This week in True Crime Today's Week in Review, the Laken Snelling case receives the legal and evidentiary examination it requires. University of Kentucky cheerleader Laken Snelling has been indicted on first-degree manslaughter following the death of her newborn son, who was found by her roommates on August 27, 2025 — wrapped in a towel inside a black trash bag in her closet. The Kentucky Medical Examiner confirmed the infant was born alive. Cause of death: asphyxia by undetermined means. Snelling is currently held at the Fayette County Detention Center facing up to 31 years.Tony Brueski lays out the evidentiary record in full: the deleted labor photos, the private week-by-week pregnancy tracking, and months of documented concealment that ran parallel to a public life including the April 2025 national cheerleading championship and social media posts about wanting to be a mother. The 4 a.m. timeline. The roommates' account. The word "guessed." The whimper she admitted hearing. The trash bag. All of it on the record before the legal analysis begins.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer assesses the prosecution's position with precision — whether the physical and digital evidence is sufficient to sustain a first-degree manslaughter charge through trial, what "guessed" is going to require the state to prove, and how the roommates' acceptance of the "I fainted" explanation factors into the evidentiary picture at trial. Behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke examines the phone record as documentation of intent — distinguishing active months-long parallel concealment from reactive denial and explaining why that distinction sits at the center of a conscious disregard argument.The broader legal question this case raises is one Coffindaffer and Dreeke address directly: what does prosecution look like when the defendant is 22, has no prior record, and doesn't match jury expectations — and the only witness who mattered had no voice? Laken Snelling has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This week in Hidden Killers' Week in Review, the Laken Snelling case gets the examination it demands. The University of Kentucky cheerleader has been indicted on first-degree manslaughter after her newborn son was found dead — wrapped in a towel inside a black trash bag in her closet — hours after she gave birth alone at 4 a.m. on August 27, 2025. The Kentucky Medical Examiner confirmed the baby was born alive. Cause of death: asphyxia by undetermined means.What separates this case from most neonaticide prosecutions is what investigators found on her phone: deleted labor photos, week-by-week pregnancy tracking, and months of documented concealment running alongside a public life that included competing at the April 2025 national cheerleading championship and posting a TikTok listing "be a mom" as a life goal. Tony Brueski walks through the full record — the roommates kept in the dark, the 4 a.m. group chat, the whimper she admitted she heard, and the former White Pine, Tennessee classmates whose accounts form a consistent portrait of who she was before any of this.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke then break down where this case is strong and where it's exposed. Coffindaffer examines whether the evidence sustains a first-degree manslaughter charge through trial, what the single word "guessed" is going to mean for the prosecution, and how the roommates' acceptance of "I fainted" factors into the evidentiary picture. Dreeke treats the phone record as a behavioral document — months of active parallel concealment versus simple denial — and what that distinction means for a case built on conscious disregard. Laken Snelling has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This week in Hidden Killers' Week in Review, the expert analysis on the Laken Snelling case goes where standard coverage won't. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke join Tony Brueski to break down a case that sits at the intersection of behavior, law, and accountability in ways most prosecutions don't.The foundation: University of Kentucky cheerleader Laken Snelling gave birth alone at 4 a.m. on August 27, 2025. Her newborn son was found dead hours later by her roommates — wrapped in a towel, inside a trash bag, in her closet. Born alive. Cause of death: asphyxia by undetermined means. A grand jury indicted her on first-degree manslaughter. She's facing up to 31 years.What makes this case analytically significant is the phone record. Deleted labor photos. Week-by-week pregnancy tracking maintained in private. Months of active concealment running alongside a public life that included nationals competition and a TikTok listing "be a mom" as a life goal. Dreeke treats that record as a behavioral document — examining what sustained parallel concealment reveals about intent, how it differs categorically from denial, and why the distinction matters in a prosecution built on conscious disregard. Coffindaffer works the legal side: whether this evidence holds a first-degree manslaughter charge through trial, what the word "guessed" is going to do in court, and how prosecutors need to handle the roommates' 4 a.m. acceptance of "I fainted" before the defense gets to it first.Then there's the jury question neither of them sidesteps. She's 22. No record. A competitive athlete. Juries carry assumptions about who commits these crimes. The only victim in that room had no voice. What does accountability actually look like in a case like this? Laken Snelling has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Laken Snelling case is built on a specific legal threshold — first-degree manslaughter, conscious disregard — and the question of whether the evidence as it currently exists can sustain that charge through trial. That is the central legal question this episode addresses.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins True Crime Today alongside Robin Dreeke for a precise legal and procedural analysis of the Snelling case — the indictment, the evidence record, and the prosecution's path forward.The grand jury heard all four levels of criminal homicide. They landed on manslaughter. That choice — conscious disregard over negligence — is a meaningful legal finding, and Coffindaffer examines what the prosecution had to show the grand jury to get there, and what they will need to demonstrate at trial to hold it. She works through each major piece of evidence: the phone documentation, the deleted labor photos, the pregnancy tracking, the months of documented concealment, and how each element translates into legal weight under the conscious disregard standard.The single word "guessed" — used by Snelling when hospital staff asked whether her son was alive — is analyzed in specific legal terms. Coffindaffer addresses how hedged language of that nature is used when the medical examiner has already placed "born alive" in the record, and what it means for the prosecution's intent narrative.The roommate element is examined procedurally: whether their 4 a.m. acceptance of "I fainted" and return to bed constitutes something investigators had to formally account for, and whether it surfaces at trial.Dreeke adds the behavioral framework that the prosecution will need to explain to a jury — particularly around why the documented concealment pattern reflects calculated awareness rather than psychological crisis, and why that distinction matters under the law.Up to 31 years. The charge is serious. The evidence is substantial. The legal path is specific. This is the breakdown that case deserves.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Laken Snelling's phone told a story that months of public behavior was built to contradict. Deleted labor photos. Week-by-week pregnancy tracking. A documented record of concealment running alongside nationals competitions, a relationship, and a TikTok listing "be a mom" as a life goal. A grand jury saw all four levels of criminal homicide and landed on first-degree manslaughter — conscious disregard. Now the question is whether that charge holds.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers alongside Robin Dreeke to examine the Laken Snelling case from the inside — the evidence, the charge, the gaps, and where the prosecution and defense are each most exposed.Coffindaffer works through the evidentiary record with precision. The phone documentation and what it legally establishes. The word "guessed" — the language Snelling used with hospital staff when asked whether her son was alive — and how prosecutors use hedged language in a case where the medical examiner has already established the child was born alive. The roommates who heard noise for an hour at 4 in the morning, accepted a fainting explanation, and went back to bed — and whether that peripheral behavior ever becomes something the prosecution has to actively account for at trial.Dreeke addresses the behavioral layer: what the sustained parallel concealment documented on that phone reveals, how it differs from denial or dissociation, and where it sits on the behavioral spectrum of neonaticide cases. He also addresses the jury challenge — what it means to ask twelve people to hold a 22-year-old competitive athlete with no criminal record to a standard of conscious disregard when she doesn't match the assumptions most jurors carry into a case like this.The charge is first-degree manslaughter. Up to 31 years. The evidence is compelling in places and complicated in others. This is where it gets examined honestly.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Laken Snelling didn't deny the pregnancy. She managed it. Tracked it week by week on her phone. Deleted the labor photos. Competed at nationals. Took what looked like maternity photos with her boyfriend. Posted a TikTok listing "be a mom" as a life goal. And gave birth alone at 4 in the morning without telling a single person.That is not denial. And Robin Dreeke — former Chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — is precisely positioned to explain what it is.Dreeke joins Hidden Killers Live alongside retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer to apply a rigorous behavioral analysis to the Laken Snelling case — a case where the most important evidence isn't what happened at 4 in the morning, but what the months leading up to it reveal about the behavioral architecture of the person who made those choices.Dreeke walks through the behavioral distinction between denial, dissociation, and active parallel construction — and where the documented record in this case places Snelling on that spectrum. He examines what the TikTok evidence means in a behavioral context, how sustained concealment of this kind is maintained psychologically, and what the phone record as a whole communicates about awareness and intent.He also addresses the jury challenge — the specific behavioral and perceptual problem that emerges when a 22-year-old competitive athlete with no record sits at that defense table. Juries build internal models of what a defendant in a case like this is supposed to look like. When the person doesn't match, Dreeke explains what that mismatch costs the prosecution — and how it's addressed.Coffindaffer grounds the analysis in the procedural record: the charge, the evidence threshold, and what the grand jury's specific finding of conscious disregard means as this case moves toward trial.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Former University of Kentucky cheerleader Laken Snelling has been indicted on first-degree manslaughter in the death of her newborn son, whose body was discovered by her roommates on August 27, 2025, wrapped in a towel inside a black trash bag in the closet of her off-campus Lexington apartment. The Kentucky Medical Examiner confirmed the infant was born alive. Cause of death: asphyxia by undetermined means. On March 12, 2026, Snelling was booked into the Fayette County Detention Center. She faces up to 31 years.Tony Brueski of Hidden Killers breaks down the case from the beginning — and the beginning matters. This is not a story that starts at 4 a.m. on August 27th. It starts months earlier, with a full-term pregnancy Snelling concealed from everyone around her while privately tracking it week by week on her phone. It includes a national cheerleading championship performance in April 2025, couples photo shoots in June that observers described as maternity photos, and a final TikTok post listing "be a mom" as a life goal — all while the evidence shows she had no intention of anyone finding out.When investigators executed search warrants on her phone and social media accounts, they found deleted labor photos, pregnancy searches, and documented evidence of a months-long concealment. Her own words to investigators placed her conscious and aware when her son moved and made a sound. The grand jury heard all four levels of criminal homicide. They landed on manslaughter.Hidden Killers covers the full timeline, the phone evidence, the affidavit details, and what the people who knew Snelling long before this say about who she really is.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Laken Snelling, 22, the former University of Kentucky STUNT team cheerleader from White Pine, Tennessee, was indicted by a Fayette County grand jury on March 10, 2026, on charges of first-degree manslaughter, abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence, and concealing the birth of an infant. She was booked into the Fayette County Detention Center on March 12th. Her arraignment is set for April 10, 2026. If convicted on all counts, she faces a maximum of 31 years.The Kentucky Medical Examiner's Office determined that Infant Snelling was born alive on August 27, 2025. His cause of death was ruled asphyxia by undetermined means. Snelling's own statements to investigators — documented in the arrest affidavit — place her conscious in the room with the infant, aware he had moved and made a sound, before she wrapped him in a towel, later placed him in a black trash bag, and left the apartment.In this episode, Tony Brueski examines the full scope of what investigators found: months of concealed pregnancy, deleted labor photos, private week-by-week pregnancy tracking on her phone, a national championship performance four months before the birth, and a pattern of behavior documented by multiple former classmates going back years. From the 4 a.m. group chat to the grand jury's decision to charge manslaughter, this is the complete picture — built entirely from court documents, affidavits, and official statements.This is not a story about a moment of panic. The evidence doesn't support that. This is a story about someone who had a plan, executed it, and ran out of road.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Darrell Castle talks about what is going on in Minneapolis as well as the state of Minnesota — what is going on there, does anyone care, and what about fraud. Transcription / Notes MINNESOTA IS A STRANGE PLACE Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 6th day of February in the year of our Lord 2026. Although I am a little late for the party I will be talking about what is going on in Minneapolis as well as the state of Minnesota. What in the world is going on there and does anyone care about the violence and death, and also what about the fraud. Was a 37-year-old ICU nurse really a threat to the ICE agents in Minnesota? Do Americans who film such agents as they try to do their jobs belong on government lists. Should the presence of ICE agents in Minnesota be eliminated since the politicians and the people apparently are violently opposed to their presence. The answers to these questions, unfortunately, almost always depend on one's political party affiliation. Republicans back ICE in its deportation efforts while Democrats stand with Alex Pretti. Sometimes these positions require members of both parties to abandon the principles they once held dear. The struggle this time around has often centered on the real culprit, the ruling class. Everything seems like a diversion or distraction. When you see the Minnesota politicians parading around talking about the demonization of the Somali community one might wonder if they are just trying to distract attention away from the billions in fraud from which they allegedly received hefty amounts. When the administration doubles down on its hardline response by sending in more and more agents even after people have been killed one wonders if this is in reality an effort to distract us from the coming stupid pointless war against Iran. Yes the U.S. sent another carrier battle group into the Persian Gulf as an obvious threat to attack at the moment of Trump's or Netanyahu's choosing. Yes, Bibi has or soon will be coming to America for the 6th time in the Trump presidency perhaps to deliver to the president his strike options for the coming attack on Iran. A diversion for our attention is therefore a welcome side benefit thanks to the violence of the protesters in Minneapolis. I can't help but wonder why the president has made no effort to explain to the American people why an attack on Iran is in their best interest. He seems to go from one reason to another as one justification is erased, another takes its place. He first gave us the nuclear threat or weapons of mass destruction we have heard many times before. Then, we are told the nuclear enrichment sites were obliterated in a previous American attack. Then CIA, Mossad, and who knows how many others, allegedly launched a violent protest movement directed at regime change. When the Iranian regime put down the uprising with extreme violence that became another excuse for an attack. The sides are talking now about a way to avoid war but I get the impression it is simply a brief delay for some reason or another. A similar delay is going on in Minnesota as the sides are talking and Mr. Homan has agreed to withdraw 700 agents. Could the agreement be this, look Governor Waltz if you will stop inciting this violence and let us at least arrest the murderers and rapists among you then you can keep the millions you stole from the American people. I don't know if that is true but it sounds plausible to me. What about fraud? Let's talk about that for a moment. The fraud conducted by the “Somali community” escorted into the country by Barack Obama and Joe Biden and grouped together in Minnesota so they could have political power and even elect their members to congress to lecture us about racism. We are expected to concentrate on the seeming insanity of the ICE protesters and ICE agents instead of the money and where it goes. The last figures I have seen reveal that Somali welfare fraud in Minnesota is estimated at $9 billion. That is $9 billion of Medicaid and other welfare stolen from people who work and from people who need the help and shuffled off to various fraudulent enterprises run by the Somali community. That is just the amount found to have been stolen in Minnesota. It's predicted to be even worse in California, Illinois, Maine, New York, and perhaps other Democrat states. Who knows how many billions of dollars of your labor have been stolen. Well, Elon Musk says he knows the various forms of fraudulent payments given away by the federal government amount to $1.5 and $2 trillion per year which is about 25% of annual government spending and which coincides almost exactly with the deficit. In other words, if these figures are correct that $2 trillion the government spends over what it takes in is all fraud. Almost all this fraud goes to perpetuate various deep state programs and to line the pockets of Democrat voters and especially their politicians. That's why they fight so hard to make us ignore it and to detract us from investigating it. Now, let me say a few words about the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis. Mr. Pretti apparently was killed when the agents first disarmed him of his legally possessed handgun, then threw him to the ground and shot him in the back many times. The object he was waving in his hand was a cell phone and to say they thought it was a gun made no sense because he had been disarmed by them. It does remind one a little of the bad old days of Democrat presidents when conservatives feared the Feds rather than supporting them. I'm thinking specifically of the incident in which Vicki Weaver had her head blown off by an FBI sniper named Lon Horiuchi while she stood in her cabin door holding her child. Agents also killed the Weaver's 14-year-old son by shooting him in the back. I knew Randy Weaver quite well back then as we had met at many speaking engagements and he was often at gun shows where I campaigned for office. The government today says there is no comparison with Vickie and Alex Pretti because she was unarmed. The truth is that Vickie had a .380 handgun in a holster under her dress just as Pretti had a legal gun in his possession. Once again they, the ruling elite that is, distract us from the real enemy. I've seen and heard Mr. Pretti described as a beloved ICU nurse and a peaceful man. I have no argument with the beloved description since I have no evidence to dispute that but the peaceful part I definitely dispute. To me, he appeared to be a man so fanatical in his system of beliefs that he was out of control and violently so. He was a nurse, which is a profession of the most noble among all if it is practiced correctly. Who can't tell stories of heroic nurses sitting with the dying or helping one through some of the most trying moments of life. Well, there was another nurse whose name goes unmentioned, but not for me. I say her name and I hope her parents are not offended by that but I feel compelled to speak for her because she really was peaceful. Her name was Laken Riley and she was peacefully jogging on her Georgia college campus when she was assaulted, raped, and murdered by an illegal criminal invited into this country by Joe Biden. Why, I ask, do none of the protesters care about Laken. She goes unmentioned by Democrat politicians and their protesters because I guess she just doesn't fit their political agenda. Laken's benevolence, her altruistic pursuits, her many accomplishments, her hopes and dreams count for nothing because she did not meet the Democrat politician's definition of someone they should care about. Sadly, Laken went out for a jog and she didn't come back the same fate has happened to literally dozens of women and girls at the hands of criminals whose cages were opened by Joe Biden. Just to name a few Sarah Root, Rachel Morin, Jocelyn Nungaray but there have been countless others. Jocelyn is of particular importance to me but I don't say much about her because she was a 12 year of child when she was very brutally murdered by five of Joe Biden's criminal invaders. No one speaks for her I suppose she is an embarrassment to the entire spectrum of what the ruling elite are trying to accomplish in this country and this world. That's probably enough about the women who have been murdered but there is one more and very recently. In Illinois recently a man named Joe Abraham has gained attention because he has had the audacity to speak for his 20-year-old daughter Katie, killed while stopped at a traffic light by a drunk illegal named Julio Cucol-Bol. Mr. Bol fled the scene but Katie was killed instantly. At least she didn't have to endure the torture that Jocelyn did. This case reminds me of that most appealing argument that to deport criminals would be forced separation of families. Well, the Abraham, Riley, and Nungaray families among countless others were certainly separated. None of these women are ever spoken of by Democrats and there have been no protests or demonstrations objecting to the government's policy of inviting violent criminals to walk among us. I suggest that when we see and hear the violent protests about ICE we try to remember the real victims who for Democrat politicians and their supporters remain nameless but for their families the loss is never ending. In Conclusion, I want to conclude by recommending a book that was just released and which I had to get an early copy to read. Peter Schweizer's “The Invisible Coup, How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Migration as a Weapon.” That book opens for you the war that has been prosecuted against us by people who hate us and intend to destroy us, and unfortunately that often includes our leaders. Finally, folks, what in the world does this all mean? That's a topic for another day perhaps next week, we'll see. Remember the nameless fallen ones and pray for peace here and abroad. At least that's the way I see it, Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

22-letnia studentka Laken Riley wybrała się rano na rutynowy jogging, który niestety miał się okazać jej ostatnim. Gdy przez długi czas nie wracała i nie odbierała telefonu jej bliscy zaalarmowali służby. Finał poszukiwań miał okazać się tragiczny, a śledczy krok po kroku odtworzyli jej ostatnie godziny, korzystając m.in. z danych elektronicznych i nagrań z kamer.

H4-Fri1/30/26-TCJS- " The people at cnn don't seem to understand the constitution " , "So the Democrats want illegals in this country for the votes, the census. " , "The Laken-Riley act is a Federal Law requiring ICE to detain and Deport " , "Luiji Mangionne will not face the death penalty if charged "

Rep. Ernie Yarborough (R–Trinity) joins Greg in a Statehouse sit-down to discuss progress on the Laken Riley Act in the Alabama House. He shares the story behind the bill's name, the public-safety concerns driving the legislation, and what supporters hope the bill will accomplish.

De Europese top over de lening aan Oekraïne is uitgedraaid op een overwinning voor premier Bart De Wever. Want Oekraïne zal niet ondersteund worden met het geld dat vaststaat bij Euroclear, wel met een Europese lening. Hoe is De Wever daarin geslaagd? Peter De Lobel en Bart Beirlant van onze buitenlandredactie volgden de Europese top en zagen hoe de Euroclearoptie tot op het laatst op tafel lag, maar er dan toch afviel. Zij leggen in deze extra aflevering van DS Vandaag uit hoe alles gekanteld is in de richting die premier De Wever voor ogen had.

In this episode, Vanessa is joined by her daughters, Laken and Claire, for an honest, thoughtful conversation about Christmas: what makes it magical, and what so often turns it into work. Together, they reflect on childhood memories, evolving traditions, and the pressure to make everything "just right." They talk openly about perfectionism, anxiety, and OCD, and how the holidays can intensify spiraling thoughts—especially for moms and daughters who care deeply. This episode is an invitation to slow down, embrace uncertainty, and protect the feeling of Christmas from the pressure to perfect it. Because the magic isn't found in doing more, but rather in presence, connection, and tenderness.   Get started with Chatbooks today!

Schlechter Sex – wir alle hatten ihn, aber kaum jemand redet drüber. In dieser Folge sprechen wir genau darüber: Was bedeutet „schlecht“ überhaupt im Bett? Woran liegt's, wenn's zwischen den Laken nicht funkt – und warum fällt es uns so schwer, das offen anzusprechen?Wir schauen auf Erwartungen, Scham, Kommunikation und die große Frage: Wird's besser, wenn man einfach drüber redet – oder ist schlechte Sexualität ein Dealbreaker?Am Ende der Folge weißt du, wie du herausfindest, was du willst – und wie du es so sagst, dass es nicht cringy wird, sondern ehrlich.Ein Podcast aus den Wake Word Studios.Host: Corinna Theil & Christin BaloghExecutive Producer: Christoph Falke & Ruben Schulze-FröhlichProducer: Josephine AleytRedaktion: Corinna Theil & Christin BaloghSounddesign & Produktion: Fabian Schäffler Hosted on Acast.

Eine 14-jährige, die urplötzlich verschwindet. Ein verlassener Tesla in den Hollywood Hills und ein Musiker auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Karriere – D4vd –, auf den dieses Fahrzeug offiziell zugelassen ist. Als die stark verweste Leiche von Celeste Rivas Hernández im Frunk des Autos gefunden wird, zieht der Fall eine internationale Öffentlichkeit in seinen Bann. Zahlreiche Fragen bleiben ungeklärt: Wie starb Celeste? Welche Verbindung könnte sie zu dem Künstler gehabt haben? Und warum finden sich im Netz plötzlich Bilder, Clips und Chatverläufe, die vermeintlich auf eine Beziehung zwischen den beiden hindeuten? In dieser Episode trennen wir Fakten von Spekulationen, schauen auf bestätigte Informationen, offene Fragen und die Rolle, die Online-Communities in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung spielen. Was wissen wir wirklich über die letzten Monate in Celestes Leben? Und wo beginnen Deutungen, Theorien und Interpretationen, die bislang keine belastbare Grundlage haben?

Two crimes. Two young lives. Two moments of sheer panic that turned fatal. A musician whose Tesla held the body of a missing 15-year-old. A college cheerleader who hid her newborn in a closet, then went out for fast food. In this extended Hidden Killers episode, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dissect the chilling psychology behind both the D4vd / Celeste Rivas Hernandez and Laken Snelling cases — revealing how fear, shame, and an underdeveloped brain can twist reality into delusion. Why do young people believe they can hide what can't be hidden? What happens in the mind when panic flips the switch from reason to denial? And what does neuroscience tell us about the prefrontal cortex — the part of the brain that's supposed to see the bigger picture — simply not being ready yet? This isn't about monsters. It's about immaturity, fear, and the illusion of control. It's about how a single impulsive act — followed by a catastrophic cover-up — can change everything. Raw, honest, and psychologically deep, this episode shows that the scariest thing about these crimes isn't the violence. It's how human the decisions behind them really are. #HiddenKillers #D4vd #LakenSnelling #TrueCrime #PsychologyOfCrime #ShavaunScott #TonyBrueski #ImpulseControl #BrainDevelopment #FearAndDenial Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When 21-year-old University of Kentucky cheerleader Laken Snelling gave birth alone in her apartment, what happened next stunned investigators. She wrapped her newborn in a towel, placed the body in a trash bag inside her closet — and then, according to court documents, ordered McDonald's through an app and tried to go about her day. This episode digs into that impossible contradiction: how someone can experience the most traumatic moment of their life and immediately act as though nothing happened. Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explore the psychological mechanics of shock, shame, and denial — and why the young brain, overwhelmed by fear and isolation, can make devastating choices it can't comprehend. Is this a story of pure evil? Or of panic, immaturity, and a desperate attempt to keep life “normal” when everything has already collapsed? We'll look at how identity, reputation, and fear of judgment can override rational thought, and why concealment often feels like the only option to a terrified young adult. This isn't a story about excuses — it's about understanding how fear rewires the human mind. #HiddenKillers #LakenSnelling #TrueCrime #PsychologyOfDenial #ShavaunScott #TonyBrueski #UniversityOfKentucky #ImpulseControl #CrimeAndPsychology #HiddenBirth Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Today Justin sits down with Laken Pavan. Laken is an 18-year-old student from Vancouver, Canada. In April, 2024, he left Vancouver and traveled to Eastern Ukraine to join a volunteer group there called InterBrigade. Shortly after arriving, he was confronted by agents from the Russian FSB Federal Security Service, who recruited him to work on their behalf gathering information elsewhere in Europe. He first traveled to Denmark and later to Poland, communicating with his handlers online. Laken was arrested not long afterwards in Warsaw and sentenced to 20 months in prison for espionage. He's only recently been released and returned home to Vancouver and is telling his story here now for the first time.Connect with Laken:IG: @laken.caConnect with Spycraft 101:Get Justin's latest book, Murder, Intrigue, and Conspiracy: Stories from the Cold War and Beyond, here.spycraft101.comIG: @spycraft101Shop: shop.spycraft101.comPatreon: Spycraft 101Subtack: spycraft101.substack.comFind Justin's first book, Spyshots: Volume One, here.Check out Justin's second book, Covert Arms, here.Download the free eBook, The Clandestine Operative's Sidearm of Choice, here.Support the show

This week on Headline Highlights: Karen Read is back in the news as the O'Keefe family files a wrongful death lawsuit against her. There are new updates in the case of Laken Snelling as the road to trial draws closer. A plumber is accused of trying to hire a hitman to kill his estranged family. A delivery driver receives a chilling order, complete with a hatchet, bleach, and zip ties. And police respond to a disturbing 911 report to discover a 2-year-old boy in a shocking state of decomposition…

Reading the arrest affidavit for Laken Snelling & what we know so far. Also, high school classmates and parents are speaking out saying Laken was a mean girl in high school, pushing some to leave for another school. Donna Adelson Bodycam https://youtu.be/d6UBjNQpe_4?si=jnrJmfSpe8O3MAEdALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout  - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!

Laken Snelling & The Narcissism Epidemic: When Image Outranks Empathy Quick legal note up top: Laken Snelling has pleaded not guilty. A preliminary autopsy was inconclusive with further testing pending. There is no homicide charge at this time. She waived her preliminary hearing, and the case is now with a grand jury. Those facts stand while we talk about culture. Tonight's episode isn't a debate over statutes—it's a post-mortem on the air a lot of young women are breathing. The filings outline a sequence after birth—wrap, place, clean—and investigators say they found deleted photos reportedly taken during labor along with searches about a concealed pregnancy. There's also a statement to medical staff about seeing movement and hearing a “whimper”—not a medical finding, but a detail in the documents that changed the temperature of the room the moment people read it. What ties those beats together isn't politics; it's image management. We dig into how a narcissism epidemic—not clinical labels, but learned habits—trains an image-first reflex: protect the brand, keep the feed clean, make the optics unbreakable, even when reality is doing the opposite. We're not shaming grooming; we're interrogating curation as morality. Why does “looking composed” in court hit like a symbol in a case where concealment is central to the filings? What does it mean when the best-practiced skill in a crisis is deletion, not disclosure? We walk through the verified spine (birth → concealment → court) and explain, in plain English, how algorithmic reward systems push visibility without vulnerability—and how that can harden into callousness when the stakes are human. No speculation, no graphic detail, and no shortcuts around the legal guardrails. If new lab results or grand jury actions change the record, we'll update. But the cultural takeaway is already here: if you train kids to value the avatar over the actual, don't be surprised when the avatar wins. The fix isn't a slogan; it's formation. Train empathy like a skill. Choose the human, not the brand.
