Host Paul Pacelli wrapped up another busy week on "Connecticut Today" wondering about Hamden state Rep. Josh Elliott's promise to arrest ICE officers and set up a legal defense fund for immigrants facing deportation, if he's elected Governor (00:31). We also welcomed ABC News correspondent Chris Boccia (13:56), Southington GOP state Sen. Rob Sampson (17:23), and former Bridgeport Democratic state Rep. Chris Caruso (24:48) to the show as well
Today is August 9, 2026 - the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrants were Fr. Gustavo Lopez and Deacon Joe Ryzweski.In this homily excerpt, the speaker reflects on how God reveals His presence in our lives - not always in dramatic ways, but often in a gentle whisper, amidst life's storms, and through a saving hand. Drawing from the story of Elijah, the writings of Paul, and the Gospel account of Jesus walking on water, this message encourages us to meet fear with faith and trust in Christ's constant presence.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

A search warrant in Enfield led to a disturbing discovery — police say they found firearms, narcotics, and more than 50 animals inside a home, including an illegally possessed capuchin monkey. Days later, authorities say a Hamden warehouse was home to dozens of illegal reptiles, including 46 venomous snakes. How common and how dangerous are animal hoarding situations? We asked Annie Hornish, Connecticut State Director of Humane World for Animals.
Start with the paperwork instead of the crime scenes. In 2008 an Ohio judge approved a marriage for a girl who was fifteen and seven months pregnant. In 2024 California deputies documented that they had told David Burke how old Celeste Rivas Hernandez really was. Two records, two dead ends.One full conversation covering both the d4vd case in Los Angeles and the Siders 16 kids case in Vinton County, Ohio.The evidence segment walks through what a preliminary hearing has put in front of a judge. An LAPD criminalist testified that presumptive testing produced strong reactions on the rubber mats covering a Hollywood Hills garage floor and on the bricks under them. There were positives on a rowing machine, a green tarp, a charging cord and a trash bag containing wipes. A blue inflatable pool with nothing visible on it glowed in one area, and a second criminalist matched plastic fragments from the autopsy into the cuts in that pool. Blair Berk's entire cross has been about what nobody tested.The second segment goes back to who David Burke was. Homeschooled after seventh grade, raised on gospel music until thirteen, signed to a major label at seventeen, and the author of an alter ego named Itami who commits murders in his own videos.The third brings in retired FBI special agent Robin Dreeke for Ohio. Sixteen children removed from a home in Hamden. A room measuring roughly twelve feet by twelve, according to the sheriff. An attorney general who said waiting longer would very likely have meant a death or multiple deaths. Four adults charged with sixteen counts of endangering children each, all pleading not guilty.Two files, two states, and the same missing piece in both of them.Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing through his attorneys. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The connection between these two cases is not the crime. It is the signature. Ohio put a marriage license in front of a judge for a fifteen-year-old who was seven months pregnant, and it was approved. California deputies documented telling David Burke how old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was, and filed it.Everything in one place: the d4vd evidence conversation, the David Burke origin conversation, and the Siders 16 kids conversation with retired FBI special agent Robin Dreeke.Start in a Los Angeles courtroom, where an LAPD criminalist described spraying a Hollywood Hills garage and watching the floor mats react, then the bricks underneath. Then a rowing machine, a green tarp, a charging cord, and a trash bag holding wipes and a scrap of fabric. A blue inflatable pool that looked untouched still produced a glow, and a second criminalist fitted plastic fragments from the autopsy into the cuts in it. Blair Berk went at everything nobody swabbed, nobody collected, nobody compared. Tony and Robin make the defense answer for every item.Then the harder question. Who was David Burke before any of it? Homeschooled after seventh grade. A social life built on screens. A record deal at seventeen. An alter ego named Itami, described in his own words as an agent of chaos, who commits murders in his videos.Then Ohio. Sixteen children, eighteen months to eighteen years, removed from a house in Hamden after a warrant tied to an unrelated matter. A room the sheriff said measured roughly twelve by twelve. An attorney general who said waiting longer would very likely have meant a death or multiple deaths. Four adults charged with sixteen counts of endangering children apiece. All four pleaded not guilty.Different states, different worlds, one identical failure sitting in the middle of both files.Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Both of these files existed on paper long before anybody called them cases. A marriage record out of 2008. A deputy's report out of 2024. Different states, different decades, and in both of them an official name went on the line and nothing happened next.The full live discussion — d4vd evidence, David Burke's backstory, and the Siders 16 kids case with retired FBI special agent Robin Dreeke.In Los Angeles, days of preliminary hearing testimony have built a picture of a rented Hollywood Hills garage. Presumptive reactions on the floor mats and the bricks beneath them, on a rowing machine, on a tarp, on a trash bag with wipes inside it. An inflatable pool that looked clean and smelled like laundry, glowing in one place. Plastic fragments recovered during the autopsy fitted into the cuts in that pool like puzzle pieces. Defense attorney Blair Berk hammering everything investigators never swabbed or collected.Tony and Robin do not recap it. They argue it, item by item, from the defense side of the table.Then they go back to the beginning of David Burke — homeschooled, isolated, online, signed at seventeen, and the creator of an alter ego named Itami who commits murders in his own music videos.Then Robin Dreeke comes in for Ohio. Sixteen children out of one house in Hamden. A room roughly twelve feet by twelve. An attorney general saying that waiting longer very likely meant a death or multiple deaths. Four adults, sixteen counts each, four not guilty pleas, and a defense attorney arguing this is poverty and isolation rather than evil.Two cases. One question underneath both of them.Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen.

A search warrant tied to an unrelated matter brought deputies to a house on Ohmer Street in Hamden, Ohio. They came out with sixteen children, ages eighteen months to eighteen years, and arrested four adults: the grandfather, the grandmother, the father and the mother. Each was charged with sixteen counts of endangering children, and all four have pleaded not guilty.The next day, Ohio's attorney general put a timeline on it in public. Based on what he had seen, he said, waiting a specific amount of time longer carried a very high probability of a death or multiple deaths of those children.Retired FBI special agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony to work through what kind of thinking produces a house like that. Dreeke ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, and his entire career has been about understanding motivation rather than reciting it.The sheriff said the children were kept for most of four years in a room about twelve feet by twelve feet, and that most of the livestock in his county was kept in better conditions. The attorney general called the conditions almost indescribable.The defense frame is completely different. Elizabeth Siders' attorney says this is poverty and isolation rather than evil, and that evil requires malice. He also says his client is the mother of all sixteen children. She was fifteen in 2008 when a judge signed off on her marriage to an eighteen-year-old.Court records show more than one teenage marriage in this family across two generations. The school district has no record that any of the sixteen were ever enrolled. Investigators say the family avoided building medical and government records for nearly two decades.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Ohio's attorney general did not hedge. Sixteen children were taken out of a home on Ohmer Street in Hamden, and Andy Wilson did not soften what came next. Based on what he had seen, he said, waiting a certain amount of time longer carried a very high probability of a death, or multiple deaths, inside that house.That statement is the spine of this conversation. Tony is joined by Robin Dreeke, the retired FBI special agent who ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program and has spent a career answering the question of why people do what they do.The facts are not in much dispute. Sixteen children, from eighteen months to eighteen years. A room the sheriff described as roughly twelve by twelve, where he said they had been kept for most of four years. A sheriff's line about livestock in his county being kept better. An attorney general calling it pure evil.Four adults charged with sixteen counts each of endangering children. Four not guilty pleas.What is in dispute is what it means. Elizabeth Siders' attorney argues this is poverty and isolation rather than evil, and that evil requires malice. Poverty, though, does not teach a family to move across counties and leave no school records and no medical records behind for the better part of two decades.Hamden is a town of about seven hundred people. Relatives say they visited and noticed nothing. The school district has no record that any of the sixteen children were ever enrolled.Dreeke and Tony take all of it apart, including the hardest question in the case: whether a person can be shaped into something and still answer for it.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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

Joseph Duggar's arrest in Bay County, Florida isn't just a new headline for the Duggar family, it's a hinge point that connects a 2015 television confession, a 2003 cover-up, and a completely separate child endangerment case eight hundred miles away in Ohio. Tony Brueski starts with the tape: Joseph Duggar, on camera in December of 2015, describing his brother Josh's secret life and calling it heartbreaking. Then the 2026 affidavit alleging Joseph Duggar asked a nine-year-old girl to sit on his lap on a family trip to Panama City Beach. He's pleaded not guilty and posted a six hundred thousand dollar bond. In between sits 2003, when Jim Bob Duggar took his oldest son to a family friend with a badge instead of the police, a decision that kept the case out of court, made under a family doctrine that treated going outside the chain of command as the real danger. It also matters, a great deal, who that man with the badge turned out to be. This episode also lays the Duggar family's newest legal trouble next to the Siders family of Hamden, Ohio, where sixteen children were removed from a home in June of 2026 and four adults now face sixteen counts each of endangering children. Joseph and Kendra Duggar face a nearly identical set of charges out of Arkansas involving their own four kids. Different last names, same blueprint: children kept off the books, out of classrooms, and away from anyone who might have asked questions. The difference shows up the moment the cameras leave. One family posted bond and went home. The other's patriarch got out of jail because his county couldn't afford to keep him. True Crime Today breaks down what's public, what's alleged, and what still doesn't add up.

Joseph Duggar told a national television audience in 2015 that his brother Josh preached one thing and did another, and now a Bay County, Florida arrest affidavit is forcing a question nobody wants to sit with: did Joseph Duggar's own TV appearance predict the charges he's facing today? Tony Brueski breaks down the timeline live: the December 2015 interview where Joseph described Josh's double life on camera, the 2003 decision by Jim Bob Duggar to route his son's confession through a family friend with a badge rather than police, and the identity of that man, which makes the entire cover-up worse than most people realize. Then the 2026 Florida affidavit, the nine-year-old girl, the not-guilty plea, and the six hundred thousand dollar bond that got Joseph Duggar home in time for dinner. The case was continued in mid-July, with Joseph Duggar's next court date set for September. But this episode doesn't stop at one family. Four members of the Siders family in Hamden, Ohio are facing sixteen counts each of child endangerment after sixteen children were removed from their home in June of 2026, kids kept off school rolls, off medical records, raised entirely inside the house. The oldest is eighteen and, according to reports, cannot spell her own name. Joseph and Kendra Duggar are facing a strikingly similar set of charges out of Arkansas over their own four kids, also removed by the state. Two families, two states, the same quiet method for keeping children invisible to anyone who might have helped them. What splits them apart isn't the allegations. It's the bank account. Tony Brueski puts the cases side by side, live, and lets the audience decide who they believe deserves the benefit of the doubt, because right now, the system already has.

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.

The Vinton County Prosecutor, William Archer, has provided an update on the 16 children who were removed from a home in Hamden, Ohio, that could foreshadow the depth and scope of the criminal case. Archer told county commissioners the county is asking for permanent custody of the children. The news comes as more information about the Siders' past homes in Gallia County, and the condition they were left in, has come to light.

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?

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

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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?

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?

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?

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?

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. Scott's challenge to the audience is direct — what did you explain away this week?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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?

The Siders case out of Hamden, Ohio is a horrific alleged child-neglect case involving 16 children who were removed from a rural Vinton County home after authorities found them living in what officials called “deplorable” and “horrific” conditions. Authorities say the children ranged in age from about 18 months to 18 years old.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pretty-lies-and-alibis--4447192/support.ALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!

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.
