Hidden Killers Live! 2 Hours Of True Crime Daily!

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.

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. 🔹 PART 1: The Sheriff & The Judge — A Courthouse Murder in Kentucky  Sheriff Shawn "Mickey" Stines walked into Judge Kevin Mullins' chambers and opened fire. The shooting was caught on surveillance, but the backstory is even darker: civil rights lawsuits, sexual coercion, and a courthouse culture where abuse wasn’t just tolerated — it thrived. With Robin Dreeke, we break down the behavioral collapse that turned a courthouse into a crime scene. 🔹 PART 2: Celeste Rivas & the Tesla Trunk Death — Artist d4vd at the Center  A teenage girl is found dead in the front trunk of a Tesla tied to rising music star d4vd. She was never reported missing. No arrest. No statement. Just silence. Former FBI profiler Robin Dreeke joins us to analyze the behavior behind the silence — from grooming dynamics to legal distancing — and what the frunk placement reveals psychologically. 🔹 PART 3: Diddy’s Sentencing — Cassie Ventura’s Letter & the Collapse of an Image  Sean “Diddy” Combs is sentenced to 50 months in federal prison. But the real story happened before the gavel dropped — in Cassie Ventura’s brutal victim impact letter, in the defense’s campaign-style video plea, and in the judge’s refusal to flinch. We walk through the court record, the government's takedown, and the exact moment branding failed. This isn’t just true crime. This is behavioral analysis, narrative deconstruction, and survivor-centered storytelling — the kind you won’t find in headlines. 🔔 Subscribe now for more deep dives into the darkest corners of power, justice, and the psychological patterns that connect them all. #HiddenKillers #DiddySentencing #CassieVentura #CelesteRivas #d4vd #SheriffStines #JudgeMullins #TrueCrimePodcast #AbuseOfPower #RobinDreeke Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

No Parole, No Air Conditioning, No Escape: Donna Adelson’s Prison Reality What happens when the woman who orchestrated murder for family legacy wakes up in a concrete box with no A/C, no privacy, and no Plan B?  This isn’t a spa day. This is Florida Department of Corrections. In this scorching breakdown, Hidden Killers takes you deep inside what Donna Adelson’s life is about to become. Sentenced to life in prison at age 75, Donna is likely headed to Lowell Correctional, a facility described by the DOJ as leaving women “at substantial risk of sexual abuse” and systemic neglect. We walk through what comes next:  ➡️ The chaos of intake at the Women’s Reception Center  ➡️ The psychological violence of “suicide watch”  ➡️ The secret barter system of kosher trays and commissary V8 juice  ➡️ The total collapse of privacy, power, and dignity This isn’t orange-jumpsuit TV drama. This is what it means when the justice system actually sticks. And here’s the kicker: Donna may spend her last years not in court or with family, but sharing a fan with a stranger and fighting for floor space near a vent. There’s no fast-forward. There’s no fade-out. There’s only the daily grind. 🏷️ Hashtags #DonnaAdelson #PrisonLife #NoEscape #TrueCrimeJustice #FloridaDOC #LowellCorrectional #HiddenKillers #ElderlyInmates #PrisonEconomy #JusticeServed Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

From Caviar to Commissary: Donna Adelson’s Brutal New Life in Prison She once ruled a Miami dental empire—now she’s learning to trade ramen for favors and sleep through screams in 100-degree heat.  At 75 years old, Donna Adelson has been convicted of first-degree murder and is staring down the rest of her life in a Florida prison system known for its brutality, its heat, and its utter indifference to wealth, age, or legacy. In this Hidden Killers breakdown, we examine Donna’s likely trajectory from county jail to Florida Women’s Reception Center… and ultimately to Lowell Correctional Institution, one of the most notorious women’s prisons in America. What awaits her? Endless noise, public showers, no privacy, and a new power structure where money means nothing—and respect has to be earned in ramen packets. We pull apart what life really looks like for women inside Lowell, especially aging inmates: the sweat-drenched dorms, the hidden hustle economy, the kosher-tray bartering system, and the constant emotional pressure of knowing you’re never getting out. Featuring real accounts, DOJ reports, and behind-the-scenes insights, we ask: Can Donna survive this world—or will she become someone entirely different trying to adapt? 🏷️ Hashtags #DonnaAdelson #LifeInPrison #LowellCorrectional #HiddenKillers #NoParole #PrisonReality #TrueCrime #PrisonBreakdown #WomenInPrison #FloridaDOC Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Is Diddy’s Jail Letter & “Free Game” Class a Redemption Arc or Reputation Rehab? Sean “Diddy” Combs says he’s changed. He says he’s found God, humility, and sobriety behind bars. But in this episode of Hidden Killers Live, we ask the real question: Is this redemption—or a rebrand? We’re joined by former FBI Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke to examine Diddy’s 9-page letter to Judge Subramanian. It’s emotional. It’s detailed. But is it strategic? Then we dive into Diddy’s new jailhouse initiative: Free Game with Diddy—a six-week mindset class he claims has unified gang members, taught business skills, and given him purpose. Admirable? Maybe. Or maybe it’s the kind of carefully constructed narrative high-control personalities use when the cameras turn against them. Robin takes us inside the tactics:  ▶️ Language cues that reveal intent  ▶️ Power dynamics in confined systems  ▶️ How manipulation thrives behind bars We’re not here to cancel—we’re here to question. Because when someone who built an empire on control and image starts teaching redemption inside jail, we need to ask: Who’s the lesson really for? 🔖 Hashtags #Diddy #FreeGameWithDiddy #JudgeLetter #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimePodcast #RedemptionOrRebrand #HiddenKillersLive #FBIAnalysis #CelebrityManipulation #PrisonPsychology Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

FBI Profiler Breaks Down Diddy’s Letter & Jailhouse Class Strategy What does a plea for mercy sound like when it's written by one of the most powerful figures in entertainment—and what does it reveal beneath the surface? In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, we’re joined by retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to break down the full letter Sean “Diddy” Combs sent to the judge ahead of sentencing. It’s a letter full of remorse, spiritual language, and a plea for second chances—but is it sincere, or is it tactically engineered for a court that’s seen it all? Dreeke analyzes the behavioral language line by line—what’s genuine, what raises red flags, and how high-profile offenders often craft letters as part of reputation management strategies, not just repentance. Then we turn to "Free Game with Diddy", the jailhouse course Combs says he developed for inmates. Is it a story of redemption and leadership? Or another layer of narrative control from a man who built an empire on charisma and influence? From emotional manipulation to calculated timing, Robin Dreeke breaks down the psychological blueprint of power, guilt, and self-preservation behind bars. Watch, listen, and decide for yourself: Is Diddy evolving—or performing? 🔖 Hashtags #DiddyLetter #RobinDreeke #FBIProfiler #DiddyApology #FreeGameWithDiddy #TrueCrime #HiddenKillersLive #CelebrityJustice #BehavioralAnalysis #DiddySentencing Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Diddy’s Apology Letter Exposed & Donna Adelson’s Prison Reality | Hidden Killers Live This isn’t about guilt or innocence—it’s about what happens when control finally slips. In this gripping two-hour edition of Hidden Killers Live, we’re pulling back the curtain on two people who once commanded power, loyalty, and luxury—and are now forced to survive inside systems they can’t influence anymore. 🔹 HOUR 1: Diddy — The Letter, the Class, the Performance? Before sentencing, Sean “Diddy” Combs wrote a deeply personal letter to the judge, claiming sobriety, remorse, and transformation. But beneath the poetic phrasing lies a different story—one that FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke helps us decode line by line. We ask: Are Diddy’s words authentic—or strategically engineered? Is his “Free Game” jailhouse course a redemptive act—or another chapter in narrative control? How do high-power personalities shift tactics when charm and money no longer apply? This isn’t just a celebrity apology. It’s a blueprint of survival behind bars—crafted by someone who built a life on influence. 🔹 HOUR 2: Donna Adelson — No Parole, No Power, No Escape Then, we move to Donna Adelson, sentenced to life for orchestrating the murder of her former son-in-law. At 75, she's entering the brutal world of Florida’s prison system—where wealth means nothing and your only currency is how well you adapt. We walk through: The emotional shock of reception and suicide watch The dangerous reality of Lowell Correctional Institution The hidden hustles, the unbearable heat, and the psychological toll of aging with no way out Donna once ran a family empire. Now, she may be lucky to secure a spot near a fan. What happens when you lose not just your freedom, but every identity you built to protect yourself? From reputation rehab to institutional reckoning, this episode reveals what justice looks like when public image collapses—and only raw human behavior remains. 🏷️ HASHTAGS: #Diddy #DonnaAdelson #HiddenKillersLive #RobinDreeke #JudgeLetter #FreeGameWithDiddy #LowellCorrectional #TrueCrime #PrisonPsychology #CelebrityAccountability #FBIProfiler #MurderForHire #NoParole Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Will Prison Break Donna Adelson—Or Will She Adapt and Thrive? She manipulated wealth, family, and even murder. But prison doesn’t play that game.  At 75, Donna Adelson has been sentenced to life for her role in a murder-for-hire plot—and now the only system she can’t charm, buy, or spin is about to take over. In this Hidden Killers breakdown, we explore the psychological disintegration that often comes for first-time inmates, especially older women, and why Florida prison may be the most punishing environment imaginable for someone like Donna. From the trauma of reception intake and suicide watch, to the harsh realities of Lowell Correctional’s noise, heat, and constant vulnerability, we ask: ➡️ Will Donna adapt, manipulate, or break down?  ➡️ Can she find a new identity in a world where status means nothing?  ➡️ And what does justice look like when the punishment is psychological as much as physical? With real reports from inside Florida DOC, firsthand survivor accounts, and expert insight into institutional behavior, we bring you the prison reality you don’t see on TV—and what it might do to a woman who once thought she’d die with power. 🏷️ Hashtags #DonnaAdelson #PrisonPsychology #HiddenKillers #JusticeSystem #ElderlyInmates #LowellCorrectional #NoParole #PrisonLifeBreakdown #TrueCrime #MurderForHire Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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. 🔖 Hashtags #Diddy #SeanCombs #RobinDreeke #JudgeLetter #FBIProfiler #PrisonPersona #TrueCrimeAnalysis #HiddenKillersLive #CelebrityAccountability #ManipulationVsRemorse Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

From Celeste’s Death to Diddy’s Sentencing: What Prosecutors Aren’t Saying A missing teenager.  A decomposed body found in a Tesla.  No charges. No suspects. Just silence.  Meanwhile — in a different courtroom — a global music icon awaits a sentence that could stretch into the next decade. In this episode of Hidden Killers, we sit down with former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis to tackle two of the most widely watched legal stories of the moment: The stalled investigation into Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was found in the front trunk of a Tesla linked to the artist d4vd — and The upcoming federal sentencing of Sean “Diddy” Combs, whose plea deal has sparked national backlash over justice, celebrity, and accountability. Faddis gives us a legal deep dive into: Why Celeste’s case still hasn’t resulted in charges — and what legal thresholds are holding it back Whether celebrity protection is at play behind the scenes — or if the evidence simply isn’t strong enough The exact legal standard for charging someone with body concealment when cause of death is still unknown How Diddy’s sentencing could swing from 14 months to 11 years — and why uncharged conduct like sex abuse is still influencing the outcome What the courts can consider when high-profile names collide with public outrage, victim impact statements, and sentencing guidelines And most importantly — how two very different cases reveal the same systemic tension: what happens when prosecutors hold back, and justice delays itself This isn’t about drama. It’s about law — and what it takes to make it move when the stakes are enormous. 🔖 HASHTAGS #CelesteRivasHernandez #Diddy #d4vd #EricFaddis #TrueCrime #TeslaFrunk #FederalSentencing #JusticeForCeleste #HiddenKillers #CelebrityJustice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

FBI Insider on D4VD & Celeste Rivas: The Mistakes, The Delays, The Timeline That Doesn’t Add Up Celeste Rivas Hernandez was reported missing in April 2024. But five months later, she was caught on camera — alive and near home. Then, one year later to the day, her decomposed body was discovered in the front trunk of a Tesla linked to music artist d4vd. The car had been sitting on a public street. Then it was ticketed. Then it was towed. No one checked it. No one noticed. Until the smell. And now?  Still no charges. Still no confirmed suspect.  Just a deferred cause of death. And a growing sense that something — or someone — is being missed. In this episode of Hidden Killers, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer walks us through what this case looks like through the lens of someone who’s handled high-profile, high-risk investigations — the kind where the victim is a child, the timeline is broken, and the forensic trail is already cold. She lays out: What should have happened in the first 24 hours after the body was found What kind of evidence is lost forever if you don’t move fast — and what might still be recoverable How the FBI builds working timelines when a “missing” child turns up on camera months later Whether the Tesla's onboard tech could actually reveal who last accessed the car The red flags she sees in the tow yard timeline, family silence, media pressure, and the lack of a confirmed crime scene And why “no charges” right now doesn’t necessarily mean no case — but it does mean time is running out This isn’t theory. This is how a real federal agent thinks, moves, and investigates when the victim is 14 — and the system may already be failing her.

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. 🧵 Hashtags #EllenGreenberg #HiddenKillersLive #ShavaunScott #MentalHealth #CrimeSceneFailure #JusticeForEllen #SuicideOrHomicide #DeathInApartment603 #TrueCrimePsychology #InstitutionalBetrayal Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

20 Stab Wounds, a Cleaned Crime Scene, and No Charges: What Really Happened to Ellen Greenberg? She was 27. A teacher. Engaged. Found with 20 stab wounds — 10 to the back of her neck — and a knife lodged in her chest. This is the case of Ellen Greenberg, and what’s coming to light now in the Hulu docuseries Death in Apartment 603 is nothing short of staggering. In this segment of Hidden Killers Live, we take you through the most disturbing parts of this case: the 911 call that framed Ellen’s death as a suicide before CPR even began, the crime scene that was cleaned before detectives could investigate, the devices removed from the apartment by her fiancé’s uncle, and the original homicide ruling that quietly got reversed with no new evidence. You’ll hear how Sam Goldberg, her fiancé, was seen pacing the hallway, agitated and shouting. How the scene was described as “serene” by the property manager — like someone had cleaned up before investigators ever got there. And how professional hazmat crews ran the dishwasher and wiped everything down before detectives returned to what was, at one point, being treated as a suspicious death. We also dig into Sam’s strange postmortem behavior. The texts. The conversations. The chilling lack of questions. And the now-infamous moment where he reportedly asked, “Do you think I killed her?” This isn’t just a bad investigation. This is what it looks like when a system decides to stop asking questions — even when the answers are bleeding from every angle of the scene. Was it a cover-up? Or the most catastrophic series of investigative failures we’ve seen in recent memory? Watch the segment. Hear the audio. Follow the timeline.  And then ask yourself — if this isn’t murder, what is? 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. 🧵 Hashtags #EllenGreenberg #DeathInApartment603 #CrimeSceneCoverup #TrueCrime #HiddenKillersLive #JusticeForEllen #911Call #SamGoldberg #ForensicFailure #ColdCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna & Charlie Adelson Behind Bars: Tantrums, Tablets, and Toe Trauma-WEEK IN REVIEW Dan Markel was murdered in 2014 in one of the most shocking custody-related hit jobs in American legal history. Now that two of the key players—Donna and Charlie Adelson—are behind bars, how are they handling it? Spoiler: Not well. In this voice-driven episode of Hidden Killers, we pull the curtain back on life behind bars for the once-powerful Adelsons. Donna’s jailhouse meltdown just nine days after her conviction is fully documented in prison logs—loud sobbing, door-pounding, and furious rants about judges and jurors, all while she unknowingly feeds jailhouse informants. Meanwhile, Charlie Adelson, convicted of murder, has his own jailhouse drama. Caught on video by Spill the Crime Tea, Charlie explodes over his big toe being run over by a jail door. He spews racial slurs, berates staff, then folds like a lawn chair when a lieutenant arrives. This isn’t a story of redemption. It’s the unraveling of a family that thought the rules didn’t apply to them. We dig into: – The official jail logs documenting Donna’s outbursts – Charlie’s unhinged toe tirade caught on camera – What these behaviors tell us about entitlement, narcissism, and collapse – How the Adelsons are adjusting—or failing to—in the harsh reality of incarceration Welcome to the downfall. No more dental dynasty. Just inmate numbers, cold walls, and tablets that barely charge. Watch now and decide for yourself: are the Adelsons victims of injustice, or just finally out of excuses? 🔍 Keywords Donna Adelson, Charlie Adelson, Adelson family, Dan Markel murder, prison logs, jailhouse meltdown, true crime podcast, Hidden Killers, Surviving the Survivor, Wendy Adelson, Leon County Jail, jailhouse footage, Florida true crime, criminal psychology, post-conviction behavior, narcissistic breakdown Hashtags #DonnaAdelson #CharlieAdelson #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #PrisonLife #JailhouseMeltdown #AdelsonFamily #JusticeServed #SurvivingTheSurvivor Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How Cops Manufactured Confessions — The True Cost of the Yogurt Shop Cover-Up This is the segment that should make every law‑and‑order headline pause. We’re not rehashing the solved case — we’re pulling the thread that destroyed lives for decades: the interrogation tactics, investigative tunnel vision, and prosecutorial rush that produced false confessions in the Yogurt Shop murders. On Hidden Killers Live, defense attorney Bob Motta sits with us and we play back the press conference moments that acknowledged what so many suspected for years: Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen confessed under intense interrogation, and there was never physical evidence tying them to the scene. We walk through how those confessions were obtained, why they stuck in courtrooms, and how the system rewarded certainty over truth. This segment breaks that process down in plain language. We explain, with examples and legal perspective, why an 18‑hour interrogation — or five hours of repeated suggestion and pressure — can make a person confess to something they never did. We talk psychological coercion: minimization, false‑evidence ploys, repeated suggestion, exhaustion — techniques that produce the appearance of confession without producing truth. Bob describes the prosecutorial incentives that let that evidence carry the day: a damning audio tape, a nervous jury, and a DA office under pressure to close a city‑shattering crime. But it’s not just psychology. We cover the procedural failures: why exculpatory DNA was ignored for years, how labs and evidence management fell short, and why internal checks — from supervisory review to independent oversight — failed to catch the drift. We also tackle the human cost: men who lost their freedom, reputations, and futures; families who were misled; and the chilling reality that the real killer stayed on the road. This is a call for accountability, not spectacle. Bob lays out concrete reforms that would have prevented these confessions from being the lynchpin of a criminal case: mandatory video of all interrogations, strict limits on session length, independent review when confessions are central, and a presumption against charging when DNA excludes suspects. We finish asking the question every viewer should be asking: how many other cases are resting on coerced admissions right now?

Robert Eugene Brashers: The Serial Killer Behind the Yogurt Shop Murders In this final segment of our press conference reaction on Hidden Killers Live, we turn the focus to the man at the center of it all: Robert Eugene Brashers. Authorities say Brashers was a serial predator who used multiple aliases, traveled the country under false identities, and committed at least eight murders and rapes—possibly more. His DNA was never in CODIS. He faked an obituary. He convinced his own daughter to call him by a different name. And despite a violent criminal record and a known history of sexual assault, he was never on the radar for the Yogurt Shop Murders. So how did they finally get him? A shell casing in a floor drain. A DNA hit from a South Carolina case. And the fingernail clippings of a 13-year-old girl who fought back. We discuss the criminal profile of Brashers, the investigative blind spots that let him slip through, and why he was never caught in real time. This segment gets into the psychology of a killer—and the systemic breakdowns that let him go on killing for years. #RobertBrashers #SerialKillerProfile #YogurtShopMurders #ColdCaseDNA #HiddenKillersLive #DNABreakthrough #ForensicGenealogy #BrashersConfession #TrueCrimePodcast #SystemicFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

"Thank You for Your Service” As America Ignores Its Veterans’ Mental Health Crisis With Blissful Ignorance We say it like a reflex.  "Thank you for your service." But when veterans come home from war mentally broken — and become the ones pulling the trigger in mass shootings, or turning the gun on themselves — our country looks the other way. In this extended breakdown, we dive into two recent mass shootings committed by combat veterans, one at a church in Michigan, the other at a bar in North Carolina. The headlines said they were isolated tragedies. The truth? They're part of a disturbing pattern we rarely acknowledge. 🔺 Veterans make up 6% of the U.S. population, but 26% of mass shooters. 🔺 In 2022, 6,392 veterans died by suicide — nearly three-quarters using a firearm. 🔺 The VA reports over 4,400 severe staff shortages, with psychologists in highest demand. This isn’t about dishonoring service. It’s about confronting the deadly consequences of neglecting mental health, ignoring red flags, and refusing to talk about veteran perpetrators because it makes us uncomfortable. We don’t stop to ask: – Why are so many veteran shooters known to law enforcement before the violence? – Why is the VA failing to provide timely, consistent mental health care? – Why do we thank veterans for their service, then fail them in crisis? This segment is a call for accountability — not just for the shooters, but for the institutions that looked away. If we want fewer headlines like these, we need more than symbolic patriotism. We need real help, real care, and real conversations about who we’re losing — and what it costs when we stay silent. 🔗 Veterans Crisis Line: Dial 988, then press 1 | Text: 838255 | Chat: veteranscrisisline.net Hashtags #Veterans #MassShootings #GunViolence #MentalHealth #VAHealthcare #PTSD #VeteranSuicide #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeNews #AmericaFailsVets Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Murder for Social Security Or Humane Help? The Shocking Lorenz Kraus LIVE TV Confession! Follow the money — and sometimes you find a killer. In this Hidden Killers Live segment, we explore how what began as a Social Security fraud probe spiraled into a double homicide investigation when investigators uncovered the bodies of Franz and Theresia Kraus in their backyard. For years, their son, Lorenz Kraus, told neighbors they had moved to Germany. Meanwhile, he continued collecting their government benefits — until a welfare check by SSA triggered a police search at 6 Crestwood Court. What followed: Two bodies buried behind the house A bizarre on-camera confession at CBS6 Murder charges, and zero remorse We dig into the financial motive behind the murder, why these crimes are alarmingly common, and how digital benefit systems make it easier to hide the dead — until the paper trail gives way. If you want to understand how murder and money intertwine — and how a bureaucratic audit unraveled a seven-year deception — this is the story. 🔖 Hashtags #SocialSecurityFraud #FinancialCrimeMurder #LorenzKraus #AlbanyDoubleMurder #HiddenKillersLive #BackyardBodies #TrueCrimeInvestigation #FraudTurnedHomicide #SSAInvestigation #CBS6Interview Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

FBI Profiler Breaks Down the Tunnel Vision That Ruined the Yogurt Shop Case With the Yogurt Shop murders solved, the real question becomes: what now? In this final segment, I and Robin Dreeke map out the reforms that actually matter—not symbolic ones, but structural, enforceable changes that protect truth, not narratives. We dig into: Interview design: swapping coercion for information‑gathering (PEACE-style), mandating full video, limiting session lengths, guarding vulnerable subjects Raising charging thresholds: never charge on confession alone—triangulate with physical evidence and independent corroboration Institutional red teams: formal skepticism baked into every major case Ethical limits on genealogical DNA use: how and when it should be used, how to document decision points Accountability for leadership: public commitments, timelines, and enforcement Why this matters: naming the killer is only step one. If we don’t fix what went wrong, future cases will repeat the same tragedies. This segment is the roadmap for justice that lasts beyond headlines. #CriminalJusticeReform #TrueCrime #PoliceReform #ColdCasePolicy #InterviewEthics #DNAForensics #InvestigativeBestPractices #NoMoreFalseConfessions #RedTeamPolicing #FutureOfCrimeSolving #YogurtShopMurders Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Diddy Sentencing Breakdown: Prosecutor Explains What’s Really at Stake This isn’t about guilt anymore. That part’s done.  Now the real weight kicks in. Federal prosecutors want 11+ years behind bars. Diddy’s defense team wants 14 months and therapy. And the judge? He has to decide how much of Sean Combs’ past — and his power — should shape what happens next. In this episode of Hidden Killers, criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us to break down what this sentencing really means — not just for Diddy, but for the entire justice system watching what happens when celebrity, abuse allegations, and federal sentencing law collide. We cover: Why federal prosecutors are pushing to apply sexual abuse cross-references — even without a conviction on those charges What the victim statements from Cassie Ventura and others can legally influence Whether pretrial detention at MDC Brooklyn counts for anything If fame helps or hurts a defendant in front of a federal judge And how §3553(a) factors — like deterrence, public trust, and the message sent to survivors — shape sentencing far more than just the guidelines We also explore what Diddy’s legal team might say in mitigation, whether allocution helps or backfires, and what the judge’s language on Friday could reveal — about this case and the system as a whole. If you’re wondering why Diddy could walk with time served… or face nearly a decade in prison — this is the legal roadmap you’ve been waiting for. 🔖 HASHTAGS #Diddy #SeanCombs #FederalSentencing #EricFaddis #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #JusticeSystem #VictimImpact #SentencingExplained #CelebrityJustice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
