Neither of these cases will ever answer the question that matters most to the families in them.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent with twenty-one years reading behavior under pressure, cover the Lindsay Clancy trial openings and Bryan Kohberger's petition to withdraw his guilty plea.On Clancy, this works through Patrick Clancy's testimony about the last ordinary day, including the photos traded that morning and his line that she was having one of her best days. It also covers the hospital stay, and the discharge he testified he never knew she had asked for. Cora, Dawson and Callan died in January 2023. Criminal responsibility is the only live question, and the Commonwealth owns that burden.On Kohberger, this covers the handwritten petition filed in Ada County District Court, his claim of actual innocence, and his assertion that he was convinced to falsely confess. It also covers the letter Latah County prosecutors sent the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, promising the plea would spare them decades of post-conviction appeals. There was never a trial and there has never been a motive on the record.In Plymouth, a chain of licensed professionals made every call and faces nothing. In Boise, an office traded away a trial and guaranteed an ending it could not deliver. One family will never hear why. The other is watching a man they were told was finished file paperwork to start it all again.The Clancy trial has weeks to run and the Kohberger petition is still pending, so neither of these ends here.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
One episode, two cases, and the same question running through both.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, who led the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, cover the Lindsay Clancy trial openings and Bryan Kohberger's move to undo his guilty plea.The Clancy portion covers Patrick Clancy's testimony about January 24, 2023. A doctor's appointment with Cora. Photos traded by text. A snowman in the yard. His statement that she was having one of her best days. It also covers the discharge he did not know she had requested, granted days before their daughter's fifth birthday party. Cora, Dawson and Callan died in January 2023 and the circumstances are not in dispute. Criminal responsibility is the entire fight, and Massachusetts puts that burden on the state.The Kohberger portion covers the handwritten petition he filed on his own in Ada County District Court, in which he claims actual innocence and says he was convinced to falsely confess. It also covers the letter Latah County prosecutors sent the families before the plea, promising it would spare them decades of post-conviction appeals. Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were killed in November 2022, and there has never been a motive on the record.The two are connected without pretending they are the same crime. In one, every clinical decision was made by someone who will never be a defendant. In the other, an office made a guarantee it had no authority to make. Neither institution will be cross-examined. Both of them decided how these cases would go, and both of them told the families it was handled.Both sets of families were left with the same feeling. Neither of these is finished.

Start with the paperwork instead of the crime scenes. In 2008 an Ohio judge approved a marriage for a girl who was fifteen and seven months pregnant. In 2024 California deputies documented that they had told David Burke how old Celeste Rivas Hernandez really was. Two records, two dead ends.One full conversation covering both the d4vd case in Los Angeles and the Siders 16 kids case in Vinton County, Ohio.The evidence segment walks through what a preliminary hearing has put in front of a judge. An LAPD criminalist testified that presumptive testing produced strong reactions on the rubber mats covering a Hollywood Hills garage floor and on the bricks under them. There were positives on a rowing machine, a green tarp, a charging cord and a trash bag containing wipes. A blue inflatable pool with nothing visible on it glowed in one area, and a second criminalist matched plastic fragments from the autopsy into the cuts in that pool. Blair Berk's entire cross has been about what nobody tested.The second segment goes back to who David Burke was. Homeschooled after seventh grade, raised on gospel music until thirteen, signed to a major label at seventeen, and the author of an alter ego named Itami who commits murders in his own videos.The third brings in retired FBI special agent Robin Dreeke for Ohio. Sixteen children removed from a home in Hamden. A room measuring roughly twelve feet by twelve, according to the sheriff. An attorney general who said waiting longer would very likely have meant a death or multiple deaths. Four adults charged with sixteen counts of endangering children each, all pleading not guilty.Two files, two states, and the same missing piece in both of them.Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing through his attorneys. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger is not blaming the evidence. He is blaming the people who told him to sign.In a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief filed in Ada County District Court, Kohberger claims he received ineffective assistance from his defense team. He says evidence in his favor was never disclosed or reviewed. He says he was convinced to confess to something he did not do. He is representing himself. He told the New York Times his actual innocence is his truth.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, work through who exactly is being accused here and what that accusation costs.Anne Taylor represented Kohberger at the time of the plea. Her office has declined to comment. She is being blamed in the national press by a former client while her own ethics rules keep her from answering a word of it. That happens to defense lawyers every time a client turns, and almost nobody covers it.The breakdown also covers the rest of the filing. He claims he was given a distorted account of what a life sentence and death row in Idaho would look like. And he says he would welcome prosecutors seeking the death penalty against him again, which is the outcome the plea deal existed to prevent.The four students killed in Moscow in November 2022 were Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. There was never a trial, never a cross-examination, and no motive was ever required of him. Everything the public knows about that night comes from investigators, and Kohberger now calls their account a work of fiction.True Crime Today follows this case through every filing and hearing with the analysis that explains what each one means.

Someone approved Lindsay Clancy's discharge. That decision has not been on trial, and it may never be.She entered Massachusetts General on New Year's Eve 2022 after telling her husband she was having intrusive thoughts about hurting their children, and was transferred to McLean early on January 1. On January 5, after asking to go home, she was released with an appointment scheduled for the following day.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, work through what that release was built on.Patrick Clancy testified he did not know his wife had asked to leave. He said he was unaware she had been offered daily one-on-one therapy and unaware she had turned down additional group sessions. He said that from what he saw and heard, it did not seem like she was being treated, with a weekend and an observed holiday delaying her first doctor visit.She reported to providers that the thoughts had passed. Her daughter's fifth birthday party was two days after she got home. Cora died seventeen days after the party.Dreeke spent a career deciding whether people were being honest about their own state of mind. He explains what a clinician can actually confirm, and what every hospital is left guessing at.Cora had just turned five. Dawson was three. Callan was eight months old. Nobody disputes how they died. The only question for this jury is what their mother understood at the time, and the Commonwealth has to prove it.Subscribe to True Crime Today for coverage of the expert testimony ahead in this trial.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before any of it, there was a snowman.Patrick Clancy testified that on the afternoon of January 24, 2023, his wife built one in the yard with their three children and then did art projects with them inside. That morning she had taken five-year-old Cora to a doctor's appointment while he stayed home with the boys, and the two of them had traded photos by text. Three-year-old Dawson had dressed himself for the first time.He told the jury she was having one of her best days.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, work through what that afternoon is worth to each side.The Commonwealth wants it as proof of a clear mind. Assistant District Attorney Shanan Buckingham told jurors this was not a woman in the throes of psychosis. The defense needs those same hours to point somewhere else.The episode also covers what prosecutors say happened after the art projects. A drive plotted from the house to a restaurant nobody in the family had tried, then on to a pharmacy. A shopping list with dinner on it and children's medicine under it. An errand that emptied the house.Dreeke takes on the behavioral question directly. What does a genuinely good day tell you about the mind having it, and what does it fail to tell you?Cora was five. Dawson was three. Callan was eight months old. Their mother has pleaded not guilty and does not dispute causing their deaths, which leaves a jury of twelve women and six men to decide what she understood while it happened.The trial is expected to run six to eight weeks.Subscribe to True Crime Today for coverage of the expert testimony ahead.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
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.

"She was having one of her best days." That is how Patrick Clancy described January 24, 2023 to the jury deciding whether his ex-wife is criminally responsible for the deaths of their three children.He described a morning where Dawson dressed himself for the first time and the parents texted photos back and forth, Lindsay from a pediatric appointment with Cora. He described the snowman in the yard that afternoon and the art projects after it. He said she had been back at the gym and sleeping better.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, who ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, work through what a day like that is worth as evidence.The Commonwealth is building on it. Assistant District Attorney Shanan Buckingham told jurors this was not a woman in the throes of psychosis, and pointed to competence and normalcy that day as proof of a mind that understood itself. The defense has to make the same hours mean something else.The episode also covers what prosecutors say followed. A route mapped between home, a restaurant the family had never ordered from, and a CVS. Searches for takeout and children's medicine. An errand that took Patrick out of the house.Dreeke spent a career reading people in their worst moments, and his answer on what a good day indicates is not the comfortable one for either side.Cora, Dawson and Callan died that evening.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The connection between these two cases is not the crime. It is the signature. Ohio put a marriage license in front of a judge for a fifteen-year-old who was seven months pregnant, and it was approved. California deputies documented telling David Burke how old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was, and filed it.Everything in one place: the d4vd evidence conversation, the David Burke origin conversation, and the Siders 16 kids conversation with retired FBI special agent Robin Dreeke.Start in a Los Angeles courtroom, where an LAPD criminalist described spraying a Hollywood Hills garage and watching the floor mats react, then the bricks underneath. Then a rowing machine, a green tarp, a charging cord, and a trash bag holding wipes and a scrap of fabric. A blue inflatable pool that looked untouched still produced a glow, and a second criminalist fitted plastic fragments from the autopsy into the cuts in it. Blair Berk went at everything nobody swabbed, nobody collected, nobody compared. Tony and Robin make the defense answer for every item.Then the harder question. Who was David Burke before any of it? Homeschooled after seventh grade. A social life built on screens. A record deal at seventeen. An alter ego named Itami, described in his own words as an agent of chaos, who commits murders in his videos.Then Ohio. Sixteen children, eighteen months to eighteen years, removed from a house in Hamden after a warrant tied to an unrelated matter. A room the sheriff said measured roughly twelve by twelve. An attorney general who said waiting longer would very likely have meant a death or multiple deaths. Four adults charged with sixteen counts of endangering children apiece. All four pleaded not guilty.Different states, different worlds, one identical failure sitting in the middle of both files.Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A search warrant tied to an unrelated matter brought deputies to a house on Ohmer Street in Hamden, Ohio. They came out with sixteen children, ages eighteen months to eighteen years, and arrested four adults: the grandfather, the grandmother, the father and the mother. Each was charged with sixteen counts of endangering children, and all four have pleaded not guilty.The next day, Ohio's attorney general put a timeline on it in public. Based on what he had seen, he said, waiting a specific amount of time longer carried a very high probability of a death or multiple deaths of those children.Retired FBI special agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony to work through what kind of thinking produces a house like that. Dreeke ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, and his entire career has been about understanding motivation rather than reciting it.The sheriff said the children were kept for most of four years in a room about twelve feet by twelve feet, and that most of the livestock in his county was kept in better conditions. The attorney general called the conditions almost indescribable.The defense frame is completely different. Elizabeth Siders' attorney says this is poverty and isolation rather than evil, and that evil requires malice. He also says his client is the mother of all sixteen children. She was fifteen in 2008 when a judge signed off on her marriage to an eighteen-year-old.Court records show more than one teenage marriage in this family across two generations. The school district has no record that any of the sixteen were ever enrolled. Investigators say the family avoided building medical and government records for nearly two decades.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Ohio's attorney general did not hedge. Sixteen children were taken out of a home on Ohmer Street in Hamden, and Andy Wilson did not soften what came next. Based on what he had seen, he said, waiting a certain amount of time longer carried a very high probability of a death, or multiple deaths, inside that house.That statement is the spine of this conversation. Tony is joined by Robin Dreeke, the retired FBI special agent who ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program and has spent a career answering the question of why people do what they do.The facts are not in much dispute. Sixteen children, from eighteen months to eighteen years. A room the sheriff described as roughly twelve by twelve, where he said they had been kept for most of four years. A sheriff's line about livestock in his county being kept better. An attorney general calling it pure evil.Four adults charged with sixteen counts each of endangering children. Four not guilty pleas.What is in dispute is what it means. Elizabeth Siders' attorney argues this is poverty and isolation rather than evil, and that evil requires malice. Poverty, though, does not teach a family to move across counties and leave no school records and no medical records behind for the better part of two decades.Hamden is a town of about seven hundred people. Relatives say they visited and noticed nothing. The school district has no record that any of the sixteen children were ever enrolled.Dreeke and Tony take all of it apart, including the hardest question in the case: whether a person can be shaped into something and still answer for it.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three cases dominating the national conversation. Three investigations where the questions outnumber the answers. And one retired FBI Special Agent who isn't bound by any gag order, any jurisdiction dispute, or any institutional concern.Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke for an extended discussion covering the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, the Nolan Wells investigation, and the Siders family case.On Clancy: the prosecution says she mapped her husband's errand. The defense says nine medications caused psychosis she couldn't control. The judge blocked other mothers from testifying and refused to split the trial. Jury selection is four days out.On Nolan Wells: friends left him on Horn Island without a phone or water. His body was found two days later. The friends' stories conflict. His Snapchat was allegedly erased. The FBI is analyzing digital evidence. Ben Crump's team says the case goes to a grand jury.On the Siders: sixteen children found in a twelve-by-twelve room in Ohio. Some nonverbal. DNA testing is underway after the AG labeled it "intrafamily." One defendant's attorney secured a gag order covering every official in the case. Elizabeth Siders was thirteen when her first child was born.Coffindaffer addresses each case from a federal investigative standpoint — what the evidence actually proves, where the gaps are, and who is being protected by the silence. This is the full conversation covering every segment in one discussion.Three cases. Zero easy answers. One agent who has spent a career finding them anyway.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nolan Wells was supposed to come home from Horn Island after the Fourth of July. His friends left. He stayed. Two days later, a park ranger found him in the water — and the story the group told investigators started falling apart almost immediately.Multiple friends from the boat trip have given conflicting accounts of what happened on the island. The family says Nolan's Snapchat data was erased after his death. The FBI is conducting forensic analysis on his phone, and death threats tied to the case are under separate investigation. Attorney Ben Crump retained by the family says the case will go to a grand jury.Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired FBI Special Agent, joins Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke to examine the investigation's biggest vulnerability: the people closest to Nolan Wells cannot agree on what happened. Coffindaffer assesses whether the Snapchat allegation holds investigative weight, what the FBI's role actually is when jurisdiction belongs to the local sheriff despite the island being federal land, and why the public's rush to assign motive — racial or otherwise — may be obscuring what the evidence actually shows.Over sixty witnesses have been interviewed. Two autopsies are pending — one from the state, one independent.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Months after Rob and Michele Reiner were found stabbed in their own home, their son Nick's case still hadn't reached a preliminary hearing — and the reason is striking. The autopsy reports weren't finished, terabytes of discovery were still changing hands, and the whole proceeding got pushed to the fall. This look back unpacks what a delay like that actually tells you.Eric Faddis — criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor — joins to read the tea leaves. Is the holdup routine, or is the defense using the time to build something? Given Nick's documented history of schizoaffective disorder and a prior conservatorship, is a mental health defense effectively inevitable? And what does it do to a victim's family when the system can't even finish the paperwork on how their loved ones died? Jake, Romy, and Tracy have been watching this crawl forward one postponed date at a time.We revisit where things stood at the time of our reporting, then turn to the more disturbing thread running alongside it. According to tabloid reports carried across several outlets, Nick is allegedly planning a tell-all from his cell aimed at the siblings who cut him off. Retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke breaks down the contradiction: someone reportedly described as almost childlike behind bars, allegedly driven at the same time by something that looks a lot like a vendetta. We treat that reporting as the unverified tabloid sourcing it is — and ask what it would reveal if it's true.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

His attorney said it out loud: pleading guilty to killing eight women was a "sense of relief" for Rex Heuermann. Not sorrow. Not a reckoning. Relief — as if the admission freed him from something he'd been carrying rather than confronting what he'd done. This look back, with retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke, reads that word choice for what it reveals about the person inside the plea.Dreeke breaks down the behavioral framework — what "relief" signals about how Heuermann relates to what he did, why the documented methodology matters more than the courtroom moment, and what the planning document tells behavioral analysts about a mind that organized murder into checklists with phases for before, during, and after. Prosecutors described one of the most deliberate patterns investigators say they've documented in a serial killing case — all of it stored on a computer in a house where his wife and children lived.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis adds the legal dimension: what the defense actually gained from the plea when the sentence was effectively the same either way, what the FBI cooperation requirement looks like in practice, and what the Behavioral Analysis Unit typically seeks from a convicted serial offender who has agreed to participate. The panel also addresses the wrongful death lawsuit filed against Asa Ellerup and Victoria Heuermann — the civil consequences now flowing from the criminal admission. Heuermann is expected to be sentenced to three consecutive life terms plus an additional hundred years.

There's a contradiction sitting at the center of the Reiner case, and it's the kind retired FBI behavioral chief Robin Dreeke was built to take apart. Reports describe Nick Reiner as almost childlike in custody — unable to fully grasp where he is or why. Yet other reports claim he's simultaneously plotting a revenge tell-all aimed at the family who tried for years to save him. Both can't be the whole truth. So which is it?This look back brings two expert lenses to a case stalled in limbo. First, criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis on the delay itself: a preliminary hearing pushed to the fall, autopsy reports still unfinished months after the deaths, terabytes of discovery in motion, and what all of it signals about the defense's strategy and the near-certainty of a mental health argument given Nick's documented diagnosis and prior conservatorship.Then Robin Dreeke walks through the behavioral profile. We treat the tell-all reporting carefully — it traces to tabloid sources, not the court record — but the contradiction it describes is worth examining: how someone can present as diminished and disconnected while reportedly nursing a calculated grievance. We go through the listener questions you've been sending: about the medication changes before that night, about whether an insanity defense can actually hold here, and about what it means when a family does everything right and still loses everything.

Jeff Dudan's free digital copy of his book What if the FBI's playbook for recruiting spies is actually the ultimate guide to building trust, closing deals, and leading people? In this episode, Jeff Dudan sits down with Robin Dreeke - former FBI behavioral expert and head of the Bureau's elite Behavioral Analysis Program - to break down the exact communication frameworks Robin developed over 22 years working in counterintelligence and spy recruitment. Robin shares his Four Keys of Communication from his book Unbreakable Alliances, explains why inspiration is more powerful than influence or persuasion, and reveals how game theory - starting with kindness - is the most effective negotiation strategy in the world. You'll also learn why resentment is the single most reliable signal that a relationship is failing, how to use 'what' questions to defuse defensiveness, and why pushing someone away in a negotiation is sometimes the fastest way to get them to say yes. Whether you're navigating a merger, managing a team, building a sales process, or just trying to connect more deeply with the people in your life, this conversation delivers a complete operating system for human relationships. Topics covered: • The Four Keys of Communication for building unbreakable alliances • Why manipulation fails and inspiration wins • Game theory: the tit-for-tat strategy that cooperation science proves works • How FBI spy recruiters build trust with hostile targets • The resentment test for healthy vs. unhealthy relationships • Why asking 'what' questions beats 'why' questions in negotiations • The neuroscience of trust: serotonin, oxytocin, dopamine, and endorphins • How to build a personal brand as a problem solver and lighthouse • True crime behavioral analysis and what broken decision-making looks like • Career advice from a behavioral expert for aspiring leaders Homefront Brands: https://www.homefrontbrands.com Jeff Dudan: https://www.jeffdudan.com Guest: Robin Dreeke Guest YouTube Guest Website: https://www.robindreeke.com/ Guest Socials: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rdreeke/ #FBI #NegotiationTips #LeadershipDevelopment #UnbreakableAlliances #RobinDreeke #CommunicationSkills #BuildingTrust #GameTheory #BehavioralScience #SalesStrategy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A licensed psychotherapist and a retired FBI behavioral chief sit down to watch the same morning-show interview millions saw — and read it in a completely different language. This look back at the Kouri Richins case puts that televised grief performance under an expert lens, knowing now that a jury convicted her of murdering the husband she was crying for on camera.Robin Dreeke breaks down the behavioral signals: the language patterns, the delivery, the micro-choices a trained analyst clocks that a casual viewer never would — and why hindsight sharpens every one of them. Shavaun Scott, drawing on decades of clinical work, breaks down the psychology underneath: what it means to perform an emotion you aren't feeling, how a persona is constructed and held together under pressure, and what Kouri's specific decisions in that interview reveal about her internal operating system.The interview was tied to a children's grief book she promoted as her own — testimony later established a ghostwriter produced it. We revisit where the case stood at the time of our reporting and go through the appearance moment by moment. This is a masterclass in deception detection and behavioral reading, using one of the most studied performances in recent true crime as the text. If you've ever wondered what professionals actually see when they watch footage like this, this is the answer.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke take on listener questions across three of the biggest cases in true crime right now: the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping, the Nick Reiner murder charges, and the Alex Murdaugh retrial. One full-length panel discussion covering the details nobody's giving a straight answer on.The Guthrie sheriff told local radio he thinks the FBI arrested people for fake ransom notes — he's not sure. The Reiner case has two popular theories and both have fatal holes. The Murdaugh defense is betting on DNA evidence the state collected and never fully analyzed. In each case, the audience has already decided. In each case, they may have decided too fast.Robin brings decades of FBI behavioral analysis to the discussion. Tony brings the listener questions that cut to the bone. Together they challenge the lazy reads and push into the territory the comments are avoiding.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Three cases the audience has been fighting about. Three details nobody's giving a straight answer on. Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke cover them all in one full-length discussion — Nancy Guthrie, Nick Reiner, and Alex Murdaugh — and challenge the conclusions the comments have already reached.The Guthrie sheriff only “thinks” the FBI arrested people for fake notes — he doesn't know. The Reiner case has split listeners between mental illness and money, and both explanations have holes. The Murdaugh defense is staking the retrial on unknown male DNA under Maggie's fingernails that SLED collected and shelved. Robin brings decades of behavioral analysis to each one.This is the full, uncut panel. Every listener question. Every competing theory. And the reason the easy answers aren't answers at all.

Full-length panel discussion: Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke cover Nancy Guthrie, Nick Reiner, and Alex Murdaugh in one uncut session. They take listener questions across all three cases and push back on the reads the audience has already settled on.In Guthrie, the sheriff says arrests were made for fake notes — but isn't sure, raising questions about how disconnected the agencies are. In Reiner, neither the illness explanation nor the inheritance theory holds up alone. In Murdaugh, untested DNA under Maggie's fingernails is now the centerpiece of the retrial — but does it actually move the needle when his voice already puts him at the scene?Three cases, three easy answers that fall apart under pressure.

Sheriff Nanos says he thinks the FBI has arrested multiple people for sending fake ransom notes in the Nancy Guthrie case. He thinks. The sheriff who has been running this investigation from the start is not certain what the FBI has done on the case he leads. Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke dig into what that disconnect means.The fake-note problem is real — people have exploited this family's nightmare since Nancy disappeared. But Nanos's uncertainty raises its own questions. He's dismissing the TMZ emailer as probably another fraud while acknowledging he's not sure what the FBI has already acted on. Meanwhile Harvey Levin offered to pay the ransom and the FBI told him to back off.Multiple arrests, an agency disconnect, an emailer the FBI reportedly can't dismiss, and a sheriff under recall pressure defending his handling of the case on local radio. Tony and Robin take on the listener questions driving the debate and push into whether the investigation is closer than anyone in charge will admit.

Nick Reiner is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the stabbing deaths of his parents, director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. He has pleaded not guilty. The audience has already reached two competing verdicts of their own: he was psychotic, or he wanted the money.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke challenge both in this discussion. The trust fund motive falls apart when you learn the money was set to pay out on his birthdays regardless — and that he reportedly never claimed what was already his. The mental illness explanation hits the same wall: millions of people carry the same diagnosis and never do this.The conversation digs into the audience's hardest questions. What does it mean when he files a demand from jail for his parents' money to fund his defense? What happened inside the family when his siblings agreed to pay for his lawyer and then reversed course? And is the clean narrative — his father finally said no, and that “no” set him off — too satisfying to be true?

SLED found DNA from an unknown male under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails. They identified it as unrelated to Alex, labeled it, and stopped. Now the defense wants Othram to finish what SLED started. That untested evidence has been sitting in the case file through the entire trial, conviction, and appeal.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke dig into the audience's questions about the Murdaugh retrial. The liar problem sits at the center: a man who deceived everyone around him for years now insists he didn't kill his wife and son. Listeners say a liar's a liar. Robin pushes back on whether lying about money and lying about murder are actually the same thing.They also tackle the kennel lie, the defense's DNA gambit, the venue change fight, and the question that may determine everything: whether a jury that hasn't already been shaped by three years of documentaries and media coverage can even be assembled.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Sheriff Nanos told a local radio host that he thinks the FBI has made “a number of arrests” for fake ransom notes in the Nancy Guthrie case. The word that matters is “thinks.” The lead investigator is not certain what the FBI has done inside his own case. Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke take apart what that uncertainty reveals about the state of this investigation.Nanos dismissed the TMZ emailer as probably another fraud — but if he doesn't know for sure what the FBI has arrested people for, how confident can he be about what's real and what isn't? Meanwhile Harvey Levin offered to pay the Bitcoin and track the money. The FBI ghosted him for a month, then told him to stop because they're making progress.Multiple people have reportedly been arrested. An emailer keeps contacting TMZ from the same IP with claims about video of the suspect with Nancy. The FBI is telling media outlets to stand down. And the sheriff running this case sounds like he's learning about FBI activity from the news. Tony and Robin push into what that disconnect means for finding Nancy Guthrie.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The South Carolina Supreme Court threw out Alex Murdaugh's double-murder conviction after ruling that court clerk Becky Hill tampered with the jury. Now the defense is building the retrial around a piece of evidence the state never fully processed: DNA from an unknown male found under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke work through the audience's hardest questions. Murdaugh has admitted stealing twelve million and lying to everyone close to him for years. His voice is on Paul's phone at the kennels minutes before the shootings, after months of denying he was there. The comments say that's the case. But a caught lie proves concealment. The question is how far concealment actually gets you toward the trigger.Tony and Robin also confront the jury problem. After years of documentaries, podcasts, and a globally televised trial, every potential juror has been soaking in this case. The comments call the retrial a waste. The constitution says he gets one anyway. Whether a genuinely neutral panel can be seated may be the question that determines everything.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Nick Reiner has been charged with stabbing his parents, director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, to death in their Brentwood home. He has pleaded not guilty. And from his jail cell, he has filed a petition demanding over a million dollars from the trust his murdered parents established — money he says he needs to hire private defense counsel.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke sit down to take apart the listener questions driving the debate. The audience is split between two explanations: severe mental illness or cold entitlement. Robin challenges both. The trust money was set to pay out regardless. Nick reportedly never claimed what he was already owed. The schizophrenia diagnosis doesn't explain why millions of others with the same illness never do this.The discussion digs into the details that don't fit either camp: his reported belief that he's a conspiracy target, his surviving siblings reversing their decision to fund his defense, the argument with his father the night before, and whether one rejection from a lifetime of indulgence actually carries the weight people are putting on it.

The defense is building Alex Murdaugh's retrial around evidence SLED collected and never fully analyzed: DNA from an unknown male found under Maggie Murdaugh's left-hand fingernails. They want Othram — the lab behind the Kohberger identification — to run an independent analysis on a rush order.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke take the audience's hardest questions head on. Is a proven liar's denial worth anything? Does his voice on Paul's phone at the kennels prove he's the killer, or just that he was concealing something? The first trial stayed in his home county, and he was convicted. Now his lawyers want out. What went wrong with his read on that room?From prison, he's filed a federal suit against Becky Hill. Listeners smell a fishing trip through discovery to drag others down. Tony and Robin work through whether that's desperation or instinct — and whether a clean jury can even exist after three years of wall-to-wall coverage.

The sheriff leading the Nancy Guthrie investigation went on local radio and said he thinks the FBI has made multiple arrests for fake ransom notes in this case. He's not sure. The lead investigator on a nationally watched kidnapping doesn't know what his federal partners have been doing. Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke sit down to take apart what that agency gap tells you.Nanos is calling the TMZ emailer another fraud while fighting a recall effort over his credibility. The FBI is reportedly spending serious resources to identify that same emailer. Harvey Levin offered to pay the Bitcoin and follow the trail on camera — the FBI went silent for a month, then told him to kill the project because they're “making progress.”Five months in with no body, no arrest, and a million-dollar reward sitting untouched. The people exploiting this case are getting arrested. The agencies running it aren't talking to each other. Tony and Robin work through what's broken and whether the FBI's progress is real.

Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home. Their son, charged with killing them, now wants their money to defend himself against the charge.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke work through the listener questions that have split the audience. Half say the schizophrenia diagnosis closes it. Half say it's pure entitlement. Robin says neither holds up on its own — because the money motive collapses when you learn he never claimed what he was owed, and the illness theory doesn't explain why this man, this house, this night.Nick's surviving siblings first agreed to fund his defense, then pulled the money. His father reportedly cut him off after years of indulgence. He reportedly believes he's the target of a conspiracy. Tony and Robin confront whether the audience's split between “sick” and “entitled” is a false choice — and what they're missing by treating it as either-or.

Alex Murdaugh's defense team has asked a judge to send untested DNA evidence to Othram, the forensic lab that worked the Kohberger case. The sample was found under Maggie Murdaugh's left-hand fingernails. SLED identified it as belonging to an unknown, unrelated male and stopped testing. The defense wants to know who it belongs to.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke take on the audience's most heated questions about the retrial. Can a man who stole twelve million and lied to everyone for years be believed about anything? Does the kennel video — his voice at the scene, minutes before the shots — end the conversation, or does it only prove he was hiding something? And does unknown DNA under the fingernails of his murdered wife change the behavioral read, or is it a distraction the defense is dressing up as a bombshell?The jury question looms over everything. After three years of documentaries and a global media trial, is a neutral jury even possible? The comments are sure they already know the answer — on both sides. Tony and Robin push past the certainty.

A caller provided information about what Nancy Guthrie was wearing. That detail narrows the universe of possible sources dramatically. Someone who knows what an abduction victim was wearing either saw her after she was taken, received a description from someone who did, or was part of the operation. The FBI has been fielding tips since February. This one carries a different weight.Separately, Nancy Guthrie's involvement in pharmaceutical exposure litigation introduces a motive theory that hasn't been publicly addressed. The legal proceedings she participated in involved significant financial stakes and powerful institutional interests. The testimony she provided created the kind of exposure that extends well beyond the courtroom.Robin Dreeke examines the behavioral significance of the clothing detail, what it tells investigators about the caller's relationship to the crime, and whether the pharma exposure connection represents a credible motive track or a coincidence the investigation can set aside.A look back at the most compelling stories of the week.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

An anonymous tip pointed investigators toward a shallow grave south of the border. Nancy Guthrie's home is less than seventy miles from Mexico. She was reportedly taken from her bed, without shoes or medication, in the middle of the night. The logistics required to move an eighty-four-year-old woman across an international border suggest planning, vehicles, and a destination — not a random crime.But the wrong-house theory raises a different possibility entirely. Google Maps pins Nancy's home and her neighbor's at the same address. That neighbor's collection drew the attention of the Jewelers' Security Alliance, which issued a crime alert after Nancy's disappearance and cited the Guthrie family's industry connections. If the masked man on the doorbell camera was looking for the property next door, the Mexico tip and the wrong-house theory may describe two stages of the same botched operation.Robin Dreeke examines whether the two leads are contradictory or complementary, what the behavioral evidence from the doorbell footage reveals about the intruder's preparation, and how investigators prioritize when two credible theories pull an investigation in opposite directions.A look back at the most compelling stories of the week.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A note that reads like a confession. An investigation under its own cloud. Innocent people accused by strangers. And not a single person in handcuffs. The complete legal picture of the Nancy Guthrie case, in one conversation.It's a legal breakdown with defense attorney Eric Faddis and retired FBI special agent Robin Dreeke.Tony Brueski starts with the note sent to a Tucson newsroom — no money demanded, kept quiet for months, and apparently describing how the disappearance of the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie ended. He breaks down whether it can carry a murder case with no body, and how felony-murder law could spare prosecutors from ever proving intent.From there, the defense. The sheriff who ran the search faces a perjury referral to the state Attorney General. The crime scene was loose enough for a reporter to walk to the door. Searches were halted. DNA pointed at the wrong man. Tony explains how those failures become a defense roadmap, and whether they've already cracked the case against whoever eventually gets blamed.And then the casualties no one planned for: a cleared family still called guilty, an innocent schoolteacher named online and harassed at home, and a wave of accusations that — somehow — has produced no lawsuits. Tony lays out who actually has a defamation claim, why a private citizen may have a cleaner case than the famous daughter, and where the online crowd crosses into something a prosecutor can charge.Three fronts, one case, and a confession that still hasn't put anyone in cuffs.Listen now.END_LINKS: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Everything in the Nancy Guthrie case, in one conversation — and at the center of it, a question that should bother everyone: how is there this much, and still no one in custody?This is a legal breakdown featuring attorney Eric Faddis and retired FBI agent Robin Dreeke.Tony Brueski connects the three pieces that only make sense together. First, the note sent to a Tucson newsroom that didn't ask for money and said something investigators guarded for months — the closest thing this case has to an admission of how it ended, and possibly the spine of a no-body homicide charge. Tony explains how a prosecutor proves a death with no remains, and why felony-murder law could remove the need to prove intent at all.Second, the investigation meant to deliver that case. The sheriff who ran it faces a perjury referral to the state Attorney General. A reporter walked right up to the front door. Searches were stopped. DNA pointed at the wrong man. Tony breaks down how those failures become a defense attorney's roadmap, and whether they've already done damage no prosecutor can repair.Third, the people caught in the blast radius. A cleared family still called guilty. An innocent schoolteacher named online as the figure at Nancy's door, with strangers showing up at his home. The sheriff told him to sue — and nobody, to this day, has filed a thing. Tony lays out who actually has a defamation case, why the math so often keeps these claims out of court, and where the online crowd crosses into conduct a prosecutor can charge.A confession on paper, an investigation in question, and a string of innocent people paying for it. This is the full shape of the Nancy Guthrie case.Listen to the complete breakdown.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Two theories are converging on the same conclusion: Nancy Guthrie may not have been the intended target. Her neighbor has maintained a walk-in vault of rare gems at his property for more than four decades. His biggest annual exhibition event coincided with the week Nancy disappeared. The Jewelers' Security Alliance issued a crime alert citing the Guthrie family's industry connections. Google Maps pins both properties at the same address — a mapping anomaly that could mean a crew working off coordinates arrived at the wrong door.Separately, CertiK — a two-billion-dollar blockchain security firm — classified the abduction as a wrench attack by proxy. A crypto-related kidnapping where the victim isn't the asset holder. A six-million-dollar Bitcoin demand. Nancy has no known crypto holdings. The classification implies the attackers were looking for someone connected to cryptocurrency and found an eighty-four-year-old woman instead.Robin Dreeke examines whether the behavioral evidence from the doorbell footage is consistent with an operation that missed its mark, what the forty-five-minute window inside the home tells us about the intruder's purpose, and whether both theories could point to the same criminal infrastructure.A look back at the most compelling stories of the week.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When Nancy Guthrie disappeared, the internet didn't wait for evidence. It picked suspects. One of them was an innocent schoolteacher who had strangers turn up at his front door — and the sheriff's advice to him was blunt: get a lawyer and sue.This is a legal breakdown featuring attorney Eric Faddis and retired FBI agent Robin Dreeke.Tony Brueski examines the legal fallout aimed at the family and the people accusing them, not at whoever took the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie. The Guthrie relatives were officially cleared, yet the accusations kept coming. Tony breaks down what a defamation suit actually requires, why a private citizen falsely connected to a violent crime may have a cleaner case than the famous daughter, and what public-figure status really costs someone trying to fight back.He also tackles the question that hangs over all of it: why hasn't anyone sued? The honest answer is that the worst offenders often hide behind anonymous accounts with nothing to collect, and a judgment against a ghost isn't worth the paper. Tony explains how that changes the calculation, where online speculation crosses into conduct a prosecutor can charge — streamers have already been arrested outside the home — and whether ruining an innocent person's name carries any real consequence at all.This is the side of the case the headlines skip. The crime took one person. The aftermath is taking others.Listen now.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The man who ran the search for Nancy Guthrie is fighting to keep his own office — and a perjury referral is sitting on the state Attorney General's desk. For a defense attorney watching this case, that's not a footnote. That's a gift.It's a legal breakdown with former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis and retired FBI agent Robin Dreeke.Tony Brueski breaks down the legal damage already done to a case that hasn't even produced a suspect. The sheriff leading the investigation into the disappearance of the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie testified under oath about his history as an officer; records surfaced that appeared to tell a different story, and his own county sent the matter to state prosecutors. Tony explains exactly how a defense lawyer uses an investigation overseen by someone whose credibility is now in question.And the problems don't stop with him. A front door a reporter could walk right up to. Cadaver-dog searches halted. DNA that pointed at an innocent man. A custody battle between the local department and the FBI over the evidence. Tony walks through which failures get evidence thrown out, which ones simply hand a jury a reason to doubt, and whether — between all of them — someone may already have an escape hatch built into this case.He also gets at the harder question underneath it: what a community is supposed to do when the person running its biggest case is the one under investigation himself.This is the uncomfortable part of any prosecution: the truth doesn't win on its own. It has to survive the people who collected it.Listen now.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A note arrived at a Tucson television station after Nancy Guthrie vanished from her home. It didn't demand money. It didn't make threats. Investigators believed it was real — and kept its contents quiet for months. Now that what it appears to say is public, it may be the most consequential development in the entire case.It's a legal breakdown with defense attorney Eric Faddis and retired FBI special agent Robin Dreeke.Tony Brueski digs into the legal weight of that note and what it means for a prosecution that still has no one in custody. Can a message sent anonymously, through a server designed to hide the writer, be used as evidence that a crime ended the way the note describes? What does a prosecutor have to do to turn words on a page into proof in a courtroom?This is the state's side of a brutally difficult case: no remains, no arrest, and her family still waiting. Tony walks through how circumstantial evidence builds the body of the crime without a body, why felony-murder law could change what prosecutors must prove, and why experts say a case this visible won't wait for a perfect set of facts before someone is charged.He also lays out the evidence the state already controls — the blood, the pacemaker timestamp, the doorbell footage, the backpack traced to one retailer — and which single piece a smart prosecutor builds the rest of the case around.The note may be the thread that holds it all together. Or it may be the thread a defense attorney pulls first.Listen now.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
For everyone following the Nancy Guthrie case, here's a thread that's gone mostly unexamined: the legal reckoning that may be coming — not for whoever took her, but for the people who turned her family and total strangers into suspects.Joining this legal breakdown are former prosecutor Eric Faddis and retired FBI agent Robin Dreeke.Tony Brueski lays out those roads. Nancy's relatives were cleared early on. Even so, online sleuths zeroed in on a local schoolteacher with no connection to the crime, decided he was the masked figure at her door, and showed up at his home. The sheriff told him plainly to get a lawyer and sue for libel.So why hasn't he — and why hasn't the family? Tony breaks down what a defamation case actually demands, why a private citizen falsely tied to a violent abduction may have a stronger claim than Savannah Guthrie, who as a public figure faces a far higher bar, and why so many of these cases die before they're ever filed. The blunt reality: the loudest accusers are often anonymous and broke, and you can win a lawsuit against them and walk away with nothing.Tony also traces the criminal line — the streamers already arrested outside Nancy's home — and where covering a case from a public street turns into something chargeable. And he sits with the hardest part of it: an innocent man whose name got attached to a violent crime, and a legal system that may not offer him any real way to clean it.This is the human cost of a case the whole country adopted. The people paying it never signed up.The full conversation is inside.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Nancy Guthrie has been declared legally dead. No one has found her. For the people trying to hold someone responsible for what happened inside her Tucson home, that creates a problem most people assume is fatal to a case — and it isn't.This is a legal breakdown featuring attorney Eric Faddis and retired FBI agent Robin Dreeke.Tony Brueski lays out how a prosecutor actually builds a homicide case with no body, no named suspect, and a pile of circumstantial evidence. Blood confirmed to be hers on the porch. A pacemaker that went dark in the middle of the night. A masked figure caught reaching for the camera. A backpack you can only buy in one store. None of it, on its own, names anyone. Together, it might be enough.Then there's the note — the one mailed to a local newsroom that didn't ask for money and instead said something investigators took seriously enough to keep quiet for months. What that note appears to admit may be the closest thing this case has to a confession, and how a prosecutor uses it could decide everything.This is a clear-eyed look at the machinery that grinds behind a high-profile disappearance: the grand jury, the sealed warrants, the lab work that can't be rushed, and the legal theory that could let the state win without ever proving anyone meant for an 84-year-old woman to die. Tony also gets into why the silence the public reads as failure can be exactly what a careful prosecution looks like from the inside.The question isn't whether this case is hard. It's whether hard is the same as impossible.Listen to the full breakdown.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Long before anyone has been charged in the Nancy Guthrie case, the investigation into her disappearance has built a defense attorney's opening argument for them.Joining this legal breakdown are former prosecutor Eric Faddis and retired FBI agent Robin Dreeke.Tony Brueski takes the other side of the table. Start with the man who ran it: the sheriff leading the search testified under oath that he'd never been suspended as a law enforcement officer, and then records emerged suggesting otherwise — enough that his own Board of Supervisors voted to refer possible perjury to the state Attorney General. Tony breaks down what a defense lawyer does with a lead official whose own honesty is now a question for prosecutors.From there it compounds. A crime scene loose enough that a reporter strolled to the front door. Cadaver-dog searches stopped. A DNA result that pointed at the wrong man entirely. A turf war between the local department and the FBI over who controlled the evidence and where it got tested. Each one, on its own, is survivable. Stacked together, they become a theme — and themes are what juries remember.This is a hard conversation about a hard truth: the goal of an investigation isn't just to find who did it, it's to build something that survives a courtroom. Tony lays out where this one may have already failed that test, which problems get evidence thrown out before trial, which ones simply hand a jury a reason to doubt, and what it could all mean for whoever eventually stands accused.Guilty or innocent, everyone gets the same Constitution. This is what that looks like in practice.Listen to the full episode.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eight women. That's what Rex Heuermann pleaded guilty to. Seventeen years of killing. But former FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke has said the likelihood the number stopped at eight is “limited to none.” If Dreeke is right, there are families out there who don't know the Gilgo Beach case has anything to do with them — people whose loved ones disappeared and were never connected to Heuermann.The FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit interview, built into the plea deal, may be the only way those names surface. The same interview program confirmed Samuel Little as the most prolific serial killer in U.S. history after he confessed to ninety-three murders in a dozen states. Many of Little's victims had been written off — deaths ruled overdoses or accidents, cases closed without answers. The interview reopened every one of them.Tony digs into why the FBI has been interviewing convicted killers since the 1970s and what the program has actually produced: a national crime database, a behavioral classification system used worldwide, and the recovery of remains that families had waited decades to bury. Gary Ridgway's six months of FBI interviews led investigators to four women whose families had never been able to lay them to rest.The criticism of the Heuermann interview is understandable — it gives a convicted killer attention. The FBI's fifty-year track record says the attention is a tool, not a reward. What it produces is the point. And what it might produce here is the answer to whether eight is the real number or just the floor.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Everyone is covering the Alex Murdaugh retrial. Almost nobody is reading both sides the way a defense attorney does. Bob Motta has spent his career at the defense table and he sees patterns in what Harpootlian, Griffin, and Creighton Waters are doing that most commentators are missing.The defense is not just preparing for trial — they're running a parallel investigation through a federal lawsuit. They're publicly announcing strategies that defense attorneys almost never reveal in advance. They're hiring new experts and pushing DNA evidence that was collected from the murder victim and never checked against the national database.The prosecution is recalibrating a case that just lost the twelve-and-a-half-hour financial crimes narrative that made the first conviction feel inevitable. What's left is circumstantial — the kennel video, the lie, and no physical evidence tying Alex to the murders. The AG is floating the death penalty. Waters says the genie is out of the bottle. And somewhere in the middle is the question of whether Becky Hill was really the only person who got to that jury. Bob Motta covers all three lanes.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Rex Heuermann agreed to sit down with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. He'll walk into that room thinking he controls the conversation — that he gets to decide what to share, what to hold back, and how to shape the story. Former FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke says Heuermann will “dribble and draft” the information, using it as currency. That's how these interviews always go.Except the FBI has something they've almost never had before. Prosecutors recovered a planning document from Heuermann's hard drive — a Word file he created, updated over years, and thought he'd erased. According to court filings, it contained eighty-seven specific details about how he prepared, killed, and disposed of evidence. His own written methodology, recovered from his own basement. When Heuermann talks, the FBI won't just be listening. They'll be checking.Tony traces the fifty-year history of the FBI's killer interview program from its origins with agents Ressler and Douglas through the thirty-six foundational interviews that built modern criminal profiling. He walks through the cases where cooperation produced results the evidence alone never could — Gary Ridgway leading investigators to four bodies, Samuel Little's ninety-three confessions solving cold cases across the country. The program works not because killers cooperate willingly, but because the FBI has spent decades learning how to turn their narcissism into something useful.Heuermann is the first digital-era serial killer the BAU has studied. The question isn't whether he'll try to lie. It's whether his own notes will let him.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Creighton Waters stood in front of reporters after the Supreme Court ruling and said the “genie is out of the bottle.” He meant every potential juror already knows what Alex Murdaugh did with his clients' money. But the court just told Waters he can't lay it out from the witness stand the way he did the first time. Twelve and a half hours of financial crimes testimony is done. The retrial has to be leaner, tighter, and stripped of the emotional devastation that made the first jury's decision feel like a formality.Without that narrative doing the heavy lifting, the murder case has to carry its own weight. The kennel video is still powerful. The lie Alex told about his whereabouts is still damning. But there's no recovered murder weapon, no confession, and no DNA evidence tying him to the killings. The first jury had context that made those gaps feel insignificant. The second jury might not.The AG's office is also considering the death penalty for the first time. The defense says this retrial favors the defendant. And both sides are already fighting about whether Alex takes the stand again — because if he does, prosecutors can use everything he said the first time against him. Bob Motta breaks it down. Tony Brueski, Robin Dreeke, and Bob Motta.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The six hundred thousand dollars is not the point. The defense says that's what Alex Murdaugh spent on his defense because of Becky Hill's interference. But they didn't file this suit to recover legal fees. They filed it in federal court because federal court gives them access to tools that the state murder case doesn't provide.In the murder case, the defense gets what the prosecution gives them in discovery. In the federal lawsuit, the defense controls the investigation. They can put people under oath. They can demand documents. They can subpoena courthouse staff, officials, and anyone else who might have been in a position to know what Hill was doing with the jury. If anyone knew and didn't report it, the defense finds out through this lawsuit — not through the prosecution's case file.Griffin's press conference question was simple: was she a lone wolf? That's not a rhetorical question. It's the framework for the entire suit. If the answer is no — if someone else was aware — the defense carries that into retrial. A juror who was dismissed the day of deliberations has also filed a separate motion to unseal the state's investigation into Hill. Bob Motta on what all of it means.

The kennel video was the prosecution's kill shot the first time. Paul Murdaugh's phone captured his father's voice at the Moselle property minutes before two people were shot to death. Alex denied being there. Witnesses proved he was. He took the stand and admitted the lie. The jury didn't need long after that.Now Dick Harpootlian is saying publicly that his team has a strategy for it. He won't say what, but the fact that he's signaling confidence on national television tells you the defense thinks they can neutralize the one exhibit that sank their client. They're also hiring new forensic cell phone experts to pick apart the prosecution's timeline and challenging whether anyone actually knows when the killings happened relative to Alex's movements.Jim Griffin added another layer — unknown male DNA under Maggie's fingernails that was collected during the investigation and never submitted to the national crime database. That's evidence from the murder victim herself that nobody followed up on. The defense wants it run through CODIS. If it comes back with a match, everything about this retrial changes. Bob Motta on what the defense is building.
