Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

She's pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Assistant District Attorney Shanan Buckingham used her opening to lay out the state's core argument: this was not a woman lost to psychosis, it was a deliberate act. Prosecutors are expected to build their case around the idea that Clancy understood exactly what she was doing that day — a direct challenge to the psychiatric narrative the defense has spent months building. It's the fight this trial was always going to come down to: was this a mind that broke, or a mind that decided. Buckingham just made clear which side of that line the prosecution intends to stand on, and she's not planning to hedge.After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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