Is it possible for a predator to hide in plain sight within a community, evading law enforcement for years? This is the central question in the case against Rex Heuermann, the man accused of being the Long Island serial killer, as discussed on the "Hidden Killers" podcast with host Tony Brueski and former felony prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis. The case has garnered significant attention due to the harrowing testimonies of alleged survivors. In a recent development, two women, Taylor and Mary Poe, have come forward with chilling accounts of their encounters with Heuermann. Taylor, a bottle girl in 2010, claimed she had to use a taser to escape from Heuermann, while Poe alleged she was shot in the neck by him and miraculously survived. Brueski humorously dismisses any notion of mistaken identity, stating, "Rex Heuermann is not a guy that you really would confuse with many other people." Faddis, lending his legal perspective, emphasizes the importance of these testimonies for the prosecution. "They're going to draw parallels, they're going to show overlap, and they're going to tie all of this together in a pattern of behavior for Rex Heuermann over the course of years," he explains. The discussion also delves into the societal factors that may have allowed Heuermann to operate undetected. Faddis points out that predators like Heuermann target vulnerable communities who are averse to law enforcement, making them easy targets. He also notes Heuermann's use of resources, such as burner phones, to cover his tracks. As Brueski and Faddis unravel the complexities of the case, the question of how many other victims might be out there lingers. The podcast sheds light on the grim reality of predators exploiting societal stigmas and legal loopholes. As the case against Heuermann continues to build, one can't help but wonder: How many more stories are yet to be told, and what will it take to bring such predators to justice?   Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

 What happens when repeated tragedies strike under the same roof, raising questions of foul play and potential cover-ups? This enigma is the focus of a recent episode of "Hidden Killers," where host Tony Brueski and former felony prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis discuss the perplexing case involving firefighter Robert Daus. Daus, who has not been charged with any crime, has been linked to the deaths of two fiancées, Grace Holland in and Sarah Sweeney, both occurring in his home near St. Louis. Brueski highlights the unusual circumstances of Holland's death, particularly her use of the non-dominant hand in what was ruled a suicide. Faddis, bringing his legal expertise, points out the alarming pattern: "Either this dude is the most unlucky person in the world, or there is something fishy going on." The conversation then shifts to potential issues with the investigation, including a too-cozy relationship between the Krav Corp police department and the fire department. A suspiciously casual phone call from a detective to Daus requesting his phone, a potential key piece of evidence, is particularly concerning. Faddis notes, "To think that this thing doesn't happen would just be naive. It absolutely does happen." Faddis shares his experience as a prosecutor, recalling a case where a police sergeant was given preferential treatment in a DUI investigation, suggesting a possible parallel with Daus's situation. He expresses concern about the impact of potential investigative delays and biases on the pursuit of justice. As Brueski and Faddis delve deeper into the case, questions about the integrity of the investigation and the possibility of lost evidence emerge. "What evidence has been lost? What evidence are we never going to get again in what could be a very serious homicide investigation?" Faddis asks, underscoring the challenges in such cold cases. The Daus case, still unresolved and shrouded in mystery, leaves the public wondering: In a situation where the lines between professional camaraderie and investigative integrity blur, can justice truly be served?

What happens when key evidence in a high-profile murder case disappears? This is the central question in the latest episode of "Hidden Killers," where Tony Brueski and former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer discuss the controversial Delphi murder case. The case involves Richard Allen, accused of the 2017 killings of Abby Williams and Libby German, and presents a startling instance of mishandled evidence. Coffindaffer expressed deep concerns about the investigation's handling, calling it "problematic" and "poorly" executed. She highlighted the loss of key evidence and noted that the case's trajectory has been marred by numerous errors, raising serious doubts about its integrity. The defense team for Allen has been keen to explore alternative suspects, a standard practice in criminal defense. However, the prosecution's admission of deleted evidence has added a layer of complexity and controversy to the case. Brueski humorously likened this to a Britney Spears song, "Oops... I Did It Again," to underline the repeated mistakes in the investigation. Coffindaffer emphasized the significance of the Frank's hearing, a critical juncture where the defense could challenge the validity of the warrants and evidence. However, this opportunity was lost due to procedural issues and decisions by the court, further complicating the case. The podcast also touched upon the initial interviews with Richard Allen and the involvement of the FBI. Coffindaffer criticized the local police's delay in involving the Bureau and pointed out flaws in the interview process and evidence management. She suggested that the investigation's mishandling might stem from embarrassment over initial errors. As Brueski aptly summarized, the case seems plagued by a series of cover-ups, each attempting to mask previous mistakes. This has led to a situation where the true nature and extent of the investigation's flaws remain obscured, potentially hindering justice for the victims. In conclusion, the Delphi murder case raises an intriguing question: can justice prevail in a system where errors and ego overshadow the pursuit of truth? As Coffindaffer and Brueski explore the case's complexities, listeners are left to ponder the impact of these mistakes on the path to justice for Abby Williams and Libby German.

In a landmark decision that may very well redraw the boundaries of parental responsibility in the face of school shootings, Jennifer Crumbley has been convicted of involuntary manslaughter for her indirect role in the harrowing tragedy at Oxford High School, Michigan, in 2021, where her son Ethan Crumbley fatally shot four students. This verdict, as Tony Brueski of the "Hidden Killers" podcast points out, is poised to echo through the corridors of justice for decades, potentially setting a new precedent for parental accountability. Brueski, in a compelling conversation with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, delves into the multifaceted implications of this case. Dreeke, with his extensive experience in behavioral analysis, brings a unique perspective to the table, questioning the broader societal impacts of this verdict. "This really is a case that could set quite a bit of precedent," Brueski observed, highlighting the gravity of the situation. As the nation grapples with the aftermath of yet another school shooting, the Crumbley trial forces us to confront uncomfortable questions about the role parents play in preventing such tragedies. Dreeke, reflecting on the case, suggests that while it's crucial to hold parents like the Crumbleys accountable, the solution to preventing future incidents lies deeper within our societal fabric. "We've gotten away from community...from healthy interactions with other human beings," Dreeke lamented, emphasizing the importance of rebuilding those connections to mitigate the risk of such tragedies. The discussion between Brueski and Dreeke ventures into speculative territory, pondering whether this verdict will prompt a reevaluation of past cases where parents might have played a role in enabling their children's actions. With no statute of limitations on homicide in many jurisdictions, the door is open for potentially revisiting cases as far back as the Columbine and Parkland shootings. However, Dreeke warns that such actions could unearth trauma without necessarily providing closure or preventing future incidents. Moreover, the dialogue shifts towards the practicalities of enforcing this new precedent. Can good parenting or healthy relationships be legislated? Dreeke and Brueski wrestle with this question, acknowledging the challenges of implementing such a standard. Dreeke proposes a more holistic approach to addressing the issue, emphasizing the need for societal change that fosters healthier relationships and situational awareness to prevent these tragedies before they occur. Yet, as the conversation unfolds, it becomes clear that while the Crumbley verdict is a significant step towards holding parents accountable, it is but one piece of a much larger puzzle. The systemic issues that contribute to school shootings — from mental health support to gun access — remain daunting challenges that require comprehensive solutions beyond the courtroom. As Brueski and Dreeke conclude their discussion, the question remains: Will the Crumbley verdict indeed mark a turning point in how society addresses the complex interplay between parental responsibility, mental health, and school violence? Or will it simply become another chapter in the ongoing struggle to protect our children from the scourge of school shootings? The Crumbley case forces us to confront the uncomfortable reality that preventing such tragedies requires more than just legal accountability. It demands a collective effort to address the underlying issues that lead to school shootings. As we move forward, the dialogue sparked by this case offers a crucial opportunity to reflect on our societal values and the measures we are willing to take to ensure the safety of our children. The path ahead is fraught with challenges, but it is a journey we must undertake if we are to prevent future tragedies and build a safer, more connected society for all.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the grim tapestry of crime and justice, few cases stir as much public and psychological intrigue as the murder of Jared Bridegan. Charged with this chilling act are Shanna Gardner and Mario Saldana, Bridegan's ex-wife and her new partner, respectively. But beneath the surface of these allegations lies a web of complexity that begs the question: Is the narrative as straightforward as it appears? Tony Brueski, delving deep into this conundrum on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, is joined by psychologist John Delatorre. Together, they explore the psychological underpinnings and relational dynamics that may have contributed to this tragic outcome. The recent release of police interviews with Gardner and Saldana offers a rare glimpse into their perspectives, painting a picture of a deeply fractured family unit. The interviews suggest a contentious relationship not only between Gardner and Bridegan but also hint at broader family dynamics at play. "From all accounts...didn't necessarily seem to want to hurt each other," Brueski reflects on the affidavits. Yet, the narrative of Jared Bridegan as a difficult personality emerges, complicating the straightforward villainy often ascribed to the accused. Delatorre cautions against accepting these portrayals at face value, emphasizing the inherent biases in such accounts. "We only know that he wasn't a good guy because of what other people are saying about him," Delatorre points out, underscoring the complexity of discerning truth in high-conflict situations. The case's intricacies are further compounded by the relationship dynamics between Jared and Shanna. Their whirlwind marriage, questioned motives due to Gardner's wealth, and subsequent swift collapse suggest a pattern of impulsive relationship decisions marred by underlying mental health issues. Delatorre suggests that "there might be some ulterior motives as to why people would enter into such serious relationships," hinting at deeper psychological factors at play. Amidst these revelations, the role of an alleged hitman—who claims Gardner and Saldana hired him—adds a layer of damning evidence against them. Yet, Delatorre and Brueski speculate on the potential for other influences, drawing parallels to cases where family patriarchs or matriarchs take drastic actions to resolve perceived problems. Could there have been a vigilante within their midst, motivated by a misguided sense of justice or a desire to protect the children from a contentious custody battle? Despite these speculative avenues, the hitman's testimony remains a critical pillar of the prosecution's case. Delatorre raises a crucial point: "I have no insight into the professional ethics of a hitman, but I have to imagine that if he says that these are the people that paid him, then I would have to believe that those are the people that paid him." This assertion cuts through the speculative fog, anchoring the case in the stark reality of the accused's alleged actions. As the conversation unfolds, Brueski and Delatorre navigate the murky waters of human psychology, relational dynamics, and the sometimes inscrutable motives behind criminal acts. The case of Jared Bridegan's murder, with its blend of familial conflict, mental health considerations, and the cold calculus of hired violence, serves as a grim reminder of the complexities inherent in the human psyche. In closing, this discussion leaves us pondering the depths of human relationships and the darkness they can harbor. As the legal proceedings against Gardner and Saldana progress, the broader questions of motive, influence, and psychology linger. What drives individuals to the brink of such irreversible actions? And in the pursuit of justice, how do we navigate the intricate web of human emotions, relationships, and the shadowy recesses of the mind? As Brueski and Delatorre conclude their exploration, the case of Jared Bridegan remains a somber study of the tragic outcomes that can emerge from the confluence of high-conflict relationships, mental health issues, and the extreme measures some may take in the name of resolution or revenge.

In the heart of Delphi, Indiana, a legal battle as convoluted and mysterious as the murders it seeks to resolve continues to unfold, casting a long shadow over the quest for justice. At the center of this legal labyrinth is Richard Allen, accused of the tragic murders of two young girls, and Judge Frances Gull, whose decisions have sparked intense debate and scrutiny. As the case against Allen twists through motions and appeals, the dynamics between the judiciary and the defense raise critical questions about fairness, bias, and the integrity of the legal process. In an eye-opening episode of "Hidden Killers," Tony Brueski delves into these complexities with former Felony Prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis, shedding light on the latest legal maneuvers and their implications. The Indiana Supreme Court's decision to reinstate Allen's attorneys, Baldwin and Rozzi, has reopened old wounds and reignited tensions, particularly concerning Judge Gull's stance and actions. "Back on the Delphi merry-go-round," Brueski aptly describes the situation, as the judicial and defense sides lock horns once again. With Baldwin and Rozzi's return, the focus shifts back to Judge Gull, who remains a polarizing figure in this legal saga. Her decision to deny a Frank's hearing and several other motions without hearing arguments underscores a pattern of decisions that, to many, seem to favor the prosecution, undermining the defense's efforts to ensure a fair trial for Allen. The motion filed by Baldwin and Rozzi, requesting Judge Gull to recuse herself or be removed, stands as a testament to the defense's growing concerns over judicial impartiality. Faddis articulates the crux of the issue, highlighting the absurdity of allowing a judge to determine their own impartiality in the face of serious allegations. "It just strains the mind," Faddis remarks, pointing out the inherent flaw in a system that allows such self-assessment by a judge accused of bias. The prosecution's countermove, seeking to hold Allen's attorneys in contempt, adds another layer of conflict to an already tumultuous case, signaling a relentless battle over procedural matters that detract from the heart of the case: the pursuit of justice for the murdered girls. Despite these challenges, Faddis sees merit in the defense's motion, emphasizing the unusual and questionable nature of Judge Gull's previous decision to dismiss Baldwin and Rozzi. The ongoing legal skirmish raises doubts about the possibility of an unbiased trial under Gull's supervision, fueling speculation about her motivations and the potential impact on her career aspirations. As Brueski and Faddis explore the psychological underpinnings of the case, the conversation reveals a deeper concern: the human element in judicial decision-making. The specter of negative confirmation bias looms large, suggesting that preconceived notions and personal animosities could cloud judgment and compromise the fairness of the trial. "If you seriously do not like someone, there's nothing they can say that you'll agree with," Faddis points out, illustrating the peril of allowing personal biases to influence judicial decisions. The unfolding drama in Delphi not only captivates but also alarms, serving as a stark reminder of the fragile balance between justice and judicial discretion. As the case progresses, one question hangs in the balance: Can Richard Allen receive a fair trial in the shadow of controversy and bias? As the community and the nation watch closely, the final resolution of this case may offer profound insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the legal system. But for now, the merry-go-round of motions, appeals, and judicial decisions continues to spin, leaving observers to wonder: When will the pursuit of justice take center stage, free from the distractions of legal maneuvering and personal biases?

In the ever-evolving saga of the Long Island serial killer, new developments continue to cast a long shadow over the truth, challenging perceptions and demanding a deeper investigation into those closest to the accused, Rex Heuermann. The latest chapter unfolds as Tony Brueski, host of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, delves into the complex narrative surrounding Heuermann's wife, Asa Ellerup, and the persistent scrutiny from attorney John Ray, a vocal advocate for the victims' families. As Heuermann faces charges linking him to the heinous acts on Gilgo Beach, attention turns once again to Ellerup, whose alibis and actions—or lack thereof—have become a focal point in the court of public opinion and investigative interest. The couple's history, intertwined with the timeline of the murders, paints a picture of enigma and potential complicity that begs further examination. John Ray's persistence in highlighting discrepancies in Ellerup's whereabouts during the crimes has brought to light questions that demand answers. His "gumshoe" efforts have unearthed details that suggest the narrative presented by Ellerup and her legal representation may not be as cut-and-dry as it appears. With each new piece of evidence or contradiction revealed, the need for a thorough investigation into Ellerup's role, knowledge, or absence becomes increasingly apparent. Joining Brueski in this latest discussion is Shavaun Scott, a psychotherapist and author, whose insights into the psychological underpinnings of the case add depth to the conversation. Scott underscores the importance of scrutinizing Ellerup's claims and the mental health aspects that could play a role in her behavior and responses to the allegations against her husband. The discourse around the credibility of Ellerup's alibis—bolstered by bank statements and hotel records—raises significant questions about the standard of evidence and investigation in such a high-profile case. The reliance on financial transactions as proof of innocence in the face of a series of brutal murders seems insufficient and simplistic, prompting a call for more comprehensive investigative measures. Amid the swirling allegations and investigations, the dynamic within the Ellerup household, especially in light of a documentary crew's presence, becomes a point of speculation. Scott posits that Ellerup's behavior, marked by a lack of empathy for the victims and aggressive reactions to law enforcement's actions, may hint at underlying mental health issues. This perspective sheds light on the complexity of her character and the potential impact of such factors on the case. The public's fascination with the case, coupled with the media's attention, has placed Ellerup in a unique position. Yet, her seemingly indifferent stance toward the gravity of the situation and the absence of a proactive approach to clear her name or express solidarity with the victims' families adds layers of suspicion and intrigue. As Brueski and Scott peel back the layers of this intricate case, the conversation underscores the necessity of a deeper dive into Ellerup's involvement, knowledge, or indifference regarding her husband's alleged crimes. The call for a more detailed examination of her alibis, mental health, and overall behavior is a testament to the complexity of human psychology and the intricacies of criminal investigations. In closing, the discussion leaves listeners with a lingering question: In the shadow of unspeakable horror, what truths remain hidden within the walls of the Ellerup household, and how will the unfolding investigation bring these secrets to light? As the Long Island serial killer case continues to unfold, the search for clarity, justice, and understanding presses on, challenging investigators, commentators, and the public to look beyond the surface and confront the unsettling depths of human nature and criminality.

In the grim tableau of America's most notorious crimes, the Long Island serial killer case stands as a chilling enigma, weaving a complex narrative of murder, mystery, and unanswered questions. With Rex Heuermann now facing charges for a fourth murder, the case against him grows, yet so does the labyrinth of speculation surrounding his wife, Asa Ellerup, and the validity of her alibis. Tony Brueski, host of "Hidden Killers," alongside retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, delves into these unfolding revelations, challenging the silence and seeking truth amid the shadows. Heuermann, accused of being the malevolent force behind the Gilgo Beach murders, has seen his circle of suspicion inexorably widen. Yet, amidst the accusations and evidence, Asa Ellerup stands, a figure shrouded in controversy and conjecture. Her repeated claim of being "out of town" during the crimes her husband is accused of casts a pall of doubt and raises more questions than it answers. John Ray, an attorney for some of the victims, has been pivotal in casting this doubt, suggesting that Ellerup's timeline may not align as neatly as presented. Coffindaffer weighs in on Ray's persistence, understanding his drive to peel back the layers of this case, revealing the depth of its complexity and the potential complicity or ignorance of those closest to Heuermann. The conversation between Brueski and Coffindaffer illuminates the meticulous investigative work that has led to Heuermann's charges, yet it also highlights the glaring absence of scrutiny towards Ellerup. Despite her maintaining distance and seeking evidence in court, the lack of a thorough interrogation by authorities remains a conspicuous gap in the investigative process. This absence of scrutiny fuels speculation and demands a closer look into the dynamics of the Heuermann household during the years these heinous acts were committed. The duo discusses the implications of DNA evidence, particularly the strands of hair belonging to Ellerup and her daughter found on the victims, and the complexities it adds to the case. While not directly implicating her in the murders, this evidence thrusts her into an uncomfortable spotlight, challenging the narrative of ignorance she has maintained. As Brueski and Coffindaffer navigate the murky waters of this case, they confront the broader implications of Ellerup's alibis and the potential knowledge she might have harbored about her husband's activities. The discussion pivots to the broader societal and psychological implications of living alongside evil, questioning how much one can truly know about their partner's darkest secrets. Ellerup's situation, encapsulated by her continued legal marriage to Heuermann and her ambiguous stance on the evidence against him, epitomizes the complex web of human relationships entangled in criminal investigations. Her insistence on out-of-town alibis, backed by some evidence yet questioned by victim advocates like Ray, underscores a narrative fraught with tension and uncertainty. As the "Hidden Killers" episode unfolds, it becomes clear that the Long Island serial killer case is far from closed, with each development unearthing more questions than answers. The pursuit of justice for the victims and their families remains paramount, yet the path to such justice is cluttered with obstacles, not least of which is the enigmatic figure of Asa Ellerup. In closing, the discussion between Brueski and Coffindaffer leaves listeners pondering a critical question: In the shadow of monstrous deeds, how deep does the circle of knowledge—or complicity—extend? And as the investigation continues to unravel, will the true extent of this horror ever come to light, or will some secrets remain buried, obscured by the sands of Gilgo Beach? As the Long Island serial killer case continues to evolve, the quest for answers persists, a testament to the enduring need for closure and the relentless pursuit of truth in the face of darkness.

Coffindaffer weighs in on Ray's persistence, understanding his drive to peel back the layers of this case, revealing the depth of its complexity and the potential complicity or ignorance of those closest to Heuermann. The conversation between Brueski and Coffindaffer illuminates the meticulous investigative work that has led to Heuermann's charges, yet it also highlights the glaring absence of scrutiny towards Ellerup. Despite her maintaining distance and seeking evidence in court, the lack of a thorough interrogation by authorities remains a conspicuous gap in the investigative process. This absence of scrutiny fuels speculation and demands a closer look into the dynamics of the Heuermann household during the years these heinous acts were committed. The duo discusses the implications of DNA evidence, particularly the strands of hair belonging to Ellerup and her daughter found on the victims, and the complexities it adds to the case. While not directly implicating her in the murders, this evidence thrusts her into an uncomfortable spotlight, challenging the narrative of ignorance she has maintained. As Brueski and Coffindaffer navigate the murky waters of this case, they confront the broader implications of Ellerup's alibis and the potential knowledge she might have harbored about her husband's activities. The discussion pivots to the broader societal and psychological implications of living alongside evil, questioning how much one can truly know about their partner's darkest secrets. Ellerup's situation, encapsulated by her continued legal marriage to Heuermann and her ambiguous stance on the evidence against him, epitomizes the complex web of human relationships entangled in criminal investigations. Her insistence on out-of-town alibis, backed by some evidence yet questioned by victim advocates like Ray, underscores a narrative fraught with tension and uncertainty. As the "Hidden Killers" episode unfolds, it becomes clear that the Long Island serial killer case is far from closed, with each development unearthing more questions than answers. The pursuit of justice for the victims and their families remains paramount, yet the path to such justice is cluttered with obstacles, not least of which is the enigmatic figure of Asa Ellerup. In closing, the discussion between Brueski and Coffindaffer leaves listeners pondering a critical question: In the shadow of monstrous deeds, how deep does the circle of knowledge—or complicity—extend? And as the investigation continues to unravel, will the true extent of this horror ever come to light, or will some secrets remain buried, obscured by the sands of Gilgo Beach? As the Long Island serial killer case continues to evolve, the quest for answers persists, a testament to the enduring need for closure and the relentless pursuit of truth in the face of darkness.

In the ever-evolving saga of the Long Island serial killer, new developments continue to cast a long shadow over the truth, challenging perceptions and demanding a deeper investigation into those closest to the accused, Rex Heuermann. The latest chapter unfolds as Tony Brueski, host of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, delves into the complex narrative surrounding Heuermann's wife, Asa Ellerup, and the persistent scrutiny from attorney John Ray, a vocal advocate for the victims' families. As Heuermann faces charges linking him to the heinous acts on Gilgo Beach, attention turns once again to Ellerup, whose alibis and actions—or lack thereof—have become a focal point in the court of public opinion and investigative interest. The couple's history, intertwined with the timeline of the murders, paints a picture of enigma and potential complicity that begs further examination. John Ray's persistence in highlighting discrepancies in Ellerup's whereabouts during the crimes has brought to light questions that demand answers. His "gumshoe" efforts have unearthed details that suggest the narrative presented by Ellerup and her legal representation may not be as cut-and-dry as it appears. With each new piece of evidence or contradiction revealed, the need for a thorough investigation into Ellerup's role, knowledge, or absence becomes increasingly apparent. Joining Brueski in this latest discussion is Shavaun Scott, a psychotherapist and author, whose insights into the psychological underpinnings of the case add depth to the conversation. Scott underscores the importance of scrutinizing Ellerup's claims and the mental health aspects that could play a role in her behavior and responses to the allegations against her husband. The discourse around the credibility of Ellerup's alibis—bolstered by bank statements and hotel records—raises significant questions about the standard of evidence and investigation in such a high-profile case. The reliance on financial transactions as proof of innocence in the face of a series of brutal murders seems insufficient and simplistic, prompting a call for more comprehensive investigative measures. Amid the swirling allegations and investigations, the dynamic within the Ellerup household, especially in light of a documentary crew's presence, becomes a point of speculation. Scott posits that Ellerup's behavior, marked by a lack of empathy for the victims and aggressive reactions to law enforcement's actions, may hint at underlying mental health issues. This perspective sheds light on the complexity of her character and the potential impact of such factors on the case. The public's fascination with the case, coupled with the media's attention, has placed Ellerup in a unique position. Yet, her seemingly indifferent stance toward the gravity of the situation and the absence of a proactive approach to clear her name or express solidarity with the victims' families adds layers of suspicion and intrigue. As Brueski and Scott peel back the layers of this intricate case, the conversation underscores the necessity of a deeper dive into Ellerup's involvement, knowledge, or indifference regarding her husband's alleged crimes. The call for a more detailed examination of her alibis, mental health, and overall behavior is a testament to the complexity of human psychology and the intricacies of criminal investigations. In closing, the discussion leaves listeners with a lingering question: In the shadow of unspeakable horror, what truths remain hidden within the walls of the Ellerup household, and how will the unfolding investigation bring these secrets to light? As the Long Island serial killer case continues to unfold, the search for clarity, justice, and understanding presses on, challenging investigators, commentators, and the public to look beyond the surface and confront the unsettling depths of human nature and criminality.

In the grim tableau of America's most notorious crimes, the Long Island serial killer case stands as a chilling enigma, weaving a complex narrative of murder, mystery, and unanswered questions. With Rex Heuermann now facing charges for a fourth murder, the case against him grows, yet so does the labyrinth of speculation surrounding his wife, Asa Ellerup, and the validity of her alibis. Tony Brueski, host of "Hidden Killers," alongside retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, delves into these unfolding revelations, challenging the silence and seeking truth amid the shadows. Heuermann, accused of being the malevolent force behind the Gilgo Beach murders, has seen his circle of suspicion inexorably widen. Yet, amidst the accusations and evidence, Asa Ellerup stands, a figure shrouded in controversy and conjecture. Her repeated claim of being "out of town" during the crimes her husband is accused of casts a pall of doubt and raises more questions than it answers.

In the heart of Delphi, Indiana, a legal battle as convoluted and mysterious as the murders it seeks to resolve continues to unfold, casting a long shadow over the quest for justice. At the center of this legal labyrinth is Richard Allen, accused of the tragic murders of two young girls, and Judge Frances Gull, whose decisions have sparked intense debate and scrutiny. As the case against Allen twists through motions and appeals, the dynamics between the judiciary and the defense raise critical questions about fairness, bias, and the integrity of the legal process. In an eye-opening episode of "Hidden Killers," Tony Brueski delves into these complexities with former Felony Prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis, shedding light on the latest legal maneuvers and their implications. The Indiana Supreme Court's decision to reinstate Allen's attorneys, Baldwin and Rozzi, has reopened old wounds and reignited tensions, particularly concerning Judge Gull's stance and actions. "Back on the Delphi merry-go-round," Brueski aptly describes the situation, as the judicial and defense sides lock horns once again. With Baldwin and Rozzi's return, the focus shifts back to Judge Gull, who remains a polarizing figure in this legal saga. Her decision to deny a Frank's hearing and several other motions without hearing arguments underscores a pattern of decisions that, to many, seem to favor the prosecution, undermining the defense's efforts to ensure a fair trial for Allen. The motion filed by Baldwin and Rozzi, requesting Judge Gull to recuse herself or be removed, stands as a testament to the defense's growing concerns over judicial impartiality. Faddis articulates the crux of the issue, highlighting the absurdity of allowing a judge to determine their own impartiality in the face of serious allegations. "It just strains the mind," Faddis remarks, pointing out the inherent flaw in a system that allows such self-assessment by a judge accused of bias. The prosecution's countermove, seeking to hold Allen's attorneys in contempt, adds another layer of conflict to an already tumultuous case, signaling a relentless battle over procedural matters that detract from the heart of the case: the pursuit of justice for the murdered girls. Despite these challenges, Faddis sees merit in the defense's motion, emphasizing the unusual and questionable nature of Judge Gull's previous decision to dismiss Baldwin and Rozzi. The ongoing legal skirmish raises doubts about the possibility of an unbiased trial under Gull's supervision, fueling speculation about her motivations and the potential impact on her career aspirations. As Brueski and Faddis explore the psychological underpinnings of the case, the conversation reveals a deeper concern: the human element in judicial decision-making. The specter of negative confirmation bias looms large, suggesting that preconceived notions and personal animosities could cloud judgment and compromise the fairness of the trial. "If you seriously do not like someone, there's nothing they can say that you'll agree with," Faddis points out, illustrating the peril of allowing personal biases to influence judicial decisions. The unfolding drama in Delphi not only captivates but also alarms, serving as a stark reminder of the fragile balance between justice and judicial discretion. As the case progresses, one question hangs in the balance: Can Richard Allen receive a fair trial in the shadow of controversy and bias? As the community and the nation watch closely, the final resolution of this case may offer profound insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the legal system. But for now, the merry-go-round of motions, appeals, and judicial decisions continues to spin, leaving observers to wonder: When will the pursuit of justice take center stage, free from the distractions of legal maneuvering and personal biases?

Is the Delphi murder case steering towards a resolution, or is it encountering yet another obstacle in its tumultuous journey? This pressing question is at the heart of a recent episode of "Hidden Killers," where host Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke delve into the latest twists in the case against Richard Allen, accused of the notorious Delphi murders. The case has been a rollercoaster of legal maneuvers and contentious decisions. Judge Gull, a pivotal figure in this saga, remains in position despite earlier dismissing defense attorneys Baldwin and Rozzi, who are now reinstated. This dynamic adds a layer of complexity to an already convoluted case. The judge's recent rulings – denying the defense's motion to suppress evidence from Allen's home and regarding an unspent shell casing – are telling. They hint at the stringent approach she maintains in this high-profile case. Brueski and Dreeke raise critical questions about Judge Gull's impartiality. Dreeke observes, "If you seriously do not like someone, you despise them, there's nothing they can say that you'll agree with." This insight into human psychology and confirmation bias casts doubt on whether any judge, let alone Judge Gull, can remain unbiased in such charged circumstances. The situation is complicated by the fact that despite the defense's reinstatement, the judge's apparent prejudice towards Allen and the attorneys remains a significant concern. The duo also ponders why Judge Gull has not yet recused herself, given the potential for perceived bias. "Why stay even for her own good?" Brueski asks, noting the poor optics of her continued involvement. They speculate about her ambitions and how her role in this case might impact her career trajectory. Amidst these discussions, Dreeke points out a silver lining: the opportunity for all evidence to be thoroughly examined. "If he's truly innocent, there will be no forensic data on that evidence that says he's guilty," he states, emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive review in ensuring justice. However, the question of Judge Gull's influence looms large. How much sway does a judge hold in a jury trial? Brueski and Dreeke suggest that her presence and non-verbal cues could significantly impact jurors' perceptions and decision-making processes. They compare this to the Alex Murdaugh case, where the judge's demeanor set a tone of trust in the system – a contrast to the current scenario in the Delphi case. The conversation turns to Allen's treatment in prison, underscoring another troubling aspect of the case. The forthcoming hearing about his potential relocation highlights systemic issues in the treatment of pre-trial detainees. In conclusion, the Delphi murder case remains a complex weave of legal, psychological, and systemic challenges. As Brueski poignantly remarks, the ultimate goal is to bring resolution to the families of the victims. But with each twist and turn, one wonders: Will the pursuit of justice in this case untangle the complexities, or will it further entangle the truth in a web of legal conundrums?

In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke unpack the latest twist in the Chad and Lori Daybell saga. As the Daybell case moves ever closer to trial, John Pryor, Chad Daybell's attorney, has expressed a desire to withdraw from the case, citing non-payment and his lack of qualification for a capital murder case. This sudden development raises critical questions about the defense's preparedness and Daybell's fate in the upcoming trial.    The discussion begins with Brueski highlighting the unusual nature of Pryor's request. "You've had more than a year," Brueski notes, echoing the judge's sentiment that the timing of the request seems implausible. This sentiment is shared by Dreeke, who with a hint of irony in his voice, comments, “Chad's hosed.” The gravity of the situation is not lost on either speaker, as they delve into the implications of an attorney abandoning his client at such a critical juncture.    Dreeke, with his background in behavioral analysis, points out the oddity of Pryor's move, given that the nature of Daybell's case and his financial instability were apparent from the start. "The attorney was completely witting of the sound," Dreeke says, implying that Pryor's reasons for withdrawal might be more complex than they appear.    The conversation then shifts to the potential motivations behind Pryor's decision. Brueski speculates about the lack of alternative legal representation for Daybell, wondering if the case's "bottom of the barrel" nature and Daybell's bizarre belief system are deterring other attorneys. Dreeke agrees, suggesting that the “magical thinking” and cult-like elements surrounding Daybell make the case unappealing and challenging for legal professionals.    Dreeke and Brueski delve deeper into the dynamics of the Daybell case, contrasting it with other high-profile cases where defendants, despite heinous charges, find representation. They ponder whether Daybell's entrenched and delusional beliefs, which came to the fore during Lori's trial, are a deterrent for potential legal counsel. “It's so magical thinking that even if you want to try and get this person off, you do require some form of cooperation on the part of your client,” Brueski observes.    The podcast also addresses the broader implications of Pryor's withdrawal, including how it might affect Daybell's potential grounds for appeal. They discuss the challenge of adequately representing someone with such deeply ingrained, irrational beliefs and whether this could be a valid argument for inadequate representation.    As the conversation wraps up, Brueski and Dreeke ponder the future of Chad Daybell post-conviction. They speculate on whether Daybell, due to his notoriety, might attempt to profit from his story, considering the morbid fascination of some members of the public with notorious criminals. This brings up questions about the application of Son of Sam laws in Idaho and whether Daybell could indeed profit from his infamy.    In closing, the "Hidden Killers" podcast leaves its audience with a poignant question: With his legal defenses crumbling and the trial imminent, what is the fate of Chad Daybell? And in a broader sense, what does this case reveal about the limits of the legal system in dealing with defendants who are lost in their delusional worlds? As Brueski aptly puts it, "We're going to be talking about this one for quite a while." Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

This sudden development raises critical questions about the defense's preparedness and Daybell's fate in the upcoming trial.    The discussion begins with Brueski highlighting the unusual nature of Pryor's request. "You've had more than a year," Brueski notes, echoing the judge's sentiment that the timing of the request seems implausible. This sentiment is shared by Dreeke, who with a hint of irony in his voice, comments, “Chad's hosed.” The gravity of the situation is not lost on either speaker, as they delve into the implications of an attorney abandoning his client at such a critical juncture.    Dreeke, with his background in behavioral analysis, points out the oddity of Pryor's move, given that the nature of Daybell's case and his financial instability were apparent from the start. "The attorney was completely witting of the sound," Dreeke says, implying that Pryor's reasons for withdrawal might be more complex than they appear.    The conversation then shifts to the potential motivations behind Pryor's decision. Brueski speculates about the lack of alternative legal representation for Daybell, wondering if the case's "bottom of the barrel" nature and Daybell's bizarre belief system are deterring other attorneys. Dreeke agrees, suggesting that the “magical thinking” and cult-like elements surrounding Daybell make the case unappealing and challenging for legal professionals.    Dreeke and Brueski delve deeper into the dynamics of the Daybell case, contrasting it with other high-profile cases where defendants, despite heinous charges, find representation. They ponder whether Daybell's entrenched and delusional beliefs, which came to the fore during Lori's trial, are a deterrent for potential legal counsel. “It's so magical thinking that even if you want to try and get this person off, you do require some form of cooperation on the part of your client,” Brueski observes.    The podcast also addresses the broader implications of Pryor's withdrawal, including how it might affect Daybell's potential grounds for appeal. They discuss the challenge of adequately representing someone with such deeply ingrained, irrational beliefs and whether this could be a valid argument for inadequate representation.    As the conversation wraps up, Brueski and Dreeke ponder the future of Chad Daybell post-conviction. They speculate on whether Daybell, due to his notoriety, might attempt to profit from his story, considering the morbid fascination of some members of the public with notorious criminals. This brings up questions about the application of Son of Sam laws in Idaho and whether Daybell could indeed profit from his infamy.    In closing, the "Hidden Killers" podcast leaves its audience with a poignant question: With his legal defenses crumbling and the trial imminent, what is the fate of Chad Daybell? And in a broader sense, what does this case reveal about the limits of the legal system in dealing with defendants who are lost in their delusional worlds? As Brueski aptly puts it, "We're going to be talking about this one for quite a while." Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the ever-twisting saga of Chad Daybell's upcoming trial, a new chapter unfolds. With just three months remaining before the trial date, Daybell's attorney, John Pryor, made a surprising move. His plea to withdraw from the case was firmly rejected by the judge. The developments in this high-profile case have left the public and legal experts alike pondering the implications of this decision. Tony Brueski of the "Hidden Killers" podcast recently discussed these developments with Defense Attorney and podcast host Bob Motta. The conversation delved into the reasons behind Pryor's withdrawal request and what it means for Daybell's defense. Pryor cited two primary reasons for his withdrawal: the non-payment of legal fees and his lack of qualification for a capital murder case. However, the judge, unfazed by these arguments, firmly stated that Pryor knew what he was signing up for and denied his request to leave the case. “You have stamped your ticket and are in the park. You're on the ride,” the judge effectively communicated. Bob Motta, analyzing Pryor's actions, suggested that the timing and nature of the withdrawal request seemed more like a strategic move to stall the trial. "This is clearly a move by the defense to stall," Motta explained, acknowledging that the high stakes of a death penalty case could motivate such tactics. However, Motta dismissed the idea that Pryor's actions were part of a long-term strategy to save Daybell from the death penalty through appellate issues. He argued that the strength of the evidence against Daybell would likely overshadow any claims of ineffective counsel. “The strength of the evidence was so powerful that it wouldn't have changed the verdict,” Motta stated, emphasizing the solidity of the prosecution's case. Daybell's case, set against the backdrop of allegations of murder and religious fanaticism, has captivated the nation. His wife, Lori Vallow Daybell, has already faced trial, with minimal defense presented on her behalf. The prosecution's case against Chad Daybell, according to Motta, appears even stronger. As the trial date approaches, the decision to keep Pryor on the case raises numerous questions. How will Pryor navigate the defense with the cloud of his attempted withdrawal hanging over the proceedings? Will this affect Daybell's chances of a fair trial? And what does this mean for the future of high-profile criminal defense, where attorneys may feel trapped between professional obligations and challenging clients? These questions remain as the clock ticks down to one of the most anticipated trials in recent memory. The eyes of the nation are fixed on the courtroom, awaiting the next twist in the convoluted tale of Chad and Lori Daybell. As Brueski and Motta concluded their discussion, the question lingered in the air: What unforeseen developments might still emerge in the lead-up to Chad Daybell's trial?

In the entangled web of the Alex Murdaugh murder case, a pivotal question looms: will the lone juror's testimony unravel the conviction and lead to a retrial? The podcast "Hidden Killers," hosted by Tony Brueski, recently featured former Felony Prosecutor Eric Faddis to dissect this complex scenario.    At the heart of the debate is Becky Hill, the clerk of court, whose alleged influence on the jury has thrown the legitimacy of Murdaugh's conviction into uncertainty. The implications of this allegation extend far beyond the courtroom, potentially affecting the life of the juror at the center of these claims.    Brueski raises a thought-provoking perspective, highlighting the human element in the legal process. He speculates on the potential motivations of the juror who accused Hill of influencing their decision. If the juror's testimony leads to a retrial, it could open doors to lucrative opportunities, such as book deals and media attention, transforming their life overnight. "You're going to make a lot of money immediately after that," Brueski points out, emphasizing the weight of the juror's words in the fate of the high-profile trial.    Faddis concurs, acknowledging the profound impact this situation could have on the juror. "This person's life is going to change," he states, considering the possibilities of both positive and negative repercussions. The juror's decision to testify, especially if it leads to Murdaugh's retrial, places them under intense public scrutiny.    The conversation delves into the ethical dilemma facing the juror. Brueski and Faddis ponder whether financial incentives might influence the juror's decision to testify. While acknowledging the lack of evidence for any ulterior motive, they highlight the importance of honesty in the juror's testimony. The potential consequences of lying under oath are significant, but so is the temptation to capitalize on a situation that has garnered national attention.    Faddis points out the juror's unenviable position, emphasizing that they did not seek to be involved in such a high-stakes legal drama. "They were required by the state to come and sit on this jury," Faddis reminds listeners, underscoring the juror's involuntary role in this legal saga.    The discussion concludes with a reflection on the juror's moral compass. Brueski posits that the decision to testify truthfully and the potential to benefit from the situation poses a real test of character. "It's going to be a real question of reality and character, and everyone's going to judge that," he observes.    As the Murdaugh case continues to captivate the nation, the role of individual jurors and their impact on the legal process remains a subject of intense scrutiny and debate. The upcoming evidentiary hearing promises to shed light on these complex issues, with the potential to rewrite the narrative of one of the most sensational trials in recent memory.    In conclusion, the Murdaugh case serves as a stark reminder of the intricate interplay between law, ethics, and human nature. As Brueski and Faddis eloquently discuss, the juror's decision transcends legal boundaries, touching upon fundamental questions of truth, responsibility, and the consequences of one's actions in the pursuit of justice.

In a case mired in controversy and legal complexities, the possibility of a second trial for Alex Murdaugh hangs in the balance, casting a shadow of doubt over the justice system's integrity. The pivotal figure in this unfolding drama is Becky Hill, the former clerk of court whose actions are now under intense scrutiny.    Tony Brueski, host of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, delved into the heart of this legal quagmire with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke. Their conversation raises critical questions: How far can the missteps of one individual skew the scales of justice? And, in the labyrinth of legal procedures, what does it truly take to undo a verdict?    As Dreeke points out, the distinction between unethical behavior and outright illegality is crucial. The case hinges on the allegations of jury tampering against Hill, compounded by her son's wiretapping charges and her own plagiarism admission. But proving that her actions swayed the jury's decision is a formidable challenge.    The evidentiary hearing, a prelude to the potential retrial, will not focus on Hill's character but rather on her specific interactions with the jurors. As Dreeke eloquently states, “Just because something's a lot of impropriety and ethical questions doesn't make it illegal.” This statement underscores the complex nature of the case, where ethical breaches and legal violations intertwine.    However, the implications of Hill's actions extend beyond legal technicalities. They strike at the heart of public trust in the judicial system. If a court official can so profoundly influence a trial's outcome, what does it say about the fairness and impartiality of the legal process?    The upcoming hearing will not only determine Murdaugh's fate but also serve as a litmus test for the judicial system's resilience against internal corruption. As Dreeke emphasizes, the real goal is to ascertain whether justice was served. The situation calls for an objective assessment, untainted by emotional attachment, a task made more challenging by the convoluted nature of the allegations.    The conversation also delves into the human aspect of the case, particularly the jurors' experiences. They now face the daunting prospect of revisiting their decisions, potentially under a barrage of public and legal scrutiny. How will their testimonies shape the course of the retrial, and what psychological toll will this reappraisal exact on them?    As Brueski and Dreeke explore, the juror's dilemma exemplifies the case's broader implications. It's not just about legal precedents or Murdaugh's guilt or innocence. It's a matter of public confidence in a system designed to be impartial and just. If that confidence is shattered, the ripple effects could be far-reaching, affecting not just Murdaugh's case but the very foundations of judicial trust.    In the end, the question remains: Will the truth emerge triumphant in this convoluted saga, or will the shadows of doubt and controversy continue to loom large over the justice system? As we await the evidentiary hearing's outcome, the answers to these questions will not only impact Murdaugh's future but also shape public perception of the legal system for years to come.

The upcoming evidentiary hearing promises to shed light on these complex issues, with the potential to rewrite the narrative of one of the most sensational trials in recent memory.    In conclusion, the Murdaugh case serves as a stark reminder of the intricate interplay between law, ethics, and human nature. As Brueski and Faddis eloquently discuss, the juror's decision transcends legal boundaries, touching upon fundamental questions of truth, responsibility, and the consequences of one's actions in the pursuit of justice.

Is Natalia Grace a survivor of a system that repeatedly failed her, or is there more to her story than meets the eye? This question echoes throughout the recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," where host Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott delve into the complex and controversial case of Natalia Grace. The conversation traverses through the realms of child welfare, adoption challenges, and the ethical dilemmas surrounding this high-profile case.    Natalia Grace's journey has been anything but ordinary. As Brueski notes, "family after family in this case of Natalia Grace giving her up," highlights a pattern often seen in the child welfare system. Scott weighs in, "They [the adoptive parents] were in over their heads. They Kristine very likely may have had this agenda that I'm going to mold this child... Clearly kids who have been in orphanages and been bounced then from foster home to foster home, they have problems attaching."    The discussion takes a darker turn with the mention of alleged sexual behavior by Natalia while at a state hospital, raising the question of whether she had been a victim of abuse or exposed to inappropriate material at a young age. Scott suggests, "Sexual abuse is also unfortunately common in orphanage settings," adding another layer to Natalia's troubled past.    The conversation then shifts to the family of Cynthia and Antoine Mans, with whom Natalia lived for ten years. The podcast reveals that their relationship with Natalia ended on a sour note, with allegations of using her for financial gain. Scott expresses concern about the motives of the Mans, "They were then able to tap into her social security money and her food stamps," suggesting a possible exploitation scenario.    Natalia's life, as depicted in the documentary, raises questions about the role of media in shaping public perception. The podcast highlights the selective nature of the footage and the narrative constructed around Natalia's life. "Selective footage, you know, we don't know the whole story," Scott points out, emphasizing the need for an unbiased examination of the case.    In a surprising twist, the conversation reveals Natalia's creation of a GoFundMe page, seeking financial help for housing and medical procedures. Brueski and Scott ponder the implications of Natalia's actions in light of her complex past. "She's a survivor and she's still trying to survive," Scott remarks, advocating empathy for Natalia's difficult journey.    However, the narrative around Natalia is not without its critics. The podcast questions the portrayal of Natalia in the media and by those around her, pondering the impact of such exposure on her mental health and decision-making. "It's not unheard of... In fact, it'd be very shocking if they weren't making rather odd decisions and making bizarre statements because their compass is very off," Brueski reflects on the possible consequences of Natalia's traumatic experiences.    As the episode draws to a close, the conversation leaves the audience with more questions than answers. The case of Natalia Grace, as dissected in "Hidden Killers," is a poignant reminder of the complexities and ethical quandaries in child welfare, adoption, and media representation. It raises critical questions about the nature of truth, the responsibility of caregivers, and the impact of trauma on young lives.    In conclusion, Natalia Grace's story, as explored in this insightful podcast, serves as a call to look beyond the surface and question the narratives we are presented. But one can't help but wonder, in a world where stories are often shaped by unseen forces, can we ever fully understand the truth behind a life as tumultuous as Natalia Grace's?
