They found her on the roof. Her car was parked perfectly between the lines, the doors locked, the keys gone. It was a ghost vehicle. Inside, her textbooks sat on theseat, waiting for a student who was never coming back. There were no signs of a fight, no broken glass, no blood on the upholstery. The car was as clean as Karen'sreputation. Forensic technicians took the car to the lab and went over it with a magnifying glass. They found nothing. No fingerprints that didn't belong to the family. No trace of a struggle. Whatever had happened to Karen Sprinker, it hadn't happened inside that steel frame. It had happened in the few yards between her car door and the entranceto the store.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theserialkillerpodcastWebsite: https://www.theserialkillerpodcast.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theskpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/serialkillerpodX: https://x.com/serialkillerpodSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-serial-killer-podcast.

Federal agents entered the Tucson home of Annie Guthrie and Tommaso Cioni carrying forensic extraction equipment. Annie and Tommaso were the last people known to have seen Nancy Guthrie, 84, before she was taken. The sheriff maintains this is standard investigative procedure and has warned that labeling anyone a suspect at this point would be reckless and potentially destructive to the case. No suspects or persons of interest have been identified. More than a hundred investigators are assigned. But the evidence trail tells its own story. Ransom notes demanding bitcoin landed at media outlets — TMZ and local news stations — completely bypassing the family. Whoever made that choice created traceable legal exposure, whether they took Nancy or not. DNA evidence at the scene has been confirmed as Nancy's, though the sheriff has declined to specify whether it's blood. That's a legally significant distinction: DNA indicating someone was present carries different prosecutorial weight than DNA indicating someone was harmed. The specific type of biological evidence shapes charging decisions. Pacemaker data shows Nancy went out of range around 2 a.m. Using cardiac device telemetry to establish an abduction timeline is largely uncharted legal ground. How that evidence enters a courtroom — and how a defense team challenges it — could define the case. The sheriff publicly stated to NBC that Nancy "was harmed at the home" before walking it back as a misstatement. In any eventual prosecution, that retraction becomes a tool for the defense. The Guthrie family's video statement has been analyzed by former federal law enforcement professionals, who described it as carefully scripted and strategically staged by authorities. Savannah Guthrie's language — asking for proof of life, humanizing her mother — was designed to serve both public appeal and investigative objectives simultaneously. A fifty-thousand-dollar FBI reward has been posted. Federal resources have been pledged at the presidential level. Tips continue flooding in. Nancy requires medication the sheriff described as potentially fatal to miss, and her age and physical limitations compound both the urgency and the eventual sentencing exposure under state and federal law. Robin Dreeke, former head of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, details how investigators behaviorally evaluate everyone in a victim's orbit without rushing to judgment. Defense attorney Eric Faddis explains what prosecutors need to build a kidnapping case, how medical device evidence gets challenged, and why the choice between Arizona and federal jurisdiction could determine the severity of the outcome.#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #TucsonKidnapping #EricFaddis #RobinDreeke #FBI #PacemakerEvidence #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #CriminalLawJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The full scope of the prosecution's case against Michael McKee is now visible. The affidavit has been unsealed and the Franklin County Coroner has released autopsy reports for Spencer and Monique Tepe. The findings are staggering in their detail and their implications. Monique sustained nine gunshot wounds. Spencer sustained seven. Both had defensive injuries to their hands and arms. They were conscious when the shooting began, and they fought. An entire magazine was emptied into two people in their bedroom while their children slept down the hall. The violence never left that room — but it consumed everything in it. The affidavit establishes an alleged pattern spanning eight years. Surveillance footage captured McKee walking through the Tepe property while Spencer and Monique attended the Big Ten Championship game, days before the killings. Witnesses told investigators McKee made threats throughout and after his marriage to Monique, including that he could "kill her at any time" and that she would "always be his wife." A silver SUV with a distinctive sticker was tracked between McKee's home, his workplace, and the area near the Tepe residence — displaying stolen license plates. After McKee's arrest, fresh scrape marks were found where the sticker had been removed. His cell phone went dark from December 29th through the afternoon of December 30th, a window that covers the estimated time of the murders at approximately 3:50 a.m. Prosecutors will argue that silence was deliberate. The firearm charges are filed in the alternative — automatic weapon or silencer-equipped — which signals the investigation hasn't definitively identified the weapon's exact configuration. That matters for sentencing. McKee is a vascular surgeon with licenses in four states and a decade of advanced medical training. According to prosecutors, he is also someone who allegedly spent years building a documented obsession that culminated in a double homicide that left two children without parents. He waived extradition, entered a not-guilty plea, and reserved the right to address bond. Defense attorney Eric Faddis analyzes how prosecutors build around historical threat evidence, the legal strength and vulnerability of digital silence arguments, how apparent post-offense tampering gets presented at trial, and what McKee's early defense posture signals. Forensic psychologists describe the behavioral profile emerging from this evidence as a "grievance collector" — someone who catalogs perceived wrongs for years before acting with devastating precision. The autopsy confirms what happened. The affidavit allegedly explains why.#MichaelMcKee #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #OhioHomicide #TepeAutopsy #EricFaddis #TrueCrimeToday #DomesticViolence #GrievanceCollector #HiddenKillersJoin 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
Federal agents arrived at the home of Annie Guthrie and Tommaso Cioni with forensic extraction equipment. They were the last people to see Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, before she was taken from her Tucson residence. Investigators confirmed forced entry, DNA evidence at the scene, and ransom notes demanding bitcoin — routed to media outlets rather than the family. The sheriff says no one is a suspect. No persons of interest have been named. More than a hundred investigators are assigned to the case. But the behavioral and legal landscape is far more complex than those statements suggest. The ransom delivery method — bypassing the family entirely and going to TMZ and local stations — creates significant legal exposure for whoever is responsible, whether or not they physically took Nancy. The DNA confirmed at the scene belongs to Nancy, but the sheriff won't specify whether it's blood. That distinction matters enormously. DNA establishing presence carries different legal weight than DNA establishing harm, and the type of biological evidence recovered shapes what charges prosecutors can bring. Pacemaker sync data is being used to establish that Nancy went out of range around 2 a.m. Medical device evidence in a kidnapping case is new legal territory, and how it gets introduced at trial — and where it's vulnerable to challenge — could define the prosecution's timeline. The sheriff initially told NBC that Nancy "was harmed at the home," then walked it back as a misstatement. Defense attorneys notice contradictions like that. They get used in court. The Guthrie family's video statement drew analysis from former federal law enforcement professionals who described it as heavily scripted and strategically directed by authorities. Savannah asked for proof of life and humanized her mother — every line serving an investigative purpose. Meanwhile, a fifty-thousand-dollar FBI reward is active, the president has pledged federal resources, and tips continue to flood in. Nancy requires medication the sheriff described as potentially fatal to miss. Her age, limited mobility, and medical needs elevate sentencing exposure under both state and federal guidelines. Robin Dreeke, former head of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, breaks down how investigators behaviorally assess everyone in Nancy's orbit without premature conclusions. Defense attorney Eric Faddis explains what a kidnapping prosecution looks like from both sides and why the jurisdiction question between Arizona and federal courts carries dramatically different consequences.#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #RobinDreeke #EricFaddis #FBI #TrueCrime #Kidnapping #PimaCouny #CriminalDefense #HiddenKillersJoin 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 affidavit is public. The autopsy reports are released. And the Michael McKee case just became one of the most forensically and psychologically layered murder prosecutions in Ohio. Spencer Tepe was shot seven times. Monique Tepe was shot nine times. Both had defensive wounds on their hands and arms — they were awake, aware, and fighting when they were killed in their bedroom while their children slept feet away. A full magazine emptied into two people. The violence stayed contained to one room but was explosive enough to exhaust every round. Forensic psychologists recognize that pattern. It's controlled rage — the kind associated with what experts call a "grievance collector," someone who catalogs perceived slights over years until action becomes inevitable. The affidavit supports that profile. Surveillance footage places McKee in the Tepe yard while Spencer and Monique were at the Big Ten Championship game, days before the murders. Witnesses describe threats stretching back through and beyond McKee's marriage to Monique. He allegedly told her he could "kill her at any time" and that she "will always be his wife." Stolen license plates were linked to his vehicle. A silver SUV with a distinctive sticker was tracked between McKee's address, his workplace, and the Tepe home. After arrest, fresh scrape marks appeared where the sticker had been — evidence prosecutors will frame as post-offense tampering. McKee's phone went silent from December 29th through the afternoon of December 30th, covering the estimated time of the murders at 3:50 a.m. The firearm specifications are charged in the alternative — automatic weapon or silencer-equipped firearm — a prosecutorial hedge that defense attorney Eric Faddis says reveals something about the investigation's current limits. McKee was a vascular surgeon licensed in four states. A decade of medical training. A professional who held lives in his hands daily. And according to prosecutors, a man who allegedly spent eight years building toward the night he emptied a magazine into his ex-wife and her husband. Faddis breaks down how prosecutors use historical threat evidence, where digital silence arguments hold up and where they fracture, how alternative firearm charges affect sentencing strategy, and what McKee's not-guilty plea with reserved bond arguments tells us about the defense approach. The autopsy reveals how they died. The affidavit reveals the alleged architecture behind it.#MichaelMcKee #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #TepeAutopsy #McKeeAffidavit #LibertyTownship #ForensicPsychology #DomesticViolence #HiddenKillers #AggravatedMurderJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Forensic extraction equipment was brought into the home of Nancy Guthrie's daughter Annie and her husband Tommaso Cioni — the last known people to see the 84-year-old before she disappeared from her Tucson home. The sheriff is clear: no suspects, no persons of interest, and calling anyone a suspect at this stage could damage the investigation. Over a hundred investigators are on the case. But here's what's unfolding beneath the surface. Ransom notes demanding bitcoin were sent to media outlets — TMZ and local stations — not to the family. That deliberate routing creates immediate legal exposure for whoever is behind them, regardless of whether they're the person who physically took Nancy. DNA evidence confirmed at the scene belongs to Nancy, but the sheriff won't say whether it's blood. That's not a minor distinction. The nature of the biological evidence determines what charges can be filed and how prosecutors frame harm versus presence. Investigators are pulling pacemaker sync data to pin down that Nancy went out of range around 2 a.m. Using medical device telemetry as a forensic timeline tool is largely untested legal territory, and both sides of a courtroom will have something to say about its reliability and admissibility. The sheriff told NBC that Nancy "was harmed at the home" before retracting the statement as a misstatement. Law enforcement walking back public comments in a case this high-profile doesn't go unnoticed — by the public or by defense attorneys preparing for what comes next. The Guthrie family released a video statement that former federal law enforcement analysts characterized as heavily scripted and strategically directed. Savannah Guthrie asked for proof of life and personalized her mother — language designed to serve both emotional and investigative functions. The FBI has posted a fifty-thousand-dollar reward. The president has committed federal resources. Tips are pouring in. Nancy requires daily medication the sheriff described as potentially life-threatening to go without, and her age and limited mobility push sentencing exposure higher under both Arizona and federal guidelines. Robin Dreeke, former FBI Special Agent and head of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, explains how investigators separate genuine grief from deception and what forensic extraction reveals beyond raw data. Defense attorney Eric Faddis walks through the prosecution's building blocks — DNA interpretation, jurisdiction strategy, and how every public statement from law enforcement becomes potential ammunition at trial.#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #FBIReward #BitcoinRansom #RobinDreeke #EricFaddis #TucsonKidnapping #TrueCrime2026 #HiddenKillers #ForensicEvidenceJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Breaking news continues to unfold in the alarming disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC host Savannah Guthrie, as investigators release critical surveillance footage ten days into what has become one of the most closely watched missing person cases in the country. The true crime investigation has intensified following the emergence of ransom notes sent not to the family directly, but to local media outlets and TMZ, raising serious questions about motive and authenticity. Law enforcement sources have confirmed that the notes were sent in sequence, first to local stations and then hours later to national media, suggesting a calculated effort to generate publicity rather than secure payment.Now, newly recovered surveillance video shows an armed suspect approaching Nancy Guthrie's residence with a backpack, gloves, and a concealed firearm. The footage, believed to have been retrieved with assistance from federal authorities and Nest security systems, captures a methodical intruder who appears familiar with the property's camera placement. The front door camera had been removed during the incident, complicating the evidence trail. Investigators are analyzing every detail: the suspect's holster positioning, the partially exposed firearm, reflective elements on the backpack, the distinctive mask, and even facial characteristics visible through the covering.Authorities have not confirmed whether Nancy Guthrie is alive, but reports indicate no shell casings or confirmed gunfire at the scene. Forensic evidence, including what appears to be blood droplets leading away from the residence, is under examination as FBI agents work around the clock. Over 100 federal agents are reportedly assigned to the case, tracking manufacturers of the suspect's gear and canvassing retailers in and around Tucson for purchase records.The timeline remains a critical factor in this breaking true crime investigation. Questions persist about why ransom demands would be sent days after the abduction, particularly after law enforcement involvement was already public. Was this an attempt at psychological manipulation? A distraction? Or part of a larger plan?As the search for Nancy Guthrie continues, the public is being urged to study the released footage carefully. Every detail could be the key to solving this high-profile missing person case. With national media attention and FBI resources deployed, the investigation remains active and urgent as authorities work to bring answers—and potentially justice—in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #MissingPerson #TrueCrime #BreakingNews #FBIInvestigation #KidnappingCase #RansomNote #CrimeNews #JusticeForNancy

Michael McKee is charged with murdering his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer. Surveillance footage allegedly shows his car near the scene. A firearm from his Chicago condo matched through national ballistics databases. Witnesses say Monique told them he'd threatened her for years—that he could "kill her at any time," that she'd "always be his wife." His phone went silent during the killings. Everyone already thinks he's guilty.Defense attorney Bob Motta asks the questions nobody else wants to ask. That surveillance footage everyone's treating as a smoking gun—how reliable is it really? The hearsay testimony from friends—Monique's not alive to testify. Can prosecutors even use it? The phone going dark sounds damning, but Bob explains what juries don't hear about digital evidence.Then there's the psychology of the not guilty plea. McKee waived extradition immediately and his bail hearing while reserving future rights. Most people think that signals defeat. Forensic experts see something else—what they call the "game player." Defendants who view prosecution as competition rather than consequence. The same pattern seen in Scott Peterson, Chris Watts, Ted Bundy. Men facing overwhelming evidence who refused to fold.The same detachment that allows someone to treat a murder trial as an intellectual exercise may be the same detachment that allows them to commit the act. For the game player, other people aren't fully real. They're pieces on a board. The trial isn't punishment—it's the championship round.This is an aggravated murder charge. Prosecutors must prove premeditation—not just that he did it, but that he planned it. Eight years passed between the divorce and the murders. Bob Motta explains why that timeline works for the defense as much as the prosecution.McKee has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent until proven guilty.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #BobMotta #DefenseAttorney #AggravatedMurder #GamePlayerPsychology #ColumbusOhio #TrueCrimeToday #DoubleHomicideJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The grand jury investigating the death of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez has been running since mid-November 2025 and is now in its most aggressive phase. D4VD's close friend Neo Langston was arrested by seven officers in Montana for failing to appear and testified for approximately thirty to forty minutes. Label head Robert Morgenroth was grilled for multiple days about why he never went to police. Outside forensic experts have been brought in due to reported friction with the LA County Medical Examiner. The ME's chief publicly criticized a court-ordered hold on autopsy findings.D4VD's Tesla — where the remains were discovered — was held by LAPD for only forty-eight hours. Investigators have reportedly built a minute-by-minute digital reconstruction of D4VD's movements. Multiple sources say an indictment is coming. No charges have been filed. No arrests made.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down what the prosecutorial aggression signals, how investigators separate accessories from co-conspirators, and what the length of this grand jury really means for the case.#D4VD #CelesteRivasHernandez #GrandJury #TrueCrimeToday #NeoLangston #LAPD #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #RobberyHomicideJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tonight on Police Off The Cuff, retired NYPD detectives break down the latest explosive developments in the kidnapping investigation of Nancy Guthrie. Investigators have executed a new search of Annie Guthrie's home, returned to Nancy's vehicle and residence for additional forensic processing, and the family has released a powerful new message directly to the kidnappers pleading for her safe return. What prompted these renewed searches? Are detectives zeroing in on someone close to the family? And why are the kidnappers still refusing to provide verifiable proof of life? From a law-enforcement perspective, we analyze: • What a second search usually signals in a major case• Forensic priorities inside Nancy's car and home• The strategy behind the family's public message• Behavioral indicators of organized vs. disorganized offenders• Digital trails investigators are likely pursuing right now• Where this case may be headed in the critical next 48 hours We also discuss investigative checklists—cell phone mapping, license plate readers, financial activity, neighborhood canvasses—and how each piece fits into the larger timeline. This is real-time analysis from detectives who have worked kidnappings, homicides, and major missing-person cases. No speculation—just experience-based insight.

The official narrative states that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in August 2019, with the New York City Medical Examiner citing hanging as the cause of death. Authorities pointed to Epstein's earlier suicide attempt, his looming trial, and his isolation as supporting factors. Surveillance footage, though partially compromised, showed no outsiders entering the secure unit where Epstein was housed. The Department of Justice and FBI ultimately concluded there was no evidence of criminal activity, framing Epstein's death as the result of personal despair combined with catastrophic lapses in prison oversight.Yet, a powerful counter-narrative argues Epstein was murdered. Forensic anomalies, including neck fractures more common in strangulation than hanging, drew expert skepticism. Security protocols collapsed simultaneously: guards failed to check on him, cameras malfunctioned, his cellmate was removed, and excess bedding provided the means for ligatures. Combined with Epstein's alleged fears for his life, his ties to powerful figures, and the explosive release of documents naming high-profile associates just a day earlier, many see his death as too convenient to be coincidence. These factors have left the public divided, with compelling reasons to doubt the official suicide conclusion and to suspect Epstein's demise was the result of foul play.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Sixteen bullets. Two victims. Two children left crying in a house with their dead parents. The autopsy reports for Spencer and Monique Tepe are now public — and they paint a brutal picture of what happened inside that Weinland Park bedroom on December 30th. Every wound was to the upper body. Both victims had defensive injuries. The trajectories show they moved, turned, tried to escape. The shooting continued anyway.This episode breaks down the forensic signature of the crime and what it tells us about the psychology of the person accused of committing it. Michael McKee — Monique's ex-husband — allegedly waited eight and a half years after their divorce before allegedly executing her and her new husband. Court documents describe years of alleged threats, stalking behavior, and an obsession that never faded. He allegedly told her she would "always be his wife" and that he could "kill her at any time."Forensic psychologists call this pattern a "grievance collector" — someone who catalogs wounds to their ego and nurtures them for years until the grievance becomes justification. McKee's alleged behavior fits this profile precisely. The surveillance weeks before the murders. The stolen license plates. The phone going dark the night of the killings. The sticker scraped off his vehicle afterward.What makes this case uniquely disturbing is the combination of explosive violence and meticulous control. A full magazine emptied, but confined to the bedroom. Children left unharmed but orphaned. And a suspect who allegedly drove home and went back to work. That's not rage. That's architecture.#MichaelMcKee #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #TepeCase #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #ForensicPsychology #GrievanceCollector #ColumbusHomicide #DomesticViolenceMurderJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Forensic extraction devices at the daughter's home. A sheriff calling suspect reports reckless. A family video scripted by investigators. More than a hundred people working the case and not a single suspect named. The investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is now as much about reading the people around her as finding the person who took her.Agents were photographed entering the home of Annie Guthrie and Tommaso Cioni — the last people to see Nancy before she disappeared — carrying what appears to be a Cellebrite device used to extract encrypted and deleted data from phones. The sheriff says that is standard. He also says there are no suspects, no persons of interest, and that reporting otherwise is irresponsible.Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, Robin Dreeke — former FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — returns for Part 2 to break down how investigators behaviorally assess the people in a victim's world. How they separate grief from guilt. What digital forensic extraction reveals about a person beyond the files on their phone. How massive media attention and public accusations reshape the entire investigation. And what happens when a case with this much heat goes quiet.Your questions. Robin's answers.

About the Lecture: The Israeli, a novel by veteran journalist Phil Kurata, is set in the years 1947 to 1965, after the end of World War II, when in the Middle East, newly independent countries were shaking off the colonial powers of Britain and France. It reimagines the life of famed spy Eli Cohen. Beginning in Alexandria, Egypt, it transitions to a nascent Israel and then to Syria, where Cohen spies for the Israelis. Steeped in the food and the culture of the Middle East at that formative period, it takes a hard-eyed view of racism and prejudice on both the Israeli and Arab sides. It takes the reader on a deep dive into the intractable and often vicious conflicts that split the region today. About the Speaker: Phillip Kurata is a novelist and former journalist who grew up in Lawrence, Kansas, and earned a bachelor's degree in French literature and a master's degree in Asian Studies from the University of Kansas. He studied at the University of Tunis in the mid-1960s, and—as a fluent French speaker—he returned to Tunisia as a Peace Corps Volunteer and a public health educator. He got into journalism while studying Chinese in Taiwan, writing for the Far Eastern Economic Review. He later worked for United Press International, Agence France Presse and Voice of America in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Beijing, France, and Washington, DC. Phil served for many years as a writer with the U.S. Department of State, based in Washington, DC. His first novel, The Reluctant Agent, was published by Washington Writers' Publishing House as the Fiction Prize winner. His most recent novel, The Israeli, published in 2024, is a fictionalized story of the legendary Israeli spy, Eli Cohen, and examines the destructive power of ethnic hatred.

The Kouri Richins trial begins in weeks. The defense says key witness Robert Crozier has recanted — now claiming he sold OxyContin, not fentanyl. The prosecution says the totality of evidence still proves murder. Both sides are fighting over texts, timelines, and witness credibility.But there's one test that could cut through all of it.Eric Richins' hair.Forensic hair analysis can detect fentanyl exposure going back ninety days or more. Segmental testing can show whether someone used drugs chronically over weeks and months — or was exposed to a single acute dose. If Eric had a secret fentanyl habit, his hair would reveal it. If he had no prior exposure before the night he died, his hair would reveal that too.This is the evidence that could definitively answer the central question: Was Eric Richins murdered, or did he accidentally overdose?According to charging documents, Eric died with approximately five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system. The medical examiner determined it was illicit fentanyl, ingested orally. The defense says Eric was a partier. The prosecution says Kouri poisoned him for insurance money. But neither side has publicly raised the one forensic test that could prove their case beyond witness testimony.Why not?This episode breaks down the science of hair follicle drug testing, what we know and don't know about evidence collected at Eric's autopsy, and why both sides may have strategic reasons to avoid the most definitive evidence available.If Eric was buried, the truth may still be recoverable. The question is whether anyone wants to find it.Kouri Richins is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.#KouriRichins #EricRichins #KouriRichinsTrial #FentanylPoisoning #HairDrugTest #ForensicEvidence #UtahMurderTrial #MoscowMuleMurder #TrueCrime #RobertCrozierJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The DNA evidence in the Paul Caneiro trial is now on the record, and it's devastating. Forensic scientists testified that blood from eight-year-old Sophia Caneiro was found in three locations on jeans recovered from her uncle Paul's basement — shin, calf, and thigh. Her eleven-year-old brother Jesse's DNA was there too. A surgical glove fused to the jeans by frozen water also carried Sophia's DNA. These items were found fourteen miles from where both children were stabbed to death in Colts Neck. Sophia suffered seventeen stab wounds. According to findings cited in court, she may have still been alive when the fire started beneath her. Prosecutors say whoever killed those kids wore those jeans, wore that glove, and brought them home. That's the physical link tying Paul Caneiro to this crime. Meanwhile, testimony confirmed Keith Caneiro was killed with a contact or near-contact shot through his hood — an execution-style wound delivered while he was already down. The night before, Keith had confronted Paul about $77,000 missing from a family trust. The defense is pushing contamination theories and questioning the investigation, but the children's blood is in Paul's basement. That's what the jury has to reconcile. This episode covers the Day 12 testimony and what it means for the case.#PaulCaneiro #CaneiroTrial #HiddenKillers #ColtsNeckMurders #DNAEvidence #TrueCrimePodcast #SophiaCaneiro #JesseCaneiro #QuadrupleMurder #ForensicEvidenceJoin 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
Michael McKee faces two counts of aggravated murder for the shooting deaths of Spencer and Monique Tepe. The evidence against him — according to court filings and police statements — includes surveillance footage, ballistics evidence, a cell phone that went dark during the murder window, and years of documented threats against his ex-wife Monique.He pleaded not guilty.This episode explores a psychological pattern that emerges in cases where evidence is overwhelming but defendants refuse to fold. Forensic psychologists call it narcissistic grandiosity with antisocial features. We call it the game player. These are defendants who view prosecution not as consequence but as competition — the final arena to prove they're the smartest person in the room.We examine the parallels to Scott Peterson's detached courtroom demeanor, Chris Watts treating investigators like marks he could con, and Ted Bundy transforming his trial into performance art. The common thread: a fundamental inability to view other people as fully real. Victims become obstacles. Murder becomes a move. Trial becomes the championship round.According to the unsealed affidavit, McKee allegedly told Monique he could "kill her at any time," that he would "find her and buy the house next to her," and that she would "always be his wife." If prosecutors' allegations are accurate, the game started long before December 30th, 2025.The same psychology that allows someone to treat their murder trial as a puzzle may be the same psychology that allowed them to allegedly commit the crime.McKee is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Host Scott Sorrell begins the episode by setting expectations for a science-first conversation on chelated trace minerals, noting panelist affiliations while emphasizing that the discussion is grounded in research, not promotion. Stephen Ashmead, Senior Fellow for Chelates with Balchem, shares the origins of chelated mineral technology through Albion Laboratories, founded in 1956 by his grandfather, Harvey Ashmead, after recognizing challenges with mineral absorption. The conversation also introduces Dr. Bill Weiss of The Ohio State University and co-host Dr. Maria Spinola, who brings both veterinary and applied nutrition perspectives to the discussion. (00:08)The panel explains chelated minerals from a chemistry standpoint, describing how organic ligands form stable ring structures around trace minerals, helping protect them from antagonists in feed and water. The discussion also extends beyond dairy into human nutrition, including examples such as magnesium and iron, highlighting how mineral interactions affect absorption across species. (09:20)Dr. Weiss and Dr. Spinola discuss emerging research showing that mineral sources can influence rumen and intestinal microbial populations. The group also explores how inorganic minerals can accelerate the degradation of vitamins A and E in premixes, particularly over time and under heat, whereas organic minerals are largely inert and help preserve vitamin potency. (14:20)The panel acknowledges the difficulty of trace mineral research due to limited biomarkers and subtle performance responses. They emphasize the importance of using averages for forage mineral contributions rather than relying on single samples, and caution against assuming zero mineral supply from forages. (25:00)A candid discussion centers on over-supplementation, with consensus that many diets exceed trace mineral requirements, particularly for copper and vitamins. Dr. Weiss explains the difference between requirements and recommendations, noting that modest safety margins are justified to account for biological variability, but feeding two to three times the requirements increases cost and risk without clear benefit. (37:57)The episode concludes with a warning against “too-good-to-be-true” organic mineral products, explaining why unusually high metal percentages often indicate inferior chemistry. The panelists emphasize that mineral quality, ligand structure and supplier credibility are important in the long term. The panel's final takeaways reinforce feeding minerals thoughtfully, enough to meet needs, but not in excess. Lastly, you need to consider the microbiome effects, vitamin stability and consistency in delivery when feeding these mineral products. (49:41)

Donate to Criminal Behaviorology Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/cw/u81930699Towards the end of 2025 I was invited on a panel to discuss applied behavior analysis and scope of practice. My specialty area had to do with (you guessed) crime and behavior analysis. I saved my modest contribution, and will present it here now. Just my point of view. Enjoy.Highlights:- My beginnings in the field, and where I see the combined specialties of crime, forensics, and behavior analysis at this point in time.- How graduate students can prepare themselves for their own work in this area.- Inpatient care, and how behavior analytic interventions can gain greater acceptance.- Other licenses and qualifications (in brief before the camera power ran out).Look up CrimBehav on Facebook: facebook.com/CrimBehav.Criminal Behaviorology on Blogger.

The city of Austin found itself in a predicament in late 1988. A horrific crime was committed against a young mother in broad daylight, in a well known establishment on a busy street. The unsolved crime would largely impact the city's reputation for having the lowest crime rate of all of Texas's great cities…so it was time to solve the murder of Nancy DePriest, let's see how they did it.Instagram: TruecrimecouplePatreon.com/truecrimecouple | Join for ad free episodes and two bonus episodes a month!Sponsors:True Crime Society PodcastSources:https://exonerationregistry.org/cases/10386https://law.justia.com/cases/texas/third-court-of-appeals/1991/4881.htmlhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/649638052/?match=1&terms=nancy%20depriesthttps://www.newspapers.com/image/364054228/?match=1&terms=nancy%20depriesthttps://www.newspapers.com/image/363966719/?match=1&terms=nancy%20depriesthttps://www.facebook.com/groups/742034912983989/posts/2019627575224710/https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/hector-polanco-andre-causey-false-confessions/https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/burden/innocents/danziger.htmlhttps://www.themarshallproject.org/2017/03/09/facing-her-daughter-s-killer-at-lasthttps://www.justice.gov/archives/dag/file/877741/dl?inline=#:~:text=Forensic%20hair%20examiners%20generally%20recognize,Forensic%20Examination%20ofhttps://nij.ojp.gov/nij-hosted-online-training-courses/crime-scene-and-dna-basics-forensic-analysts/history-and-types-forensic-dna-testing/polymerase-chain-reaction-pcr/dq-alphahttps://www.kvue.com/article/news/crime/true-crime/austin-police-hector-polanco-yogurt-shop-murders/269-160c495f-9212-420c-ad47-edf02bea3d5ahttps://law.wisc.edu/fjr/clinicals/ip/https://innocenceproject.org/about/#:~:text=We've%20helped%20free%20more,and%20advance%20the%20innocence%20movement.https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2006-jun-21-me-confess21-story.htmlhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/261908704/richard_edward-danziger

Happy New Year 2026! The boys are back in town, with a new game: Regional Quirkisms. After discussing Minnesota quirkisms, the guys answer a listener question from Ireland: "What's the most number of corresponding minutiae that you have seen from two impressions from different sources?". This leads to a deep dive on close non-matches. The guys share their tips, tricks, and red flag warnings for dealing with close non-matches. They discuss a few examples and talk about the relevant research on this topic.
In this episode of 'One in Ten,' host Teresa Huizar speaks with Liisa Järvilehto, a psychologist and Ph.D. candidate at the University of Helsinki, about the positive uses of AI in child abuse investigations and forensic interviews. The conversation addresses the common misuse of AI and explores its potential in assisting professionals by proposing hypotheses, generating question sets, and more. The discussion delves into the application of large language models (LLMs) in generating alternative hypotheses and the nuances of using these tools to avoid confirmation bias in interviews. Huizar and Järvilehto also touch on the practical implications for current practitioners and future research directions.

Episode 173 DNA ID Replay Kim Bryant and Diana Hanson While Jess is on winter break preparing new episodes of DNA ID for 2026, we are airing some of our favorite one part episodes weekly in what we call 'DNA ID Replay' episodes. These Replay episodes will air every week while on break with the exception of Christmas week. In this episode, we explore the case of Kim Bryant and Diana Hanson which originally aired in episode 37. 1979 Las Vegas, a weekday morning. 16 year old Kim Bryant was at a Dairy Queen waiting for her ride – and then she was gone. Her body was found a month later, sexually assaulted, beaten and murdered. A notorious serial killer was the only real suspect – he was executed in Texas, but he didn't kill her. When a tip came in in 2019, new testing was conducted on the biological evidence in Kim's case that isolated a male DNA profile. Forensic genealogy led to the name of a suspect, and further testing of his living relatives revealed that he was the killer of Kim Bryant. But naming him also allowed the LVMPD to close another cold case – the 1983 abduction, rape and murder of 22 year old Diana Hanson. The same killer had struck twice – at least.

On Saturday, November 16, 1996, thirty-six year old Sandra Jacobson and her five year old son, John, went mysteriously missing from Bismarck, ND. After arriving late for dinner at her parents home, Sandy left to fill her gas tank and never returned. Neither she nor John have been seen again.The following morning her car was found abandoned in a parking lot adjacent to the Missouri River, which was nearly frozen over. The initial investigation found claims that Sandy might have been suffering from a mental health crisis and may have jumped into the river with her child.However, it was soon learned that Sandy had called the Bismarck Police Department hours before her disappearance. She informed them that there was a satanic cult operating on a farm not far from her home and she felt her son was in danger from them. She hung up shortly thereafter and her claims were never investigated.A new investigator, nearly a decade later, would break the case open, wondering if perhaps Sandy's disappearance might have something to do with her estranged husband and several inaccurate statements he'd previously made to detectives. Was Sandy the victim of foul play or did a loving mother, in the midst of a mental health crisis, commit an unthinkable act?FollowTEPod.comClick here to Submit a Question for the Trace Evidence Q&A episodeFollow Trace Evidence on Social MediaTwitter --- Instagram --- TikTok --- YouTube --- Like Facebook Page --- Join Facebook Group --- Threads --- Like MeWe Page --- Join MeWe Group --- BlueskySuppport Trace EvidencePatreon --- Paypal --- Cash App --- Buy Me A CoffeeTrace Evidence Merch ShopsTeePublic --- ShopTEPod --- SpreadshopAll Other LinksOfficial Trace Evidence Website --- LinkTreeMusic Courtesy of:"Lost Time" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Echoes of Time" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"Galactic Rap" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/#truecrimepodcast #unsolvedmysteries #coldcase #coldcaseinvestigation #murder #murdermystery #missingperson #missingpersons #truecrimecommunity #mysterypodcast #truecrime #coldcasefiles #truecrimestories #crimelovers #truecrimeaddict #truecrimejunkie #crimescene #justiceforall #missing #crimesquad #podcastcommunity #sleuthsunite #darkhistories #criminalmindset #detective #detectivediaries #forensics #forensicfiles #crimestories #crimepodcast #traceevidence #traceevidencepodcast #criminalinvestigation #justiceforvictims #detectivework #truecrimediscussion #podcastfamily #listenandsolve #crimefans #listentotraceevidence #uncoverthetruth #podcastrecommendations #podcastlove #podcastlife #truecrimeobsessed #followtheclues #cluefinders #podcastaddict #unsolvedmurders #unsolveddisappearances #detectiveatheart #jointheinvestigation #disappearance #vanishing #abduction #gonemissing #upandvanished #pacheco #stevenpacheco #podcasting #crimetalk #crimeanalysis #theories #sandrajacobson #sandyjacobson #johnjacobson #bismarck #northdakota #bismarcknd #alanjacobsonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trace-evidence--3207798/support.
Surveillance video and phone records took center stage on day three of the Brendan Banfield double murder trial as prosecutors worked to corroborate au pair Juliana Peres Magalhães's testimony with hard evidence. The jury watched footage from a McDonald's near the Banfield home showing the defendant waiting in the parking lot on the morning of February 24, 2023. At 7:37 AM, Banfield is seen leaving the bathroom with his phone pressed to his ear — matching call records that show Juliana phoned him at that exact moment.According to testimony, that call was the signal that Joseph Ryan had arrived at the house. Ryan was allegedly lured there through months of messages on the fetish website FetLife from someone he believed was Christine Banfield — but who prosecutors say was actually Brendan posing as his wife.Forensic testimony revealed Brendan's DNA was not on the knife allegedly used to kill Christine, but forensic scientist Katherine Colombo noted that police let him wash his hands before collecting samples. Blood on Banfield's jeans matched Christine's DNA. Fingerprint examiner Douglas Gudakunst testified that prints on the knife were inconclusive between Banfield and Ryan.Detectives also showed the jury photographs from eight months after the murders when they returned with a warrant. The master bedroom where Christine died had been completely transformed — new flooring, new furniture, and photos of Brendan with Juliana replacing images of Brendan with his late wife. Juliana had moved into that bedroom.Prosecutors established Banfield purchased a firearm less than a month before the killings and allegedly spent $30,000 on soundproof windows.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Day three of the Brendan Banfield double murder trial delivered explosive testimony from Fairfax County detectives who revealed that just eight months after Christine Banfield was stabbed to death in her own bedroom, au pair Juliana Peres Magalhães had moved into that same room. Crime scene photographs showed the blood-stained carpet had been replaced with new wood flooring, the furniture swapped out, and framed photos of Brendan and Christine replaced with images of Brendan and Juliana together.Prosecutors played McDonald's surveillance video showing Brendan Banfield waiting in the parking lot on the morning of February 24, 2023 — exactly as Juliana testified. Phone records confirmed she called him at 7:37 AM, allegedly signaling that Joseph Ryan had arrived at the house. Call logs also showed both Brendan and Juliana made calls to Christine's phone that morning — the same phone prosecutors say was hidden in a kitchen drawer while she slept.Forensic scientist Katherine Colombo testified that Brendan Banfield's DNA was not found on the murder knife, but noted police allowed him to wash his hands before samples were collected. Blood spatter on Banfield's jeans matched Christine's DNA. Fingerprint examiner Douglas Gudakunst said prints on the knife were inconclusive between Banfield and victim Joseph Ryan.Prosecutors also established that Banfield purchased a gun less than a month before the murders and took Juliana to a shooting range twice in the weeks prior. They alleged he spent over $30,000 on triple-pane windows to muffle sounds like gunshots from inside the home.The prosecution announced they have only a few witnesses remaining. Trial resumes Tuesday, January 20th after the MLK holiday weekend.#BrendanBanfield #AuPairAffair #ChristineBanfield #JulianaMagalhaes #FairfaxCounty #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #JosephRyan #FetLife #DoubleHomicideJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Idaho prosecutors have responded to Lori Vallow Daybell's appeal with a 59-page filing that systematically rejects every constitutional claim she raised. The convicted child killer argued her Sixth Amendment rights were violated when the court removed her attorney Mark Means. Prosecutors revealed Means simultaneously represented both Lori and her co-defendant husband Chad Daybell — with Chad paying the legal fees and sharing privileged information. That's a textbook conflict of interest, and the court was right to intervene. Her speedy trial claim falls apart under scrutiny: 353 days of delay came from her own competency evaluations, and she requested the venue change that added months to the timeline. The state's brief is blunt — she caused most of the delay, then complained about it. The Arizona evidence she wanted excluded proved the "dark spirit" murder pattern that connected Charles Vallow's death to the killings in Idaho. Same MO, same actors, same financial motive. Forensic testimony established JJ Vallow died of asphyxiation with a plastic bag over his head and duct tape binding his body. Tylee Ryan's remains were burned beyond recognition. Their mother collected Social Security benefits for months after they were dead. Chad Daybell sits on death row. Lori Vallow is serving three consecutive life sentences. This appeal won't change that.#LoriVallowDaybell #ChadDaybell #BreakingNews #TrueCrime #IdahoMurders #Appeal #CultMom #JJVallow #TyleeRyan #CourtNewsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
