Five words, sent to a thirteen-year-old, read aloud by an LAPD detective at the d4vd preliminary hearing, and the answer that came back was two days. This episode covers the July 24 session in the case against David Anthony Burke, the singer known as d4vd, charged with murder in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Detective Corey Farell, closing out the prosecution's presentation, testified that the messages between Burke and Celeste begin in August 2022, when she was eleven years old, and do not stop until April 23, 2025, the day prosecutors allege she was killed. The January 2024 exchange indicates Celeste was pregnant. It includes Burke's laughing reply to a child carrying that weight, the question about when she would get it done, and one more question he told her his mother advised him to ask, whether it was his. Celeste answered with his name. That name, prosecutors say, was tattooed in red ink on her finger, one of two fingers missing when she was found, and a court brief states they believe that is exactly why. The session also brought Dr. Grant Ho's autopsy testimony. Two sharp-force wounds. A timeline the science could only narrow to at least weeks. And answers her family will never get, because of the condition her remains were left in. Burke has pleaded not guilty to all charges. His attorneys spent the hearing attacking the evidence trail, and the decision on a trial belongs to Judge Charlaine Olmedo alone. Every quote in this episode comes from open court testimony and filings. None of it can be unsaid, none of it leaves this case, and all of it is waiting for a jury if the judge sends it there.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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?

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?

Hours after prosecutors say Celeste Rivas Hernandez died, an LAPD detective testified, David Burke's phone and his Tesla were parked on a lonely stretch off Highway 154. At 12:04 in the morning the phone placed a call to her number. It went unanswered, and the car was back in the Hollywood Hills by about seven.Everything the state has shown at the d4vd preliminary hearing runs through one rented garage in the Hollywood Hills, and the defense has to answer for all of it.An LAPD criminalist told the court that a presumptive chemical test reacted strongly on the black rubber mats covering that garage floor, and again on the bricks she found underneath them. A rowing machine tested positive. A green tarp tested positive. A charging cord tested positive. A trash bag with wipes inside it tested positive. An inflatable pool that looked spotless and smelled fresh had one area glow under the same chemical, and a second criminalist later fit plastic fragments recovered during the autopsy into the cuts in that pool like puzzle pieces.Sitting a few feet from all of it were jugs and trays that tested negative and were written into the report without much fuss.Tony and Robin go item by item. Not to summarize the hearing — to interrogate it. What does the defense say about the pool? What does it say about the chain saw handles that were never swabbed for touch DNA? Or the third saw found in a closet and never collected, or the footwear impressions nobody could lift and nobody ever compared to a shoe?Blair Berk already got the state's own criminalist to say she cannot call it definitely blood. Only possibly blood.David Anthony Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing through his attorneys, and a judge will decide whether there is enough here for a trial. 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?

Testimony placed David Burke's phone and his Tesla off Highway 154 in Santa Barbara County in the small hours after prosecutors say Celeste Rivas Hernandez died. While he was out there, according to an LAPD detective, the phone made one outgoing call. It rang through.Three days of d4vd preliminary hearing testimony have turned one rented Hollywood Hills garage into the center of a murder case. The state's criminalist described spraying Bluestar and watching the floor mats react, then the bricks beneath them, then a rowing machine, a green tarp, a charging cord, and a trash bag holding wipes and a scrap of black fabric.She described a blue inflatable pool with nothing visible on it at all. It smelled fresh months later and had a dryer sheet clinging to it, and she testified that one area of it lit up under the chemical anyway. Another criminalist matched plastic fragments taken during the autopsy directly into the cuts in that pool.And in the middle of all of it, sitting in plain view, were jugs that came back negative.Tony and Robin work through the state's evidence piece by piece and ask how the defense answers each one, because Blair Berk is going to have an answer. She already got the criminalist to concede she cannot call the reaction definitely blood. She already put the untested chain saw handles on the record, along with the third saw pulled from a closet that investigators decided was not worth collecting.The alternate-suspect theory needs somebody else, and multiple people lived in that house. The state says her DNA is in his car and in his home. Somewhere between those two facts is the case.David Anthony Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing through his attorneys. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old, and everything in that courtroom exists because she is not here.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

LAPD forensic evidence presented on Day 3 of d4vd's preliminary hearing connected the Hollywood Hills garage to the remains of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez through physical fragments too small to see without a lab. Trace analyst Lisa LaHendro testified that pieces cut from a blue inflatable pool in the garage matched material recovered from Celeste's leggings.The pool had "scalloped and straight" cuts made by a sharp object. LaHendro found hair fibers, plant material, and black foam-like fragments inside it. Criminalist Samantha Tosch confirmed the DNA match between the Tesla, the home, and Celeste. Lauren Wallace described evidence of blood cleanup throughout the garage — real blood, scrubbed from surfaces in a space that also contained jugs of fake blood the defense attributes to music video production.Defense attorney Blair Berk focused her cross-examination on investigative gaps. Chainsaw handles never swabbed. The Tesla exterior never tested. Multiple residents in the house. She's building the framework for a trial defense centered on alternative access. The prosecution's response came through Detective Roecker's technology analysis — cell tower data that tracked Burke's Tesla and phone to Santa Barbara County three times, beginning the night Celeste allegedly died. Her passport card was found along that same stretch of Highway 154.Burke is charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances, unlawful acts involving a minor, and mutilation of human remains. He has pleaded not guilty. Celeste was fourteen years old, from Lake Elsinore. Her body was found in the front trunk of Burke's Tesla — one day after what would have been her fifteenth birthday.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?

Pool fragments on a dead girl's leggings. That's the evidence that came out of Day 3 of the d4vd preliminary hearing in Los Angeles, and it draws a direct forensic line between the Hollywood Hills garage where prosecutors allege David Anthony Burke dismembered fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez and the clothing found with her remains.LAPD trace analyst Lisa LaHendro testified that a blue inflatable kiddie pool in the garage had deliberate cuts — "scalloped and straight" — made with a sharp tool. The fragments removed from those cuts were recovered from Celeste's leggings. Criminalist Samantha Tosch testified the DNA matched. Criminalist Lauren Wallace found cleaned-up blood throughout the garage. And jugs of fake blood were sitting in the same space — the defense says music videos; the prosecution points to the real blood scrubbed from surfaces feet away.Blair Berk, Burke's defense attorney, spent her cross-examination asking what police didn't test. Chainsaw handles were never swabbed for DNA. The Tesla exterior was never tested. Multiple people lived in the house. Berk is building toward an alternative theory. But Detective William Roecker's cell tower testimony tracked Burke's Tesla and phone to Santa Barbara County three times — starting on the night Celeste allegedly died. Her passport card was found along that same highway corridor.The hearing continues. Burke has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder with special circumstances and other charges. Celeste was fourteen years old when she went to his home and was never heard from again.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?

Day 2 of d4vd's preliminary hearing put a dollar figure on the alleged motive and a location pin on the alleged cover-up. Prosecutors called two financial witnesses who testified Burke grossed more than $10 million in three years. Then the questioning turned personal — a money manager admitted knowing Celeste Rivas Hernandez's first name before the body was ever found. He heard it from Burke's own manager. The prosecutor asked about international travel and nightclubs with fake identification before the defense shut it down. A CHP officer described how a Caltrans worker found Celeste's passport card in the brush along State Route 154 in Santa Barbara County, about ninety-five miles from Burke's Hollywood home. Location data allegedly places Burke at that exact spot twice — once right after the alleged killing, and again weeks later. An LAPD criminologist then described what she found inside the Tesla: dust, decomposition, insects, and air fresheners in every compartment. The hearing continues.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This episode flips the script. Instead of Larry hosting, Marc Hildebrand, one of the top coaches in the Dad Edge Business Brotherhood, a 20-year LAPD veteran, life coach, and founder of Modern Leadership, sits Larry down and interviews him. The jumping-off point is a hard statistic: most men are lonely, and the majority don't have a single friend they could call at 3am. Larry opens up about the mastermind that changed his life eleven years ago, the "cost of doing nothing" question that got him to say yes, the BRAVE MAN system his Boardroom runs on, and the August 2017 morning his wife told him he was losing her. If you're a man who's surrounded by people but still feels alone, or a business owner pouring everything into work while the rest of your life drifts, this one is a roadmap.   Timeline Summary [1:02] – The loneliness statistic and why Larry isn't surprised it's that high [3:17] – Marc introduces Larry and the role-reversal format [7:04] – The first mastermind eleven years ago and mentor Aaron Walker [8:45] – Rusty relationships and why "fine, good, busy" keeps men shallow [10:03] – The $500-a-month invitation that sounded like snake oil [11:55] – The question that changed everything: the cost of doing nothing [13:45] – Sitting with the chills, imagining life a year out, and calling back in 12 minutes [16:24] – What pulled Larry to lean in instead of talking himself out of it [19:03] – "Show me your calendar and I'll show you what's important to you" [22:59] – Why it's never the business, it's the person running the business [25:41] – The BRAVE MAN system explained category by category [29:53] – Why the room, not just the strategies, is what gets men to change [30:52] – The black belt lesson: that's when the training actually begins [35:02] – Attracting your wife back to you instead of chasing [36:22] – The August 2017 morning Jessica said "you're losing me" [40:30] – Masculine and feminine energy, and helping your wife soften [44:11] – Inside the quarterly Goal Setting Intensive [47:19] – Why the Boardroom is only 20-25% about business [50:26] – Living an "and" life instead of an "or" life [52:36] – The Dad Edge core values, read in full for the first time [58:04] – Who the room is for, and how to join the intensive   5 Key Takeaways The Cost of Doing Nothing — When weighing an investment in yourself, the real question isn't the price. It's what your life looks like a year from now if you change nothing at all. It's Never the Business — Entrepreneurs blame the business for their disconnection, burnout, and lost health. The hidden truth is that it's the person running the business, and reactivity is the pattern to break. Attract, Don't Chase — Chasing your spouse reads as needy, desperate energy. Leading from a grounded, positive masculine presence lets her soften and pulls her back toward you. Set "And" Goals, Not "Or" Goals — You don't have to choose between growing your business and connecting with your family. The right question is how one could actually strengthen the other. The Room Is the Gold — Skills and strategies matter, but transformation happens in a room of trusted men who share wins in detail, hold public accountability, and call each other forward.   Links & Resources Episode page and all links: https://thedadedge.com/1515 Join the Dad Edge Alliance: https://thedadedge.com/join Dad Edge Boardroom Goal Setting Intensive (July 31, 8am central, 10 guest spots): https://thedadedge.com/goals   Enjoyed This Episode?

Our travels across the country continue with two of the signature sleuths of the City of Angels: private eye Philip Marlowe and Sgt. Joe Friday of the LAPD. We'll hear Gerald Mohr as Marlowe in "The Ebony Link" (originally aired on CBS on May 10, 1951) and "The Hiding Place" (originally aired on CBS on May 9, 1950).

Los Angeles hides an almost overwhelming number of ghosts behind its glamour, from the piano-playing spirit at Hollywood's Magic Castle and the body found in the Cecil Hotel's water tank to the sex-magick rocket scientist, Father Yod's robed disciples, and the cults that made the City of Angels a capital of the occult.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/hauntedlaREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p98dtw7CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:24.727 = Hollywood's Haunted Magic Castle00:09:13.905 = Los Angeles' Haunted Hotels ***00:27:05.636 = Los Angeles: City of the Occult ***00:51:50.907 = L.A.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness turns to Los Angeles, the City of Angels, and the almost overwhelming number of ghosts, haunted hotels, and occult history hiding behind its glamour, from the Magic Castle and the Cecil Hotel to the sex-magick rocket scientist Jack Parsons, cult leader Father Yod, and the ghosts of Griffith Park.It opens inside Hollywood's Magic Castle at 7001 Franklin Avenue, the private clubhouse of the Academy of Magical Arts, where the Houdini Séance Room honors a magician who spent his career trying to debunk spiritualism and left his wife Bess the code phrase "Rosabelle, believe" for contact from the afterlife. The castle carries the story of Irma, the piano-playing ghost said to have died in 1932 and returned to the mansion built in 1909 by Rollin B. Lane, along with the ghost of magician Dai Vernon near his favorite seat in the Palace of Prestidigitation, the unidentified girl in the Haunted Cellar, and a Halloween 2011 fire that started at the exact time of Houdini's 1926 death and gutted the Dante Room while sparing the Houdini Room.From there the episode checks into the haunted hotels of Los Angeles, beginning with the Knickerbocker, which opened in Hollywood in July of 1929, hosted Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio on their honeymoon, and staged Bess Houdini's tenth and final rooftop séance the night an isolated thunderstorm struck the building alone. It moves through the Ambassador on Wilshire Boulevard, where Robert F. Kennedy was gunned down by Sirhan Sirhan in the kitchen on June 4, 1968, the Rosslyn Annex with its forgotten Prohibition speakeasy, the Alexandria and its bricked-off phantom wing, the Biltmore where Elizabeth Short, the Black Dahlia, was last seen before her 1947 murder, and the Cecil Hotel, home to serial killers Richard Ramirez and Jack Unterweger and the site where guest Elisa Lam was found dead in the rooftop water tank in 2013 after guests complained the water tasted strange.Next the episode traces L.A.'s long history of the occult, running from Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and his early Pasadena partnership with rocket scientist Jack Parsons, who performed the "Babalon Working" ritual and later died at 37 in a home laboratory explosion, to Charles Manson and the Family murders of August 1969 that killed Sharon Tate and six others, Carlos Castaneda and the Yaqui shaman Don Juan Matus who launched the New Age movement, and Jim Baker, the marine turned messiah Father Yod, who took fourteen wives and led the Source Family from a Hollywood Hills mansion. It covers avant-garde filmmaker Kenneth Anger and the witch Marjorie Cameron, the 1920 LAPD raid on the Mazdaznan sun-worshipers, the love-cult of Edith Maida Lessing at Mount Helios, the Devil's Gate Dam in Pasadena, and the curse Petronilla Feliz laid on the land that became Griffith Park.The episode closes with a tour of famous L.A. ghosts: the more than one hundred jumpers off Pasadena's Colorado Street "suicide bridge," including Myrtle Ward, whose daughter survived the fall; the body parts Marines found in a freezer at the abandoned Rancho Los Amigos hospital in 2006; picnic table number 29 in Griffith Park, where a couple was crushed by a falling tree in 1976; Bela Lugosi's hearse drifting past his favorite cigar shop; the many spirits of the Queen Mary docked in Long Beach; the unsolved 1929 deaths of Ned Doheny and Hugh Plunkett at Greystone Mansion; the ghost of Superman actor George Reeves; and Bob Baker, still haunting his marionette theater alongside the dead puppeteers who worked there.

This week on the best in pet talk radio, Petrendologist Charlotte Reed talks about the shooting of Bernedoodle Jameson Marseille by the LAPD with Animal Legal Defense Fund's Executive Director Chris Green; with nationally recognized dog behavior expert, forensic scientist, and retired police lieutenant Jim Crosby- a leading researcher on canine aggression and fatal dog attacks who advocates for better trainning; and with Ann Marie Schiavone, an Associate Professor of the Thomas P Kline School of Law of Duquesne University discusses 4th Amendment issues and when police shoot dogs.

Heidi Planck, a 38-year-old finance professional and mother, disappeared after attending her son's football game in October 2021, sparking concern due to disabled location tracking on her devices and unusual behavior. Days after her disappearance, her dog would be found wandering around the 28th floor of a downtown-L.A. high rise building. Was this an important clue about what might have happened to Heidi the night she went missing? Or was there something more sinister at play? This is her story. If you know something about Heidi's disappearance, call the LAPD at 213-486-6840. There's also an anonymous tip line—the Los Angeles Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

HOUR 2 (07/15) – Shannon and Andy welcome KTLA's Rachel Menitoff to relive the cockroach that crashed her live shot before sitting down with LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell. They discuss what Los Angeles learned from hosting the World Cup, whether the city is prepared for the Super Bowl and Olympics, staffing and technology challenges facing the LAPD, and the department's efforts to reclaim MacArthur Park from open-air drug activity and homelessness. The hour wraps with a conversation about why people willingly wait in long lines for the hottest restaurants and whether the wait has become part of the experience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

D4vd case — the reckoning. David Burke's breakout song, his debut album, and a music video he released in 2025 all carry names, titles, and imagery that take on a very different meaning after the charges filed by the Los Angeles DA. This episode examines those parallels and the legal question of whether any of it is admissible under California law.Beyond the art: the investigation moved slowly. Seven months between the discovery of Celeste Rivas Hernandez's remains and Burke's arrest. Three grand jury panels. His close friend arrested in Montana for fleeing a subpoena. His family challenging the grand jury in Texas courts. The LAPD blocking the coroner's report for months.Burke faces first-degree murder charges with special circumstances: lying in wait, financial gain, and murder of a witness. Prosecutors also found illegal material involving minors on his iCloud. Forty terabytes of evidence total. The preliminary hearing is set for July 2026.LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

D4vd case final chapter — David Burke's music catalog reads differently after the charges. His breakout hit. His album title. A music video that shows imagery mirroring what prosecutors allege. Whether California's creative-expression protections keep any of it out of trial is an open question. What's not open is how it looks from the outside.This episode covers the investigation timeline from September 2025 through the April 2026 arrest. Why did the LAPD take seven months? Why was the coroner's report blocked for three months? Why did Burke's friend run to Montana? Why did his family fight a grand jury subpoena in Texas courts rather than talk about the child who had stayed in their home?Charges include first-degree murder with special circumstances. The death penalty is on the table.

Alright, we admit it—we might be cheating on our own rules just a little bit! Non-Horror July continues, and while this week's movie features zombies, reanimation labs, and melting flesh, we promise you it is mostly a bullet-riddled '80s action-comedy. We are locking, loading, and decomposing to review the 1988 cult classic: Dead Heat.The plot follows two wisecracking LAPD detectives who uncover a pharmaceutical conspiracy where criminals are being brought back from the dead to commit robberies. The catch? One of our heroes gets murdered early on and has exactly 12 hours to solve his own death before his body completely falls apart. To help us navigate this glorious blend of gunfights, practical gore, and relentless one-liners, we are joined by a very special guest: horror author Z.C.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 10, 2026. We open with a Senate map conversation nobody on the left wants to have — Democrats need to win every single toss-up race in November to take control of the chamber, while Republicans need only one. We walk through the Cook Political Report and Sabato's Crystal Ball projections, the four toss-up races that will decide everything — Alaska, Maine, Michigan, Ohio, and North Carolina — and why Republican overconfidence is still premature even with the structural advantage. We also explain why Graham Plattner's implosion in Maine may not be the gift Republicans assumed it was, why Roy Cooper is very likely to pick up North Carolina, and why Ken Paxton is making a race in Texas far closer than it has any business being. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump refused to sign the bipartisan housing bill — saying he won't put pen to paper until Congress passes the SAVE Act — but the bill will become law without his signature anyway, and House Republicans plan to celebrate its passage regardless. Then Trump fired the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission, citing the Seila Law decision as precedent and issuing a statement that the president reserves the right to remove individuals not fully aligned with the task of securing America's elections. And eight men from across the country — Ohio, Nebraska, Missouri, Washington, California, and West Virginia — have been indicted for plotting a drone and sniper attack on the UFC fight at the White House lawn, with all eight now arrested and facing life in prison. We also cover Joy Behar warning that President Trump is practically destroying democracy — and we note that the one place in America where a democratic election result was genuinely made null and void was the 2024 Democratic presidential primary, where Kamala Harris never won a single vote outside the convention floor. The Democrat Party is the party of projection. Whatever they accuse you of doing, they have already done. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson answer a listener question about Type 1 and Type 2 fun — and the conversation becomes a beautiful tribute to feral childhood. Type 1 fun is a roller coaster — thrilling in the moment, forgotten by morning. Type 2 fun is hiking in sleet, throwing rocks at alligators on the bayou, going off into the woods alone for hours while your parents had absolutely no idea where you were. The kind of fun that shapes you, scares you, and becomes the story you're still telling at 50. Teri and Kimberly worry that today's children — tracked by phones, sheltered from consequence, raised on Dateline — are growing up on Type 1 fun and missing the Type 2 experiences that built the people they became. We dig deep into California's 2022 decision to decriminalize loitering with intent to commit prostitution — signed by Governor Newsom on the grounds that 56% of those arrested were Black women, making it, in his telling, a racist law. The results, documented by City Journal and investigative journalist Abigail Schreier, are exactly what common sense predicted. Prostitution spiked immediately. Human trafficking followed. LAPD officers at the 77th Street Station rescued 123 children in 2024 — nearly eight times the number rescued in 2022, the year before the law took effect. Police now report seeing 14-year-old girls in G-strings on Los Angeles streets and having no legal authority to intervene. We make the case plainly: the left is not trying to reduce crime. It is trying to reduce the number of people arrested for crime. Those are not the same thing — and the difference is being paid for by the most vulnerable people on the streets. We also revisit a 1950 speech by Joseph McCarthy — and note that whatever his excesses, his core distinction holds up: there have always been two kinds of Democrats, the millions of loyal Americans who vote the ticket and want safe neighborhoods and stable jobs, and a small activist class that has been dragging the party toward something that looks less like democratic socialism and more like the thing McCarthy was warning about. The question in 2026 is whether that activist class is still the minority. Then it's Fake News Friday — including a California HOA fining residents for flying the American flag, activists pushing schools to teach Black English and girl math, Adam Sandler officiating Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding, a BB gun attack on a mosque that turned out to be carried out by a Muslim man, Iran threatening to kill President Trump at Khomeini's funeral, a new Broadway musical called Dolly about Dolly Parton, and CNN airing a quote from a fake congressman who runs a parody account. Justin Trudeau is now a backup dancer in a Katy Perry video. Spoilet Alert: that one's real. For our Bright Spot, weekly unemployment claims came in at 215,000 — with the January through July average of 213,000 representing the lowest sustained jobless claim numbers since 1968 and 1969, when the country had a third fewer people and the Vietnam draft was pulling hundreds of thousands of men out of the civilian workforce. We call it what it is — a labor market that is outperforming history in a country that was told it couldn't. And we close with words of wisdom on patriotism — from Calvin Coolidge, Edward Abbey, Adlai Stevenson, and Charles de Gaulle. You've got to love your country enough to tell the truth about it, defend it when it's right, and fight to make it better. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

It sounds like a legal thriller, but it's real. Rex Heuermann confessed to eight murders during family sessions run by Allison Winter, a counselor now facing eighteen felonies for allegedly practicing without a license and billing insurance for more than sixty thousand dollars. Legal analyst Eric Faddis lays out why that detail could give Heuermann's defense a genuine argument on appeal, even though undoing a guilty plea is far harder than winning after a trial verdict.Faddis breaks down the privilege fight too, whether confidentiality still protects sessions with someone who wasn't actually licensed, and what that could mean for everything Heuermann said behind those walls.From there we move to the D4VD case, where a status conference and a new Hulu documentary landed at nearly the same moment in the death of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Faddis explains why the documentary's confident, on-camera commentary from an LAPD detective and the district attorney could actually help the defense during jury selection, and why moving the trial out of California could genuinely be on the table. We also dig into the purchase history investigators have flagged, chainsaws, a burn box, bags, and what Faddis says it suggests about how many people may have been involved, with the preliminary hearing set for the twenty-first.Every time one of these cases looks buttoned up, a new thread pulls it back open.

Among the procedural questions raised by the investigation into the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez is LAPD's reported decision to hold the Tesla containing her remains for only forty-eight hours before releasing it. This look back, with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, examines what that decision means for the integrity of the physical evidence and for the defense's ability to challenge the forensic case at trial.Coffindaffer assesses the evidence-handling question alongside the broader investigative timeline. Burke's representatives initially described him as cooperative with investigators; LAPD later characterized him as uncooperative and reportedly stated he had assistance in handling the remains. The investigation involved three grand jury proceedings, none of which returned an indictment before LAPD moved independently to arrest Burke via a probable-cause warrant. The autopsy was completed and then sealed at LAPD's request — over the medical examiner's public objection — for months before its findings were made available.The segment also addresses the gap between the account reportedly provided by those in Burke's circle — who allegedly believed the fourteen-year-old girl was a nineteen-year-old college student — and the documented record of a child who had been reported missing three times, was not enrolled in school for a full academic year, and whose family has been waiting for answers since 2024. Burke faces first-degree murder with special circumstances, additional charges related to the victim's age, and a count related to the condition of her remains. He has pleaded not guilty.

 Rex Heuermann confessed to eight murders in front of his own family, in sessions run by a counselor who had no legal right to be there. Allison Winter now faces eighteen felonies for allegedly posing as a licensed clinical social worker and billing insurance for more than sixty thousand dollars while treating Heuermann for nearly three years. Legal analyst Eric Faddis joins us to explain why that detail might matter more than anyone expected.Faddis walks through a theory his team believes could carry real weight: Heuermann pled guilty, in part, to keep his wife and daughter off the witness stand. If the confession that drove that decision came from a deceptive setup, does the entire foundation of the plea come into question? We also break down the privilege fight, whether confidentiality still applies when the person hearing your confession wasn't actually who she claimed to be.From there we pivot to the D4VD case, where a status conference and a new Hulu documentary landed almost simultaneously in the death of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Faddis breaks down why an LAPD detective and the district attorney appearing on camera could open both of them up to tough cross-examination, and why the defense may push hard on whether a fair trial is possible after this level of exposure. We also cover the purchase history investigators have flagged and what it suggests about who else may have been involved, with the preliminary hearing now set for the twenty-first.Every time one of these cases looks settled, something new pulls a thread loose.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

He allegedly released an album two days after prosecutors say Celeste Rivas Hernandez was killed. He toured for months. He performed in Minneapolis the night after her remains were found in his Tesla across the country in Los Angeles. This look back, with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, reads that alleged behavior for what it reveals.Coffindaffer examines the profile of someone who allegedly carries something this extreme while functioning publicly at the highest level — the compartmentalization, the performance, the ability to project normalcy while investigators were quietly building a case behind the scenes. She also addresses the gap between what Burke's circle reportedly believed and the documented reality: they allegedly thought the girl in his orbit was a nineteen-year-old college student. She was a fourteen-year-old from Lake Elsinore who had been reported missing three times and hadn't attended school for a full year.The segment also raises hard questions about evidence handling. LAPD reportedly held the Tesla containing Celeste's remains for only forty-eight hours before releasing it. Coffindaffer assesses what that means for the physical evidence and for the defense's ability to challenge the forensic case at trial. Burke's team initially described him as cooperative; LAPD later said he was not and reportedly had help in the handling of the remains. Burke faces first-degree murder with special circumstances, additional charges related to the victim's age, and a count related to the condition of her remains. He has pleaded not guilty.

Asa and Victoria sat in the room while Rex Heuermann confessed to eight murders. The woman running those sessions, Allison Winter, is now the one facing prison time, charged with practicing as a clinical social worker without a license for nearly three years. Legal analyst Eric Faddis returns to dig into whether that detail gives Heuermann's defense a real opening, starting with the theory that his guilty plea itself may have been built on a fraudulent foundation.Faddis walks through the privilege question everyone's been asking: does confidentiality still protect a conversation with someone who wasn't legally a therapist? He breaks down both sides of that fight and what it could mean if Heuermann's team tries to challenge the plea on appeal.Then we turn to the D4VD case, where a new Hulu documentary and a fresh status conference collided in the death of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Faddis explains why the documentary's on-camera interviews with an LAPD detective and the district attorney could become a serious liability during cross-examination, and why the defense may argue the case has already been tried publicly before it ever reaches a jury. We also cover the purchase history prosecutors have flagged and what it suggests about how many people were involved, with the preliminary hearing coming up on the twenty-first.Three cases, three legal fights, all colliding on the same day. We break down every angle with Eric.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Celeste Rivas Hernandez was reported missing in 2024. Her remains were found in September 2025. David Anthony Burke wasn't arrested until April 2026. Three grand juries heard testimony. The autopsy sat sealed for months. This look back takes your listener questions to retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke and asks the question everyone keeps coming back to: why did it take so long?Dreeke walks through what the timeline reveals about how investigations of this complexity actually move — the condition of the remains that made determining cause of death extraordinarily difficult, the sealed medical examiner's report held under a security hold LAPD initiated over the ME's own objection, the forty terabytes of digital evidence reportedly recovered from Burke's devices, and the witnesses who fled testimony or had to be compelled to appear. He addresses the listener questions you've been sending: who failed this child, what does the pattern of three grand juries without an indictment tell us, and what does a case built on this volume of sealed evidence say about what prosecutors may still be holding.The segment also examines the gap between what Burke's circle reportedly believed — that Celeste was an adult — and the documented reality of a fourteen-year-old who had been reported missing three times and hadn't been in school for a year. Burke faces first-degree murder with special circumstances, additional charges related to the victim's age, and a count related to the condition of her remains. He has pleaded not guilty. His defense team says the evidence will show he did not cause her death. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Human or machine? 1992's Nemesis dives into a secret war between man and machine that is being waged in the criminal underground around the world in the distant future of…2027?! Only Alex, a half man half machine LAPD officer, can be the one to stop a violent cyborg takeover! The action and special effects take this b movie to the next level with more bullets and violence than you could shake a computer chip at. Albert Pyun builds a new, interesting world on the backs of established movie franchises that would go on to influence the next generation of scifi action directors. It's cheesy, it's campy, it's extremely hard to follow, but it's a ton of fun to watch. Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!

The chainsaws alone would be enough to make headlines. Add a burn box, bags, and a status conference that just wrapped, and you've got the D4VD case heating up right as a new Hulu documentary lands online, digging into the alleged relationship that led to fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez's death. Legal analyst Eric Faddis joins us to break down what happened behind closed doors at the latest hearing and how this documentary could reshape the road to trial.Faddis explains why the defense's biggest fight right now may not even be about the evidence itself, but about whether D4VD can get a fair trial anywhere in California after this level of exposure. We look at who appears in the documentary, an LAPD detective and the district attorney, both speaking with what Faddis calls striking certainty about evidence that hasn't been tested in court yet. He walks through why that could become a real problem for the prosecution once cross-examination begins.We also unpack the purchase history investigators have flagged and what it suggests about how many people may have been involved in what happened to Celeste, along with what investigators reportedly recovered from D4VD's phone. Faddis calls it some of the most damaging material in the case, assuming it holds up. With the preliminary hearing scheduled for the twenty-first, we break down what a defense win there would actually look like, and how rare that outcome 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?

The D4VD case just cleared another status conference, and a new Hulu documentary dropped right alongside it, putting new pressure on a story that had largely stayed under wraps until charges were filed. Legal analyst Eric Faddis joins us to explain what these pretrial hearings typically cover and why this one is shaping up to be a fight over publicity as much as evidence.Faddis breaks down why the defense may push hard on whether D4VD can even get a fair trial in California, given how far the coverage of this case has spread online. We also look closely at the documentary itself, which includes an LAPD detective and the district attorney speaking on camera about the evidence, and why Faddis believes that could open both of them up to tough cross-examination later. Then there's the purchase history prosecutors have flagged: chainsaws, a burn box, bags. Faddis explains why that detail alone points toward more than one person being involved, and what that could mean for who else might eventually face charges.We also dig into the evidence investigators say they found on D4VD's phone, and why Faddis calls it some of the most damaging material in the entire case if it holds up in court. With the preliminary hearing coming up on the twenty-first, we look at what the defense's quiet approach so far might be signaling.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A new Hulu documentary just dropped on the D4VD case, and it's raising as many questions about the investigators as it is about the singer charged in fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez's death. Legal analyst Eric Faddis joins us to unpack what came out at the latest status conference, why the documentary could complicate jury selection, and whether the defense can use its aggressive framing to their advantage.We start with the publicity problem. Faddis explains why the defense may argue this case has already been tried in the court of public opinion, and why moving the trial out of California could genuinely be on the table. Then we get into the documentary's most striking choice: it features an LAPD detective and the district attorney speaking on camera, seemingly without any hedge or qualifier, about evidence that hasn't yet been tested in court. Faddis breaks down why that kind of certainty could become a serious liability for the prosecution during cross-examination.We also talk through the purchase history prosecutors have pointed to, chainsaws, a burn box, bags, and why Faddis believes it strongly suggests more than one person was involved. And we dig into the evidence reportedly found on D4VD's phone, which Faddis calls some of the most damaging material in the case if it holds up. With the preliminary hearing set for the twenty-first, we look at what happens if the defense wins there, and what happens if they don't.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The medical examiner's office completed its findings on Celeste Rivas Hernandez months before the public ever saw them. Then LAPD sought a court order to seal the report — and the ME's office publicly objected, stating the hold prevented them from serving the community with transparency. The people whose job it is to speak for the dead were told to stay silent. This look back, with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, examines what the sealed autopsy revealed once it was finally unsealed, and what the decision to seal it says about how this investigation was conducted.The forensic findings described injuries consistent with a sharp instrument and physical evidence embedded in the remains that prosecutors say connects the condition of the body to the charges filed. Toxicology reportedly found substances in the system of a child who should have been in eighth grade. Coffindaffer reads the forensic picture — what wound characteristics indicate about intent, what physical trace evidence means for establishing who handled the remains, and how the volume of digital evidence reportedly recovered from Burke's devices reshapes an investigation of this magnitude.The segment also examines the tension between LAPD's investigative strategy and the ME's mandate for transparency — and whether sealing autopsy findings for this long is standard practice or an anomaly. Burke faces first-degree murder with special circumstances, additional charges related to the victim's age, and a count related to the condition of her remains. He has pleaded not guilty.
