Watch As Double Murder EXPOSED In LIVE News Interview: Shocking TV Confession! In one of the most surreal crime stories in recent memory, Lorenz Kraus walked into a CBS6 newsroom and confessed on camera to killing his elderly parents, hiding their bodies in the backyard, and living off their Social Security checks for seven years. Now, on Hidden Killers Live, we watch that full CBS6 interview and break it down — line by line, word by word. Was it a genuine confession? A performance? A delusion? Or all of the above? Police were originally investigating financial crimes tied to the Kraus family at 6 Crestwood Court in Albany, NY, after a red flag from the Social Security Administration. But when a search warrant was executed, investigators unearthed not bank records — but two corpses in the backyard. This segment includes: The moment Kraus confesses to second-degree murder How this case exploded from welfare fraud to Albany double homicide Questions about mental health, delusional beliefs, and a potential god complex What happens when a confession is made to journalists, not police This is the full breakdown of a case that’s part true crime, part psychological thriller, and part bureaucratic failure.

Why They Prosecuted the Wrong Men — Inside the Yogurt Shop Confession Fiasco In this segment, we tear open the wounds of the original investigation. Two men—Robert Springsteen and Michael Scott—were convicted decades ago based almost entirely on confessions that they later recanted. DNA would later exclude them entirely. What pushed investigators to pursue confessions so hard? Tunnel vision, coercive interview tactics, and information “leaks” that allowed suspects to parrot back nonpublic details. Over 50 people confessed at one point or another to this crime—many obviously false.We dig into how interview design (false‑evidence ploys, minimization, sleep deprivation) creates a dangerous illusion of certainty. Legally, these strategies drive miscarriages of justice. Psychologically, they turn confessions into weapons rather than tools of truth. In this part you’ll learn: Why confessions, especially in homicide, are dangerously persuasive How contamination and leading questions distort memory What happens when investigators stop listening for disconfirmation After you hear the mistakes, you’ll see how fragile the case was from the start—and why we can’t treat confession = guilt as an assumption ever again. #FalseConfession #WrongfulConviction #YogurtShopCase #InterrogationTactics #TunnelVision #CriminalJusticeReform #AustinMurders #InvestigativeFailures #CriminalPsychology #InnocenceProject #YogurtShopMurders Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

D4VD Discord, Streams, and Screenshots: What the Internet Missed in the Celeste Rivas Case There are screenshots. Twitch clips. Discord chats. Eyewitness reports. Celeste Rivas was visible. She was online. She was interacting with people. She was seen. And still—somehow—no one stopped this. In this segment, FBI profiler Robin Dreeke joins me to examine the digital behavior, online grooming signs, and community silence surrounding this case. From reported messages about pregnancy, to shared social content, to alleged sightings by classmates—there were signs. Multiple. Public. Documented. And ignored. We get into:  – Why offenders sometimes flaunt inappropriate behavior online  – The psychology behind public performance and private control  – What it says when friends, fans, or even platforms fail to intervene  – And how law enforcement uses this digital trail to apply pressure behind the scenes Celeste’s body was found in a towed, impounded Tesla. Electronic devices were reportedly seized from a Hollywood Hills home. Still: no one has been charged. No cause of death released. But the data is out there. The patterns are there. And the silence around them should disturb everyone watching this unfold. If this case feels frustrating, it’s because it should. 🏷️ Hashtags #D4vd #CelesteRivas #DigitalEvidence #DiscordScreenshots #RobinDreeke #FBIProfiler #OnlineGrooming #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #NoArrestYet Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How DNA Finally Cracked the Yogurt Shop Murders After 34 Years This is the turning point. After 34 years of dead ends, the infamous Yogurt Shop murders in Austin have finally been cracked—not by a tip, not by a confession, but by modern genetic genealogy and DNA testing. In this first segment, I walk you through how investigators resurrected crime scene evidence, plugged it into public DNA databases, built family trees, and landed on Robert Eugene Brashers as the killer. It wasn’t easy. The crime scene was ravaged by fire. Early DNA testing had limits. The wrong suspects had been tried. But in 2025, cold‑case teams used new techniques to extract male DNA profiles, cross‑referenced distant relatives, and zeroed in on Brashers. A former detective has even claimed a bullet casing found in a drain matched the firearm Brashers used in his suicide. (That’s not official yet — but it’s a powerful piece of the puzzle.) Why this matters: naming the suspect doesn’t end the story. It shifts the burden to accountability, record integrity, and transparency. This first part shows how science finally caught up to a case that law enforcement once believed might never be solved. If you thought cold cases were frozen in time—this rewrites that myth. Tune in to see exactly how the match was made—how one small genetic lead led to the unthinkable: identifying a killer who died 26 years ago. After you see the method, you’ll understand the stakes of what comes next. #YogurtShopMurders #AustinColdCase #GeneticGenealogy #DNAForensics #RobertBrashers #TrueCrimeBreakthrough #ColdCaseSolved #InvestigativeScience #CrimeDocumentary #SerialKiller  Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Yogurt Shop Murders: DNA Bombshell & TV Confession in Kraus Backyard Murder Two devastating crimes. One episode. And a justice system that failed in both. Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, we dive into two of the most emotionally and legally disturbing cases we’ve ever covered. First—the Yogurt Shop Murders. Four girls brutally killed in 1991. And for years, police pursued the wrong men. Two were convicted. One died under the shadow of suspicion. All were innocent. Now, thanks to genetic genealogy and forensic DNA, the real killer—Robert Eugene Brashers—has been identified. But there’s no trial coming. Brashers died by suicide in 1999. So what happens when the truth arrives three decades late? We unpack: How fire-damaged evidence was finally reanalyzed Why police ignored signs pointing away from Springsteen, Scott, and Pierce The role of coerced confessions, tunnel vision, and flawed interrogation strategy What this case teaches us about criminal psychology and investigative failure Then, we pivot to an equally bizarre and tragic case: Lorenz Kraus, who walked into a CBS6 newsroom and calmly confessed on camera to killing both his parents and burying them in the backyard… seven years ago. In Hour 2, we break down the video, explore the potential god complex behind his confession, and ask what happens when someone bypasses the justice system entirely—and tells their story to the press instead. This isn’t just a double feature. It’s a breakdown of how cases go wrong, how lives are ruined by bad policing, and how—sometimes—truth shows up late, if at all. Subscribe and watch to the end. Because justice delayed is one thing. But justice denied is something else entirely. 🔖 HASHTAGS #YogurtShopMurders #LorenzKraus #HiddenKillersLive #TrueCrimeNow #FalseConfessions #DNAJustice #CBS6Interview #JusticeDelayed #SerialKillerID #PoliceAccountability Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Costco, Coffee, and Cold Blood: Kohberger’s Post-Crime Behavior Decoded By FBI Let’s talk about what Bryan Kohberger did just hours after slaughtering four students in their sleep:  He went shopping. Calm. Casual. Coffee aisle. Grocery store. Like it was any other day. In this segment, I’m joined by retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to break down the now-infamous Costco/grocery store footage showing Kohberger moving through aisles post-massacre. We’re not here for shock—we’re here for behavior. Because what he does in that video isn’t about caffeine. It’s about control. It's about how a killer works to look normal while dragging the weight of four bodies behind him. Robin takes us through how investigators read this kind of post-crime public behavior:  – Was he trying to cool off… or cover up?  – What does risk tolerance look like under cameras?  – Why does “acting normal” matter when it’s anything but?  – And what does this reveal about how Kohberger planned—or didn’t? We also unpack how seemingly meaningless choices—like self-checkout, cart behavior, aisle time, or eye contact—can become behavioral data points when layered with phone records, receipts, and surveillance clocks. Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty. He’s in prison for life.  But what he did in that store—how he carried himself—still tells us who he really is. 🔖 HASHTAGS #BryanKohberger #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #KohbergerVideo #CostcoSurveillance #TrueCrime #PostCrimeBehavior #CriminalProfiling #CoffeeRun #BehaviorLeavesATrail Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

D4VD Death Investigation: She Had His Tattoo. Then She Was Found in His Car. FBI Profiler Weighs In. Celeste Rivas and D4vd reportedly had matching “Shhh…” tattoos on their index fingers. That detail alone opens a disturbing window into power dynamics, secrecy, and control. In this segment, FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke joins me to unpack the non-forensic evidence that tells a story: matching tattoos, digital closeness, and the decision to wrap Celeste’s body in plastic and hide her in the trunk of a car. These choices speak volumes. We explore:  – How adult predators often mark their victims with shared symbols—tattoos, jewelry, even lyrics  – Why body concealment is one of the clearest indicators of post-crime psychological strategy  – What it suggests when someone abandons a vehicle with a wrapped body inside  – And how grooming over time leads to psychological dependency, isolation, and silence This isn’t just about a car and a body. It’s about behavioral control over a vulnerable teenager and a trail of choices that don’t add up to innocence. As of now, no one has been arrested. The cause of death is pending. But these behavioral markers raise serious, unanswered questions. You can’t ignore the patterns. Because predators rely on everyone else doing just that. 🏷️ Hashtags #D4vd #CelesteRivas #RobinDreeke #BehavioralAnalysis #TrunkDiscovery #FBIProfiler #TrueCrimeBreakdown #GroomingAwareness #ConcealmentBehavior #InvestigationContinues Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Teen Girl Found in D4vd’s Tesla: Timeline of a Deadly Disappearance She vanished in April 2024. She was just 15. For 17 months, Celeste Rivas Hernandez was missing. No breaking news alerts. No press conferences. And then, out of nowhere, she’s found wrapped in plastic in the trunk of a Tesla—a car that had been abandoned in the Hollywood Hills and later linked to music artist D4vd. In this segment, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins me to walk through the full timeline—from the first missing persons report to the shocking discovery in September 2025. We map out how long she was gone, where she was last seen, and how the vehicle sat unnoticed in public view, then at an impound lot, until staff finally opened the trunk after smelling decomposition. We dig into:  – The risk factors that make missing teens like Celeste vulnerable to long-term grooming  – What post-disappearance patterns of behavior investigators look for in cases like this  – Why a car being abandoned and towed without anyone checking it is a massive procedural gap  – And how time and silence allow these tragedies to unfold in plain sight As of this recording: no charges have been filed. Cause and manner of death remain undetermined. But the timeline is real. The body is real. And the silence surrounding it is deafening. 🏷️ Hashtags #D4vd #CelesteRivas #MissingTeen #TrunkDiscovery #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #TrueCrime #FBIProfiler #HollywoodHills #InvestigationOngoing Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rex Heuermann Gilgo Evidence Tour: Doll, Cage, DNA, and Hair Strategy, science, stakes—start to finish. With Jennifer Coffindaffer, we unpack the joinder ruling (seven counts, one jury), what the state gains, and where the defense will press “prejudice.” Then we walk the evidence story jurors are likely to hear: the search-warrant haul (yes, including the secret room, the large doll, the cage) and why seized items aren’t guilt until they’re tied to time, transfer, and corroboration. We dig into the science. Hair genome sequencing is “new to this courtroom,” not “new to the planet.” The defense will call it junk; the state will lean on validation and careful conclusions. We also talk family witnesses: could the daughter testify? Would Asa sit out or take the stand? How those choices land with jurors matters as much as the words themselves. Finally, timing. Between discovery battles, expert disclosures, and potential added counts, 2027 is a practical horizon—not a scare tactic. Joinder gives prosecutors a narrative runway; landing the plane requires clean science, credible witnesses, and pacing that respects the jury’s patience and skepticism.

Inside the Heuermann Gilgo Killer’s Home Search: Secret Room, Cage, and the Eerie Doll Big procedural swing: one jury hears all seven counts. With Jennifer Coffindaffer we break down why prosecutors pushed for joinder and why the defense is already circling “prejudice” in red ink. The state’s pitch is pattern—victim type, geography, MO—one coherent story. The defense counters: decades apart, different methods, and the danger of letting weaker counts draft behind stronger ones. We also cut through the “creepy” optics of the search haul—secret room, large doll, cage. Creepy is not the standard. Agents don’t cart off curios for sport; they seize what they believe they can justify in court. Those items matter only when tied to timelines, transfer, and corroboration that shrink alternatives. There’s a trust problem too. This investigation lived under a cloud for a long time. Jurors will want clean lines, not shortcuts. That’s why joinder is both rocket fuel and a tripwire—the narrative has to stay tight. This segment lays out the rules of engagement: what gets in, what’s risky, and how you tell a decades-long story without losing a 12-person audience in the first act.

Asa and the Daughter: Will Accused Gilgo Killer Heuermann’s Family Take the Stand? “New to court” isn’t “made up yesterday.” With Jennifer Coffindaffer, we translate the court-approved hair genome sequencing into plain English: what it shows, what it can’t do, and how to explain it without turning jurors into lab techs. Expect the defense to yell “junk science”; expect prosecutors to answer with validation, protocols, and conservative takes that land. We walk the “household hair” tightrope—finding family hairs on burlap sacks is eye-catching, but transfer and secondary transfer are real. The job is to explain significance without implying guilt by osmosis. Then we talk about the witnesses closest to Rex Heuermann—could his daughter testify? Would Asa sit out or take the stand? Immunity, exposure, credibility—how those choices look from the jury box matters. And yes, the calendar. Discovery fights, expert disclosures, possible added counts—2027 isn’t dramatic; it’s realistic. The joinder win gives the state runway. Landing the plane will take clean science, credible witnesses, and pacing that respects juror skepticism.

D4vd and the Tesla Trunk Homicide: Full Timeline and Evidence This is the entire D4vd arc in one run—no topic hopscotch. With Jennifer Coffindaffer, we build the timeline from the Hollywood Hills abandonment to the tow-lot discovery and explain why a disciplined investigation can look “slow” from the outside: good cases are built on quiet work, not noise. We lay out what a Tesla can realistically provide—access events, navigation history, maybe camera data if it wasn’t disabled—and where that digital exhaust needs help from trace and humans who can actually place hands on a wheel. We separate attention bait from evidence. The viral concert clip? Walked back. A teacher’s classroom pickup video? If verified, potentially timeline-relevant. Tattoos and lyrics might feel “on brand,” but in court they’re decor unless tied to dates, places, and acts. On the forensic side, we talk like adults: how pathologists distinguish dismemberment from decomposition, what toxicology can still add despite heat and time, and what a homicide ruling really signals. Standard of proof stays front-and-center: linkage isn’t guilt. As of this recording, there are no charges. Everyone is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. We close with the practical checklist to move this from headline to case file: corroborated timelines, converging digital + forensic hits, and communications evidence that doesn’t collapse under scrutiny.

Homicide Ruling Explained: What It Means in the D4vd–Celeste Case This is the filter pass the internet won’t do. With Jennifer Coffindaffer at the table, we line up viral claims against the actual evidence bar and see what survives. The teacher’s classroom pickup video? If verified, it can be timeline-relevant. That widely shared concert clip? Walked back. Say it with us: connection ≠ guilt, and age knowledge isn’t something you guess from a grainy screen-grab. We de-mystify the tech. Teslas can log access, routes, and other telemetry; sometimes the cameras help—sometimes they’ve been turned off. Either way, data isn’t a confession. It needs people, physical trace, and a timeline that doesn’t wobble. We’re clear about what the digital exhaust can answer—and where it stops. Forensics in plain English: how examiners tell dismemberment from decomposition (tool marks vs. what heat/time do), where toxicology still helps despite tough conditions, and what a “homicide” ruling actually means. It’s a medicolegal classification that another person caused the death; it’s not a suspect ID or a courtroom verdict. We also walk the abandoned-car logic tree. If this was murder, was the tow a foreseeable risk or a panicked misread by someone in over their head? If not, was concealment an impulsive, catastrophic choice? Those are investigative paths, not conclusions. If you’re here for clean analysis and not hashtag detectives, this one’s for you. Presumption of innocence applies.

What We Know Now: Verified Facts in the D4vd Celeste Murder Case A 15-year-old found in a Tesla’s trunk. A rising artist’s name on the registration. That combo lights the internet on fire in seconds. In this opener, we do the opposite of clout-chasing. We slow it down and walk through what’s actually confirmed and what smart investigators do first when the spotlight’s blinding. With guest Jennifer Coffindaffer (retired FBI Special Agent), we map the sequence cleanly: Hollywood Hills abandonment, tow to the lot, odor complaint, discovery—no dramatics, no leaps. We talk about how a high-pressure case is staffed for success: lead homicide on point, support where it matters, tight scene control so evidence doesn’t “evaporate” before it ever hits a lab. And yes, why “no charges yet” is often a sign of discipline, not weakness. Then we frame the car questions without pretending the dashboard is a detective: Who last had control? How long did it sit? What can a modern vehicle actually log that’s useful—and what will never be a substitute for witnesses and trace? This is a foundation episode: fewer hashtags, more facts. Reminder: this involves a family and a child.  As of this recording, no one is charged; everyone is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Big Breakdown: Inside the Aftermath of Charlie Kirks’ Murder The assassination of Charlie Kirks has shaken America in a way few acts of political violence have in recent memory. In this Big Breakdown on Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we go inside the case with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to analyze the evidence, the psychology, and the aftermath. According to prosecutors, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson allegedly acted alone, deciding in just over a week to build his weapon, target Kirks, and carry out the murder. Investigators say he left a handwritten note, later destroyed by his partner, Lance Twigs — though a photographed copy remains central to the case. Add to that a chilling set of text messages where Robinson casually confessed — worrying more about his grandfather’s rifle and fingerprints than the fact he had just killed a man — and the picture becomes even darker. Coffindaffer breaks down why these texts matter, how the FBI will scrutinize the destroyed note, and why the “sloppiness” of this crime actually reinforces the lone wolf threat the Bureau has warned about for decades. This wasn’t a sophisticated plot with layers of planning — it was impulsive, callous, and terrifyingly easy to pull off. Then, Shavaun Scott joins the conversation to discuss why this assassination feels different for so many Americans. Why does the killing of a controversial but mainstream political commentator resonate across the political spectrum? What does it reveal about polarization, rage culture, and the addictive pull of online outrage? And why are conspiracy theories already flooding the conversation before the investigation is even complete? From the evidence on the ground to the broader cultural fallout, this episode explores both the criminal case against Robinson and the collective anxiety gripping America in the wake of Charlie Kirks’ murder.

BIG BREAKDOWN - Bryan Kohberger's Pathetic INSECURITIES Exposed New revelations are pulling back the curtain on Bryan Kohberger’s life immediately after the Idaho student murders, and they raise disturbing questions about how this case may be understood. The night after the killings, Kohberger’s mother sent him a news article detailing the horrific injuries of victim Zana Kernodle — including bruises that showed she fought back. Was it a mother simply sharing a local crime story with her son? Or, knowing what we know now, was there something darker in the tone of those conversations? Investigators and analysts are asking whether Kohberger and his mother spoke in coded ways about the crimes, with his obsession shifting between gruesome details and a “sweet girl at the coffee shop” — eerily similar to the barista he allegedly made uncomfortable by stalking her. But that’s not all. Newly released images from Kohberger’s apartment offer a rare look inside his private world. Far from the clutter of a normal graduate student, his space was stripped down to bare walls, minimal belongings, and an almost sterile environment. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down what that could mean: Was it evidence of a personality detached from normal human connection, or a deliberate “scrubbing” to hide traces of blood and evidence — just like how investigators said he dismantled his car after the murders? Perhaps most startling: investigators discovered a prescription in his apartment for levothyroxine, a thyroid medication. While commonly used and safe for millions, in the context of Kohberger’s other self-reported conditions — autism spectrum, OCD, ADHD, ARFID — it raises questions about whether he was properly medicated, mismedicated, or even taking it at all. Could untreated or poorly managed health conditions have fed into his volatile state of mind? From his mother’s unsettling messages to the sterile emptiness of his apartment, each new detail deepens the puzzle of Bryan Kohberger. Was this careful planning, psychological unraveling, or both?

Charlie Kirk Assassin's BIZARRE Text Confession Broken Down With FBI Agent Was the assassination of Charlie Kirk a well-planned conspiracy or the sloppy work of a lone, foolish young man? FBI veteran Robin Dreeke tackles the conspiracy theories head-on, delivering his final verdict on the now-infamous text exchange with the shooter's roommate. The hosts read the bizarrely casual conversation line-by-line, including the killer's flippant remarks like, "No, they grabbed some crazy old dude." Robin argues that the shooter's actions fit a clear pattern of "stupid," and that what many see as a complex plot is more likely a case of profound incompetence masquerading as a conspiracy. He points to the killer's naive belief that he could "take this to my grave" or that police wouldn't find his discarded rifle. This segment includes Robin's expert opinion on why giving killers "credit for being smart" is a dangerous fallacy. His analysis highlights the killer's low "life reps" and lack of strategic thinking, which ultimately led to his quick capture. The discussion also touches on the future of security at public events, acknowledging the financial implications and the hope that this tragedy can encourage civil discourse rather than silencing voices. This final analysis from Robin offers a definitive, expert take on the planning—or lack thereof—behind the attack and provides a unique perspective on human behavior.

Charlie Kirk Assassin's BIZARRE Text Confession Broken Down After diagnosing the problem of self-radicalization, the conversation turns to a crucial question: What can we do to stop it? In this segment, FBI expert Robin Dreeke and the Hidden Killers hosts debate actionable solutions to pull society back from the brink. They discuss the need to incentivize, not mandate, civil discourse in our schools and online communities. Todd Michaels makes a passionate case for local community involvement, arguing that changing the world starts with making a difference in the lives of young people in your own town. The discussion also explores the critical role of parents in modeling curiosity and establishing healthy boundaries. Robin Dreeke delves into the complex psychology of shame, explaining that while you never want to shame someone, a society that loses its capacity for shame also loses its moral and ethical boundaries, creating space for violence. The segment then provides a raw, unfiltered look into the killer’s mind as the hosts read his bizarre and chilling text exchange with his roommate, a conversation that serves as both a confession and a window into his detached reality. This is a powerful and necessary conversation about finding hope and tangible solutions in the wake of an unthinkable tragedy.

"Some Hate Can't Be Negotiated": Decoding a Killer's Final Message What drove the 22-year-old assassin to pull the trigger? The analysis continues as FBI veteran Robin Dreeke provides a chilling psychological profile of the lone wolf killer. The discussion centers on the shooter's final text message—"Some hate can't be negotiated out"—as a clear indicator of a mind that had completely abandoned reason for radical dogma. Robin Dreeke draws stunning and disturbing parallels between this young American and the recruitment tactics of terrorist organizations like ISIS. He explains that these groups prey on individuals who feel they have no purpose, offering them a twisted sense of meaning and identity that culminates in violence. The Hidden Killers team examines the shooter’s unnervingly flippant and casual attitude in his text messages following the assassination. This emotional detachment is a key part of the psychological puzzle, differentiating him from calculated, broken-brained killers like Bryan Kohberger. This wasn't a mastermind; this was a young man so lost in an unreal online world that he couldn't grasp the real-world consequences of his actions. This segment is a terrifying look into the modern face of self-radicalization and explores why the "normal kid next door" profile is the most dangerous one of all.
