The Lindsay Clancy murder trial delivered its most clinical — and most brutal — testimony yet today. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is building an insanity defense around claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Three witnesses took the stand. Nichole Bradley, Assistant Deputy Superintendent with the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department, described the security watch maintained on Clancy's hospital room. Then the medical testimony began. Renee Stonebridge of the Chief Medical Examiner's Office, trained in neuropathology, testified that all three children died from asphyxia, with significant brain swelling from lost oxygen and blood supply. Dr. Barbara Olson, who conducted the autopsies on Cora and Dawson, testified that bruises found on Cora were recent, though she couldn't specify exactly when they were inflicted, and that both children would have experienced pain as they lost consciousness during strangulation. Cause of death for both: mechanical asphyxiation.The testimony proved too much for the courtroom more than once — recesses were called as Clancy had visible emotional reactions to what was being described.Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window after the killings and remains paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several more weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, sat in court today for some of the most difficult testimony of the trial so far. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Today the courtroom heard from three witnesses. Nichole Bradley, Assistant Deputy Superintendent with the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department, testified about providing security watch at Clancy's hospital room following her alleged suicide attempt. Then came the harder part. Renee Stonebridge, neuropathology-trained and with the Chief Medical Examiner's Office, testified that all three children died of asphyxia, with significant brain swelling caused by lack of oxygen and blood flow. Dr. Barbara Olson, who performed the autopsies on Cora and Dawson, testified that bruising on Cora was recent — though she couldn't pin down exactly when it occurred — and that both children would have felt pain as they lost consciousness during strangulation. Mechanical asphyxiation, she confirmed, killed them both.Court had to recess more than once as Clancy reacted emotionally to the testimony.After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to jump from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan.

On January 24, 2023, what began as an ordinary evening for a young Massachusetts family ended in an unimaginable tragedy. Lindsay Clancy was a labor and delivery nurse, wife, and mother of three young children. That night, her husband, Patrick, briefly left their Duxbury home to pick up dinner and medication. When he returned, everything had changed. Their three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, would ultimately lose their lives, and Lindsay would survive after suffering serious injuries herself. In this episode of Pushing Up Lilies, I walk you through what happened that night and the events surrounding the deaths of these three children. As a nurse and former forensic death investigator, this case raises difficult questions for me, not only about the investigation itself, but about mental health following childbirth. Lindsay had reportedly been struggling with her mental health and receiving treatment before the deaths, bringing postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and postpartum psychosis into the national conversation. What happens when a mother's perception of reality becomes distorted? How do investigators begin reconstructing a scene involving multiple children and a critically injured parent? And how do we discuss a case this devastating while remembering that at the center of it are three children whose lives were lost? This week, we're focusing on the night everything happened: the timeline, the circumstances surrounding the deaths, and what investigators began to uncover. Next week, we'll continue with the Lindsay Clancy case as we turn our attention to the courtroom, the evidence and arguments being presented, and the complicated questions surrounding postpartum psychosis and criminal responsibility. This is a heartbreaking case with no easy answers.

The medical examiner sitting on Nolan Wells' sealed autopsy results has a history worth knowing before those results ever go public. In 2021, Dr. Staci Turner, Mississippi's chief medical examiner, ruled Damien Cameron's in-custody death "undetermined," despite her own autopsy documenting neck injuries consistent with compression from the deputies who restrained him. Three independent forensic pathologists, brought in by the New York Times and Mississippi Today, reviewed the same evidence and reached a different conclusion: homicide. One of them, Dr. Michael Baden, former chief medical examiner of New York City, put it bluntly — "homicide, absolutely." A grand jury used Turner's "undetermined" ruling to decline charges. One of the deputies involved, Hunter Elward, is now in federal prison for his role in the Rankin County "Goon Squad" torture cases — a separate case that exposed exactly the kind of conduct Cameron's family always suspected. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines what that record means now that Turner controls the findings in Nolan Wells' case, why the district attorney sets the timeline for unsealing them with no deadline attached, and why Nolan's mother, Christine Wells-Wonsley, filed subpoenas the same day she buried her son. Attorney Ben Crump represented Cameron's family and now represents the Wells family — the same state, the same examiner, and a family that isn't waiting quietly for answers. Scientifically sound or not, Turner's findings arrive wrapped in a credibility problem the state never addressed the first time. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nolan Wells' autopsy results are sealed, and the woman who performed it has done this before. Dr. Staci Turner, Mississippi's chief medical examiner, ruled a 2021 in-custody death "undetermined" even though her own report documented neck injuries consistent with compression. Three independent forensic pathologists — including Dr. Michael Baden, former chief medical examiner of New York City — reviewed the same evidence and called it a homicide outright. A grand jury used Turner's ruling to decline charges against the deputies who restrained Damien Cameron. One of them, Hunter Elward, is now serving time in federal prison for the Rankin County "Goon Squad" torture cases — just not for Cameron's death. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer walks through what that history means now that Turner holds the results of Nolan Wells' autopsy. The district attorney controls when, or whether, those results get unsealed, and there's no deadline forcing the issue. Coffindaffer also examines what it says that Nolan's mother, Christine Wells-Wonsley, filed subpoenas the same day she buried her son. That's not the move of a family that trusts the process. Attorney Ben Crump represented Damien Cameron's family. He represents Nolan Wells' family now. Same state, same examiner, same attorney circling back to a system that already failed one family in a documented way. Nolan died near Horn Island, and in the time since, the pace of this investigation has tested whatever trust his family had left. None of this proves what happened to Nolan Wells. It proves the office responsible for telling us has a credibility problem it never fixed — and this family already knows it. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Staci Turner has Nolan Wells' sealed autopsy results in her hands right now, and this isn't the first time her office's conclusions haven't matched the evidence. In 2021, Turner ruled Damien Cameron's in-custody death "undetermined" — despite documenting neck injuries in her own autopsy consistent with compression. The New York Times and Mississippi Today brought in three independent forensic pathologists to review the same file. All three disagreed with her. Dr. Michael Baden, former chief medical examiner of New York City, called it "homicide, absolutely." A Rutgers pathologist said there was nothing undetermined about it at all. A grand jury leaned on Turner's ruling and declined to charge the deputies who restrained Cameron. One of them, Hunter Elward, is now in federal prison — convicted as part of the Rankin County "Goon Squad" torture cases, though not for Cameron's death. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins this episode to break down what Turner's history means for the Wells investigation, why the district attorney — not a court, not a deadline — controls when Nolan's results become public, and why Christine Wells-Wonsley filed subpoenas on the day she buried her son. Attorney Ben Crump represented Cameron's family. He represents the Wells family now, in the same state, in front of the same examiner. Tony Brueski and Jennifer Coffindaffer lay out exactly why this family has reason to doubt the results before they've even seen them. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three witnesses took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.The clinical parts of this case are the hardest to sit through, and today didn't spare anyone. Dr. Kimberley Springer, the medical examiner, testified to the autopsy findings for Callan — cause of death was complications from mechanical asphyxiation, strangulation by ligature. Clinical language for something that shouldn't need a definition.Then came the pediatrician, Dr. Lindsay Rosshart, who'd seen all three kids and, by her account, saw nothing alarming in Clancy either — no signs of postpartum depression, and on cross-examination she went further, calling Clancy a good mom. That's the tension this trial keeps circling back to: a woman everyone around her says looked fine, and three children who are dead.Susan Fraone, a preschool teacher at Learning Sprouts, added a smaller but pointed detail — drop-offs were hard for Dawson. Whether that means anything beyond a toddler having a rough morning is for the jury to decide.Prosecutors maintain Clancy understood what she was doing. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When an entire family is lost, it's easy for the headlines to focus on the person responsible. In this episode, I wanted to do something different. I'm taking you to Grand Haven Township, Michigan, where Mandy Karolkiewicz and her six children lost their lives in one of the most heartbreaking family annihilation cases of the year. Before we talk about the investigation, I want to remember the people whose lives mattered most, the victims. Using my experience as a forensic death investigator, I'll walk you through how investigators process a scene involving multiple homicide victims, how forensic evidence helps determine the sequence of events, and why details like wound analysis, fire patterns, and scene reconstruction are so important. We'll also discuss the research surrounding family annihilation, the psychological and behavioral patterns often seen in these cases and why recognizing risk factors may help save lives in the future. While we may never fully understand why these tragedies occur, we can learn from them, support those in crisis, and continue advocating for families before violence reaches a devastating conclusion. This episode is shared with deep respect for Mandy, her six children, and everyone whose lives were forever changed by this tragedy. * Listener Discretion Advised

In 2021, a twenty-nine-year-old Black man named Damien Cameron was restrained by Rankin County sheriff's deputies and transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Mississippi's chief medical examiner, Dr. Staci Turner, performed the autopsy. Her own findings documented internal bleeding in his neck consistent with compression injuries. She ruled the death "undetermined."Three national forensic pathologists — including former NYC chief medical examiner Dr. Michael Baden and Rutgers forensic pathology chief Dr. Zhongxue Hua — independently reviewed the case at the request of the New York Times and Mississippi Today. All three concluded the death was a homicide. A grand jury relied on Turner's ruling and declined to indict the deputies. One of them — Hunter Elward — is now serving federal time for the "Goon Squad" torture cases.That same medical examiner performed Nolan Wells' autopsy on July 7. Those results remain sealed. The independent autopsy came back undetermined with significant limitations. And the family's attorney — Ben Crump — is the same attorney who represented Cameron's family and now represents Trey Reed's family in another disputed Turner ruling.Even a perfect autopsy from this office, in this framework, won't be believed. That's not the family's fault. That's what happens when institutions lose credibility and nobody in power fixes it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Mississippi's chief medical examiner is facing scrutiny that goes far beyond the Nolan Wells case — and that scrutiny is exactly why the Wells family has no reason to trust whatever her autopsy says, even if the science is perfect.Dr. Staci Turner ruled a 2021 in-custody death "undetermined" after documenting injuries consistent with compression by deputies. Three independent pathologists — recruited by the New York Times and Mississippi Today — reviewed the same evidence and unanimously called it homicide. The grand jury used Turner's finding and filed no charges. One of the deputies is now in federal prison for the "Goon Squad" torture cases out of the same Rankin County Sheriff's Department.Turner also affirmed the official ruling on Trey Reed, a Black student found hanging from a tree at Delta State University. That family disputes the finding. A Change.org petition is now demanding an independent investigation into Turner's office.The pattern reaches beyond any one case. A sheriff who called Nolan's death no foul play before the autopsy existed. A DA who sealed the results behind a grand jury with no date. A governor who accused the family's attorney of stoking division. A medical examiner whose biggest prior ruling was contradicted by three experts. That's the framework — and it's the reason every family in the chain has hired its own pathologist.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nobody ever reviewed Dr. Staci Turner's ruling in the Damien Cameron case — three independent experts said she got it wrong, and she kept her job. Now she holds the sealed autopsy results for eighteen-year-old Nolan Wells. Retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines the structural problem: a medical examiner whose credibility was challenged by three national pathologists and never held to account, now sitting on findings that a family and a country are waiting for. The conversation covers Hunter Elward's presence at Cameron's arrest and his later federal conviction in the Goon Squad cases, the DA's control over the grand jury process with no committed timeline, and what Mississippi's history demands of an investigation that involves a Black teenager found dead near a barrier island with no answers.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Blair Berk asked the LA County medical examiner a question the courtroom wasn't expecting — whether Celeste Rivas Hernandez's fatal wounds could have been self-inflicted. In a case where prosecutors allege the defendant ordered chainsaws, a body bag, and a burn cage under a fake name. Where a body was found in the trunk of a Tesla. Where the alleged motive is a record deal worth up to nineteen million dollars.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down what Berk's questioning reveals about the trial defense — and whether three chainsaws that tested negative for blood and an Uber driver who couldn't confirm his passenger give the defense enough to survive the rest of the evidence.Bodycam from February 2024 shows Burke was told Celeste was thirteen. Prosecutors say the relationship continued fourteen more months. The defense says he “did not murder” her and “was not the cause” of her death — two different claims that Faddis says signal a very specific trial strategy.Burke has pleaded not guilty and is held without bail.

In this episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with J.R. Pickett — unpack the controversial and high-stakes topic of what used to be called excited delirium.They dig into the history of the syndrome (Bell's mania, acute exhaustive mania, agitated delirium), why major organizations including ACEP, ACMT, and the National Association of Medical Examiners have rejected the term, and the preferred modern language: hyperactive delirium with severe agitation. The conversation covers real-world presentation, the physiologic cascade that can lead to sudden cardiovascular collapse, the critical differences between a contained hospital environment and the uncontrolled street or austere setting, and the hard lessons from the Elijah McClain case.J.R. walks through practical decision-making for EMS and tactical medics: when de-escalation is possible, when sedation becomes necessary, why intramuscular ketamine remains the most forgiving and rapid option for the violently agitated patient, how to prepare for the predictable risks (brief apnea, loss of airway protection, metabolic derangement), and why continuous medical eyes-on monitoring after sedation is non-negotiable. They also address the dangerous intersection of law enforcement and medical care, the myth of “if they can talk they can breathe,” and the growing criminalization of medical decision-making that threatens providers' willingness to engage.Key TakeawaysThe condition is a true medical emergency with historically high mortality, even without restraint or intervention.Engagement ability is a practical field litmus test: if the patient cannot be redirected or answer basic questions, rapid intervention is usually required.Ketamine's wide therapeutic index and rapid IM onset make it the preferred agent for violent agitation when IV access is impossible — but it is not risk-free.Sedation is a procedure. Have airway equipment, monitors, and a clear team plan ready before the drug is given. Continuous medical provider eyes-on is mandatory in the early phase.“If you can talk, you can breathe” is dangerous teaching. Treat complaints of inability to breathe seriously.Noble intent + thorough preparation is the best defense against both bad outcomes and the growing criminalization of medical care.Chapters02:45 – What is (or was) excited delirium?

In this episode of Zone 7, Sheryl McCollum is joined by board-certified forensic pathologist Dr. Priya Banerjee for a conversation about the ongoing investigation into the death of Nolan Wells. Using publicly known facts of the case, Dr. Priya explains how forensic pathologists approach a suspected drowning and why an autopsy is only one part of a death investigation. Together, they discuss why following the evidence, not speculation, is what will bring Nolan’s family the answers they need. Highlights: (0:00) Sheryl McCollum introduces Dr. Priya Banerjee to Zone 7 and explains why Nolan Wells’ family deserves facts, not speculation (3:00) Why forensic pathologists rarely release preliminary autopsy findings before an investigation is complete (6:00) Reconstructing Nolan Wells’ timeline and why seemingly trivial details can become important evidence (7:45) What forensic pathologists look for when investigating a possible drowning (10:15) Water in the lungs, stomach contents, decomposition, and why drowning is never diagnosed by one finding alone (12:15) When families seek a second autopsy and how independent findings are evaluated (15:00) The emotional impact conflicting forensic opinions have on grieving families (18:15) Ruling out foul play: why investigators wait for a complete forensic examination (20:45) How timelines, witness statements, GPS data, and autopsy findings must support one another (22:15) The cost of speculation during an active death investigation (24:00) Pattern recognition and the role of evidence in forensic investigations Enjoying Zone 7?

When a murder ends in suicide, investigators lose one of the most important pieces of the puzzle—the person who could explain why. In this episode, I take you inside several recent murder-suicide cases from across the United States, including tragedies involving entire families, intimate partners, and parents and children. From Michigan to Oklahoma, Delaware, and Florida, these heartbreaking cases remind us that every scene tells a story, but it's the evidence that reveals what truly happened. As a forensic death investigator, I explain how investigators reconstruct these complex scenes by examining body position, injuries, blood evidence, trajectories, fire damage, digital evidence, timelines, and countless other details. When there is no suspect to interview, no trial, and often no suicide note, the investigation must rely on science, careful documentation, and the facts left behind. We'll also discuss why protective orders don't always prevent violence, why investigators avoid speculation during active cases, and why it's important to distinguish between homicide and suicide when understanding these tragedies. Throughout the episode, I share the questions investigators ask, the evidence they search for, and why the answers aren't always immediately clear. These cases are difficult to hear, but they also highlight the dedication of investigators, first responders, and forensic professionals who work tirelessly to uncover the truth for victims and their families. Join me as we explore the investigative process behind one of the most challenging types of death investigations, and the questions that often remain when murder ends in suicide.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on Lindsey Graham's cause of death.

Guest Host Major Terry Slatic Republican U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina died on July 11th at age 71 after what his office initially described as a "brief and sudden illness." A preliminary finding from the District of Columbia medical examiner later determined that he likely died from an aortic dissection caused by arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease (hardening of the arteries).

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.

After Jeffrey Epstein's death in 2019, the official ruling from the New York City Medical Examiner's Office was that he died by suicide in his Manhattan jail cell. However, that conclusion came under intense scrutiny when Dr. Michael Baden, a well-known forensic pathologist hired by Epstein's brother, publicly suggested that the injuries were more consistent with homicide. In response, Barbara Sampson, then–Chief Medical Examiner of New York City, forcefully defended the office's findings and rejected Baden's assertions. She stated unequivocally that the autopsy results, combined with the investigation, supported suicide by hanging, not foul play.Sampson's rebuttal was meant to put to rest the growing wave of speculation, but it also underscored the divide between official conclusions and the swirl of doubt fueled by Epstein's powerful connections and the suspicious circumstances of his death. By directly countering Baden, she stood by the credibility of her office's work, stressing that outside opinions could not outweigh the evidence they had gathered. Still, the public's mistrust lingered, and her statements became part of the broader controversy over whether Epstein's death was truly a suicide or part of a larger cover-up.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Kathleen Liggio, a senior investigator with the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, prepared an investigative report documenting the scene findings and physical evidence surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death inside the Special Housing Unit of the Metropolitan Correctional Center on August 10, 2019. Her investigation focused on reconstructing the conditions inside the cell and the physical circumstances in which Epstein was discovered. The report described Epstein being found unresponsive in a seated or kneeling position near the lower bunk with a ligature fashioned from a bedsheet tied to the bunk frame. Liggio documented the condition of the cell, the bedding materials used in the hanging, and the absence of evidence indicating a violent struggle within the confined space. The investigative summary also noted that the ligature marks on Epstein's neck were consistent with the type of suspension observed in hangings involving improvised materials such as torn bedding. Photographic documentation, scene measurements, and evidence collection were conducted as part of the investigation, and the information was forwarded to the forensic pathologist responsible for the autopsy determination. Liggio's role was primarily to document the death scene and gather the physical evidence that would inform the medical examiner's final ruling regarding cause and manner of death.The investigative findings described in Liggio's report supported the medical examiner's determination that Epstein died from suicidal hanging. The report reviewed injuries identified during the autopsy, including fractures of structures in the neck, and concluded that these injuries were consistent with the mechanics of hanging, particularly in older individuals where such fractures can occur more readily. Liggio also documented the lack of defensive injuries, the positioning of the ligature, and the availability of bedding materials within the cell that could be used to construct the hanging device. Her findings did not identify physical evidence suggesting the involvement of another individual inside the cell at the time of death. The report therefore concluded that the scene evidence, autopsy findings, and investigative observations were all consistent with a self-inflicted hanging while Epstein was alone in his housing unit. While the report addressed the forensic reconstruction of the death scene, it did not evaluate the operational failures within the prison that allowed Epstein to remain unmonitored for extended periods prior to his death.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00063517.pdf

Kristin Roman, a medical examiner with the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner, participated in the forensic review of Jeffrey Epstein's death and helped document the physical findings observed during the autopsy. The report detailed the injuries identified on Epstein's body, including ligature marks around the neck and fractures to structures in the neck consistent with hanging. Roman and the medical examiner's office concluded that the pattern of injuries, combined with the circumstances inside the cell, supported a determination that Epstein died by suicide through hanging while in federal custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in August 2019.The medical findings described how Epstein was discovered unresponsive in his cell and later pronounced dead after attempts at resuscitation failed. The autopsy documented the condition of the ligature, the position of the body when he was found, and the internal injuries associated with the neck compression. Based on the totality of the forensic evidence—external marks, internal fractures, and the absence of injuries typically associated with a struggle—the medical examiner's office ruled the manner of death a suicide. Roman's report formed part of the official medical record used to support that conclusion.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00063517.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Photos: Anchorage police Chief Sean Case, left, and Kelly Hunt. (Rhonda McBride / Courtesy Melvin Hunt) Anchorage Police say they are in the final stages of their investigation into the death of Kelly Hunt, the 19-year-old Shaktoolik student who disappeared in January on her way to college in Soldotna, as Rhonda McBride from our flagship station KNBA reports. Hunt's remains were found last month in a ravine in same Anchorage neighborhood where she had been staying with a friend. Anchorage Police Chief Sean Case says the Medical Examiner's preliminary report determined Hunt died from hypothermia and exposure, with alcohol in her system. “There's no indication that there's physical trauma. There's no indication that an assault has occurred. So, most of those questions — on whether-or-not there was a homicide — those questions have been answered through the Medical Examiner's process.” Case says Hunt was missing for more than 100 days, and due to prolonged exposure to the elements, he says it is nearly impossible to determine Hunt's exact time of death. Before closing out the investigation, Case says police will conduct follow-up interviews to learn more about the circumstances leading up to her death. Based on the outcome of those interviews, Case says the investigation could shift back towards a criminal case. He calls Hunt's death a tragedy, but says there is no evidence of a crime. Hunt was supposed to catch a bus from Anchorage to attend the Alaska Christian College in Soldotna, Alaska. Her friends told police she left on the morning of January 7 to meet with someone to buy alcohol and had left her purse and suitcase behind. Case says the investigation was further complicated, because her disappearance was not reported until four days later, but despite that, Case believes his police officers and detectives did a thorough job. But advocates for Missing and Murdered Indigenous People, including Antonia Commack, question police handling of the case. She says investigators are drawing conclusions too soon, without first questioning the people who last saw Hunt.” “How are you going to make that determination before you speak to those people. Because the bottom line is, she is not old enough to drink herself. Somebody furnished her alcohol and she wound up dead. That should be a crime.” The Anchorage Police Department timed their report on the Kelly Hunt case with the launch of a new online dashboard that tracks missing persons iAnchorage and the department's homicide clearance rate. Case says the report confirms that Alaska Natives make up a disproportionate share of both missing persons and homicides, but says cases involving both Native and non-Native victims are solved at about the same rate. The Pinyon Plain Mine, as seen from the air in November 2019, is located on the Kaibab National Forest less than 10 miles from the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. (Photo: Ryan Heinsius / KNAU) The company that owns a uranium mine near the Grand Canyon wants Arizona state regulators to approve a higher arsenic level in nearby groundwater. KNAU's Chris Clements reports at least two scientists oppose the idea. Brad Esser used to work for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He was asked by a nonprofit that opposes Energy Fuels' Pinyon Plain Mine mine to look into the request. “It sets the wrong incentive. You know, the response to high levels … is to try to understand what’s going on, not just simply raise the permit levels.” But Energy Fuels says the higher arsenic levels are naturally occurring in groundwater near the mine, and are not because of mining activity. Curtis Moore is a company executive. “It’s not surprising that there are elevated levels of arsenic next to this ore body. That’s why we put a mine there, because there’s an ore body there.” But Esser and another scientist argue it is more likely the mine is contributing to the high levels. “They think the mine's ventilation shafts could be creating oxygen-rich groundwater, causing arsenic minerals to dissolve. If that's true, Esser worries arsenic could one day reach the Havasuapi Tribe's key source of drinking water.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

Nick Reiner has a documented history of schizoaffective disorder. He was previously placed under a conservatorship. He's now facing two counts of first-degree murder with death penalty eligibility for the alleged stabbing deaths of his parents Rob and Michele Reiner in their Brentwood home. And every signal from the early proceedings suggests a mental health defense isn't just possible — it may be the only path his legal team has.This week's review brings together the most significant Reiner case conversations — the legal strategy taking shape, the family dynamics exposed since the arrest, and the expert analysis of where this case is headed.Eric Faddis — criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor who has navigated mental health defenses from both sides of the courtroom — breaks down what Nick's psychiatric history means for the legal proceedings. Schizoaffective disorder, a prior conservatorship, and the single-word courtroom appearance all point in the same direction. Faddis examines what the defense is likely building, what the prosecution has to prove to maintain death penalty eligibility against a defendant with that record, and why the incomplete autopsies are stalling both sides.The Medical Examiner hasn't finished documenting the injuries inflicted on Rob and Michele — more than four months later. The September court date isn't a preliminary hearing. It's a hearing to set the preliminary hearing. The case hasn't even started, and the family is already fracturing under the weight of it.Jake Reiner published an essay about his parents that reached tens of thousands of people — grief so specific and personal it cut through every headline. The Reiner siblings have severed all ties with Nick. Sources say they refer to him in terms that leave no ambiguity about their feelings. And yet they are opposing the death penalty — honoring their father's lifelong conviction against capital punishment even as they navigate the aftermath of his alleged murder. Nick, meanwhile, has reportedly expressed interest in writing a book about his parents. The distance between those two responses — Jake's love made public and Nick's alleged grievance — is the emotional center of everything this case has become.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Seven-year-old Athena Strand should have been safe at home.Instead, on November 30, 2022, she vanished from outside her father's property in Paradise, Texas after a FedEx delivery driver came to the home. What followed became one of the most haunting child murder cases in recent memory — a case that would ultimately lead to the arrest, conviction, and death sentence of Tanner Horner.In this episode, I walk through the timeline of Athena's disappearance, the search efforts that gripped the community, the disturbing evidence shown during the capital murder sentencing trial, and the heartbreaking testimony from the people who loved Athena most.Portions of audio featured in this episode come directly from the live trial proceedings, including testimony from Maitlyn Gandy and the Medical Examiner.Listener discretion is strongly advised.

The legal system has a schedule. Grief doesn't. That gap is the story of the Reiner case right now. At his most recent hearing, Nick Reiner said one word, the judge pushed the case to September, and the family that lost Rob and Michele Reiner was told — again — to wait. The autopsy reports aren't finished. The defense needs more discovery. The prosecution needs the Medical Examiner's findings. Nobody's ready. And the preliminary hearing that will determine if this case even goes to trial is still months away from being scheduled.But the people inside this case can't press pause. Jake Reiner published an essay that laid bare what this loss actually looks like from the inside — the phone call, the Lyft ride, the stolen milestones, the unconditional love, the fear his parents must have felt. Tens of thousands of people read it. Jake wrote it because a grief expert told him it might help. His upcoming birthday will be his first without his parents. His sister Romy hasn't spoken publicly — Jake said she'll tell her story in her own way and in her own time.And while the family processes what may be the most public grief in America right now, sources say Nick is reportedly planning a revenge tell-all from behind bars — allegedly targeting the family and former friends who've walked away. The same family that, according to sources, is telling prosecutors they oppose the death penalty. Not for Nick's sake. For their father's principles.Tony Brueski breaks down the hearing, the family dynamics, the legal roadblocks, and what happens when a case this devastating moves at a pace the people inside it can't afford. The system has a timeline. The damage is already done.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rob and Michele Reiner were found dead from multiple stab wounds inside their Brentwood home on December 14, 2025. Their son Nick was arrested hours later and has been held without bail at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility ever since, charged with two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances — making him eligible for the death penalty under California law. This week, the case was expected to take its next major step forward at a preliminary hearing. Instead, it was pushed to September 15. The autopsy reports on Rob and Michele remain incomplete — over four months after their deaths. The prosecution told the court those reports are the final piece of evidence the defense is waiting for. Public defender Kimberly Greene, who replaced high-profile attorney Alan Jackson after his withdrawal in January, indicated she anticipates receiving additional discovery. Nick appeared in a yellow jail smock, consulted with Greene, and offered a single-word acknowledgment when asked if he understood his rights. The Medical Examiner's initial findings were released in December and then sealed on December 29 at the LAPD's request. A sealed medical order has been filed. Nick's history — schizoaffective disorder, a court-approved conservatorship from 2020 to 2021, documented struggles with addiction, and a reported altercation with his father at a Christmas party the night before the deaths — hangs over every procedural development. Eric Faddis breaks down the defense strategy behind the delay, the implications of the unfinished autopsy reports, and whether Nick's mental health history makes a competency or insanity defense a certainty or a card Greene is deliberately holding.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Afternoon recap:The medical examiner finishes on the standThe next witness brings in 2 jail calls with Tanner and his mom & Tanner and his grandma. He admits to killing Athena, asks about what they're saying on TV, says he's getting crazy letters in jail. The staff hates him mostly, inmates are looking at him, he cries about his son, whines about jail, and asking non-stop to call Cassie's dad and ask  to have her call him - he hasn't heard from her. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pretty-lies-and-alibis--4447192/support.ALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout  - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!

She allegedly poisoned her husband for the money. The forensic accountant just showed the jury exactly how desperate that financial situation was.Brooke Karrington—a thirty-year expert who reviewed hundreds of thousands of documents—testified that by March 2022, Kouri Richins carried $7.5 million in debt. Monthly payments totaled $80,000. Four payday lenders collected $2,100 from her daily. Her business account was "perpetually in the hole." December 2021 recorded 77 overdraft transactions. She was writing checks to herself that bounced.One day after Eric Richins died, Kouri purchased a $2.9 million mansion in Midway, Utah. Seven days later, she listed it for sale. It foreclosed. The $1.35 million she collected from Eric's life insurance policies was entirely spent within three months. By September 2022, records show she had roughly $800 left.The defense argues the financial evidence is speculative and proves nothing about murder. But their cross-examination may have accomplished something more significant: exposing an investigation they say was outcome-driven from the start.Dr. Erik Christensen admitted tests that could have determined whether Eric was a long-term fentanyl user—urine, eye fluid, liver tissue, hair follicles—were never performed. Carmen Lauber admitted testing positive for methamphetamine, changing her story after immunity deals, and being told by a detective that "the goal is to convict Kouri for aggravated murder."The kitchen and basement were never searched the night Eric died. The copperware used for the Moscow Mules was never tested. An empty hydrocodone bottle in Eric's nightstand was never analyzed. Investigators only returned for certain items after a private investigator flagged them.The defense has 35 witnesses waiting. Did they peak too early—or are they just getting started?Kouri Richins is presumed innocent until proven guilty.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This is our Week in Review of the Kouri Richins murder trial—and one fact may matter more than everything else the jury has heard.Four years after Eric Richins died with fentanyl in his system, the state's own former Chief Medical Examiner still lists his manner of death as "undetermined." Not homicide. The prosecution is asking a jury to convict Kouri Richins of murder when their own medical expert won't call it one.The problems don't stop there. Carmen Lauber, the housekeeper who testified she bought fentanyl for Kouri four times, was using methamphetamine during the relevant period. She received immunity from three jurisdictions before taking the stand. Her supplier Robert Crozier originally told detectives he sold fentanyl—then testified under oath that he only sold oxycodone because "everybody was scared of fentanyl." When your two key witnesses can't agree on what the drugs were, the case has a credibility crisis.Former FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke assesses what's actually happening in that courtroom. After 21 years with the Bureau, including running the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, Dreeke separates truth from performance. He reads Lauber's testimony, Crozier's contradiction, and Kouri's composure through five days of prosecution evidence.Defense attorney Bob Motta identifies what the prosecution still hasn't proven: what drugs Carmen actually obtained, how fentanyl got into Eric, and whether Kouri administered it. He analyzes the nine-minute phone call to the medical examiner's office—consciousness of guilt or a widow seeking answers? And he flags the Seroquel in Eric's system that neither side is emphasizing.The state has established fentanyl in Eric's system, Kouri's financial problems, and her boyfriend. But establishing motive isn't the same as proving murder.Kouri Richins is presumed innocent until proven guilty.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What happens when a body arrives at a hospital morgue without any record of how it got there? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro examine a disturbing class of real-world cases involving unidentified bodies that appear in hospital morgues with no paperwork, no chain of custody, and no clear explanation. The episode begins with a firsthand email from a night-shift worker who briefly stepped away from an empty morgue—only to return to find a body placed neatly in the room, as if it had always belonged there. From that moment, the discussion expands into documented incidents across U.S. hospitals and medical examiner offices, where decedents entered official custody before they technically existed in the system. Drawing on acknowledged cases in California and Illinois, professional standards from the National Association of Medical Examiners, and historical precedent, Kat and Jethro explore how modern medical systems quietly normalize these unexplained arrivals by assigning case numbers and moving forward—without ever addressing the moment something appeared where nothing had been before. The episode then shifts to a seemingly unrelated but deeply connected subject: how human societies remember lives at all. Long before databases and paperwork, entire civilizations relied on living memory. Kat and Jethro explore the tradition of griots and other oral historians across West Africa, Europe, the Americas, and Asia—individuals entrusted with preserving genealogies, histories, and identities entirely through story, music, and performance. Backed by neuroscience research, the episode examines why rhythm and narrative are so effective at preserving memory, even when written records fail. Together, these two topics form a quiet, unsettling question at the heart of the episode: what happens when systems designed to document human existence fall short—and who remembers us when they do? Grounded in documented cases, historical tradition, and modern science, this episode blends true mystery with cultural insight, revealing how bodies can arrive without histories, and histories can survive without bodies.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/pcKCBvbOlhE  In Day 2 of testimony in the Kouri Richins Trial, the jury heard from key witnesses, including the Medical Examiner, who laid out crucial forensic evidence regarding the death of Eric Richins. The Medical Examiner testified that Eric Richards' cause of death was drug intoxication by fentanyl (fentanyl poisoning/overdose). His system contained a toxic level of fentanyl and norfentanyl, despite no history of abuse. Due to the ongoing investigation at the time she concluded her report (prior to her retirement), the Medical Examiner ruled the manner of death as undetermined. The ME's testimony concluded, setting the stage for a toxicologist to take the stand to elaborate on the concentration of drugs and the critical difference between stomach contents and blood levels—which will be vital for establishing a timeline of ingestion and death. Tomorrow, we expect the cross-examination of the CSI witness.

A woman in Michigan dropped off a bag of donations at Goodwill, and nestled inside a shirt — right there between the old blouses and the coffee mugs — was an actual human skull, and somehow the weirdest part is that Goodwill and the medical examiner can't agree on whether it's real.Officer T. Gilbreath of the Chelsea Police Department is handling the case.
