Before sixteen children were found in a single room in Hamden, the Siders family left behind another house in Gallia County — and a renovator says he found it in the same condition.SOURCES, LINKS, AND PRINT VERSION: https://weirddarkness.com/siderscase20260722Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Police in Hamden, Ohio thought they were serving a misdemeanor warrant for indecent exposure when they entered the Siders family home on June 30, 2026. Instead, investigators say they discovered 16 children, ranging from 18 months to 18 years old, living in horrific conditions inside a home filled with garbage, human waste, and overwhelming filth. Authorities allege many of the children were confined to a single 12-by-12-foot room, several were unable to communicate, and nine required emergency medical treatment, with two flown to a children's hospital. Ohio's attorney general described the scene as "pure evil." The investigation revealed Gary Siders Jr. married Elizabeth Russell in 2008 after she became pregnant at just 15 years old. According to her attorney, Elizabeth has given birth to all 16 children found in the home and had been isolated from the outside world since leaving school in the ninth grade. The case has sparked widespread debate over whether she should be viewed solely as one of the accused or also as a victim. Investigators also found the family had spent years moving from county to county, limiting contact with schools, neighbors, and extended relatives before settling in rural Vinton County. Gary Siders Jr., Elizabeth Russell, Gary Siders Sr., and Christina Siders have each been charged with 16 felony counts of child endangerment and have pleaded not guilty. Authorities say additional charges remain possible as the investigation continues. While three defendants remain jailed on $300,000 bond, Gary Siders Sr. was released for medical treatment and will be monitored if discharged. Meanwhile, all 16 children remain in state care as officials work to provide medical treatment, counseling, and long-term support. #TrueCrimeRecaps #GarySidersJr #ElizabethRussell #GarySidersSr #ChristinaSiders #OhioHouseOfHorrors #HamdenOhio #SidersCase Learn more about your ad choices.

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?

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?

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?

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we cover the Siders family! On June 30th, 2026, sheriff's deputies and state agents went to a house on Ohmer Street in Hamden, Ohio, a village of about 700 people in Vinton County, to serve a warrant on something unrelated. What they found inside was 16 children, ages roughly 18 months to 18, allegedly kept for most of four years in one small room in filth. Four adults were arrested, the grandparents, and the kids' mom and dad. Tonight we get into how a family of 20 ended up in that house, the marriage at the root of it that started when the mom was 15, the homeschool loophole that kept these kids off everyone's radar, and the county-by-county gaps in Ohio's child services that let it go this long.

There's a skill an eighteen-year-old in the Siders case never picked up, and it's not for lack of effort — her mind formed inside a house with no school, no strangers, no outside world at all. Sixteen kids, one Hamden, Ohio address, and a town of seven hundred that claims total ignorance.Tony and Robin start with the timing that makes this case so hard to sit with: silence before the arrests, then a wealth of detail after. A Dollar General employee suddenly remembered years of specifics — clothing, hygiene, the family's odd shopping hours — the moment reporters came calling. A neighbor insists six years passed without her seeing a single child. Regular delivery drivers who encountered the oldest son noticed nothing worth flagging. The Attorney General points to deliberate record-avoidance, which is accurate — but that kind of avoidance only works with cooperation from everyone nearby.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott then explains what that isolation did to the children's development. She pushes back on the AG's "almost feral" framing and describes what actually happens to a mind that grows up entirely cut off. A number of the sixteen can't communicate verbally, and Scott lays out what tends to form between siblings who've only had each other as a language source. None of them knew their life was atypical — that house was the only reality they had. Scott closes with the Turpin case as the clearest comparison point: national sympathy and freedom didn't guarantee safety for those thirteen kids either.One town's blind spot, one house's cost — this episode puts them side by side.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
There's a basic skill an eighteen-year-old in the Siders case never developed, and it's not because nobody tried — it's because her mind formed inside a sealed-off house with no school, no strangers, no world beyond four walls. Sixteen children, one Hamden, Ohio address, and a town that swears it saw nothing.Tony and Robin trace how that silence held for years. A Dollar General employee produced a flawless account of the family the moment reporters asked — hygiene, clothing, shopping habits, all recalled in detail. Before the arrests, none of it surfaced. A neighbor a few doors down claims six years without spotting a child. DoorDash drivers who regularly encountered the oldest son noticed nothing worth reporting. The Attorney General points to deliberate record-avoidance by the family — accurate, but avoidance like that only works when the people nearby choose not to look closer.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott then walks through what that isolation actually did to the children inside. She takes apart the AG's description of them as "almost feral," explaining what that label leaves out. Some of the sixteen can't speak in any conventional way, and Scott describes what forms between siblings who've only ever had each other for language. None of them knew their situation was unusual — that house was simply the world, and unlearning that takes time. Scott raises the Turpin case as the clearest precedent: freedom and sympathy didn't guarantee safety for those thirteen kids either.Two questions, one house, no easy answer for either.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
Sixteen children were living in a house in Hamden, Ohio, and for years the people closest to that house managed not to see a single one of them. That's the part of the Siders case Tony Brueski won't let go of. It starts with an accident. Deputies in Vinton County went to that address to serve a warrant on an unrelated matter — not a welfare check, not a tip about children. Ohio's Attorney General has confirmed nobody expected to find kids inside. The school district had no enrollment records for any of them. The oldest is eighteen and, according to investigators, couldn't write her own name. Then the neighborhood starts talking. Store employees describe years of odd details — the clothing, the hygiene, the closing-time shopping trips — all recalled with perfect clarity only after arrests made the news. A man who lived seventy feet from that house says he never once saw a child there in six years. A psychotherapist breaks down the exact mental shortcuts behind that kind of blindness, and why they're not unique to this town. Four adults are charged with sixteen counts each of second-degree felony child endangering. All four have entered not-guilty pleas. No indictment has come down yet. From there, Tony widens the lens: a mandated-reporter system built on duty with almost no teeth behind it, a child-welfare funding model that rewards removal over discovery, and a case out of Washington, D.C. where four girls died inside a system a federal judge had personally overseen for nineteen years. Sixteen kids, found by luck. Ask yourself what it would've taken to find them on purpose.

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

A judge in Vinton County just signed a gag order that prevents the attorney general's office, the county prosecutor, and the sheriff from making any public statement about the case of sixteen children found in a Hamden, Ohio, home. The day before the order was signed, Ohio approved one million dollars in emergency funding to care for those same children.The order was filed by the defense attorney for Gary Siders Junior, whose unrelated indecent exposure warrant is the only reason deputies ever entered that house. Officials had described what they found — children crammed into a twelve-by-twelve-foot room, unable to communicate, living in conditions compared to livestock pens. The defense argued the language would poison the jury pool. The judge agreed.Truancy records from 2021 show Gallia County knew six Siders children had vanished from school. The cases were closed when the family couldn't be served. Gary Senior was released because the county couldn't afford his medical bills — a fact disclosed at a press conference that would now be prohibited under the gag order. The people who found those children and spoke publicly about the failures that let it happen are the same people who can no longer tell you anything about it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

That's the line the Vinton County sheriff used after his deputies walked into a five-room house on Ohmer Street in Hamden, Ohio, looking to serve a misdemeanor warrant and instead found sixteen children living inside. Some couldn't speak. Some couldn't read. None had ever been enrolled in a school.The Ohio Attorney General went further, calling the conditions "pure evil" and saying another day could have ended in deaths. Four adults are now charged with sixty-eight felony counts of child endangerment, with a grand jury still to come and more charges possible. The AG's choice of the word intrafamilial is the kind of detail that tells you the full picture isn't public yet.What's striking is how the system missed this for eighteen years straight. Sixteen children, all born in hospitals, arriving roughly once every thirteen months — and not a single medical professional ever flagged the pattern. Ohio's 2023 rollback of homeschool oversight meant no school system ever came looking either. And Elizabeth Siders, one of the four now facing charges, was married herself at fifteen, with a judge's sign-off, in a state with no minimum marriage age on the books.Tony breaks down the case for the True Crime Today audience: the warrant that accidentally exposed it, the institutions that had every opportunity to catch it sooner, and the uncomfortable question at the center of it — whether the state that approved Elizabeth Siders' marriage at fifteen bears some responsibility for what happened to her children two decades later.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 attorney general called it pure evil. The sheriff said livestock lived better. A judge just ordered both of them — along with the prosecutor, the clerk, and all defense counsel — to stop talking about the Siders case publicly.The gag order was requested by Gary Siders Junior's attorney after officials described what they found inside a Hamden, Ohio, home: sixteen children in a twelve-by-twelve-foot room, covered in filth, some barely able to speak. The stated purpose is protecting the jury pool in a county of about twelve thousand people. The practical effect is shutting down the public accountability conversation at the exact moment Ohio legislators started demanding answers.Court records from 2021 show Gallia County knew six Siders children had disappeared from school — and closed the file when the family couldn't be found. Gary Senior walked free on a recognizance bond because the county couldn't afford to hold him. Ohio approved a million dollars in emergency foster care funding. Every one of these facts was disclosed at a public press conference. Under the gag order, those press conferences cannot happen again. The officials who found those children are now the ones ordered to be quiet. The systems that never went looking have not been asked to say a word.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 Siders family in Hamden, Ohio, spent eighteen years as a family nobody on Ohmer Street could name. Then a Vinton County deputy showed up to serve a misdemeanor warrant and found sixteen children packed into a five-room house — some who'd never spoken a word, never learned to read, never seen the inside of a school.The Attorney General didn't mince words: "pure evil," conditions where another day might have meant deaths. The sheriff said the family's livestock had it better than the kids did. Four adults now face sixty-eight felony counts of child endangerment, and a grand jury hasn't even weighed in yet. The word the AG chose — intrafamilial — is doing a lot of quiet, heavy lifting in this case.What makes it land harder is how avoidable it should have been. Sixteen hospital births over eighteen years, roughly one every thirteen months, and not a single doctor or nurse raised a flag. Ohio gutted its homeschool oversight back in 2023, so no truancy officer ever came knocking. And Elizabeth Siders — one of the four adults now charged — was herself married at fifteen, with a judge's approval, in a state that sets no minimum age for marriage at all.Tony walks through how a household of eighteen people stayed invisible to hospitals, schools, and courts for two decades, and what it says about a state that keeps building the very blind spots that let this happen. This is the case that turns a routine warrant into a reckoning for three different institutions at once.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before there were sixteen children in a five-room house on Ohmer Street, there was one fifteen-year-old girl and a judge's signature on a marriage license — because Ohio, at the time, set no minimum age for marriage at all. That girl grew up to be Elizabeth Siders, and she's now one of four adults facing sixty-eight felony counts of child endangerment out of Hamden, Ohio.The case broke open when Vinton County deputies arrived to serve a misdemeanor warrant and instead found sixteen kids living in the house, several of whom couldn't speak or read and had never been enrolled in a school. The Attorney General called it "pure evil." The sheriff said livestock gets treated better. And the AG's use of the word intrafamilial hints this story isn't finished being told.Here's the part worth sitting with live: every one of those sixteen children was born in a hospital. One roughly every thirteen months, for eighteen years straight. Not one nurse or doctor said a word. Ohio gutted its homeschool oversight in 2023, which meant no school ever came looking for kids who didn't exist on paper. The state that let a fifteen-year-old get married with a judge's blessing is the same state that then lost track of her children for two decades.Tony's taking this one live — the marriage law, the hospital pattern, the oversight gap, and the four adults now facing charges — and opening the floor for the audience to weigh in on the question nobody's answered yet: was Elizabeth Siders the first victim in that house, or one of the people responsible for it?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nobody in the state of Ohio went looking for these sixteen children. Not one person, for years.They were found in a house in Hamden by deputies who were not there for them. The warrant was for something else. Ohio's Attorney General has said there was no expectation that any children were inside that home. The school district had no record. The neighbors had no idea. Investigators believe the family had moved across more than one Ohio county while generating almost none of the ordinary paperwork the rest of us leave behind. And the oldest of the sixteen, an eighteen-year-old, could not write her own name, according to investigators.Ohio has that name. The state issued her a birth certificate the year she was born and put it in a county drawer, where it has sat untouched while the young woman it belongs to grew up in that house.Tony Brueski traces this out of Vinton County and into the machine that produced it. A mandated-reporter system with a duty and no teeth. A single comparison from Washington, D.C., where four girls were found dead by marshals inside a system a federal judge had run for nineteen years. And a ten-billion-dollar funding structure built to open the moment a child is taken, and to pay nobody, ever, for going out to look.Four adults have pleaded not guilty to sixteen counts each of second-degree felony child endangering. No grand jury has returned an indictment.This was not a family that outsmarted the system. There was nothing to outsmart.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 officers who found the Siders children came to that house for something else entirely.Sixteen kids in Hamden, Ohio. Deputies at the front door on a warrant that had nothing to do with any of them. Ohio's Attorney General has said flatly that nobody knew there would be children inside. No school record. No neighbor who knew. No caseworker who had ever been out.The oldest of the sixteen is eighteen years old, and investigators said she could not write her own name. Court records indicate she was born when her mother was only fifteen. Ohio wrote that baby's name onto a birth certificate and filed it, and years later that paper is still in a county drawer, never looked at again.Tony Brueski asks what should be the only question anyone is asking: who was actually supposed to find her? He walks through a mandated-reporter system that carries a duty and almost no penalty for ignoring it, so a birth to a fifteen-year-old can pass without a single alarm going off. He holds up one comparison from Washington, D.C., where four girls were found dead nineteen years into a federal judge's supervision of that city's child welfare system. And he follows a ten-billion-dollar federal program whose money switches on the instant a child is removed, and never once switches on to go find one.All four Siders adults have pleaded not guilty to sixteen counts each of second-degree felony child endangering. No indictment has been returned.Sixteen children were found by accident. There is no accident coming for the rest of them.End LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Picture it honestly. You're in line at Dollar General. Same family as always — the quiet woman, the kids that look a little off, clothes not quite right, always near closing. You've noticed for months. Maybe years. There's a number you could call. You've never called it. Neither did anyone in Hamden, Ohio — and sixteen children paid for that silence with their childhoods.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins to explain why almost nobody makes that call, no matter how certain they are that they would. The psychology has a structure: first the mind minimizes what it saw, then it assigns responsibility elsewhere, then it constructs a reasonable explanation, and finally it forgets — all within seconds, all automatically, all while you keep believing you're the kind of person who acts. Scott has watched this machinery from inside the therapy room for a career, and she's blunt about how universal it is.The conversation ends where Tony wants every listener to sit: this case is not rare, discovery is rare, and the difference between the Siders children and the hidden children near you is one accidental warrant. What breaks the pattern isn't new laws. It's people who override the machinery. Scott explains what that override actually takes.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Most true crime cases have villains and bystanders. The Siders case erases the line between them. The four adults built the sealed world — but the town supplied the silence, the institutions supplied the blind spots, and the state supplied a legal framework that made eighteen years of hidden children not just possible but frictionless. This complete conversation between Tony and Robin refuses to let any of them off.The full discussion moves through all three fronts. Hamden first: the store clerk whose perfect recall arrived only after the arrests, the neighbor whose account defies physics, and the verdict on whether seven hundred people missed twenty or agreed not to see them. The institutions second: a ranked accounting of the hospitals, courts, schools, and welfare offices that each held a piece of this family's paper trail and never assembled the picture — plus the early signs of which one is already sanitizing its records. The reforms last: the prevention math Ohio ignores until the emergency checks start, the bystander free pass, and the Turpin warning about laws that memorialize instead of detect.It ends with the only fair question left: if everyone had a piece of this failure, what does accountability that matches the failure actually look like? The hosts don't agree — and that's the episode.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
Every stage of the Siders case runs on something unspoken. The town runs on a story that can't survive its own details. The agencies run on the hope that nobody audits eighteen years of missed obligations. And the aftermath runs on the oldest free pass in American life — the one that lets every person who noticed something say nothing and owe nothing. Tony and Robin trace the whole chain in this complete conversation.It opens in Hamden with the claims that don't add up: a store employee's years of catalogued observations that never became a phone call, a neighbor's six-year insistence that twenty people cast no shadow, a family the AG calls deliberately hidden that was somehow also employed, shopping, and paying taxes in plain sight. It moves through the institutional wreckage — the unfiled hospital reports, the West Virginia marriage license, the homeschool rollback and its already-retreating sponsor, the county files that reset with every move — and handicaps the race to bury the records. It closes on the reform math Ohio keeps refusing to do: a million dollars for aftermath versus a few hundred for the visit that never happened.The final exchange is the bet — charges, lawsuits, or legislation — and the hosts' split verdict says everything about how hard the next sixteen kids will be to find.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
"Almost feral." That's how Ohio's Attorney General described sixteen children when deputies pulled them out of a house in Hamden. The word ran in every headline. Some heard an honest description of catastrophic neglect. Others heard sixteen children being branded as animals in the national press on the worst day of their lives. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott takes the word apart — what Wilson was actually seeing, what the clinical picture behind it looks like, and whether the label follows these kids into every classroom and foster home they enter from here.The conversation moves through the developmental reality: brains that assembled themselves inside a sealed room, language that never formed because the only input was each other, an eighteen-year-old who can't write her name. Scott explains why these children aren't blank slates waiting to be filled in — they're fully formed people whose entire architecture was built for a world that no longer exists.And she confronts the question underneath all of it: whether learning that your whole life was a violation is a heavier injury than the violation itself — and what the Turpin outcomes warn about the road these sixteen kids are now walking.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Four adults are charged. But the blame in the Siders case doesn't stop at four — it spreads through a town that noticed and stayed silent, agencies that documented and never acted, a court that signed the license that started it, and a legislature that dismantled the one safeguard that might have caught it. Tony and Robin go live with the full conversation and put the question straight to the audience: rank the blame.Everything is on the board. Hamden's unanimous alibi and the details that shred it. The store clerk who remembered everything for reporters and reported nothing to authorities. The hospitals with sixteen unflagged deliveries and one unexamined tragedy. The senator sprinting from his own homeschool vote. The county-line file resets that gave the family a clean slate with every move. The million-dollar cleanup bill for a failure that prevention money never got the chance to stop. And the free pass every bystander held for eighteen years and never had to justify.The live chat drives the final segment — blame rankings, the Dollar General honesty test, and the charges-lawsuits-laws bet — because on this case, the audience's split verdict is the most honest polling Ohio is going to get.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Twenty human beings generate footprints. Trash. Grocery volume. Water usage. Noise through thin walls. Movement past windows. Twenty people in a five-room house next to railroad tracks produce evidence of themselves constantly, involuntarily, every hour of every day. And the official story out of Hamden, Ohio, is that for years, nobody registered any of it.Tony and Robin go live on the claim at the center of the Siders case. They walk through every touchpoint this family had with the outside world — the DoorDash routes, the Dollar General runs, the utility meters somebody read, the mail somebody delivered, the taxes somebody processed — and ask the audience directly: how many of these touchpoints would it have taken in your neighborhood before someone said something?The live format puts the town's defenders and critics in the same chat. Some will say a family determined to hide can hide anywhere. Others will say seven hundred people don't miss twenty. The conversation doesn't let either side off easy — because the answer determines whether the next sixteen kids get found by a neighbor or by another accident.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

"I would have called." It's in every comment section, every conversation about the Siders case, every kitchen-table reaction to the news out of Hamden. And the research on actual bystander behavior says it's a lie — not a malicious one, but a lie we tell ourselves about who we are. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins live to close the gap between the person you believe you'd be and the person the data says you'd actually be.Scott walks through the real-time experience of the people around this family. The flicker of concern at the Dollar General register. The half-second of wondering about the house with the air conditioners and no visible children. And then the story the mind supplies — they're probably homeschoolers, someone would have reported it, it's not my place — that lets the moment pass. Multiply that by every person who crossed this family's path over eighteen years, and you get sixteen invisible children.The live conversation takes on the hardest version of the premise: families like this exist everywhere, right now, and the psychology that hid the Siders kids is the same psychology operating on every street.

Small towns are supposed to be the safety net. Everybody knows everybody. Nothing stays secret. A new truck in a driveway gets discussed at the diner by noon. That's the mythology — and Hamden, Ohio, population seven hundred, just shattered it. Twenty people lived on Ohmer Street. Sixteen of them were children. And the town's unanimous position is that nobody had any idea.Tony and Robin pull that position apart thread by thread. The store employee who noticed years of warning signs and archived them instead of reporting them. The neighbor whose account requires six years of statistically impossible blindness. The family that was supposedly invisible while employed, shopping, and paying taxes in plain view. The discussion asks whether small-town closeness actually protects children — or whether it does the opposite, because in a town where everybody knows everybody, the person who makes the call can never make it anonymously.The conversation ends where it has to: if seven hundred people can miss twenty, then every town can miss every family — and the comfortable idea that this couldn't happen on your street is exactly the idea that let it happen on theirs.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
Do the math on the neighbor's claim. Twenty people. Thirteen hundred square feet. Six years. Zero children sighted — ever — from three doors away. No sounds, no laundry, no faces in windows, no kids in a yard, nothing. Either that house operated with a discipline that should terrify everyone, or the man's memory is doing him a favor. Tony and Robin stress-test the story, and it doesn't hold.The conversation widens to everything else that doesn't add up in Hamden's account of itself. A store clerk with years of detailed observations who never dialed a number. A family the AG says was hiding from all record-keeping — while paying property taxes, maintaining water service, and running air conditioners visible from the street. Somebody inside that house was competent. The bills prove it. Which means the squalor those children lived in wasn't neglect by incapacity. It was allocation. The adults chose where the resources went, and it wasn't to the sixteen kids in one room.The episode closes on the sharpest version of the question: when an entire town's story requires this many coincidences, at what point does "nobody knew" stop being an explanation and start being a confession?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
Every one of the sixteen Siders children was born at an area hospital. Every one. And over eighteen years of deliveries — including conjoined twins at a Columbus hospital who were born and died the same day — not a single medical professional flagged what was happening inside that family. No school enrolled those children. No social worker knocked on the door. The only reason anyone found them was a misdemeanor warrant served on Gary Siders Jr. for something that had nothing to do with kids.What deputies walked into at 182 Ohmer Street in Hamden, Ohio, was a five-room house with twenty people inside it. Children in a single room covered in waste and insects. An eighteen-year-old who couldn't write her own name. The Attorney General called it "pure evil" and said if they'd waited one more day, children would have died. Four adults now face sixty-eight combined felony counts, with a grand jury expected to add more. The AG's own language — describing the case as "intrafamilial" — signals the investigation may be heading somewhere far darker.This episode follows the trail of every institution that missed these children. Ohio's gutted homeschool laws. A county-by-county welfare system the family moved through without detection. Hospitals that delivered sixteen children over eighteen years without ever asking why there were no medical records. And the story of Elizabeth Siders, who was married at fifteen in West Virginia with a judge's signature while seven months pregnant — raising the question of whether the first person failed by these systems was one of the four people now charged.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In today's Gospel, Jesus speaks words we all need to hear - "Do not be afraid." Not once, but three times because He knows how often we need reminding. Whatever fear you're carrying today about your past, your future, your struggles, or your worth, know that you are deeply known, deeply loved, and never alone. You are more than your mistakes. More than your fears. More than what the world sees. God knows every tear, every silent prayer, every burden you've carried alone. He even knows the number of hairs on your head - that's how deeply you are known. Whatever you're holding onto today, bring it to Him. He is not judging you. He is with you.
Today is June 14, 2026 - the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrant was Fr. Christopher Tiano.In this Sunday's homily, Fr. Tiano reflects on one of the most freeing truths of the Christian faith: our salvation is not something we earn - it's something we receive. Drawing from St. Paul's Letter to the Romans, Fr. Tiano unpacks the difference between active and passive voice to reveal a profound spiritual insight: it is God who reconciles us, saves us, and loves us even when we are helpless, ungodly, sinners, and enemies of God. If you've ever heard that voice in your head telling you that you're not worthy of God's love, this homily is for you.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Dr. Ketam Hamdan joins host Myrna Young to explore the transformative power of mindset and mental health on the "Transform Your Mind" podcast. They discuss the difference between change and true transformation, the role of self-awareness, and how unresolved emotions can shape behaviors unconsciously. Dr. Hamden shares insightful strategies for cultivating presence and self-reflection, underscoring the importance of knowing oneself to facilitate growth. Tune in to discover practical tools that can help shift from survival mode to a more fulfilling and conscious life.Throughout the discussion, Dr. Hamdan provides practical insights into the complex relationship between unresolved emotional issues such as fear, anger, and trauma, and how they manifest silently in individuals' thoughts and actions. They delve into the significance of self-awareness, reflection, and grounding practices as tools for personal growth and transformation. Dr. Hamdan shares her professional experiences, such as the impact of introspective practices on patients' mental states, and emphasizes the importance of acknowledging one's emotions to foster a mindset primed for growth rather than stagnation.Key Takeaways:A core barrier to transformation is seeking external validation for one's feelings rather than owning them internally.True transformation is marked by an inability to revert to old behavioral patterns, contrasting with temporary change.Awareness of and reflection on personal patterns are essential for breaking cycles of self-sabotage and emotional stagnation.Practical tools, such as grounding techniques and introspection, play a crucial role in achieving emotional equilibrium and cognitive transformation.Recognizing and nurturing one's inner "operating system" or belief patterns can lead to lasting personal growth and wellness.Timestamp Summary0:02 The Journey from Change to True Transformation10:06 Awakening to Conscious Awareness and Transformative Human Connections14:39 Overcoming Emotional Barriers Through Self-Awareness and Acceptance21:44 Transforming Weight Loss with GLP1 Medications and Hers24:01 Brain Scans Reveal Hidden Causes of Relationship Challenges31:37 Unresolved Emotions Manifesting in Subtle Relationship Dynamics37:30 Biohacking Techniques for Grounding and Presence43:57 Transforming Your Mind to Transform Your LifeSponsors of this podcastWith Wegovy at Hers, lose up to 20% or more of your body weight when combined with diet and exercise.

Today is May 31, 2026 - the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity. Our celebrant was Monsignor Joseph Donnelly.Who is God? On the Feast of the Holy Trinity, we explore that timeless question through the story of Saint Augustine on the shore and what it means to stand before a sacred mystery too vast for any of us to fully grasp. Drawing on the three readings for today's feast, we trace our experience of God through Scripture: God the Father in the Old Testament, Jesus Christ in the Gospels, and the Holy Spirit alive in our lives today. God hasn't gone anywhere..., and chances are, you already know that.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133. All rights reserved.
How do distant galaxies form? If you have two distant clouds of hydrogen, why does one turn into a star and another doesn't? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome Dr. Erika Hamden, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Arizona. If Erika looks familiar, that might be because her TED Talk or “New Frontiers,” the TV show she hosts on Arizona Public Media. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, Artemis II, our first manned mission around the moon since 1972. Chuck, Allen and Erika share their excitement watching the mission, and especially the landing, while we watch the “only good video of the moon ever taken with a phone” that Reid Wiseman shot on his iPhone. Dr. Hamden tells us about her research into how distant stars and galaxies form. To fill in the blanks of this cosmic puzzle, she observes hydrogen in its elemental or molecular form – not looking at the stars themselves, but the emissions from hydrogen atoms. You'll learn about star formation in our galaxy and how Erika discerns the moment that a new star “first turns on.” Then it's time for our first audience question. Emma B. asks, “How many galaxies are there?” Erika says that in the observable universe, it's an outrageously large number, probably hundreds of billions or more. We take a look at the Hubble Ultra Deep Field image, which reflects a “tiny, tiny part of the sky,” where every dot except for the 3 stars is a galaxy. And that's just the universe we can see. Chuck asks Erika to tell us about her book, “Weird Universe: Everything We Don't Know about Space (and why it's important).” Professor Hamden shares her belief that anyone can understand anything if it's explained the right way to them. She talks about a poem by Rebecca Elson called “Responsibility to Awe” and the responsibility scientists have to share the wonders of the world with everybody. For our next audience question, Ava asks, “What is the craziest job in Astronomy that you have seen AI take over from humans?” Erika talks about using LLMs to review the digitized photographic plates of stars and the massive amount of data from the Vera Rubin Observatory, and also which activities still require human creativity. Speaking of creativity, it turns out that before becoming an astrophysicist, Erika got a diploma at Le Cordon Bleu in London and had a career as a professional chef. She still loves to cook and shares her recipe (below) for the Swedish-style cardamom buns she shows us in the episode. Finally, before we go, we congratulate Emily on recently being awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. She shares some wisdom and advice she's learned on her journey that she also tells her students, but according to her it's a bit “cheesy” so we'll let her tell you in the show. If you'd like to know more about Dr. Hamden, you can keep up with her research, follow her on her social media accounts, and find out about her book by visiting her website. We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon. Erika's Cardamom Bun Recipe You can find the original recipe here on Cecilia Tolone's Substack. Erika's Modifications: “My changes are that I add more milk- about 75 grams more, because American flour is drier and Tucson is especially dry! And I played around with adding chiltipin flakes (a local, very spicy pepper) to the filling to make it kind of spicy. It's great! Finally, I use whole cardamom seeds from Penzey's that I grind before putting in.” Credits for Images Used in this Episode: Artemis II end of mission splashdown. – Credit: NASA/ Bill Ingalls.

https://creativeartsworkshop.org/gallery/current/ Made Visible 2026 — “A Lion Speaks” A Celebration of Black Artists Curated by Shaunda Holloway Presented by Creative Arts Workshop (CAW) Exhibition Dates: February 1–March 12, 2026 Opening Reception: Thursday, February 5, 2026 | 5:30–7:30 pm Location: Hilles Gallery, Creative Arts Workshop 80 Audubon Street, New Haven, CT Admission: Free and open to the public About the Exhibition Creative Arts Workshop presents Made Visible 2026: A Lion Speaks, its annual Black History Month exhibition celebrating the work of Black artists and artists of African descent. Now in its eighth year, Made Visible reflects CAW's ongoing commitment to equity, representation, and amplifying underrepresented voices through the visual arts. Curated by Hamden-based artist, writer, and educator Shaunda Holloway, A Lion Speaks draws inspiration from the African proverb, “Until the lion learns how to write, every story will glorify the hunter.” The exhibition centers self-authored narratives—honoring lived experience, cultural memory, and creative resistance. As Holloway explains, “Telling our stories for ourselves, sharing our resistance in all its facets, and encouraging others to continue preserving our stories in spite of systemic erasure is what A Lion Speaks is about.” The exhibition features work by 25 local and regional artists spanning painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography, mixed media, video, textiles, and fiber arts. Participating Artists A Lion Speaks features the work of 25 local and regional artists whose practices reflect deeply personal and politically resonant narratives. Together, these artists reclaim authorship and visibility, giving voice to stories that have too often been marginalized. Creative Arts Workshop is honored to present work by: Faustin Adeniran, Jean Benoit, Marquis Brantley Sr., Leigh Busby, Shari Caldwell-Young, Siobhan Carter-David, Robert Cooper Jr., Chelsea DeBerry, Ricardo de Paula, Demeree Douglas, Lydia Douglas, Kayla Hall, Iman Uqdah Hameen, David Jackson, Fethi Meghelli, Linda Mickens, Dana Monique, Rory D.L. Moorer, Aisha Nailah, Adeyinka Ogunlowo, Thelma Raney, Brandon Ricketts, Portia Scott-Thiam, Arvia Walker, and Reginald Woolery. We are deeply grateful to these artists for sharing their work, their voices, and their visions with our community. Free Public Workshop As part of the exhibition's public programming, Creative Arts Workshop will host a free, hands-on mixed-media workshop led by nationally recognized fiber artist Ed Johnetta Miller. Saturday, March 14, 2026 Hilles Gallery, Creative Arts Workshop Free and open to the public | All skill levels welcome This community-based workshop invites participants to explore storytelling and creative expression through an improvisational approach. Working with fabric scraps and mixed materials, participants will create a small wall piece while engaging themes of self-authored narratives and cultural memory. No prior experience is required.
Hamden has been dealing with a string of violent incidents in the city this month. We spoke with law enforcement contributor, Gary MacNamara, about one of the incidents involving several suspects spraying gunshots at a home. What does the video of this crime mean for juvenile crime in our state and how should we tackle it better?
