TWA Flight 800. July 17, 1996. JFK International Airport. Trans World Airlines Flight 800 was to takeoff for Paris, France at around 7pm EST. Various issues kept it from taking off until 8:19pm. Just 12 minutes into the flight, at 8:31pm, the plane exploded. Efforts were made to rescue anyone alive in the Atlantic Ocean from the destroyed Boeing 747, but none of the 230 passengers and crew had survived. Terrorism was suspected early on as the United States was facing threats at home and abroad. As the investigation continued, though, the evidence began to point to an issue with the plane itself.

On the afternoon of January 8, 2023, deputies from the Jersey County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to a trespassing call in Dow, Illinois. A landowner reported seeing two men riding across his fields: one on a four-wheeler and the other driving a blue Buick. When deputies caught up with one of the men, he explained that he was searching for his girlfriend, 39-year-old Kaila Vincent Vatole, who had left their residence earlier that day. He said he didn't know which direction she had gone, but he was worried about her and told deputies she might be suicidal.Given the seriousness of the situation, a search for Kaila began immediately. Deputies arrived on scene shortly after 2 p.m., and, with daylight already fading in the winter months, a helicopter was requested to cover as much ground as possible before nightfall. Several other agencies were called in to assist with the search efforts. Deputies went door to door, asking neighbors if anyone had seen Kaila, but no one had. It was as if she had simply vanished without a trace. The sheriff then contacted the Illinois State Police to request an aircraft equipped with heat-sensing technology, hoping it could locate Kaila. The pilot identified several heat signatures, but each proved to be an empty well or a culvert.They began pinging Kaila's phone. A deputy also attempted to call her several times, and that's when it was heard ringing inside the house under a pile of clothing. At that point, investigators realized Kaila had left without her phone, eliminating what might have been their strongest digital trail. In the days that followed, deputies returned to the area to search, but no trace of Kaila was found. More than three years later, what happened to Kaila Vincent Vatole remains unknown.If you have any information about the disappearance of Kaila Vincent Vatole, please contact the Jersey County Sheriff's Office at 618-498-6881.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Devil's Den tragedy shocked the nation — but the most revealing accounts aren't found in police reports. They come from the people who lived those first moments: the 911 dispatcher who heard the terror unfold in real time, and an eyewitness who watched the horror play out before authorities arrived. In this exclusive Hidden Killers episode, Tony Brueski takes you inside those raw, frantic first minutes of the double homicide that forever changed a Kentucky community. The dispatcher recounts the moment the call came in — the panic in the caller's voice, the uncertainty, the split-second decisions that can mean life or death. Her account exposes the confusion, fear, and heroism of a system responding to the unimaginable. The eyewitness adds a second layer to the timeline, describing what she saw, what she felt, and the shock that still lingers. But the episode doesn't stop there. In the second half, we hear from Katie — a stylist who interacted with alleged killer Andrew McGann multiple times before the murders. Her story reveals the chilling mundanity of evil: the soft-spoken man in a salon chair, the too-curious questions about her daughter, the awkward smiles, the unannounced after-hours visit that didn't feel overtly threatening… but didn't feel safe either. She didn't know then. She knows now. Piece by piece, Tony unpacks the patterns — the subtle red flags, the overlooked signals, the institutional failures that allowed McGann to move from school to school without accountability. These first-person accounts are not speculation; they are the lived experiences that help explain how someone who seemed “normal enough” could allegedly commit something so monstrous. This is the Devil's Den story like you've never heard it — up close, unfiltered, and unforgettable. #DevilsDen #AndrewMcGann #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #911Call #Eyewitness #TrueCrimePodcast #RedFlags #BehavioralAnalysis #DevilsDenMurders Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When Jeffrey Dahmer was finally caught in 1991, his confessions to detectives revealed the full horror of his crimes. He admitted in chilling detail that he had lured men and boys back to his apartment, where he drugged, strangled, and dismembered them. He described how he kept body parts as trophies, including skulls and bones, and in some cases engaged in acts of necrophilia and cannibalism. His willingness to recount these actions without visible remorse shocked investigators, as he openly discussed his urges, rituals, and the escalating compulsion that drove him to kill.Dahmer explained to detectives that he had begun killing in the late 1970s and that his crimes grew more methodical and grotesque over time. He spoke about his desire to create “zombies” by drilling into victims' skulls and attempting to inject chemicals, a twisted effort to make them submissive and permanently under his control. His confessions painted a picture of a man consumed by obsession, driven by both sexual compulsion and a profound need for domination. The level of detail he provided gave law enforcement the clearest view into his psyche and the systematic way he carried out his murders, making his case one of the most infamous in modern criminal history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:confession1.pdf

Ce 20 novembre 2008, une modeste cérémonie se tient en toute discrétion au crematorium du Père-Lachaise, à Paris, sur fond de musique qualifiée d'« épouvantable » par les rares personnes présentes. Un comble, si l'on connaît l'identité du défunt : Peter Ikin, 62 ans, ancien vice-président de Warner Music, producteur par le passé de Madonna, ami intime de Rod Stewart, Peter Green ou encore Elton John. Une telle carrière laisserait présager des funérailles en grande pompe et pourtant, aucune de ces vedettes autrefois fréquentées ne fait l'honneur de leur présence aujourd'hui. En lieu et place, une poignée de convives anonymes, 6 ou 7 pas plus, viennent lui rendre un bref hommage avant de déserter la salle où demeure auprès du cercueil une ombre esseulée, un jeune veuf inconsolable : Alexandre Despallières, tout juste 40 ans, tout juste lié à Peter Ikin. Leur union remonte au 10 octobre dernier, célébré dans un hôtel de ville londonien, jusqu'à ce que la mort les sépare.Crimes • Histoires Vraies est une production Minuit.

A crowded St. Patrick's night in downtown Longmont, CO. After last call, Rita Gutierrez-Garcia steps into the alley west of 3'S Bar. At 3:07 a.m., her phone dials 911…and then goes silent. And Rita never makes it home. What follows is a years-long hunt through cell data, surveillance pulls, and a no-body indictment that ends only when someone finally tells detectives exactly where to look.Source Material:Boulder County DA — Plea & Sentencing (June 3, 2022)9NEWS — Remains found; confession led investigators to Weld County (April 29, 2022)9NEWS — Grand jury indicts Juan Figueroa (March 19, 2021)Denver7 — Grand jury indictment coverage (March 19, 2021)CBS Colorado — Three years later: vigil & case status (March 2021)Longmont Times-Call — Early disappearance coverage (March 19, 2018)Vigil held on the third anniversary of Rita's disappearance (March 2021)City of Longmont — Police Department update archive (July 19, 2019)Colorado Bureau of Investigation — Case profile9NEWS — Court appearance / case progress (June 2019)The Denver Post — Early investigation coverage (April 4, 2018)Boulder County DA — Indictment announcement (newsroom roundup page; March 2021 item)Music Credit:1.

On September 19th, 2024, the justice system in Whitesburg, Kentucky ruptured in the most shocking way imaginable: Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines walked into Judge Kevin Mullins' chambers and opened fire, killing his longtime friend — just minutes after they'd shared lunch. The entire murder was captured on courthouse surveillance, leaving the community stunned and searching for answers. In this gripping episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott to examine the psychological unraveling behind a sheriff killing a judge on camera. Was this an act of madness? A collapse under pressure? Or something far more calculated? Just three days before the shooting, Stines had been deposed in a civil case involving allegations of corruption and misconduct inside his own office. Investigators are now asking whether mounting legal pressure pushed him toward a breaking point, or whether he believed silencing Mullins would somehow change his fate. Bodycam footage captured immediately afterward shows Stines muttering paranoid claims like “you're going to kill me,” even as he surrendered without resistance. Was this genuine psychosis, trauma, or an attempt to set the stage for an insanity defense? In the second half, Tony, Stacy Cole, Todd Michaels, and attorney Eric Faddis break down newly released grand jury transcripts revealing that key evidence — including a mental-health diagnosis the day before the shooting — was never presented to jurors. Intake records describing Stines as “actively psychotic,” footage showing visible paranoia, and behind-the-scenes prosecutorial decisions all raise a critical question: was justice compromised before the trial even began? This is the story of a sheriff's psychological collapse — and the cracks in a justice system now forced to confront its own failures. #MickeyStines #JudgeMullins #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #CourthouseMurder #TrueCrimePodcast #MentalHealthDefense #GrandJury #EricFaddis #PsychologicalAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Was Kevin Franke a victim of psychological manipulation — or a bystander who found it easier not to look too closely? In this gripping Hidden Killers deep dive, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott analyze one of the most troubling dynamics explored in Hulu's Devil in the Family: a father who insists he never recognized the abuse happening under his own roof. The episode begins with the psychology of Kevin's denial. How does a spouse convince themselves that extreme parenting is “discipline” rather than danger? Shavaun Scott breaks down the mechanisms of thought-reform, coercive influence, and the slow erosion of intuition. And then the most haunting question of all: what makes a father step away from his own children for an entire year because an outside “guru” told him to? But the story doesn't end with the collapse of the Franke family. Kevin recently announced his engagement, just six months after finalizing his divorce from Ruby — who is now serving a possible 30-year prison sentence for aggravated child abuse. The public reaction has been split: is this healing, deflection, or strategic rebranding? Tony and Shavaun examine the psychology of rapid re-partnering after trauma, the desire to rewrite personal identity, and the fine line between moving forward and bypassing accountability. We also explore Kevin's recent support of Utah's new “child influencer” law — a step toward protecting children exploited in monetized online content. His testimony was powerful, but does it reconcile the years he stood behind a camera while harmful parenting was broadcast to millions? This episode asks the hardest questions:  Was Kevin controlled — or complicit?  Is he rebuilding — or rebranding?  And what does accountability look like for the children who had no choice? #KevinFranke #RubyFranke #8Passengers #HiddenKillers #PsychologicalAbuse #DevilInTheFamily #ParentalAccountability #TrueCrimeAnalysis #TonyBrueski #ShavaunScott Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What would YOU do if a man already accused of dozens of crimes against your child came back and took her again? That's the impossible question at the heart of the Aaron Spencer case — a story that exposes not only a horrific personal nightmare, but a justice system many say failed at every step. In this emotional and legally complex episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and defense attorney Bob Motta walk through the events leading up to the fatal confrontation. According to reports, 67-year-old Michael Foster — already facing multiple charges involving Spencer's 14-year-old daughter — was released on a shockingly low bond. Not long after, Foster allegedly abducted her again. Aaron Spencer did what desperate parents imagine in their darkest moments: he got in his truck, tracked them down, and confronted the man he believed was repeatedly harming his child. What unfolded next resulted in Foster's death — and Spencer now charged with murder. Tony and Bob break down what prosecutors must prove, how self-defense applies, whether “defense of another” could factor in, and why some cases blur the line between vigilantism and survival instinct. But the deeper conversation is about failure: a bond decision that baffled the community, a vulnerable child allegedly left unprotected, and a father now facing prison for acting when institutions didn't. In the second half, Tony and Bob explore the uncomfortable questions circulating publicly: Is this prosecution a straightforward application of the law, or the system trying to protect itself from liability? Does the case reflect a larger pattern of institutional breakdown? And why does public outrage feel so justified? This isn't just a true crime case.  It's a national debate about parental instinct, justice, and where the system's responsibility ends. #AaronSpencer #MichaelFoster #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #BobMotta #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeSystemFailure #SelfDefenseCase #ArkansasCrime #ParentalInstinct Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What happens when a system designed to uncover truth suddenly shuts its own lights off? In this gripping dual-segment episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dig deep into the psychology of institutional protection — and the escalating political pressure surrounding the Epstein network. In the first half, Robin Dreeke breaks down how organizations drift from accountability into silence. Drawing from decades in counterintelligence, he explains how fear, ambition, and self-preservation turn institutions into shields for the powerful. Using the DOJ's shutdown of the Epstein co-conspirator probe as a case study — based on concerns raised by Rep. Jamie Raskin in his congressional letter — Robin unpacks how “strategic ignorance,” internal pressure, and denial can override the pursuit of truth. This is not about partisanship; it's about psychology, and what happens when mission gives way to reputation. Then the story widens. In an unprecedented development, the U.S. House Oversight Committee has formally requested testimony from Prince Andrew regarding his historical association with Jeffrey Epstein. This request, signed by sixteen members of Congress, cites flight logs, financial entries, and survivor allegations — all of which Andrew has consistently denied. Tony breaks down what the congressional letter asks, why lawmakers say new information has emerged, and what cooperation or refusal could mean for Andrew and the monarchy's already fragile public standing. We analyze the survivor accounts, the alleged documents now in congressional hands, and how political bodies pursue answers when other institutions stand still. No conclusions — just the claims, the context, and the psychology behind why powerful systems protect themselves. If you've ever wondered why accountability stops at certain doorways, this episode lays bare the patterns. #HiddenKillers #EpsteinCase #InstitutionalPsychology #RobinDreeke #TonyBrueski #PrinceAndrew #CongressionalInquiry #DOJ #FBI #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this chilling Hidden Killers deep dive, we confront two disturbing revelations about Bryan Kohberger — the kind that point to hidden behavior far beyond what happened on King Road. Retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to break down the unsettling possibility that Kohberger maintained secret stashes of weapons, stolen items, and trophies — and that investigators may have only scratched the surface. First, we explore the “hidey hole” theory: a private cache where Kohberger may have stored the missing KA-BAR knife, clothing, stolen items, or other evidence he didn't want to destroy. Dreeke draws direct parallels to BTK, Israel Keyes, and Robert Hansen — offenders who built entire systems of hidden drop sites to revisit, relive, and maintain control over their crimes. Kohberger's shovel with tested soil, his repeated trips to remote parks, and a long pattern of break-ins and petty theft suggest this behavior may have been developing for years. But the story gets darker. We also examine the two mystery ID cards found in Kohberger's possession — IDs belonging to women who were not his victims and who may not even know he ever had them. These weren't discovered in plain sight. They were tucked away, hidden in a glove box inside a box. Dreeke explains why offenders sometimes keep items like this: not as accidents, but as trophies, leverage, fantasies, or souvenirs of earlier intrusions. Why would a man who meticulously cleaned his car miss two IDs? He probably didn't. He simply didn't believe they were important to the crime he was trying to erase — a psychological compartmentalization common among escalating offenders. Together, these findings raise chilling questions:  • Did Kohberger have a cache?  • How many items were hidden?  • How many women were surveilled, targeted, or intruded upon?  • And how much evidence — or truth — is still buried? This is the behavioral blueprint investigators fear the most: escalation, souvenirs, and secrets carefully tucked away. #BryanKohberger #HiddenKillers #Idaho4 #FBIProfiler #EvidenceStash #TrophyBehavior #TrueCrimePodcast #CriminalPsychology #KnifeCache #RobinDreeke Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this gripping Hidden Killers deep dive, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott analyze one of the most troubling dynamics explored in Hulu's Devil in the Family: a father who insists he never recognized the abuse happening under his own roof. The episode begins with the psychology of Kevin's denial. How does a spouse convince themselves that extreme parenting is “discipline” rather than danger? Shavaun Scott breaks down the mechanisms of thought-reform, coercive influence, and the slow erosion of intuition. And then the most haunting question of all: what makes a father step away from his own children for an entire year because an outside “guru” told him to? But the story doesn't end with the collapse of the Franke family. Kevin recently announced his engagement, just six months after finalizing his divorce from Ruby — who is now serving a possible 30-year prison sentence for aggravated child abuse. The public reaction has been split: is this healing, deflection, or strategic rebranding? Tony and Shavaun examine the psychology of rapid re-partnering after trauma, the desire to rewrite personal identity, and the fine line between moving forward and bypassing accountability. We also explore Kevin's recent support of Utah's new “child influencer” law — a step toward protecting children exploited in monetized online content. His testimony was powerful, but does it reconcile the years he stood behind a camera while harmful parenting was broadcast to millions? This episode asks the hardest questions:  Was Kevin controlled — or complicit?  Is he rebuilding — or rebranding?  And what does accountability look like for the children who had no choice? #KevinFranke #RubyFranke #8Passengers #HiddenKillers #PsychologicalAbuse #DevilInTheFamily #ParentalAccountability #TrueCrimeAnalysis #TonyBrueski #ShavaunScott Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hulu's Murdaugh: Death in the Family promised to deliver the full story of South Carolina's most infamous crime dynasty — but how close does it come to the truth? In this explosive Hidden Killers breakdown, Tony Brueski pulls apart the dramatization and compares it to the real events that toppled a century-old legal empire. From the iconic 911 call and Paul's kennel video to the financial fraud that stretched across generations, the series captures the chaos — but not the full horror. Tony examines what the show nails, what it glosses over, and, most importantly, what it omits entirely: the cover-ups, the privilege, the quiet manipulation, and the systemic protection that allowed Alex Murdaugh to operate unchecked for decades. Because the real story is bigger than murder — it's about a family shielded by power until the façade cracked wide open. Then we turn to the tragedy that set the collapse in motion: the death of 19-year-old Mallory Beach. Long before Moselle became a crime scene, the Murdaugh myth began unraveling on a moonlit river. This episode revisits the boat crash, the ER intimidation campaign, and the deputies who allegedly bent procedure to protect Paul Murdaugh. It wasn't just a cover-up — it was the moment the Lowcountry finally saw the dynasty's shadow for what it was. Hulu captures the spectacle. But the truth? The truth is darker, sharper, and far more deliberate. And if you think the series told you everything… it didn't even scratch the surface. Watch this before you mistake Hollywood for history. Because what the cameras didn't show is where the real story lives — and where the Murdaugh legacy truly died. #MurdaughMurders #HuluSeries #DeathInTheFamily #TrueCrimeBreakdown #MalloryBeach #AlexMurdaugh #FactVsFiction #HiddenKillers #SouthernCorruption #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What happens when a system designed to uncover truth suddenly shuts its own lights off? In this gripping dual-segment episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dig deep into the psychology of institutional protection — and the escalating political pressure surrounding the Epstein network. In the first half, Robin Dreeke breaks down how organizations drift from accountability into silence. Drawing from decades in counterintelligence, he explains how fear, ambition, and self-preservation turn institutions into shields for the powerful. Using the DOJ's shutdown of the Epstein co-conspirator probe as a case study — based on concerns raised by Rep. Jamie Raskin in his congressional letter — Robin unpacks how “strategic ignorance,” internal pressure, and denial can override the pursuit of truth. This is not about partisanship; it's about psychology, and what happens when mission gives way to reputation. Then the story widens. In an unprecedented development, the U.S. House Oversight Committee has formally requested testimony from Prince Andrew regarding his historical association with Jeffrey Epstein. This request, signed by sixteen members of Congress, cites flight logs, financial entries, and survivor allegations — all of which Andrew has consistently denied. Tony breaks down what the congressional letter asks, why lawmakers say new information has emerged, and what cooperation or refusal could mean for Andrew and the monarchy's already fragile public standing. We analyze the survivor accounts, the alleged documents now in congressional hands, and how political bodies pursue answers when other institutions stand still. No conclusions — just the claims, the context, and the psychology behind why powerful systems protect themselves. If you've ever wondered why accountability stops at certain doorways, this episode lays bare the patterns. #HiddenKillers #EpsteinCase #InstitutionalPsychology #RobinDreeke #TonyBrueski #PrinceAndrew #CongressionalInquiry #DOJ #FBI #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this chilling Hidden Killers deep dive, we confront two disturbing revelations about Bryan Kohberger — the kind that point to hidden behavior far beyond what happened on King Road. Retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to break down the unsettling possibility that Kohberger maintained secret stashes of weapons, stolen items, and trophies — and that investigators may have only scratched the surface. First, we explore the “hidey hole” theory: a private cache where Kohberger may have stored the missing KA-BAR knife, clothing, stolen items, or other evidence he didn't want to destroy. Dreeke draws direct parallels to BTK, Israel Keyes, and Robert Hansen — offenders who built entire systems of hidden drop sites to revisit, relive, and maintain control over their crimes. Kohberger's shovel with tested soil, his repeated trips to remote parks, and a long pattern of break-ins and petty theft suggest this behavior may have been developing for years. But the story gets darker. We also examine the two mystery ID cards found in Kohberger's possession — IDs belonging to women who were not his victims and who may not even know he ever had them. These weren't discovered in plain sight. They were tucked away, hidden in a glove box inside a box. Dreeke explains why offenders sometimes keep items like this: not as accidents, but as trophies, leverage, fantasies, or souvenirs of earlier intrusions. Why would a man who meticulously cleaned his car miss two IDs? He probably didn't. He simply didn't believe they were important to the crime he was trying to erase — a psychological compartmentalization common among escalating offenders. Together, these findings raise chilling questions:  • Did Kohberger have a cache?  • How many items were hidden?  • How many women were surveilled, targeted, or intruded upon?  • And how much evidence — or truth — is still buried? This is the behavioral blueprint investigators fear the most: escalation, souvenirs, and secrets carefully tucked away. #BryanKohberger #HiddenKillers #Idaho4 #FBIProfiler #EvidenceStash #TrophyBehavior #TrueCrimePodcast #CriminalPsychology #KnifeCache #RobinDreeke Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jeffrey Dahmer, also known as the "Milwaukee Cannibal" or the "Milwaukee Monster," was an American serial killer and sex offender. He gained notoriety for a gruesome series of murders and acts of necrophilia and cannibalism that occurred in the 1980s and early 1990s. Here is a summary of his life and crimes:Early Life: Jeffrey Dahmer was born on May 21, 1960, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. He grew up in a seemingly normal family but exhibited troubling behavior as a child, including an early fascination with dead animals.First Murder: His killing spree began in 1978, shortly after high school graduation, when he murdered a hitchhiker named Steven Hicks. Dahmer later said this was the point at which he felt a compulsion to kill.Modus Operandi: Dahmer's modus operandi involved luring young men, often of Asian or African-American descent, to his apartment. He would then drug and strangle them, engaging in sexual acts with the corpses and sometimes dismembering them.Arrest and Imprisonment: Dahmer's crimes went undetected for years. However, in 1991, police arrested him for a different reason and discovered gruesome evidence in his apartment, leading to his arrest and eventual conviction.Confessions: Dahmer confessed to the murders of 17 young men and boys, revealing chilling details of his crimes during interrogations. He showed a complete lack of remorse for his actions.Trial and Sentencing: In 1992, Dahmer went to trial in Wisconsin. He was found guilty of 15 counts of murder and sentenced to 16 consecutive life terms in prison without the possibility of parole.Death in Prison: On November 28, 1994, Dahmer was murdered by a fellow inmate, Christopher Scarver, in a prison in Portage, Wisconsin. Scarver also killed another inmate during the same attack.In a new documentary being presented by Fox, we are hearing never before released audio of Jeffrey Dahmer and his father during a phone call where Dahmer admits to his father that he kept body parts from a victim in a box at his grandmothers house. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EXCLUSIVE: Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer bragged to his father that he kept the mummified head and genitals of one of his victims in a box in his grandmother's basement, never-before-heard prison phone call reveals | Daily Mail Online

When Jeffrey Dahmer was finally caught in 1991, his confessions to detectives revealed the full horror of his crimes. He admitted in chilling detail that he had lured men and boys back to his apartment, where he drugged, strangled, and dismembered them. He described how he kept body parts as trophies, including skulls and bones, and in some cases engaged in acts of necrophilia and cannibalism. His willingness to recount these actions without visible remorse shocked investigators, as he openly discussed his urges, rituals, and the escalating compulsion that drove him to kill.Dahmer explained to detectives that he had begun killing in the late 1970s and that his crimes grew more methodical and grotesque over time. He spoke about his desire to create “zombies” by drilling into victims' skulls and attempting to inject chemicals, a twisted effort to make them submissive and permanently under his control. His confessions painted a picture of a man consumed by obsession, driven by both sexual compulsion and a profound need for domination. The level of detail he provided gave law enforcement the clearest view into his psyche and the systematic way he carried out his murders, making his case one of the most infamous in modern criminal history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:confession1.pdf

What would motivate a man to brutally stab his wife, and the mother of his children, forty-four times, and then drown her in their swimming pool? In 1997, Scott Falater was accused of doing just that, but claimed he had no memory of doing so because he was sleepwalking.#CourtTV - What do YOU think?Binge all episodes of #JudgmentwithAshleighBanfield here: https://www.courttv.com/trials/judgment-with-ashleigh-banfield-on-demand/Watch 24/7 Court TV LIVE Stream Today https://www.courttv.com/Join the Investigation Newsletter https://www.courttv.com/email/Court TV Podcast https://www.courttv.com/podcast/Join the Court TV Community to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo5E9pEhK_9kWG7-5HHcyRg/joinFOLLOW THE CASE:Facebook https://www.facebook.com/courttvTwitter/X https://twitter.com/CourtTVInstagram https://www.instagram.com/courttvnetwork/TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@courttvliveYouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/COURTTVWATCH +140 FREE TRIALS IN THE COURT TV ARCHIVEhttps://www.courttv.com/trials/HOW TO FIND COURT TVhttps://www.courttv.com/where-to-watch/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In today's explosive Hidden Killers episode, we confront two of the most unsettling questions still hanging over the Bryan Kohberger case: Was he stalking other women long before the murders — and did investigators miss critical evidence that could reveal the full scope of his behavior? Tony Brueski brings together new reporting, behavioral analysis, and expert insight to examine the disturbing possibility that the Moscow murders were not Kohberger's first intrusion — and may not have been his last attempt at gaining control over women he watched, followed, or targeted. Unsealed documents now suggest Kohberger may have entered the King Road home prior to the murders, explaining his precision during the attack. But that revelation unlocks deeper implications when paired with a chilling 2021 break-in in Pullman, where a masked intruder armed with a knife slipped into a home full of sleeping sorority members. Nobody was harmed. But the parallels — the geography, the weapon, the behavioral signature — are impossible to ignore. Was he testing boundaries? Testing fear? Testing himself? Then retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony to analyze whether investigators — despite their massive effort — may have missed key evidence in the chaotic crime scene aftermath. A three-person DNA mixture under a victim's nails, inconsistencies in injury documentation, and the inherent difficulty of processing an ultra-violent, multi-victim scene leave open the question of whether critical clues slipped through the cracks. We examine how crime scene pressure, overwhelming public scrutiny, and the singular focus on Kohberger could have narrowed the investigative lens too soon. Did they catch the right man? Yes. But did they catch every part of what he did? That's a different question. This episode ties it all together — the stalking, the intrusions, the behavioral pattern, and the forensic blind spots — painting a picture of a suspect whose trail may stretch further than the public ever realized. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #HiddenKillers #CriminalPsychology #StalkingBehavior #ForensicAnalysis #JenniferCoffindaffer #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast #KohbergerInvestigation Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this 2025 Year-in-Review Hidden Killers special, we bring together the two most explosive pillars of the case against Donna Adelson: the alleged long-term orchestration of a murder-for-hire plot — and the undercover “bump” that may have exposed her entire operation in a single moment. Tony Brueski sits down with defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis, along with retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke, to deliver the most complete psychological and legal breakdown of Donna Adelson we've produced yet. We start with the big question hanging over the entire trial: Was Donna Adelson the mastermind — or a woman unraveling under the weight of her own control? From her children's emotionally distant testimony, to the 44 paychecks she allegedly signed for the intermediary, to the one-way ticket to Vietnam waiting in her drawer, the case is stacked with bizarre behavior, shifting loyalties, and damning digital evidence. Then we go to the moment everything cracked: the undercover FBI “bump.” When investigators handed Donna a flyer implying someone “knew everything,” she didn't panic. She didn't break. She didn't even call her husband. Instead — just 22 minutes later — she quietly phoned her son Charlie. The money flow to the alleged conspirators stopped instantly. Robin Dreeke dissects this reaction, explaining why the lack of visible fear might be the most incriminating behavior of all. A normal grandmother would freeze. Donna recalibrated. And that, he says, is the psychological tell investigators look for. Together, these revelations paint a portrait of a woman who prosecutors claim coordinated, concealed, and controlled every variable — until the moment one piece of paper hit her lap and her mask slipped. Is Donna Adelson a misunderstood mother caught in chaos? Or the architect of a conspiracy now collapsing around her? #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #EricFaddis #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #BehavioralAnalysis #CourtroomDrama #FamilyCrime

Alex Murdaugh didn't commit his crimes alone — and today, one of his most essential enablers is finally facing real consequences. In this explosive Hidden Killers breakdown, Tony Brueski unpacks the downfall of Russell Laffitte, the former CEO of Palmetto State Bank and heir to a century-old Lowcountry dynasty, who has now been sentenced in both state and federal court for bank fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy. For years, Laffitte wasn't just a banker — he was the engine behind Murdaugh's schemes. This episode goes inside the financial machinery of the Murdaugh empire. Laffitte approved illegal loans, drained conservatorship accounts, and siphoned money from some of the most vulnerable victims imaginable: grieving families, injured clients, and people who trusted the justice system. He didn't pull a trigger at Moselle — but he kept the money flowing long enough for Murdaugh to destroy countless lives. We examine how the fraud worked, why it continued for so long, and how small-town privilege and legacy allowed Laffitte to operate unchecked. Was he manipulated by Murdaugh's charm and pressure, or was he a fully willing architect of the deceit? His courtroom shift from defiant innocence to sudden guilty plea raises its own questions — and reveals how quickly loyalty evaporates when prison becomes real. Tony breaks down the biggest victims in the financial web, including the stolen settlements of Hakeem Pinckney, the Badger family, and others whose tragedies were exploited for profit. And we explore what Laffitte's sentencing means for the broader Murdaugh universe: Who else knew? Who else helped? And who might be next? If you thought the Murdaugh case was just about murder, this episode exposes the darker truth — that behind every monster is the person who keeps the machine running. #Murdaugh #RussellLaffitte #MurdaughMurders #TrueCrimePodcast #FinancialCrime #BankFraud #HiddenKillers #SouthCarolinaCrime #WhiteCollarCrime #PalmettoStateBank Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tonight on Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski reads — in full — the November 3, 2025 letter sent by Congressman Jamie Raskin to Attorney General Pam Bondi, demanding answers about what he calls a “gigantic cover-up” surrounding the shutdown of the Epstein co-conspirator investigation. The claims laid out in this letter are extraordinary, and they raise questions that cut to the heart of how justice works in America. According to Raskin's letter, until early 2025 the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York was still pursuing leads involving Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's alleged co-conspirators. Nearly fifty survivors had reportedly provided testimony naming individuals connected to the trafficking network. Raskin alleges the investigation was active, growing, and producing evidence — until it was suddenly transferred from SDNY to DOJ headquarters in Washington, D.C. Six months later, the case was closed. In his letter, Raskin asks the DOJ to explain: • Why a federal trafficking probe was halted mid-investigation • Why banks reportedly flagged over $1.5 billion in Epstein-linked transactions without follow-up • Why survivors whose testimony helped convict Ghislaine Maxwell were later assessed as “not credible” • And whether the closure protected certain individuals from scrutiny Tony Brueski reads the entire letter unedited and uninterrupted, allowing listeners to hear Raskin's concerns exactly as written. This episode does not claim the allegations are proven — it presents the congressional questions now publicly on the record. If these claims are accurate, the implications are enormous. If they're not, why were they raised at all? Tonight, you hear the letter — and decide for yourself. #JamieRaskin #EpsteinInvestigation #JeffreyEpstein #GhislaineMaxwell #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #DOJ #FBI #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeForSurvivors Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Scott Peterson case has never been short on controversy, but the newest filings from the Los Angeles Innocence Project may be the most explosive revelations yet. In this Hidden Killers investigation, Tony Brueski breaks down two seismic developments that could shake the foundation of one of America's most famous murder convictions. First: the alleged destruction of key evidence. According to internal Modesto Police logs cited in the LA Innocence Project's 600-page petition, detectives met behind closed doors on May 6, 2003, to discuss discovery decisions. By the next day, two major items were reportedly marked for destruction: • The videotaped interrogations of Medina-burglary suspects Steven Todd and Glenn Pierce • The safe stolen from the Medina home, just yards from the Peterson residence Within weeks, the petition claims, both were gone — no copies, no transcripts, no forensic testing. California law is clear: under Trombetta and Youngblood, intentional destruction of potentially exculpatory evidence can constitute a constitutional violation. If these allegations are accurate, the petition argues, this wasn't a mistake. It was a turning point. Then comes the second bombshell: the recantation of the very expert whose testimony jurors described as “the nail in the coffin.” Dr. Terry D'Vor now states that updated NIH and WHO fetal-growth data contradict his 2004 conclusions, showing baby Connor's measurements were consistent with a January death — when Scott Peterson was already under round-the-clock surveillance. If modern science shifts the timeline, the prosecution's central theory may not survive. This episode unpacks the evidence, the science, and the law — and asks whether the case against Scott Peterson is structurally sound… or structurally broken. #ScottPeterson #LaciPeterson #LAInnocenceProject #HiddenKillers #WrongfulConviction #ForensicScience #EvidenceDestruction #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimeAnalysis #JusticeForLaci Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Unsealed documents now suggest Kohberger may have entered the King Road home prior to the murders, explaining his precision during the attack. But that revelation unlocks deeper implications when paired with a chilling 2021 break-in in Pullman, where a masked intruder armed with a knife slipped into a home full of sleeping sorority members. Nobody was harmed. But the parallels — the geography, the weapon, the behavioral signature — are impossible to ignore. Was he testing boundaries? Testing fear? Testing himself? Then retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony to analyze whether investigators — despite their massive effort — may have missed key evidence in the chaotic crime scene aftermath. A three-person DNA mixture under a victim's nails, inconsistencies in injury documentation, and the inherent difficulty of processing an ultra-violent, multi-victim scene leave open the question of whether critical clues slipped through the cracks. We examine how crime scene pressure, overwhelming public scrutiny, and the singular focus on Kohberger could have narrowed the investigative lens too soon. Did they catch the right man? Yes. But did they catch every part of what he did? That's a different question. This episode ties it all together — the stalking, the intrusions, the behavioral pattern, and the forensic blind spots — painting a picture of a suspect whose trail may stretch further than the public ever realized. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #HiddenKillers #CriminalPsychology #StalkingBehavior #ForensicAnalysis #JenniferCoffindaffer #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast #KohbergerInvestigation Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Alex Murdaugh didn't commit his crimes alone — and today, one of his most essential enablers is finally facing real consequences. In this explosive Hidden Killers breakdown, Tony Brueski unpacks the downfall of Russell Laffitte, the former CEO of Palmetto State Bank and heir to a century-old Lowcountry dynasty, who has now been sentenced in both state and federal court for bank fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy. For years, Laffitte wasn't just a banker — he was the engine behind Murdaugh's schemes. This episode goes inside the financial machinery of the Murdaugh empire. Laffitte approved illegal loans, drained conservatorship accounts, and siphoned money from some of the most vulnerable victims imaginable: grieving families, injured clients, and people who trusted the justice system. He didn't pull a trigger at Moselle — but he kept the money flowing long enough for Murdaugh to destroy countless lives. We examine how the fraud worked, why it continued for so long, and how small-town privilege and legacy allowed Laffitte to operate unchecked. Was he manipulated by Murdaugh's charm and pressure, or was he a fully willing architect of the deceit? His courtroom shift from defiant innocence to sudden guilty plea raises its own questions — and reveals how quickly loyalty evaporates when prison becomes real. Tony breaks down the biggest victims in the financial web, including the stolen settlements of Hakeem Pinckney, the Badger family, and others whose tragedies were exploited for profit. And we explore what Laffitte's sentencing means for the broader Murdaugh universe: Who else knew? Who else helped? And who might be next? If you thought the Murdaugh case was just about murder, this episode exposes the darker truth — that behind every monster is the person who keeps the machine running. #Murdaugh #RussellLaffitte #MurdaughMurders #TrueCrimePodcast #FinancialCrime #BankFraud #HiddenKillers #SouthCarolinaCrime #WhiteCollarCrime #PalmettoStateBank Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this 2025 Year-in-Review Hidden Killers special, we bring together the two most explosive pillars of the case against Donna Adelson: the alleged long-term orchestration of a murder-for-hire plot — and the undercover “bump” that may have exposed her entire operation in a single moment. Tony Brueski sits down with defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis, along with retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke, to deliver the most complete psychological and legal breakdown of Donna Adelson we've produced yet. We start with the big question hanging over the entire trial: Was Donna Adelson the mastermind — or a woman unraveling under the weight of her own control? From her children's emotionally distant testimony, to the 44 paychecks she allegedly signed for the intermediary, to the one-way ticket to Vietnam waiting in her drawer, the case is stacked with bizarre behavior, shifting loyalties, and damning digital evidence. Then we go to the moment everything cracked: the undercover FBI “bump.” When investigators handed Donna a flyer implying someone “knew everything,” she didn't panic. She didn't break. She didn't even call her husband. Instead — just 22 minutes later — she quietly phoned her son Charlie. The money flow to the alleged conspirators stopped instantly. Robin Dreeke dissects this reaction, explaining why the lack of visible fear might be the most incriminating behavior of all. A normal grandmother would freeze. Donna recalibrated. And that, he says, is the psychological tell investigators look for. Together, these revelations paint a portrait of a woman who prosecutors claim coordinated, concealed, and controlled every variable — until the moment one piece of paper hit her lap and her mask slipped. Is Donna Adelson a misunderstood mother caught in chaos? Or the architect of a conspiracy now collapsing around her? #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #EricFaddis #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #BehavioralAnalysis #CourtroomDrama #FamilyCrime

Tonight on Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski reads — in full — the November 3, 2025 letter sent by Congressman Jamie Raskin to Attorney General Pam Bondi, demanding answers about what he calls a “gigantic cover-up” surrounding the shutdown of the Epstein co-conspirator investigation. The claims laid out in this letter are extraordinary, and they raise questions that cut to the heart of how justice works in America. According to Raskin's letter, until early 2025 the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York was still pursuing leads involving Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's alleged co-conspirators. Nearly fifty survivors had reportedly provided testimony naming individuals connected to the trafficking network. Raskin alleges the investigation was active, growing, and producing evidence — until it was suddenly transferred from SDNY to DOJ headquarters in Washington, D.C. Six months later, the case was closed. In his letter, Raskin asks the DOJ to explain: • Why a federal trafficking probe was halted mid-investigation • Why banks reportedly flagged over $1.5 billion in Epstein-linked transactions without follow-up • Why survivors whose testimony helped convict Ghislaine Maxwell were later assessed as “not credible” • And whether the closure protected certain individuals from scrutiny Tony Brueski reads the entire letter unedited and uninterrupted, allowing listeners to hear Raskin's concerns exactly as written. This episode does not claim the allegations are proven — it presents the congressional questions now publicly on the record. If these claims are accurate, the implications are enormous. If they're not, why were they raised at all? Tonight, you hear the letter — and decide for yourself. #JamieRaskin #EpsteinInvestigation #JeffreyEpstein #GhislaineMaxwell #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #DOJ #FBI #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeForSurvivors Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Scott Peterson case has never been short on controversy, but the newest filings from the Los Angeles Innocence Project may be the most explosive revelations yet. In this Hidden Killers investigation, Tony Brueski breaks down two seismic developments that could shake the foundation of one of America's most famous murder convictions. First: the alleged destruction of key evidence. According to internal Modesto Police logs cited in the LA Innocence Project's 600-page petition, detectives met behind closed doors on May 6, 2003, to discuss discovery decisions. By the next day, two major items were reportedly marked for destruction: • The videotaped interrogations of Medina-burglary suspects Steven Todd and Glenn Pierce • The safe stolen from the Medina home, just yards from the Peterson residence Within weeks, the petition claims, both were gone — no copies, no transcripts, no forensic testing. California law is clear: under Trombetta and Youngblood, intentional destruction of potentially exculpatory evidence can constitute a constitutional violation. If these allegations are accurate, the petition argues, this wasn't a mistake. It was a turning point. Then comes the second bombshell: the recantation of the very expert whose testimony jurors described as “the nail in the coffin.” Dr. Terry D'Vor now states that updated NIH and WHO fetal-growth data contradict his 2004 conclusions, showing baby Connor's measurements were consistent with a January death — when Scott Peterson was already under round-the-clock surveillance. If modern science shifts the timeline, the prosecution's central theory may not survive. This episode unpacks the evidence, the science, and the law — and asks whether the case against Scott Peterson is structurally sound… or structurally broken. #ScottPeterson #LaciPeterson #LAInnocenceProject #HiddenKillers #WrongfulConviction #ForensicScience #EvidenceDestruction #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimeAnalysis #JusticeForLaci Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When Ashlee Buzzard stood in court and entered a not guilty plea, outrage followed almost instantly. For many watching from the outside, especially in a case involving the death of a child, that moment felt unbearable. How could someone who's been accused of something so horrific not plead guilty? We've seen this same reaction play out repeatedly, not just in the Buzzard case, but in other emotionally charged prosecutions like the Rob and Michelle Reiner homicide and the Daybell murders, cases where the severity of the crime collides head-on with the realities of constitutional process.Let's explore why guilty pleas almost never happen at the arraignment, why that moment in court is procedural and not moral, and then, why demanding speed in cases like this often undermines the very justice people are asking for. Profiling Evil breaks down how life sentences actually work in the United States and why “life without parole” doesn't always mean what people think it means. How does the United States compare to the rest of the world when it comes to permanent punishment, are we an outlier, and what does all of this mean for victims, families, and a justice system trying to balance accountability with constitutional limits? This video is not about sympathy. It's about understanding the system we rely on to speak for the dead.#MelodeeBuzzard #AshleeBuzzard #RobReiner #MichelleReiner #NickReiner JJVallow #TyleeRyan #CharlesVallow #TammyDaybell #Chad Daybell #LoriDaybell #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #Homicide #Murder #Missing #Utah #California #Idaho #Court #Criminal #Behavior #Crime #LifeWithoutParole #LWOP #DeathPenalty #Justice========================================20% OFF Newspapers.com https://newspapers.com/profilingevil========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================
