The Goncalves family has taken the next step — not criminal, but civil. They’ve filed claims against Washington State University, arguing the school ignored repeated red flags about Brian Kohberger before the murders in Moscow. And now the question becomes: Does the law agree? In this deep-dive episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski sits down with former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis to unpack the legal claims, the duty-of-care standards, the foreseeability argument, and the

Brian Walshe’s Surprise Plea Flip — Will Murder Trial...

Hidden Killers Live! Daily True Crime News & Breakdowns ·

2025/11/21

Right before jury selection — right before the moment everything becomes real — Brian Walshe walked into court and detonated a grenade in his own case. He pled guilty to two critically important charges: misleading investigators and disposing of Ana Walshe’s remains. But he refused to plead guilty to murder. It’s a strange split. A risky split. And a split that reshapes the entire murder trial. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole sit down with former prosecutor and

Two major true-crime cases just took sharp, unexpected turns — one in the courtroom, one in the civil arena.First, Brian Walshe blindsided the court by pleading guilty to disposing of Ana Walshe’s remains and misleading investigators — but still maintaining he didn’t kill her. It’s a move that redefines the entire murder trial and forces huge strategic shifts for both sides. Then, across the country, Washington State University is facing legal heat. The Goncalves family has filed a civil claim

2025/11/20

The public sees headlines. Survivors feel earthquakes.As the full Epstein files move toward release, America is fixated on the political implications. But for the survivors of Epstein and his network, this is something else entirely — a psychological rupture, a reopening of wounds, a wave of validation mingled with dread.

2025/11/20

The Epstein files are about to drop — not rumors, not whispers, not selectively leaked scraps — the full trove of documents America has spent years demanding. And while the legal system prepares for its moment, the rest of the country is bracing for something far deeper: the psychological shockwave that comes when long-buried truth finally hits daylight. In this powerful hour-long conversation, Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to examine the emotional and psychological

When the Epstein files go public, the biggest shock won’t be a single name — it will be the realization of how many institutions failed, looked away, or quietly enabled a predator to operate at the highest levels of society. And once that truth lands, America is going to feel something profound: institutional betrayal. In this riveting one-hour discussion, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dig into the psychology of what happens when the public discovers that the systems they trusted

In this episode, I sit down with defense attorney and trial analyst Bob Motta to examine the most explosive development yet in the Delphi case: the collapse of the timeline investigators built around the murders of Abby and Libby.For years, the timeline was treated as settled. But when you read the depositions, the cracks spread fast. Bob and I break down how witness statements were reshaped, how the search-warrant affidavit reframed crucial descriptions, and how timelines were tightened or

2025/11/19

In our latest interview, defense attorney Bob Motta joins me to dissect the one thing the public never truly got to see in the Delphi murders case: the investigators themselves, speaking under oath. And what those depositions reveal isn’t a unified, focused, evidence-driven investigative team — it’s a fractured, inconsistent, internally conflicted system struggling under the weight of its own decisions.For years, the Delphi narrative has been kept clean and simple on the surface. But beneath that

Delphi’s Ignored Leads — Why Investigators Dropped...

2025/11/19

Today, defense attorney Bob Motta and I take a hard look at one of the most troubling aspects of the Delphi murder investigation: the leads that were dismissed, minimized, or never meaningfully followed. The depositions show something the public has never had a clear window into — investigators explaining why certain suspects weren’t pursued, why certain statements didn’t matter, why symbolic elements of the crime scene were ignored, and why potentially exculpatory information was either downplayed

It’s one of the most unsettling cases in recent memory: fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, found deceased in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to recording artist D4vd, sealed inside a plastic bag, severely decomposed — and yet months later, the official cause and manner of death remain “undetermined.”That one word has frozen the investigation in place. No homicide charge. No negligence charge. No clarity. Just a growing list of questions. Tonight on Hidden Killers, retired FBI

2025/11/18

This is the case that makes the public stop and say, “What is going on here?” Because nine-year-old Melodee Buzzard is still missing, and the one adult who could explain what happened — her mother, Ashlee Buzzard — is out of jail, walking around with nothing more than an ankle monitor and a list of unanswered questions trailing behind her. Let’s break down what the public sees. A mother takes her daughter on a multi-state trip wearing wigs. She swaps license plates. She avoids witnesses. She can’t

Inside Epstein’s Cover-Up — Why the System Protected Him

Hidden Killers Live! Daily True Crime News & Breakdowns ·

2025/11/17

The Epstein case has always revealed the same ugly truth: institutions protect influential adults far more aggressively than they protect exploited children. These new emails only deepen that pattern. In this Hidden Killers breakdown, Tony Brueski and former FBI Behavioral Analysis Program chief Robin Dreeke strip away the political noise and examine what the emails actually show: a system terrified of transparency, trained in secrecy, and conditioned to protect itself — even when minors are

Every time the Epstein story resurfaces, the same script plays out: politicians scream, narratives clash, and the core truth gets buried — kids were exploited, and adults with power were protected. These newly released Epstein emails aren’t about elections. They’re about behavior, complicity, and silence, and what happens when institutions value reputation more than justice.

In this explosive Hidden Killers feature, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dissect the most dangerous phrase in American child-protection law: “imminent danger.” It’s the loophole that leaves families powerless, law enforcement stalled, and children unprotected until tragedy strikes. The Melodee Buzzard case exposes how a slow-moving legal standard allowed a crisis to become a disappearance — even as every red flag was documented in real time.
