On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the harrowing tale of the Iroquois Theater fire of 1903, a catastrophe that claimed over 600 lives and left an indelible mark on Chicago's history. We'll explore the events leading up to that fateful day, the aftermath, and the subsequent reports of paranormal activity that have persisted for over a century. Join us as we delve into eyewitness accounts, examine the psychological and environmental factors at play, and consider the theories that attempt to explain the unexplained. Is the James M. Nederlander Theatre truly haunted by the spirits of those who perished, or are there more earthly explanations for the phenomena reported?
Inside the Mind of Asa Ellerup: FBI Profiler Breaks Down the Gilgo Beach Killer's Home Life In this special full-length edition of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski is joined by Robin Dreeke—retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—for a masterclass in psychological profiling, emotional survival, and the terrifying ease with which evil can thrive inside a family home. Together, they dissect the marriage between Asa Ellerup and accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann. Through footage from Peacock's documentary, The Gilgo Beach Killer: Secrets of a Serial Killer, Robin examines Asa's emotional patterns, her lack of curiosity, and what her devotion may reveal about how Rex was able to live a double life for decades without raising alarm. From their earliest days together—when Rex “saved” Asa from a difficult divorce—to the secret gun vault in the basement she never questioned, every detail is unpacked through the lens of behavioral science. Why did Asa never ask what her husband did during those long weekends alone? Why did she trust him so completely, even when DNA evidence tied her family to the victims? We also explore the conflicted voice of Victoria Heuermann, their daughter, who is caught between love and revulsion. Like Kerri Rawson, daughter of BTK, Victoria must now reconcile the man who built her a dollhouse with the man now accused of horrific crimes. Robin Dreeke breaks down how manipulation, grooming, denial, and emotional projection form the perfect storm for long-term concealment—and how that storm unraveled in one Long Island household. This isn't just about a killer. It's about the people who lived with him. And what they may have known—or refused to see.

The Karen Read Puzzle: Was the Evidence Clear or Too Muddy? Description: In this critical breakdown, Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examine whether the evidence in the Karen Read trial was ever truly clear—or hopelessly muddy from the start. The prosecution argued that Read backed her SUV into John O'Keefe while intoxicated, leaving him to die in the snow. But the defense countered with conflicting expert opinions, challenges to forensic evidence, and pointed questions about the conduct of those inside the house that night. Coffindaffer dissects each piece of the state's case—taillight fragments, injury patterns, and cell phone timelines—to determine whether the prosecution's puzzle added up to a complete picture. What emerges is a case clouded by missing witness testimony, unexplored rebuttals, and decisions that may have left the jury unconvinced. Why didn't the state present its crash reconstruction data? Why wasn't a second medical examiner brought in to clarify the cause of death? And how did ambiguous statements from witnesses and officials shape the jury's view? We also discuss the psychological dynamic at play: Did jurors feel overwhelmed by conflicting expert analysis? Did prosecution fatigue lead to key strategic omissions? This is the episode that puts the entire Karen Read trial under the microscope. Was the evidence truly there? Or was the picture always just too incomplete?

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the haunting legacy of the New Amsterdam Theatre, delving into the life and untimely death of Ziegfeld Follies star Olive Thomas. We'll explore the historical context of the theatre, the mysterious circumstances surrounding Olive's demise, and the numerous paranormal encounters reported by staff and visitors over the decades. Join us as we examine eyewitness accounts, consider psychological and environmental explanations, and discuss the cultural impact of Olive's enduring presence in one of Broadway's most storied venues. Is it all just a series of coincidences, or does Olive Thomas truly haunt the halls of the New Amsterdam Theatre?
“Telling Him I Love Him Hurts Him” — Gilgo Killer's Wife, Asa Ellerup's Most Bizarre Statement Yet In this final segment, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke turn their focus toward the most emotionally revealing clips from the Peacock documentary, featuring Asa Ellerup's reaction to her husband Rex Heuermann's arrest—and her increasingly surreal statements in the aftermath. Asa says she doesn't want to tell Rex she loves him… because it would hurt him. She defends him against allegations with unwavering loyalty, declaring “he's a family man,” and insists that he never kept anything from her—even while describing rooms in the house she was never allowed to enter. Robin Dreeke walks us through the psychological mechanisms at play: projection, cognitive dissonance, and denial as a survival strategy. He explains why Asa isn't just refusing to believe the evidence—she's incapable of it. To accept it would be to unravel her entire life, her marriage, and the identity she's built around being the wife of a good man. Dreeke also analyzes Asa's body language, defensive responses, and deeply embedded belief system. He argues that Asa's lack of curiosity—and Rex's understanding of that trait—created a “perfect storm” for secrecy and long-term concealment. We also explore the disturbing reality that forensic evidence linked hair from Asa and her daughter to some of the victims. How does Asa rationalize this? She doesn't. She simply... doesn't ask. As the segment closes, we also address the broader forensic and behavioral implications: Was this family environment intentionally manipulated? And what mistakes may have occurred because no one was asking the hard questions? This isn't just about one woman's denial—it's about the terrifying ease with which predators can operate when no one dares to ask why.

“I Still Feel Rex Is Here” — Gilgo Killer's Wife, Asa Ellerup's Grief and Denial, Analyzed by the FBI In Segment 3, we enter the emotional core of the Gilgo Beach case. As Asa Ellerup walks through the remnants of her raided home, she says something haunting: “I still feel Rex is here.” It's not just grief—it's denial, memory, and psychological trauma colliding all at once. Tony Brueski and former FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke examine what happens when someone's entire identity is built around a man who may not have ever existed in the way she believed. Dreeke draws from deep behavioral analysis to explain Asa's apparent inability to accept the allegations—even in the face of overwhelming evidence. This segment also introduces another powerful voice: Victoria Heuermann, the daughter of Rex and Asa. Caught between the loving father who built her a dollhouse and the man now accused of being a serial killer, Victoria represents a generational split in how trauma is processed. She openly admits she feels torn—stating she both loves and hates her father. We explore how denial, trauma bonding, and emotional survival play out across generations. Dreeke draws comparisons to Kerri Rawson, daughter of BTK killer Dennis Rader, and discusses how individuals come to terms—or refuse to—with the dark truths inside their families. Through Asa's refusal to ask questions and Victoria's cautious acceptance of reality, we see the full spectrum of psychological responses in the wake of extreme betrayal. This isn't just about the crimes. It's about what happens when your past is rewritten in real time—and you're left to pick up the pieces.

Karen Read or Cover-Up? Why Jurors Had Reasonable Doubt Description: Was this a case of guilt—or just too many unanswered questions? In this installment of Hidden Killers, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to examine the roots of the reasonable doubt that ultimately led jurors to acquit Karen Read of murder and manslaughter charges in the death of Officer John O'Keefe. From the very beginning, the case was fraught with complications: a flawed investigation, internal police drama, and key witnesses who never took the stand. Coffindaffer highlights the law enforcement missteps that contributed to the doubt—such as the dismissal of lead investigator Michael Proctor, inconsistencies in forensic data, and the lack of direct evidence placing Read at the scene of the collision. We also explore the optics that fueled public skepticism: Why did no one inside 34 Fairview Road come outside when O'Keefe was allegedly dying in the snow? Why were cell phones discarded just before they were to be turned over to investigators? And why were rebuttal witnesses, including crash reconstructionists and a second medical examiner, left out of the prosecution's final presentation? This episode is a forensic and legal deep dive into how perception, silence, and investigative gaps created a perfect storm of doubt. As Coffindaffer notes, sometimes it's not what the jury sees—it's what they don't see that changes everything.

In this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the enigmatic history of the RMS Queen Mary, tracing her transformation from a luxurious ocean liner to a renowned haunted landmark. We'll explore documented paranormal encounters, including sightings of ghostly children and the elusive "Lady in White," and examine the psychological and environmental factors that may contribute to these enduring legends.
Judge IGNORED Mom's Desperate Pleas - The Travis Decker Family Tragedy Episode Description: In this powerful episode of Hidden Killers, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to dissect one of the most preventable family tragedies in recent memory. The Travis Decker case exposes the deadly consequences when judges dismiss a mother's desperate warnings about a dangerous father. Whitney Decker's pleas fell on deaf ears as the court granted her homeless, mentally ill ex-husband unsupervised access to their three daughters. Eric Faddis provides expert legal analysis on the "tremendous discretion" judges wield in family court, the outdated precedents that prioritize biological rights over child safety, and why there's virtually no accountability when judicial decisions turn deadly. We explore the red flags: Travis's PTSD and borderline personality disorder diagnoses, his refusal to take medication, taking the girls to a homeless shelter, and missing National Guard duties. This episode asks the hard questions: Why do courts lean so heavily on a 1970s study about parental rights? What can protective parents legally do when court orders endanger their children? How many more tragedies before the system changes? A crucial conversation about judicial reform, child protection, and the price of legal negligence.

“He Saved Us” — Or Did He? Gilgo Killer's Wife, Asa Ellerup's Love Story Examined by FBI Profiler In Segment 2 of our deep-dive into the Gilgo Beach case, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke turn their focus to the beginning — the origin story of Asa Ellerup and Rex Heuermann's relationship. What started as an act of kindness during Asa's divorce quickly evolved into a lifelong partnership built, perhaps, on imbalance. She was young, vulnerable, in need of support. He was strong, stable, and offered her something she desperately craved: a sense of family and emotional safety. But beneath that surface — according to experts and prosecutors — may have been something else entirely. Robin Dreeke examines the early dynamics of Asa and Rex's bond, including key psychological indicators of emotional grooming, dependency, and how empathy can be weaponized by manipulators. Using real behavioral science and decades of field experience, Dreeke breaks down why Rex may have been drawn to Asa—not out of love, but for how perfectly she fit into the hidden life he needed to maintain. We also explore the concept of “lack of curiosity,” a recurring behavioral trait Dreeke believes allowed Rex to operate in plain sight. This episode dissects key parts of the Peacock documentary that showcase Asa's perspective on her marriage, the home they shared, and the vault of secrets that sat quietly beneath their feet. If you're interested in the psychological mechanisms predators use to stay hidden—and the painful cost to the people closest to them—this segment offers a hauntingly clear window into how it all begins.

In this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the enigmatic history of the RMS Queen Mary, tracing her transformation from a luxurious ocean liner to a renowned haunted landmark. We'll explore documented paranormal encounters, including sightings of ghostly children and the elusive "Lady in White," and examine the psychological and environmental factors that may contribute to these enduring legends.
In this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the chilling mysteries surrounding The Dakota, one of New York's most iconic and enigmatic buildings. From its origins as a luxurious Upper West Side residence to its association with John Lennon's tragic murder, The Dakota carries a legacy of both history and hauntings. We explore the tales of spectral figures like the Crying Lady and a ghostly young girl, alongside Lennon's own eerie encounters in the building. Are these events a result of lingering energies from its storied past, or is there a psychological explanation tied to its fame and architecture? Join Tony Brew-ski as he delves into the eerie phenomena and unresolved mysteries that make The Dakota an enduring fascination for believers and skeptics alike.
Karen Read Walks Free—The Jury Has Spoken. Now What Description: In this episode of Hidden Killers, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to break down what happens next after Karen Read was acquitted of second-degree murder, manslaughter, and leaving the scene of a fatal accident in the death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe. While Read was convicted of operating under the influence, the jury's decision to acquit on all other charges stunned many observers. We examine what this verdict means for the justice system, the O'Keefe family, and the investigators who worked the case. Was this simply a matter of reasonable doubt—or does it suggest something deeper, like jury nullification? Coffindaffer weighs in on the rare legal circumstances under which a criminal verdict could be challenged, and why, in this case, a retrial is almost certainly off the table. We also explore the potential fallout: Will the case resurface in civil court? Will those who were publicly accused by proxy seek legal recourse of their own? What protections still apply, and which ones no longer do? This is more than a verdict recap—it's an expert-level breakdown of what happens when a high-profile case meets a courtroom crossroad. The jury has spoken, but the consequences of that decision are only beginning.

10 Signs Alleged Gilgo Beach Killer, Rex Heuermann's Family Missed — Behavioral Analysis from the FBI In this gripping first segment, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—former chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—joins Tony Brueski to explore the disturbing paradox at the center of the Gilgo Beach case: How did Rex Heuermann's family not know? Asa Ellerup, Rex's longtime wife, has become one of the most controversial figures in the case—not because she's accused of anything—but because of what she didn't see. In this episode, Dreeke walks us through her emotional profile, behavioral patterns, and the psychological traits that may have made her the perfect partner for a man allegedly living a double life. We examine key footage from Peacock's The Gilgo Beach Killer: Secrets of a Serial Killer and discuss the FBI's view of how people like Heuermann are able to manipulate those closest to them. Dreeke explains how serial predators often seek out partners who lack curiosity, who prioritize stability over questions, and who are more likely to rationalize away red flags in the name of love or loyalty. Is Asa a victim herself? Was she chosen for her trust, her dependence, or simply her desire to believe the best in someone? This segment breaks down not just her words, but her behaviors, her relationships, and the life she thought she was living—until the knock on the door that changed everything. If you've ever wondered how evil hides in plain sight, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.
