Podcasts about investigators

Today, defense attorney Bob Motta and I take a hard look at one of the most troubling aspects of the Delphi murder investigation: the leads that were dismissed, minimized, or never meaningfully followed. The depositions show something the public has never had a clear window into — investigators explaining why certain suspects weren't pursued, why certain statements didn't matter, why symbolic elements of the crime scene were ignored, and why potentially exculpatory information was either downplayed or outright forgotten. In this conversation, Bob breaks down how two individuals tied to the Odinism angle — individuals whose behavior should have triggered deeper investigation — were inexplicably filed as “no further action.” One made a disturbing comment about whether his DNA would be found on the girls. The other posted imagery eerily similar to the crime scene and owned a .40-caliber handgun that was never seized or tested. These aren't fringe details. These are red flags. Massive ones. Yet the investigative record treats them as footnotes. Bob and I go through why leads like these get dropped, how narrative lock affects decision-making, and what happens when the pressure to find “the right suspect” overshadows the obligation to explore every suspect. We cover the symbolic patterns on the girls' bodies, the missing tree-origin analysis on the sticks, the late disclosure of the Odinism file, and the dissonance between what investigators told the public versus what they swore to in depositions. This isn't speculation. It's not theory. It's the investigators themselves, under oath, explaining why critical evidence was set aside — and whether that decision is now going to haunt the state on appeal. If you want to understand the investigative blind spots in the Delphi case, this is the episode. #Delphi #RichardAllen #TrueCrimeAnalysis #IgnoredEvidence #LegalInsights #DelphiDepositions #CrimeSceneReview #JusticeSystem #HiddenKillers #InvestigativeFailures Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Fredericksburg Texas Police are once again asking for the public's help in solving the brutal 2007 murder of 55-year-old Linda Muegge. Back in May of that year, Muegge was found dead inside her burning home on Franklin Street. Investigators say she had been stabbed multiple times and bludgeoned before the fire and suffered severe burns. Despite efforts from the Texas Rangers and FBI, no arrests were ever made. This year, Muegge's mother passed away at the age of 100 never knowing who killed her daughter. If you have any information, call the Fredericksburg Police Department at (830) 997-7585 or Gillespie County Crime Stoppers at (830) 997-8477. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The heartbreaking search for 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard continues, and tonight there are new developments.

 Investigators say Somalis swindled millions in state Medicaid funds through a bogus network of autism treatment centers and sent the money back to Somalia to fund a terror group. No wonder Minnesota lost 48,000 residents last year. The DNC has to take out a BIG loan. Zohran Mamdani visits the White House today and Trump previews the meeting in an epic Truth post.

Good News reveals a surprise about the intruder who keeps triggering a man's security cams.

The Jared Bridegan case has taken another sharp, chaotic turn — and it all comes down to the one person prosecutors absolutely need: the man who says he pulled the trigger. In today's episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down the stunning courtroom moment when confessed shooter Henry Tenon suddenly claimed his own sworn statement was “false,” only to reverse himself the very next day. This is the kind of twist that doesn't just make headlines — it reshapes the entire courtroom battlefield. Prosecutors say Tenon was the hired gun in what they describe as a carefully planned, staged ambush that ended the life of father of four, Jared Bridegan, in front of his toddler daughter in 2022. Investigators allege the plot was tied to a long-running custody and personal conflict involving Bridegan's ex-wife, Shanna Gardner, and her then-husband, Mario Fernandez-Saldana — both awaiting trial and both maintaining their innocence. Tenon was supposed to be the state's star witness, the insider who could walk a jury through how this plan formed and who was behind it. That's why his sudden claim — that his sworn statement was untrue — sent shockwaves through the courtroom. But within twenty-four hours, Tenon told prosecutors the opposite: his original statement was correct, and he only tried to backtrack out of fear and regret about spending the rest of his life in prison. For the state, it's a crisis they now have to manage. For the defense, it's ammunition. And for Bridegan's family, it's another painful delay in a case that has already dragged on for years. We break down the shifting testimony, the legal fallout, the massive delays in the trial timeline, and the high-stakes credibility battle now at the center of this already-explosive murder-for-hire case. This is where true crime meets human psychology — and where the truth gets tested in front of twelve strangers. If you're following the Bridegan case, this is the update you can't miss. #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #JaredBridegan #ShannaGardner #MarioFernandez #LegalDrama #CourtUpdate #CrimeNews #Podcast #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The true crime world is once again shaken by a disturbing case that raises more questions than answers. The tragic death of Celeste Rivas, who was discovered concealed inside the trunk of a Tesla belonging to David, has ignited a wave of public concern and investigative curiosity. Early reports from KTLA describe the 70-pound woman as dismembered, a detail that intensifies the urgency surrounding this unfolding story. Law enforcement has made it clear that while they acknowledge the concealment of a body, they have not yet brought homicide charges — not because they've ruled it out, but because the forensic picture remains incomplete. In the realm of breaking news and complex investigations, this case mirrors other high-profile mysteries where patience ultimately revealed the truth. Former prosecutor Jennifer Coffindaffer draws a compelling comparison to the Suzanne Morphew case, where investigators built a strong no-body homicide case, only to discover the remains years later. The Morphew investigation demonstrated the slow, meticulous process required for toxicology, forensic anthropology, and bone analysis — all of which could play a crucial role in the Celeste Rivas timeline. As investigators search for answers, toxicology screens are underway, examining everything from illicit substances to possible toxins. Forensic anthropologists will analyze decomposition, insect activity, and skeletal trauma to narrow down the time and manner of death. The public may see silence, but behind the scenes, the scientific process is moving carefully and deliberately. Law enforcement is signaling not weakness, but patience — ensuring that when charges come, they are backed by irrefutable evidence. Meanwhile, this breaking true crime story continues to expand, touching on broader conversations about missing persons, hidden evidence, and how modern forensic science uncovers what the body can no longer speak aloud. As updates emerge, the case of Celeste Rivas stands as a stark reminder of the painstaking work required to bring justice to victims whose final moments remain shrouded in mystery. #truecrime #celesterivas #breakingnews #investigation #missingperson #justice #forensics #crimenews #newsupdate #lawenforcement Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

LAPD now considers rising music star D4vd a suspect in the ongoing murder investigation after Celeste's decomposed body was discovered inside the frunk of his Tesla, sparking outrage and renewed questions about what really happened in the hours and days leading up to her death. Investigators had previously said they found no evidence of criminal behavior — but new developments suggest this case is far from over. As police re-examine timelines, surveillance footage, and the last known movements around the Tesla, pressure is mounting for answers and accountability. In this STS breaking-news report, Emmy Award-Winning Host Joel Waldman dives deep into the latest updates, what this new suspect designation means legally, and why the public is demanding justice for Celeste Rivas Hernandez.Support the show & be a part of #STSNation:Donate to STS' Trial Travel: Https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GJ...VENMO: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcastCheck out STS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorEmail: SurvivingTheSurvivor@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In our latest interview, defense attorney Bob Motta joins me to dissect the one thing the public never truly got to see in the Delphi murders case: the investigators themselves, speaking under oath. And what those depositions reveal isn't a unified, focused, evidence-driven investigative team — it's a fractured, inconsistent, internally conflicted system struggling under the weight of its own decisions. For years, the Delphi narrative has been kept clean and simple on the surface. But beneath that exterior is a record full of contradictions: investigators who cannot agree on whether the FBI was removed from the case… conflicting recollections about the Behavioral Analysis Unit's early assessment… witness statements reshaped in the search-warrant affidavit… third-party suspects dismissed despite disturbing statements and behavior… symbolic evidence at the crime scene left unexplored… and forensic gaps that defy basic homicide protocol. Bob walks us through all of it — the timeline manipulation, the altered witness descriptions, the failure to pursue leads, the missing documentation around the bullet, the sticks left in the woods for days, and the Odinism material that sat in the prosecutor's office for months before being disclosed. These are not minor mistakes. These are systemic failures with massive implications for Richard Allen's appeal. If you're looking for the polished, sanitized version of this case, this isn't it. This is the raw underside — the part the public didn't see, the part juries never heard, and the part that may very well determine whether this conviction withstands appellate scrutiny. When investigators contradict each other, forget key events, minimize crucial evidence, and reshape witness statements to fit a narrative, it's not just bad optics — it's a crisis of investigative integrity. And today, Bob and I break that crisis wide open. #Delphi #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #TrueCrime #Depositions #LegalAnalysis #JusticeSystem #Investigations #CourtFilings #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Today, defense attorney Bob Motta and I take a hard look at one of the most troubling aspects of the Delphi murder investigation: the leads that were dismissed, minimized, or never meaningfully followed. The depositions show something the public has never had a clear window into — investigators explaining why certain suspects weren't pursued, why certain statements didn't matter, why symbolic elements of the crime scene were ignored, and why potentially exculpatory information was either downplayed or outright forgotten. In this conversation, Bob breaks down how two individuals tied to the Odinism angle — individuals whose behavior should have triggered deeper investigation — were inexplicably filed as “no further action.” One made a disturbing comment about whether his DNA would be found on the girls. The other posted imagery eerily similar to the crime scene and owned a .40-caliber handgun that was never seized or tested. These aren't fringe details. These are red flags. Massive ones. Yet the investigative record treats them as footnotes. Bob and I go through why leads like these get dropped, how narrative lock affects decision-making, and what happens when the pressure to find “the right suspect” overshadows the obligation to explore every suspect. We cover the symbolic patterns on the girls' bodies, the missing tree-origin analysis on the sticks, the late disclosure of the Odinism file, and the dissonance between what investigators told the public versus what they swore to in depositions. This isn't speculation. It's not theory. It's the investigators themselves, under oath, explaining why critical evidence was set aside — and whether that decision is now going to haunt the state on appeal. If you want to understand the investigative blind spots in the Delphi case, this is the episode. #Delphi #RichardAllen #TrueCrimeAnalysis #IgnoredEvidence #LegalInsights #DelphiDepositions #CrimeSceneReview #JusticeSystem #HiddenKillers #InvestigativeFailures Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, I sit down with defense attorney and trial analyst Bob Motta to examine the most explosive development yet in the Delphi case: the collapse of the timeline investigators built around the murders of Abby and Libby. For years, the timeline was treated as settled. But when you read the depositions, the cracks spread fast. Bob and I break down how witness statements were reshaped, how the search-warrant affidavit reframed crucial descriptions, and how timelines were tightened or loosened depending on who was writing the report. This isn't conjecture — it's sworn testimony. Bob walks us through the most glaring issues: a witness who described a young man and an older car, yet was portrayed to the judge as having seen something “consistent” with Richard Allen; investigators who can't agree on when the FBI was involved; conflicting testimony about the time of death; missing documentation around the bullet that ties Allen's gun to the case; symbolic elements at the crime scene ignored or downplayed; and third-party suspects whose movements and statements were never thoroughly pursued. This interview digs into why these inconsistencies matter — not emotionally, but legally. How does a conviction stand when the foundation beneath it shifts every time you compare one deposition to another? How does an affidavit remain valid when key information was omitted or altered? And how does the public reconcile the clean version of the case with the messy, disjointed reality revealed behind closed doors? This isn't about guilt or innocence — it's about whether the system followed its own rules. And according to the depositions, the timeline wasn't built on solid ground. It was built on selective memory, contradictory claims, and investigative shortcuts that now threaten the entire structure of the case. #DelphiCase #TrueCrimeNews #LegalBreakdown #RichardAllenCase #Depositions #CourtRecords #CrimeInvestigation #TimelineAnalysis #HiddenKillers #JusticeReview Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In today's episode, former FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, Robin Dreeke, joins me for a breakdown unlike anything you've heard about the Delphi case. Forget the sanitized, press-conference version of this investigation. Robin and I go deep into the human psychology behind the breakdown — the way investigators acted, reacted, remembered, forgot, contradicted each other, shut out certain leads, and emotionally locked onto others. The depositions don't just reveal evidence issues. They reveal behavioral issues. And Robin reads those better than anyone. Why did two lead investigators swear under oath to completely opposite stories about the FBI's involvement? How does a team forget or “not recall” something as significant as an early BAU ritual-indicator assessment? Why would symbolic elements at the crime scene be brushed aside? Why would red-flag behavior from potential suspects be minimized? Why were sticks left for days, evidence untested, witness statements reframed, and major investigative steps glossed over? Robin walks us through the behavioral patterns that show up when an investigative system is overwhelmed — from narrative lock, to tunnel vision, to fear-based decision making, to the emotional need to force coherence onto an incoherent case. We discuss cognitive contamination, leadership collapse, internal factioning, memory distortion, and the psychological pressure that quietly reshapes how investigators interpret facts. This episode isn't about guilt or innocence. It's about how the people behind the Delphi investigation functioned — and dysfunctioned. And why that matters. If you want to understand why this investigation feels so fractured, and what the depositions really reveal about the team that built the case, Robin's analysis is absolutely essential. #Delphi #DelphiMurders #BehavioralAnalysis #RobinDreeke #TrueCrime #InvestigationBreakdown #Psychology #JusticeSystem #HiddenKillers #RichardAllen Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Manhattan on August 10, 2019, standard jail protocols—from cell-mate monitoring to regular inmate checks—were wildly breached. The cellmate had just been transferred out the previous evening, leaving Epstein alone in violation of suicide-watch policy. Investigators later found his cell in disarray: mattresses piled, linens strewn, items moved and photographs inconsistently recorded. The delay in the arrival of investigators, and removal of the body before full forensics, added to concerns that the scene was mishandled.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The FBI spent months trying to locate Ghislaine Maxwell after she disappeared from public view following Jeffrey Epstein's death. Investigators obtained warrants to access data from a cellphone registered to an alias she used, which allowed them to monitor who she was communicating with and identify approximate regions where the phone had connected to cell towers. Through historical cell-site records, GPS metadata, and call-pattern tracking, agents were eventually able to narrow her location to a remote area of New Hampshire, where the phone routinely appeared within the same coverage radius, suggesting she was living in seclusion and limiting digital footprints to avoid detection.Once the FBI had reduced the search field to a one-square-mile area, they sought court authorization to use a more aggressive device — a cell-site simulator, often referred to as a Stingray — which imitates a cellular tower and forces phones nearby to reveal their exact position. After deploying the device, agents pinpointed the precise property Maxwell was using as a hideout. On July 2, 2020, armed with that precision location data, federal agents moved in, encountered Maxwell attempting to evade them inside the house, and placed her under arrest, ending the lengthy federal manhunt.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Daniel Brophy was a beloved chef and culinary instructor at the Oregon Culinary Institute in Portland. At 63 years old, he was passionate about teaching and loved by his students. On June 2, 2018, Daniel was found shot to death inside his classroom—murdered in the place he loved most.   The investigation led police to an unlikely suspect: his wife, Nancy Crampton Brophy, a romance novelist.   Years before Daniel's murder, Nancy had written an essay titled "How to Murder Your Husband." In it, she detailed various methods of killing a spouse and getting away with it. Investigators discovered Nancy had purchased gun parts online, taken out life insurance policies on Daniel, and her car was captured on surveillance footage near the culinary school the morning of the murder.   In May 2022, Nancy Crampton Brophy was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.   This case is a chilling reminder that sometimes, truth is stranger—and darker—than fiction.   Thank you to this week's sponsors!   Save 25% on your first month of subscription by going to dosedaily.co/MOMS or entering MOMS at checkout.  Start your risk-free Greenlight trial today at Greenlight.com/moms.   New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!   Follow us on Instagram: @momsandmysteries   Join our Patreon: patreon.com/momsandmysteries   Visit our website: momsandmysteries.com   #TrueCrime #Podcast #FloridaMoms #DanielBrophy #NancyBrophy #HowToMurderYourHusband #Portland #Oregon #TruthStrangerThanFiction #RomanceNovelist #ChefMurder

Episode 200: The Murder of Terry DolowyIn 1985, Terry Dolowy was only 24 years old when her decapitated remains were found set ablaze. Investigators combed over the scene and the very little evidence available to them, but her case quickly grew cold. DNA technology was minimal at best, and much of the evidence in her case had to wait decades before proper testing was available. It wasn't until 2023 that investigators had a promising DNA match, and in 2024 that man was arrested and charged in her murder. Her case is currently unsolved, though many are hopeful that justice will be served with a conviction.

This week on Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle discuss psychic detectives...In 1983, 25-year-old Jacqueline Poole from west London was murdered in her home. Just streets away, a woman called Christine Holohan contacted police shortly after the crime, claiming to have received psychic visions about the killer, the victim and the scene.

In August 1970, 26-year-old schoolteacher Linda Jane Phillips, daughter of Kaufman County School Superintendent Jimmy Phillips, vanished while driving home from a Dallas wedding party. Two days later, her mutilated body was discovered in a hedgerow near Post Oak, Texas.The case shocked Kaufman County—a quiet, rural community east of booming Dallas—and became one of North Texas's most haunting unsolved murders. Investigators found her car abandoned along Farm Road 1641, its window shattered, her clothing scattered along the roadside for nearly a mile. Despite hundreds of volunteers searching and an intensive investigation led by Sheriff Roy Brockway, no suspect was found.Over the following decade, a wave of similarly brutal killings of women swept across North and East Texas. Lawmen speculated about a single “lust killer” operating around Dallas, connecting Linda's death to others in Garland, Irving, Plano, and Grapevine. Yet no pattern held.Then, in 1984, serial confessor Henry Lee Lucas—already infamous for hundreds of claimed murders—pleaded guilty to Linda's killing. Kaufman County briefly marked the case “cleared.” But Lucas's confession later fell apart. Records showed he was still in Michigan at the time of her death.Fifty-five years later, Linda's murder remains officially unsolved. What endures is the picture of a kind, capable young woman caught between the growing city and the fading quiet of small-town Texas—and a reminder of how easily a search for closure can bury the truth.If you have information about the murder of Linda Jane Phillips, please contact the Kaufman County Sheriff's Office at (972) 932-4337.Sources: The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Tyler Morning Telegraph, The San Antonio Express-News, The Odessa American, The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, The Longview Daily News, The McKinney Courier-Gazette, The Austin American-Statesman, The Brownsville Herald, The Mesquite Daily News, and Henry Lee Lucas filesYou can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

Silicon Bites Ep270 | News Update - Day 1,363 - 2025-11-17 | A railway track in eastern Poland, that you've probably never heard of, has been the target of apparent Russia hybrid terror operations. This track would have remained a matter of limited awareness to the world at large, but somebody blew it up. Over the weekend, an explosion ripped through the Warsaw–Lublin line near the village of Mika — a line that doesn't just carry commuters and freight, but weapons and aid headed to Ukraine's front. Poland's prime minister is calling it “an unprecedented act of sabotage”. Investigators say it's almost certainly the work of “foreign state services”. And if you're thinking Russia, you are likely not alone.This isn't a one-off. It follows Russian drone incursions into Polish airspace, arson attacks, cyber-operations, and a steadily escalating hybrid war aimed at the logistics lifeline that keeps Ukraine fighting and Europe secure. Today's episode is about that shadow war – and what it means when the supply routes to Ukraine get blown apart, even though it's not Ukrainian territory and infrastructure, and how Russia is launching an unprecedented informational campaign to muddy the waters and try to turn Poles against supporting Ukraine.----------SOURCES: The Guardian – “Poland railway blast was unprecedented act of sabotage, says Donald Tusk” (17 Nov 2025)Reuters – “Poland faced one confirmed, one highly probable railway sabotage act” (17 Nov 2025)AP News – “Polish prime minister says rail line explosion was ‘sabotage'” (17 Nov 2025)The Washington Post – “Rail explosion in Poland was ‘sabotage,' prime minister says” (17 Nov 2025)Kyiv Independent – “‘Act of sabotage' — Explosion hits Polish railway track used for Ukraine aid shipments, Warsaw says” (17 Nov 2025)The Guardian (live blog) – “Foreign state services behind Polish rail sabotage, says minister – Europe live” (17 Nov 2025)Sky News – “Railway bombing an ‘unprecedented act of sabotage', Poland's PM says” (17 Nov 2025)The Guardian – “Russia accused of trying to hack border security cameras to disrupt Ukraine aid” (21 May 2025)The Washington Post – “Russia recruited operatives online to target weapons crossing Poland” (18 Aug 2023)AP / Reuters / local outlets – coverage of Marywilska 44 arson and attribution to Russian intelligence (May 2025)Al Jazeera, Euronews, Notes from Poland and others on recent arrests and sabotage plots in Poland (Oct 2025)NATO, UN, and media reporting on Russian drone incursions into Polish airspace (Sept 2025)Meduza and Euronews on earlier Russian missile and drone violations of Polish and Baltic airspace.----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

The FBI spent months trying to locate Ghislaine Maxwell after she disappeared from public view following Jeffrey Epstein's death. Investigators obtained warrants to access data from a cellphone registered to an alias she used, which allowed them to monitor who she was communicating with and identify approximate regions where the phone had connected to cell towers. Through historical cell-site records, GPS metadata, and call-pattern tracking, agents were eventually able to narrow her location to a remote area of New Hampshire, where the phone routinely appeared within the same coverage radius, suggesting she was living in seclusion and limiting digital footprints to avoid detection.Once the FBI had reduced the search field to a one-square-mile area, they sought court authorization to use a more aggressive device — a cell-site simulator, often referred to as a Stingray — which imitates a cellular tower and forces phones nearby to reveal their exact position. After deploying the device, agents pinpointed the precise property Maxwell was using as a hideout. On July 2, 2020, armed with that precision location data, federal agents moved in, encountered Maxwell attempting to evade them inside the house, and placed her under arrest, ending the lengthy federal manhunt.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Two headlines. Two tragedies. And one justice system collapsing under its own contradictions. In California and Oklahoma — two stories this week reveal the same ugly truth: justice is selective. One mother sits in jail while her missing daughter remains unaccounted for. Another man, accused of horrific violence, walks free. First: The Melodee Buzzard case. Nine-year-old Melodee vanished in early October. Her mother, Ashlee Buzzard, was arrested November 7 on a false-imprisonment charge, bail set at $100,000. Investigators insist the arrest isn't directly tied to the disappearance — but behind that phrasing lies a strategic move. Authorities allege rented vehicles, wigs, and license-plate swaps, with Melodee last seen near the Utah-Colorado border on October 9. Ashlee returned to California alone. The public's question: if she's not charged for the disappearance, what's she really being held for? Then: Jesse Butler. In Payne County, Oklahoma, an 18-year-old accused of rape, strangulation, and sexual assault was handed what amounts to freedom — no prison, only community service and counseling. A plea deal so soft it's reigniting national outrage over judicial accountability. The victims nearly died; Butler walks out under the guise of “rehabilitation.” Together, these cases frame a system that punishes at random — one that acts swiftly against optics, but gently toward those it quietly favors. When a violent offender is treated with mercy and a missing-child case stalls behind legal semantics, we're left with a single, bitter question: who is the justice system actually protecting? Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole to pull back the curtain on both investigations — the legal strategy, the investigative psychology, and the moral failure playing out in real time. Two stories. Two families. One nation still pretending this is justice. #MelodeeBuzzard #JesseButler #AshleeBuzzard #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrimeToday #JusticeSystem #FalseImprisonment #OklahomaJustice #MissingChild  Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
