The cruelest twist in the Joseph Duggar case has nothing to do with a courtroom. The family that reported him did not just lose their home — the fallout reached all the way into their own household. When Kendra Duggar's relatives went to the police over a child who had been harmed, it split the family in two. This Joseph Duggar update is about the people who paid for telling the truth.Start with the facts. Joseph Duggar, thirty-one, faces two felony counts in Bay County, Florida — one a life felony involving a girl who was nine years old at the time of a 2020 family trip. He has pleaded not guilty. Police say he admitted the conduct twice, including on a recorded call. His parents paid the six-hundred-thousand-dollar bond.The relatives who reported him are the Caldwells. Her father is a Baptist pastor who once stood at the center of Kendra's life. They chose a child's safety over silence — and the person closest to them reportedly chose the other side.This episode is about loyalty pointed in the wrong direction. Four counts, four children, and a set of locks. A family that did everything right and lost almost everything for it. And a rift running straight through a household that used to be whole.How deep that rift goes is the piece I am saving for the video. Come see 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?

Lindsay Clancy called crisis lines, went to emergency rooms, checked herself into hospitals, and took thirteen different medications from five different providers over four months. Her defense argues every one of those interventions made her worse instead of better.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, sits down with Tony Brueski to examine the prescribing chain at the center of this case. The medications included benzodiazepines, antidepressants, an antipsychotic, and a sedative. Her husband Patrick told providers she was becoming a different person and begged them to stop. They increased the dose. The civil lawsuit filed by both Lindsay and Patrick describes providers who operated independently — no shared records, no coordinated treatment plan, no complete medication reconciliation.She was turned away from a suicide hotline because she had no specific plan. She waited three days in a psychiatric hospital before seeing a doctor. A nurse practitioner reportedly never returned a follow-up call from a referring facility.Shavaun addresses the question at the center of this segment — whether what happened to Lindsay is a catastrophic failure unique to her case or whether short appointments, revolving prescriptions, and fragmented provider networks are simply what postpartum mental health care looks like in this country. The answer determines whether the system bears responsibility for what happened to those three children.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott discuss the Lindsay Clancy case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy is standing trial in Plymouth, Massachusetts, for the deaths of her three young children. Her defense centers on postpartum psychosis. The prosecution says her actions that day were deliberate and planned.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, walks through the clinical reality with Tony Brueski. The conversation starts with what the public gets wrong — and most of the public gets it wrong. Baby blues affect the majority of new mothers and resolve on their own. Postpartum depression is a clinical mood disorder affecting roughly one in seven. Postpartum psychosis is a psychiatric emergency affecting one to two women per thousand births. These are not the same illness at different volumes. Psychosis involves a rupture from reality.Lindsay's providers allegedly charted intrusive thoughts when she was reporting a male voice commanding her to harm her children. Those two presentations carry completely different clinical weight. After the killings, a forensic evaluation diagnosed her with Bipolar I — a condition her providers had considered but never confirmed. Antidepressants prescribed for the wrong diagnosis can trigger the very psychosis the defense is now building its case around.Shavaun explains the spectrum, where the line between depression and psychosis falls, and why a woman in psychosis can build snowmen with her kids in the morning and be catastrophically disconnected from reality by that evening.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott discuss postpartum psychosis and the Lindsay Clancy case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Everyone heard "grand jury" and filled in the rest themselves. Charges must be coming. Someone is about to be arrested. The system is finally moving. Except the Jackson County DA clarified the same day: referring a case to a grand jury is the default pathway when a death in the county cannot be readily explained. The referral itself does not mean law enforcement suspects foul play.This episode cuts through the noise and explains what a Mississippi grand jury actually does. Not the social media interpretation. The real one — where a panel of citizens convened by a circuit court judge reviews evidence in a sealed proceeding and decides whether probable cause exists to bring formal charges.Probable cause is the lowest bar in the system. Clearing it does not produce a guilty verdict. It produces a formal charge — an indictment — and the case then moves to a trial with an entirely different jury and a much higher standard of proof.What makes the grand jury significant in this case is a tool most observers skip past: the authority to subpoena witnesses. Every person summoned enters that sealed room individually. They swear an oath. Their lawyer stays outside. And the questions they face carry legal consequences if they lie. In a case where the group that went to Horn Island with Nolan has offered stories that directly contradict a separate witness, that forced testimony — solo, sworn, behind closed doors — could produce clarity that no press conference ever will.Autopsy results from two separate examinations remain outstanding. The agreed-upon joint review of Nolan's cellphone data has not occurred. Witness accounts remain unreconciled. Whether the grand jury has what it needs to act depends on how much of that evidence is assembled before the case lands on their table.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy murder trial — prosecutors want a jury to look at her résumé and conclude she understood exactly what she was doing.She was a labor and delivery nurse. That is the fact the Commonwealth wants to sit in front of the jury while it argues deliberate premeditation. A woman who worked in maternal health knew the language, knew the screening tools, and knew how to present. Kevin Reddington's response is that she used all of that knowledge to ask for help, repeatedly and specifically, and the system handed her prescriptions and a discharge paper instead.This is the full three-part conversation between Tony Brueski and criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta covering the entire case.The first segment goes through the prosecution's evidence — the timing of a takeout order, an errand, and a note on her phone that a prosecutor read out loud in open court. The second examines what is left of the defense after the pretrial rulings, including the decision to keep women who have survived postpartum psychosis off the stand, and the roughly thirteen psychiatric medications her attorney says she was prescribed over about four months. The third takes on the justice question directly: what a verdict is supposed to accomplish when both outcomes end in confinement, and why the people who wrote those prescriptions will only ever face a civil claim.Patrick Clancy buried three children, asked the world to forgive his wife, sued her doctors, and will take the witness stand.Cora was five. Dawson was three. Callan was eight months old. This trial is going to make a lot of people pick a side they did not expect to pick.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The facts in the Lindsay Clancy case are not in dispute. She killed her three children. Her defense admits it. Her husband admits it. The question splitting the public is whether she is a murderer or a casualty — and Shavaun Scott tells Tony Brueski why almost nobody watching can sit with the possibility that both might be true.The prosecution says Lindsay timed her husband's departure. The defense says she was terrified to be alone. The public picks a side and digs in. Shavaun explains why the binary — planned or psychotic, monster or patient — is the wrong framework for understanding what happened, and why the discomfort people feel when confronted with a more complicated answer says more about how we process mental illness than it does about Lindsay Clancy.Dozens of women wanted to tell the jury about their own psychosis — the voices, the commands. The judge blocked their testimony. Shavaun addresses what that means for jurors who have never encountered the condition they are being asked to evaluate. She compares the public response to Lindsay with the response to Andrea Yates and asks what decides which women the audience is willing to believe.The conversation closes on what Patrick Clancy said — that he was not married to a monster but to someone who got sick — and what justice looks like when the person and the illness cannot be cleanly separated.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, discuss the Lindsay Clancy case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Joseph Duggar case keeps drawing comparisons to 2003 — and the family at the center of it is the reason why. When Kendra Duggar's relatives discovered a child had been harmed, they made the call the Duggars never made a generation ago. This is the Joseph Duggar update that shows exactly what that kind of courage costs.Here are the facts. Joseph Duggar, thirty-one, seventh of nineteen Duggar children, faces two felony counts in Bay County, Florida — one a life felony involving a girl who was nine years old at the time. He has pleaded not guilty. Police say he admitted it twice, including on a recorded call. His parents posted the six-hundred-thousand-dollar bond.The relatives who went to police are the Caldwells, the family Kendra grew up in. Her father is a Baptist pastor. In 2003, when this family faced a nearly identical crisis with a different son, the answer was a quiet talk with a family friend instead of a police report. That friend is now serving fifty-six years. The Caldwells chose the opposite path. And they are still paying for it.This episode follows what happens to the people who refuse to look away. Four counts in Arkansas. Four children. A set of locks. And a price the Caldwells paid that goes well beyond a house or a paycheck.What that price is, I will leave for the video.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Before January 24, 2023, Lindsay Clancy had done everything a struggling mother is supposed to do. She sought treatment. She called hotlines. She admitted herself to hospitals. She filled every prescription. The defense argues the system that was supposed to save her chemically destabilized her instead.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott sits down with Tony Brueski to examine what was happening to Lindsay clinically — not the legal arguments but the treatment. Thirteen medications over four months from providers who allegedly were not sharing records or coordinating care. Three benzodiazepines. An antipsychotic her husband said made her ten thousand times worse. Dosages that went up when the family was begging for them to come down.Lindsay called a suicide hotline and was turned away. She spent three days in a psychiatric hospital before being evaluated. Her nurse practitioner allegedly never returned a follow-up call from a referring facility. The malpractice lawsuit filed by both Lindsay and Patrick Clancy describes a prescribing chain where each provider treated a fragment of her condition without seeing the whole picture.Shavaun walks through what thirteen medications do to a brain that was never properly diagnosed, why seventeen-minute appointments produce prescriptions instead of answers, and whether the pattern that failed Lindsay is unique to her case or standard practice in postpartum mental health care.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, discuss the Lindsay Clancy case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Lindsay Clancy is on trial for the murders of her three children in Duxbury, Massachusetts. Her defense concedes she killed them. They argue she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis and could not appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions. The prosecution says her behavior that day proves intent.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, sits down with Tony Brueski to examine the clinical foundation the entire case rests on. The public treats postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis as the same condition at different severity levels. They are not. Depression is a mood disorder. Psychosis is a break from reality — delusions, disorganized thinking, impaired reality testing, and in some cases voices directing the person to act. The clinical difference between those two diagnoses is the difference between sadness and a psychiatric emergency.Lindsay was reportedly describing command hallucinations to her providers, but the records allegedly reflected intrusive thoughts. That charting distinction carries enormous weight at trial. She was later diagnosed with Bipolar I disorder after the killings — a condition her treating providers had noted as a possibility but never confirmed. Antidepressants given to someone with undiagnosed bipolar disorder are known to trigger the exact psychotic episodes the treatment was supposed to prevent.Shavaun explains where the clinical line falls, what a command hallucination sounds like from the inside, and whether someone in psychosis can appear fully coherent to every person around them.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, discuss the Lindsay Clancy case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The DA informed Nolan Wells' family that the case will go before a grand jury. The internet heard "criminal charges." The DA's office meant something else entirely — a procedural checkpoint Jackson County applies to any death that remains unexplained. One of those readings made national news. The other disappeared.This episode lays out how the Mississippi grand jury system actually functions, what authority it holds, and why the distance between public expectation and legal reality could shape whether this family ever gets answers.Mississippi runs its grand juries behind a wall. A panel of citizens drawn from the county's voter rolls sits with only the prosecutor and called witnesses. Defense lawyers are barred. So are defendants, journalists, and the public. Most Mississippi grand juries do not even use a court reporter — no transcript exists. When the panel deliberates and votes, the prosecutor exits the room. The jurors decide alone.Three outcomes are possible: formal charges, outright dismissal, or a decision to table the case for a future court term. None requires a public explanation. But the grand jury also wields investigative muscle that most observers overlook — it can compel any witness to appear, testify solo and under oath, with no attorney beside them.That authority matters here. The friends who boated to Horn Island with Nolan and returned without him have offered competing versions of what happened. A young woman on the island says Nolan planned to head back with the group. The group says he wanted to stay. Somebody is wrong. A grand jury is built to answer exactly that kind of question — behind closed doors, under penalty of perjury, one witness at a time.The state and independent autopsies are both outstanding. The phone data has not been reviewed. The evidence file is still incomplete — and what is in it when those jurors sit down will dictate every outcome that follows.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
In the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, the prosecution wants the jury to know what she did for a living — and to draw a very specific conclusion from it.She was a labor and delivery nurse. The Commonwealth's argument is that a woman with that training knew how the mental health system evaluates a patient, knew what to report, and knew how to shape what people saw. Kevin Reddington's answer is that she was the one patient in the entire chain who could name what was happening to her, and every institution she named it to still sent her home.This is the complete three-part conversation between Tony Brueski and criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta.The opening segment works through the prosecution file — the text about not feeling like cooking, the dinner order, the errand that put her husband on the road for roughly fifty minutes, and a note prosecutors say she typed about her older children months before. The middle segment takes on the defense, including a ruling that keeps women who have survived postpartum psychosis out of the witness box, the medication history her lawyer describes as roughly thirteen prescriptions in about four months, and the nineteen days between a psychiatric discharge and three deaths. The final segment asks what any verdict here is supposed to accomplish, given that one path leads to a state hospital and the other to mandatory life without parole.There is also Patrick Clancy, who buried three children, asked the public to forgive his wife, is suing her doctors, and is going to testify.Cora, Dawson, and Callan were five, three, and eight months old. Everything in that courtroom is being argued through their mother.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy sentencing outcomes — people keep asking whether she will get away with it. The honest answer is that neither verdict lets her leave.If the jury in Plymouth Superior Court finds that Lindsay Clancy was not criminally responsible, Massachusetts moves toward committing her to a state psychiatric hospital with periodic reviews of whether she could ever safely live in a community. If the jury convicts her of first-degree murder, the sentence is mandatory life without parole and the judge weighs nothing. There is no version of this where she goes back to a normal life.Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to ask the questions the coverage keeps skipping. Why is the state pushing this case so hard when the alternative verdict already ends in confinement? What does anyone gain by sending a woman who cannot walk into a prison? And with a mandatory sentence waiting at the end, how much does every evidentiary ruling in this trial really matter?There is also the uncomfortable math of the civil suits. Lindsay Clancy is suing her providers. Patrick Clancy is suing her providers. If those cases succeed on the theory that a badly managed course of medication triggered a psychotic break, the outcome for the people who prescribed is financial. The outcome for her is a locked door either way.Advocates warn that prosecutions like this one tell struggling mothers to stay silent about the thoughts that scare them most. Prosecutors answer that three children died and silence is not a plan.Cora was five. Dawson was three. Callan was eight months old. Somewhere in this argument, they are supposed to be the point.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy trial coverage — the Duxbury mother's own phone may be the strongest witness the prosecution has, and she is the one who filled it.Prosecutors say a note Lindsay Clancy typed about her older children roughly three months before their deaths belongs in front of the jury. They also say her phone shows her checking how long her husband would be gone on the evening of January 24, 2023. He left at 5:15 to pick up dinner and medication. He was back a little after six.The Commonwealth calls that planning and has charged her with three counts of first-degree murder. Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, does not dispute that she killed Cora, Dawson, and Callan. He disputes that the person who did it was capable of understanding any of it, and he has a stack of medical records he says proves the system had been failing her for months.Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to pull the prosecution's case apart. The hardest thing to explain to a jury is that severe psychosis does not announce itself — a person can be completely untethered from reality and still send a text about takeout. Whether twelve strangers can hold both of those ideas at the same time may decide this entire trial.There is one more piece the state is counting on, and it has nothing to do with the phone. It is what Lindsay Clancy did for a living, and how prosecutors plan to turn her career into evidence that she knew precisely what she was doing and precisely who to tell.Cora was five. Dawson was three. Callan was eight months old.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy postpartum psychosis defense — the women who could explain it best have been shut out of the courtroom by a judge's order.Kevin Reddington asked to call women who have survived postpartum psychosis so a jury could hear what it does to a person from someone who has actually been inside it. Judge William Sullivan said no. That leaves the defense explaining the most important concept in the case entirely through paid clinicians, in a trial where the Commonwealth is seeking a first-degree murder conviction.The rest of the defense file is documentation. Lindsay Clancy told her husband at the end of December that she was having thoughts of hurting her kids. She admitted herself to a psychiatric hospital on New Year's Eve and was discharged. Nineteen days later, Cora, Dawson, and Callan were dead. Her attorney has said she was prescribed roughly thirteen psychiatric medications over about four months, and both she and her husband are suing the providers who wrote them.Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski for an honest look at whether any of this is enough. Can a jury be convinced that planning and psychosis coexist? How much did that ruling actually cost her? And what does a jury do with a father who buried three children and then asked strangers to forgive the person who killed them?There is also the question every person following this case wants answered — whether the woman at the center of it will ever open her mouth in that courtroom.The defense's position is simple. Every institution that could have stopped this had the information and did nothing with 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?

His brother gets arrested and charged with a life felony involving a girl who was nine. And Josh Duggar, sitting in a federal prison cell four years into his own sentence, has his attorney put out a statement about how hard it is to be falsely accused.He "lives with the painful reality of how false accusations can destroy a life," it says. Publicity can "twist the truth into sensationalized fiction."A jury convicted him. A federal judge refused to overturn it. An appeals court upheld it. The Supreme Court declined to hear it. Four levels of the federal judiciary examined the case against Josh Duggar and left it standing. He is still, in his own telling, the one this happened to.In 2015, a statement went out under his name admitting he'd led a double life and, in his own words, "acted inexcusably" and "hurt others." The country read it. It ended everything.In 2025, Josh Duggar told a federal court he didn't write it. He says television producers did.That's what he's doing in there.

People searching the Lindsay Clancy trial want to know about postpartum psychosis and the insanity defense. What almost nobody is covering is the pattern of prosecution moves that shaped this trial before it ever started.Between July 9 and July 20, the Commonwealth made three deliberate plays. Strangulation charges dropped to eliminate a jury's middle ground between life without parole and a psychiatric hospital. Lay witnesses who survived postpartum psychosis blocked from testifying about what the illness feels like. Defense expert witnesses challenged on the first morning of jury selection before a single juror sat down.Tony explains why the pattern matters more than any individual ruling. Massachusetts law puts the burden on prosecutors to prove criminal responsibility once insanity evidence is introduced. That means the prosecution needs to control the information the jury receives, and every voice that gets removed from the room is one fewer obstacle to their proof.The episode also covers what Reddington asked for and didn't get. He wanted the judge to tell jurors about the reversed burden before opening statements. Prosecutors objected. The judge sided with the prosecution. So the jury enters not knowing who has to prove what — and the Commonwealth gets to build its case first.Plus: what the defense has left after the bench was stripped, the eighteen-juror panel, and why the version of her mind the jury carries into deliberation depends on who they never heard from.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A Mississippi teenager who never came off an island, and a Massachusetts mother about to face a jury. Two cases. One mailbag.Nolan Wells was eighteen, a college wide receiver, out at Horn Island on the Fourth of July with friends from Ocean Springs. The island is uninhabited, roughly ten miles offshore, with no shelter and no reliable signal. The boats went home. He wasn't on one. A National Park Service ranger recovered him from the water two mornings later. Two examinations of him exist and neither has been released. Cause and manner of death are undetermined. Ben Crump is investigating for the family and the district attorney has said the case is headed to a grand jury.Lindsay Clancy, a former nurse, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan at the family's Duxbury home in January 2023. Kevin Reddington argues she was misdiagnosed, overmedicated, and psychotic. Prosecutors have countered by pointing to other mothers who got just as sick and did something else. Eighteen jurors are being seated. Patrick Clancy is on the defense witness list. She has never given police a statement.Tony Brueski works through all of it: the boat, the island, the two autopsies, the grand jury, the medication lists, the eighteen jurors, and the question of who is speaking for three children in a Plymouth County courtroom.The mail on the Wells half goes at the boat, the island, and what charges look like when nobody will say how somebody died. The Clancy half comes from mothers who had intrusive thoughts and never told a soul, and people asking whether any ending in Plymouth County could honestly be called justice.Both cases. Your questions.END_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 Lindsay Clancy case forces the audience to sit with a question most people would rather not ask — can a mother who killed her three children also be someone the medical system destroyed? Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott talks through the answer with Tony Brueski.The public split is not about evidence. Everyone agrees on what happened. The split is about whether the woman who did it was operating in reality or had been pushed out of it by misdiagnosis, overmedication, and provider fragmentation. Shavaun explains why that question has no clean answer — and why the discomfort the audience feels when they try to answer it is the point.She walks through the Andrea Yates comparison — why some women accused of filicide receive public sympathy and others receive none, and what decides the difference. She addresses the judge's decision to block dozens of women from testifying about their own psychosis and what that means for jurors who have never been exposed to the condition they are evaluating.Patrick Clancy said he was not married to a monster — he was married to someone who got sick. Even if the insanity defense succeeds, Lindsay never walks free. Shavaun closes on what justice looks like here — for the children, for Patrick, and for the next woman the system is already failing.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, discuss the Lindsay Clancy case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Every screening tool used in OB-GYN and pediatric offices across the United States is designed to catch postpartum depression. Sadness. Hopelessness. Difficulty bonding. None of them screen for postpartum psychosis — a condition that involves hallucinations, command voices, delusions, and a complete break from reality. It affects one to two women in every thousand births. And the person going through it almost never knows it is happening.Lindsay Clancy was a labor and delivery nurse who sought help from every corner of the medical system after the birth of her third child. She went to her providers. She called crisis lines. She checked herself into McLean Hospital. She was prescribed nine medications over four months. She told her doctors she was having intrusive thoughts. Her civil lawsuit alleges those were auditory hallucinations — voices she could not distinguish from reality — and that her providers treated them as anxiety without ever asking the question that would have changed the diagnosis.A forensic psychiatrist later diagnosed her with Bipolar Disorder I with postpartum onset — meaning the antidepressants her doctors prescribed may have triggered the psychotic episodes they kept failing to identify. Her husband Patrick told a friend that Lindsay seemed overmedicated and was acting like a zombie. An outside hospital flagged overmedication and misdiagnosis. According to the lawsuit, the response from her nurse practitioner never came.Tony Brueski explains the condition at the center of Lindsay Clancy's murder trial — what it is, what it is not, and what every person with a new mother in their life needs to understand.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In 2015, a statement went out under Josh Duggar's name that admitted he'd been living a double life, admitted he'd been unfaithful, and admitted in his own words that he had "acted inexcusably" and "hurt others." It ended his television show. It ended his public career. The entire country read it.In 2025, Josh Duggar told a federal judge he never wrote it.That's the argument sitting inside a motion he filed asking for a new trial. He claims television producers put those words in his mouth, that the confession America watched him make was somebody else's script. And it's only one of eight grounds he raised. He argued a part-time employee could've been the real culprit. He argued the government's forensic expert doctored evidence and lied under oath. He argued the whole prosecution was political.And then, in a paragraph that stops you cold, he argued that his own sisters, the girls he admitted harming as a teenager, had wronged him, because their confidential records were made public.A federal judge denied the motion. But the denial isn't the point. What Josh Duggar chose to put in writing is. He isn't serving his sentence. He's going back through his own life with an eraser.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Lindsay Clancy verdict has two possible outcomes, and neither one of them ends with her going home. Most people following this trial do not realize that.A finding of lack of criminal responsibility in Massachusetts leads toward commitment in a state psychiatric hospital, with reviews to determine whether release is ever appropriate. A first-degree murder conviction carries mandatory life without parole, with no discretion left to the judge at all. One path is a locked hospital, the other is a locked prison, and the jury is choosing between them based on what it concludes about a mind.Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski for the argument underneath all of it. Why the Commonwealth is prosecuting this case with the intensity it is when the alternative already ends in confinement. What society gets out of putting a permanently disabled woman into a prison system that will spend the rest of her life managing her medical needs. Whether the rulings coming out of Plymouth Superior Court have been even-handed, given that the sentence itself allows for nothing.There is a second courtroom in this story that nobody talks about. Both Lindsay and Patrick Clancy have sued the medical providers who treated her. If those civil claims succeed on the theory that the treatment triggered the break, the people who prescribed will pay money and continue practicing. She will be the only human being who ever stood in front of a jury over these deaths.And the question that keeps getting pushed to the back of every conversation — what does justice for Cora, Dawson, and Callan actually look like when every argument in the building is about their mother?END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Lindsay Clancy insanity defense has a problem, and it is not the evidence — it is who a Massachusetts judge will and will not let into the courtroom.Kevin Reddington's plan was to have women who have survived postpartum psychosis describe it to the jury themselves. Real people, real experiences, no expert reports. Judge William Sullivan shut that down. Only clinicians retained for the trial may explain the condition, which puts the defense in the position of asking twelve people to believe in something they will only ever hear about secondhand and on somebody's dime.The underlying case Reddington is building is documented in medical records and two civil lawsuits. Lindsay Clancy told her husband at the end of December that she was having thoughts of hurting her kids. She admitted herself to a psychiatric hospital on New Year's Eve. Nineteen days after her discharge, all three of her children were gone. Her attorney has put the prescription count at roughly thirteen psychiatric medications over about four months.Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to work the defense side. Whether this case can function as the spotlight on a broken mental health system that it probably should be. How a jury processes the idea that planning and psychosis are not opposites. What to do with Patrick Clancy, who lost all three of his children and then publicly forgave the person responsible.And the hardest strategic call in the case — whether to put a paralyzed, fragile defendant in front of a prosecutor who will not go easy on her, because she is the only person alive who can tell that jury what she heard.Cora was five. Dawson was three. Callan was eight months old. The defense says none of it had to happen.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nolan Wells died off a Mississippi barrier island and nobody will say how. Lindsay Clancy is facing a Massachusetts jury and nobody can say what she understood. Two cases, one mailbag.Nolan Wells was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College, out at Horn Island on the Fourth of July with friends from Ocean Springs. The island is uninhabited and sits roughly ten miles offshore — no shelter, no water, no signal. His friends made it back. A National Park Service ranger found him in the water two mornings later. Two examinations exist, neither released, cause and manner of death undetermined. Ben Crump is investigating for the family.

Kevin Reddington argues she was misdiagnosed and overmedicated into psychosis. Prosecutors have answered by pointing at other mothers who got sick and locked themselves away instead. Eighteen jurors are being seated. Patrick Clancy is on the defense witness list. She has never spoken to law enforcement.Tony Brueski reads all of it — every question about the boat, the island, the autopsies, the grand jury, the medications, and the verdict nobody can call justice.The mail on the Wells half goes at the boat ride, the two autopsies, and what a grand jury can do with a death nobody will classify. The Clancy half comes from mothers who recognize the illness, people who can't get past three children, and people asking what verdict could honestly be called justice.Both cases.

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial is underway in Plymouth Superior Court, and the Commonwealth's most damaging piece of evidence may be something she wrote herself.Prosecutors have told the court that months before her three children died, Lindsay Clancy left a note on her phone about her two older kids. It has been read aloud in a courtroom already. It will be read again in front of a jury, and everybody in that room knows exactly what it does to a person hearing it cold.Around it sits a timeline the state has assembled out of nothing but ordinary domestic life. A message about not wanting to cook. Dinner ordered. A husband sent out for takeout and a prescription. A window of roughly fifty minutes. Prosecutors say she measured it. They have charged her with three counts of first-degree murder and argued this was deliberate.Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to work through what the Commonwealth actually has and where it is weaker than it looks. The central problem for the prosecution is one most people have never thought about — a person in a full psychotic episode does not necessarily look like one. They can answer a phone. They can order food. They can pass, right up until they do not.There is also the matter of her profession, which the state intends to hold up as evidence that she understood the language of mental health well enough to use it. Her lawyers see the same fact and call it proof that the system failed the one patient who knew how to ask.Cora. Dawson. Callan. Five, three, and eight months old. The verdict turns on what was in her head, and the state says her phone already answered that.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The pattern matters more than any single ruling. In eleven days, the prosecution in the Lindsay Clancy trial made three moves that all point the same direction: narrowing who gets to explain her mind to the jury.On July 9, prosecutors dropped all three strangulation charges. They called them redundant, and legally that is correct. But strangulation charges sitting next to murder charges give a jury room to land somewhere in the middle. Without them the only options are first-degree murder, life, mandatory — or not criminally responsible.On July 13, Judge William Sullivan blocked the defense from calling women who survived postpartum psychosis to testify about their experience. Reddington wanted them on the stand. Prosecutors argued it would open the door to women who suffered the same illness and did not kill their children. The judge agreed and said experts can cover it.On July 20, the first morning of jury selection, the prosecution moved to exclude defense expert witnesses before a single juror was seated. The judge allowed the motion but called it premature. It can be renewed at any time.Tony explains what the pattern reveals about the Commonwealth's strategy. Why the reversed burden of proof in Massachusetts makes every blocked witness a tactical win for the prosecution. What Reddington tried to do about it and why the judge turned him down. And what the defense has left to put in front of eighteen strangers who will decide what happened inside a woman's mind.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Between September 2022 and January 2023, Lindsay Clancy was prescribed at least nine psychiatric medications by providers who diagnosed her with anxiety and depression. According to both civil lawsuits filed in her case, what she was actually experiencing was something entirely different — auditory hallucinations, command voices, and a psychiatric emergency her providers never identified.This episode explains what postpartum psychosis is and why most people — including many medical professionals — confuse it with postpartum depression. They are not the same condition. They are not on the same spectrum. Postpartum depression involves sadness, fatigue, and difficulty bonding. Postpartum psychosis involves a break from reality so complete that the person experiencing it cannot tell the difference between a hallucination and the world in front of them. It affects one to two mothers in every thousand births, and there is no standardized screening for it in routine postnatal care anywhere in the country.Lindsay was a labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital. She went to her providers, called crisis lines, and admitted herself to McLean Hospital with suicidal ideation. She described what she thought were intrusive thoughts. According to a forensic psychiatric evaluation, she had undiagnosed Bipolar Disorder I — a condition where antidepressants can trigger the exact psychotic episodes her doctors kept failing to recognize. Her husband Patrick described her as acting like a zombie on her medications. An outside hospital determined she was overmedicated and misdiagnosed.Her murder trial begins with jury selection on July 20. This is what the jury — and the audience — need to understand before it starts.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Apparently farting is bad — and your "hormone problem" might not be a hormone problem at all
Was Nolan Wells's death a terrible accident, or did something happen on that island that nobody wants to say out loud? The honest answer is that no one can tell you yet — and that uncertainty is exactly why this case deserves more care than the internet is giving it.Nolan Wells, 18, of Ocean Springs, Mississippi, went out to a barrier island with friends and didn't come back. His body was recovered from the water two days later. The sheriff's early framing was that he chose to stay behind. The autopsy is finished but sealed. And in the absence of facts, two camps have hardened — one convinced of foul play, one convinced everyone should let it go. Neither has the evidence to be that certain.This breakdown steps back from the shouting. It examines why Nolan ended up alone out there, why the emergency response lagged, and why Mississippi's own past — the kind that includes Emmett Till and Medgar Evers — makes it reasonable for people to demand a real investigation instead of a quick official reassurance. It also insists on the other half: that a demand for scrutiny can't curdle into convicting people no one has met, and that a tragic accident, if that's what this turns out to be, deserves the same respect as any other truth.The Wells family isn't asking for a verdict. They're asking for answers. This is a look at why those answers can only come from evidence — the autopsy, the toxicology, the video, the witnesses — and never from whichever side yells the loudest.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three cases dominating the national conversation. Three investigations where the questions outnumber the answers. And one retired FBI Special Agent who isn't bound by any gag order, any jurisdiction dispute, or any institutional concern.Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke for an extended discussion covering the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, the Nolan Wells investigation, and the Siders family case.On Clancy: the prosecution says she mapped her husband's errand. The defense says nine medications caused psychosis she couldn't control. The judge blocked other mothers from testifying and refused to split the trial. Jury selection is four days out.On Nolan Wells: friends left him on Horn Island without a phone or water. His body was found two days later. The friends' stories conflict. His Snapchat was allegedly erased. The FBI is analyzing digital evidence. Ben Crump's team says the case goes to a grand jury.On the Siders: sixteen children found in a twelve-by-twelve room in Ohio. Some nonverbal. DNA testing is underway after the AG labeled it "intrafamily." One defendant's attorney secured a gag order covering every official in the case. Elizabeth Siders was thirteen when her first child was born.Coffindaffer addresses each case from a federal investigative standpoint — what the evidence actually proves, where the gaps are, and who is being protected by the silence. This is the full conversation covering every segment in one discussion.Three cases. Zero easy answers. One agent who has spent a career finding them anyway.Join 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 college athlete named Nolan Wells took a boat to Horn Island on the Fourth of July with friends from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Every one of those friends made it back to the mainland. He was found in the water off the island two mornings later by a National Park Service ranger.The mail on this case has almost nothing to do with the forensic questions dominating national coverage. It's about a decision. Somebody started an engine. Somebody untied a line. Somebody looked at an empty seat and went home anyway.Tony Brueski reads those messages and works through what makes them so hard to shake — starting with what Horn Island actually is. Not a resort island. Not a town. An undeveloped barrier island roughly ten miles offshore with no shelter, no fresh water, and no dependable way to reach anybody. Beautiful in daylight. Completely unforgiving after dark.The questions in this mailbag come down to what the friends have said and what they've avoided saying. Whether anyone thought he was on a different boat, and whether anyone checked. How a person survives a night out there with nothing.Per the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, a friend contacted the Coast Guard late that night and Nolan's mother, Christine Wonsley, contacted the sheriff's office shortly afterward. Officials have said they believe he drowned and do not suspect foul play, while also saying the work of determining exactly what happened continues.Cause and manner of death have not been released. Ben Crump is investigating independently for the family. The district attorney has said a grand jury will see it.Everything in this case starts on that island.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Everything in the Nolan Wells case is now stacked behind a grand jury, and that grand jury is waiting on findings nobody has released. Two examinations exist. One from the Mississippi State Medical Examiner's Office, one arranged by the family's attorneys, who sent the eighteen-year-old's body to Washington, D.C. Neither has been made public. Cause and manner of death remain undetermined.Tony Brueski takes the mailbag on the back half of this case — the procedural half, which the audience has turned into something more personal than procedure.The questions go straight at what a grand jury can do with a death that has never been formally classified. Whether leaving somebody behind on a barrier island ten miles offshore is a crime in Mississippi or simply a thing everyone involved has to carry. What happens on the day two examinations of the same young man say two different things.Then the credibility problem: why officials said they believed Nolan drowned and didn't suspect foul play before a completed autopsy existed — and why that same office has since emphasized that investigators are working diligently to determine exactly what occurred.Attorney Ben Crump has said Nolan's friends took his phone with them when they left Horn Island and that messages had been deleted by the time the family got it back. Crump's team and Jackson County investigators agreed to inspect the phone together.District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath has told the family the case goes to a grand jury once the investigation is complete.Until then, a family in Ocean Springs is waiting on paperwork.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

One family lived in the poorest corner of Appalachia. The other had a network television deal worth tens of thousands of dollars an episode. They could not have started further apart. They end in exactly the same place.Sixteen children were found in a Hamden, Ohio house on June thirtieth of 2026 — the oldest eighteen, unable to spell her own name, all of them in a twelve-by-twelve room. Four members of the Siders family face sixteen felony counts each and have pleaded not guilty. Months earlier, the state of Arkansas removed all four of Joseph and Kendra Duggar's children, and each parent was charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts of false imprisonment. Both pleaded not guilty.Both sets of kids were kept off the books. Both sets of parents were charged with endangerment. Both sets of children are now in state custody.Then the split. A seventy-three-year-old man in the smallest county in Ohio could not post a three hundred thousand dollar bond, and a judge released him anyway because the county could not afford his hospital bills. Joseph Duggar posted six hundred thousand dollars and was flown home with his father in the courtroom.Tony Brueski walks the paper trail on both — the 2003 stern talk with a state trooper who never filed a report and is now serving fifty-six years himself, the statute of limitations that expired before police ever opened a file, and the eleven-season spin-off TLC premiered five months after canceling the show.All parties have pleaded not guilty. All of them get a trial. But only one family has a checkbook.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In three and a half years, Lindsay Clancy has not given a statement to law enforcement. Not an interview, not a confession, not a denial. She was gravely injured the night her three children died and was hospitalized immediately, and prosecutors have spent the years since trying to reach her state of mind through everyone but her.A Plymouth County jury has to decide what she understood on January 24, 2023.Clancy, a former nurse, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan at the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts home. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington argues she was misdiagnosed and overmedicated and that postpartum psychosis drove what happened. She is paralyzed from the waist down and has been held at Tewksbury State Hospital.Prosecutors have their own framing. Fighting to keep other mothers off the stand, prosecutor Jennifer Sprague pointed to women who experienced postpartum depression and psychosis and did not harm their children — women who shut themselves in a room, women who drove away. Judge William Sullivan kept those witnesses out. The comparison behind the argument did not go anywhere.Tony Brueski reads the mailbag on a case that has split this audience harder than any in recent memory, including messages from mothers who never told anyone what was going through their heads.Sullivan is seating eighteen jurors rather than the usual sixteen. Patrick Clancy, who publicly forgave his wife, is on the defense witness list.The jury will be handed medication lists, search histories, and timelines. A conviction means life without parole. An acquittal by reason of insanity means a hospital and periodic review. Three children are gone under either verdict.A jury will read a mind that has never spoken.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Every timestamp in the Nolan Wells case, in sequence, from a Friday night dinner to a Monday morning recovery — a full chronological breakdown rather than another round of theories.The vessel's own movements are among the pieces that can be checked. It left a dock outside Ocean Springs mid-morning on the Fourth and reached the island a little after eleven. It pulled away at 4:31 and had to be towed part of the way in after the bilge pump quit. It entered Fort Bayou near 5:52, tied up at 6:06, went back out to a launch at 7:19, came out of the water, and finished the night on a trailer bound for Biloxi. All of it logged.What isn't logged is the part everybody wants. Why Nolan stayed. Whose version of that conversation holds up. What filled the stretch between the last sighting and the boat's exit.The search comes next, and it doesn't run the way people assume. His father was out on the water Sunday morning ahead of any agency, over the exact patch at the northwestern end, and came back with nothing. Monday at 8:45, a federal ranger recovered him from it.There's also what his mother says she found when that phone came back, what a friend says every phone out there looked like that day, and why those accounts don't cancel each other as cleanly as either camp would like.A grand jury is coming once investigators close, though prosecutors have been clear that convening one implies nothing about criminality. Tony Brueski holds the checkable apart from the assumed and is direct that his own conclusions carry no special authority, because he wasn't standing on that sandbar. The sequence is here. The verdict isn't, because there isn't one.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Everybody knows Lindsay Clancy was sick. The defense will prove it, the prosecution won't seriously contest it, and her husband has been saying it publicly since the beginning. That's not the fight. The fight is what she understood while it was happening.Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan at the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023. Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, has argued for years that she was misdiagnosed and overmedicated and that what followed was psychosis she could not control.The Commonwealth's answer showed up in a pretrial fight over witnesses. Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague, arguing against letting other mothers testify about postpartum illness, described women who went through it and locked themselves away from their children, or drove off rather than risk it. Judge William Sullivan ruled those witnesses out. The idea behind the objection is going to trial anyway.Tony Brueski opens the mailbag on a case that has divided this audience straight down the middle — mothers who recognize the illness, people who can't get past three children in a basement, and people stuck holding both at once.Sullivan is seating eighteen jurors, six more than the standard panel. Patrick Clancy, who has said publicly that he forgave his wife, is listed as a defense witness. Lindsay Clancy is paralyzed from the waist down and has been held at Tewksbury State Hospital since her arrest.She has never spoken to law enforcement. A jury is being asked to read a mind that has never made a statement — using prescription records, a search history, and the words of people who were not in that house when it happened.A conviction means life without parole. A finding of not guilty by reason of insanity means a hospital with periodic review. Cora was five. Dawson was three. Callan was eight months.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
A second autopsy is supposed to be a backstop. In the Nolan Wells case it has become the whole argument — because the family arranged one, sent their eighteen-year-old's body to Washington, D.C. for it, and still doesn't have an answer.Neither examination has been released. Not the one done by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner's Office, and not the one the family paid for. Cause and manner of death remain undetermined. Attorney Ben Crump initially suggested the independent findings would land quickly, then said he hoped to share them soon.Tony Brueski takes the mailbag on the credibility collapse in this case. Investigators signaled early that they believed Nolan drowned and did not suspect foul play — before there was a finished autopsy to point at. The sheriff's office has since underscored that the work of determining exactly what occurred is ongoing.Then there's the device. Crump has said Nolan's friends carried his phone off Horn Island and that when the family received it, messages had been deleted. Crump's specialists and county investigators agreed to inspect it jointly.The questions in this episode go where nobody official will. What if the two examinations disagree. Who wins that fight. Whether a grand jury can indict anyone for a death that has never been formally classified. District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath has said the case goes to a grand jury once the investigation is complete.And the harder question under that: whether anything that happened on that island is chargeable at all, or whether the worst outcome here is a young man dying and the law having nothing to say about it.The family already answered one question by shipping their son out of state.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Everybody arguing about the Nolan Wells case online is arguing about the wrong hour. Not the autopsy. Not the phone. The boat ride home — the moment a group of eighteen-year-olds untied from a barrier island and left one of their own behind on it.Horn Island sits about ten miles off Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The National Park Service keeps it undeveloped. There is no shelter out there, no drinking water, no store, no cell tower. For one day a year it's the best party on the coast. Every other hour of the year it's empty, and after dark on the Fourth it goes right back to empty.Nolan Wells was a college wide receiver, eighteen years old, out there with kids he grew up with. They came home. He was found in the water two days later by a National Park Service ranger, off the island's northwestern tip.Tony reads the mailbag straight. Nobody wrote in asking about tide charts. They wrote in asking how you get on a boat and look at an empty seat and pull away from the dock. They wrote in asking whether anybody counted. They wrote in asking what that island offers a person who's still on it at midnight, alone, with no way to call anyone.The sheriff's office has said a friend reached the Coast Guard that night and that Nolan's mother called the sheriff's office soon after. Officials have said they believe he drowned while simultaneously insisting the work to determine what actually occurred is ongoing.No cause of death has been released. Ben Crump is investigating for the family. A grand jury is coming.The island first. Then everything else.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
There's a photograph from a Fourth of July boat trip, and Nolan Wells is the only person of color in it. Days later, he's the only one from that group who isn't coming home. That single fact is why the Nolan Wells case has gripped the country — and why the questions around it are so hard to put down.Wells, an 18-year-old from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, went out to Horn Island with friends and never made it back. His body turned up in the water off the northwest tip of the island. The sheriff said he chose to stay behind. The autopsy is finished but sealed. And the answers his family is asking for — how he ended up alone out there, why help was so slow, what actually happened before he died — still don't exist.This isn't a rush to judgment in either direction. It's an argument for why this case has to be investigated all the way to the bottom, and why the people shouting the loudest on both sides are getting in the way of that. It walks through the 13-hour delay before the Coast Guard was called out, the "no foul play" statement that poured gasoline on everything, the witnesses too frightened to speak, and the long shadow of Mississippi's own record of looking away from deaths exactly like this one.The point isn't that one theory is right. The point is that nobody knows yet — and pretending otherwise dishonors a kid whose family is still just waiting to be told what happened to their son.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

One conversation. Three cases. Every angle covered.Lindsay Clancy's murder trial begins with jury selection July 20. The prosecution's key evidence: she allegedly checked Apple Maps to time her husband's fifty-four-minute errand. The defense: nine medications, command hallucinations, and a medical system that failed her at every checkpoint. The judge blocked mothers from testifying about their own psychosis.Nolan Wells went to Horn Island for the Fourth of July with friends who came home without him. His body was found two days later. The friends are telling investigators different stories. The family says his digital data was wiped. The FBI is involved but says the sheriff has jurisdiction.Sixteen children were found in a twelve-by-twelve room in Ohio. Some couldn't speak. One was critical. DNA testing is underway after the AG described the situation as "intrafamily." A gag order has stopped every official from talking.Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired FBI Special Agent, goes case by case with Tony and Robin. She examines whether psychosis and premeditation can coexist in the Clancy case, what the conflicting accounts from Nolan Wells' friends reveal about the investigation's direction, and what the Siders DNA testing could mean for additional charges beyond child endangerment.Three different cases. Three different institutions that failed.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
A full breakdown of the Nolan Wells case in the order it actually happened — every logged timestamp, every competing account, start to finish.Two piles of material come out of that exercise and they don't weigh the same. One is verifiable: departure and arrival times, a distress call to a towing company, a run back through Fort Bayou, a recovery time on Monday morning. The other is everything people have stacked on top of those numbers, and it's guesswork all the way down — well-informed in spots, but guesswork.The sequence hits the stretch of afternoon nobody has accounted for. It hits the night the family spent chasing belongings through houses that weren't eager to hand them over. It hits the empty photo roll his mother says shouldn't have been empty, and the friend who says nobody's photo roll had anything on it, because everyone was standing waist-deep in the Gulf. It hits the thirteen hours between a friend's late call for help and the first aircraft in the air, and gives that gap both the family's reading and the reasonable operational one.And it hits the morning Nolan's father went out on his own, before any agency arrived, and covered the exact water where his son would surface a day later.Images generated by AI have been circulating alongside the real material, which creates its own obstacle for anyone trying to follow this honestly. Tony Brueski doesn't resolve the contradictions, because they aren't resolved. He names them, gives each side its strongest form, and leaves the open questions open. More than sixty people have sat for interviews. There's still nothing official explaining how an eighteen-year-old ended up where he was found.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Siders family in Ohio and the Duggar family in Arkansas have never been mentioned in the same breath. After you hear this, you will not be able to separate them.Sixteen children were pulled from a Hamden, Ohio house on June thirtieth of 2026 — found by accident, when deputies arrived to serve a warrant on something else entirely. The oldest is eighteen. She cannot spell her own name. Four adults face sixteen felony counts each and have pleaded not guilty.Months earlier and hundreds of miles away, the state removed all four of Joseph and Kendra Duggar's children. Each parent faces four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts of false imprisonment. Both pleaded not guilty. Joseph separately faces two felonies in Florida involving a child under twelve.Both families kept their children off the books. No enrollment records. No medical records. No mandated reporter in the building. Both families ended up watching the state take their kids.And then the paths split. Bond in Ohio was three hundred thousand dollars, and one defendant's lawyer told a judge his client cannot afford any bond at all. Bond in Florida was six hundred thousand dollars, and Joseph Duggar posted it and flew home with his father in the courtroom.Tony Brueski walks both paper trails, including the Arkansas state trooper Jim Bob Duggar took his son to in 2003 instead of calling a hotline — a mandated reporter who filed nothing, and who is now serving fifty-six years on charges of his own. That is more than four times the sentence Josh Duggar received.Same play. Same missing paperwork. One checkbook.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jennifer Coffindaffer covers all of it — Lindsay Clancy, Nolan Wells, and the Siders case — in one extended discussion with Tony and Robin.On Clancy: jury selection starts in days. The prosecution's strongest play is the Apple Maps evidence showing she timed her husband's errand. The defense says she was psychotic from nine medications. The judge blocked mothers from telling the jury what psychosis feels like. He denied splitting the trial into guilt and sanity phases.On Nolan Wells: an eighteen-year-old left on a federally protected island by friends who then gave investigators accounts that don't match. His Snapchat was allegedly wiped. The FBI is examining his phone. Nobody has been charged. Nobody has been cleared.On the Siders: sixteen children in a single room in Ohio. DNA testing underway after the AG called it "intrafamily." A gag order has locked down every official. Elizabeth Siders was a teenager when the first child was born. The question of who fathered those sixteen children remains unanswered.Coffindaffer, a retired FBI Special Agent, brings federal investigative perspective to each case. She addresses what the evidence supports, where each investigation is most vulnerable, and why the systems that were supposed to catch every one of these situations before they became national stories failed in every single case.This is the full conversation. Every case. Every angle. No gag order on this one.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The sheriff's answer tells you everything about why this case exploded. Asked how an 18-year-old ended up dead and alone on an island ten miles offshore, the response was basically that Nolan Wells chose to stay. For a grieving family, that isn't an answer — it's a door slamming shut.The Nolan Wells case has become a national flashpoint, and for good reason. Wells, a college football player from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, went to Horn Island with friends on the Fourth of July. They came back. He didn't. Two days later his body was found in the water. A finished autopsy hasn't been released. The family commissioned a second one. And every hour without answers, the theories grow louder and further apart.This conversation cuts through the noise. It lays out what's actually known versus what people are filling in on their own, why the state's history — from Emmett Till to Medgar Evers — makes blind trust impossible for so many, and why "just calm down and move on" is not the neutral, sober position it imagines itself to be. It also draws a hard line: earned suspicion is not the same as proof, and using a real history of injustice to convict strangers is its own kind of shortcut.Everyone wants to be right about Nolan Wells. Almost nobody wants to wait for the truth. This is about why the waiting — and the demanding — both matter, and why the family deserves every bit of it.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nolan Wells, eighteen years old, rode a boat out to Horn Island on the Fourth of July with friends from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. The boats went home that evening. He wasn't on one. Two days later a park ranger found him in the water.Live and unfiltered, Tony Brueski takes the mailbag on this case — and the volume is on one subject. Not toxicology. Not the timeline. The decision to leave.Understanding why that decision lands so hard means understanding what Horn Island actually is. It's an uninhabited barrier island about ten miles off the Mississippi coast, protected and undeveloped. No structures. No fresh water. No reliable signal. On the holiday it's packed. By nightfall there's nothing out there but sand, pine, mosquitos, and the Gulf.The mailbag keeps asking the same thing in a dozen different handwritings. Did anybody count heads. Did anybody ask. Did anybody say wait. And if somebody genuinely believed he'd catch a ride with another group — what was he supposed to do out there if that ride never came?Jackson County Sheriff John Ledbetter has said one of Nolan's friends was the first to report it, contacting the Coast Guard around eleven that night, with Nolan's mother, Christine Wonsley, contacting the sheriff's office around midnight. Authorities have said they believe he drowned and don't suspect foul play, while also stating investigators are still working to determine exactly what occurred.Cause and manner of death remain unreleased. Attorney Ben Crump is leading an independent investigation. The district attorney intends to present the case to a grand jury.Bring your questions. This one is about the island.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There are two examinations of Nolan Wells and nobody outside a very small circle knows what either one says. The Mississippi State Medical Examiner's Office handled the first. The family's legal team arranged the second, sending his body to Washington, D.C.Live, Tony Brueski works through the mailbag on that split — and the biggest question is the collision nobody wants to name out loud. If those two examinations don't match, what happens next? Whose science gets believed? Who decides?Neither result has been released. Cause and manner of death for the eighteen-year-old Ocean Springs athlete remain undetermined. Attorney Ben Crump indicated early on that the independent results would come quickly, and later said he hoped to share them soon.Underneath it all is the credibility problem. Officials said they believed Nolan drowned and did not suspect foul play at a point when no completed autopsy existed. The same sheriff's office has stressed that investigators are working diligently to determine exactly what occurred. Those two positions have been sitting side by side for weeks.There's the phone, too — carried off the island by his friends, according to Crump, and returned to the family with messages deleted, also according to Crump. His experts and county investigators agreed to a mutual inspection of the device.District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath has told the Wells family the case will be presented to a grand jury once the investigation wraps. What charges look like when nobody will officially classify the death — and whether leaving someone behind on a barrier island ten miles out is a crime or just a regret — is what the mailbag keeps circling.Bring your questions. This one is about what's in those two envelopes.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When Ohio's Attorney General described the Siders case as "intrafamily," most of the coverage moved past the word. It shouldn't have. That term — used before DNA testing was complete — signals something the child endangerment charges don't capture.Sixteen children found in a twelve-by-twelve room in Hamden, Ohio. Some nonverbal. One critical. Elizabeth Siders was fifteen when she married Gary Jr. and reportedly thirteen when her first child was born. All sixteen children were delivered at hospitals. Truancy complaints filed in 2021 were never served. No CPS intervention. No school enrollment. No medical records beyond delivery.Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired FBI Special Agent, sits down with Tony and Robin to unpack what the DNA testing could confirm, whether Elizabeth Siders is a co-defendant or someone who was trapped in an environment she entered as a child, and what the gag order — filed by one defendant's attorney but applied to every official in the case — is actually designed to protect.Coffindaffer also addresses whether additional charges are coming, who the primary architect of this situation really was, and why a family that collected state benefits while keeping sixteen children invisible to every system managed to do it for eighteen years without a single intervention.Nobody is saying it on the record anymore. The gag order made sure of that. Coffindaffer says what they can't.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There is a tape almost nobody has gone back and watched, and it is the most important thing in the Joseph Duggar case.December of 2015. Joseph Duggar, twenty years old, sitting in front of a TLC camera talking about Josh. He does not hedge. He describes a man living a secret life. He describes how you would never guess it was the person standing up preaching about being true to your wife. He says it broke his heart.In March of 2026, Joseph Duggar was arrested. According to the Bay County, Florida arrest affidavit, he asked a nine-year-old girl to sit on his lap during a 2020 family vacation in Panama City Beach. He has pleaded not guilty.Tony Brueski takes the question true crime listeners have been fighting about since the arrest — Joseph or Josh, which one is worse — and gives a real answer instead of a shrug.Getting there means going back to July of 2003, sixteen months after Josh Duggar first confessed, and looking hard at the man Jim Bob Duggar chose to handle it. It means looking at the teaching this family was raised on, which framed going outside the chain of command as the dangerous move. It means watching what happened to two Duggar daughters on Fox News in June of 2015.And it means reading two statements. One from the Duggars. One from Kendra's parents, the Caldwells, who lost a house over it.Joseph Duggar's Florida case was continued on July 14, 2026. Next court date is September 15.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy's murder trial begins in days. Jury selection opens July 20 in Plymouth. She is charged with ending the lives of all three of her children during a fifty-four-minute window while her husband was picking up takeout she asked him to get. Prosecutors say she checked Apple Maps to time the drive.The defense says she was drowning. Nine medications prescribed across dozens of appointments — eight of those medications added in a single three-week stretch. Virtual psychiatric visits that lasted seventeen minutes. A hospital that evaluated her, concluded she was overmedicated and misdiagnosed, and discharged her anyway. Her attorney offered to formally admit she was responsible for all three deaths if the judge would let the jury consider guilt and sanity separately. The judge declined.The judge also blocked fifteen women who wanted to testify about their own postpartum psychosis — women who had experienced command hallucinations like the ones Lindsay described. The court ruled medical experts are sufficient. The defense lost the most emotionally powerful testimony it had.Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired FBI Special Agent, sits down with Tony and Robin to dissect the case heading to trial. She addresses whether the Apple Maps evidence is as damning as the prosecution believes, how a jury handles hearing a confession and an insanity defense in the same breath, and what happens when Patrick Clancy — the father who forgave — takes the stand and tells the jury his wife got sick.Lindsay Clancy is paralyzed. She's in a wheelchair. The doctors who prescribed her nine medications are named in two civil lawsuits — but not a single one of them is sitting at a defendant's table.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy told her doctors she was having thoughts of harming her children. They prescribed more medication. Her husband begged them to stop. They increased the dosage. Three children are dead, and the only person sitting at a defendant's table is the mother who tried to get help.Clancy faces three counts of first-degree murder for the January 2023 deaths of five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan in Duxbury, Massachusetts. She is pleading not guilty by reason of insanity, arguing she was experiencing postpartum psychosis driven by command hallucinations and a catastrophic failure of medical care.According to two civil lawsuits — one filed by Lindsay, one by her husband Patrick — Lindsay was prescribed at least ten psychiatric medications in four months by providers who never coordinated her treatment or arrived at a correct diagnosis. She was a labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital who understood something was wrong and fought to get help. She voluntarily hospitalized herself three times. She called a crisis hotline and was turned away because she didn't have a specific plan.Patrick Clancy, the father of all three children, filed a wrongful death suit against her healthcare providers. He is testifying for the defense at her murder trial. He has publicly blamed the medical system — not his wife — for what happened.The prosecution argues Lindsay was lucid and planned the killings. Their key evidence of her mental state: a hospital assessment that ruled out bipolar disorder. Two lawsuits and a forensic psychiatric evaluation allege that assessment was wrong. The diagnosis she needed — Bipolar Disorder I with psychosis and postpartum onset — came after her children were already gone.Jury selection begins July 20 in Plymouth Superior Court.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
