Podcast appearances and mentions of tony brueski

In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we pull back the curtain on the most misleading—and most dangerous—phase of any major crime story: the first 72 hours. Using the Bryan Kohberger case as a case study, Tony dissects how the earliest reporting on the University of Idaho murders quickly spiraled into misinformation, emotional panic, and public certainty based on little more than vague police statements and internet rumor. From “no threat to the community” to “unconscious person” to the infamous white Hyundai ask—almost everything the public believed in the first three days either changed or was clarified later. But by then, the narrative had hardened. In this longform breakdown, we expose how the fog of breaking news forms, why the media often isn't lying (even when the facts change), and how psychologically we cling to early stories even in the face of hard evidence. We explore the myths that formed—victims tied and gagged, the skinned dog rumor, the DoorDash driver, stalker theories—and show exactly what was reported when and why the facts didn't stick. This is not a hit piece on the press. It's a sharp, fact-driven guide to how public perception gets hijacked during active investigations, and why it matters—especially in a case as emotionally loaded and legally complex as the Kohberger trial. If you followed this case from the beginning, you need to hear this. Because chances are, some of what you still believe was never true to begin with.

This wasn't an outburst. It was, according to prosecutors, a deliberate, public execution. A bolt-action rifle. A rooftop. A single shot aimed at a political figure speaking to a crowd of thousands. Prosecutors say Tyler James Robinson left a note, sent texts, and planned every detail. In this gripping and unsettling episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott unravel the deeper psychology of targeted violence—and how some killers don't just act, they perform. From the alleged planning to the engraving on the bullets, the post-crime concealment, and the so-called “energy burst” of activity right after the shot—this wasn't just about killing. It was about control. Symbolism. Message. In this interview, we explore: How violent actors create their own mythology around the act The psychology of public spectacle and performance-driven violence Why some shooters choose rooftops, long guns, and high-attention moments What happens psychologically after the act: the crash, the clean-up, and the final justification We also examine how obsession, identity, and a need for significance play into the creation of what some perpetrators see as a necessary act of violence. If you've ever wondered what turns someone from angry to armed—and what mental framework allows a person to believe they're righteous in doing so—this is the episode to watch.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is reportedly “in shock,” “terrified of going broke,” and “anxious” about his 50-month prison sentence — but should we care? In this brutal, voice-driven commentary, Tony Brueski rips through the performative grief, fake remorse, and narcissistic delusions surrounding Diddy's fall from power. While Diddy mourns canceled speaking gigs and the collapse of his public image, his victims — including Cassie Ventura — are still living the trauma he left behind. Cassie's powerful letter to the court described years of fear, coercion, and hypervigilance. She moved her family out of New York to escape the man who controlled and brutalized her. And unlike Diddy, she doesn't get to walk free in four years. Her sentence is for life. In this segment, we break down the hard facts:  ✔️ The 2016 hotel hallway video showing Diddy attacking Cassie.  ✔️ Allegations from dozens of women detailing “freak-offs,” coercion, and psychological abuse.  ✔️ The 11-minute vanity video Diddy played in court — a tone-deaf attempt to rebrand abuse as the “American Dream.”  ✔️ His reported plea for a Trump pardon — because he still believes power should shield him from consequence. This isn't a redemption arc. This is the slow, humiliating collapse of a man who built his empire on fear and silence. Diddy isn't facing injustice — he's finally facing something resembling accountability. And for once, the mirror doesn't flinch. Brueski doesn't hold back. If you still feel sympathy for Combs, this commentary might change your mind — or show you exactly which side of history you're standing on.

A major shock just hit the Kouri Richins murder case—and it's not coming from the defense. It's coming from the prosecution's own key witness, who now says he never sold fentanyl to anyone connected to Richins. That single statement might be enough to crack the entire case wide open. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into the explosive new affidavit from Robert Crozier, the alleged drug dealer the state claims supplied the fentanyl that killed Eric Richins. In newly filed court documents, Crozier swears under oath that he didn't sell fentanyl—he sold oxycodone. And that one change blows a hole straight through the state's carefully constructed narrative. The defense has now filed a motion to reconsider bail and another to compel evidence disclosure, claiming the prosecution knew about this change as far back as April 2025—and said nothing. If true, this isn't just a twist. It could be a Brady violation—a failure to turn over exculpatory evidence—which would shake the case at its core. We break down everything: the potential legal fallout, the impact on the upcoming February 2026 trial, and whether prosecutors can still prove murder without being able to trace the weapon—fentanyl—back to the accused. And with no physical pills, no forensic link, and a recanted witness, the state may now be walking into court with a theory that's missing its spine. Is this the beginning of the end for the prosecution's case against Kouri Richins? Or will the state fight back with new evidence to keep their narrative alive? This one changes everything. #KouriRichins #TrueCrime #FentanylMurder #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #LegalDrama #CourtroomTwist #MurderTrial #BreakingNews #JusticeSystem Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The warning signs were there. According to prosecutors, Tyler James Robinson—the man charged in the assassination of Charlie Kirk—left behind a note, sent texts before and after the shooting, and planned the act for over a week. Yet no one stopped it. In this episode of Hidden Killers, host Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist and forensic behavioral expert Shavaun Scott to dissect the psychology behind leakage, missed signals, and why families, friends, and institutions continue to fail at catching killers before they act. We're asking the hard questions: Why do people hesitate to report concerning behavior—even when their gut says something's wrong? What language patterns and behavior shifts should raise red flags in friends, classmates, or coworkers? What role does the internet play in radicalizing already isolated individuals? What can schools, campuses, and event organizers realistically do to stop this? This isn't about panic. It's about prevention. Because according to the Secret Service, most mass shooters display obvious warning signs in the days, weeks, and months before they act. This episode pulls back the curtain on the psychology of targeted violence—and why so many communities only connect the dots when it's already too late.

This wasn't a moment of rage. According to prosecutors, it was a calculated, deliberate act: a long gun, a rooftop, and a public figure in the crosshairs. In this powerful and deeply psychological episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist and forensic behavioral expert Shavaun Scott to examine the disturbing case of Tyler James Robinson, the man charged with murdering Charlie Kirk in front of a crowd at Utah Valley University. Authorities allege Robinson left behind a handwritten note, confessed to the act in a text message, and planned the shooting for over a week. Prosecutors are calling it ideologically motivated, and they're seeking the death penalty. But this isn't just about what allegedly happened. It's about how people get there.  What makes someone move from grievance to violence? From obsession to execution? From believing in a cause to believing that murder is justified? Together, Tony and Shavaun break down the psychology of targeted violence, including: The mindset behind planned attacks vs. spontaneous rage What the term “leakage” means—and how it shows up in text messages and online behavior Why offenders often see themselves as heroes, protectors, or martyrs The role of digital radicalization, algorithmic echo chambers, and identity reinforcement The symbolism of engraved weapons, public executions, and post-crime behavior What institutions, families, and friends can realistically do to stop the next shooter This interview dives deep into the dark corners of obsession, warning signs, and the narratives people build around violence. It's not about sensationalism—it's about understanding the patterns, so we can finally learn how to stop them. If you've ever asked yourself, “How could no one see this coming?”—this is the conversation you need to hear.

The Brian Walshe murder case has taken a shocking turn, with the court ordering a psychiatric evaluation. In this exclusive Hidden Killers legal breakdown, Tony Brueski examines what this stunning development means for the future of the trial and the complexities of the justice system. We'll trace the compelling digital evidence, from the chilling iPad searches for dismemberment techniques to the damning Home Depot purchases that led to Walshe's arrest. This video isn't about a verdict; it's an in-depth analysis of the legal process, focusing on the critical question of competency to stand trial. We'll explain the legal standards, including the "Dusky standard," and discuss how a finding of incompetence could suspend the case indefinitely. From courtroom delays to psychological assessments at Bridgewater State Hospital, this is a front-row seat to the high-stakes legal twist in one of the year's most high-profile murder cases.

Sean “Diddy” Combs walked into a Manhattan courtroom hoping for a redemption arc. He left with 50 months in federal prison, five years of supervised release, and a $500,000 fine — because this time, the court listened to the women first. In this episode of Hidden Killers, we break down exactly what happened at Diddy's sentencing — from Cassie Ventura's brutal victim impact letter to the government's demolition of his “changed man” image, to the judge's refusal to let branding outweigh violence.

Ronald Exantus killed 6-year-old Logan Tipton while the child slept in his own bed. No warning, no provocation — just a random home invasion and a brutal act of violence that shattered a family and stunned a community. And now… he's out. Not because he was proven innocent. Not because a parole board found him rehabilitated. But because of a broken system that rewards “good behavior” in prison with early release credits — and a Kentucky law called Mandatory Reentry Supervision that forces early release, even when the parole board says no. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down how the man who confessed to the killing was found Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity on the murder charge, convicted on assault counts, sentenced to 20 years — and still walked out of prison after just a few short years. We dig deep into the facts, the timeline, the verdict, and the shocking release that has left the Tipton family — and anyone who values public safety — stunned and angry. No speculation. No sensationalism. Just the hard truth about what happened, how the system failed, and why it could happen again.  Subscribe for more honest, hard-hitting true crime breakdowns that ask the questions no one else will. #RonaldExantus #LoganTipton #TrueCrime #CriminalJustice #ParoleFailure #ChildMurder #KentuckyJustice #TonyBrueski #HiddenKillers #SystemFailure #Outrage Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In one of the most shocking criminal cases in recent memory, a sitting sheriff walked into a Kentucky courthouse and executed a judge in his own chambers. But this wasn't a random act of violence — it was the detonation point of a system that had been rotting from the inside out. On this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into the case of Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines, now indicted for the murder of Judge Kevin Mullins inside the Letcher County Courthouse in 2024. Surveillance captured the whole thing. He walked in. He shut the door. He opened fire. But this isn't just about a single shooting. Three days earlier, Stines had been deposed in a federal civil rights case — Adkins v. Fields — alleging rampant sexual coercion, abuse of power, and misconduct inside that same courthouse. One official has already pleaded guilty to rape and sodomy. Others, including Judge Mullins, were named in the lawsuit. Some of the alleged misconduct? Took place inside Mullins' chambers. Now, Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, joins us to break down the behavioral spiral that may have led a law enforcement officer to kill a judge — and what it reveals about power, silence, and systemic corruption. We'll examine post-arrest bodycam footage, explore how intimidation keeps victims quiet, and ask the hard question: Was this murder an act of madness — or of reckoning? This case isn't just about Kentucky. It's about what happens when power protects itself, and justice becomes a commodity. Don't miss this one.

What does life look like for Bryan Kohberger now that he's off the front page and locked inside one of Idaho's most restrictive prisons? In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we go inside the Idaho Maximum Security Institution—home to death row, long-term restrictive housing, and now, Bryan Kohberger. This is not general population. This is J Block. And the reality of Kohberger's existence there is bleak. We break down every confirmed detail of his day-to-day life: • 23 hours a day in a single cell • One hour of solo outdoor rec • Showers every other day • Movement only in full restraints • Commissary as his only “task” of the week • Surveillance on all calls, messages, and mail • Visitation through glass, if allowed at all Using official records from the Idaho Department of Correction and verified reporting, this is a deeply researched, fact-driven look at the institutional monotony, isolation, and psychological erosion that defines Kohberger's life today. This isn't a story of redemption, revenge, or rehabilitation. It's the slow, bureaucratic erasure of a man from public view—no longer a suspect, no longer a student, no longer in control. Tony Brueski guides you through this haunting portrait with the signature Hidden Killers voice: sharp, emotionally grounded, and relentlessly focused on truth over spectacle. Subscribe now for more deep dives into America's most disturbing criminal cases and what justice looks like after the trial ends. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #JBlock #PrisonLife #LifeWithoutParole #Criminology #JusticeSystem #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three victims. Three abusers. Three systems that looked the other way—until the bodies made it impossible. In this special 2-hour episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we're diving into three stories that expose what happens when unchecked power collides with silence, manipulation, and violence.

Before Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced Sean “Diddy” Combs to 50 months in federal prison, he read a letter that few people have actually seen in full — from Casandra Ventura, known to the world as Cassie. This wasn't a PR statement. It wasn't a soundbite. It was eleven years of abuse, control, and degradation laid out for the court, in Cassie's own words. She described being groomed as a teenager, forced into repeated “freak offs” with male sex workers while Diddy dictated every detail — from what she wore to how she looked — under the constant threat of violence, blackmail, and career destruction. Cassie wrote about bruises, scars, infections, addiction, and suicide ideation. She detailed how Diddy's threats extended to her family and how his power turned her body and livelihood into leverage. She told the judge: “Nothing about this story is great, modern, or loving — this was a horrific decade of my life stained by abuse, violence, forced sex, and degradation.” She warned that Diddy's public claims of being “changed” and wanting to “mentor” abusers were a façade, writing that the manipulator, aggressor, and trafficker she knew “is who he is as a human.” In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down Cassie Ventura's full sentencing letter, line by line, and explores what it reveals about Diddy's pattern of control, the mechanics of coercion, and the reality of survivor testimony in high‑profile cases. We'll look at how the judge responded, what the sentence really means, and what's next as Diddy prepares to appeal.

Between 1946 and 1953, at a Massachusetts institution called the Walter E. Fernald State School, dozens of boys were recruited into something called a “Science Club.” They were promised special perks — better food, baseball games, trips to the beach. What they weren't told was that their breakfast oatmeal and milk were secretly laced with radioactive iron and calcium. The so-called nutritional study was designed by scientists from MIT, funded in part by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, and co-sponsored by Quaker Oats, which supplied the cereal. The goal was to measure how well the body absorbed minerals from food — but the method violated every basic rule of ethics and consent. The children, many labeled “feebleminded” or “morons” by the state, were wards of Massachusetts — boys without parents, without rights, and without the ability to refuse. Some were even injected with radioactive materials in follow-up experiments. None were told what was happening to them. When the truth came out decades later, public outrage was immediate. Survivors like Fred Boyce came forward, saying the greatest harm wasn't the radiation — it was being treated like an object, not a person. In 1998, MIT and Quaker Oats settled a class-action lawsuit for $1.85 million, and President Bill Clinton issued an apology on behalf of the federal government for Cold War-era human radiation testing. But behind the headlines is a bigger story — about power, secrecy, and the belief that science justifies anything. In this episode, we dig deep into the Fernald radioactive oatmeal experiments — what really happened, who was responsible, what became of the victims, and how it changed human-subject research forever.

She described being groomed as a teenager, forced into repeated “freak offs” with male sex workers while Diddy dictated every detail — from what she wore to how she looked — under the constant threat of violence, blackmail, and career destruction. Cassie wrote about bruises, scars, infections, addiction, and suicide ideation. She detailed how Diddy's threats extended to her family and how his power turned her body and livelihood into leverage. She told the judge: “Nothing about this story is great, modern, or loving — this was a horrific decade of my life stained by abuse, violence, forced sex, and degradation.” She warned that Diddy's public claims of being “changed” and wanting to “mentor” abusers were a façade, writing that the manipulator, aggressor, and trafficker she knew “is who he is as a human.” In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down Cassie Ventura's full sentencing letter, line by line, and explores what it reveals about Diddy's pattern of control, the mechanics of coercion, and the reality of survivor testimony in high‑profile cases. We'll look at how the judge responded, what the sentence really means, and what's next as Diddy prepares to appeal.

In one of the most shocking criminal cases in recent memory, a sitting sheriff walked into a Kentucky courthouse and executed a judge in his own chambers. But this wasn't a random act of violence — it was the detonation point of a system that had been rotting from the inside out. On this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into the case of Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines, now indicted for the murder of Judge Kevin Mullins inside the Letcher County Courthouse in 2024. Surveillance captured the whole thing. He walked in. He shut the door. He opened fire. But this isn't just about a single shooting. Three days earlier, Stines had been deposed in a federal civil rights case — Adkins v. Fields — alleging rampant sexual coercion, abuse of power, and misconduct inside that same courthouse. One official has already pleaded guilty to rape and sodomy. Others, including Judge Mullins, were named in the lawsuit. Some of the alleged misconduct? Took place inside Mullins' chambers. Now, Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, joins us to break down the behavioral spiral that may have led a law enforcement officer to kill a judge — and what it reveals about power, silence, and systemic corruption. We'll examine post-arrest bodycam footage, explore how intimidation keeps victims quiet, and ask the hard question: Was this murder an act of madness — or of reckoning? This case isn't just about Kentucky. It's about what happens when power protects itself, and justice becomes a commodity. Don't miss this one.

What does life look like for Bryan Kohberger now that he's off the front page and locked inside one of Idaho's most restrictive prisons? In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we go inside the Idaho Maximum Security Institution—home to death row, long-term restrictive housing, and now, Bryan Kohberger. This is not general population. This is J Block. And the reality of Kohberger's existence there is bleak. We break down every confirmed detail of his day-to-day life: • 23 hours a day in a single cell • One hour of solo outdoor rec • Showers every other day • Movement only in full restraints • Commissary as his only “task” of the week • Surveillance on all calls, messages, and mail • Visitation through glass, if allowed at all Using official records from the Idaho Department of Correction and verified reporting, this is a deeply researched, fact-driven look at the institutional monotony, isolation, and psychological erosion that defines Kohberger's life today. This isn't a story of redemption, revenge, or rehabilitation. It's the slow, bureaucratic erasure of a man from public view—no longer a suspect, no longer a student, no longer in control. Tony Brueski guides you through this haunting portrait with the signature Hidden Killers voice: sharp, emotionally grounded, and relentlessly focused on truth over spectacle.

Between 1946 and 1953, at a Massachusetts institution called the Walter E. Fernald State School, dozens of boys were recruited into something called a “Science Club.” They were promised special perks — better food, baseball games, trips to the beach. What they weren't told was that their breakfast oatmeal and milk were secretly laced with radioactive iron and calcium. The so-called nutritional study was designed by scientists from MIT, funded in part by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, and co-sponsored by Quaker Oats, which supplied the cereal. The goal was to measure how well the body absorbed minerals from food — but the method violated every basic rule of ethics and consent. The children, many labeled “feebleminded” or “morons” by the state, were wards of Massachusetts — boys without parents, without rights, and without the ability to refuse. Some were even injected with radioactive materials in follow-up experiments. None were told what was happening to them. When the truth came out decades later, public outrage was immediate. Survivors like Fred Boyce came forward, saying the greatest harm wasn't the radiation — it was being treated like an object, not a person. In 1998, MIT and Quaker Oats settled a class-action lawsuit for $1.85 million, and President Bill Clinton issued an apology on behalf of the federal government for Cold War-era human radiation testing. But behind the headlines is a bigger story — about power, secrecy, and the belief that science justifies anything. In this episode, we dig deep into the Fernald radioactive oatmeal experiments — what really happened, who was responsible, what became of the victims, and how it changed human-subject research forever.

Ronald Exantus killed 6-year-old Logan Tipton while the child slept in his own bed. No warning, no provocation — just a random home invasion and a brutal act of violence that shattered a family and stunned a community. And now… he's out. Not because he was proven innocent. Not because a parole board found him rehabilitated. But because of a broken system that rewards “good behavior” in prison with early release credits — and a Kentucky law called Mandatory Reentry Supervision that forces early release, even when the parole board says no. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down how the man who confessed to the killing was found Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity on the murder charge, convicted on assault counts, sentenced to 20 years — and still walked out of prison after just a few short years. We dig deep into the facts, the timeline, the verdict, and the shocking release that has left the Tipton family — and anyone who values public safety — stunned and angry. No speculation. No sensationalism. Just the hard truth about what happened, how the system failed, and why it could happen again.  Subscribe for more honest, hard-hitting true crime breakdowns that ask the questions no one else will. #RonaldExantus #LoganTipton #TrueCrime #CriminalJustice #ParoleFailure #ChildMurder #KentuckyJustice #TonyBrueski #HiddenKillers #SystemFailure #Outrage Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three victims. Three abusers. Three systems that looked the other way—until the bodies made it impossible. In this special 2-hour episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we're diving into three stories that expose what happens when unchecked power collides with silence, manipulation, and violence.

In one of the most shocking criminal cases in recent memory, a sitting sheriff walked into a Kentucky courthouse and executed a judge in his own chambers. But this wasn't a random act of violence — it was the detonation point of a system that had been rotting from the inside out. On this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into the case of Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines, now indicted for the murder of Judge Kevin Mullins inside the Letcher County Courthouse in 2024.

Sean “Diddy” Combs walked into a Manhattan courtroom hoping for a redemption arc. He left with 50 months in federal prison, five years of supervised release, and a $500,000 fine — because this time, the court listened to the women first. In this episode of Hidden Killers, we break down exactly what happened at Diddy's sentencing — from Cassie Ventura's brutal victim impact letter to the government's demolition of his “changed man” image, to the judge's refusal to let branding outweigh violence.

A haunted basement. A ghost that calls on the hospital phone. A cat brothel (?!). A child who claims to have died in a space capsule. Welcome to one of the most unhinged, unforgettable, and emotionally charged episodes of Real Ghost Stories Online Live. In this full 2-hour LIVE episode, Tony Brueski, Carol Hughes, and Todd Michaels are back with a rollercoaster of terrifying listener stories, bizarre encounters, and moments that will have you laughing out loud… or checking behind your couch.

A South Carolina judge makes a controversial ruling. Weeks later, her home explodes into flames. In this episode, we break down the unfolding story of Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein—whose Edisto Beach home was destroyed in a fire that left three members of her family hospitalized. Judge Goodstein had recently issued a temporary block on South Carolina's election commission, stopping them from handing over sensitive voter registration data to the federal government as part of a Trump-era executive order. That decision sparked backlash—and, according to multiple reports, credible death threats. Then came the fire. State investigators are now looking into whether the blaze, which involved a suspected explosion, was accidental—or something far more sinister. Was this political retribution? If so, it may be one of the most disturbing examples yet of how judges are becoming targets in America's fractured political landscape. In this extended, voice-driven narrative, Tony Brueski digs deep into what we know, what's still unanswered, and why this case demands our full attention. From the threats to the investigation to the broader implications for judicial independence, this isn't just a story about a fire—it's a warning shot for democracy itself. What happens when we stop protecting the people who interpret the law? What happens when disagreement becomes arson? This episode doesn't speculate. It sticks to facts. And it raises the hard questions we can't afford to ignore.

D4VD DRAMA, Timeline DESTROYED As Video Shows Celeste Alive AT HOME, While “Missing”?!  Celeste Rivas Hernandez was just 13 when she was reported missing in April 2024. For months, her photo circulated online. Her family searched. The public assumed the worst. But then came a video—captured on a neighbor's security camera months later—showing Celeste alive, present, and vocal just outside her home. The date? September 8, 2024—exactly one day after her 14th birthday. And then, exactly one year later to the day, Celeste's decomposed body was found in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to rising music artist David Burke, known as d4vd. The car had been towed from the Hollywood Hills and sat unnoticed at a local tow yard until the smell prompted a search warrant. What began as a missing persons case is now a timeline mystery — and possibly something much darker. In this special episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down the Two-Timelines Problem in gripping detail. We walk through the official report dates, parking records, forensic delays, and the chain-of-custody questions now at the heart of a national media firestorm. What does it mean when a girl is declared missing — while cameras show her home? What do we make of a timeline that snaps cleanly in two? And why is there still no official cause of death over a month after her body was found? This case isn't just about headlines. It's about a child who may have slipped through the cracks of every system built to protect her. We're following every verified lead, every timestamp, and every unanswered question — until we know what really happened to Celeste.

Mental Health Misused, Evidence Destroyed, Questions Ignored | Ellen Greenberg Deep Dive Ellen Greenberg was found with 20 stab wounds — including 10 in the back of her neck. And yet, her death was ruled a suicide. How? And more importantly — why? In this deeply psychological and emotionally charged episode of Hidden Killers Live, host Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to unpack not just the facts of the case, but the emotional truth that's been obscured for over a decade. We start with Ellen's mental state — not just in the days before her death, but over the months of quiet withdrawal that went ignored or misinterpreted. She stopped wearing her engagement ring. She told her parents she wanted to come home. And yet, no one — not friends, not authorities — ever seemed to ask what she might have been retreating from. Then we turn to the psychiatric timeline. Ellen had three sessions with a psychiatrist. No history of suicide attempts. No diagnosed depression. No recorded ideation. And yet that paper-thin narrative — “she was anxious” — became the foundation for an official suicide ruling. We also confront what happened after her death — the reversal from homicide to suicide, the cleaned crime scene, the missing chain of custody, and the devices removed by her fiancé's uncle before detectives could investigate. Her fiancé, Sam Goldberg, never pushed back on the suicide narrative. In fact, he reportedly said, “Do you think I killed her?” This case isn't just forensic failure. It's emotional sabotage, institutional betrayal, and a test of whether truth still matters when it's inconvenient. This episode doesn't just question the ruling — it questions the people who accepted it. Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg's fiancé at the time of her death, has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case. He has consistently maintained that Ellen's death was a suicide. All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise.

Who Is Diddy in Jail? FBI Profiler Analyzes the Man, the Myth, the Manipulator Can a man who spent decades controlling the narrative really just let it go? Or is his latest apology another chapter in the myth of Diddy? In this Hidden Killers Live exclusive, retired FBI Special Agent and behavioral expert Robin Dreeke joins host Tony Brueski to dissect Diddy's letter to the judge—a raw, emotional plea that might not be as raw or emotional as it seems. Line by line, we examine what the letter says, what it means, and what it might be trying to do. Then we look at Free Game with Diddy, the six-week prison class Combs now teaches in jail. He says it's changed his life—and changed others'. But when former gang members, counselors, and inmates start writing letters of praise to support a sentencing request, we have to ask: Is this leadership—or leverage? Robin Dreeke brings real-world experience from inside the FBI's behavioral programs to offer insight on: Charisma as a social weapon Image construction under legal pressure The difference between true transformation and high-stakes storytelling In court, your words matter. In prison, your behavior does. But in the public eye? It's all about what sticks.

"Too Disturbing to See”: Judge Blocks Graphic Kohberger Crime Scene Photos-WEEK IN REVIEW Should the worst moments of someone's life be public forever? In this gripping episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we unpack a powerful new court ruling in the Bryan Kohberger case—one that challenges how far the public's right to know really goes. Idaho Judge Megan Marshall has officially barred the release of graphic crime scene photos depicting the slain bodies of four University of Idaho students: Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Why does this matter? Because we're living in an age where “transparency” often doubles as clickbait. The photos in question, described by the judge as “incredibly disturbing,” were requested under Idaho's Public Records Act. But citing emotional trauma to the families and legal precedent around survivor privacy, the court drew a clear line: some truths don't need to be seen to be known. We break down the legal framework behind the ruling, including the landmark National Archives v. Favish decision and the Ninth Circuit's recognition of post-mortem privacy. We also explore the tension between legitimate public interest and pure morbid curiosity—especially in the digital age where true crime content gets instantly repurposed, decontextualized, and weaponized online. What gets lost when we treat victim imagery as “just another post”? And what do we actually gain when the system chooses dignity over spectacle? This is not just a legal story—it's a cultural reckoning. One that asks: Is it justice if the families suffer more after the verdict is in? Watch now as we separate justice from voyeurism—and explain why this ruling may reshape the future of transparency in high-profile true crime cases.

And yet that paper-thin narrative — “she was anxious” — became the foundation for an official suicide ruling. We also confront what happened after her death — the reversal from homicide to suicide, the cleaned crime scene, the missing chain of custody, and the devices removed by her fiancé's uncle before detectives could investigate. Her fiancé, Sam Goldberg, never pushed back on the suicide narrative. In fact, he reportedly said, “Do you think I killed her?” This case isn't just forensic failure. It's emotional sabotage, institutional betrayal, and a test of whether truth still matters when it's inconvenient. This episode doesn't just question the ruling — it questions the people who accepted it. Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg's fiancé at the time of her death, has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case. He has consistently maintained that Ellen's death was a suicide. All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise.

"Too Disturbing to See”: Judge Blocks Graphic Kohberger Crime Scene Photos-WEEK IN REVIEW Should the worst moments of someone's life be public forever? In this gripping episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we unpack a powerful new court ruling in the Bryan Kohberger case—one that challenges how far the public's right to know really goes. Idaho Judge Megan Marshall has officially barred the release of graphic crime scene photos depicting the slain bodies of four University of Idaho students: Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Why does this matter? Because we're living in an age where “transparency” often doubles as clickbait. The photos in question, described by the judge as “incredibly disturbing,” were requested under Idaho's Public Records Act. But citing emotional trauma to the families and legal precedent around survivor privacy, the court drew a clear line: some truths don't need to be seen to be known. We break down the legal framework behind the ruling, including the landmark National Archives v. Favish decision and the Ninth Circuit's recognition of post-mortem privacy. We also explore the tension between legitimate public interest and pure morbid curiosity—especially in the digital age where true crime content gets instantly repurposed, decontextualized, and weaponized online. What gets lost when we treat victim imagery as “just another post”? And what do we actually gain when the system chooses dignity over spectacle? This is not just a legal story—it's a cultural reckoning. One that asks: Is it justice if the families suffer more after the verdict is in? Watch now as we separate justice from voyeurism—and explain why this ruling may reshape the future of transparency in high-profile true crime cases.

Diddy Sentenced to 4 Years — Judge Slams “Freak‑Offs,” Violence & Narcissistic Lies Sean “Diddy” Combs has been sentenced to 4 years and 2 months in federal prison. But don't let the number fool you — this wasn't just about a legal outcome. It was a public reckoning. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski takes you inside the courtroom where the myth of Sean Combs finally shattered. The defense came in armed with trauma stories, addiction confessions, and an 11‑minute PR video. Combs begged for mercy, claimed he was “changed,” and tried to reframe his disgrace as growth. But Judge Arun Subramanian wasn't buying it. In a brutal takedown, the judge called Combs out for years of calculated abuse — from the “freak-offs” to coercion, to hotel beatings caught on tape. He praised the “brave survivors” like Cassie Ventura and “Jane,” telling them: “We heard you.” And when Combs tried to paint himself as the American Dream, the judge fired back: “You were no John. You paid for and organized these acts.” The prosecution labeled Combs a “master puppeteer of his own image.” The court agreed. This isn't a redemption story — it's what happens when image control runs headfirst into evidence, and the spin finally breaks down. We break down every major moment: the narcissistic performance, the courtroom manipulation, the survivors' courage, and the final moment where the system, at long last, refused to be played. It's not about music. It's not about status. It's about accountability — real, overdue, and unapologetic. Subscribe for more true crime breakdowns with real stakes and no fluff. Watch the full takedown now. #DiddySentencing #SeanCombs #CassieVentura #HiddenKillers #CelebrityJustice #FreakOffsExposed #RedemptionSpin #TrueCrimeAnalysis #PowerAndAbuse #YouWereNoJohn Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
