Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland —talk about the retrial of murder suspect Michael Colucci, who is accused of strangling his wife Sara-Lynn Moore Colucci 10 years ago in Summerville, South Carolina, and how the age and health of his high-profile (and high-cost) attorney contributed to the constant trial delays.  Is this yet another trick of the defense attorney trade in South Carolina? Leveraging an attorney's health in court to benefit defendants … and further hurt victims?  Also on the show it's been four years since Alex Murdaugh murdered his wife and son … and why phrasing it that way matters.  Plus churchy business bro “Pastor” JP Miller marries his alleged longtime mistress Suzie Skinner in a highly public (but still dumpy) beach ceremony. There's a lot to say there. ☕ Cups Up!  ⚖️ Episode References “Colleton County man goes to trial, accused of setting wife on fire, killing her” - Live5, Nov 4, 2024

Alex Murdaugh's Last Hope: Why Court Clerk's Arrest Could Mean Retrial The Alex Murdaugh murder trial took a stunning turn when court clerk Becky Hill was arrested on four felony charges in May 2025, potentially opening the door for one of the most controversial retrials in American legal history. This explosive development has rocked the true crime community and raised serious questions about judicial integrity in high-profile cases. Becky Hill, who served as Colleton County Clerk of Court during Murdaugh's 2023 double murder trial, now faces perjury, obstruction of justice, and misconduct charges that directly contradict her sworn testimony from a 2024 hearing. The charges allege Hill lied under oath about sharing sealed crime scene evidence, improperly influenced jurors during deliberations, and used her official position to promote her bestselling book "Behind the Doors of Justice: The Murdaugh Murders." The implications are staggering. Multiple jurors testified that Hill made inappropriate comments during the trial, suggesting they should "watch Murdaugh's body language" and not be "fooled by his testimony." One juror stated Hill's remarks made her feel like Murdaugh was "already guilty" before deliberations began. While eleven jurors claimed they weren't influenced by these comments, Hill's perjury charge has undermined the credibility of the entire 2024 hearing that initially denied Murdaugh's retrial motion. Legal experts estimate Murdaugh's chances of securing a new trial have jumped from virtually zero to 25-35 percent following Hill's arrest. The case now hinges on competing legal standards for jury tampering - South Carolina's restrictive State v. Green standard versus the federal Remmer standard that presumes prejudice from any improper jury contact by court officials. This case exposes the dangerous intersection of celebrity culture and judicial proceedings, where court clerks can become overnight celebrities through book deals and media appearances. Hill allegedly monetized her proximity to the "trial of the century" while compromising the fundamental fairness that our justice system demands. Even if Murdaugh wins a new murder trial, he remains imprisoned for life on separate financial crime convictions totaling 67 years. But the broader implications extend far beyond one disgraced attorney's fate - this scandal has revealed systemic vulnerabilities in how high-profile trials are managed and the corrupting influence of true crime entertainment culture on judicial proceedings. #AlexMurdaugh #BeckyHill #TrueCrime #MurdaughTrial #CourtClerkScandal #JuryTampering #LegalScandal #SouthCarolina #MurdaughMurders #JudicialCorruption Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Alex Murdaugh was sunk by a totality of the evidence against him, but some of the most damning evidence that was presented was the digital evidence that was collected by the investigators and then rebuilt into a timeline showing exactly where Murdaugh was during the time of the murder. When added with the other evidence, such as the video where his voice was heard in the background, it led to a conviction. In Idaho there is a very similar thing taking place behind the scenes as the investigators there have filed over sixty digital warrants already and more expected to come. When you look at the evidence that they had against Alex Murdaugh and you compare it with the evidence collected against Bryan Kohberger, there are many similarities with how the investigations have unfolded.In this episode we take a look at those investigations and see where they are similar and what that might mean for Bryan Kohberger at his trial.

Becky Hill Arrested: What It Means for Alex Murdaugh's Murder Conviction Becky Hill, the former Colleton County Clerk of Court who oversaw the infamous double-murder trial of Alex Murdaugh, is now at the center of a legal storm herself. In this deep dive, we break down the new criminal charges against Hill—perjury, obstruction of justice, and two counts of misconduct in office—and what these allegations mean for the future of the Murdaugh case. Hill is accused of lying under oath during a retrial hearing, leaking sealed evidence during the original trial, and exploiting her position for financial gain through book sales and public funds. Alex Murdaugh's legal team has long argued that Hill's actions tainted the trial's outcome, particularly with claims that she pressured jurors to reach a guilty verdict and told them not to be “fooled” by Murdaugh's testimony. Though Judge Jean Toal previously denied a retrial, citing a lack of proven prejudice among the jurors, Hill's recent indictment could cast serious doubt on the fairness of the process. Could her perjury charge open the door for a new trial? Or will South Carolina's higher courts side with the state's original ruling? We explore the legal thresholds for retrials due to official misconduct, analyze juror testimony, and compare the case to historical precedents where court insiders tipped the scales of justice. If you want the full story on how a court official's alleged misconduct could upend one of America's most high-profile murder convictions, this is the video you need to watch. #MurdaughTrial #BeckyHill #AlexMurdaugh #CourtClerkScandal #TrueCrime #LegalAnalysis #PerjuryCase #MurdaughRetrial #JuryTampering #BehindTheVerdict Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland unpack the continued fallout from the Alex Murdaugh trial, and the four new felony charges for former Clerk of Court, Becky Hill. They dissect the charges against Hill, clarifying that she faces misconduct, obstruction and perjury allegations... but not for jury tampering, despite Team Murdaugh's narrative. The hosts reveal how Hill seemed to embrace the attention, and how 'Backstage' Becky's actions, like charging high fees and allegedly showing sealed photos of victims' bodies to media at a party, raised all sorts of alarms. Did the Murdaugh defense team see Hill as an "easy target" to base an appeal on and what was the role of attorney Joe McCulloch, present throughout the trial for... a screenplay? And what was the complicity of media members who viewed sealed evidence... Will there be consequences? We hope so.  Despite these issues, we strongly believe Alex Murdaugh received a fair trial, and question the credibility of anyone alleging that jury tampering occurred.  Plus, we address the P. Diddy federal sex trafficking trial and why transparency matters.  ☕ Cups Up!  ⚖️ Episode References“Murdaugh clerk of court Becky Hill facing perjury, misconduct charges” - CourtTV, May 14, 2025 

Becky Hill, the former Colleton County clerk of court, was arrested and charged with obstructing justice and misconduct in Colleton County and perjury in Richland County. The perjury charge stems from her testimony in a January 2024 hearing into whether Alex Murdaugh would get a new trial based on Hill's alleged jury tampering. Justice Toal ruled that Murdaugh should not get a new trial. Murdaugh's defense team has appealed that decision to the SC State Supreme Court.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — and the whole LUNASHARK team — are celebrating 100 episodes of True Sunlight Podcast, the show that emerged from their relentless pursuit of justice in the highly acclaimed Murdaugh Murders Podcast (which, of course, is the basis for the star-studded Hulu scripted series currently filming in Atlanta).  What better way to celebrate two years of post-Murdaugh reporting than with an old throwback … breaking Murdaugh news on a Wednesday! Former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill was arrested and charged with four felony counts — two misconduct in office charges, an obstruction of justice charge and perjury.  Though three of the charges are related to Alex Murdaugh's murder trial they are NOT related to Dick and Jim's claims of jury-tampering. Two of the charges are specifically related to photos of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh's dead bodies, which were allegedly leaked to a "news" agency during the trial and later distributed to random people following the Murdaugh case. Hmmm... But will these charges affect Alex's chances at getting a new trial?  Also on the show, an update in the (18:49) Jane Doe lawsuits against Myrtle Beach “pastor” John-Paul Miller.  Plus, our continuing coverage of (34:17) the Weldon Boyd Calls. From the second North Myrtle Beach businessman opened his truck door after shooting 33-year-old Scott Spivey of Tabor City, North Carolina, to death in September 2023, Boyd began his search for the perfect narrative — one that would explain his presence on Camp Swamp Road and fit the definition of the Stand Your Ground law; that would explain why Scott was shot to death in the back and in his truck; one that integrated the emerging bits of information Weldon appeared to be getting from the shadows of the so-called investigation by Horry County Police Department.  Lots to cover, so let's dive in...

The former court clerk who announced the guilty verdicts for infamous double murderer Alex Murdaugh is now facing serious felony charges.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Becky Hill, the former Colleton County Clerk of Court in Alex Murdaugh's double murder trial, has been charged with four felonies.

Teen Couple Allegedly Ambushes and Kills Young Father During ‘Date' Setup, Police Say An Indiana father's date turned into a deadly ambush when two teenagers allegedly conspired to rob and murder him, authorities say. The victim, 25-year-old Jarrell Pryor, was shot and killed after midnight on Jan. 25 while meeting 19-year-old Alexis Hawkins, who investigators claim lured him into the trap. According to an arrest affidavit, Hawkins was allegedly messaging her boyfriend, 18-year-old Brian Winston Jr., on Instagram at the same time she was arranging a date with Pryor. After meeting with Pryor, Hawkins reportedly kept Winston informed, and Winston is accused of fatally shooting Pryor while he sat in his car, leaving the young father dead at the scene. Police determined Pryor and Hawkins were on a date based on Instagram messages between the two. However, officials say that Hawkins sent additional messages on the same platform to coordinate the robbery, which ended in Pryor's murder. A subsequent search of Hawkins' Instagram account revealed she also conducted multiple online searches related to local news and shootings near Keystone shortly after the incident. Investigators say Hawkins sent out messages to several people seeking a ride from a location near the shooting around the time it occurred. When police interviewed her on Feb. 6, she reportedly claimed to have no memory of the night Pryor was killed, emphasizing that no weapon could be linked to her. Officers further questioned Hawkins about a message in which she allegedly mentioned making a “play,” and she reportedly ended the interview and asked for a lawyer. She was arrested in February on charges of murder and robbery resulting in serious bodily injury; she is due back in court on May 19. Winston, who faces charges including murder, felony murder, and robbery resulting in serious bodily injury, appeared in court on April 15 and is also set for a May 19 hearing. Both he and Hawkins remain in the Marion County Jail without bond. Family and friends of Pryor recall him as a dedicated father to his young daughter, Honey, noting that he avoided trouble before his life was cut short on the night of the alleged ambush.    Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

For years, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have wondered how the conversations go when Good Ole Boy police officers try to help keep their friends out of trouble. And for years, the Good Ole Boys have told them that there's nothing to see here. That these conversations never take place and if you think they do then that's your misinterpretation of it. But then a North Carolina woman named Jennifer Spivey Foley hired attorney Mark Tinsley in the pursuit of a justice she KNEW her brother, Scott Spivey, was robbed of after he was killed on a rural side road in Horry County, South Carolina — the same county that would turn its back on Mica Francis less than four months later.  Is this another Alex Murdaugh-style scandal in the making? Why did powerful figures risk their careers for Weldon Boyd, a businessman not even originally from Horry County? Tune in to this explosive episode and demand accountability! The truth is coming to light, one phone call at a time… Let's dive in...

Psychotherapist Breaks Down The Many Inconsistent And Unhealthy Behaviors Of Karen Read Could Karen Read be using the narcissist's playbook to manipulate public opinion in her alleged role in the death of John O'Keefe? What begins as a look into a toxic relationship quickly unravels into a psychological maze of contradictions, conspiracy, and chaos. Tony Brueski teams up with psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott to dissect the alleged behavioral patterns that mirror classic narcissistic and borderline personality traits—gaslighting, flying monkeys, and shifting stories included. From Karen's changing public narrative and contradictory interviews to the supporters who've seemingly abandoned their own lives to champion her cause, nothing is off-limits. Scott offers a psychological lens on how traits from Cluster B disorders may explain Karen's erratic statements and emotional responses—without jumping to diagnoses or conclusions. As the conversation digs deeper, the bizarre cult-like fervor of Karen's defenders is put under the microscope: who are these people, and how did a murder case become a full-blown social crusade? Is this just another tale of cognitive dissonance gone wild, or something much more dangerous? #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrimeToday #NarcissismExplained #ClusterB #FlyingMonkeys #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Florida Man Allegedly Kills Woman During Date at Resort, Conceals Body in Water Heater Closet, Authorities Say A Florida man has been charged with murder after allegedly killing a woman during a meeting at a resort hotel in the Florida Keys and attempting to conceal the crime. Dylan Lamb, 33, was arrested in connection with the death of 43-year-old Nadyne Marie Tillman, whose body was discovered in a closet at the Amoray Dive Resort in Key Largo on Monday. According to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to a missing persons report at the resort and found Tillman's body hidden under a water heater. She had been brutally beaten to death. Lamb, who had been on probation for a previous grand theft conviction, allegedly met Tillman through a sex solicitation website. Investigators learned from Tillman's friend that she had texted about meeting a man at the resort on Saturday morning but was never heard from again after saying “I'm in” when Lamb opened the door. A resort employee confirmed Lamb rented the room through Expedia and provided his mother's phone number. He had checked into the room Friday night but refused to switch rooms when hotel staff attempted to relocate him. Lamb vacated the room on Sunday, leaving behind three large trash bags filled with soiled towels and linens, which were later described as heavily stained with blood, urine, and feces. Unfortunately, hotel staff disposed of the bags without alerting authorities, and the dumpster containing them is now gone. Tillman's family grew concerned after she failed to respond to messages, leading her daughter to trace her car to the resort. Police were alerted, and the body was discovered shortly after. Lamb's parole officer confirmed he had met with him the day before the discovery. Detectives arrested Lamb at his job as a kayak instructor. During questioning, Lamb admitted to paying Tillman $200 for sex but claimed she tried to leave without fulfilling her end of the agreement. Lamb alleged that he blocked the door to stop her, and she began hitting him. He said he only hit her once in the face, causing her to fall, hit her head, and lose consciousness. Lamb then claimed he went to the bathroom to calm down and returned to find her not breathing. He said he panicked, tried to clean up the scene, and hid her body in the water heater closet. Lamb also disposed of Tillman's cellphone and the soiled linens. However, investigators found that Tillman's injuries were inconsistent with Lamb's account, revealing multiple facial injuries, including two black eyes and a busted lip. In addition to murder, Lamb faces charges of kidnapping, destruction of evidence, and procuring a prostitute. He remains in Monroe County Jail without bond as the investigation continues.

What Caused Karen Read's RAGE Towards John O'Keefe, Psychotherapist Explains What kind of person burns their life down to support someone they've never met—especially someone accused of murder? Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dig into the psychology behind the super fans of alleged killer Karen Read, questioning what drives ordinary people to lose their grip on reality in the name of "justice." From people flying across countries and going bankrupt just to protest outside courtrooms, to disturbing voicemails and bizarre courtroom behavior, this episode dives headfirst into what might be going on in the minds of Read's supporters—and Read herself. Is it narcissism? Projection? Insecurity? Why does someone accuse their partner of cheating with the same breath they use to try seducing his friends? As Brueski and Scott dissect her emotional tirades, courtroom smirks, and lack of empathy—especially towards the children of the man she's accused of killing—it raises a chilling question: what kind of person identifies with this behavior, and why are they so eager to defend it? What does it say about us when red flags look like rally cries? #KarenRead #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #ShavaunScott #PsychologyOfCrime #TrueCrimeToday Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Karen Read's Words Will Come Back To Haunt Her In New Trial, Attorney Bob Motta Explains How What happens when your own words might be the thing that buries you in court? As the sequel to Karen Read's trial heats up, Defense Attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to dive into the mess of interviews, inconsistent statements, and a tsunami of alleged lack-of-empathy moments that could shift the jury's mood from curious to convicted. We're talking about a case where the evidence might not scream “murder,” but the personality on display just might whisper it over cocktails. Karen's public commentary is set to become courtroom content, and while it doesn't prove she allegedly killed John O'Keefe, it definitely doesn't win her any popularity contests. The problem? Her own narrative shapeshifts more than a soap opera plotline. One moment she dropped him off, the next he walked into the house, or maybe he didn't. Karen's version of events bends to fit the vibe of the day, and the court might not be feeling flexible. As her defense team braces for an onslaught of interview clips, the bigger question looms: Will she be forced to testify just to clean up her own mess? Is this really a murder case—or a masterclass in how to self-destruct in public? #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrimePodcast #DefenseDiaries #HiddenKillers #CourtroomDrama #TrialTwist Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland cover a lot of ground in this latest episode, starting with the death of Pope Francis, a religious leader who routinely called for justice and spoke out against hypocrisy. What will the future of the church look like now?  Also on the show, Alex Murdaugh's co-conspirator Russell Laffitte appeared in court last week to finally admit his guilt. Is this the end of the road for the federal cases in the Murdaugh saga, or will there be more charges filed against yet-unknown players?  Plus, three years after Eric Bland and First Circuit Solicitor David Pascoe filed complaints with the South Carolina Judicial Conduct Committee against Judge Carmen Mullen, they finally have an answer from the mysterious and secretive committee: There's nothing to see here. In other words, Judge Mullen will not face any disciplinary action for her role in Alex Murdaugh's theft from the Satterfields. And the CoJ team is fired up about it!  Finally, Mandy, Liz and Eric talk about the disturbing details that are emerging from the Scott Spivey case in Horry County — specifically the calls that one of Scott's shooters made in the aftermath of Scott's killing. This case is about to blow the lid off corruption inside Horry County Police Department, SLED and the South Carolina Attorney General's Office. ⚖️ Cups Up!! ☕ Episode Resources “This is hypocrisy.” - Pope Francis

Dog Bites & Vehicle Strike, Are EITHER True In The Trial Of Karen Read? Bob Motta Discusses Could a dog really be the key to cracking the mystery of John O'Keefe's death? Tony Brueski and Defense Attorney Bob Motta take a deep dive into the bizarre injury patterns found on John's arms and what may have caused them—plastic shards from a shattered tail light? A misstep in the snow? Or maybe even the family dog? From plows hurling debris like confetti at a murder scene to coyotes allegedly dragging bodies around like chew toys, this episode doesn't hold back on wild (yet strangely plausible) theories. The guys also question why an expert would confidently call scratches "bite marks" without even comparing them to the dog's actual teeth. Let's just say, when a defense attorney is citing backyard sticks, slippery snow, and a little too much booze as more believable than the prosecution's case… you know it's going to be a ride. Is the real culprit a car, a coyote, or just a tragic accident wrapped in poor judgment? #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrimePodcast #DefenseDiaries #HiddenKillers #CrimeSceneTheories #DogDidIt?

Psychotherapist Breaks Down WHY Karen Read Has Been Able To Change Her Story So Many Times How many red flags does it take before we stop calling it a parade? Karen Read's alleged involvement in the death of John O'Keefe has all the markings of a psychological thriller—complete with shifting narratives, emotionally charged text messages, and an army of supporters ready to go to battle on her behalf. Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to unpack the alleged narcissistic behaviors on display, from gaslighting to full-blown flying monkey recruitment. Is Karen really playing from the narcissist's playbook, or is this just what chaos looks like when mixed with grief, alcohol, and a wildly public case? The inconsistencies in her story, the borderline-style emotional flare-ups, and the cult-like devotion of strangers waving signs in her name—none of it adds up neatly. But it does make one hell of a case study.

What Surprises Could Be In Store At Karen Read's Re-Trial, Attorney Eric Faddis Gives The Preview What happens when a murder trial starts to look more like a Netflix drama than a courtroom proceeding? Welcome to the Karen Read case—where dogs are suspects, mystery men emerge from the shadows, and legal arguments sound like rejected Law & Order scripts. With former prosecutor Eric Faddis at the table, Tony Brueski dives into the latest twists of the alleged hit-and-run retrial. The judge is letting the defense point fingers at Brian Albert and Brian Higgins again, but only after a dramatic narrowing of who they can actually blame. The infamous third-party theory still lives, even if it's being propped up by little more than a shadowy “guy in the night” and a dog named Chloe with questionable bite marks. Is this a strategic push to confuse the jury just enough to squeeze out another mistrial? Or is the defense throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something sticks? Either way, it's not just a trial—it's a full-blown credibility war. Why does this case feel less like justice and more like improv night at a true crime convention? #KarenRead #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #EricFaddis #CourtroomDrama #MurderMystery Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Dog Bites & Vehicle Strike, Are EITHER True In The Trial Of Karen Read? Bob Motta Discusses Could a dog really be the key to cracking the mystery of John O'Keefe's death? Tony Brueski and Defense Attorney Bob Motta take a deep dive into the bizarre injury patterns found on John's arms and what may have caused them—plastic shards from a shattered tail light? A misstep in the snow? Or maybe even the family dog? From plows hurling debris like confetti at a murder scene to coyotes allegedly dragging bodies around like chew toys, this episode doesn't hold back on wild (yet strangely plausible) theories. The guys also question why an expert would confidently call scratches "bite marks" without even comparing them to the dog's actual teeth. Let's just say, when a defense attorney is citing backyard sticks, slippery snow, and a little too much booze as more believable than the prosecution's case… you know it's going to be a ride. Is the real culprit a car, a coyote, or just a tragic accident wrapped in poor judgment? #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrimePodcast #DefenseDiaries #HiddenKillers #CrimeSceneTheories #DogDidIt?

Colorado Man Impersonated Wife's Ex to Stalk and Murder Her During Divorce Process, Authorities Say A Colorado man is facing trial after allegedly stalking and ultimately murdering his wife during their divorce proceedings, authorities revealed. Daniel Krug, 44, is accused of posing as his wife's ex-boyfriend and sending her threatening texts for months before fatally beating and stabbing her in December 2023. Kristil Krug, 43, was found in the garage of her home on December 14, 2023, with signs of a brutal attack. Prosecutors presented evidence in court, including a digital trail of messages that linked Daniel Krug to the crime. The texts, sent from an account posing as Kristil's ex-boyfriend, caused the victim to fear she was being stalked. Kristil had reported the harassment to authorities in October 2023, stating that the sender knew intimate details of her life, including where she and her husband worked, and had sent creepy photos of her car and her husband. Kristil had been planning to divorce Daniel, accusing him of being “sometimes rough with the kids,” and had confided in her mother about her plans to leave him. The texts escalated to disturbing messages, including one that read, “I'll get rid of him and then we can be together.” Investigators eventually traced the messages to Daniel Krug after linking the IP address to his workplace and discovering that he had purchased a burner phone with a gift card registered to his name. Furthermore, security cameras at the couple's home were tampered with—lenses covered with tape and a Ring camera turned off—leading police to question Daniel's role in the crime. Two days after Kristil's body was discovered, Daniel Krug was arrested on charges of first-degree murder, stalking, and criminal impersonation. Police also ruled out her ex-boyfriend as a suspect after finding him in Utah at the time of the murder. During the investigation, Daniel reportedly called the police to perform a welfare check on Kristil, claiming she hadn't responded to his messages. However, evidence suggested that he had been sending texts from her phone after her death, further implicating him in the crime. In his defense, Daniel's attorney questioned the investigation, claiming flaws in the handling of evidence, including the failure to test Kristil's phone for fingerprints. However, prosecutors argued that Daniel attempted to deflect blame onto the ex-boyfriend, despite his proven alibi. Daniel Krug's trial is expected to continue until April 18.

'I've Never Seen Anything Like This, Richard Allen Is Innocent' Ret FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief On Delphi Murder 'Confessions' In what may be the most powerful statement yet in the Delphi murders case, retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to declare: “Richard Allen is innocent.” With exclusive insight and expert analysis, Dreeke examines the deeply troubling jailhouse “confessions” made by Allen — confessions riddled with confusion, contradictions, and clear signs of psychotic break and mental collapse. This episode pulls no punches. Dreeke dismantles the prosecution's reliance on Allen's recorded calls, exploring how extreme isolation, overmedication, and psychological pressure can lead to false confessions. He explains why Allen's statements — including claims he killed people who never existed — should never be considered credible evidence in any trial. As the public scrambles to understand what's happening behind closed doors in Delphi, Dreeke brings clarity from decades of experience inside the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Program. If you're following the Delphi case, researching Richard Allen, or questioning the criminal justice system's treatment of the mentally ill, this is essential listening. Uncover the truth behind the viral headlines — and find out why one of the FBI's top minds says we may be witnessing a tragic miscarriage of justice in real time.

Will Lori's Vallow Daybell's Choice To Rest Her Own Defense Result In A New Conviction, Attorney Eric Faddis Talks What kind of defendant stares down a murder trial and simply says, “Nah, I'm good”? Lori Vallow Daybell, in true Lori fashion, closed her defense with a theatrical nothing. No witnesses, no argument, no Nephi-fueled sermon from the stand—just a mic drop and a courtroom scratching their heads. Was it confidence? Delusion? Or just someone finally too tired to spin the celestial wheel one more time? Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to unravel Lori's courtroom curveball, dig into what the prosecution didn't quite prove, and question whether her silence was strategy or surrender. Between coded religious lingo, the ghost of Charles Vallow, and the judge playing a game of legal training wheels, this episode peels back the chaos behind the calm. Could this bizarre courtroom silence actually give her a shot at walking free? #LoriVallowDaybell #TrueCrimePodcast #CourtroomDrama #NephiDefense #MurderTrial #EricFaddis #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this captivating episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we're breaking down the latest developments in the Bryan Kohberger case, exploring critical pretrial decisions that will shape the murder trial ahead. From Amazon purchase histories and emotional 911 call recordings to testimony from surviving roommates and even peculiar details like bushy eyebrows, the court's recent evidentiary rulings are setting crucial boundaries. Former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis joins us to dissect exactly how these decisions could influence the outcome and explains why the admissibility of each piece of evidence could be pivotal. Diving deeper, Tony and Eric unpack why the defense is aggressively challenging specific terms and evidence. What's behind the courtroom battle over using words like "murder," "psychopath," and "sociopath"? Eric reveals the strategy behind excluding emotionally charged language and discusses the legal rationale for allowing the jury to hear the chilling 911 call from surviving roommates under the "excited utterance" hearsay exception. We also discuss the significance of touch DNA found on the knife sheath, a pivotal yet controversial piece of evidence the defense desperately seeks to minimize. Finally, we explore Kohberger's shaky alibi—stargazing on a cloudy night—and what it means for his defense. Will Kohberger himself have to testify to establish this alibi, potentially opening a Pandora's box of risk for the defense? Tony and Eric weigh the pros and cons of Kohberger taking the stand and discuss whether the defense's strategies so far have done enough to create reasonable doubt. Don't miss this detailed analysis of how pretrial rulings could determine the trajectory of one of the year's most closely watched death penalty cases. Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

How & Why Did Karen Read Think John O'Keefe 'Wasn't Mortally Wounded' When She Drove Away? What really happened that night—was it a tragic accident or something far more calculated? Karen Read's shifting stories and foggy memories make it hard to pin down the truth. One minute she's unsure if she even hit him, the next she's got vivid recollections involving loud U2 music and emotional play-by-plays. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to dig into the inconsistencies and psychological clues that may reveal what's really going on in her mind. We're talking memory blackouts, the bizarre Dateline clip, and whether someone can genuinely convince themselves of a false reality. And what's the deal with her relationship with John O'Keefe? Why do empathetic people seem to end up with partners who bulldoze holidays and flip out over innocent conversations? Throw in booze, alleged toxic dynamics, and potential narcissistic traits (we're not diagnosing, just observing), and you've got a tangled mess that keeps getting weirder. Is Karen a victim of her own mind—or does she know more than she lets on? What other memories might surface—and will any of them actually lead to the truth? #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #FalseMemories #ToxicRelationships #DatelineMystery Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Is ANYONE A Reliable Witness In The Karen Read Trial? Defense Attorney Bob Motta Weighs In Did John O'Keefe really die from being hit by a car—or is that just the easiest story to sell? Tony Brueski and Defense Attorney Bob Motta aren't holding back in this deep dive into the latest twists in the Karen Read case. With damning new evidence and a defense strategy that's walking a tightrope over a pit of conflicting statements, the big question is: will Karen Read take the stand to tell her side—or will silence speak louder? The episode dissects the fragile timeline, inconsistent witness accounts, and the defense's risky third-party blame game. Motta unpacks why the science—like the injuries to John O'Keefe and the damage (or lack thereof) to Read's SUV—might be the only reliable witness left. Everyone was drunk. No one remembers. And the truth may have been lost in that blizzard of booze and bad decisions. Could the defense's own narrative open the door to more incriminating testimony? And what happens if the only person who claims John walked into that house never says it under oath? #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #DefenseDiaries #ReasonableDoubt #CrimeSceneMystery Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Lori Vallow Daybell's Brother Throws Her Under The Bus, Backs Up And Runs Her Over AGAIN In a dramatic turn during the Lori Vallow Daybell trial, Alex Cox — Lori's own brother — becomes the unintentional star witness from beyond the grave. In this gripping episode, Tony Brueski is joined by retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke to unpack the explosive testimony, recordings, and courtroom strategies that show Lori's inner circle is rapidly unraveling — and turning against her. As the prosecution lays out its case of conspiracy to murder Charles Vallow, it's clear that Lori's bizarre courtroom behavior and cross-examination tactics aren't helping her defense. But it's her brother's past statements and involvement that are painting a far more damaging picture — one that prosecutors say ties Lori directly to the motive, means, and manipulation behind the crime. Dreeke brings his expertise to examine how narcissism, spiritual delusions, and familial loyalty collide in a courtroom charged with emotion and tension. This is a must-listen for anyone following the Lori Vallow Daybell case, true crime legal strategy, or the psychology behind family conspiracies and cult-like belief systems. Don't miss this breakdown of the moment Lori's defense may have completely collapsed — and it was her own brother who delivered the blow. Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

It's been a week filled with breaking news and, as usual, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are on it, starting with the arrest of Grant Solomon's mother. Grant was 18 years old when he was killed outside of Nashville under mysterious circumstances (and with his father, former news anchor Aaron Solomon, nearby). In the years since his death, Grant's mother has fought for law enforcement to take another look at her son's case and sought for protection for her daughter, who accused Aaron of sexual abuse.  This past Friday, Angie Solomon was arrested and charged with attempting to hire a hitman to kill Aaron. Mandy and Liz break down what happened and why the accusations seem … off.  Plus, reporter Beth Braden learns that two new witnesses to Grant's death came forward last spring and what they had to say is interesting.  Also on the show, Jane Doe No. 1 stands up to Myrtle Beach Pastor John-Paul Miller's legal bullying.  Plus a shocking (overlooked?) piece of evidence in the Scott Spivey case … no really, it's wild.  Premium members get updates on Russell Laffitte's plea deal, Alex Murdaugh's latest attempts to manipulate dummies and what's up with Cory Fleming's appeal?  Let's dive in...

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland — (3:21) talk about the big reveal this past week of A-List Hollywood actor Jason Clarke in full costume as Alex Murdaugh. Clarke, who stars in the upcoming Hulu production based on the Murdaugh Murders Podcast — now True Sunlight Podcast — was seen filming in Atlanta and … let's just say he has more than just the LUNSHARK team excited for the series.  It turns out the fake Alex Murdaugh wasn't the only one getting headlines this past week. The lawyers for the real (13:35) Alex did what the lawyers for the real Alex do best and that's getting mainstream media to help them wrongly paint the state Attorney General's Office as sneaky and underhanded. As usual, it's much ado about nothing.  Also on the show, (34:08) will Buster Murdaugh's latest strategy in his federal defamation case against Warner Brothers actually work? Mandy and Liz pick Eric's brain on whether Alex's remaining son has a chance.  Plus the latest in the (49:01) Sara Lynn Colucci case and why prosecutors need to rethink their interactions with victims and their families.
