Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

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. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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.

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. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is 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?

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. 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?

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?
