The Sarah Grace Patrick murder trial begins January 5th in Carroll County, Georgia. She's seventeen years old, charged with killing her mother Kristin and stepfather James Brock in their sleep. Her little sister—five years old at the time—discovered the bodies. Sarah made the 911 call. Then came the TikToks, the outreach to true crime creators, the eulogy that made investigators uncomfortable. Five months later, she was in handcuffs. Prosecutors say they have "mountains of evidence." Her grandfather says nobody has put the gun in her hand.In Los Angeles, musician D4VD remains silent while a grand jury hears witness after witness in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Her body was found in the trunk of his Tesla after sitting there for over a month in summer heat. Inside his Hollywood rental, investigators found a chainsaw never removed from its protective sheath and a burn cage incinerator still in the box. PI Steve Fischer says the plan got upended. The cause of death is still officially deferred. But prosecutor Beth Silverman is pushing forward—and the people in D4VD's orbit are starting to feel the pressure. His manager testified for days. A witness skipped her appearance and now faces a body attachment. Properties have been transferred. Everything has gone dark.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down both investigations—what the evidence actually shows, what's missing, and how prosecutors build cases when the physical evidence is thin but the behavior speaks volumes.#SarahGracePatrick #D4VDCase #CelesteRivasHernandez #FBIAgent #TrueCrimePodcast #MurderInvestigation #GrandJuryTestimony #CarrollCountyGeorgia #CriminalJustice #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Defense attorney Bob Motta joins Hidden Killers to break down the seven-month delay in the Sarah Grace Patrick murder trial—and what that delay may reveal about the prosecution's case.Patrick, 17, is charged as an adult with two counts of murder in the shooting deaths of her mother, Kristin Brock, and stepfather, James Brock, inside their Carroll County, Georgia home. The couple was found shot in their bed on February 20, 2025. Their young daughter discovered the bodies. Sarah made the 911 call. Five months later, she was arrested after the Carroll County Sheriff's Office announced it had “mountains of evidence” against her.The trial was scheduled to begin January 5, 2026. It did not.Instead, Judge Dustin Hightower continued the case to August 3, 2026, after prosecutors told the court they needed additional time to review a defense neuropsychologist's evaluation and potentially retain their own expert to rebut it. Notably, the judge had anticipated this possibility weeks earlier, instructing the state in December to alert the court if it would need a continuance.That context matters. The defense previously sought its own continuance, citing incomplete discovery. That request was denied after the court ruled the state was in compliance. When the prosecution asked for more time, however, it was granted a seven-month delay.Motta examines what this procedural imbalance may signal about the strength of the state's case. To date, no murder weapon has been produced. No firearm was recovered at the scene. No forensic evidence linking Sarah to the shootings has been publicly disclosed. Prosecutors have alleged in filings that home security cameras were disabled prior to the shootings—but those claims remain unproven allegations, not established facts.We also discuss the powerful social-media narrative that has developed around this case and whether a teenager's TikTok activity can—or should—be treated as evidence of homicide. Finally, Motta outlines what both sides will be preparing for as the case now heads toward its August 2026 trial setting.#SarahGracePatrick #BobMotta #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #TrialDelay #CriminalDefense #CarrollCounty #KristinBrock #JamesBrockJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two cases. Two teenagers. Two very different paths through the justice system—both now marked by delay and uncertainty.Seventeen-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick was expected to head toward trial in Carroll County, Georgia, accused of killing her mother, Kristin, and stepfather, James Brock, while they slept in their home. Instead, her case has been delayed—prolonging questions that have lingered for months.Sarah's five-year-old sister discovered the bodies. Sarah made the 911 call. In the months that followed, she posted emotional TikToks, contacted true-crime creators, and delivered a funeral eulogy investigators later described as “odd.” After five months, she was arrested. Prosecutors claim they have “mountains of physical and digital evidence.” But publicly available details remain limited: no confirmed murder weapon, no disclosed motive, and no forensic evidence released that definitively places the gun in Sarah's hand. Even her grandfather—who lost his daughter in this case—has said the evidence he's seen does not answer that central question.Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, the grand jury investigation involving D4VD continues behind closed doors, with witnesses expected through February. Investigators recovered a chainsaw that appears unused, a burn-cage incinerator still unopened, and a Tesla left parked on a residential street for weeks—containing the decomposing body of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Her cause of death remains officially listed as “deferred,” but prosecutors are actively building a case.Los Angeles prosecutor Beth Silverman is pressing forward as pressure mounts around D4VD's inner circle. His manager testified before the grand jury for days. A key female witness failed to appear and now faces a body attachment order. Properties have reportedly been transferred. Tours canceled. Projects paused. And D4VD himself has gone silent.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to break down what investigators are actually seeing in both cases—the evidence that exists, the evidence that doesn't, and what it means when prosecutors move forward with circumstantial cases involving teenagers while timelines stretch and public scrutiny intensifies.This isn't about social media narratives. It's about what prosecutors believe they can prove—and what juries may eventually be asked to decide.#SarahGracePatrick #D4VD #CelesteRivas #JenniferCoffindaffer #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #GrandJury #FBIAnalysis #CriminalCasesJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this Tuesday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers political fallout from Minnesota's massive Medicaid fraud scandal, disciplinary action against Senator Mark Kelly for seditious conduct, explosive courtroom revelations from Nicolás Maduro's arraignment, rising global instability tied to Trump's Venezuela decision, and new intelligence warnings involving China, Iran, Germany, and America's food supply. He closes with encouraging medical research on immune health and cancer prevention. Tim Walz Forced Out as Minnesota Fraud Probe Explodes: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced he is dropping his reelection bid after becoming a liability to Democrats over the nine billion dollar Somali Medicaid fraud scandal. Federal investigators are now probing what Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison knew and when, after state whistleblowers warned in 2018 that fraud at Feeding Our Future was obvious before any money was paid. Despite those warnings, hundreds of millions flowed to Somali nonprofits that later donated to Democratic campaigns. Prosecutors admit the fraud is so widespread that many participants may never face charges due to limited resources. Hilton Refuses to House DHS and ICE Officers: A Hilton franchise owner in Minneapolis refused rooms to DHS and ICE agents participating in an immigration crackdown, saying the hotel would not assist deportations. Corporate Hilton had not responded at the time of recording. Bryan urges listeners to remember this incident when choosing where to spend their travel dollars. Mark Kelly Punished for Seditious Conduct: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reduced Senator Mark Kelly's military retirement rank and pay after Kelly called on service members to refuse illegal orders from President Trump but could not identify any such orders. Hegseth said Kelly's actions constituted reckless misconduct and confirmed investigators are evaluating whether Kelly could be recalled to active duty for prosecution under military law. Maduro Pleads Not Guilty as Indictment Stuns: Former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro pleaded not guilty in Manhattan, declaring himself innocent and still the legitimate leader of Venezuela. Federal prosecutors released a detailed indictment outlining twenty-five years of cocaine trafficking, kidnappings, beatings, and murders ordered by Maduro and his family. His vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, vowed to resist the United States and declared Maduro a hostage, while Marxist guerrilla groups threatened attacks on Americans. Trump's Venezuela Decision Sends Shockwaves: The Wall Street Journal reports that President Trump repeatedly tried to negotiate Maduro's peaceful exit before losing patience after public taunts. His decision to authorize the capture has rattled regimes worldwide, including Iran. Reuters reports Iranian officials now fear Trump will act decisively if protests escalate, prompting the Ayatollah to quietly prepare escape plans to Russia along with billions in assets. China's Espionage Footprint Near U.S. Bases: A Chinese intelligence-linked individual owns two golf courses near Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, home to America's nuclear bomber force. Chinese media openly described the courses as networking hubs for U.S. political and business elites. Bryan warns that such properties create serious espionage and sabotage risks, similar to a Chinese-owned trailer park near Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. Threats to America's Food Supply: A new screwworm outbreak in Mexico threatens U.S. cattle just as Brazil reduces its breeding herd and America's cattle numbers hit historic lows. Bryan warns beef prices are likely to remain high for several years and advises listeners to stock freezers when possible. Left Wing Terrorism Returns in Germany: German officials warn left-wing terrorism is intensifying after radicals sabotaged power infrastructure in Berlin and Brandenburg, cutting electricity to forty-five thousand people. The attackers vowed to escalate assaults on oil and gas infrastructure nationwide. Promising Medical Research: German researchers found that supplementing with 1,000 milligrams of Urolithin A for 28 days significantly rejuvenated aging immune systems by restoring mitochondrial function. UK scientists also reported that ten minutes of intense daily exercise can slow or reverse colon cancer growth by triggering DNA repair and reducing inflammation.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: January 6 Wright Report, Tim Walz Medicaid fraud Minnesota, Feeding Our Future whistleblower Ellison, Hilton refuses ICE DHS rooms, Mark Kelly retirement demotion Hegseth, Maduro indictment Manhattan drug trafficking, Delcy Rodríguez resistance, Trump Venezuela decision global impact, China espionage Barksdale Air Force Base, screwworm outbreak beef prices, Germany left wing terrorism infrastructure attack, Urolithin A immune system study, exercise colon cancer DNA repair

In this episode of Pretty Lies & Alibis, we break down the disturbing backstory behind the upcoming trial of Brendan Banfield, a former federal investigator accused of orchestrating the murders of his wife, Christine Banfield, and a man named Joseph Ryan inside their Fairfax County, Virginia home.Prosecutors allege Banfield carried out the killings with the help of the family's live-in au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, with whom he was having an affair. According to the state, the pair used an online fetish website and encrypted messaging to lure Ryan to the home under the guise of a consensual encounter — a plan that allegedly ended in murder and a staged crime scene.This episode covers:The alleged affair and digital trailClaims of long-term planningWhat happened the morning of the murdersConflicting detective theoriesJuliana's plea deal and cooperationInternal police disputes and prosecutorial issuesWhat to watch for as the trial beginsBrendan Banfield has pleaded not guilty and faces life in prison without parole if convicted. Jury selection is expected to begin January 12, and this case is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched trials of the year.

The trial everyone's waiting for is finally coming. January 2026. Cameras in the courtroom. And a case that sounds like it was ripped from a crime novel.Brendan Banfield — a former IRS criminal investigative agent — is charged with four counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of his wife Christine Banfield and a man named Joseph Ryan. Prosecutors allege Banfield orchestrated an elaborate scheme with the family's Brazilian au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, to murder Christine and frame Ryan as her attacker.According to the prosecution, Banfield created a fake profile on FetLife using Christine's photo — without her knowledge — and lured Ryan to their Herndon, Virginia home for what Ryan believed was a consensual sexual encounter. Instead, prosecutors say Ryan was shot and killed, and Christine was stabbed to death by her own husband. The four-year-old daughter was in the basement the entire time.Juliana has pleaded guilty to manslaughter and will testify against Brendan. She claims he planned everything — the fake profile, the gun purchases, even installing sound-canceling windows so neighbors wouldn't hear. But the defense is fighting back hard, pointing to digital forensic evidence they say proves Christine created the FetLife account herself.The lead prosecutor was removed from the case after a drinking incident. Investigators who disagreed with the prosecution's theory were allegedly transferred. And the only person talking is the one who already pled guilty.January 2026. Fairfax County.

The prosecution came out swinging in the Adrian Gonzales trial today. Special prosecutor Bill Turner delivered an emotional opening statement in Corpus Christi, laying out a timeline that showed the former Uvalde school cop allegedly knew exactly where the gunman was — before he even entered Robb Elementary — and failed to act.Turner described how coach Melodye Flores told Gonzales where the shooter was heading. He described the gunman firing into classroom 102. Then 104. Then entering the building. After each moment, Turner repeated: "Adrian Gonzales remains." The prosecutor choked up as he told jurors Gonzales only went inside "after the damage was done."Defense attorneys pushed back hard. Jason Goss told the jury Gonzales thought he was responding to a vehicle accident with an armed man — not a school shooting. Nico LaHood called the massacre "pure evil" but argued his client is being scapegoated for a systemic failure involving nearly 400 officers. The defense says Gonzales was among the first to enter the building and came under fire from gunman Salvador Ramos.Gonzales faces 29 counts of child endangerment. Jury selection took 11 hours. The panel includes 11 women and five men. The trial is expected to last two weeks.#UvaldeTrial #AdrianGonzales #OpeningStatements #RobbElementary #TrueCrime #Uvalde #SchoolShooting #TexasTrial #Justice #BreakingJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sarah Grace Patrick is weeks away from trial, charged with murdering her mother and stepfather in their Carroll County, Georgia home. Prosecutors claim mountains of evidence. But publicly, we've seen TikTok posts, DMs, and an "odd" eulogy. No confirmed weapon. No motive. No physical evidence disclosed.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to analyze what this case actually looks like heading into January. We examine the social media behavior that drew suspicion, the family history buried in court documents, the potential interrogation issues, and whether a six-year-old witness can carry a murder case against her own sister.Is there enough here for a conviction?

Sarah Grace Patrick is headed toward a January trial, accused of killing her mother and stepfather inside their Carroll County, Georgia home. Prosecutors insist the evidence is overwhelming. But what the public has actually seen raises serious questions.There's no confirmed murder weapon. No publicly disclosed physical evidence. No clear motive. What has surfaced are TikTok videos, private messages, and a funeral speech some have labeled unsettling. Online behavior has become part of the narrative—but does that equal proof?Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to strip the emotion out of the headlines and examine what really matters. We break down the social media activity that drew law enforcement attention, the lesser-known family history buried in court filings, potential problems with how statements were obtained, and the extraordinary reliance on testimony from a six-year-old sibling.Is this a solid homicide case moving toward conviction? Or a prosecution leaning heavily on interpretation, optics, and how a teenager processed grief in public?This is a case where perception may be doing as much work as evidence.

Ghislaine Maxwell's arguments about her pretrial attire centered on the claim that forcing her to appear in jail-issued clothing and under restrictive conditions would unfairly prejudice a jury and undermine the presumption of innocence. Her legal team argued that being presented in drab prison garb—often associated in the public mind with guilt—risked subtly signaling criminality before any evidence was heard. They maintained that the Constitution and long-standing trial norms require defendants to appear in civilian clothing so jurors are not influenced by visual cues that suggest incarceration or punishment before conviction.The dispute also exposed the unusually tight controls placed on Maxwell in the lead-up to trial. Her attorneys complained about limits on what clothing she could access, delays and restrictions in obtaining suitable attire, and the broader message those constraints sent to the jury about her status. Prosecutors countered that reasonable security concerns justified the rules in place and that accommodations were made to ensure she could appear in non-custodial clothing. Ultimately, the debate over Maxwell's pretrial attire became another flashpoint in a larger fight over whether she was being treated as a defendant presumed innocent—or as someone already judged guilty before the trial even began.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports on the trial of a former police officer in the Uvalde school shooting that killed 19 students and two teachers.

This Day in Legal History: January 6 InsurrectionOn January 6, 2021, a significant and unprecedented legal and constitutional crisis unfolded in the United States. As a joint session of Congress convened to certify the Electoral College results of the 2020 presidential election, a mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol. The attack followed weeks of false claims about election fraud and a rally earlier that day in which Trump urged his supporters to “fight like hell.” The violent breach forced lawmakers to evacuate, delayed the certification of Joe Biden's victory, and resulted in deaths, injuries, and extensive property damage.Legally, the event triggered a cascade of consequences. Hundreds of participants were arrested and charged with offenses ranging from unlawful entry and assaulting federal officers to seditious conspiracy. High-profile members of far-right groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys were prosecuted, with some leaders convicted of seditious conspiracy, a Civil War-era charge rarely used in modern times. The attack also led to Trump's second impeachment, the first time in U.S. history a president was impeached twice. He was charged with incitement of insurrection, although the Senate ultimately acquitted him.In the broader legal aftermath, January 6 prompted legislative and judicial scrutiny of the Electoral Count Act of 1887, with Congress passing reforms in 2022 to clarify the vice president's limited role in certifying election results. The attack also raised questions about the limits of First Amendment protections when political speech turns into violent action, and about the potential disqualification from office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits insurrectionists from holding public office.Barry Pollack, the U.S. attorney best known for securing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's release deal, is now representing Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro in a high-profile U.S. narcotics case. Maduro, who was captured in a U.S. military operation along with his wife, pleaded not guilty this week in a Manhattan federal court to charges of leading a cocaine trafficking conspiracy involving guerrilla groups and drug cartels. Pollack plans to challenge the legality of Maduro's capture—calling it a “military abduction”—and is also expected to raise arguments about foreign leader immunity.These arguments face steep legal obstacles. The U.S. no longer recognizes Maduro as Venezuela's legitimate president, having rejected the results of his 2018 re-election. Furthermore, U.S. courts have historically been reluctant to dismiss cases based on how a defendant was brought to U.S. soil. Still, Pollack's involvement signals a serious defense strategy grounded in international legal questions and executive immunity claims.Pollack's experience with politically charged and internationally sensitive cases is extensive. He recently helped negotiate Assange's release from a British prison through a plea deal that allowed the WikiLeaks founder to avoid U.S. imprisonment and return to Australia. His track record also includes work on behalf of a former CIA officer and an acquitted Enron executive.Assange's lawyer Barry Pollack to fight Maduro's US narcotics charges | ReutersWith a new Republican majority appointed by President Donald Trump, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is expected to shift sharply away from pro-union policies that defined its recent Democratic era. After nearly a year of paralysis caused by Trump's unprecedented firing of Democrat Gwynne Wilcox—leaving the board without the quorum needed to issue decisions—the Senate confirmed two Republican nominees in December 2025, restoring its ability to act and giving conservatives control of the five-member board for the first time since 2021.Key Biden-era decisions are now vulnerable to rollback. These include expanded union rights such as representation without secret-ballot elections, bans on mandatory anti-union employer meetings, and broader remedies for fired workers. Critics say these moves strayed from precedent; federal courts are reviewing them, but outcomes will vary by jurisdiction unless the Supreme Court weighs in.Union election rules are also likely to change. Under Biden, the NLRB accelerated the election process and made it harder for decertification efforts to proceed—moves unions supported to counter employer delays. Republicans are expected to reverse these rules, potentially making it easier to dissolve existing unions.The board's political independence is also under scrutiny. A court recently upheld Trump's removal of Wilcox, challenging legal protections meant to shield NLRB members from dismissal without cause. If the Supreme Court supports similar arguments in upcoming cases, the NLRB's structural independence could be weakened, raising concerns about politicization and fairness in labor adjudications.Meanwhile, lawsuits by major companies like Amazon and SpaceX are targeting the board's role as both prosecutor and judge in its own cases, claiming constitutional violations. If courts side with these challengers, it could force Congress to restructure the agency—perhaps by limiting its powers or shifting cases to federal courts.NLRB poised for major policy shifts in 2026 with new Trump-appointed majority | ReutersWisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan resigned following her conviction for obstructing the arrest of a migrant in her courtroom, a case that became entangled in broader national tensions over immigration enforcement. Dugan, elected to the Milwaukee County Circuit Court in 2016, was found guilty in December 2025 of helping Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican national facing domestic violence charges, evade U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who were present at the courthouse. She had denied wrongdoing, claiming she followed a courthouse policy requiring staff to notify supervisors of ICE's presence.Her conviction drew sharp criticism from Republican lawmakers, with some calling for impeachment, especially as the Trump administration intensifies efforts to crack down on local interference with federal immigration policy. Dugan had been suspended from her judicial duties during the legal proceedings. Prosecutors framed the case as a warning that public officials are not above the law, highlighting the Justice Department's willingness to pursue charges against judges who obstruct federal enforcement actions.Before serving as a judge, Dugan led a local Catholic Charities chapter that provided refugee resettlement services. Her background and the nature of the charges underscored the ongoing conflict between local protections for immigrants and federal efforts to expand deportations.Wisconsin judge resigns after being convicted of obstructing migrant arrest | ReutersMy column this week is on a novel cruise tax. Hawaii's attempt to expand its transient accommodations tax to include cruise ship passengers hit a temporary roadblock when the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a New Year's Eve stay, pausing enforcement of the new “green fee.” The law, which took effect January 1, aims to place cruise cabins on equal tax footing with hotels by imposing an 11% tax on the portion of a cruise fare linked to overnight stays while docked in Hawaiian ports. Hawaii argues this is a general, nondiscriminatory tax on short-term lodging rather than a fee tied to the ship itself. To bolster its legal case, the state is framing cruise cabins as equivalent to hotel rooms, and emphasizing that the tax is based on services consumed on land, not the ship's movement or port access.The cruise industry, however, contends the tax violates the Constitution's Tonnage Clause, which prohibits states from levying duties on ships for merely entering or staying in port. They've also invoked the Rivers and Harbors Appropriation Act of 1884, which restricts port-related charges not linked to specific services. But Hawaii's defense is that the tax is not about access or vessel status—it is a consumption tax on guests staying overnight, regardless of whether the bed is on land or in a moored ship. The policy avoids targeting ships and instead captures revenue from tourism, aligning maritime and land-based lodging under a consistent legal framework.The Department of Justice has joined the cruise industry's challenge, suggesting the issue's seriousness. If litigation continues, the U.S. Supreme Court may ultimately decide whether this tax model is constitutionally sound. Still, Hawaii's approach—drafting a neutral, consumption-based tax rather than a maritime-specific charge—may serve as a blueprint for other coastal states looking to tap into cruise tourism revenue without triggering constitutional violations.

Sarah Grace Patrick goes to trial January 5th, 2026, charged as an adult with murdering her mother and stepfather. She's seventeen. She's been held without bond since July. Prosecutors have promised mountains of evidence. So what do we actually know heading into trial? Kristin and James Brock were found shot to death in their bed on February 20th, 2025. Their five-year-old daughter discovered the bodies. Sarah called 911. No signs of forced entry. Nothing stolen. One door left ajar. For months after, Sarah posted grief content on TikTok, reached out to true crime creators, and gave a eulogy investigators called suspicious. She allegedly told one content creator the coverage "would be a really big hit." That's the digital evidence that's been made public. What hasn't been disclosed: the murder weapon, a motive, or any physical evidence tying Sarah to the shootings. Her defense says they haven't received full discovery. Her grandfather insists she's innocent. The Brock family says they fear for their lives. Court documents reveal a troubled family history — custody battles, drug allegations, a stepfather on probation for meth offenses, a 2022 accusation that the mother tried to run the stepfather over before they married. And the prosecution's key witness may be a six-year-old child testifying against her own sister. We break down everything publicly known about this case before the trial begins. #SarahGracePatrick #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeToday #CarrollCounty #KristinBrock #JamesBrock #GeorgiaMurder #MurderTrial #CourtTV #TrialWatch Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ ​Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Breaking case update: Ashlee Buzzard has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the killing of her 9-year-old daughter Melodee Buzzard. The criminal complaint alleges Ashlee shot Melodee multiple times in the head with a 9mm handgun, with special allegations of cruelty, viciousness, and lying in wait. Here's what investigators say happened. On October 7th, Ashlee rented a Chevrolet Malibu and left California with Melodee. Surveillance footage captured both wearing wigs — Melodee in a dark, straight-haired wig that looked nothing like her natural curls. Over three days, the car traveled through Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, and Colorado. Ashlee allegedly swapped the plates and backed into gas stations to avoid detection. The last confirmed sighting of Melodee was October 9th near the Colorado-Utah border. Ashlee returned home October 10th without her daughter. She refused to explain where Melodee was. For ten weeks, investigators watched Ashlee while building the case — but couldn't arrest her without proof Melodee was dead. That proof came December 6th when a couple found remains in a remote Utah desert. Ballistic evidence matched a shell casing from Ashlee's home. DNA confirmed the body was Melodee. Ashlee was arrested December 23rd, two days before Christmas. She has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors are seeking life without parole. The murder weapon has not been recovered. No motive has been established. Melodee's paternal grandmother, who hadn't seen her in years, told reporters: "How can you do that to a baby?" #AshleeBuzzard #MelodeeBuzzard #TrueCrimePodcast #CaliforniaCrime #JusticeForMelodee #TrueCrimeAudio #FBI #UtahCrime #Lompoc #HiddenKillers Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The 2007 NPA granted Epstein immunity from federal prosecution, explicitly including “any potential co-conspirators.” However, courts have ruled that this immunity only applied within the jurisdiction of the Southern District of Florida, which negotiated the deal. The Second Circuit Court held that the agreement did not bind other U.S. Attorney's Offices, such as the Southern District of New York (SDNY), where Ghislaine Maxwell was later tried—and upheld her prosecution despite the NPA's language. This is because prosecutors in different districts are not automatically constrained by deals made in Florida.Prosecutors themselves have highlighted the absurdity of a scenario where Epstein could potentially still face prosecution in another district, while his co-conspirators remain untouchable nationwide. In a Supreme Court filing, the Justice Department stressed how logically inconsistent—and legally bizarre—it would be if a defendant could be pursued in District A, but their collaborators remain immune everywhere else due to an out-of-state agreement. The broader principle endorsed by courts is that NPAs do not grant blanket immunity beyond their originating district.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/sdny-rejects-absurd-notion-that-jeffrey-epsteins-non-prosecution-agreement-still-protects-ghislaine-maxwell/

President Donald Trump on Jan. 2 vowed to come to the aid of the opposition in Iran if protesters are killed by the Tehran regime. Several people have already been killed in the Islamic Republic after demonstrations over the nation's ailing economy turned violent, Iranian media and rights groups reported earlier.Prosecutors in Switzerland say sparklers likely caused the fire that left at least 40 people dead on New Year's Eve. Many of the victims were foreigners. Americans were in the alpine town, but it's not yet clear if any are among the victims.

A Georgia teenager is sitting in jail without bond, accused of murdering her mother and stepfather as her 5-year-old sister slept down the hall. Prosecutors say 17-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick left behind “mountains of evidence” in her digital footprint. Supporters insist that Sarah Grace Patrick is a gentle, churchgoing kid who couldn't hurt anyone. Let's examine the killings of Kristin Brock and James Brock, the disturbing crime scene inside their Carrollton home, the online behavior investigators are scrutinizing and why Georgia made the rare decision to charge a 17-year-old as an adult, and how a grand jury moved this case toward trial. What's the psychology behind Sarah's behavior, the danger of misreading grief, and the unsettling truth that for some offenders, violence can feel not traumatic — but exhilarating.#ProfilingEvil #SarahGracePatrick #KristinBrock #JamesBrock #BrockMurders #SarahPatrick #CarrolltonGeorgia #CarrollCountyGA #TyusRoad #CatalystChurch #CourtTV #VinniePolitan #TrueCrime #DigitalFootprint #GrandJuryIndictment #TeenChargedAsAdult #TikTok #CrimeSceneAnalysis #BehavioralAnalysis #TrueCrimeCommunity #InfluencerOutreach #TikTokCrime #CarrollCountySheriffsOffice #JusticeForKristinAndJames20% OFF Newspapers.com https://newspapers.com/profilingevil========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

The Alex Murdaugh case is entering one of its most explosive phases yet. South Carolina prosecutors have filed a massive 182-page brief urging the state supreme court to deny Murdaugh's push for a new trial — even as jury-tampering allegations against former court clerk Becky Hill continue to shake public confidence. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down how the State is framing Hill's alleged misconduct as “foolish and fleeting,” not something that could overturn a double-murder conviction. The prosecution argues that the evidence — the kennel video, the timeline, the lies — was so overwhelming that nothing Hill said could have changed the verdict. But the courtroom battle is only half the story. Tony, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels take listeners deep into Murdaugh's original trial performance, analyzing the psychological theater behind his testimony. From his emphatic denial — “I did not shoot my wife and son” — to the unconscious body language that contradicted him, Murdaugh's time on the stand revealed a man waging a desperate internal war. Nodding while denying guilt. Shifting explanations. A sudden admission he lied about being at the kennels. His “snot-cry” apology to Buster. His attempt to reframe decades of manipulation as addiction-driven paranoia. Was this grief? Guilt? Or the collapse of a lifelong pattern of control? We examine how his financial crimes, betrayals, and compulsive deceit shaped juror perception — and why prosecutors now insist that even if Hill crossed a line, Murdaugh crossed many more. With oral arguments expected this fall and a ruling likely in 2026, the South Carolina Supreme Court must now decide: was Hill's comment a harmless slip… or a judicial crack big enough to break the foundation of a historic conviction? #AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughTrial #MurdaughAppeal #JuryTampering #CourtroomDrama #TrueCrimeAnalysis #HiddenKillers #LegalUpdate #ForensicPsychology  Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Alex Murdaugh case is entering one of its most explosive phases yet. South Carolina prosecutors have filed a massive 182-page brief urging the state supreme court to deny Murdaugh's push for a new trial — even as jury-tampering allegations against former court clerk Becky Hill continue to shake public confidence. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down how the State is framing Hill's alleged misconduct as “foolish and fleeting,” not something that could overturn a double-murder conviction. The prosecution argues that the evidence — the kennel video, the timeline, the lies — was so overwhelming that nothing Hill said could have changed the verdict. But the courtroom battle is only half the story. Tony, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels take listeners deep into Murdaugh's original trial performance, analyzing the psychological theater behind his testimony. From his emphatic denial — “I did not shoot my wife and son” — to the unconscious body language that contradicted him, Murdaugh's time on the stand revealed a man waging a desperate internal war. Nodding while denying guilt. Shifting explanations. A sudden admission he lied about being at the kennels. His “snot-cry” apology to Buster. His attempt to reframe decades of manipulation as addiction-driven paranoia. Was this grief? Guilt? Or the collapse of a lifelong pattern of control? We examine how his financial crimes, betrayals, and compulsive deceit shaped juror perception — and why prosecutors now insist that even if Hill crossed a line, Murdaugh crossed many more. With oral arguments expected this fall and a ruling likely in 2026, the South Carolina Supreme Court must now decide: was Hill's comment a harmless slip… or a judicial crack big enough to break the foundation of a historic conviction? #AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughTrial #MurdaughAppeal #JuryTampering #CourtroomDrama #TrueCrimeAnalysis #HiddenKillers #LegalUpdate #ForensicPsychology  Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The woman who announced Alex Murdaugh's guilty verdict is now wearing handcuffs herself. In one of the most shocking reversals in recent courtroom history, former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill has been charged with obstruction of justice, misconduct in office, and perjury—casting a dark cloud over one of America's most watched murder trials. In this explosive Hidden Killers breakdown, Tony Brueski unpacks how Hill allegedly allowed sealed trial evidence to be photographed, violated multiple court orders, and used her powerful role in the Murdaugh trial to promote her own book, Behind the Doors of Justice. Prosecutors say she lied under oath about leaking evidence. Investigators say she broke the rules she was sworn to uphold. And Murdaugh's defense says this validates everything they've been arguing for a year: the trial wasn't fair. But that's only half the story. Murdaugh's 132-page appeal to the South Carolina Supreme Court claims his double-murder trial was fundamentally compromised—citing Hill's alleged juror influence, flawed forensics, and the admission of six days of unrelated financial-crimes testimony. The defense also points to newly discovered text messages from Curtis “Eddie” Smith that were never turned over. Hill's arrest doesn't prove jury tampering — but it raises enough questions to destabilize confidence in the verdict. The State insists that while Hill's actions were inappropriate, they don't warrant a new trial. The defense says the integrity of the justice system is already shattered. Oral arguments could come this fall, but a ruling may not land until 2026. One thing is certain: Becky Hill's arrest didn't just ignite a scandal—it may have opened the door for Alex Murdaugh's last and most powerful shot at a retrial. #BeckyHill #AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughTrial #MurdaughAppeal #TrueCrimeNews #CourtroomDrama #ObstructionOfJustice #LegalScandal #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this 2025 Year-in-Review Hidden Killers special, we break down two of the most devastating developments in the Donna Adelson trial — the explosive emails prosecutors say reveal her true motives, and the jaw-dropping testimony from her own children and Wendi's ex-boyfriend that shattered the family narrative she's tried to control for more than a decade. First, we examine the emails Donna sent to Wendi during the custody battle, messages prosecutors use to peel back the “sweet grandmother” facade. These emails — strategic, emotional, manipulative — show Donna instructing Wendi how to behave in court, urging her to use psychological tactics, floating a $1 million bribe to Dan Markel, and making relocation “non-negotiable.” As defense attorney Bob Motta explains, emails are powerful because they don't stutter, they don't forget, and they don't rewrite history. They sit in black-and-white, revealing a matriarch prosecutors say was accustomed to controlling every variable. Then we turn to the testimony that rocked the courtroom.  Wendi Adelson, testifying under subpoena and immunity, admitted her mother coached her relentlessly during the divorce and custody battles — everything from religion to courtroom performance. Robert Adelson followed, describing Donna as controlling, intrusive, and disturbingly detached after Dan's murder. He recalled her saying, “I don't know and I don't care,” when asked what she thought happened to Markel. And then came Jeffrey Lacasse, whose testimony lit the courtroom on fire. He recounted Wendi telling him: “The only way I'll ever relocate is if something happens to Danny.”  He also described Charlie discussing “all options,” including hiring a hitman. Prosecutors argue this trio of testimony exposes Donna not as a passive parent, but as the architect of a conspiracy powered by resentment, control, and entitlement — with her own family now delivering the evidence. This is the most revealing window yet into the Adelson family's internal dynamics — a portrait of loyalty cracking under the weight of truth. #DonnaAdelson #WendiAdelson #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #BobMotta #CourtroomDrama #MurderForHire #TrialCoverage #CrimeNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nick Reiner is facing two counts of first-degree murder for allegedly stabbing his parents — legendary director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele — to death in their Brentwood home. His defense attorney is already signaling an insanity plea, pointing to schizophrenia and a medication change weeks before the killings. The narrative being built is that Nick was failed by a broken system. But Nick's own words tell a different story. On the Dopey podcast, Nick admitted to gaming rehab — staying sober just long enough to get out, then going right back to using. He described stealing OxyContin from a sick elderly woman who needed it for pain. His words: "You throw your morals out the window." He spent reportedly seventeen rehab stints manipulating counselors, deceiving his parents, and convincing Rob and Michele that the experts were wrong and he was right. Rob Reiner said exactly that in interviews — that he regretted trusting the professionals over his son. He didn't realize what that trust actually was: successful manipulation by an addict who'd been running the same play since he was fifteen years old. The night before the killings, Rob reportedly told friends at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party: "I'm petrified of Nick. I think my own son can hurt me." By the next afternoon, Rob and Michele were dead. An insanity defense treats this crime like it happened in a vacuum. It didn't. Seventeen years of choices led to that bedroom. Every gamed rehab. Every stolen pill. Every lie. Nick Reiner made those choices. And now his parents are dead. The arraignment is January 7th. Prosecutors haven't decided whether to seek the death penalty. This is accountability — seventeen years late, but finally arriving. #nickreiner  #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #ReinerMurder #TrueCrime #TrueCrime2025 #MurderCase #Hollywood #Accountability #BreakingNews Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ ​Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
