If the system's goal was to quiet the Ellen Greenberg case with one last official ruling — it failed. Badly. The 2025 report from Philadelphia's Medical Examiner, reclassifying nothing and explaining even less, is now being dissected by the people who understand just how dangerous this kind of language can be. In this episode, defense attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole to pull the curtain back on how institutions like the M.E.'s office use carefully worded findings to sidestep accountability. They examine what the report conveniently redefines, what it conveniently omits, and why this case now represents a larger crisis in public trust. This isn't theory. This is what happens when legal self-preservation takes precedence over factual clarity — and it's playing out in plain sight. The Ellen Greenberg case isn't just unsolved. It's being strategically sealed shut. #EllenGreenberg #JusticeForEllenGreenberg #EllenGreenbergCase #BobMotta #HiddenKillersPodcast #TrueCrimeTruth #SystemicFailure #MedicalExaminerReport #InstitutionalDeflection #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There's no way around it — the 2025 Ellen Greenberg report is a system defending itself, not an honest reevaluation of a suspicious death. Ellen Greenberg was 27, engaged, and planning a wedding when she was found with 23 wounds. Years later, after national media coverage, civil litigation, and public pressure, the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office claimed to conduct an “independent review.” The result? No change. Still suicide. Still silence on the most disturbing details. In this powerful breakdown, defense attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole to take apart the legal language, institutional incentives, and forensic deflections used to make this ruling appear conclusive. They explore how government agencies rewrite their own mistakes — and why Ellen's case is one of the most chilling examples of procedural finality being used as a weapon. The public deserves better. Ellen's family deserves the truth.  And this episode holds nothing back. #EllenGreenberg #JusticeForEllenGreenberg #EllenGreenbergCase #BobMotta #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TruthNotClosure #ForensicReviewFail #SystemProtectsItself #TrueCrimeAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The name Ellen Greenberg has come to represent something larger than a single case — it's now a symbol of what happens when systems prioritize self-protection over truth. In 2025, the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office released a highly anticipated “independent review” of Ellen's death — only to double down on the original ruling of suicide. Despite 23 wounds, unanswered questions, and growing national outrage, the system closed ranks once again. In this episode, criminal defense attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole to unpack why this report has so many legal experts — and the public — demanding accountability. Together, they break down how the language of “reasonable certainty” shields agencies from scrutiny, why internal reviews rarely lead to justice, and how Ellen's case reflects a larger failure in forensic oversight. This isn't just about one ruling.  This is about how easy it is to rewrite reality when no one wants to face the cost of being wrong. If you've followed the Ellen Greenberg case, this conversation gives voice to everything the report tried to quiet. And if you haven't? This is where you need to start. #EllenGreenberg #JusticeForEllenGreenberg #EllenGreenbergCase #HiddenKillers #BobMotta  #TonyBrueski #ForensicFailure #InstitutionalCoverup #TrueCrimePodcast #SystemicFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Most true crime stories fall into the same trap—fixating on the killer, sensationalizing the violence, and leaving victims as footnotes. Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy doesn't play that game. In this episode, we sit down with executive producer Patrick McManus, actor Michael Chernus, and attorney/podcaster Bob Motta to talk about how this new Peacock series does something different. Something overdue. It centers the victims. It challenges the system. And it strips the monster of his myth. We explore the challenges of dramatizing a case with so much historical weight. McManus shares how the writers chose to humanize the victims through standalone narrative arcs. Chernus discusses the internal conflict of embodying Gacy without glorifying him. And Motta opens up about inheriting his father's defense tapes and hearing, for himself, the voice of a man who had no remorse, no empathy, and no soul. This is one of the most grounded, respectful, and important retellings of a true crime story in years. And we're honored to bring you the story behind the series.  #DevilInDisguise #PeacockGacySeries #TrueCrimeDoneRight #VictimCentered #JohnWayneGacy #BobMotta #DefenseDiaries #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #GacyDrama Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For decades, the story of John Wayne Gacy has been sensationalized, flattened into caricature, and spun into horror tropes. But in Peacock's new limited series Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy, that mask is coming off—and in this interview, we go behind the scenes with the team responsible for flipping the true crime genre on its head. Joining us are series showrunner and executive producer Patrick McManus, actor Michael Chernus—who portrays Gacy with terrifying subtlety—and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, whose father was on Gacy's original legal team. Together, we dissect how the show avoids glorifying the killer and instead places the focus exactly where it belongs: on the victims, their families, and the systemic failures that allowed Gacy to operate in plain sight. This isn't a glorified biopic. There are no salacious murder scenes. No glamorizing evil. What you get is a chilling, grounded retelling that treats its subject matter—and its audience—with respect. We also dig into what it takes to play a predator without slipping into caricature, what it's like to listen to Gacy's original defense tapes, and why true crime needs to evolve beyond its fascination with monsters and lean into the wreckage they leave behind. If you care about accuracy, nuance, and storytelling with a conscience, this episode is essential.  #JohnWayneGacy #DevilInDisguise #PeacockOriginals #TrueCrimeSeries #MichaelChernus #BobMotta #HiddenKillersPodcast #TrueCrimeInterview #GacySeries #VictimCenteredStorytelling Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this first segment of Hidden Killers Live, we dig into the shocking breakdown of Richard Allen's appeal process in the Delphi murders case. With defense attorney and Defense Diaries host Bob Motta joining the panel, we unpack the bureaucratic chaos surrounding missing exhibits tied to the now-infamous 136-page Franks memo—a document that accused law enforcement of misleading the court to obtain a search warrant. Why does this matter? Because those exhibits, including documents that point toward alternate suspects, weren't formally entered into evidence—meaning they've been omitted from the official trial transcript. The appellate court now has a certified record that's incomplete, and Richard Allen's legal team has been forced to file a motion to compel the transmission of those exhibits just to keep the appeal alive. Bob explains how different jurisdictions handle this kind of mess, what's at stake, and how this may set precedent for how other wrongful conviction appeals are sabotaged through procedural technicalities. We also discuss the very real possibility that Richard Allen's appeal could fail—not because of the merits, but because of broken systems, missing paperwork, and a Kafkaesque legal process that seems more interested in protecting itself than in seeking justice. This isn't just another paperwork delay. It's potentially the death knell for a man already sentenced to die in prison—and it raises serious questions about transparency, accountability, and whether justice can survive in a system this broken. #RichardAllen #DelphiMurders #TrueCrime #FranksMemo #AppealProcess #HiddenKillers #BobMotta #DelphiCase #Injustice #WrongfulConviction Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How Cops Manufactured Confessions — The True Cost of the Yogurt Shop Cover-Up This is the segment that should make every law‑and‑order headline pause. We're not rehashing the solved case — we're pulling the thread that destroyed lives for decades: the interrogation tactics, investigative tunnel vision, and prosecutorial rush that produced false confessions in the Yogurt Shop murders. On Hidden Killers Live, defense attorney Bob Motta sits with us and we play back the press conference moments that acknowledged what so many suspected for years: Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen confessed under intense interrogation, and there was never physical evidence tying them to the scene. We walk through how those confessions were obtained, why they stuck in courtrooms, and how the system rewarded certainty over truth. This segment breaks that process down in plain language. We explain, with examples and legal perspective, why an 18‑hour interrogation — or five hours of repeated suggestion and pressure — can make a person confess to something they never did. We talk psychological coercion: minimization, false‑evidence ploys, repeated suggestion, exhaustion — techniques that produce the appearance of confession without producing truth. Bob describes the prosecutorial incentives that let that evidence carry the day: a damning audio tape, a nervous jury, and a DA office under pressure to close a city‑shattering crime. But it's not just psychology. We cover the procedural failures: why exculpatory DNA was ignored for years, how labs and evidence management fell short, and why internal checks — from supervisory review to independent oversight — failed to catch the drift. We also tackle the human cost: men who lost their freedom, reputations, and futures; families who were misled; and the chilling reality that the real killer stayed on the road. This is a call for accountability, not spectacle. Bob lays out concrete reforms that would have prevented these confessions from being the lynchpin of a criminal case: mandatory video of all interrogations, strict limits on session length, independent review when confessions are central, and a presumption against charging when DNA excludes suspects. We finish asking the question every viewer should be asking: how many other cases are resting on coerced admissions right now? If you want a legal, psychological and human breakdown of how police failures become life sentences — and what to do about it — watch this. This isn't just a true crime story. It's a warning.

How Cops Manufactured Confessions — The True Cost of the Yogurt Shop Cover-Up This is the segment that should make every law‑and‑order headline pause. We're not rehashing the solved case — we're pulling the thread that destroyed lives for decades: the interrogation tactics, investigative tunnel vision, and prosecutorial rush that produced false confessions in the Yogurt Shop murders. On Hidden Killers Live, defense attorney Bob Motta sits with us and we play back the press conference moments that acknowledged what so many suspected for years: Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen confessed under intense interrogation, and there was never physical evidence tying them to the scene. We walk through how those confessions were obtained, why they stuck in courtrooms, and how the system rewarded certainty over truth. This segment breaks that process down in plain language. We explain, with examples and legal perspective, why an 18‑hour interrogation — or five hours of repeated suggestion and pressure — can make a person confess to something they never did. We talk psychological coercion: minimization, false‑evidence ploys, repeated suggestion, exhaustion — techniques that produce the appearance of confession without producing truth. Bob describes the prosecutorial incentives that let that evidence carry the day: a damning audio tape, a nervous jury, and a DA office under pressure to close a city‑shattering crime. But it's not just psychology. We cover the procedural failures: why exculpatory DNA was ignored for years, how labs and evidence management fell short, and why internal checks — from supervisory review to independent oversight — failed to catch the drift. We also tackle the human cost: men who lost their freedom, reputations, and futures; families who were misled; and the chilling reality that the real killer stayed on the road.

Yogurt Shop Murders Solved After 34 Years: Press Confession Reactions + Bob Motta's Legal Analysis This is the episode that finally puts everything in perspective. In this special Hidden Killers Live breakdown, we take you inside the full Austin Police press conference announcing the long-awaited resolution of the Yogurt Shop Murders—a case that haunted Austin for 34 years. But we don't just play the tape. We unpack every revelation, contradiction, and implication in real time. And joining us for this explosive episode is defense attorney Bob Motta, host of Defense Diaries, to offer a no-BS legal breakdown from the defense side—a perspective the public rarely hears. Here's what we cover: The Y-STR DNA match that finally named Robert Eugene Brashers as the killer Why that match took decades—despite the evidence being in storage for years The false confessions that led to two innocent men being convicted—one of them sentenced to death How prosecutors ignored exculpatory DNA, clung to a collapsing narrative, and refused to back down Bob's analysis of the coercive tactics used in the interrogations, and why courts continue to let this happen The broader systemic problem: tunnel vision, evidence suppression, and a culture of “win the case” over “get it right” Why Brashers was never on the radar, despite a violent criminal record and ties to multiple sexual assaults What real accountability looks like—and what reforms might actually prevent this from happening again This is more than a reaction. It's a legal autopsy of one of the most high-profile failures in American cold case history. Watch as we connect the dots the justice system refused to for over three decades.

34 Years Late: Bob Motta Reacts to the DNA That Solved the Yogurt Shop Murders In this segment of Hidden Killers Live, defense attorney Bob Motta joins us to go beyond the headlines of the Austin Police press conference. Yes, DNA and forensic genealogy have now identified Robert Eugene Brashers as the killer in the 1991 Yogurt Shop Murders. But Bob's focus isn't just how it was solved — it's why it wasn't solved sooner. We break down how a single .380 shell casing sat in evidence for decades before being resubmitted to NIBIN, how a rare 27‑marker Y‑STR DNA profile languished without a match, and how a cold case detective finally pushed for manual searches across labs to find Brashers' name. Bob explains how these delays happen, why evidence can sit untouched, and what this means for other cold cases nationwide. This isn't a victory lap. It's a lesson in what happens when systems don't keep up with science — and why families shouldn't have to wait a lifetime for truth. #YogurtShopMurders #RobertBrashers #DNAJustice #BobMotta #HiddenKillersLive #ForensicGenealogy #ColdCaseBreakthrough #AustinCrime #SerialKillerID #TrueCrimeAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Death Row on a Lie: Bob Motta on the Wrongful Yogurt Shop Convictions in Austin In this second segment of Hidden Killers Live, Bob Motta reacts to the most painful revelation of the press conference: the state's admission that Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen were innocent all along. Convicted in 2001 and 2002 on the basis of confessions extracted after 18‑ and 5‑hour interrogations, these men served years behind bars — one on death row — for crimes they didn't commit. Bob takes us inside the mechanics of coerced confessions. He explains how long hours, suggestion, minimization, and tunnel vision can make innocent people say anything to end an interrogation. He also lays out why juries still believe these confessions, even when no physical evidence supports them, and why prosecutors keep pushing cases that DNA has already undermined. This isn't just about one bad case in Austin. It's about a system that prioritizes “solved” over “proven” — and the lives ruined when that shortcut becomes policy. #YogurtShopMurders #FalseConfessions #WrongfulConviction #BobMotta #HiddenKillersLive #MichaelScott #RobertSpringsteen #JusticeReform #CoercedConfession #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bob Motta Breaks Down The Sandra Birchmore Case: Groomed by a Cop, Silenced Forever Sandra Birchmore's story is one of betrayal at every level. A bright young woman who entered the Canton, MA police explorer program at 14, she was groomed for years by officer Matthew Farwell — a man twice her age and sworn to protect the community. By 23, she was pregnant and hopeful about her future. Weeks later, she was found dead. Initially ruled a suicide, her death is now the centerpiece of a federal murder case. Farwell faces charges not only for Sandra's exploitation but for strangling her and staging the scene. Even worse, he wasn't the only one. Other officers have since been forced out, stripped of certification, or implicated in the pattern of abuse. This segment examines how grooming works, how predators exploit positions of authority, and why parents and communities often miss the red flags. It's an entry point into a larger story of power abused, trust betrayed, and a system that looked the other way for too long.

Cover-Up Exposed: How Sandra Birchmore's Murder Was Hidden for Years Why was Sandra Birchmore's death initially ruled a suicide when the evidence showed otherwise? This segment dives into the mechanics of cover-up: how law enforcement manipulated a medical examiner, how civil lawsuits forced the feds to step in, and why internal oversight often fails when the accused are wearing badges. The hosts and Bob Motta unpack the culture of small-town connections — where cops, medical examiners, and local officials all rub elbows, making accountability nearly impossible. They also compare the Birchmore case to other examples of investigative collapse, showing how civil litigation has become one of the only ways to force the truth into the open. This is where the story moves beyond one victim. It's about a system designed to protect itself, and the families forced to fight for justice against overwhelming odds.

Father Chases Down Predator After Daughter Vanishes: The Aaron Spencer Story What would you do if a known predator — already charged with dozens of crimes against your child — kidnapped your daughter in the middle of the night? This segment dives into the real-life nightmare of Aaron Spencer, a father from Arkansas who allegedly did what many say they would've done: he took action. After 67-year-old Michael Foster — accused of sexually abusing Spencer's 14-year-old daughter — was released on a shockingly low $5,000 bond, Foster reportedly returned and abducted the girl again. That's when Aaron jumped into his truck, found them, and confronted the man. What happened next is now at the center of a murder case. Tony Brueski and defense attorney Bob Motta walk through the emotional and legal landscape of this case. Is this murder — or self-defense? What makes this situation different from vigilante justice? And why is the father being prosecuted while the system failed to protect his daughter? This isn't just a case. It's a reckoning.

Chad Daybell's Excommunication & Whitney Houston Obsession Just when you think Chad Daybell's story can't get stranger… it does. In this third installment, we pivot from prophetic romance to spiritual self-pity as Chad shifts into martyr mode. Through another handwritten prison letter, Chad describes his LDS mission, the persecution he claims to have faced, and ultimately, his excommunication from the church — which he says he learned about through a form letter delivered late by jail staff. But the truly surreal moment? Chad claims he had a deep spiritual awakening while listening to Whitney Houston's “So Emotional.” Yes, really. Tony, Stacy, and special guest Bob Motta break it all down — from the narcissistic tone of Chad's self-defense, to the psychological profile of someone who weaponizes religion as both shield and sword. Bob brings in legal insight, comparing Chad's behavior to other high-control defendants who shape reality to fit their needs. Is Chad deluded… or dangerous? The segment ends on a chilling final comment from Bob: “Even if there's a universe where Chad didn't kill anyone... not very likely.” Hashtags:  #ChadDaybell #LoriVallow #WhitneyHouston #SoEmotional #Excommunication #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #TonyBruski #BobMotta #CultBehavior Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Full Breakdown: Chad Daybell's Letters & The Aaron Spencer Justice Meltdown Two shocking stories. One explosive episode. In this 2-hour Hidden Killers special, we start with Chad Daybell's infamous prison letters — read aloud in AI voice with full dramatic effect — and end with the emotionally devastating Aaron Spencer case, where a father is now being prosecuted for killing the man accused of abusing and kidnapping his daughter. Part 1: Chad Daybell reimagines his relationship with Lori Vallow as a divine romance, complete with strange spiritual beliefs, awkward metaphors, and phrases like “translated beings” and “loin fire.” Tony, Stacy, and Todd react in real time with commentary that is part hilarious, part horrifying. Part 2: Aaron Spencer, a grieving father, is being prosecuted for murder after allegedly saving his daughter from a repeat predator. Bob Motta joins Tony to break down the legal case — and expose the system failures that led to it. From unconstitutional gag orders to shocking judicial overlap, this segment is a masterclass in how bad policy can become tragedy. This episode is unmissable. It's chaotic, disturbing, funny, and infuriating — all at once.

Is the System Hiding Something in the Aaron Spencer Case? Why is Aaron Spencer — a father who allegedly saved his daughter from a man accused of dozens of sex crimes — the one facing murder charges? In this explosive segment, Tony Brueski and Bob Motta dig into the deeper, darker questions behind the Spencer case. Was this just a tragic legal misfire… or is something being covered up? With parallels to other controversial prosecutions and historical cases where justice systems have gone into self-protection mode, this discussion explores motive — not just Spencer's, but the prosecution's. Could pressing charges be a way to shield the county from future liability? Was there a network protecting the alleged predator, Michael Foster? And does the system even realize how broken it looks to the outside world? The team also tackles public outrage, grooming misconceptions, and what happens when institutions double down on failure instead of correcting it. This is a must-hear if you care about accountability.
