Beth Shelburne is the journalist and voice behind the Earwitness podcast.  Earwitness can be found as season 4 of the Bone Valley podcast. She dives deep into a horrific miscarriage of justice. Toforest Johnson was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of a police officer, with no evidence connecting him to the crime. Prosecutors relied on multiple attempts at trials, multiple changing theories presented to the juries and the testimony of an "earwitness" who claimed to have overheard a phone call that incriminates Johnson. Beth digs deep to expose corruption and the wrongs the have left justice go unserved for decades in this case.The majority of the funding of our work comes directly from listeners, through our Patreon community.  To join Patreon, click THIS LINK.  At the $5/month level you'll get access to lots of Patreon Only BONUS EPISODES, Ad Free versions of all episodes, an hour of Patreon Exclusive video content every week, and our new weekly podcast “Pre-Game”, which drops every Wednesday.  Not to mention early access to some episodes and the ability to watch and participate in interviews live.Today's Sponsors:Quince – Head to Quince.com/Ruff for free shipping and 365 day returns.

Politics, pressure campaigns, and federal bombshells. Steve Tavares, Trishala Vinnakota, and special co-host Justin Berton break down explosive new court filings in the federal corruption case against former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao and the Duong family. Prosecutors allege Thao threatened to abandon a lucrative modular housing deal if East Bay Insiders published a story about former San Leandro Councilmember Bryan Azevedo's conduct during a trip to Vietnam. They also allege the Duongs paid former East Bay Insiders co-host Shawn Wilson $10,000 to suppress the story. We also examine the latest in the CA14 special election including how Melissa Hernandez's divorce records raise new questions about a central theme of her campaign biography. Plus, Oakland Department of Transportation Director Josh Rowan's remarkable broadside against City Hall, and Steve's latest conspiracy about a monster escaping from a Port of Oakland shipping container. Of course, Justin denies the claim.

This episode covers real-life horror far more extreme than usual, including a Russian professor arrested in 2011 for keeping the mummified corpses of 29 women and girls in his apartment, each one fitted with a hidden music box. It also includes the story of a 19th-century whiskey heir who paid six handkerchiefs for a 10-year-old girl so he could watch cannibals kill and eat her, and the theory that Alexander the Great was declared dead nearly a week before he actually died. Content is more graphic than usual, so listener discretion is advised.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/necropolystREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8e5emeCHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding00:00:47.354 = Show Open00:01:58.356 = Alexander the Great00:05:52.710 = The Ravenous Beast of Gévaudan00:09:41.943 = The Rape and Burial of Jessica Lunsford ***00:11:55.911 = The Dyatlov Pass Incident00:15:29.080 = The Torture Dungeon of Leonard Lake and Charles Ng00:19:10.197 = Robert The Doll00:23:08.785 = The Disappearance and Eerie Return of Bobby Dunbar ***00:26:33.271 = Albert Fish – The Brooklyn Vampire00:30:06.498 = The Strange Disappearance of the Sodder Children00:34:28.570 = Anatoly Moskvin, The Russian Who Mummified Dead Girls00:38:41.505 = The Jameson Whiskey Cannibal ***00:42:29.572 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: March 2022Weird Darkness this episode gathers real-life horror too extreme for scripted television, spanning from ancient Macedonia to the Congo basin and landing, along the way, in a Russian apartment stacked with mummified girls.It opens with Alexander the Great, who collapsed in Babylon in 323 B.C. after a 24-hour drinking binge triggered a sudden fever, a stabbing pain in his back, and creeping paralysis that eventually left him speechless; doctors pronounced him dead at 32. His body reportedly stayed "pure and fresh" for six days afterward, evidence ancient Greeks took as proof of his divinity. In 2019, Dr. Katherine Hall of New Zealand's University of Otago proposed in the Ancient History Bulletin that Alexander actually suffered from Guillain-Barré Syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that paralyzes the body while leaving the mind fully intact; since fourth-century-B.C. doctors checked for breath rather than a pulse, Hall's theory suggests Alexander may have been declared dead nearly a week before he actually died, and was buried alive.From there, the story moves to 18th-century France, where a wolf-like creature killed or mauled close to 300 people across three years in the Gévaudan region, most of them women and children. Fourteen-year-old shepherdess Jeanne Boulet was the first confirmed victim in 1764; a fifteen-year-old girl killed a month later survived long enough to describe her attacker as "a horrible beast". Militia leader Jean-Baptiste Duhamel organized a 30,000-strong hunting party, and King Louis XV eventually dispatched his own bodyguard, François Antoine, who killed a large wolf in September 1765; the attacks resumed within months regardless. A farmer named Jean Chastel is credited with killing the actual beast using silver bullets, reportedly after finding human remains inside its stomach.Next, the episode turns to the 2005 murder of nine-year-old Jessica Lunsford in Homosassa, Florida. Convicted sex offender John Evander Couey broke into her family's home, took her to his trailer, raped her over three days, sealed her inside garbage bags, and buried her alive in his yard while she still clutched a stuffed dolphin her father had won her at a state fair. Prosecutors later determined Jessica may have still been alive in the house during Couey's first police interview. Couey was convicted of first-degree murder and kidnapping in March 2007 and died on death row of natural causes in 2009.From Florida, the episode jumps to the Ural Mountains and the Dyatlov Pass incident of January 1959, when hiking leader Igor Dyatlov and eight fellow students from the Ural Polytechnic Institute died during an expedition toward Otorten Mountain. Investigators found their tent slashed open from the inside and shoeless footprints leading nearly a mile into the forest; the first bodies recovered, dressed only in underwear despite temperatures near negative 20 degrees Fahrenheit, were ruled hypothermia deaths. Two of the last four bodies found, Lyudmila Dubinina and Semyon Zolotaryov, were missing their eyeballs, Lyudmila was also missing her tongue, and both had clothing that tested positive for radioactivity. More than sixty years later, no single explanation, from avalanche to secret Soviet weapons testing, has been confirmed.The episode then moves to a cabin in California's Sierra Nevada foothills, where Leonard Lake and Charles Ng tortured and killed as many as 25 people between 1983 and 1985. Lake, a Vietnam veteran discharged for psychological reasons, built a cinderblock bunker behind a one-way mirror where he and Ng held women as sex slaves before killing them, dismembering the bodies, and dissolving the remains in acid; investigators eventually recovered twelve victims' remains along with roughly 40 pounds of charred bone. The pair was caught in June 1985 after Ng tried to shoplift a bench vise; Lake swallowed a cyanide capsule sewn into his jacket lining and died in custody before trial, while Ng was convicted of eleven murders in 1999 and remains on death row at San Quentin.Next comes Robert the Doll, manufactured by Germany's Steiff Company in 1904 and given to a Key West boy named Robert Eugene "Gene" Otto, who reportedly carried the doll everywhere and spoke of it in the first person. After Gene died in 1974, new owner Myrtle Reuter said the doll continued moving through her house with no explanation and eventually donated it to the Fort East Martello Museum, where curator Cori Convertito now oversees a steady stream of visitors who claim their cameras stop working in Robert's presence.From there, the episode circles back to 1912 Louisiana and the disappearance of four-year-old Bobby Dunbar from Swayze Lake. Eight months later, authorities found a boy matching his description traveling with a man named William Cantwell Walters, who insisted the child was Bruce Anderson, son of field hand Julia Anderson; the Dunbar family claimed the boy as their own anyway. It took until 2004, after years of research by Bobby's granddaughter Margaret Dunbar Cutwright, for a DNA test to prove the man raised as Bobby Dunbar shared no blood relation to the Dunbar family, meaning the real Bobby likely died in 1912 and the family had unknowingly raised Julia's son instead.The story turns next to Albert Fish, born in 1870 and later known as the Brooklyn Vampire, who spent decades torturing, killing, and cannibalizing children after enduring severe abuse in a New York orphanage as a boy. In 1928, posing as a farmer named Frank Howard, Fish lured ten-year-old Grace Budd away from her family and killed her; he wasn't identified until November 1934, when a letter he sent to Grace's mother describing the murder in graphic detail was traced back to him. Fish was executed in the electric chair at Sing Sing Prison on January 16th, 1936.Following that, the episode covers the unresolved 1945 Sodder children case in Fayetteville, West Virginia, where a Christmas Eve house fire killed, or apparently killed, five of George and Jennie Sodder's nine children. No bones were ever recovered from the wreckage despite a coroner attributing the deaths to the blaze, and the family spent decades chasing tips and alleged sightings after strangers had made ominous threats about the house burning down in the months before the fire. George and Jennie erected a billboard along Route 16 asking for information and died in 1968 and 1989, respectively, without ever learning their children's fate.From there, the story turns to Anatoly Moskvin, a Russian journalist and college professor fluent in thirteen languages who dubbed himself a "necropolyst" and visited 752 cemeteries around his hometown of Nizhny Novgorod. Moskvin was arrested in 2011 after police investigating the desecration of Muslim graves found him painting over photographs of the dead; a search of the apartment he shared with his parents turned up the mummified remains of 29 women and girls, dressed, made up with buttons for eyes, and fitted with music boxes inside their chests. Moskvin told investigators he dug up the bodies because he was lonely and confessed to 44 counts of abusing graves and corpses.The episode clos

The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy begins with two radically different accounts of the same tragedy. Prosecutors allege that Clancy deliberately created a window of time, sent her husband away, and methodically killed their three children before attempting to take her own life. The defense does not dispute that she caused the children's deaths. Instead, it argues that months of deteriorating mental health, severe insomnia, suicidal thinking, psychiatric treatment, medication changes, and alleged command hallucinations culminated in psychosis.In this Profiling Evil review, we examine the opening statements point by point: what each side claims, how the same facts are framed differently, and what the prosecution must prove to establish criminal responsibility.

One of the saddest Utah cases in the news over the past couple of years has been the death of 12-year-old Gavin Peterson.

And now, the prosecutors on the case are sharing their experiences and the emotional toll this has had on them. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas has a lot of experience working with crime victims over the years; he also discusses the kind of emotional toll they have on him on a personal level.

The second half of Patrick Clancy's cross-examination played out today in the trial of his wife, Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling their three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, with defense attorney Kevin Reddington arguing severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication drove her actions.Reddington used the second round to hammer home themes from earlier in the day. Patrick reaffirmed that Lindsay dreaded going back to work, driven by a fear of being away from her kids rather than anything resembling detachment. He was also asked again about her medication — and confirmed once more that the limited number of pills she took from each prescription came down to physician direction, not her own decision to cut back.Repetition is a strategy here, not an accident. Reddington isn't introducing new information — he's making sure the jury can't walk away from this stretch of testimony without absorbing the "doctor's orders" framing.Prosecutors, for their part, still have to convince the jury she understood the nature of her actions that day. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Lindsay Clancy trial testimony started with a father describing his three children to a jury, and ended with a prosecutor reading him pharmacy counts off nine bottles. Patrick Clancy was the Commonwealth's very first witness in Plymouth Superior Court, and the afternoon did not go the way an opening witness usually goes. Prosecutors asked him to describe Cora, Dawson, and Callan. He needed a moment before he could. Then the questions turned to prescriptions, and the state entered a bag of pill bottles into the record. Seven gone from one. Six out of thirty from another. One bottle that had never been opened. The prosecutor asked him point blank whether he understood that a lot had been prescribed and very little had been taken. He agreed, and then said the context was important. Here is why that exchange is the whole trial in miniature. The state wants those counts to prove she cannot blame medication she was not swallowing. The defense wants those same counts to prove that prescriptions were flying out of multiple offices with nobody checking what was actually happening to the woman receiving them. Same exhibit, two completely different cases. This episode walks the counts, the September conversation about a prescription that turned out to have been filled a day earlier, the family videos the state used to argue she was fine, and the reason a jury may hear that footage differently than prosecutors intend. We also cover what Patrick Clancy said about telehealth appointments, what he never got told about his wife's hospital stay, and the number he gave investigators that sent him looking for a lawyer.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

New jail footage has surfaced in the Ohio "House of Horrors" child endangerment case. Elizabeth Siders, Gary Siders Jr., Christina Siders, and Gary Siders Sr. face 16 felony counts after authorities say 16 children were found in severe squalor. The defense says this is poverty being criminalized. Prosecutors say the conditions crossed a very serious legal line. Scott breaks down the charges, the defense strategy, the gag order, and what happens next.

There is a bag sitting in evidence at the Lindsay Clancy trial that both lawyers are going to reach for, and it holds nine prescription bottles that are almost completely full. That bag went into the record on the first day of testimony, entered by the prosecution, in front of the father of the three children who died. Patrick Clancy took the stand as the Commonwealth's opening witness. Prosecutors walked him through the marriage, the three deliveries, the maternity leaves, and the anxiety that arrived every single time his wife had to go back to work as a nurse. Then they handed him the pill bottles. The counts came out one at a time. Seven gone from a Zoloft prescription filled in September of 2022. Six out of thirty gone from an Ativan prescription filled in October. A bottle with two gone, a bottle with three, a bottle that had never been opened at all. Asked whether he knew any of those numbers, he said no, and added that context mattered. Nobody was counting. That is the whole case in one sentence, and both sides know it. This episode takes the exhibit apart and shows you why the state's strongest piece of paperwork might be the defense's too, why the family videos the prosecution played work against the argument they were played to support, and what Patrick Clancy told investigators that eventually sent him to a lawyer's office. It also covers the sentence the state pulled out of him about how his wife seemed the day everything happened, and why a jury of twelve women and six men is going to hear expert testimony fight over those few words for weeks.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Part two of Patrick Clancy's cross-examination continued today in the murder trial of his wife, Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling their three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is building an insanity defense around severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington picked up where he left off, still working to establish that Lindsay's actions in the months before the killings were driven by fear and instability, not calculation. Patrick again testified that she was afraid to return to work — not because she resented the job, but because the thought of being separated from her children was too much for her to handle. Reddington also returned to the medication issue, reinforcing through Patrick that Lindsay only took a few pills of each prescription because that's what her doctors told her to do, not because she was refusing treatment.It's a continuation, not a pivot — the defense is laying the same brick twice to make sure it holds. A jury that hears "doctor's orders" once might forget it. A jury that hears it reinforced across multiple lines of questioning is a different story.Prosecutors still have to convince that jury she understood what she was doing that day. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down.

Lindsay Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Patrick Clancy testified he found his wife outside the home, bloody and broken, after she allegedly jumped from a second-story window in an apparent suicide attempt that left her paralyzed from the waist down. He then went inside and found his children in the basement. The courtroom didn't need dramatic questioning to feel the weight of that testimony — the facts alone carried it. Patrick delivered his account without theatrics, which somehow made it land harder.What the defense is building toward isn't a dispute over what Patrick found — it's an argument about what his wife's mind was doing to her that day. Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, and after her own attempted suicide, Clancy survived paralyzed from the waist down. Patrick has since relocated to Manhattan and spoken to The New Yorker about her mental health in the lead-up to the deaths. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick Clancy took the stand again today — this time under cross-examination from defense attorney Kevin Reddington — in the murder trial of his wife, Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling their three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and Reddington is arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time.Where the prosecution used Patrick to lay out a timeline, the defense used him to humanize it. He testified that Lindsay dreaded returning to work — not out of ambition or obligation, but because she couldn't stand being separated from the children. Reddington then walked him through her mental health after each of the three births, and got him to confirm something specific: the reason she only took a handful of pills from each prescription wasn't resistance to treatment. It was physician instruction.That distinction is the whole ballgame for an insanity defense. "She wasn't compliant" and "she was compliant with a shifting set of doctor's orders" tell two very different stories to a jury.Prosecutors still need to convince that jury she knew right from wrong that day. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to last several weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Prosecutors are building the case one ordinary moment at a time. Today, that meant two witnesses in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy — the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children, Cora (5), Dawson (3), and Callan (7 months), with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and is pursuing an insanity defense through attorney Kevin Reddington centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Angela Krause, general manager of the CVS in Kingston, testified that Clancy called the pharmacy directly to ask about a specific medication. Investigators separately requested surveillance footage from the day Patrick Clancy came in to pick that prescription up — a detail the jury now has, with no explanation yet of what it's meant to show.Then Saria Sweeney Shelgren, a hostess at ThreeV restaurant in Plymouth, testified she took an order from Clancy that same night. Her voice, Shelgren said, wasn't slurred or impaired. A man picked the food up. It's not a dramatic detail on its own, but it's exactly the kind of thing the state wants on record when the defense is arguing psychiatric breakdown.That's the pattern with this stretch of testimony: timeline, timeline, timeline. Prosecutors are stacking small, verifiable facts to account for every hour before three children were killed. Afterward, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick Clancy, husband of Lindsay Clancy, returned to the stand today in the murder trial of the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling their three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is building an insanity defense around claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Today it was Reddington's turn to ask the questions, and he used Patrick to reinforce the defense's narrative rather than attack it. Patrick testified that Lindsay was afraid to go back to work because she didn't want to be away from the kids — the kind of detail that reads very differently depending on which side is building the story around it. The defense also walked him through her mental state after each birth, and got him to confirm that when she only took a few pills of each prescription, it wasn't defiance — it was because a physician told her to.That last point matters. It's the difference between "she wasn't taking her medication" and "she was following doctor's orders while doctors kept adjusting what she was on." Reddington knows exactly which version he wants the jury to remember.Prosecutors still have to convince twelve people that Lindsay Clancy understood what she was doing that day. After the killings, she allegedly tried to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick Clancy took the stand today in the murder trial of his wife, Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling their three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Patrick testified he came home to find his wife outside the house, bloody and broken — she'd allegedly just jumped from a second-story window in an attempted suicide that left her paralyzed from the waist down. He then went inside and found his three children in the basement. There's no version of that walk-through that doesn't stay with a person. He didn't editorialize on the stand. He didn't need to. Prosecutors let the sequence of events do the talking, and it landed exactly the way they wanted it to.The defense isn't disputing what Patrick found. They're disputing what was happening in Lindsay's mind when it happened, which is its own kind of brutal argument to sit through as the husband and father. Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. Patrick has since relocated to Manhattan and spoken publicly, including to The New Yorker, about his wife's mental health leading up to that day. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to run several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

He answered yes when a judge asked if he was guilty. Now Bryan Kohberger says he was talked into it.About a year after his sentencing on four consecutive life terms, Kohberger filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court, representing himself. He says his confession was false and that his actual innocence is his truth.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, who led the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, work through what the filing actually argues and what the wording of it reveals.The petition rests on ineffective assistance of counsel. Kohberger alleges his defense team did not disclose or review evidence that would have helped him. He alleges he was given a distorted account of what a life sentence and death row in Idaho involve. He points to threats and false promises as the reason he pleaded at all.The discussion covers the practical question underneath all of it. He waived his appeal rights in the agreement, but a waiver has never stopped a defendant from attacking the validity of the plea itself. That is the opening he is using, and it was always there.It also covers his statement that he would welcome prosecutors seeking the death penalty again, and what the Goncalves family said in response. They wanted a capital trial from the beginning and have said he simply wants another roll of the dice. Dreeke weighs whether that read holds up behaviorally.Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were killed in November 2022. There was no trial and no motive on the record. Prosecutors could have required him to explain himself as a condition of the deal, and they decided not to. That silence is now part of what the families are living with.Hidden Killers stays with this case as the petition moves through Ada County.

There was one thing David Anthony Burke wanted to know about Celeste Rivas Hernandez's pregnancy, and a detective read his exact words to a Los Angeles courtroom. That is where the d4vd preliminary hearing arrived in its July 24 session, and it is the material this episode walks through in full. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was eleven when the messages with David Anthony Burke began in August 2022. By January 2024, the texts indicate she was pregnant, days from a procedure, telling an adult that neither of them could care for a baby. His reply carried a laugh. His follow-up asked when she would get it done. And his last question in the exchange, the one he said his mother told him to ask, got an answer with his own name in it. Detective Corey Farell, the prosecution's final witness, put all of it on the record, along with nearly fifty images from Burke's devices that investigators labeled illegal material involving a minor, described to the court but never displayed. Earlier in the session, Dr. Grant Ho testified that Celeste died from two sharp-force wounds, and that the condition of her remains left questions no examination can settle. Her parents stepped out for the autopsy testimony. They came back for the texts. Her mother cried, and her father looked down. Prosecutors say the fingers missing from Celeste's hand carried a tattoo of Burke's name in red ink, and they wrote in a brief that they believe that is why the fingers were gone. Burke has pleaded not guilty to every charge, his attorneys challenged the evidence at every step, and the bindover ruling arrives when the hearing closes. This is the full account of the day the texts became public, and the day this case stopped being about a Tesla.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

You can't claim self-defense if you started the fight. In most jurisdictions, if you're seen as the first aggressor, you may lose the legal protections that justify the use of force—even if you find yourself in imminent danger later. Prosecutors may frame the incident as “mutual combat,” which undermines your self-defense claim. To stay protected under the law, you must be reacting to a threat, not instigating one.

Frederick Freeman was sitting in St. Clair County Jail pending his April 1987 trial. He was facing first-degree murder charges in the death of St. Clair Community College student Scott Macklem, a member of a prominent Croswell, MI family. The motive for the killing seemed improbably thin; Port Huron police asserted that Freeman had shot the young man out of jealousy, based on his brief, two-month relationship with Macklem's fiancée, Crystal Merrill. The real hurdle was the fact that Freeman was seen 436 miles away right about the time of the shooting. Combined with the fact that no credible evidence of Fred's guilt could be found, the case should have been quite difficult to prove. However, the prosecution had a novel approach to presenting their case, and a truly imaginative theory of how a cash-strapped, 23-year-old who sometimes landed on the wrong side of the law could have accomplished what seemed to be impossible...

Lindsay Clancy's husband, Patrick, testified today in her murder trial — the case out of Duxbury, Massachusetts where prosecutors allege she strangled her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty, and her defense — led by Kevin Reddington — is built on an insanity claim: severe postpartum psychosis, they say, made worse by psychiatric overmedication.Patrick's testimony centered on the timeline of prescriptions Lindsay was put on in the weeks before the killings, and how often the plan changed. Several medications, he said, were reportedly taken only a few times before being dropped or swapped for something else — a revolving door of adjustments that, allegedly, never had time to actually work. He also spoke to the family's efforts to get her additional intervention, testimony the defense will likely lean on hard when it argues she wasn't in a position to understand what she was doing.Prosecutors, for their part, are expected to argue she did understand, medication chaos or not. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Patrick was running errands when it happened and has since relocated to Manhattan, where he's spoken publicly about his wife's mental health. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty, and her defense — led by Kevin Reddington — is built on an insanity claim: severe postpartum psychosis, they say, made worse by psychiatric overmedication.Most of the day was procedural — Patrick laying out the timeline of prescriptions and the family's attempts to get Lindsay help before January 24, the kind of testimony the defense will eventually try to use to their advantage. Then it stopped being procedural. Patrick got emotional describing his children, more than once, and needed a moment to compose himself in front of the jury. Court is now in recess until Wednesday morning at 9 AM EDT, when he's set to continue testifying for the prosecution.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions regardless of what her medication history looked like. After the killings, she allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down.

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial officially got underway this week with opening statements in Plymouth Superior Court. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, and has pleaded not guilty. Her defense, led by attorney Kevin Reddington, rests on an insanity claim: that Clancy was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication when the killings happened.Prosecutors weren't interested in letting that framing sit unchallenged. Assistant District Attorney Shanan Buckingham opened by telling jurors this was a premeditated act, not the product of a psychotic break — setting up the central question the entire trial will hinge on. Every witness, every piece of evidence going forward gets filtered through that split: did Clancy's mind fail her, or did she make a choice. Buckingham's opening didn't waste time easing into it.After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, an act that left her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands when it happened and has since relocated to Manhattan, where he's spoken publicly about her mental health struggles. The trial, presided over by Judge William F. Sullivan, is expected to stretch across several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy spent her career as a labor and delivery nurse helping mothers through the most vulnerable moments of their lives. Prosecutors say that same job is proof she knew exactly how to work the people who were supposed to save her. She's charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan, at their Duxbury, Massachusetts home on January 24, 2023. She's pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. Roughly three months before the killings, prosecutors say she typed something about her older children into her phone, a note a prosecutor later read aloud in court. The Commonwealth's case leans on the mundane: a text at 4:53 saying she didn't feel like cooking, a takeout order at 5:10, her husband out the door at 5:15 for dinner and a pharmacy run, back a little after six. Prosecutors say she measured that window using the exact clinical composure her job trained into her. The defense says she'd been begging that same medical system for help for weeks and was handed prescriptions instead. She's permanently paralyzed after going out a second-story window the night her children died. If convicted of first-degree murder, Massachusetts law gives the judge no discretion: mandatory life without parole. If she's found not criminally responsible, she's committed to a locked state psychiatric hospital instead, not set free. She's already been in state custody since 2023. Jury selection began July 20 in Plymouth Superior Court. The job that once meant she saved lives is now the state's argument for why she took some. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick Clancy, husband of Lindsay Clancy, took the stand today in the murder trial of the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Patrick walked jurors through the timeline of prescriptions and interventions in the weeks leading up to January 24 — the plan that kept changing, the medications that came and went before anyone could tell if they were doing anything. But the testimony that actually landed in that courtroom wasn't clinical. It was Patrick, describing his kids, and having to stop more than once because he couldn't get through it. Court broke for the day after that, and it picks back up Wednesday morning at 9 AM EDT, when he returns to finish testifying for the prosecution.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.

Patrick Clancy, husband of Lindsay Clancy, took the stand today in the murder trial of the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Patrick walked jurors through a timeline that's supposed to explain how his wife went from new mother to someone psychiatrists were allegedly cycling through medication after medication, adjustment after adjustment, in the weeks before the killings. The detail that's going to stick with people: several of those prescriptions were reportedly taken only a handful of times before being swapped out or discontinued — a system, allegedly, that kept changing the plan faster than anyone could tell if it was working. He also described what he says were the family's attempts to get her real help, for whatever that's worth against what actually happened.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Patrick was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Opening statements began this week in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Assistant District Attorney Shanan Buckingham used her opening to lay out the state's core argument: this was not a woman lost to psychosis, it was a deliberate act. Prosecutors are expected to build their case around the idea that Clancy understood exactly what she was doing that day — a direct challenge to the psychiatric narrative the defense has spent months building. It's the fight this trial was always going to come down to: was this a mind that broke, or a mind that decided. Buckingham just made clear which side of that line the prosecution intends to stand on, and she's not planning to hedge.After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court before Judge William F. Sullivan, is expected to run several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

If Lindsay Clancy is convicted of first-degree murder, a Massachusetts judge has no room to weigh in on her sentence at all. The charge carries mandatory life without parole. Not the illness, not the medication, not the wheelchair, not a single fact about who she was before January 24, 2023, when Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan died at their Duxbury, Massachusetts home. The judge doesn't get a say. Neither does the jury, once they've reached that verdict. Lindsay is pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. She's a former labor and delivery nurse. Prosecutors say roughly three months before the killings, she typed something about her older children into her phone, a note a prosecutor later read aloud in court. The defense says she'd been begging the medical system for help for weeks and was handed prescriptions instead. She's permanently paralyzed after going out a second-story window the night her children died. The other possible outcome isn't freedom either. A finding of not criminally responsible sends her to a locked state psychiatric hospital with periodic reviews to determine whether she can ever safely return to a community. She's already been in state custody since 2023. Two rigid outcomes, and nothing in between since prosecutors dropped the lesser charges that once existed. Jury selection began July 20 in Plymouth Superior Court, and whichever way this goes, one number, life without parole or indefinite commitment, is the only thing waiting on the other side. Patrick Clancy is on the defense witness list. He and Lindsay have separately sued her healthcare providers, arguing the treatment she received played a direct role in what happened. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There used to be a middle ground in the Lindsay Clancy case. As of July 9, there isn't one anymore. Prosecutors dropped all three strangulation charges against Lindsay Clancy that day, calling them redundant. What that filing actually did was erase the space between the two remaining verdicts: life without parole, or not criminally responsible. No compromise. No lesser finding for the jury to land on if they're not fully convinced either way. Lindsay is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan, at their Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023. She's pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. She'd checked herself into a psychiatric hospital on New Year's Eve after telling her husband she was having thoughts of hurting her children. She was discharged. Nineteen days later, the children were dead. Her attorney puts her medication count at roughly thirteen psychiatric drugs across about four months, with a dose increase and a sleepless night the day before it happened. The narrowing didn't stop there. On July 13, the judge blocked women who've survived postpartum psychosis from testifying about the condition in their own words. On July 20, the first morning of jury selection, prosecutors moved to challenge the defense's own experts, the third motion in eleven days aimed at limiting Lindsay's defense. Patrick Clancy, her husband, is on the defense witness list. He's also suing her healthcare providers and has publicly asked people to forgive her. Two jurors were seated by lunch. The trial is expected to run four to eight weeks, and whatever verdict comes out of it, there's no door left open in between. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The day before Lindsay Clancy killed her three children, her medication was increased. Nobody has fully explained why that decision was made, or by whom. She'd already been on roughly thirteen different psychiatric drugs across about four months. Her own malpractice lawsuit describes that final dose increase, paired with a night without sleep, in the hours before Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months, died in their Duxbury, Massachusetts home. She's pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. She'd checked herself into a psychiatric hospital on New Year's Eve after telling her husband she was having thoughts of hurting her children. She was discharged. Nineteen days later, the children were dead. Jury selection began July 20 in Plymouth Superior Court. That same morning, before a single juror was seated, prosecutors moved to challenge her defense experts, the third motion in eleven days aimed at limiting her defense. Prosecutors had already dropped all three strangulation charges on July 9, calling them redundant, a move that erased any middle ground between the two remaining verdicts: life without parole, or not criminally responsible. On July 13, the judge blocked women who've survived postpartum psychosis from testifying about the illness in their own words. That leaves the jury with paper: prescription records, a dosage change, a malpractice complaint describing exactly how the medication was mishandled. Two jurors were seated by lunch. The trial is expected to run four to eight weeks. Patrick Clancy, her husband, is on the defense witness list. He's also suing her healthcare providers and has publicly asked people to forgive her. Thirteen drugs, one increase, one sleepless night, and a question nobody in that courtroom has fully answered yet. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Prosecutors called two more criminalists and the medical examiner to the stand in Day 3 of the preliminary hearing for singer D4vd, charged with the first degree murder and dismemberment of his underaged girlfriend, Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Before testimony even began, things got testy as a reporter and a private investigator were removed from the courtroom, while the prosecutor was heard threatening another attorney. The judge heard about a strange discovery in D4vd’s home: jugs and trays of fake blood, as investigators continued to testify to the actual blood found with a “strong DNA match” to Rivas Hernandez. The most chilling testimony will continue on Friday as the medical examiner returns to the stand after describing the condition of Celeste’s remains.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
