Podcasts about deputies

Tonight I talk to the owners Rebecca Rouse, Jocelyn Williams, and Joel Del Rosario of the newest United Grid League team The Dallas Deputies.

Three moments in the February 16 interrogation broke through Caleb Flynn's story. The first was unprompted — the detective was explaining search warrants and next steps when Caleb interrupted to say it feels like the investigation was pointing at him. Nobody had accused him. He then volunteered that he'd never laid a hand on his wife in response to a question about arguments.The second was arithmetic. Caleb told Morgan he froze for two to five minutes after the gunshots before getting up. When Morgan repeated that number in the second interview, Caleb collapsed it to five seconds — erasing a gap that would have required an explanation for what he was doing in it.The third was the gun. Caleb said his handgun was in his truck's center console inside the garage. Deputies found the console open. The gun was gone. It has never been recovered. When Morgan asked who knew the gun was there, Caleb said just his daughters and his wife — two sleeping children and a dead woman.Tony and retired FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke play each clip and break down what these cracks told the detective three days before Caleb Flynn was arrested.Caleb Flynn has pleaded not guilty to all charges. He is presumed innocent until proven otherwise.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

​On Monday, Lake County's sheriff's deputies for hours could not find a boy reported missing in unincorporated Zion. Then Deputy Kevin Lowe and his K9 Loki joined the search in the wooded area. ​Using the scent from the child's shoe, Loki led Lowe to a large area of thick brush and started barking. Deputies entered the brush and located the 12-year-old boy. "You can't replicate a K9's nose," Lowe said. "You could have all of this technology, but you can't replicate that and what they're capable of doing." The Lake County Sheriff's Office says last year, K9 teams helped find 35 missing people and criminal suspects.

Clark County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested 48-year-old Aaron Hetland following a standoff that lasted more than an hour in the Orchards area. Deputies used crisis negotiators, a drone, and less-lethal tools after observing Hetland using a knife to inflict self-harm. He was booked into Clark County Jail on three charges. https://clarkcountytoday.com/story/ccso-deputies-arrest-man-after-more-hour-long-standoff #ClarkCounty #CCSO #PublicSafety #Standoff #LawEnforcement #WashingtonState

The Hamblen County Sheriff's Office in East Tennessee is warning about scammers who place unauthorized orders on victims' Walmart accounts. Once the package arrives, someone posing as Walmart or contracted delivery staff shows up to take it back, sometimes pushing to get inside. Deputies urge residents not to hand over packages or admit anyone based on a verbal claim alone. The best defense is a habit: verify through channels you control before you ever open the door.

County uses dozens of license-plate readers Deputies with the Putnam County Sheriff's Office have used license-plate readers in Philipstown and other municipalities to nab suspects such as the gun-wielding man who robbed a gas station on Route 9D and the man who pleaded guilty to killing a taxicab driver in Southeast. But those successes are tempered by reports of misuse elsewhere, such as an Albany sheriff's investigator charged Sept. 9 with searching data captured by that county's LPR cameras to track a former girlfriend and four acquaintances. In addition, Putnam's data is stored with the Real Time Crime Center in Westchester County, whose police department is accused in a lawsuit of illegally tracking drivers and allowing access by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Amid a nationwide backlash against license-plate readers and other surveillance technologies, Putnam Sheriff Brian Hess assured the three members of the Legislature's Protective Services Committee on Sept. 9 that the county's system is used only for solving local crimes and that it flags officers if they violate prohibitions on how the data is used. As in Beacon, the Putnam cameras are not connected to the national Flock network. Police Chief Tom Figlia is scheduled to address the City Council on Monday (Sept. 21) about his agency's use of LPRs. Hess said access to the database of license-plate numbers collected by Putnam's 48 cameras is limited to his deputies; local officers from Carmel, Kent, Cold Spring and Westchester County; the New York City Police Department and state police in New York and Connecticut. Before being appointed and then elected sheriff last year, Hess commanded the Real Time Crime Center and helped build its LPR system. Under a policy approved by the Putnam Legislature in 2023, LPR data can only be searched for criminal investigations and accessed by federal or out-of-state agencies with the sheriff's approval. Deputies using the system must undergo training and are prohibited from using captured data "for personal, curiosity, financial, political or other non-official purposes," or an investigation based on "religious, political or social views or activities" or "participation in a noncriminal organization or lawful event." The policy also bans using the technology to target someone based on their ethnicity, immigration status, race, sexual orientation or exercise of First Amendment rights. Automated "audits" flag irregularities in searches, and "any misuse of any of those systems will result in discipline," said Hess. "Are there concerns? Yes. But they [cameras] are effective," he added. "We're not just collecting data to collect data." Former Sheriff Robert Langley Jr. introduced LPRs to Putnam, including the cameras mounted in 2021 on Route 9D just south of Peekskill Road, at Little Stony Point Park and in Nelsonville on Main Street (Route 301) just east of Peekskill Road. Putnam has cameras in 21 locations, with two more sites scheduled to be added. Between Jan. 1 and Aug. 11, the network issued alerts for 184 vehicles reported stolen, 27 associated with "known burglary crews" and 22 with organized retail thefts, and 17 for wanted suspects and people missing or at risk of harming themselves or others, according to a document provided to the committee by Hess and the police chiefs for Carmel and Kent. The camera near Peekskill Road helped police capture David Peres in the February 2022 armed robbery of a Gulf gas station on Route 9D; he was sentenced in December 2024 to eight years in prison. The cameras are also credited with helping deputies capture Santos Vasquez-Ramirez, a Pawling resident who in June pleaded guilty to killing a cab driver in Southeast. Hess and police in Carmel and Kent say alerts issued when cameras record the plate of a stolen vehicle or cars associated with burglary or retail-theft crews help locate suspects before they commit additional crimes. Officers also use them to investigate crimes when pol...

The Epstein jail logs from his 2008-2009 sentence in Palm Beach County showed just how unusual his incarceration was and how much access he continued to have to people from his outside life. Epstein served less than 13 months of an 18-month sentence, and after only a few months he was allowed out on work release for as much as 12 hours a day, six days a week, later expanding to even longer hours. He was driven to an office tied to the Florida Science Foundation, an entity created shortly before his incarceration, while off-duty sheriff's deputies provided security. The visitor records showed lawyers, business associates and women coming to see him, and contemporary reporting identified Sarah Kellen and Nadia Marcinkova among the visitors during his first month in custody. Both women had already been publicly associated with Epstein's operation, with Kellen accused by survivors of helping schedule and facilitate massages and Marcinkova described in reporting as one of the young women deeply embedded in his circle.The logs became even more controversial because Epstein's work-release arrangement effectively allowed him to continue receiving visitors away from the jail under remarkably loose supervision. Deputies later wrote that they were often stationed at the front desk or outside his office while “welcomed guests” were allowed inside, and the separate office visitor log was eventually destroyed under the sheriff's records-retention policy. Darren Indyke was listed as Epstein's work-release supervisor, while longtime driver and bodyguard Igor Zinoviev transported him back and forth. Later records and witness accounts also raised allegations that women were brought to Epstein during work-release hours, including one woman who told the FBI that she had sexual contact with him in his SUV while it was parked near the jail. Taken together, the logs painted a picture of a jail sentence that looked very little like ordinary incarceration: Epstein remained surrounded by lawyers, employees, associates and women from his network, and the system gave him extraordinary freedom to maintain much of that world even while he was technically behind bars.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Hour 3 (9.09) Santa Anita pulled its permit to cut 34 protected oaks for the 2028 Olympic course. Plus: Barry Melrose, who took the Gretzky Kings to the Cup Final, dead at 70. (161 characters) 8:05 — A 25-year-old was arrested Monday night near Kris Jenner's place after her private security stopped him in the neighborhood. Deputies booked him on suspicion of stalking; he's charged with one misdemeanor count of trespassing. And in Torrance, 499 condo owners each got a bill for more than $49,000 to cover $19 million in re-piping, elevators and a full podium rebuild. 8:20 — Barry Melrose has died at 70. The mullet, the suits, twenty-seven years at ESPN — but in this town he's the guy who walked in as a rookie head coach in 1992 and took Gretzky's Kings to the franchise's first Stanley Cup Final. 8:35 — Malibu declared a local emergency after a sinkhole roughly 30 by 60 feet and 25 to 30 feet deep opened in a driveway on Sea Level Drive. Down in Dana Point, eight homes on Beach Road are red-tagged and one has already been demolished. Meanwhile Santa Anita has hit pause on its permit to remove 34 protected oaks for the Olympic cross-country course, and LADOT wants to cut Sunset down to one lane each way from Silver Lake to downtown. 8:50 — The humidity is the whole story. Downtown's heat index topped out around 116 today, which is why 98 degrees felt like standing in a dryer. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Arsenal begin their Champions League campaign with a trip to Naples, and expectations are already high.We discuss what a successful European season should look like for this Arsenal side, including Elliot's belief that reaching the final has to be the minimum. That leads into a wider debate over what really represents the pinnacle of club football: winning the Champions League, or proving yourself across a 38-game Premier League season.Attention then turns to Napoli and how Arsenal should approach one of the more hostile away environments in Europe. We look at the importance of controlling the opening stages, taking the crowd out of the game and avoiding the kind of early mistakes that can completely change the contest.There is also plenty of discussion around Mikel Arteta's squad management, possible rotation, the options available across midfield and defence, and why Riccardo Calafiori continues to offer something different to this Arsenal team.We finish with our team selections and predictions ahead of Napoli away.Continue the discussion with us.Follow The NN Pod for more Arsenal and football content.All our links: https://beacons.ai/thennpodChapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(01:12) - Napoli, Naples & the Maradona Legacy(02:53) - Arsenal's Champions League Expectations(04:37) - Premier League vs Champions League: What's the True Pinnacle?(08:41) - Napoli: History, Atmosphere & the Threat(10:14) - Massimiliano Allegri & Napoli's Start to the Season(11:39) - Kevin De Bruyne, Rasmus Højlund & Familiar Faces(14:06) - How Napoli Play: Dangerous Attack, Vulnerable Defence(15:24) - Should Arsenal Be Winning This Game?(17:40) - Predicted Arsenal Line-Up(19:55) - Jurrien Timber's Return & Defensive Rotation(21:13) - Calafiori or Hincapié at Left-Back?(23:22) - Why Riccardo Calafiori Changes Arsenal(26:49) - Arteta's New Challenge: Managing the Squad(33:43) - Arsenal's Midfield Depth & Ødegaard's Deputies(35:44) - Tactics: Quiet the Crowd, Then Take Over(37:57) - Other Champions League Games to Watch(42:39) - How High Is Arsenal's Ceiling?(43:46) - Closing Thoughts

In January 2015, a call of an unconscious female came into the Santa Clara County Sheriff's office in Palo Alto, California. Deputies responded to a fraternity house on the Stanford campus and found an unresponsive woman who had been sexually assaulted, lying on the ground outside, behind a dumpster. The suspect was a freshman at Stanford, and the trial and sentencing that followed would make national news.

Deputies thought they were responding to a routine welfare check at a shared house in Spotsylvania, Virginia. Instead, they discovered three roommates dead and one of the people who lived there, 23-year-old Alyssa Venable, was nowhere to be found. Investigators say Venable had moved into the house only weeks earlier. By the time police arrived, she had cut her hair, left Virginia and was heading north in a silver Honda Civic. What followed was a multi-state search, stolen license plates and a high-speed police chase stretching more than 40 miles before Venable was finally taken into custody. But it was what investigators learned afterwards about the days leading up to the deaths, and what Venable allegedly told another inmate, that revealed just how disturbing the case really was.

Ten years after the 2016 killer clown panic, Weekly Spooky's Thursday Thrills returns to the creepy clown sightings that began near Fleetwood Manor Apartments in Greenville County, South Carolina. In August 2016, children and residents reported clowns in the woods—mysterious figures allegedly displaying money, flashing green lights or lasers, making strange noises, and trying to persuade children to follow them toward an abandoned house near a pond. Deputies searched the wooded area and increased patrols, but contemporary reporting says they found no clown, no costume, no hidden camp, and no physical evidence proving the earliest claims.The story did not remain an unexplained neighborhood scare for long. Television coverage, online reporting, recycled photographs, viral videos, and social media carried the South Carolina reports across the country. Soon, new killer clown sightings were being reported in other towns and states. Police investigated clown-related threats, schools responded to rumors and hoaxes, public events changed plans, and deliberate copycats began wearing clown masks near roads, schools, apartment complexes, and darkened tree lines.The earliest reports may never have been substantiated—but the fear surrounding them produced very real consequences. People were arrested in connection with false reports, threats, trespassing, weapons, and public intimidation. What may have begun as a misunderstanding, rumor, prank, or unidentified encounter became a nationwide case of mass panic. The scary clown urban legend was no longer merely a story people shared online. Frightened strangers began putting on costumes and performing the nightmare themselves.On the tenth anniversary of the panic, Henrique Couto follows the true story behind the clown sightings from Greenville County to documented copycat incidents in Kentucky and Alabama, an Ohio false report, Penn State's enormous student clown hunt, corporate reactions from Target and McDonald's, and the international spread of the craze. Were there ever really clowns hiding in those first South Carolina woods? Or did America become so frightened of the story that people began supplying their own masks, threats, and terrifying encounters?As Halloween approaches and the 2026 spooky season begins, this carefully sourced Halloween podcast episode blends horror history, internet folklore, spooky stories, urban legends, unexplained sightings, and the eerie real-world consequences of viral fear. It is a perfect listen for fans who come to Weekly Spooky for weekly horror stories, creepy mysteries, scary Halloween stories, modern folklore, and the clown panic explained without rumor being presented as established fact.Maybe there was never a clown waiting in those first South Carolina woods. Maybe there was. But once the story escaped, the legend no longer needed to be true. It only needed enough people to believe it—and enough others willing to become it.

David Anthony Burke sat in the same church pew as Celeste Rivas Hernandez's family. He traveled with them to Las Vegas. Her sister came along. The parents signed a notarized travel consent form sending their thirteen-year-old to London with him. And then, after Burke's arrest for Celeste's murder, her father told reporters through his attorney that he'd never had any contact with the singer.Former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down the evidence that surfaced during the five-day preliminary hearing about what Celeste's parents knew, what they signed, and what they denied — and whether California's child endangerment statute gives prosecutors a path to charging the adults who allegedly facilitated everything that happened to their daughter.Testimony showed Celeste was pregnant at thirteen. A teacher reported concerns. Deputies visited Burke's home. Nobody with authority acted on what they found. Faddis on who bears legal responsibility beyond the defendant.Burke has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is held without bail.

Five days of preliminary hearing testimony contradicted every word of it.Detective Farell testified the parents knew. Burke attended the family's church. Celeste's sister traveled with them to Las Vegas. A notarized consent form bearing the parents' signatures sent their thirteen-year-old daughter to London with a grown man.

The preliminary hearing in the d4vd murder case put the spotlight somewhere nobody expected — on Celeste Rivas Hernandez's own family. LAPD Detective Corey Farell testified that the parents knew about Burke's relationship with their daughter. He attended their church. The sister traveled with them. They signed a notarized form for their thirteen-year-old to fly overseas with a grown man.Then her father told reporters he'd never had contact with Burke.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines whether that contradiction carries legal weight — and whether parents who allegedly knew about and facilitated their daughter's contact with the man prosecutors say killed her face criminal exposure under California law.According to testimony, Celeste was pregnant at thirteen. A teacher warned authorities. Deputies showed up at Burke's door and left satisfied. The people with the least power tried the hardest to protect this child. Faddis on what that means for the people who had the most.Burke has pleaded not guilty. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Live conversation on the Siders case with Robin Dreeke, the retired FBI special agent who ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program.Here is the line that started it. Ohio's attorney general described what he had seen inside the Hamden home where sixteen children were found. If law enforcement had waited a certain amount of time longer, he said, there was a very high probability of a death or multiple deaths.Deputies were not even looking for children when they arrived. The warrant came out of an unrelated investigation.Sixteen kids, from eighteen months old to eighteen years old, came out of that house. The sheriff said they had been kept for most of four years in a room measuring roughly twelve feet by twelve feet and said most of the livestock in his county lived better. The attorney general called it pure evil and said the children looked like almost feral animals.Four adults, each charged with sixteen counts of endangering children. Four not guilty pleas.Now hold the other side. Elizabeth Siders was fifteen and seven months pregnant when a judge and both sets of parents approved her marriage in 2008. Her attorney says the case is about poverty and isolation, not evil, and that evil requires malice. Seventeen years later she is charged alongside the people who signed for her.Dreeke and Tony argue through all of it, including how a town of roughly seven hundred people, plus relatives who say they visited, could miss what was in that room.Bring your take. This one gets debated live.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Strip out the forensics for one segment. Prosecutors allege Burke connected with Celeste online, through gaming, while he was still in high school in Texas. Deputies would eventually stand in front of him and tell him her age out loud. The machine around him never blinked.Live conversation about the part of the d4vd case that has nothing to do with forensics. Tony and Robin go all the way back to the beginning — before the charges, before the streams, before anybody outside a gaming lobby knew the name.A homeschooled kid. Gospel music only until thirteen. An entire social world that existed on a screen. A mother who told him to quit complaining about copyright strikes and make something of his own. A record deal at seventeen while he was still in high school.And then the alter ego. Burke named him Itami, which means pain, and described him publicly as an agent of chaos — an evil version of himself who commits the murders that Burke's detective character then has to solve. He compared it to Fight Club without anyone prompting him.He filmed the character holding a bloody knife. He animated the character taking a woman's arm. He released a video in which he drags a body and puts it into a car.Now hold the other side of it, because it is a real argument. Artists make violent work constantly. It proves nothing on its own. Nobody is a killer because they wrote a song.Except prosecutors allege this man did what the character did.So the live question is where dark art ends and something else begins, and whether an industry that valued this young man in the millions and sold his darkness as a brand owns any piece of what came next.Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen. Come argue about it.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Every red flag in the Celeste Rivas Hernandez case got logged by somebody, and not one of them connected the dots in time. Tony Brueski breaks down the full D4vd case for True Crime Today, starting with a welfare check that should have ended very differently. Celeste was reported missing from Lake Elsinore three times in early 2024. That led Riverside County deputies to musician David Burke's phone number, and LA County deputies to his West Hollywood front door. Burke showed them a yearbook photo and claimed he'd met her only once. Deputies told him plainly that she was thirteen and a runaway, then left without further action. Prosecutors allege what came next was deliberate. Burke is accused of paying one of Celeste's junior high classmates a thousand dollars to hand her a new phone so contact could continue uninterrupted. Over the following year, prosecutors say she traveled with him to Las Vegas, London, and Texas, met his family, got matching tattoos, and had his name on her ring finger, all while still in seventh grade. The case takes an even stranger turn when you look at Burke's own music. His breakout single, the album it's from, and the alter ego he built around both all echo the allegations prosecutors are now making about a Hollywood Hills home. Seven months passed between investigators finding Celeste's remains and Burke's arrest, a stretch that included three grand jury panels, a friend fleeing to Montana to avoid a subpoena, and Burke's family fighting the grand jury in a Texas courtroom. He now faces first-degree murder with special circumstances, including lying in wait, murder for financial gain, and murder of a witness. That financial gain allegation is the piece prosecutors say ties everything back to Burke's career. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sixteen kids. One small house in Hamden, Ohio. And a discovery that had nothing to do with anyone whose job it was to notice. Deputies in Vinton County went to that property to serve a warrant tied to something else entirely. Ohio's Attorney General has been direct about it — nobody on that call expected children to be there. The school district had zero record of any of these kids. The oldest, eighteen years old, reportedly can't write her own name, a fact that tells you exactly how far outside every system she'd been living. Tony Brueski works through the people who lived around that house too. Retail workers describe years of small, specific details — clothing, hygiene, unusual closing-time errands — details they can now recite in full but somehow never reported at the time. A neighbor seventy feet from the property maintains he never saw a child there across six years. A psychotherapist unpacks the mental shortcuts — the kind everyone uses — that turn a nagging feeling into something easy to ignore. Four adults now face sixteen counts each of second-degree felony child endangering, all pleading not guilty, with no indictment returned so far. From there the episode pulls back to the bigger, uglier machine: a mandated-reporter system that assigns duty without consequence, a funding structure built to reward states for removing children rather than finding them, and a comparable failure out of Washington, D.C., where four girls died inside a system a federal judge had watched over for nineteen years. An accident found these kids. The episode asks what it would take for a system to do it on purpose. Social Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sixteen children were living in a house in Hamden, Ohio, and for years the people closest to that house managed not to see a single one of them. That's the part of the Siders case Tony Brueski won't let go of. It starts with an accident. Deputies in Vinton County went to that address to serve a warrant on an unrelated matter — not a welfare check, not a tip about children. Ohio's Attorney General has confirmed nobody expected to find kids inside. The school district had no enrollment records for any of them. The oldest is eighteen and, according to investigators, couldn't write her own name. Then the neighborhood starts talking. Store employees describe years of odd details — the clothing, the hygiene, the closing-time shopping trips — all recalled with perfect clarity only after arrests made the news. A man who lived seventy feet from that house says he never once saw a child there in six years. A psychotherapist breaks down the exact mental shortcuts behind that kind of blindness, and why they're not unique to this town. Four adults are charged with sixteen counts each of second-degree felony child endangering. All four have entered not-guilty pleas. No indictment has come down yet. From there, Tony widens the lens: a mandated-reporter system built on duty with almost no teeth behind it, a child-welfare funding model that rewards removal over discovery, and a case out of Washington, D.C. where four girls died inside a system a federal judge had personally overseen for nineteen years. Sixteen kids, found by luck. Ask yourself what it would've taken to find them on purpose. Social Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two sheriff's departments, one phone call, and a yearbook photo, that's as close as anyone came to stopping what happened to Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Tony Brueski lays out the full D4vd case for Hidden Killers, starting with the welfare check that should have changed everything and didn't. Celeste was reported missing from Lake Elsinore three separate times in early 2024. Riverside County deputies traced her phone records back to musician David Burke and called him. LA County deputies then went to Burke's West Hollywood home. He showed them a yearbook photo, claimed he'd met her once, and deputies told him straight to his face that she was thirteen and a runaway. Then they walked out the door. Prosecutors say what followed was calculated. Burke allegedly paid one of Celeste's junior high classmates a thousand dollars to slip her a new phone so contact never had to stop. Over the next year, she reportedly traveled with him to Las Vegas, London, and Texas, met his family, got matching tattoos, and had his name on her ring finger, all while she was still in seventh grade. Then there's the art. D4vd's biggest song, his album title, and the alter ego built around it all echo what prosecutors now allege took place inside a Hollywood Hills home. Seven months separated the discovery of Celeste's remains from Burke's arrest. Three grand jury panels heard testimony in that window. A friend fled to Montana to dodge a subpoena, and Burke's own family fought the grand jury in a Texas courtroom rather than answer questions. He now faces first-degree murder with special circumstances, including lying in wait, murder for financial gain, and murder of a witness. Prosecutors say the financial gain charge points directly at motive tied to Burke's public career. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A house in Hamden, Ohio held sixteen children the State of Ohio didn't know it had. That's where this one starts, and it doesn't get easier from there. Deputies in Vinton County weren't hunting for kids the day they knocked. They were serving a warrant on something unrelated, and the state's own Attorney General has said outright that nobody walked in expecting to find children. No school district had these kids on record. No neighbor had ever flagged them. The oldest is eighteen years old and, per investigators, still can't write her own name — a detail that says everything about how long this went unnoticed. Tony spends real time on what happened around that house, not just inside it. Store clerks noticed years of small warning signs and only put the pieces together once arrests hit the news. One neighbor, living seventy feet away, insists he never saw a single child there in six years — and probably means it. A psychotherapist explains the specific psychological wiring that lets people witness something wrong and file it under someone else's problem, again and again, without ever registering the choice. Four adults are facing sixteen counts each of second-degree felony child endangering. Each has pleaded not guilty. No indictment has been handed up. Then the episode zooms out to the system itself — a mandated-reporter law with no real enforcement, a funding formula that pays states for taking children but nothing for finding them, and a parallel case in Washington, D.C. that shows this failure isn't confined to one small county. The kids were found. The system that was supposed to find them wasn't the reason why. Social Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A thirteen-year-old went missing three times, and two different sheriff's departments still couldn't stop what happened to her. Tony Brueski walks through the entire D4vd case for Hidden Killers Live, from the welfare check nobody escalated to the charges that followed. Celeste Rivas Hernandez disappeared from Lake Elsinore three times in early 2024 before her parents' reports led Riverside County deputies to musician David Burke's phone number. LA County deputies handled the welfare check at his West Hollywood home, where Burke pulled up a yearbook photo and said he barely knew her. Deputies confirmed her age and runaway status to his face, then left, closing out a report that should have triggered far more scrutiny than it did. According to prosecutors, that's when things accelerated. Burke allegedly paid a classmate of Celeste's a thousand dollars to deliver her a new phone so the two could keep talking. Over the year that followed, prosecutors say she traveled with him across the country and overseas, met his family, got matching tattoos, and wore his name on her ring finger while still in middle school. The unsettling part doesn't end there. D4vd's most successful song, the album it came from, and the persona built around both all mirror what prosecutors now allege happened inside a Hollywood Hills home. Seven months passed between the discovery of Celeste's remains and Burke's eventual arrest, during which three grand jury panels convened, a friend of Burke's fled to Montana to avoid testifying, and his family fought the grand jury process in Texas. Burke is now charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances, including lying in wait, murder for financial gain, and murder of a witness. That financial gain allegation ties the charges directly to Burke's career and public image. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Siders family in Hamden, Ohio, spent eighteen years as a family nobody on Ohmer Street could name. Then a Vinton County deputy showed up to serve a misdemeanor warrant and found sixteen children packed into a five-room house — some who'd never spoken a word, never learned to read, never seen the inside of a school.The Attorney General didn't mince words: "pure evil," conditions where another day might have meant deaths. The sheriff said the family's livestock had it better than the kids did. Four adults now face sixty-eight felony counts of child endangerment, and a grand jury hasn't even weighed in yet. The word the AG chose — intrafamilial — is doing a lot of quiet, heavy lifting in this case.What makes it land harder is how avoidable it should have been. Sixteen hospital births over eighteen years, roughly one every thirteen months, and not a single doctor or nurse raised a flag. Ohio gutted its homeschool oversight back in 2023, so no truancy officer ever came knocking. And Elizabeth Siders — one of the four adults now charged — was herself married at fifteen, with a judge's approval, in a state that sets no minimum age for marriage at all.Tony walks through how a household of eighteen people stayed invisible to hospitals, schools, and courts for two decades, and what it says about a state that keeps building the very blind spots that let this happen. This is the case that turns a routine warrant into a reckoning for three different institutions at once.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The officers who found the Siders children came to that house for something else entirely.Sixteen kids in Hamden, Ohio. Deputies at the front door on a warrant that had nothing to do with any of them. Ohio's Attorney General has said flatly that nobody knew there would be children inside. No school record. No neighbor who knew. No caseworker who had ever been out.The oldest of the sixteen is eighteen years old, and investigators said she could not write her own name. Court records indicate she was born when her mother was only fifteen. Ohio wrote that baby's name onto a birth certificate and filed it, and years later that paper is still in a county drawer, never looked at again.Tony Brueski asks what should be the only question anyone is asking: who was actually supposed to find her? He walks through a mandated-reporter system that carries a duty and almost no penalty for ignoring it, so a birth to a fifteen-year-old can pass without a single alarm going off. He holds up one comparison from Washington, D.C., where four girls were found dead nineteen years into a federal judge's supervision of that city's child welfare system. And he follows a ten-billion-dollar federal program whose money switches on the instant a child is removed, and never once switches on to go find one.All four Siders adults have pleaded not guilty to sixteen counts each of second-degree felony child endangering. No indictment has been returned.Sixteen children were found by accident. There is no accident coming for the rest of them.End LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

An eighteen-year-old who can't write her own name. A fifteen-year-old bride married off by a judge while seven months pregnant. Sixteen children found in a twelve-by-twelve room covered in human waste in a village of seven hundred people where neighbors say they never saw a single kid. The Siders case isn't one failure. It's every failure at once.Deputies in Vinton County, Ohio, showed up at 182 Ohmer Street to serve a misdemeanor warrant on Gary Siders Jr. They found sixteen children ages eighteen months to eighteen years in conditions the Attorney General called "pure evil." Four adults now face sixty-eight felony counts of child endangerment. The AG says if they'd arrived a day later, children would likely have died. And the word he used to describe the case — intrafamilial — has former prosecutors saying this investigation is heading somewhere no one expected.None of those kids were enrolled in school. Ohio's homeschool oversight was gutted in 2023. All sixteen were born at hospitals over eighteen years — one delivery roughly every thirteen months — and no medical professional raised a flag. The family moved across multiple Ohio counties, resetting the clock with every jurisdiction. Elizabeth Siders was married at fifteen in a state with no minimum marriage age. Her brother says she was "indoctrinated" and estranged from her family for fifteen years. The system that handed her over as a child is the same one that missed her own children for nearly two decades.

D4vd murder case: how did two sheriff's departments have David Burke's name, number, and address in a missing child investigation and still fail to protect Celeste Rivas Hernandez? She was thirteen. She was reported missing three times. Deputies called Burke, went to his home, and confronted him with her age. What they did with that information — and what they didn't do — is the center of this episode.Prosecutors allege Burke paid a thousand dollars to one of Celeste's junior high classmates to give her a replacement phone after her parents cut off contact. Over the following year, she allegedly traveled with him to Las Vegas, London, and Texas. She met his family. She had matching tattoos with him. She had his name permanently inked on her ring finger.This is the first of three parts in a Hidden Killers investigation into the D4vd case — and the adults who allegedly let every red flag pass.LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The People's Brief filed against David Anthony Burke represents the prosecution's most detailed public articulation of its theory to date. Deputy DA Beth Silverman put on the record a timeline, specific digital evidence, a sequence of events on the night prosecutors allege Celeste Rivas Hernandez died, and forensic findings that allegedly connect items purchased by the defendant to the condition of the victim's remains. The defense characterized the filing as "entirely one-sided" and sought unsuccessfully to have it sealed. This look back examines what the filing reveals about the evidentiary foundation of the case.According to the prosecution's filing, the alleged relationship began when Celeste was eleven and escalated over several years. Deputies conducted a welfare check during which Burke was informed directly that she was thirteen; prosecutors allege he continued the relationship regardless. By fourteen, she was reportedly traveling with Burke to multiple cities and states. The filing describes specific communications pulled from Burke's cloud accounts, a purchase timeline prosecutors allege demonstrates premeditation, and the forensic link between items allegedly ordered by the defendant and the physical evidence found with Celeste's remains.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer analyzes the filing from a federal investigative perspective — how the alleged pattern connects to the motive theory, what the welfare check should have produced systemically, and how the digital-evidence volume reportedly recovered from Burke's devices strengthens or complicates the prosecution's position. Burke faces first-degree murder with special circumstances, additional charges related to the victim's age, and a count related to the condition of her remains. He has pleaded not guilty.

Deputies conducted a welfare check and told David Anthony Burke directly that Celeste Rivas Hernandez was thirteen years old. According to the prosecution's filing, he continued anyway. This look back examines what the People's Brief puts on the record about the timeline prosecutors intend to prove — and what that welfare check should have triggered but didn't.The filing describes a pattern that allegedly began when Celeste was eleven and escalated over years. By fourteen, according to prosecutors, she was traveling with Burke and spending time at his Hollywood Hills home while his circle reportedly believed she was an adult. When her parents intervened and took her phone, prosecutors say Burke drove to her hometown and paid a classmate to deliver a replacement. She was reported missing twice before the events prosecutors allege ended her life.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down how patterns like this allegedly unfold — the escalation, the isolation, the progressive normalization that keeps the people around a situation from seeing what's happening. She examines what law enforcement's welfare check was supposed to accomplish and why it failed to protect Celeste. She connects the alleged timeline directly to the prosecution's murder motive: that Burke allegedly killed Celeste because she was threatening to expose a relationship that could end his career. Burke has pleaded not guilty. The defense called the filing "entirely one-sided" and attempted to have it sealed.
