testified they saw no psychosis. One of them acknowledged she does not think she has ever treated a patient with postpartum psychosis, a condition that affects roughly one to two mothers per thousand births.The Alex Murdaugh retrial is tentatively set for April 5, 2027 before Judge Debra McCaslin. Pretrial proceedings are running out of Lexington County. Prosecutors have moved to admit his 2023 trial testimony and to bar polygraph evidence and third-party guilt. The defense has demanded a fresh Brady and Giglio search with written certification inside thirty days, independent DNA testing, and a change of venue.Different states, different crimes, different defendants. What lines up is the fight over what the record does not contain and who is responsible for that.Lindsay Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and is presumed innocent. Her defense argues she was not criminally responsible. Alex Murdaugh's convictions were overturned by the South Carolina Supreme Court. He awaits retrial and is presumed innocent. He has denied the killings throughout.Robin Dreeke takes all three segments and listeners run the questions.

A killing with an eyewitness account contradicted by the autopsy. Video of the defendant striking the victim. Neighbors calling 911 six times in three months. On True Crime Today, Tony Brueski asks what more a prosecution needs, because in the Courtney Clenney case, all of it added up to six years.Clenney stabbed Christian Obumseli in their Miami apartment on April 3, 2022, and told detectives she threw the knife from ten feet away in self-defense. The medical examiner found a forceful downward thrust instead. She told the 911 operator the wound was in his shoulder. It was in his chest. For four months after his death she remained free, photographed at a hotel bar days later, until an arrest in Hawaii and a bond denial that cited her money and her history of violating court orders.On August 10, 2026, the second-degree murder charge vanished. In its place came manslaughter with a deadly weapon, a guilty plea, and a six-year sentence with four years of jail credit already earned. Tony walks through the honest case for the deal, including the battered-partner evidence and the family's approval, and the harder case against it, built entirely from the state's own words and filings.Then there is the twist from the hearing itself, a legal maneuver by her attorneys that concerns money, a Florida statute, and what Clenney is allowed to do once she is out. It is the detail that turns a sentencing story into something else.Christian was twenty-seven, a young man his mother asked the world to remember as more than a case name. This one stays with the facts, in the order that makes them land.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 murder trial delivered its most clinical — and most brutal — testimony yet today. 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 building an insanity defense around claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Three witnesses took the stand. Nichole Bradley, Assistant Deputy Superintendent with the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department, described the security watch maintained on Clancy's hospital room. Then the medical testimony began. Renee Stonebridge of the Chief Medical Examiner's Office, trained in neuropathology, testified that all three children died from asphyxia, with significant brain swelling from lost oxygen and blood supply. Dr. Barbara Olson, who conducted the autopsies on Cora and Dawson, testified that bruises found on Cora were recent, though she couldn't specify exactly when they were inflicted, and that both children would have experienced pain as they lost consciousness during strangulation. Cause of death for both: mechanical asphyxiation.The testimony proved too much for the courtroom more than once — recesses were called as Clancy had visible emotional reactions to what was being described.Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window after the killings and remains 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?

Alex Murdaugh's defense is asking a judge to move the retrial out of the entire fourteenth judicial circuit, and it is the motion people argue about most. Tony Brueski takes listener questions with Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program.The filing calls the case among the most heavily publicized criminal prosecutions in South Carolina history. It asks the court to move the trial outside the circuit where Murdaugh's family operated for generations. His great-grandfather, grandfather and father served consecutively as the region's elected solicitor from 1920 to 2006. The circuit covers five counties: Allendale, Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper.Judge Debra McCaslin has left it to the state and the defense to discuss possible locations and bring her options. Pretrial proceedings are running out of her home court in Lexington County.The listener objection is a fair one. Documentaries, books and streaming series about this family reached the whole country, not five counties. Moving the trial also means the community where Maggie and Paul Murdaugh lived and died does not get to sit in judgment.The counterargument holds that saturation is not uniform. Jurors drawn from counties the family ran for a century carry associations jurors elsewhere do not. That is the standard a venue motion is measured against.The defense's other pending filings include a demand for a fresh Brady and Giglio search with written certification inside thirty days, plus a bid for independent DNA testing. McCaslin has also ruled Murdaugh will appear before the new jury in street clothes and without restraints, over the state's objection.Murdaugh's convictions were overturned, he awaits retrial, and he 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?

By mid-December 2022, Lindsay Clancy's psychiatric nurse practitioner had exhausted her outpatient tools. Rebecca Jollotta had spent weeks adjusting medications while Clancy messaged her constantly about worsening symptoms, intrusive thoughts, and sleeplessness she could not shake.Clancy faces three first-degree murder charges in the deaths of her children at the family's Duxbury home on January 24, 2023. She has admitted to the killings. Her attorneys argue postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder left her unable to distinguish right from wrong. Prosecutors contend she planned the deaths and carried them out with intent.On December 12, Jollotta recommended partial hospitalization. Three days later the couple called to report Clancy's worst day and persistent thoughts of ending her life. Jollotta told them to seek evaluation at Massachusetts General Hospital.They chose Women & Infants Hospital in Providence instead, a postpartum-specific program. Jollotta anticipated a two-week admission. Clancy spent one day. Reddington asked on cross-examination whether the facility turned her away because staff believed she had been overmedicated.Jollotta was the sole provider who had raised a bipolar possibility, telling Clancy and her husband Patrick at a December 6 appointment that the medication reactions concerned her. Patrick dismissed the diagnosis. Jollotta never consulted Dr. Jennifer Tufts, who was prescribing to Clancy simultaneously. On redirect, prosecutor Jennifer Sprague asked whether Jollotta ever believed Clancy was experiencing postpartum psychosis. Jollotta answered that she did not.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Testimony in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial keeps circling back to one question: who actually knew what, and when. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 7 months — 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 building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Under cross-examination today, Latisha Dukes, a counselor and psychologist at South Shore Hospital, confirmed she never reviewed the notes or records from Paul or Jollotta before treating Clancy — a gap defense attorneys clearly wanted the jury to sit with. Dukes testified Clancy feared getting addicted to Ativan just to be able to sleep, and that she was dealing with "unmanageable anxiety," depression, and both passive and active suicidal thoughts. On redirect, Dukes said skipping the prior notes was intentional — she wanted "fresh eyes" on the case — and added she had no role in managing Clancy's medications. Also on the stand: Duxbury Police Officer Cameron Dailey, who testified about being assigned to security detail watching Clancy at the hospital.Prosecutors maintain Clancy understood the nature of her actions regardless of her mental state. After the killings, she allegedly tried 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 that day and has since moved 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?

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, moved through two consequential witnesses today. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is mounting an insanity defense built around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication, led by attorney Kevin Reddington.First up: Trooper Dan Lawlor, who was providing security at the hospital. On cross-examination, he testified he saw a doctor go in to consult with Clancy, and later found out that doctor had handed her his own phone to call her husband, Patrick. Lawlor also testified that he and the lead investigator discussed the possibility that a psychiatrist coached Clancy to say she was hearing voices. On re-direct, he said a separate conversation with another trooper didn't shift his testimony.Next, Latisha Dukes, a counselor and psychologist at South Shore Hospital, testified she began treating Clancy in late November 2022 for depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and a stated wish not to be here anymore. Dukes also said Clancy had sought help at Women's and Infants Hospital before the killings and was turned away for lacking 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. 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?

A Massachusetts State Police trooper walked the jury through the hours after Lindsay Clancy arrived at South Shore Hospital today, and it sounded less like a hospital admission and more like a custody transfer. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, is on trial for the January 24, 2023 deaths of her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is running an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Trooper Dan Lawlor testified he served an evidence preservation order at the hospital and personally collected Clancy's clothing and jewelry, along with additional evidence. On cross, he confirmed she arrived without shoes. Then came the line that reframes the whole scene: Lawlor said he was stationed there to "maintain custody" of Clancy, which meant no visitors — not her lawyer, not anyone — until a court order allowed a psychiatrist in to see her. A hospital room, sealed off by court order. Sit with that for a second.Prosecutors maintain Clancy understood what she was doing regardless of her mental state. Clancy allegedly attempted suicide after the killings by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her 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.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There is a pretrial hearing coming in the Alex Murdaugh retrial, and a stack of new filings landed in front of Judge Debra McCaslin ahead of it. Tony Brueski works through the listener mail with Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program.Not every motion matters equally, and separating the two is most of the work here. Pretrial practice in a case this size runs for months. A hearing can end with nothing settled and still tell you where a judge is leaning.The filing with real reach is the one seeking to put Murdaugh's own sworn words in front of the second jury. He chose to take the stand in 2023. Nobody compelled him. If those words come in, his lawyers are building a defense around explaining them, whether or not he ever testifies again.The rest tighten the edges. Two of them close doors the state already closed once, one asks for another look at the digital material, and one blocks a defense testing request.Judge McCaslin has told the attorneys she knows nothing about the first trial and expects them to be thorough when they explain it. She tentatively set the retrial for April 5, 2027.The South Carolina Supreme Court threw out Murdaugh's convictions over what the clerk of court told jurors. He is presumed innocent at the retrial and has denied the killings throughout. He stays behind bars either way, serving concurrent state and federal financial crime sentences of twenty-seven and forty years.Robin Dreeke takes the mailbag on what is procedural, what is decisive, and how to tell the two apart before April.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Both of the psychiatrists the prosecution has called in the Lindsay Clancy trial are also named defendants in the medical malpractice litigation over her care. Tony Brueski takes listener questions to Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program.That is an unusual position for a witness. Each is testifying that she saw no signs of psychosis, while separately defending a civil claim that she missed exactly that condition.Dr. Jennifer Tufts told the court directly that she does not believe she was negligent. Under cross-examination she was asked about her experience level. She had completed her psychiatric residency in July 2022 and joined a private practice the month before Clancy became her patient.Dr. Alia Goodheart, questioned about her own background, said she does not think she has treated a patient with postpartum psychosis. She described Clancy as future-oriented, invested in her children, and a caring mother.Both suits, one filed by Lindsay and one by Patrick, name providers involved in her treatment. Those providers deny negligence, dispute what Clancy reported to them, and have moved to dismiss.The question this segment keeps returning to is a real one. A jury weighing whether a condition existed is hearing that answer from people with a stake in the answer, and juries are not always told what that stake is.The charges are three counts of first-degree murder. Clancy pleaded not guilty. She is presumed innocent. Prosecutors argue her providers bear no blame for what happened.Robin Dreeke handles the mailbag on credibility, incentive and what a jury does with any of it. 988 is there if you need 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?

True Crime Today digs into the Lindsay Clancy civil lawsuit and the reason her ex-husband is suing her providers instead of her. According to the complaint filed in Norfolk Superior Court, the people treating Lindsay's postpartum mental illness misprescribed a bevy of powerful medications and stacked new drugs onto old ones without any connecting plan. The civil filings count nine psychiatric medications in her final months, eight of them inside a single three-week stretch, while her criminal defense team counts 13. The suits say Lindsay repeatedly told her providers the medications were causing her worsening symptoms. She went to emergency rooms, called crisis lines, and admitted herself to hospitals. The basic lab work that would have shown how her body was processing the drugs was never done, the filings claim. Lindsay's own separate malpractice suit goes further, naming 11 defendants including McLean Hospital and Women & Infants Hospital. It describes a program staffed by a skeleton crew over a holiday, and it discloses a bipolar diagnosis made after the killings by a Columbia University psychiatrist. Tony breaks down both filings, the difference between what a civil jury and a criminal jury must find, and the collision coming when one verdict arrives before the other. The providers' employers have responded with statements, not specifics, and nothing in either lawsuit has been proven. Lindsay Clancy is presumed innocent in her criminal case, where prosecutors allege the killings were planned and her illness has been overstated. The reason Patrick Clancy went to civil court is written across every page of his complaint, and it points at the same system his ex-wife's defense is blaming at trial. Read the trial through the lawsuit and the whole picture sharpens.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
