Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

Kouri Richins, a Utah children's book author accused of fatally poisoning her husband with fentanyl in 2022, will remain behind bars after a judge denied her bail request. Richins, who wrote a book on coping with grief called *Are You With Me?* following her husband’s death, faces charges of aggravated murder and attempted murder. During a hearing in Utah’s 3rd District Court, Judge Richard Mrazik outlined his reasons for rejecting Richins' bond request. “There simply are not reasonably available means of mitigating her risk to the community and to herself or the strong incentive for her to flee the jurisdiction of the court,” Mrazik said. He emphasized the severity of the charges and her diminished ties to the community as critical factors in his decision. Prosecutors accuse Richins of spiking a cocktail she made for her husband, Eric Richins, with a lethal dose of fentanyl. They also claim she attempted to kill him previously, on February 14, 2022, by giving him a drugged sandwich. Eric Richins, a father of three, died at their home near Park City, a small mountain town known for its scenic beauty. Richins was arrested in 2023, just a year after her husband's death, and gained further attention for her public appearances discussing her family’s grief. Her book, marketed to help children deal with the loss of a loved one, has become a focal point in media coverage of the case. The defense team, led by attorney Kathy Nester, argued that the case against Richins is weakening. “With two charges dismissed and four others severed, the defense stands more confident. The case against our client is rapidly narrowing, exposing deeper weaknesses with each step,” Nester said. Judge Mrazik dismissed two counts of distributing a controlled substance and agreed to separate four real estate-related fraud charges from the upcoming murder trial. However, he denied a motion from the defense to try the murder and attempted murder charges separately. The judge also refused a motion to increase the jury size from the standard eight to twelve members. Despite acknowledging that Utah’s law “may be on the wrong side of history,” Mrazik said he is bound by his oath to uphold it. The trial, set to begin in April 2025, will cover multiple charges, including aggravated murder, attempted murder, two counts of filing fraudulent insurance claims, and one count of forgery. To ensure a fair jury pool, both the prosecution and defense agreed to select jurors from a broader geographic area, spanning Salt Lake and Summit Counties. Richins' defense team emphasized her connections to the area and disputed the notion that she poses a flight risk. However, Judge Mrazik pointed to several concerns, including her loss of business and strained relationship with her children, which he said could increase her motivation to flee. "Structurally, she just doesn't have the same connections to the community that she had then," the judge concluded. Richins remains in custody, awaiting her day in court, as both sides prepare for what promises to be a closely watched trial. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Sean “Diddy” Combs has firmly denied allegations that minors were present at one of his notorious “freak-off” parties, calling the claims baseless and part of a growing campaign of false accusations against him. The latest allegations emerged after Tanea Wallace appeared in the documentary *The Downfall of Diddy: Inside the Freak Offs*, where she recounted attending one of the music mogul’s parties in 2018. According to Wallace, the event continued into the early hours, featuring intoxicated guests engaged in sexual activities, allegedly in the presence of minors. Combs’ representatives swiftly responded to Wallace’s statements, firmly rejecting the accusations. “Ms. Tanea Wallace has no credibility, and her claims about ‘freak offs’ and minors are completely and categorically false,” read a statement released on Combs’ behalf. “As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every new publicity stunt, even in response to claims that are facially ridiculous. Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that the accusations against Mr. Combs are pure fiction.” The denial from Combs comes at a time when the music producer and rapper is under intense legal scrutiny. Federal investigations are probing his alleged involvement in sex trafficking and racketeering activities. Some speculate that the notorious parties were part of a larger illegal operation, which is now being examined in court. Despite the gravity of these accusations, Combs’ legal team remains adamant that their client will be exonerated. “These latest claims are just another example of the baseless attacks being made against Mr. Combs,” his defense team reiterated, emphasizing their confidence in a legal victory. Currently, Combs is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he awaits trial on federal charges. His bail request was denied in September, with the court rejecting a proposed $50 million bond package. Besides facing criminal charges, Combs is also confronting numerous civil suits, with over 100 victims accusing him of sexual assault. As his case unfolds, Combs’ public image continues to be scrutinized and challenged. However, his defense remains steadfast, expressing faith in the judicial process and the eventual vindication of their client. “Mr. Combs will fight these allegations, and in the end, the truth will speak louder than the sensationalized headlines,” a spokesperson concluded.

What kind of party makes you sign away your right to talk about it, even in whispers? Picture this: a glamorous, exclusive world where NDAs aren't just suggested but are practically a golden ticket. Welcome to the secretive domain of Sean "Diddy" Combs' infamous "freak-off" parties. Sure, NDAs are standard fare in the business world to protect ideas from prying eyes, but at a party? That’s where things take a curious turn. Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI agent and behavioral analyst, dives deep into the layers of this case. The burning question remains: if you're hiding something so intensely, does it mean you shouldn't be doing it at all? And as the conversation unfolds, we wonder why certain celebrities—despite all the glam and charm—demand such extreme secrecy. It's almost as if the walls of these parties have ears, but no voice to tell the tales. Or do they? Courtney Burgess, the man in the spotlight, claims to hold a bombshell: video evidence and a manuscript from Kim Porter, which allegedly contain a treasure trove of truths about these mysterious parties. Dismissed as a non-credible witness, he suddenly finds himself sharing his story with a federal grand jury. If the Feds are listening, perhaps we should, too. With terabytes of alleged evidence, the stakes are higher than ever. How many more secrets are buried within those flash drives? And is this case building up to something that could rock Hollywood to its core? Would you be comfortable signing away your silence for a party that promises more than just cocktails and hors d'oeuvres? Or is there more to this story than we're ready to hear? **Hashtags**: #DiddyCase #NDAMystery #RobinDreeke #FederalInvestigation #SecretParties #CourtOfPublicOpinion #KimPorter Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A 43-year-old father and his 17-year-old son have been charged with first-degree murder in the death of the teen's mother, just hours after she informed them of her intent to file for full custody of her younger son, according to local authorities. Charles Martinez and his son, Hevon Martinez, were arrested following a four-month investigation by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the July 2 homicide of 38-year-old Chrystal Snow. According to an arrest affidavit, both Charles and Hevon pleaded with Snow over the phone on the evening of July 1, urging her not to proceed with the custody filing scheduled for the next day. Investigators allege that the father and son then drove to Snow's residence in the early hours of July 2 and fatally shot her. "Charles and [Hevon] were both aware that Chrystal was preparing to file paperwork at court the following day, related to her petition for full custody," the affidavit states. "Charles and [Hevon] both made one last attempt to convince Chrystal not to go to court and file for full custody." Multiple witnesses informed CBI agents about conversations they had with Snow on the night of the homicide, during which she allegedly recounted threats from Charles and Hevon. Witnesses claimed both had made verbal threats to kill her in the past. At approximately 2:20 a.m., neighbors reported hearing multiple gunshots coming from Snow's residence. Investigators believe Charles and Hevon drove to the home in a white Ford Explorer belonging to Charles's mother. Evidence suggests at least one gunshot was fired from outside the house through the front living room window before they entered. "The victim appeared to have fled to the bathroom of the master bedroom, where she was confronted... and shot multiple times," the affidavit says. Despite her injuries, Snow managed to call 911. First responders arrived to find her deceased. She had suffered gunshot wounds to her upper right arm, upper right chest, and right leg. A spent cartridge casing was found near her body. Surveillance footage allegedly shows Charles and Hevon traveling on local roads to and from the crime scene in the white Ford Explorer. Interviews with witnesses and a domestic violence victim advocate who had been in contact with Snow provided additional evidence against the pair. The victim advocate detailed allegations of domestic abuse and threats by Charles and Hevon dating back to October 2023. Snow had filed a protection order after Hevon allegedly "put his hands on her throat" and "threatened to kill her," claiming the abuse began in February 2023. Charles was also accused of threatening to murder Snow in her sleep during their 18-year relationship. The advocate stated that Snow told her, "Charles said he would come in the middle of the night to kill her and that a protection order was just a piece of paper," according to the affidavit. In June, Snow was granted a permanent restraining order against Charles for verbal abuse and harassment after their split in October 2023, as reported by The Denver Post. "It is clear, based on evidence and information obtained thus far in the investigation, that the homicide of Chrystal was a pre-planned event by both [Hevon] and Charles," the affidavit concludes. Hevon was arrested on July 7 for an unrelated incident in which he allegedly fired a .45 caliber handgun at a vehicle during a Fourth of July event in Cortez, Colorado. Charles Martinez is being held on a $2.5 million bond. Hevon Martinez was already in custody for separate charges, but he will be charged as an adult Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Ever wondered how far the justice system will go to secure a conviction, even if it means leaving someone on the edge of sanity? Richard Allen, the man accused of the 2017 Delphi murders, found himself in a whirlwind of legal chaos, and a courtroom finale that stunned everyone. Despite a lackluster prosecution and a defense crippled by restrictions, the jury handed down a guilty verdict. But was justice really served, or was it sacrificed on the altar of convenience? Our experts paint a vivid picture of a courtroom drama rife with unexpected twists and a controversial trial strategy. The inhumane conditions Allen faced in solitary confinement, his rapidly deteriorating mental state, and the murky role of a psychologist who may have crossed ethical lines—these elements are set to become key battlegrounds in the appeals process. Is this the kind of precedent we want to set for future cases? And if justice isn't just about winning but how we win, what message are we sending? Will the appeals court step in and set things right, or is this the new norm in the American justice system? #RichardAllen #DelphiMurders #TrueCrime #InhumaneTreatment #CourtroomDrama #AppealsProcess #JusticeOrInjustice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

What if the critical piece of evidence in a murder trial wasn’t as solid as everyone thought? Defense attorneys in the case of the Delphi murders recently presented a new shocker: Libby German's cell phone was allegedly handled five hours after her disappearance, with a headphone jack mysteriously inserted. Does this indicate that Libby and her friend were alive for longer than previously thought, or does it point to an unknown person tampering with the evidence? The defense’s strategy has created a storm of reasonable doubt, leaving many wondering if the case against the alleged perpetrator is unraveling. With a lack of a clear behavioral history connecting the accused to such a heinous crime and no incriminating digital evidence found, doubts about the investigation itself continue to grow. Will the jury see enough to convict, or is this case doomed to leave everyone, especially the victims' families, in the dark? #delphimurders #reasonableDoubt #truecrime #LibbyGerman #murdermystery #criminaljustice #investigation Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

What exactly goes on behind closed doors at some of the world’s most exclusive parties? While Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) have long been used to safeguard privacy and protect assets, they’re now taking center stage in the shocking allegations surrounding Sean "Diddy" Combs. With claims of abuse, exploitation, and potential criminal activity spanning decades, questions arise about what these NDAs were really hiding. Kim Porter, Diddy’s late ex-partner, allegedly anticipated the importance of documenting events at these gatherings, hinting at a deeper layer of secrecy and danger. If true, could the hard drives and manuscripts she reportedly passed on contain the key to unraveling the case? Witnesses like Courtney Burgess are now stepping forward, armed with what they claim to be irrefutable evidence. But will these revelations finally bring the truth to light, or is there more still buried beneath the surface?

Was Richard Allen set up to fail from the start, or did the prosecution simply drop the ball? When you dig into the details, it gets even murkier. FBI analysts raised eyebrows with digital evidence suggesting headphones were plugged into Libby’s phone for hours, an anomaly that shouldn’t happen without human intervention. But was the phone really as untouched as they said, or could water somehow have played a role, messing with the data? And how about that late discovery of coding issues that stumped even the experts? It all leaves you wondering: if this is what we're catching, what else slipped through the cracks? Plus, there’s the mind-boggling lack of analysis on evidence. Seventy-one hairs left untested for years, only for one to finally be checked and identified as Libby’s sister’s. With seven and a half years of investigation under the belt, you'd expect more. Instead, the defense’s surprising early closure in court left everyone stunned, not to mention the baffling decision to leave key ballistics evidence unexamined due to budget constraints. Did a lack of resources tie their hands, or was it a calculated risk, banking on the prosecution’s own shaky case? And yet, with all this reasonable doubt swirling, one chilling fear remains: will Richard Allen be convicted anyway? Or is he already holding that "get a new trial free" card, ready for the next round of this legal nightmare? #justiceforlibby #digitalmystery #headphoneanomaly #fbiinvestigation #reasonableydoubt #miscarriageofjustice #richardallentrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A Milwaukee man has been arrested on serious charges of child abuse after he allegedly threw his 8-month-old son at a wall in frustration over a video game. Jalin White, 20, was taken into custody following the incident, which has left the infant with life-threatening injuries. Police responded to a report of possible child abuse at a local hospital, where they discovered the infant with a skull fracture, broken ribs, a broken collarbone, and various injuries at different stages of healing. This pattern suggested to investigators that the child may have suffered repeated abuse over time. According to authorities, White had been entrusted with the care of his son while the child’s mother was out. Reports from local outlets CBS 58, FOX 6, and WISN cite a criminal complaint in which White initially provided investigators with conflicting stories. At one point, he allegedly attempted to blame the child’s mother, but his explanations were determined to be false. The complaint states that White eventually admitted to throwing his son in anger while he was playing NBA 2K. He reportedly became frustrated when he was losing a close game. “He hit his head hard on the wall, bro,” White is quoted as saying in his alleged confession. “I heard the impact of the wall after I tossed him.” The gravity of the baby’s injuries is severe. Medical scans revealed the extent of the damage, including signs of previous trauma. Authorities reported that the child is not expected to survive, and if he succumbs to his injuries, White’s charges will likely be upgraded to include homicide. Milwaukee County Jail records show White is being held on a $100,000 bond. As of now, it is unclear whether he has entered any pleas or secured an attorney. For those following crime stories, the public is urged to stay informed about ongoing developments. Updates will be provided as new information becomes available. #Milwaukee #ChildAbuse #NBA2K #JalinWhite #CrimeNews #ChildNeglect #TrueCrime Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Prosecutors in Philadelphia have dealt another setback to the family of Ellen Greenberg, a young teacher whose mysterious 2011 death was controversially ruled a suicide despite more than 20 stab wounds. The Chester County District Attorney’s Office has now concluded that there is insufficient evidence to bring criminal charges. Ellen Greenberg, 27, was discovered dead in her apartment on January 26, 2011. Her fiancé, Samuel Goldberg, found her slumped against kitchen cabinets with a knife embedded in her chest. The scene was deeply unsettling: the beloved elementary school teacher had suffered 20 stab wounds, including gashes to her back, neck, and head. Initially, Philadelphia Medical Examiner Marlon Osbourne ruled Greenberg’s death a homicide. However, the police quickly challenged this, and the classification was changed to suicide without a clear explanation, sparking outrage and confusion among those closest to her. For the past 13 years, Joshua and Sandra Greenberg, Ellen’s parents, have waged a relentless campaign for justice, pushing authorities to reconsider the circumstances of their daughter’s violent death. This week, however, the Chester County District Attorney’s Office announced that it could not pursue criminal charges. The office, which began reviewing the case in 2022, stated it could not meet the legal burden of proving a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. “This standard of proof – beyond a reasonable doubt – makes the criminal investigation different than other legal cases or issues that surround Ms. Greenberg’s death,” a spokesperson explained. “Because we cannot meet our burden of proof with the information and evidence presently available, we placed this investigation in an inactive status.” Despite the setback, the DA’s office emphasized that the case could be reopened if new evidence comes to light, as there is no statute of limitations for homicide in Pennsylvania. Greenberg’s family expressed disappointment but remained steadfast in their belief that Ellen was murdered. “Our conviction about Ellen having been murdered does not change due to the announcement by the Chester County District Attorney’s Office,” said the family’s attorney, Joseph Podraza Jr., in a statement to NBC Philadelphia. He criticized the DA’s investigation, stating, “The office did not investigate the core issues which we have raised, which establish Ellen was murdered, and that evidence remains unchallenged.” Podraza also highlighted that a former Philadelphia homicide prosecutor, who conducted an independent review of the case, concluded Ellen’s death was indeed a murder. “We now look forward to an upcoming trial where a full and forthright examination of the core issues surrounding Ellen’s murder may be publicly conducted before an independent Judge and jury of our peers,” he added. Earlier this year, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court agreed to consider the family’s case. The court will address whether executors and administrators have the right to challenge a death certificate’s finding, especially if it obstructs legal actions such as wrongful death claims or victim compensation. Additionally, the Greenbergs have filed civil lawsuits over the years, targeting officials in the medical examiner’s office, the police department, and the DA’s office, arguing that their daughter’s case was mishandled. As the legal battle continues, Ellen’s parents hold out hope that new developments will finally bring them the answers and accountability they seek. ### #EllenGreenberg #JusticeForEllen #Philadelphia #UnsolvedMystery #ChesterCountyDA #TrueCrime #PennsylvaniaJustice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

How do you cope when the person you trust most is accused of unthinkable crimes? As the flood of allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs grows more disturbing, his children are left to grapple with a devastating reality. How does one reconcile the image of a loving father with accusations that shatter the very fabric of what was once considered safe and familiar? In this episode, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott breaks down the psychological impact on families who face allegations of this magnitude. We discuss the defense mechanisms of denial and normalization, and how these mental gymnastics can twist our perception of reality. When the evidence is undeniable, is it healthier to live in blissful ignorance or to confront the ugly truth? And when the family culture is deeply ingrained, can it ever be changed? Is there a way out from this cycle of loyalty and trauma, or are some truths just too painful to face? #DiddyAllegations #PsychologyOfDenial #FamilyTrauma #TrueCrimeDiscussion #CelebrityScandals #MentalHealthAwareness #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Did Richard Allen really confess to a crime he didn't commit—or is his defense merely highlighting a disturbing reality of psychological breakdown? The trial of Richard Allen has been a rollercoaster of bizarre and unsettling details. From Bible-eating and running into walls to confessions made under extreme mental duress, the defense paints a harrowing picture of Allen's fragile psychological state, worsened by prolonged isolation and lack of human interaction. It's enough to make anyone question their grip on reality. But how credible are his confessions, and can we ever truly understand the impact of extreme mental pain on human behavior? As we explore the case, the defense raises unsettling questions about false confessions and the effects of extreme isolation. How much of our own judgment about Allen's sanity or guilt comes from misunderstanding mental health—and could that misunderstanding lead to injustice? Would you be convinced by a confession given under such conditions, or do you think there's more to the story? #RichardAllen #DelphiTrial #FalseConfession #PsychologicalBreakdown #IsolationEffects #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The MANY Failures Of Richard Allen's Delphi 'State' Psychologist & Possible Malpractice Could this case be the ultimate example of the justice system's failure to rise above bias and malpractice? The trial against Richard Allen in Delphi, Indiana, has taken countless turns, and the defense has brought in some heavyweight experts to dismantle the prosecution’s case piece by piece. From the shocking forensic anomalies surrounding Libby German’s phone to the deeply disturbing details of Allen’s alleged confessions during a psychotic break, every element of this trial has been picked apart. But perhaps the most haunting part is the question of whether Allen’s confessions, given under conditions of severe mental deterioration and isolation, could be deemed credible. Experts have described his behaviors—eating feces, stripping naked, and experiencing religious delusions—as clear signs of psychosis. Yet, the prison psychologist seemed adamant in dismissing these symptoms as mere malingering. Was this oversight born of bias, and could it amount to malpractice? Meanwhile, the forensic evidence once deemed unshakable is now under heavy scrutiny, leaving many to wonder if the prosecution’s case was ever strong enough to begin with. The community of Delphi, already scarred by loss, now stands on the precipice of a verdict that may bring an end to the trial but likely not to their pain. As the jury contemplates Allen’s fate, the question looms: will their decision reflect true justice, or will reasonable doubt cast an everlasting shadow over this case? #TrueCrime #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #JusticeSystem #Psychosis #ForensicEvidence #TrialAnalysis Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
