Podcasts about prosecutors

The South Carolina Supreme Court hears oral arguments in Alex Murdaugh's appeal February 11, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. in Columbia. This is the most significant development since his March 2023 conviction for murdering his wife Maggie and son Paul.The appeal centers on two arguments. First, that former Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill tampered with the jury by making comments that could have influenced their verdict. Three jurors testified Hill told them to watch Murdaugh's body language and not be fooled by his testimony. Hill denied wrongdoing — but in December 2025, she pleaded guilty to perjury for lying under oath at the very hearing that evaluated those tampering claims.The Supreme Court has added Hill's conviction to the appellate record. The justices will review jury tampering allegations knowing the court official at the center is a convicted perjurer who lied about her conduct during the trial.The second argument challenges the admission of extensive financial crimes evidence. Prosecutors spent a week presenting testimony about the $8.5 million Murdaugh allegedly stole from clients and his law firm, arguing this created motive. The defense calls this "a trial within a trial" that prejudiced jurors before they considered the murder charges.The state's response, filed before Hill's conviction, called the evidence "overwhelming" and dismissed Hill's conduct as "foolish and fleeting."The court has three options: affirm, reverse for a new trial, or remand for further proceedings. No ruling from the bench. Decisions come later, in writing.Regardless of outcome, Murdaugh remains incarcerated on separate sentences for his financial crimes. This appeal determines whether his murder convictions stand.#AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughCase #MurdaughAppeal #BeckyHill #MaggieAndPaul #JuryTampering #SupremeCourt #MurdaughTrial #Moselle #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the latest batch of Epstein files, hundreds of pages are redacted, shielding the names of prosecutors and possible co-conspirators. On this week's On the Media, what the files say about how the criminal justice system failed Epstein's victims. Plus, the toppling of a statue raises questions about who represents Puerto Rican culture. [01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone speaks with Julie K. Brown, investigative journalist for The Miami Herald, whose reporting back in 2018 led to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's arrest. Brown is pouring through the Epstein files and finding new information about how prosecutors failed to bring Epstein to justice for so many years. She is documenting what she finds in her substack newsletter, The Epstein Files by Julie K. Brown. [19:24]  We're celebrating the launch of Season 3 of La Brega from Alana Casanova-Burgess and Futuro Media by featuring episode one: about the toppling of the statue of a Spanish colonizer in San Juan a few years ago, what that reveals about Puerto Rico's champions, and who deserves that pedestal. Further reading / watching:“What I found today in The Epstein Files,” by Julie K.

The affidavit charging Michaell McKee with aggravated murder in the deaths of Spencer and Monique Tepe has been unsealed. What's inside reads like a chronicle of obsession—surveillance footage, stolen plates, threats spanning years, and digital silence during the murder window.Defense attorney Eric Faddis joins True Crime Today to analyze what this evidence means for both prosecution and defense.Surveillance footage places McKee in the Tepes' yard on December 6th or 7th. Spencer and Monique were in Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship game. That's not presence—that's reconnaissance. Faddis explains how pre-offense surveillance supports prior calculation and design charges.The threat evidence spans nearly a decade. Witnesses told investigators McKee said he could "kill her at any time," would "find her and buy the house right next to her," and that Monique "will always be his wife." Those statements came during and after their marriage. How do prosecutors introduce historical threats—and what challenges will the defense raise?Firearm specifications are unusual. The indictment charges automatic weapon or silencer-equipped firearm in the alternative. Faddis explains what that hedging signals and how it affects sentencing exposure.McKee's phone went silent from December 29th until after noon on December 30th. The murders occurred around 3:50 a.m. How do prosecutors frame digital absence as evidence of planning?Vehicle tracking connected a silver SUV to McKee's address and workplace. That vehicle appeared near the Tepe home displaying stolen plates. After arrest, investigators found fresh scrape marks where a distinctive sticker had been removed.The aggravated burglary charge is telling. No forced entry was found. Prosecutors have a theory about how McKee got inside.McKee pleaded not guilty and waived extradition.

Pulaski County Taxpayers Paid for Prosecuting Attorney Will Jones' Many Trips to "Conferences" with his Married Lover! Also, Trump Feels Sorry for Bill Clinton, Update on Savannah Guthrie's Mom! Show #98! 02052026

This is the courtroom showdown years in the making: the 2012 trial of former Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio against the backdrop of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, still missing.Prosecutors build a case without a single “smoking gun,” leaning on forensic testimony, a re-examined autopsy, and the statements Kathleen and Stacy allegedly made about fear, threats, and what Drew was capable of, evidence allowed under the statute that became publicly known as “Drew's Law.” After days of deliberation, the jury finds Peterson guilty of first-degree murder in September 2012, and he's later sentenced to 38 years. Appeals follow, but the conviction stands—including after the Illinois Supreme Court upholds it in 2017. Then comes another twist: a 2016 conviction for soliciting a murder-for-hire from prison—an alleged plot targeting prosecutor James Glasgow, adding 40 more years. And still, Stacy's case remains open.We appreciate our sponsors that made this episode possible!NMLS 182334, https://nmlsconsumeraccess.org APR for rates in the 5s start at 6.196% for well qualified borrowers.

Then for the second half of 2025, the new version (red) shows much bigger job gains of 345,000 for June through December, than the old version (131,000).

No one in Mexico or Ecuador or Honduras etc live in nations where there is any state persecution of any protected class. It's all fake, all the way down. 2. All non-Mexican illegals have transited through additional countries on the way to America where there are no forms of state persecution, thereby further disproving any hypothetical claim 3. As yet further proof the claims are fake, aliens turn down the opportunity to avoid this fabricated persecution by being safely resettled in another nation 4. Illegal aliens receive free and functionally unlimited legal services. When facing deportation, they and their lawyers (as a matter of course) automatically file fake asylum applications. It's a multibillion dollar fraudulent industry. It's gross, unethical, and deeply immoral. Everyone involved in this system understands and knows these claims are false. Adjudicating these knowingly false claims is a full-time job for thousands of people. 5. Federal law requires illegal aliens to be detained pending a hearing for their (fake) asylum claim. These are not prisons. They are not being punished. No one is being sentenced. Civil detention and removal is not part of the Article III justice system (in fact, Congress stripped Article III of jurisdiction over civil immigration procedure). The goal of the US government is to send aliens home immediately (they get cash and a free plane ticket) with the fewest days in custody as logistically possible. Any delay is caused by the fake asylum claim. 6. When the fake asylum claim is heard on the “non-detained” docket the illegal aliens rarely show for their hearings. Those few who do show stay in the country regardless after losing (unless placed into detention). Removal orders are ignored as a matter of course. If and when absconders are eventually found (at great time and expense) they still have to be detained to actually effectuate the removal. At this point in time their lawyers will file a motion to reopen their asylum claim or otherwise appeal the finding and seek release again. Regardless, no removal of any alien anywhere can occur unless in a detained setting. If the alien has children they are, by law, supposed to stay in a family residential center (that costs more per night than a high-end hotel, and includes full medical, dental, scholastic and other services) 7. Biden officials did not even bother with the pretext of performing intake interviews for the millions and millions and millions they released into the US. The aliens were simply released on sight, no questions asked, with court dates years away, in the hope and expectation that by the time their fake asylum claims were adjudicated and rejected years later, Democrats would be able to scream that these illegals have now lived here for X years and they and their children must be allowed to stay at our permanent expense. No one in the prior Administration responsible for these decisions actually believed the or now this has anything to do with asylum. To them, it is just useful propaganda in service of infinite mass migration. https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2019043492899725395?s=20 DOJ Files Show Jeffrey Epstein Was Reportedly About To Cooperate With Federal Prosecutors Just Weeks Before He Was Found Dead in Jail Epstein was going to flip?

I). You have the legal right to gather in public spaces for lawful purposes- – -like protesting, petitioning the government, or observing events—as long as it’s peaceful and doesn’t break other laws (e.g., no trespassing, no interfering with federal operations, no violence). Supreme Court cases like De Jonge v. Oregon (1937) made it clear: peaceable assembly is a fundamental right, cognate to free speech, and can’t be banned just because officials dislike the message. Governments can impose reasonable, content-neutral time, place, and manner restrictions (e.g., permits for large crowds, no blocking traffic) to protect public safety/order, but they can’t outright prohibit lawful gatherings or use force against peaceful participants. Bottom line: True peaceful assembly is 100% protected. Fake titles don’t create extra rights or shields for illegal interference.

The DNA evidence in the Paul Caneiro trial is now on the record, and it's devastating. Forensic scientists testified that blood from eight-year-old Sophia Caneiro was found in three locations on jeans recovered from her uncle Paul's basement — shin, calf, and thigh. Her eleven-year-old brother Jesse's DNA was there too. A surgical glove fused to the jeans by frozen water also carried Sophia's DNA. These items were found fourteen miles from where both children were stabbed to death in Colts Neck. Sophia suffered seventeen stab wounds. According to findings cited in court, she may have still been alive when the fire started beneath her. Prosecutors say whoever killed those kids wore those jeans, wore that glove, and brought them home. That's the physical link tying Paul Caneiro to this crime. Meanwhile, testimony confirmed Keith Caneiro was killed with a contact or near-contact shot through his hood — an execution-style wound delivered while he was already down. The night before, Keith had confronted Paul about $77,000 missing from a family trust. The defense is pushing contamination theories and questioning the investigation, but the children's blood is in Paul's basement. That's what the jury has to reconcile. This episode covers the Day 12 testimony and what it means for the case.#PaulCaneiro #CaneiroTrial #HiddenKillers #ColtsNeckMurders #DNAEvidence #TrueCrimePodcast #SophiaCaneiro #JesseCaneiro #QuadrupleMurder #ForensicEvidenceJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/​Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Breaking testimony from the Paul Caneiro quadruple murder trial. New Jersey State Police forensic analysts confirmed DNA from both Sophia Caneiro, age 8, and Jesse Caneiro, age 11, was found on clothing in their uncle Paul's basement. The children were stabbed to death fourteen miles away in Colts Neck. Sophia's blood appeared in three separate locations on a pair of jeans — shin, calf, thigh. Her DNA was also on a black surgical glove frozen to the denim. Jesse's DNA showed up as part of a mixed sample. Prosecutors argue Paul Caneiro wore those items when he allegedly killed his brother Keith's entire family, then brought them home. Sophia was stabbed seventeen times. Court findings suggest she may have still been breathing when the fire was set beneath her. Keith Caneiro was shot execution-style — a contact or near-contact wound through his hood while he lay face-down on his lawn. The night before, he'd confronted Paul about $77,000 missing from a trust account and demanded answers by 8 p.m. Prosecutors say what happened next was Paul's response.

Forget what you think you know about this case. This is the deep dive that puts it all together — and what it reveals is a pattern of alleged predatory behavior that spans thirty years, two generations, and at least two suspicious deaths.John-Paul Miller built his reputation as a man of God. He stood at the pulpit every Sunday preaching salvation. But according to court documents, sworn affidavits, police reports, and a federal indictment, the man behind the cross was allegedly running a different kind of operation entirely.His first wife alleges he confessed to sexual misconduct with underage girls in his church. His second wife — Mica Miller — told police he groomed her from the time she was a child. She called for help fourteen times in her final months. She reported tracking devices. Slashed tires. Being afraid for her life. The system told her to wait. Two days after serving him divorce papers, she was dead.Now JP Miller has been federally indicted for cyberstalking and lying to investigators. Prosecutors allege he tracked Mica's every move, posted nude photos of her online, contacted her over fifty times in a single day, and then lied about all of it when the FBI came asking questions. He has pleaded not guilty.But there's more. Two civil lawsuits allege JP and his father sexually abused minors at their churches for decades. And then there's Chris Skinner — the quadriplegic who drowned two weeks after allegedly confronting JP about an affair with his wife. JP married that widow last year. Neither death has resulted in charges against him.This episode connects every thread. The allegations. The documents. The deaths. The man at the center of it all.You're about to understand exactly who John-Paul Miller allegedly is.#MicaMiller #JPMiller #TrueCrimeToday #BreakingNews #PastorExposed #FederalIndictment #JusticeForMica #CoerciveControl #ChrisSkinner #SolidRockChurchJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Michael McKee is in custody, charged with the aggravated murder of his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband. The affidavit paints a dark picture — surveillance footage, a vehicle traced to McKee, witnesses saying Monique told them he'd been threatening her for years. The public has already made up its mind.Today on True Crime Today, defense attorney Bob Motta examines what a courtroom will actually see when this case goes to trial. The surveillance footage everyone's treating as conclusive — how reliable is it? Video evidence isn't as straightforward as TV makes it look. Bob explains the difference between footage that looks damning and footage that proves guilt beyond reasonable doubt.The hearsay testimony is another issue. Monique reportedly told friends that McKee threatened her. She's dead. She can't testify to any of that. Prosecutors will try to get those statements in through hearsay exceptions, but defense attorneys have ways to challenge them. Bob breaks down how that fight will play out.McKee's phone allegedly went silent during the time of the murders. It's the kind of evidence that makes headlines, but Bob explains why it's more complicated than it sounds. Phones die, people forget them, signals drop. Digital evidence that seems airtight often isn't.There's also the eight-year gap between the divorce and the murders. No restraining orders we know of, no recent incidents documented. Does that help McKee's defense or undermine it? And what does "aggravated murder" actually require prosecutors to prove? Bob explains the difference between "he did it" and "he planned to do it."#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #TepeMurders #TrueCrimeToday #BobMotta #AggravatedMurder #SurveillanceEvidence #DefenseAttorney #DoubleHomicide #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Michael McKee has been charged with murdering his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband. The surveillance footage, the phone records, the witnesses claiming Monique said he'd threatened her for years — it all looks like an open-and-shut case. The public has already decided he's guilty.But defense attorney Bob Motta looks at cases differently. His job is to examine evidence the way a courtroom will, not the way cable news does. And when he looks at this case, he sees questions that haven't been answered yet.The surveillance footage is one thing. Prosecutors are leaning hard on video showing McKee's car allegedly coming and going, him supposedly walking through their yard weeks earlier. Bob explains what people get wrong about video evidence — resolution issues, identification problems, the difference between "looks like" and "proof beyond reasonable doubt."Then there's the hearsay. Monique allegedly told friends that McKee threatened her. She's not alive to testify to that. Can prosecutors just use what other people say she said? Bob breaks down how hearsay exceptions work, when those statements get in, and what a defense attorney does to challenge them.The phone going silent during the murders sounds damning. But digital evidence is more complicated than prosecutors make it seem. Phones die. People leave them places. Bob explains the other side of that story.Eight years passed between the divorce and the murders. No restraining orders that we know of, no recent documented incidents. Does that gap help McKee or hurt him? Bob examines the timeline and what it means for proving premeditation.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #TepeMurders #BobMotta #DefenseAttorney #SurveillanceEvidence #HearsayTestimony #AggravatedMurder #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

"The Killer Cross Examination," host Neil Rockind discusses a Detroit News article regarding Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy's investigation into the docket of 36th District Court Judge Ronald Giles.The investigation, launched in October 2025, involves a review of cases Judge Giles has dismissed. Rockind expresses concern that such a probe—led by the executive branch against the judiciary—could have a "chilling effect" on judges who exercise independence from the prosecution.#neilrockind #killercrossexamination #detroit #detroitnews #prosecutor #kymworthy #ronaldgiles #legalnews #legal Key Details of the ControversyThe Investigation: Prosecutor Kym Worthy directed her staff to review Judge Giles' decisions, particularly regarding case dismissals, due to concerns that he may have "made up some law" in his rulings.Rockind's Critique: Rockind argues that if a prosecutor disagrees with a judge's decision, the appropriate remedy is an appeal, not an investigation into the judge's docket.Judicial Independence: The host frames the probe as an "attack" on the judiciary, emphasizing that judges should act as neutral "umpires" who are not afraid to hold prosecutors and police accountable.Background on Judge Giles: Judge Giles has a history of high-profile dismissals, including a recent October 2025 case where he dropped attempted murder charges due to a lack of evidence.About Neil Rockind - Neil Rockind is a trial lawyer.

Michael McKee is charged with murdering his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband. The evidence looks damning. The public has already convicted him. Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, defense attorney Bob Motta examines what a courtroom will actually see — and takes your questions about the case.The surveillance footage is being treated like a smoking gun. But Bob explains what people get wrong about video evidence. Resolution matters. Angles matter. Identification from grainy footage is more complicated than prosecutors make it seem. The difference between "that looks like him" and "proof beyond reasonable doubt" is where cases get won or lost.Then there's the hearsay problem. Monique allegedly told friends McKee threatened her for years. She's dead. She can't testify to that. Prosecutors will try to get those statements in, but defense attorneys have ways to fight them. Bob breaks down how hearsay exceptions work and what a defense team will argue.The phone going silent during the murders sounds incriminating. But digital evidence is rarely as straightforward as headlines make it appear. Phones die, signals drop, people forget devices. Bob explains the other side.Eight years passed between the divorce and the killings. No restraining orders we know of. Does that help McKee or hurt him? This is an aggravated murder charge — prosecutors have to prove premeditation, not just that he did it. Bob examines what that actually requires.Join us live as we break down this case and take your questions.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #HiddenKillersLive #BobMotta #TepeMurders #SurveillanceEvidence #HearsayTestimony #TrueCrimeLive #AggravatedMurder #LivePodcastJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the rural reaches of Florida's Panhandle, where longleaf pines line quiet roads and neighbors know each other by the sound of their engines, a sexual battery case in the unincorporated community of Fountain exposed how far the state's legal system will go to punish crimes against children. This episode examines the case and the legal architecture behind it.VICTIM PROFILE: The victim was a minor between the ages of twelve and seventeen living in Bay County, Florida. Her identity is protected under state law. What the record shows is that her willingness to come forward and testify at trial formed the foundation of the prosecution's case. Without her testimony, the legal system would have had nothing to act upon. Her courage carried a weight that no verdict can fully acknowledge.THE CRIME: In 2020, allegations surfaced that Brandon Paul Janssen had committed sexual battery against the victim in Fountain, a small unincorporated community in Bay County. The Bay County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation in coordination with the Gulf Coast Children's Advocacy Center, which provided forensic interview support for the minor. During questioning, Janssen confessed to the acts. Prosecutors charged him with two counts of sexual battery on a minor under Florida Statute 794.011(4)(b), each carrying the potential for life imprisonment.THE INVESTIGATION: The Bay County Sheriff's Office led the case with the Gulf Coast Children's Advocacy Center handling victim support and forensic interviews. Janssen's confession became a focal point at trial, with his defense challenging its admissibility on grounds of voluntariness and Miranda compliance. Prosecutor Jeff Moore presented six witnesses before Bay County Circuit Court Judge Timothy Register. The defense also raised hearsay objections to certain testimony. After roughly one hour of deliberation, the jury returned guilty verdicts on both counts.CURRENT STATUS: On November 13, 2023, Janssen received two consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole. He was designated a sexual predator under Florida law, ensuring lifetime registration and supervision. He appealed to the First District Court of Appeal, which affirmed the convictions and sentences on August 27, 2025, under docket number 1D2023-3176. As of early 2026, Janssen remains incarcerated at Century Correctional Institution.Support Obscura: https://www.patreon.com/obscuracrimepodcast/Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Chime: https://chime.com/OBSCURA* Check out Mood and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out Quince: https://quince.com/OBSCURA* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code OBSCURA20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/obscura-a-true-crime-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Three weeks of testimony. Two days of the defendant on the stand. Brendan Banfield testified that he heard "moaning" from the bedroom, went upstairs with his gun, and shot Joseph Ryan after finding him kneeling over his naked wife with a knife. He called the murder accusation "absolutely crazy." But his own IRS supervisor came forward to say there was no important meeting scheduled that morning — contradicting his alibi. Prosecutors showed jail letters where Banfield professed love to Juliana and discussed baby names. They showed a framed photo of him and the au pair on his nightstand months after Christine's death. Robin Dreeke, former FBI special agent and behavioral analysis expert, breaks down what dismissive language reveals about a defendant's psychology, how blood evidence suggesting staging aligns with behavioral patterns, and whether the prosecution's complex conspiracy theory or the defense's simple alternative better explains what happened on February 24th, 2023.#BrendanBanfield #AuPairAffair #ChristineBanfield #JosephRyan #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimeToday #FBI #FairfaxCounty #DoubleMurder #CatfishingMurderJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Kouri Richins murder trial begins February 23rd, 2026, and the prosecution's case looks nothing like it did when she was arrested nearly three years ago. Robert Crozier — the man who allegedly sold fentanyl to Kouri's housekeeper Carmen Lauber — has signed a sworn affidavit saying he never sold fentanyl at all. He now claims it was OxyContin, and that he was detoxing and "out of it" during his original police interview. The defense says this throws a grenade into the state's entire theory. Without Crozier confirming fentanyl, the chain connecting Kouri to the drug that killed her husband is broken. But Judge Richard Mrazik isn't buying it — he says there's still substantial evidence, and Kouri remains in jail without bail for the third time. Meanwhile, prosecutors lost their bid to introduce 26 financial fraud charges to the murder jury, their domestic violence expert was blocked entirely, and their FBI profiler can barely testify. The defense also got key statements from a 2022 search suppressed after detectives failed to read Kouri her Miranda rights. What's left? A housekeeper's testimony, a handwritten notebook prosecutors say details the night Eric died, and a letter found in Kouri's jail cell that looks a lot like witness tampering — unless you believe her claim it was fiction. After years of delays, appeals, and pretrial warfare, this case finally goes to a Summit County jury. We break down everything — the evidence that survived, the evidence that didn't, and what both sides need to prove when testimony begins.#KouriRichins #EricRichins #KouriRichinsTrial #TrueCrime #FentanylMurder #SummitCounty #UtahMurderTrial #WitnessRecants #HiddenKillers #MurderTrial2026Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brendan Banfield faces life in prison for allegedly orchestrating the deaths of his wife Christine and Joseph Ryan — the stranger prosecutors say he catfished and lured to the home to frame for the murder. Robin Dreeke, former FBI special agent and head of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, delivers his full behavioral breakdown. Banfield took the stand and called the accusation "absolutely crazy." His IRS supervisor then contradicted his alibi. Prosecutors showed jail letters professing love to the au pair and discussing baby names. A framed photo of Banfield and Juliana was found on his nightstand eight months after Christine died. Blood evidence suggested staging. The defense says Juliana made it all up after investigators pressured her into a deal. Robin explains what Banfield's dismissive testimony language reveals, how juries process complex conspiracy theories versus simple explanations, and what the full behavioral picture tells us about what actually happened in that bedroom — and whether the evidence supports it.#BrendanBanfield #AuPairAffair #ChristineBanfield #JosephRyan #RobinDreeke #FBI #TrueCrime #HiddenKillersLive #FairfaxCounty #DoubleMurderJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dylan Syer speaks publicly for the first time about the high-profile accusations that upended his life, including allegations of fraud, identity theft, and grand larceny stemming from his work as a celebrity personal shopper. Prosecutors claimed Dylan used access to clients' finances to make unauthorized luxury purchases, accusations he firmly denies. In this episode, Dylan explains what he says really happened, how the charges caused his business to collapse overnight, and what it was like being sent to Rikers Island while fighting to clear his name. He also opens up about the emotional toll of the case, navigating the criminal justice system, and ultimately being sentenced to one year of weekends at Rikers — a punishment that kept him trapped between freedom and incarceration. _____________________________________________ #RikersIsland #PrisonStories #TrueCrimePodcast #CelebrityLifestyle #LifeAfterPrison #JusticeSystem #RedemptionStory #lockedin _____________________________________________ Thank you to AVA & GOLD DROP SELTZERS for sponsoring this episode: AVA: Take control of your credit today.

Unsealed forensic filings from the Bryan Kohberger case reveal devastating new details about what happened inside the King Road house on November 13, 2022 — including evidence that one victim's fight for survival may have been what brought down her killer.Xana Kernodle was stabbed 67 times. That number alone is staggering, but the context makes it more significant. Kaylee Goncalves sustained 38 wounds, Madison Mogen 28, and Ethan Chapin 17. Xana's wound count exceeds the other three combined. And unlike her roommates, Xana had blood on the bottoms of her bare feet — the only victim who moved after the attack began.Blood pattern analysis found traces of Kaylee and Maddie's blood on the stairwell and bannister leading from the third floor to the second. Since both women never stood up, investigators believe Xana went upstairs, encountered Kohberger mid-attack, and fled with him pursuing her. Police documented an intense struggle and defensive wounds between her fingers, with injuries extending into the bones of her hand. Kaylee's sister called Xana a hero — and the evidence supports that.Prosecutors now believe her fight caused Kohberger to leave behind the DNA-laden knife sheath that cracked the case.Also today: Idaho State Police released 2,800 crime scene photos last week, then removed them hours later after giving families less than 15 minutes' notice. A court order was supposed to prevent this.

The GUILTY Verdict was handed down to Brendan Banfield, the former IRS agent charged with four counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of his wife Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan. Prosecutors allege Banfield and the family's au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, lured Ryan to their Herndon home through a fetish website and staged the killings as a home invasion.The defense argues digital forensics contradict the catfishing theory and that investigators who disagreed were reassigned. Banfield faces life without parole if convicted. The four-week trial continues in Fairfax County.#TrueCrimeToday #BrendanBanfield #AuPairAffair #MurderTrial #ChristineBanfield #JosephRyan #FairfaxCounty #JulianaMagalhaes #Justice #BreakingJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Trust account expert Lazaro Cardenas explained something to jurors this week that changes everything about the Colts Neck murders: Keith Caneiro's $3 million life insurance policy was structured so that Paul would only benefit if Keith, Jennifer, AND both children were all dead. Not just Keith. All four of them. According to prosecutors, this is why 11-year-old Jesse and 8-year-old Sophia weren't spared. They weren't collateral damage. They were allegedly necessary casualties. A detective testified that Sophia had a stab wound to her left eye. The final recorded phone call between Keith and his brother Paul captures a man demanding answers hours before his murder. "Give me the f***ing login, Paul!" Keith is heard saying, giving his brother a deadline to provide access to a trust account. Prosecutors say Keith had discovered Paul was stealing from their shared businesses and was cutting him off from a $225,000 salary. A neighbor put a timestamp on the killing. Dennis Corpora testified he woke up around 3:20 AM on November 20th, 2018. "I heard the shots, and I said, 'Someone just got whacked.'" Hours later, four people were dead and the mansion was burning. Prosecutors say Paul shot Keith outside the home, then went inside and stabbed Jennifer and the children before setting the house on fire. Hours earlier, he allegedly set fire to his own Ocean Township home while his wife and daughters slept inside. The defense wants jurors to look at a third brother, Corey, claiming police never investigated him. But the murder weapon, silencer, night-vision scope, bloody jeans with the children's DNA, and a go-bag with a passport were all found at Paul's house. For the defense theory to work, Corey would have had to commit quadruple murder and plant all the evidence. That's not reasonable doubt. That's fiction.#PaulCaneiro #KeithCaneiro #ColtsNeckMurders #JenniferCaneiro #MansionMurders #CaneiroTrial #MonmouthCounty #FamilyAnnihilator #TrueCrimeToday #CourtTVJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The forensic details from the Idaho student murders are finally public — and what they reveal about Xana Kernodle's final moments is both heartbreaking and remarkable.New court filings show the wound counts for all four victims: Kaylee Goncalves sustained 38 sharp-force wounds, Madison Mogen 28, Ethan Chapin 17, and Xana Kernodle 67. Xana took more wounds than the other three combined. But the autopsy findings go further. Kaylee, Maddie, and Ethan had no blood on their feet — they never stood up. Xana did. Blood on the bottoms of her bare feet proves she moved during the attack.Investigators found blood from the third-floor victims on the stairwell and bannister leading to the second floor. Since Kaylee and Maddie never stood, someone else carried that blood down. The evidence points to Xana encountering Kohberger upstairs, then fleeing — with him chasing her. Police documented defensive wounds between her fingers and cuts to the bones of her hand. She grabbed the blade. She fought until she couldn't anymore.Prosecutors believe her resistance is why Kohberger left behind the knife sheath that contained his DNA — the break that solved the case.We also cover Idaho State Police releasing nearly 2,800 crime scene photos last week, then pulling them hours later. The families had less than 15 minutes' warning — despite a court order already in place.

The Verdict was handed down today in Fairfax County, Virginia. Banfield, a former IRS agent, is charged with four counts of aggravated murder in the February 2023 deaths of his wife Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan at their Herndon, Virginia home.Prosecutors allege Banfield plotted the killings with the family's Brazilian au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, with whom he was having an affair. Magalhães has pleaded guilty to manslaughter and is expected to testify against Banfield. The defense maintains digital evidence does not support the state's catfishing theory.#BrendanBanfield #AuPairAffair #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #Testimony #ChristineBanfield #JosephRyan #FairfaxCounty #HiddenKillers #BreakingJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The final recorded phone call between Keith Caneiro and his older brother Paul was played for jurors this week—and it captures a man demanding answers hours before his murder. "Give me the f***ing login, Paul!" Keith is heard saying, giving his brother a deadline of 8 p.m. to provide access to a trust account. By the next afternoon, Keith, his wife Jennifer, and their two children—11-year-old Jesse and 8-year-old Sophia—were dead. Prosecutors say Keith had discovered Paul was stealing from their shared businesses and was cutting him off from a $225,000 salary. A neighbor put a timestamp on the killing. Dennis Corpora testified he woke up around 3:20 AM on November 20th, 2018. "I heard the shots, and I said, 'Someone just got whacked.'" He told jurors it was a pistol. Prosecutors say Paul shot Keith four times in the head and once in the back outside the Colts Neck mansion, then went inside and stabbed Jennifer and the children.A detective testified that Sophia had a stab wound to her left eye. Trust account expert Lazaro Cardenas delivered testimony that changes everything: Keith's $3 million life insurance policy was structured so Paul would only benefit if all four family members were dead. According to prosecutors, this is why the children weren't spared. They were allegedly necessary casualties. Hours before the mansion fire, Paul allegedly set fire to his own Ocean Township home while his wife and daughters slept inside. The defense points to a third brother, Corey, claiming police never investigated him. But the murder weapon, silencer, night-vision scope, bloody jeans with the children's DNA, and a go-bag with a passport were all found at Paul's house.

The Arkansas Supreme Court removed Judge Barbara Elmore from Aaron Spencer's murder case 48 hours before trial was set to begin. This is the same judge who released Michael Fosler on bond after he was charged with 43 felonies including alleged rape of a minor. The same judge whose gag order the Supreme Court already struck down as a "plain, manifest, clear, and gross abuse of discretion." The same judge who ignored their warning and restricted public access again. Now 14 state legislators have filed a formal complaint with the Judicial Discipline Commission. The Supreme Court granted a Writ of Certiorari to review every ruling Elmore made. And retired Judge Ralph Wilson—31 years on the bench, known as an advocate for children—is taking over one of the most watched trials in Arkansas. Aaron Spencer is the Lonoke County father charged with second-degree murder after killing Fosler. According to the defense, Fosler showed up with Spencer's 14-year-old daughter in his vehicle at 1 a.m. after she went missing from her bedroom—despite being charged with sexually assaulting her and ordered to stay away from minors. Spencer told authorities he rammed Fosler's truck off the road and shot him after Fosler allegedly lunged at him. The dashcam footage that could have supported the defense's version of events reportedly vanished—the SD card gone weeks before trial. But the bodycam from three months before the shooting, showing Spencer's grief when he learned about his daughter? Prosecutors kept that. They want it in front of the jury. Defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down what the judicial removal means, what prior rulings could be reconsidered, and whether this case should have ever been charged. Spencer is still running for Lonoke County Sheriff while awaiting trial.#AaronSpencer #JudgeBarbaraElmore #ArkansasSupremeCourt #MichaelFosler #BobMotta #LononkeCounty #JudicialMisconduct #SelfDefense #TrueCrimeToday #JusticeSystemJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Arkansas Supreme Court just removed Judge Barbara Elmore from Aaron Spencer's murder trial—and appointed a retired judge from the opposite end of the state to take over. This wasn't a close call. Three justices wanted Elmore gone since May, when the high court struck down her gag order as a "plain, manifest, clear, and gross abuse of discretion." Seven months later, she tried again—different restrictions, same constitutional problems. This time they didn't just reverse her. They pulled her entirely. Elmore is the same judge who released Michael Fosler on bond after he was charged with 43 felonies including alleged rape of a minor, sexual assault, and child pornography. Fosler is the man Aaron Spencer killed after, according to the defense, he showed up with Spencer's 14-year-old daughter in his vehicle at 1 a.m. Spencer told authorities he rammed Fosler's truck off the road and shot him after Fosler allegedly lunged at him. Now 14 Republican state legislators have filed a formal complaint with the Judicial Discipline Commission about fair trial concerns. The Supreme Court granted a Writ of Certiorari to review Elmore's prior rulings—potentially reopening decisions that shaped the entire pretrial process. Defense attorney Bob Motta was in that Arkansas courtroom when the news broke. He joins us to analyze what it takes for a state supreme court to remove a judge mid-case, what retired Judge Ralph Wilson brings to one of the most watched trials in the state, and whether the prosecution might finally reconsider charges that public sentiment has turned against. The dashcam footage that could have supported self-defense reportedly vanished. But the bodycam showing Spencer's grief when he learned about his daughter? Prosecutors want that in front of the jury.#AaronSpencer #JudgeElmore #ArkansasSupremeCourt #BobMotta #MichaelFosler #LononkeCounty #JudicialRemoval #DefenseOfOthers #TrueCrime #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The grand jury investigating the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez is done playing nice. LAPD Robbery-Homicide just arrested Neo Langston—D4VD's close friend and fellow content creator known online as NeoTheAsian—at his mother's home in Montana for failure to appear as a witness. He's now sitting in an LA jail on $60,000 bail. Back in December, a female witness went into hiding and had to be threatened with a body attachment order to compel her testimony. Manager Robert Morgenroth spent days on the stand and was overheard saying his priority was keeping the tour going—not calling police. Prosecutors are making it clear: cooperate or get dragged in. Sources confirm the grand jury has full authority to indict. Prosecutor Beth Silverman reportedly believes D4VD was involved in Celeste's death and is building toward murder charges. Investigators have identified a second suspect who may have been involved "before, during, and after" the killing. Digital evidence from D4VD's Tesla allegedly shows two people may have been present during a mysterious late-night trip to a remote area of Santa Barbara County last spring. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to analyze what the physical evidence reveals. A chainsaw still in its protective sheath. A burn cage incinerator capable of 1,600 degrees—boxed, unopened. Both found inside the Hollywood Hills home where Celeste's dismembered body was discovered in D4VD's Tesla. Private investigator Steve Fischer's assessment: "Whatever happened here, this wasn't a finalized plan. She was not meant to be left in that Tesla. The plan got upended." Coffindaffer breaks down what unused disposal tools suggest about intent versus execution, and how circumstantial murder cases succeed or fail. D4VD has not been charged. He remains legally presumed innocent.#D4VD #NeoLangston #CelesteRivas #JenniferCoffindaffer #FBI #GrandJury #LAPDRobberyHomicide #NeoTheAsian #JusticeForCeleste #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How do prosecutors prove premeditation when there are no eyewitnesses? When there's an eight-year gap between a divorce and a double homicide? When the defendant is a board-certified vascular surgeon with no criminal history who doesn't look like a killer? Michael McKee allegedly drove 300 miles from Chicago to Columbus to execute his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Dr. Spencer Tepe while their young children slept nearby. The evidence police have described is substantial—ballistic matches linking a firearm from McKee's property to shell casings at the scene, vehicle surveillance, a confirmed ID in alley footage, and a firearm suppressor that prosecutors will argue proves this was planned. Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis spent years in the Special Victims Unit handling first-degree murder cases and has tried 45+ jury trials. He breaks down why charges were upgraded from murder to aggravated murder, how prosecutors establish motive across a timeline spanning nearly a decade, and what the state needs the jury to believe about Dr. Michael McKee. We also examine McKee's behavioral patterns through the Dark Triad framework—narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. A man who allegedly evaded a malpractice lawsuit nine times, fled his marriage after seven months, and may have spent years fixating on the woman who moved on without him. Every possible defense strategy runs into the wall of premeditation evidence. And the same ego that allegedly drove him to murder may prevent him from ever accepting a plea deal that could spare him from life without parole.#MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #MichaelMcKee #TepeMurders #EricFaddis #AggravatedMurder #DarkTriad #ColumbusOhio #TrueCrimeToday #MurderTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For eleven days after Monique Tepe and her husband Dr. Spencer Tepe were found shot to death in their Columbus home, the man charged with their murders was still working as a vascular surgeon in Illinois. Michael McKee, 39, pleaded not guilty on January 23rd to four counts of aggravated murder. Prosecutors say ballistic evidence links a firearm from McKee's Rockford property to shell casings recovered at the crime scene. Surveillance footage allegedly captured his vehicle arriving just before the December 30th killings and leaving shortly after. Columbus Police Chief Elaine Bryant called it a "targeted" and "domestic violence related attack." The couple's two young children, ages four and one, were found unharmed inside the home. McKee and Monique divorced in 2017 after less than two years of marriage. She and Spencer were approaching their fifth wedding anniversary. But the murder charges aren't the only story here. McKee's Nevada medical license had expired in June 2025. Court records show he was added to a malpractice lawsuit just months before the killings. He allegedly provided fake addresses on official documents. Yet he was credentialed to perform surgery at OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center in Rockford. How does this happen? We expose the National Practitioner Data Bank—a database Congress created to catch problem doctors that the public can't access and many state medical boards don't check. Over 500 doctors disciplined in one state are practicing elsewhere with clean records. More than 250 who surrendered licenses are operating in new states with no consequences. They call it "passing the trash" in education. In medicine, there's no equivalent reform. No federal accountability. Just a system protecting physician mobility over patient safety. McKee faces life without parole. But how many doctors like him are out there right now?#SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #MichaelMcKee #TepeMurders #MedicalMalpractice #StateMedicalBoard #ColumbusOhio #PatientSafety #TrueCrimeToday #AggravatedMurderJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Paul Caneiro trial just delivered some of its most disturbing testimony yet. A blood stain expert told jurors that eleven-year-old Jesse Caneiro was still moving - still bleeding - still trying to reach the front door when he died. The patterns don't lie. A handprint. A finger mark. Movement toward an exit he never reached.Prosecutors say Paul Caneiro killed his brother Keith, sister-in-law Jennifer, and their two children over money and a $3 million life insurance policy. But the defense is pointing at someone else entirely: Corey Caneiro, the third brother who was never investigated, never DNA tested, and who - according to a civil lawsuit - took control of the insurance money and bought a $1.8 million home less than a year later.Did Paul Caneiro commit the most brutal family murder in New Jersey history? Or was he the perfect patsy? We dig into the crime scene evidence, the timeline prosecutors are building, the questions the defense is raising, and what those blood patterns in Keith Caneiro's kitchen really tell us about the final moments of a family destroyed.#PaulCaneiro #ColtsMurders #MansionMurders #TrueCrime #MonmouthCounty #KeithCaneiro #JesseCaneiro #SophiaCaneiro #MurderTrial #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The evidence against Michael McKee is staggering—ballistic matches linking a firearm from his property to shell casings at the scene, vehicle surveillance tracking his movements from Chicago to Columbus, a confirmed ID as the figure in the alley footage, and a firearm suppressor that prosecutors will argue proves premeditation. McKee allegedly drove 300 miles to execute his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Dr. Spencer Tepe while their two young children slept nearby. Now the vascular surgeon faces four counts of aggravated murder carrying life without parole. Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis, who spent years in the Special Victims Unit and has tried 45+ jury trials, joins us to break down exactly what the state needs to prove and where the defense might try to create doubt. We examine the forensic evidence, the alleged pre-murder stalking, and family testimony describing emotional abuse with no police reports to back it up. But this episode goes deeper than the prosecution's case. We analyze how a man who allegedly evaded a malpractice lawsuit nine times and fled his marriage after seven months will likely approach his own defense. Using the Dark Triad framework—narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy—we examine how these personality patterns typically manifest when someone faces consequences they cannot escape. The rationalization, projection, and denial that prevents certain defendants from ever accepting guilt. And the tragic irony that the same ego that allegedly drove McKee to murder may prevent him from taking a plea deal that could spare him from dying behind bars.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #TepeMurders #EricFaddis #AggravatedMurder #DarkTriad #ColumbusOhio #TrueCrime #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Michael McKee is sitting in a Franklin County jail cell facing four counts of aggravated murder. The evidence police have described is damning—ballistic matches, vehicle surveillance, the figure in the alley footage, and a firearm suppressor. Prosecutors allege the vascular surgeon drove 300 miles from Chicago to Columbus to execute his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Dr. Spencer Tepe while their children slept nearby. Eleven days later, investigators say they recovered the murder weapon from McKee's property. But how do you prove premeditation when there are no eyewitnesses and an eight-year gap since the divorce? And what defense strategies are even available when the forensic evidence appears this overwhelming? Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us live to break down exactly what the state needs to establish—and where cases like this can fall apart. Faddis spent years in the Special Victims Unit handling first-degree murder cases and has tried 45+ jury trials. He knows how prosecutors weaponize contradictory alibis, how they establish motive across a decade-long timeline, and why charges were upgraded from murder to aggravated murder. We'll also examine McKee through the Dark Triad framework—narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy—to analyze how these personality patterns typically manifest in criminal defense situations. A man who allegedly evaded a malpractice lawsuit nine times and fled his marriage after seven months may be incapable of accepting accountability even when his freedom depends on it. The same arrogance that allegedly drove him to murder may be the thing that convicts him.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #EricFaddis #TepeMurders #AggravatedMurder #DarkTriad #ColumbusOhio #TrueCrimeLive #HiddenKillersLiveJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the two months Minnesota has been under siege by federal agents, immigration officers have shot and killed two U.S. citizens, poet and artist Renee Good and ICU nurse Alex Pretti. Local and state law enforcement say they've been blocked from properly investigating the shootings of Good and Pretti. “The federal government has blocked our state BCA, so that's the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. They are the state law enforcement agency that has authority to investigate any kind of deadly use of force involving police,” says Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, who is leading local investigations into the killings of Good and Pretti. “We've not gotten anything from the federal government,” Moriarty says. “To tell you how odd this situation is, we are getting our information from the media ... we are not getting that from the federal government.” This week on The Intercept Briefing, host Akela Lacy speaks with Moriarty, whose office has jurisdiction over both killings. Moriarty says federal agents have blocked local and state law enforcement from properly investigating the killings. Even Moriarty, the top prosecutor in Minneapolis, does not know the identity of the agents who killed Pretti. In response, Moriarty says, “We set up a portal and asked the community to send any kind of videos or any other kind of evidence so that we could collect absolutely everything that we possibly could.” The BCA, she says, was even “blocked physically, actually, by federal agents from processing the scene where Alex Pretti was shot.”Meanwhile, attacks by the administration on Minnesota's Somali citizens persist. At her first town hall of the year in Minneapolis, an attendee sprayed Rep. Ilhan Omar with an unidentified substance on Tuesday. Trump has backtracked on some of his bluster and removed Border Patrol Gregory Bovino from Minnesota, replacing him with border czar Tom Homan. None of that has changed things on the ground yet in Minneapolis, says Moriarty. “Minnesotans care about their neighbors. They're delivering meals to people. They are there and they do not approve of the fact that their federal government is attacking them and their neighbors.“We hear a lot of people talking to us about how they understand the threat from the administration or from DHS on their neighbors and on their communities, and it's really much more rooted in an understanding that they think their freedoms are under threat, even if they are not an immigrant or even if they don't really have deep ties to immigrant communities, that this really matters to them and it really bothers them,” says Jill Garvey, co-director of States at the Core, an organization that leads and runs ICE Watch training programs. “So we hear a lot from folks who just haven't been engaged previously. But this for all those reasons is enough for them to step up.”Garvey says her organization is training community members in how to properly document ICE. “We also know that we can't stop all this aggression,” Garvey says. “The aggression is the point of these operations. So we can't guarantee that people aren't going to be targeted with violent actions from federal law enforcement. What we can say is, if you're doing this in community, other people are going to be watching.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

When his 13-year-old daughter's 67-year-old rapist kidnapped her again, Aaron Spencer hunted him down, rescued his girl, and shot her rapist to death in the struggle. Rather than giving him a medal, the prosecutor's office instead charged him with murder. As his trial looms, questions have been raised about the judge presiding over the case and procedures for choosing the jury. We discuss.P.S. The Arkansas Supreme Court recently removed the judge.

The afternoon session of the Brendan Banfield trial brought intense cross-examination, forensic testimony, and surprise rebuttal witnesses.Prosecutors pressed Banfield on delayed statements to police, multiple affairs, emotional letters to Juliana, and disputed timelines surrounding the morning of the attack.Detailed questioning focused on his actions after returning home, failure to immediately call 911, firearm use, and inconsistencies between his account and medical examiner findings. Expert witnesses analyzed audio from the 911 call, debating whether sounds captured were human or canine.In rebuttal, an IRS supervisor unexpectedly testified that no meeting had been scheduled the morning Banfield claimed to leave early — severely undermining his alibi. The episode closes with discussion of upcoming jury instructions, anticipated closing arguments, and what could be a quick verdict in this high-profile case.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!

Two families destroyed by violence. Two different kinds of institutional failure. On True Crime Today, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott — author of The Minds of Mass Killers — provides expert analysis of the psychology behind family annihilation and the systemic failures of America's addiction treatment industry.The Paul Caneiro trial in Monmouth County, New Jersey, has revealed staggering violence. Prosecutors allege Paul murdered his brother Keith, sister-in-law Jennifer, and their children Jesse and Sophia after Keith discovered Paul had stolen $78,000. Eight-year-old Sophia was stabbed 17 times, including a wound to her eye, and was allegedly still alive when the fire started. Shavaun explains what drives family annihilators to kill everyone rather than face accountability, what overkill violence reveals about psychological state, and how to read courtroom emotion.The Nick Reiner case exposed the failures of a $42 billion addiction treatment industry. The Reiner family had every resource available — access, money, the best facilities — and Rob and Michele Reiner are still dead. Shavaun examines why the 28-day model keeps failing, who profits from relapse, why insurance companies control treatment length over clinical judgment, and why fifty years of dismal outcomes haven't triggered meaningful reform. Essential expert analysis of how systems fail the families they're supposed to protect.#ShavaunScott #PaulCaneiro #NickReiner #RobReiner #KeithCaneiro #FamilyAnnihilation #AddictionTreatment #TreatmentFailure #ColtsNeck #TrueCrimeTodayJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Kouri Richins murder trial is two weeks away and the prosecution is facing a credibility crisis on multiple fronts.Defense attorneys just filed a motion accusing lead detective Jeff O'Driscoll and investigator Travis Hopper of intimidating state witnesses. Text messages attached to the filing allegedly show O'Driscoll threatening one witness with arrest and jail if she didn't submit to prep sessions she had refused. His message reportedly included a threat to return with "a warrant and a catch pole for the dog." A second witness claims Hopper warned that their immunity agreement could be revoked for declining additional interviews.This follows months of pretrial battles over evidence and witness credibility. In January, defense attorneys questioned O'Driscoll's truthfulness during suppression hearings about whether he knew Richins had an attorney when he interviewed her. Summit County brought in outside counsel to investigate. The defense also revealed that Robert Crozier — the man prosecutors say supplied the fentanyl that killed Eric Richins — has recanted, now claiming he sold OxyContin, not fentanyl.Prosecutors maintain substantial evidence still supports the charges. Judge Richard Mrazik denied Richins' third bail request in November, finding the recantation creates holes but not enough to undermine the case.Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder and maintains her innocence. She's been held in Summit County Jail since May 2023. Jury selection begins February 10th.#TrueCrimeToday #KouriRichins #EricRichins #UtahMurderTrial #WitnessIntimidation #FentanylPoisoning #RobertCrozier #CarmenLauber #JudgeMrazik #TrueCrimeNewsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of Pretty Lies & Alibis, we break down the day Brendan Banfield finally took the stand in his murder trial, following the dramatic collapse of the defense's private investigator under cross-examination. Prosecutors methodically challenged the PI's claims about phone locations, FetLife activity, Telegram usage, and Gmail account creation, emphasizing that multiple devices existed in the household and that the witness could not determine who was actually operating them.The Commonwealth highlighted key moments when Christine was active on her laptop while illicit accounts were accessed elsewhere, weakening the defense narrative.Brendan Banfield then testified about his long marriage to Christine, their careers, family life, and their young daughter. Jurors were shown numerous family photos as the defense attempted to humanize him, though prosecutors objected to what they argued was repetitive emotional evidence. Banfield admitted to having an affair with the family's au pair, Juliana, describing how it began while Christine and their daughter were out of town. He denied any planning related to Christine's murder. He also walked through the morning of the killings, describing leaving early for work, stopping at McDonald's, receiving a panicked call from Juliana about a strange man entering the house, unsuccessfully trying to reach Christine, and then driving back home.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!
