A tenuous sense of finality has spread across the South Carolina Lowcountry like a late November cold front as another chapter in Alex Murdaugh's seemingly unending criminal saga comes to a close. Getting there, the world heard for the first time this week the raw emotional catharsis of several families victimized by Alex Murdaugh's beguiling treachery. Friends, peers and clients alike unleashed years of pent-up anger and disappointment in Murdaugh Tuesday as he was formally sentenced to 27 years in prison for his many frauds, thefts, forgeries and lies. To some, the sentence only serves to further stoke the fire of their anger as it seems to them not nearly enough. Others are simply glad to turn from the last page a dark chapter in their lives — more interested in peace and forgiveness than vengeance.But what would this historic day be without the enigmatic and vexing Murdaugh once again attempting to seize the spotlight away from those owed justice to shine the attention on himself instead?Join host Anne Emerson, legal analyst Charlie Condon and producer Drew Tripp for this jam-packed retrospective on Alex Murdaugh's financial crimes plea deal and sentencing.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

McKinney Police Department in Texas has uncovered the remains of Heather Schwab, 35, in a refrigerator hidden away in a walled-off kitchen. The discovery comes over a year after Heather's disappearance, and her boyfriend, Chad Stevens, now faces charges related to tampering with evidence and assault causing physical harm. The investigation was initiated in June when Heather's mother, Tammra Schwab, reported her daughter missing. Despite a strained relationship, Tammra became suspicious when a neighbor revealed not having seen Heather for several months. Tammra, armed with concerns about Chad's alleged threats to Heather's life, took matters into her own hands and provided a crucial lead to the police in early November. According to the warrant, Chad's ex-wife told Tammra that Chad said he "killed Heather and buried her body in his backyard." Police then reached out to the ex-wife, who said that she learned the information from her and Chad's daughter, according to the warrant. Chad's ex-wife further implicated him, disclosing that he had confessed to killing Heather and burying her in his backyard. The information was relayed by their daughter, who also revealed Chad's disturbing threats when she informed him of her pregnancy. This revelation prompted the police to obtain both an arrest and search warrant for Chad's residence. According to the warrant, the daughter told Chad she was pregnant and that he "threatened to kill the baby if she did not have an abortion and even threatened to kill her." His daughter told the detective that she told her father he should be careful about making threats like that since his girlfriend had gone missing, to which her father responded by asking "how she knew about his backyard and a bunch of other random things Briana had not brought up," according to the warrant. Upon searching the house, investigators found a refrigerator wrapped in plastic and concealed behind sheetrock in the kitchen. Inside, they discovered Heather Schwab's body. Chad Stevens, when confronted, admitted to hiding the body, claiming Heather died in July 2022 after hitting her head in the shower.  However, the narrative was different from what Stevens told investigators in June when he said Schwab left him and he didn't know where she'd gone. He also gave neighbors a completely different story when they asked where Schwab went, claiming the woman died of cancer. During the search, authorities discovered the suspicious refrigerator wrapped in plastic wrap. The arrest affidavit said the sole entry to the kitchen had been “suspiciously closed and concealed from the remainder of the residence with a piece of sheet rock.”  In interviews with McKinney police, Stevens said that Schwab died at his home on July 26, 2022, and that he didn't know what to do, so he put her body in the refrigerator, the affidavit said. However, police suspect she may have died in August based on a 911 call that month involving Chad and Heather. Chad is currently charged with tampering with evidence with intent to impair a human corpse and assault causing physical harm. He has not entered a plea in either case, and additional charges may be filed pending the completion of Heather's autopsy. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a shocking turn of events, Alex Murdaugh, the once-revered attorney, has admitted guilt to a series of financial crimes, a move that has rippled through the legal community and the public alike. With the looming shadow of his murder trial still hanging overhead, Murdaugh's confession raises more questions than it answers. Neama Rahmani, former federal prosecutor and President of West Coast Trial Lawyers Association, joined Tony Brueski on the podcast "Hidden Killers" to dissect the implications of this development.    "Murdaugh's plea to the financial crimes was expected, but its implications are far-reaching," Rahmani explained. "He's admitted his guilt in state court during his murder trial and in federal court. This plea could seal his fate, leading to decades in prison."    Interestingly, Murdaugh's decision to plead guilty in federal court, as Rahmani notes, was likely a strategic move aimed at serving time in federal prison, often perceived as less harsh than state prison. This decision underscores the complexities and strategies employed in high-profile legal battles.    The conversation also shed light on the peculiarities of the judicial system. Murdaugh's case, enmeshed in controversy and public scrutiny, has raised ethical and procedural questions, particularly regarding Judge Clifton Newman. Newman, who presided over Murdaugh's murder trial, recently requested to step down from any post-trial motions related to the murder charges, citing the need to avoid any potential appellate issues.    Rahmani opined, "Judge Newman's decision to recuse himself, while retaining the presiding role in the financial crimes trial, is a prudent move. It maintains the integrity of the judicial process and addresses the public's concerns about impartiality."    However, the podcast also delved into the potential impact of Murdaugh's actions on the victims of his financial crimes. The opportunity for these victims to confront Murdaugh and express their suffering in court is a critical aspect of the justice system. Yet, as Rahmani and Brueski pondered, whether Murdaugh's admissions and the subsequent victim impact statements will bring closure or justice to those he wronged remains uncertain.    Rahmani remarked, "While the victim restitution process is crucial, the reality is that the victims might only receive a fraction of what they lost, if anything. Murdaugh's actions have caused irreversible harm, and his admissions, while legally significant, do little to repair that."    The discussion also touched upon the strategic moves of Murdaugh's defense attorneys, Jim Griffin and Dick Harpootlian, who have proposed a change of venue for future trials, citing "unprecedented media coverage." This move, as Rahmani explains, is a testament to their commitment to exploring every legal avenue for their client, regardless of public opinion.    Reflecting on the broader implications of Murdaugh's admissions, the conversation with Rahmani presents a nuanced picture of a legal system grappling with complex, high-profile cases. The Murdaugh saga, with its twists and turns, is more than just a tale of crime and punishment; it's a mirror to the intricate dance of justice, ethics, and human fallibility.    As this saga continues to unfold, one can't help but wonder: In a case as tangled and tragic as Alex Murdaugh's, can true justice ever be fully served?

Authorities in Washington state discovered large pools of blood at the residence of a missing Washington state couple during a welfare check, and they believe their disgruntled tenant brutally murdered them. They conducted the welfare check the same day that Karen Koep and Davido Lacey were reported missing. Court documents released on Monday revealed that the authorities found the blood, which seemed to have been attempted to be cleaned up, at the couple's residence. A blood trail leading to the garage suggested that Koep and Davido may have been shot before their bodies were loaded into the trunk of their car. Despite the grim discovery, the bodies of the couple have not been located. The suspect, 45-year-old Timothy Burke, was arrested a few days ago and charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping in connection with the couple's disappearance. Burke, who was a tenant at the couple's rental property, appeared in court for the first time on Monday and is being held without bail after prosecutors argued that he posed a flight risk and a danger to the community. Pauline Dutton, Koep's sister, revealed that there were emails exchanged between Burke and Davido, suggesting that Burke knew he was about to be evicted. Dutton described Burke as becoming increasingly delusional, believing that Davido was poisoning the water on the property. The tragic incident unfolded on November 10, with neighbors reporting hearing shotgun fire on a stormy night. Unfortunately, they dismissed it as the sound of falling pinecones, unaware of the gruesome events transpiring next door. Koep, a popular chiropractor in the area, and Davido, 68, have left their two adult sons devastated by their mysterious disappearance and alleged murder. The police zeroed in on Burke when they discovered that the couple's credit cards were being used after their disappearance, backed by video surveillance of Burke making transactions. Initially arrested for identity theft, Burke was released due to a lack of probable cause but was later re-arrested. Further investigations revealed red stains, cartridges, and a case containing fired .45 caliber shell casings in Koep's abandoned car, discovered the same day they were reported missing. These cartridges were matched to a registered pistol recovered from Burke.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The child abuse case involving Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt has prompted Senator David Hinkins to advocate for enhanced oversight of life coaches across Utah. Hinkins believes that the state must take a more proactive role in regulating this industry to protect families and individuals seeking guidance.    The impetus for Hinkins' call for action came from Ruby Franke's estranged husband, Kevin, who approached the lawmaker, urging him to investigate the qualifications required to become a life coach. Shockingly, Hinkins discovered that there are no mandatory qualifications, creating a concern that unqualified life coaches may be adversely affecting families for an extended period.    One alarming aspect highlighted by the case is the potentially misleading titles used by life coaches. The Connexions Classroom website, which remains operational, describes Ruby Franke as a "certified mental fitness trainer." Sen. Hinkins expressed concern over such titles, stating, "It's just a title that somebody could make up and makes it sound professional, when it's really probably not."    Furthermore, while some online classes offer what they call "mental fitness training," state law currently allows individuals like Franke to use such titles without any mandatory background training or qualifications. Hinkins emphasized, "I don't think there's anything that stops her from saying that, and I don't know that she's had any background training to be that."    Former clients of Connexions Classroom have accused Franke and company founder Jodi Hildebrandt of employing shaming tactics designed to create divisions within families. One client, Trey Warner, shared a disturbing example, where a man believed he was a danger to his family merely because he had a momentary lapse of concentration. Warner recalled, "This guy got his own apartment and separated from his family because he was a 'danger.'"    The critical issue at hand is the lack of regulations and standards governing life coaches in Utah. Sen. Hinkins highlighted this gap, stating, "Right now, there's nothing regulating [them]. They can tell people to do anything they want, and there's no recourse." He believes that individuals professing to be life coaches should be subject to criteria to establish credibility and protect the well-being of their clients.    Officials from the Utah Division of Professional Licensing declined an on-camera interview but sent a text response, acknowledging the absence of licensure requirements for life coaches in the state. They noted that some complaints involve former licensed behavioral health practitioners who lost their licenses and now operate as life coaches, providing services that may be illegal.    Sen. Hinkins clarified that the bill he intends to draft is in its early stages and aims to strike a balance between providing oversight and ensuring that people can offer advice to their family members when requested. He plans to collaborate closely with the Utah Division of Professional Licensing to develop effective legislation that addresses these concerns.    The child abuse case involving Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt has underscored the need for clearer standards and oversight within the life coaching industry, as Utah seeks to protect its residents from potentially harmful advice and practices.

A newly announced docuseries by Peacock, focusing on the ex-wife and family of suspected Long Island serial killer Rex Heuermann, has ignited a firestorm of controversy. The project, which has drawn the involvement of 50 Cent's G-Unit Productions, has raised concerns from authorities and outraged some families of potential victims tied to the case.    Camera crews have been actively filming at the residence of Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's ex-wife, and have even followed her to one of Heuermann's recent court hearings. Ellerup, who is central to the docuseries, is reportedly being compensated for her participation, though the exact sum remains undisclosed. Speculation suggests she could receive as much as $1 million, with additional payments allocated to her lawyer and her children's attorney. Notably, G-Unit Productions and Peacock have not yet responded to requests for comments on this matter.    Departing Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison expressed his discontent, stating, "This docuseries is a smack at the family members who lost a loved one." Suffolk County prosecutor Ray Tierney also voiced concerns, suggesting that the project could impact Ellerup's credibility, particularly if she is called to testify in the case. Despite Ellerup not facing any charges and being out of town during the killings, investigators have uncovered potential ties to the case. A woman recently reported meeting Heuermann and Ellerup at their home in 1996 for a sex party, along with Karen Vergata, who disappeared and was later found deceased near Gilgo Beach in 2011. Furthermore, strands of Ellerup's hair found near the family home were inadvertently linked to Heuermann and the crime scene.    Ellerup's lawyer, Robert Macedonio, maintains her innocence, emphasizing that she is not privy to any details beyond what the media has reported. Macedonio stated, "She wants to believe that the spouse she's been married to for 27 years wasn't capable of these crimes. She wants to see and hear the evidence as it plays out in the courtroom." Prosecutor Tierney, however, questioned Ellerup's motives, suggesting that she might be trying to capitalize on her husband's notoriety, potentially driven by financial incentives.    In contrast, John Ray, a lawyer representing the families of two women whose remains were found on Gilgo Beach, believes Ellerup should be treated as a suspect and thoroughly investigated. He cautioned that anything she discloses to the film crew "can be used against her criminally," emphasizing that she remains within the circle of suspicion.    Sherre Gilbert, the sister of Shannan Gilbert, whose disappearance led to the discovery of other bodies on Gilgo Beach, expressed her strong opposition to the docuseries. In a social media post, she expressed disappointment and frustration, condemning the media for exploiting the families and victims of serial killers. Gilbert criticized the Ellerup's reported payday and called out all entities that have profited from her family's story while her own struggles persisted.   In addition to the Peacock project focusing on Ellerup, Netflix is also preparing a docuseries about Heuermann's arrest and the unsolved murders along Gilgo Beach. The series, directed by Liz Garbus, will examine the case against Heuermann and the unsettling disconnect between the three murders he has been charged with and the nearly dozen corpses discovered on Gilgo Beach.    Rex Heuermann, who was arrested in July, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello. The docuseries developments surrounding his ex-wife and family have added a new layer of intrigue and controversy to the ongoing investigation into these horrific crimes.

In the ever-evolving saga of Alex Murdaugh, a new development has emerged, casting further doubt on the integrity of the legal proceedings surrounding his case. Becky Hill, the South Carolina clerk of court entangled in allegations of jury tampering in the Murdaugh trial, finds her family under scrutiny as her son faces wire tampering charges. This latest twist raises questions about the influence of familial behaviors and the ethical landscape within the legal system.    Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent, joined Tony Brueski on the "Hidden Killers" podcast to dissect these recent events. The arrest of Hill's son for intercepting electronic communications adds a complex layer to an already intricate case. Dreeke points out the potential behavioral patterns within the Hill family, suggesting that abnormal behavior might spread within one's immediate environment, particularly among family members. This notion aligns with the Murdaugh family's history, where questionable actions seemed to permeate the family dynamic.    Dreeke emphasizes the challenges inherent in navigating the multitude of rules and regulations within bureaucratic systems. He argues that if one's intent is ethical and actions are reasonable, it usually garners support from the legal system. However, the recent arrest within the Hill family indicates potential systemic issues, raising the question of whether there is a deeper problem within the legal community in South Carolina.    The arrest has inevitably drawn more attention to Becky Hill, who is already defending herself against jury tampering allegations. Dreeke reflects on the impact this may have on her case, acknowledging that increased scrutiny often makes it more challenging to defend oneself. He also explores the concept of normalcy within families, where behaviors deemed unethical or even illegal might be perceived as standard due to familial conditioning.    This case also brings to light the fine line between unethical and illegal actions, particularly in gray areas where moral and ethical choices are not clearly defined. The actions of Hill's son, while possibly seen as normal within his family context, have now inadvertently intensified the focus on his mother's case.    As the Murdaugh case continues to unfold, it becomes increasingly clear that the issues at hand extend beyond individual actions. The involvement of the Hill family adds a new dimension to the narrative, suggesting a pattern of behavior that transcends a single case. It prompts a broader discussion about the influence of family dynamics and the ethical responsibilities of those in positions of trust within the legal system.    In conclusion, as Dreeke and Brueski ponder the implications of these recent developments, one cannot help but question the overall integrity of the legal proceedings in the Murdaugh case. How deep do these behavioral patterns run within the families involved, and what does it mean for the pursuit of justice in South Carolina? These questions remain at the forefront as the public eagerly awaits further revelations in this complex and multifaceted legal drama. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the ongoing Delphi murder case, the spotlight has shifted from the suspect, Richard Allen, to the courtroom dynamics, particularly the actions of Judge Gull. Bob Motta, a defense attorney and host of the podcast "Defense Diaries," recently delved into the latest developments in this complex case with Tony Brueski on the "Hidden Killers" podcast.    Motta's analysis focused on Judge Gull's recent responses to the dismissal of Allen's attorneys, Rozzi and Baldwin, revealing a tangled web of legal maneuvering. "It's like the case that never sleeps," Motta remarked, highlighting the constant stream of filings and the intricate legal procedures that have come to define the case.    According to Motta, Judge Gull's response primarily hinges on procedural arguments. She contends that Allen's defense should have sought an interlocutory appeal at the appellate court level before escalating the matter to the Supreme Court of Indiana. This procedural oversight could potentially lead the Supreme Court to dismiss the case without addressing the core issues at stake, such as the alleged mistreatment of Allen and the conduct of his defense attorneys.    Motta's interpretation of the unfolding events paints a picture of a judicial system grappling with complex procedural rules and the balancing of a defendant's rights. The case has raised significant questions about the fairness of judicial processes, particularly in high-profile cases like the Delphi murders. "You know, it's about his Sixth Amendment rights, his constitutional rights that are at stake," Motta emphasized, pointing out the fundamental legal principles involved.    The podcast discussion also touched on the broader implications of the case for the justice system. With allegations of abuse within the prison system where Allen is being held, coupled with the controversial actions of Judge Gull, the case underscores the need for transparency and accountability at every level of the legal process.    As the Delphi murder case continues to unfold, the focus remains not only on the quest for justice for the victims but also on the integrity of the legal system itself. With the Supreme Court of Indiana's decision pending, the outcome could have far-reaching consequences for how similar cases are handled in the future.    As Motta concluded, "I hope it doesn't play out that way because I really think that it's important that these two guys finish this case out for a lot of different reasons." His statement encapsulates the complexity of the situation, where the pursuit of justice for the victims is intertwined with the preservation of the legal rights of the accused.    The Delphi murder case, thus, stands at a critical juncture. Will the legal system rise to the challenge of ensuring a fair trial amidst procedural controversies and allegations of abuse? The answer to this question will not only impact Richard Allen's fate but also shape public trust in the judicial process. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The Delphi murder case, involving the prime suspect Richard Allen, has taken a distressing turn with emerging allegations of abuse and mistreatment within the walls of Westville Correctional Facility. These revelations, brought to light by inmate Robert Baston, add another layer of complexity to an already convoluted case. Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor, joined Tony Brueski on the podcast "Hidden Killers" to dissect these claims and their potential impact on the case.    Baston's reluctance to testify, citing concerns for his own safety, raises significant questions about the conditions in the correctional facility. As Rahmani points out, his statements could be a critical indicator of underlying issues. "Prisoners lie sometimes, especially convicted sex offenders. But, physical abuse does happen in correctional facilities," Rahmani acknowledged, suggesting the possibility of validity behind Baston's claims.    The conversation delved into the nature of oversight in such institutions. Rahmani highlighted the roles of independent watchdogs, like an inspector general, and the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division, in investigating and potentially rectifying such issues. He also noted the possibility of civil litigation as a recourse for inmates facing abuse. "There's a few ways to hold bad actors on the law enforcement side accountable if there is indeed some sort of abuse going on," Rahmani explained.    However, the path to justice is fraught with challenges. Rahmani pointed out the inherent risks faced by inmates like Baston, who consider speaking out against their alleged abusers. The fear of retaliation is a palpable threat that can dissuade inmates from coming forward, a concern that Baston himself seems to share.    This situation in Westville Correctional Facility, where Richard Allen is detained, complicates the already tumultuous Delphi murder case. The allegations, if true, not only cast a shadow over the integrity of the facility but also raise concerns about the treatment of inmates, including those awaiting trial, like Allen.    Rahmani's insights underscore a crucial aspect of the American criminal justice system – the need for transparent and accountable correctional facilities. As the Delphi case continues to unfold, these allegations of abuse within Westville Correctional Facility demand attention and action.    In the quest for justice in the Delphi murders, the treatment of suspects and inmates remains a critical component. As Rahmani aptly put it, "I'm not in prison. I'm not dealing with these types of abusive guards, at least allegedly. So, it's a question of, are they willing to, just like any other testimony, right? If you're testifying against someone in court, it could be a co-defendant, it could be a guard. You know, there is always that fear of retaliation and that's real."    The Delphi murder case has evolved beyond a mere criminal investigation, touching upon broader issues of human rights and the administration of justice within correctional facilities. As new details emerge, one can't help but wonder: How will these allegations influence the ongoing legal battle for Richard Allen, and what steps will be taken to ensure that justice prevails not just in the courtroom but within the walls of correctional institutions?

In a move that raises ethical questions and public outcry, Asa Ellerup, wife of the accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann, has reportedly signed a million-dollar contract with the Peacock Network for a documentary. The decision, as discussed by psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott on Tony Brueski's podcast "Hidden Killers," brings a new twist to an already complex case.    Asa Ellerup, who has remained a figure of interest and speculation since the arrest of her husband, is now at the forefront of a controversial deal. "It looks horrible," Scott stated, voicing the sentiments of many who see this move as morally questionable, especially given the suffering of the victims' families. This documentary could either be seen as a desperate financial move by a woman who finds herself in an untenable situation or as an opportunistic grab for money and attention amidst a tragedy.    Scott pondered the ethical implications of Ellerup's actions, questioning the reality of her portrayed innocence and unawareness of her husband's alleged criminal activities. The sudden shift in her behavior – from filing for divorce and expressing shock to smiling at Heuermann in court – raises doubts about her true motives.    Further complicating matters is the substantial payout to Ellerup's legal team from the documentary deal, amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars. This financial entanglement between Ellerup, her attorneys, and the documentary producers poses serious ethical questions and could potentially influence the legal advice she receives.    The discussion also delved into the legalities of profiting from crime-related media attention. While laws like the Son of Sam prevent convicted criminals from profiting off their crimes, they don't extend to family members or spouses who haven't been charged. This legal loophole allows Ellerup to potentially benefit financially from her husband's alleged heinous crimes, an outcome that many find unsettling.    Scott, while trying to empathize with Ellerup's situation, couldn't overlook the moral quandary posed by accepting a million-dollar deal in such circumstances. The psychotherapist questioned the mental health and cognitive functioning of Ellerup, suggesting that her decision-making might be clouded by factors unknown to the public.    The Peacock documentary, while potentially lucrative, carries risks for Ellerup. Her actions and words, captured on film, could provide new insights or even evidence in the ongoing investigation into her husband's alleged crimes. Drawing parallels with the documentary "The Jinx," which played a pivotal role in Robert Durst's conviction, Scott suggested that Ellerup's participation might inadvertently reveal more than she intends.    In closing, the conversation left listeners with an ethical conundrum: Is it ever justifiable for someone in Ellerup's position to profit from a tragedy, even if they might be a victim themselves? As this saga unfolds, the world watches, waiting to see how Asa Ellerup navigates the fine line between victimhood and opportunism in the shadow of the Gilgo Beach murder case.

The unfolding narrative around Richard Allen, the primary suspect in the infamous Delphi murders, has taken a disturbing turn. Recent allegations suggest a harrowing reality within the walls of the Westville Correctional Facility, where Allen is being held. These claims, voiced by fellow inmate Robert Baston, paint a bleak picture of abuse and mistreatment by the staff and guards.    In an illuminating discussion on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosted by Tony Brueski, former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer sheds light on these troubling accusations and the complexities of prison life. Baston, who had initially intended to testify about the alleged abuse, withdrew his statement citing fears for his safety. This development raises crucial questions about the oversight and conduct in correctional facilities, especially in high-profile cases like Allen's.    Coffindaffer explains the challenging dynamics within prisons, where guards often work under stressful conditions with low pay, creating a 'perfect storm' for potential conflicts and abuse. She underscores the dire need for more comprehensive monitoring, such as body-worn cameras, to protect both inmates and guards from false allegations and abuse. "This is the worst case scenario," Coffindaffer notes, emphasizing the need for effective measures to ensure safety and fairness in the penal system.    The situation in Westville Correctional Facility, as described by Baston, calls for immediate and thorough investigation. The absence of adequate surveillance and protective measures not only endangers the welfare of inmates like Allen but also casts a shadow over the integrity of the justice system. It's a stark reminder of the often-overlooked human rights issues within the penal system, especially for those awaiting trial and presumed innocent until proven guilty.    Brueski and Coffindaffer's conversation gravitates towards the broader implications of such allegations. If true, they not only reflect a failure in the prison system but also potentially jeopardize the due process for Allen. Coffindaffer raises a valid concern that if Allen is convicted, these issues could lead to an overturning of the verdict, further delaying justice for the victims.    The deterioration observed in Allen's physical and mental state, as pointed out by Coffindaffer, adds another layer of complexity to the case. The transition from a normal life to the harsh realities of prison life, especially under the alleged conditions, could have a profound impact on any individual. "It's just it would be so negatively impactful on a person," Coffindaffer remarks, highlighting the drastic change in Allen's condition.    As the case continues to unfold, the spotlight is not only on Allen's guilt or innocence but also on the conditions of his incarceration. It's a situation that begs for transparency, accountability, and reform in the prison system. The allegations, if verified, not only call for immediate action to safeguard the rights and well-being of inmates but also raise significant questions about the efficacy of the justice system in handling high-profile cases.    The Delphi murder case, with its twists and turns, underscores the urgent need for a fair and just legal process, not just for the accused but also for the victims seeking closure. As Coffindaffer aptly puts it, the ultimate goal is to see the justice system work correctly, ensuring that such administrative and procedural lapses do not hinder the path to justice for Abby and Libby, the young victims of this tragic case.    In the shadow of these grave allegations, one cannot help but ponder: Can the justice system rise to the challenge and ensure a fair trial for Richard Allen while also addressing the deeply rooted issues within the prison system? Or will these allegations be another chapter in the long history of systemic failures in the treatment of inmates, especially those yet to be proven guilty?

In a landmark decision, an Idaho judge has ruled that Chad Daybell's upcoming murder trial will be live-streamed, despite concerns raised by the prosecution about the potential for media attention to turn the proceedings into a "circus."    Judge Steven Boyce made this significant ruling following arguments from the defense, local media outlets, and the state, amending a previous camera ban that had been imposed. The decision allows cameras to be present in the courtroom during the trial, scheduled for April 1, 2024, and expected to span 8-10 weeks. However, the trial will be streamed exclusively through the court's cameras, with strict restrictions on media involvement.    Chad Daybell is facing murder charges in connection with the deaths of Lori Vallow's children, Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow, as well as his former wife, Tammy Daybell.    During Wednesday's hearing, Chad Daybell's attorney, John Prior, argued passionately in favor of allowing cameras, stating, "Cameras keep everybody honest. It keeps the system honest. It keeps the witnesses honest." He emphasized that having cameras would enable Daybell's family members, who may be unable to attend in person due to the trial's location, to watch the proceedings remotely.    Judge Boyce recognized the logistical challenges faced by those wishing to attend the trial and agreed with the defense's request. He acknowledged, "The difficulty of moving a trial 350 miles from where we are certainly creates restrictions on individuals who would like to attend."    The defense also proposed that the trial be streamed through the media, citing technical issues with the court's system. However, Judge Boyce ultimately ruled in favor of streaming the trial solely through the court's cameras.    Prosecutors argued to maintain the camera ban order to match Lori Vallow's trial, which was held without cameras earlier this year, except for the verdict, which was live-streamed on the judge's YouTube page. They expressed concerns that cameras in the courtroom could turn the case, which had already garnered significant media attention, into a "circus."    Despite these concerns, Judge Boyce made the decision to allow cameras in the courtroom, but with specific restrictions. The court will broadcast the video and audio feeds on the court's website, and still photography or microphones from any media outlet or third party will not be permitted.    In addition to the camera decision, Judge Boyce heard arguments on several pending motions that could potentially impact the upcoming trial, including a motion for a change of venue and the consideration of removing the death penalty as an option. The judge will issue written rulings on these matters at a later date, further shaping the circumstances of Chad Daybell's highly anticipated trial. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Can the dust in a room hold the key to solving crimes? This captivating question opens the door to a groundbreaking discussion between Tony Brueski, host of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, and esteemed forensic scientist and professor Dan Krane. The topic of their recent episode delves into the innovative and rapidly evolving field of Dust DNA, a concept that is reshaping the landscape of forensic investigations.    Dust DNA, as Krane explains, is an extension of environmental DNA (eDNA) testing, a technique that gained significant traction during the COVID-19 pandemic for tracking virus strains in communities. "It's an offshoot of an idea of environmental DNA testing or eDNA testing," Krane elucidates, highlighting how this method was instrumental in monitoring COVID variants. This approach, initially used to detect the presence or absence of specific biological entities, is now being adapted to forensic science, marking a pivotal evolution in the discipline.    The concept of Dust DNA is deceptively simple yet profoundly impactful. As Brueski muses, "If dust can contain our DNA if we're just entering a room, or at a crime scene of some sort. That's an interesting fingerprint right there." This analogy to a fingerprint underscores the potential of Dust DNA in crime scene investigation, providing a new avenue to gather evidence.    However, the application of Dust DNA in forensics is not without its complexities. Krane points out the challenges in using this technology for individual identification. "They're really very good for answering questions about presence or absence of something or other. They're not so good at answering questions about identification," he explains. This limitation stems from the difficulty in attaching a statistical significance to the DNA findings, a critical component in forensic evidence.    Krane further elaborates on the dual challenges facing the forensic community: the push for heightened sensitivity in DNA testing and the necessity for statistical validation. "You know, look at smaller and smaller quantities of material, and those two usually don't mesh well together," he states. This dichotomy poses a significant hurdle in the practical application of Dust DNA in forensic investigations.    The sensitivity of current DNA tests, as Krane notes, has reached its theoretical limits, able to detect DNA in minuscule quantities. Yet, this high sensitivity also brings into question the DNA's longevity and context within a given environment. Krane poses a thought-provoking scenario: "We may be able to say that there are human DNA in this room, and we may even be able to say that a certain number of individuals could be contributors, but we can't say how long their DNA has been there, what circumstances brought their DNA there."    The discussion between Brueski and Krane not only illuminates the potential of Dust DNA in forensic science but also underscores the inherent challenges and ethical considerations. As forensic technology continues to advance, it beckons us to ponder the balance between scientific innovation and its application in the justice system.    Does the future of forensic science lie in the dust around us, and if so, are we ready to interpret its silent testimony? This closing question leaves readers contemplating the profound implications of Dust DNA in both solving crimes and understanding the intricate relationship between humans and their environment.

In the labyrinth of the Delphi murder case, a new revelation has emerged, shedding light on the controversial actions of Judge Gull in the dismissal of Richard Allen's attorneys, Bradley Rozzi and Andrew Baldwin. Former federal prosecutor and attorney Neama Rahmani weighed in on this development during a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers" with Tony Brueski, offering a critical perspective on the judicial decisions that have marred the case.    The podcast unveiled a document outlining the conversation between Judge Gull and Allen's attorneys, which Rahmani scrutinized closely. His conclusion? Disagreement with Judge Gull's approach. "When the court of appeal asks for it, you better turn it over. That's a higher judge," Rahmani emphasized, questioning the rationale behind keeping such proceedings a secret.    Rahmani dissected the issue at the core of Judge Gull's decision – the alleged gross negligence of Allen's attorneys. Without an evidentiary hearing or clear-cut proof, the former prosecutor found the judge's declaration of gross negligence inappropriate. "She's not the finder of fact here," Rahmani asserted, suggesting that the issue in the case should have been the potential conflict of interest, not negligence.    The conversation took a turn towards Allen's perspective, contemplating his best course of action. Rahmani offered a strategic approach: "If I'm Richard Allen and I really want these two lawyers, this is what I say." He advocated for Allen to make a knowing and voluntary waiver of any potential conflict in open court, effectively choosing the attorney he trusts despite any alleged conflicts.    Rahmani's insight didn't stop there. He addressed the elephant in the room – whether Judge Gull should recuse herself given the convoluted nature of the case. His view? Judges make mistakes, and reversals on appeal are part of the judicial process. "I don't think a judge necessarily needs to get off the case just because they made a wrong ruling," he said, implying that the appellate courts' role is to correct such errors.    As the Delphi murder case continues to unravel, the question of justice for Richard Allen remains in the balance. The conversation with Rahmani highlights the complexities of the legal system, where judicial decisions can have far-reaching implications on the rights of the accused and the pursuit of justice.    As the case progresses, one can't help but wonder: Will Richard Allen's right to a fair trial be upheld in the face of judicial discrepancies? And how will the decisions made today shape the future of justice in high-profile cases like the Delphi murders? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Kaitlyn Coones, a 17-year-old from Canton, Ohio, is facing charges for the murder of her boyfriend's mother, 53-year-old Nicole Jones. Coones, who disappeared from her foster home on April 11, is accused of orchestrating the murder after giving her boyfriend, Jonathan Jones, an ultimatum. On Friday, a judge ruled that Coones will be tried as an adult on charges of aggravated murder, tampering with evidence, and abuse of a corpse. The Lucas County Prosecutor's Office confirmed that Coones has been "bound over to the grand jury for further proceedings." Coones reportedly moved in with Jonathan Jones, who had a prior conviction in March related to their relationship when she was 15. Allegedly, Coones instructed Jonathan to kill his mother, believing that she disapproved of their relationship and was interfering. “Kaitlyn had told Jonathan that they needed to do something about his mother because she was preventing them from being together and she gave him five hours to do something about her, and at one point in the interview, she even mentioned killing her,” Sylvania Township Police Department Detective Jake Albright said. When Jonathan failed to carry out the act, prosecutors claim that Coones took matters into her own hands. Lucas County Prosecutor Andy Lastra alleges that she bludgeoned and strangled Nicole Jones in the kitchen using a rock.  “When Nicole Jones was standing in front of the refrigerator in the kitchen, unaware of Kaitlyn's presence, she bludgeoned Nicole Jones a number of times and strangled her,” Lastra said. Jonathan, who was allegedly present in the living room during the incident, reportedly assisted Coones in disposing of his mother's body. The two then fled to Mexico, according to the U.S. Marshal Service. During the journey, Coones allegedly confessed to the murder. Patty Wardrop, an assistant prosecuting attorney, revealed that Coones contacted a case worker, admitting to "something terrible" she had done. Authorities promptly investigated Nicole's home, finding evidence consistent with Coones's account of the crime. On May 8, the U.S. Marshals Service Missing Child Unit apprehended Jonathan in Mexico. His failure to disarm a GPS tracking device, a condition of his previous conviction, reportedly aided authorities in locating him. Coones was found with him. Jonathan, who had pleaded guilty in March to endangering children and attempting to commit pandering obscenity involving a minor, now faces additional charges in connection with his mother's murder.

Callum, Harry and Dan discuss Ireland Doubling Down, The Crime of Being Tommy Robinson & New Zealand's Smoking Ban U-turn.

Keith Jesperson, the notorious "Happy Face Killer" who is serving multiple life sentences for the murders of eight women, has reportedly been corresponding with Rex Heuermann, a man accused of being the Gilgo Beach Killer. The two men are currently incarcerated, and Jesperson has been offering Heuermann advice on how to handle his case. According to the Daily Mail, which obtained some of the correspondence, Jesperson has been urging Heuermann to confess to the murders of three sex workers. Jesperson believes this would be the best course of action for Heuermann, as it would allow him to avoid a trial and the media attention that would come with it. Keith Jesperson, a convicted serial killer who is serving multiple life sentences in prison, has been corresponding with Rex Heuermann, a man accused of being the Gilgo Beach Killer.  Jesperson has been advising Heuermann on how to handle his case, suggesting that he confess to the murders and avoid a trial. In a letter to Heuermann, Jesperson wrote, "The message I'm sending him is to own it." He also said that Heuermann should confess to avoid the spectacle of a trial and to try to get to prison quickly, where conditions would be better than in jail. Heuermann thanked Jesperson for his advice and said he is considering it. "I do understand what you have said and taken it to heart," Heuermann wrote back. In addition to advising Heuermann on how to handle his case, Jesperson has also been offering him insights into life in prison. He has told Heuermann that prison food is better than jail food, and he has also offered to provide Heuermann with other information about prison life. Heuermann has expressed his gratitude to Jesperson for his help. "They have been a help and comfort to me," Heuermann wrote in one letter. It is still unclear whether or not Heuermann will follow Jesperson's advice and confess to the murders. However, Jesperson's correspondence with Heuermann is sure to raise questions about the relationship between serial killers and the justice system. Heuermann is currently awaiting trial for the murders of three sex workers. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges, but Jesperson believes he should be honest about what he did.  Only time will tell what the outcome of Heuermann's case will be. However, Jesperson's advice has made an impact on Heuermann, and it is possible that it could ultimately influence his decision-making process. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
