Criminal MischiefEpisode 3: The Pike County Massacre — Judgment Day After nearly a decade of investigation, courtroom battles, and shocking family betrayals, the Pike County Massacre finally reaches its conclusion. In the final chapter of Carolyn Ossorio's exhaustive investigation into one of the most disturbing family murder conspiracies in American history, the Wagners begin turning on one another. Plea agreements are negotiated behind closed doors. Testimony once thought impossible becomes the prosecution's most devastating weapon. Parents testify against children. Sons testify against mothers. The carefully constructed image of an ordinary Ohio farming family collapses under the weight of its own lies. Carolyn follows every major development—from the strategic deals that unraveled the Wagner family's defense, through the emotional courtroom testimony that revealed how eight members of the Rhoden family were systematically hunted and executed, to the convictions and sentences that finally brought a measure of justice to Pike County. But this episode isn't simply about guilty verdicts. It's about obsession disguised as love, control masquerading as family loyalty, and the devastating consequences of a belief that one family had the right to decide another family's future. Carolyn also explores the lingering questions that remain, the emotional scars carried by the survivors, and why the Pike County Massacre continues to haunt investigators, prosecutors, and the community that lived through one of the largest homicide investigations in Ohio history. After weeks of exclusive interviews, meticulous reporting, and thousands of pages of court records, Criminal Mischief concludes its definitive examination of the Pike County Massacre. Justice may have finally arrived—but some wounds never truly heal. New episodes of Criminal Mischief are available wherever you listen to podcasts.

Series: Summer in the Psalms Speaker: Frank Seawright Scripture: Psalm 6 Main Idea: God is our hope even when we are unaware of his presence.

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.

 It sounds like a legal thriller, but it's real. Rex Heuermann confessed to eight murders during family sessions run by a woman with no license to be in the room, and now that detail might give his defense something to work with. Legal analyst Eric Faddis lays out the theory: Heuermann may have pled guilty in large part to spare his ex-wife and daughter from testifying about that confession, and if the confession itself was obtained through a fraudulent setup, the reasoning behind the plea could be challenged.Faddis is careful to note this wouldn't be an easy win. Undoing a guilty plea is far harder than winning an appeal after a trial verdict, but he calls it a creative avenue worth watching. From there, the conversation turns to privilege. Does confidentiality still protect conversations with someone who wasn't actually a licensed therapist? Faddis breaks down both sides of that fight, the government likely arguing the protection only covers real clinicians, the defense arguing it protects the patient regardless of the other person's paperwork.We also dig into the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine, and why it probably doesn't apply here since Winter wasn't a government employee acting on the state's behalf. Every time this case looks buttoned up, a new thread pulls it back open, and this might be one of the more consequential ones yet.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rex Heuermann confessed to eight murders in front of his ex-wife and daughter, in sessions run by a counselor who had no legal right to be there. Legal analyst Eric Faddis returns to dig deeper into what that could mean for Heuermann's case going forward, starting with the theory that could actually carry weight on appeal: did he plead guilty specifically to keep his family off the witness stand, and if the confession that drove that decision came from a deceptive setup, does the entire foundation of the plea come into question.Faddis is upfront that this wouldn't be a straightforward path to overturning anything, but calls it a genuinely creative legal theory worth tracking. We also dig into the privilege fight directly, whether confidentiality still applies to sessions with someone who wasn't actually a licensed therapist, and how a court might weigh the patient's expectation of privacy against the fact that the person on the other side of the room had no real credentials.From there, Faddis addresses the HIPAA question and whether any of Heuermann's statements to Winter could now become fair game for further investigation. We also walk through why the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine likely doesn't apply here, since Winter was acting as a private individual, not a government agent. This continues to be one of the strangest threads in the entire case, and it isn't finished unraveling.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

It's been a tense day at Tauranga Hospital as medical registrar's faced the prospect of more than a quarter of their staff away over the long weekend. A doctor issued a plea on social media calling for anyone familiar with the hospital to come in and help as a medical registrar over Saturday and Sunday. Finn Blackwell has more.

The distinction matters. Rex Heuermann's defense attorney characterized the plea as a "calculated pivot," and the structure of the agreement supports that reading. This look back examines the plea not as a moment of reckoning but as a strategic act — and assesses what Heuermann secured in the process.Every pre-trial motion had failed: the DNA challenge, the motion for separate trials, the omnibus motion. Trial was months away with no viable defense remaining. The plea agreement encompasses seven murder convictions and an admission to an eighth killing — Karen Vergata, whom Heuermann was never separately charged with killing. Her case was raised by the defense during a confidential session and incorporated into the deal, foreclosing separate prosecution. The agreement reportedly bars further charges related to all eight named victims. The FBI cooperation requirement, while included, reportedly carries no enforceable consequences for non-compliance.The DA's office has acknowledged it is reviewing hundreds of cold cases across Suffolk County. Heuermann's attorney maintains there are no additional victims. The segment also addresses the psychological dimension through psychotherapist Shavaun Scott's examination of Asa Ellerup — the ex-wife who, according to a documentary, returned to the basement of the home where the crimes were committed. Scott's analysis frames her behavior not as evidence of complicity but as a manifestation of profound psychological conditioning shaped by a documented history of trauma. We revisit where the matter stood at the time of our reporting, distinguishing the legal record from the behavioral interpretation.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

 During a confidential session before the plea, Rex Heuermann brought up Karen Vergata — a woman he was never charged with killing. Her case was folded into the agreement. No separate prosecution. No public presentation of the evidence against him in her death. This look back examines a plea that wasn't just about admitting guilt — it was about controlling what came out and what stayed buried.The defense attorney called it a calculated pivot. Every pre-trial motion had failed. The DNA was admissible. The charges would be tried together. There was no path to acquittal. But the plea agreement reportedly bars further prosecution related to all eight named victims and includes a cooperation agreement with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit that, according to reporting, carries no enforceable consequences if Heuermann refuses or lies. For a man who spent decades organizing his crimes into checklists and phases, the plea reads less like surrender and more like one last piece of planning.The DA's office has acknowledged it is reviewing hundreds of cold cases across Suffolk County. Heuermann's attorney insists there are no additional victims. The families packed the courtroom — some weeping as he described how he met, strangled, and disposed of each woman. His ex-wife Asa spoke afterward, directing her thoughts to the victims' families. Heuermann is expected to be sentenced to three consecutive life terms plus an additional hundred years. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting. The question that won't go away is whether a man who planned everything planned his exit too.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A guilty plea to seven counts of murder, with an admission to an eighth, establishes the underlying facts for purposes of civil litigation. This look back, with defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis, examines the wrongful death lawsuit filed in the wake of Rex Heuermann's plea and what it means for his family's legal exposure.The suit, filed by the son of victim Valerie Mack, names Asa Ellerup and their daughter Victoria Heuermann as defendants, alleging the family profited from a documentary and demonstrated disregard for the victims. Counsel for Ellerup has characterized the claims as reckless. Faddis analyzes the legal theory — what a wrongful death action requires, how the guilty plea alters the evidentiary landscape in civil proceedings, and where the line falls between proximity to a convicted offender and actionable legal liability. He addresses whether the allegations as currently framed are likely to survive initial legal challenges.The segment also examines the plea agreement itself. Heuermann's attorney described the guilty plea as a "sense of relief" for his client — language that behavioral analysts read very differently than the general public might. Retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke assesses what that framing reveals about the defendant's psychological relationship to his crimes, and what the FBI cooperation requirement — part of the plea agreement — is designed to produce. Heuermann confirmed strangulation as the cause of death for each victim and is expected to be sentenced to three consecutive life terms plus an additional hundred years.

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Harrison Garlick welcomes Dr. Alex Priou to discuss Book 22 of the Odyssey, the Slaughter of the Suitors.Check out our LIBRARY of written guides to the Great Books.Check out Dr. Priou's new Substack: The Close Read.What happens in Book 22?Odysseus stands at the threshold of his home, cries out to Apollo, and lets loose an arrow straight through the neck of Antinous (22.15). Chaos erupts in the hall as bread and meats are soaked in a swirl of bloody filth (22.21). Eurymachus attempts to broker a truce with Odysseus, but it is rejected (22.57); he then calls the suitors to arms and is slaughtered (22.73). Telemachus brings armor and weapons to his father, the swineherd, and the cowherd (22.121), but the goatherd sneaks weapons to the suitors (22.151).On his second run, the cowherd and swineherd intercept the goatherd, tie him up, and hang him from the rafters (22.196). Athena first arrives in the guise of Mentor (22.217) and then perches like a sparrow on the rafters, assisting Odysseus with her man-destroying shield of thunder (22.250). The suitors fall into panicked madness as Odysseus and his men wheel into the slaughter, slashing left and right, with grisly screams breaking from cracked skulls and the floor awash with blood (22.311).Odysseus spares the bard and the herald but shows no mercy to the prophet (22.327). The slaughter complete, Eurycleia summons the disloyal female servants, who help carry out the corpses and clean the gore (22.458–471). Telemachus oversees the disloyal women being slowly hanged in the courtyard—a pitiful, ghastly death (22.487)—while the goatherd is retrieved and mutilated to death by the swineherd and cowherd (22.500). Odysseus purifies his home with fire and brimstone (22.518), and the book ends with the loyal maidservants surrounding their king as he breaks down and weeps (22.528).Chapters:00:00 Introduction to the Great Books Podcast04:40 Exploring the Odyssey: Book 22 Overview06:58 The Role of the Gods in the Odyssey09:55 Justice and Revenge in the Slaughter of the Suitors12:54 Imagery of Food and Gore in Homer14:49 The Cyclops Narrative and Guest Friendship18:51 Antinous: The First Death and Its Implications22:36 The Role of Recognition in Justice25:05 Eurimachus and the Plea for Mercy29:18 Piety and the Restoration of Order32:53 The Political Landscape of Ithaca33:48 Purging and the New Order in Ithaca34:18 The Balance of Power and Leadership Lessons35:24 Pedagogical Journeys: Odysseus and His Men37:39 Divine Endorsement and the Purging of the Unworthy39:35 Odysseus's Transformation: From Arrogance to Understanding41:36 The Role of Recognition in Identity43:08 The Consequences of Identity and Wisdom46:29 The Tragedy of Odysseus and Penelope48:42 Telemachus's Growth and Inexperience53:12 Divine Justice and the Nature of the Fight58:11 The Role of Prophecy and Piety in Justice01:05:23 The Nature of Piety and Accountability01:06:59 Eros and the Path to Ascent01:09:52 Self-Reflection and the Nature of Desire01:13:10 Justice and the Fate of the Maidservants01:23:36 The Consequences of Disloyalty01:30:37 Recognition and Political RuleDiscussion:Dr. Priou and Dcn. Garlick examine the justice of the slaughter, noting that while Antinous dies without recognizing Odysseus, the goatherd Melanthius suffers one of the most gruesome tortures in Homer—strung up and mutilated in language echoing the barbaric king Echetus. They discuss the hanging of the disloyal maidservants, Telemachus's role in their execution, and why such violence may be necessary to purge disloyalty and restore order. Key themes include the restoration of piety, the shift from a decayed oligarchic rule by the suitors to a new natural aristocracy involving loyal servants, Odysseus' pedagogical journey, and the tension between recognition, glory, and the establishment of a stable political regime supported by fear of the gods.Overall, the episode portrays Homer as a profound teacher on the ugly necessities of justice and political founding.The speakers reflect on how the book repudiates certain Iliadic values like vaunting over the slain, emphasizes cleansing and purification, and sets the stage for the final books. Dr. Priou highlights Odysseus's cunning, the limits of rhetoric, and the need to curtail eros for civilized life, while both Dr. Priou and Dcn. Garlick encourage listeners to confront uncomfortable questions about revenge, mercy, and the role of divine and human violence in re-founding a polity.Next week our 12-week study of the Odyssey ends with Books 23-24!

A guilty plea provides certainty — conviction, sentence, finality on the charged cases. It does not provide the full public accounting a trial would have produced. This look back, with criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, examines what Rex Heuermann's plea resolves and what it leaves open.Heuermann pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and four counts of second-degree murder, and admitted to killing an eighth woman as part of the agreement. He confirmed strangulation as the cause of death for each victim. He is expected to be sentenced to three consecutive life terms plus an additional hundred years. The plea eliminates the risk of acquittal but also eliminates the evidentiary presentation, cross-examination, and public testimony that the victims' families were preparing to hear.Motta examines the mechanics of the plea from both sides: what the defense gained by avoiding trial when every pre-trial motion had failed, and what the prosecution secured through the cooperation requirement with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. He addresses the additional cases connected to the Gilgo Beach corridor — victims whose remains were found in the area but who were never charged to Heuermann — and whether the plea agreement and FBI cooperation may produce answers on those cases.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. IDF clashes with Hezbollah in south Lebanon continue, reports Fabian, but on a more limited basis following the recently signed Beirut-Jerusalem framework, in comparison to previous iterations of ceasefires with the Iranian proxy terror group. The IDF targeted and killed a Hamas chief of security in Gaza who commanded a terror cell that raided the Nahal Oz army base and kibbutz on October 7, 2023, notes Fabian. The cell seized the body of tank commander Daniel Perez and took hostage Yotam Haim, Alon Shamriz and Samar Talalka, who later escaped their captors and were accidentally killed in December 2023 by IDF troops in Gaza. Fabian discusses a statement made by IDF chief of staff Eyal Zamir at an assessment on Thursday in which, without citing it explicitly, he takes aim at the government's advancing a Basic Law that would prioritize ultra-Orthodox Torah study over the army's stated need for more personnel as it battles on several fronts.

Rex Heuermann pleaded guilty to seven murders and admitted to an eighth. But the Gilgo Beach investigation extends beyond the charges he faced — additional sets of remains were found in the area over the years, and not all have been connected to Heuermann. This look back, with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, examines what the plea resolves and what it leaves open.The plea agreement requires Heuermann to cooperate with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit — a provision that could produce information the courtroom never would have. Coffindaffer assesses what that cooperation may yield, whether it could lead to additional charges or connections, and how the BAU typically works with convicted offenders who have agreed to participate.The segment also examines the evidentiary foundation that drove the plea. DNA evidence matched through whole genome sequencing — admitted for the first time in a New York proceeding — connected Heuermann to multiple victims. Files recovered from his computer were characterized as a planning document. More than 350 electronic devices were seized. The defense challenged the DNA methodology, moved for separate trials, and lost on both. Heuermann's own daughter publicly stated she believed in his guilt. Coffindaffer reads the plea for what it tells investigators about the remaining open cases and whether the families connected to those cases have reason to expect additional answers. Heuermann is expected to be sentenced to three consecutive life terms plus an additional hundred years.

The not guilty plea entered on Nick Reiner's behalf is one of the most misunderstood moments in this case. Charged with two counts of first-degree murder with a multiple-murder special circumstance in the stabbing deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, he faces a prosecution that has not ruled out seeking the ultimate penalty.Under California procedure, a not guilty plea preserves every defense option while psychiatric evaluation continues. The defense can later pursue legal insanity under the established standard, argue diminished capacity to challenge premeditation and reduce the degree of the offense, or raise the question of competency to proceed. Each carries different evidentiary burdens and different consequences — and the defendant's documented diagnosis and recent medication change are central to all three.This retrospective lays out where the matter stood at the time of our reporting: the procedural posture, the competing legal theories, and the analysis from those who've tried cases like it. It also examines the position of the surviving family members, who hold formal standing as next of kin while simultaneously being related to the accused — a rare and legally complex circumstance. Reporting indicates the siblings have stated their opposition to capital punishment, though prosecutors retain discretion over that decision.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The forensic chain that ultimately produced Rex Heuermann's guilty plea began with a pizza crust recovered during surveillance — and ended with whole genome sequencing admitted in a New York courtroom for the first time. This look back, with defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis, examines the evidentiary architecture that made the case unwinnable and the two pre-trial rulings that the defense attorney himself identified as decisive.The prosecution held DNA linkage across multiple crime scenes, established through a technology never before admitted in the jurisdiction. It also held a deleted Word document recovered from Heuermann's hard drive, described as a planning document for the killings. More than 350 electronic devices were seized, with deleted files recovered from unallocated hard drive space. The defense challenged the DNA methodology through a Frye hearing but did not challenge the planning document. When the judge admitted the DNA and denied the motion for separate trials, the defense's path to acquittal effectively closed.Heuermann pleaded guilty on April 8, 2026, to three counts of first-degree murder and four counts of second-degree murder, and admitted to killing an eighth woman as part of the agreement. He confirmed strangulation as the cause of death for each victim. He is expected to be sentenced to three consecutive life terms plus an additional hundred years, and has agreed to cooperate with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. Faddis analyzes the plea structure, the sentencing exposure, and the legal significance of the FBI cooperation requirement.

When Nick Reiner's public defender entered a not guilty plea to two counts of first-degree murder, it sounded like a denial. It wasn't. Under California law, that plea is a strategic placeholder — and understanding why reveals exactly where this case is headed.He's charged in the stabbing deaths of his parents, director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, with a special-circumstance allegation that makes the case eligible for the ultimate penalty. But the defense is sitting on a documented history: a schizophrenia diagnosis, a years-long conservatorship, and a medication change made roughly a month before the killings. That history points to three possible roads — and each one leads somewhere very different.This retrospective breaks down where things stood at the time of our reporting: the legal mechanics behind the plea, what the experts said about each defense path, and why the strongest one may not be the one the headlines assumed. Then we turn to the family. Jake, Romy, and Tracy Reiner aren't just grieving — they're victims, mourners, and the family of the accused, all at once. Romy is the one who found their father.Sources say the siblings have severed contact entirely. Sources also say they're opposing the harshest possible outcome for the brother they've cut off — a decision that says everything about what they're carrying.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

People who waited decades for answers in the Gilgo Beach case got a plea hearing instead of a trial. Rex Heuermann stood in a Riverhead courtroom, answered the prosecutor's questions without emotion, and said one word when asked how he killed eight women: "Strangulation." Victims' families packed the gallery, weeping as the man who had maintained his innocence for nearly three years finally admitted to what he'd done. This look back, with defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis, examines what that plea provides — and what it takes away.A plea gives certainty. It gives a sentence — three consecutive life terms plus an additional hundred years expected. It eliminates the risk of acquittal. But it also eliminates the trial: the testimony, the cross-examination, the full public accounting of what happened to each woman. Some families wanted that. Some needed it. The plea agreement also requires Heuermann to cooperate with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, which may produce answers the courtroom never would have.Faddis walks through what drove the plea from the defense side — the two pre-trial rulings that the defense attorney himself identified as the turning point: DNA evidence admitted, separate trials denied. He examines what leverage remained after those rulings and whether the defense could have gained anything more at sentencing. Heuermann pleaded guilty to seven murders and admitted to an eighth. His ex-wife told reporters her thoughts were with the victims' families.
