2026/06/18

2026/06/18

Every legal analyst in the country has an opinion on the Murdaugh retrial. Very few of them built the case the prosecution used. Eric Bland did. He exposed the financial crimes that became the state's motive theory, represented the victims who testified, and watched the Supreme Court tell prosecutors they overdid it. He also represents Sandy Smith in the Stephen Smith investigation — the cold case that SLED reopened because of the Murdaugh murders and that has produced zero arrests in eleven

2026/06/18

On June 9th, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department officially reclassified the Nancy Guthrie case from a missing persons investigation to a homicide. The FBI did not push back. And yet, in comment sections across the internet, one of the most popular theories about Nancy’s disappearance is that she’s alive and in FBI protective custody — that the whole thing was staged as part of an intelligence extraction.That theory is one of four that Tony Brueski takes apart in this episode, using nothing but

In June 1983, Cindy Paulson ran barefoot across an Anchorage airfield in handcuffs after escaping from Robert Hansen. She told police his name, his address, his car, and his plane. A security guard backed her up. Police investigated — and chose to believe the baker over the teenager.Robert Hansen confessed to killing seventeen women. He flew them into the Alaskan wilderness in his private Cessna and hunted them with a rifle. He marked the burial sites on a map. Some of those confirmed kills

2026/06/18

Every woman Rex Heuermann killed was someone the system had already overlooked. Women whose disappearances did not generate search parties or news coverage or sustained pressure on investigators. He selected them and then he went home to a wife and children who thought he was a boring architect with a long commute.That is two realities held inside one person for seventeen years. He timed the killings for when his family was on vacation. He answered the judge with one-word responses and never looked

Asa Ellerup filed for divorce from Rex Heuermann after his arrest. Then she kept visiting him. She showed up to court appearances. She participated in a Peacock documentary. She sat across from him in a supervised jailhouse visit and asked him directly how many women he killed. He said eight.From the outside that looks like a contradiction — you leave a person legally and then keep showing up. But psychotherapist Shavaun Scott says the contradiction is the point. The divorce protects the self. The

Massachusetts gave Adam Montgomery custody of his five-year-old daughter despite twenty-one criminal cases on his record. New Hampshire’s child protection system saw the bruises, documented them, and emailed police that everything was fine. Two states failed Harmony Montgomery while she was alive. Now the legal system is asking for a second chance to convict the man who, according to prosecutors, killed her and hid her body for months.The Harmony Montgomery case has reached its most consequential

Here's what we know. SLED reopened Stephen Smith's case in 2021 because of information found during the Murdaugh murder investigation. In 2023, SLED officially reclassified Stephen's death as a homicide. His body was exhumed. A second autopsy was performed. Those results are sealed. Kenny Kinsey — the prosecution's star forensic witness from the Murdaugh murder trial — is now independently investigating Stephen's death because he believes critical opportunities were missed in 2015. And still — no

A civil court ordered Adam Montgomery to pay fifteen and a half million dollars for the wrongful death of his daughter Harmony. He will never pay a single dollar. But the judgment sits in the record as a measure of what one court believes Harmony’s life was worth — a number that stands even as the criminal murder conviction has been reversed.The Harmony Montgomery case now occupies a legal no-man’s-land: Montgomery is convicted of concealing his daughter’s remains, tampering with evidence, and

Something arrived under seal in the Anna Kepner case — and within two days, the judge who’d been defending Timothy Hudson’s freedom for four months reversed himself and ordered him detained. The question everyone should be asking: what was in that filing?Magistrate Judge Edwin Torres had released Hudson in February under juvenile rules. He’d called the government’s case “a much closer call” with “various defenses.” On May 27, after a full hearing, Torres kept Hudson free. The defense pointed to

2026/06/17

It wasn’t a split decision. All five justices on the New Hampshire Supreme Court agreed: Adam Montgomery’s second-degree murder conviction in the Harmony Montgomery case could not stand. The ruling, authored by Associate Justice Bryan Gould, found that trying the murder and assault charges together prejudiced the jury against Montgomery — the airtight assault evidence propped up a murder case that depended almost entirely on one compromised witness.That witness is Kayla Montgomery.

On paper, Nick Reiner is the sole beneficiary of a trust worth more than $1.5 million. In reality, the newest filing in the Nick Reiner trust fund fight says he petitioned a judge partly so he can buy socks. This one starts with the smallest number in the file — the $300 cap on a jail commissary account at Twin Towers that, per the petition, was promised funding and never received a single deposit — and climbs all the way up to the biggest battle in this case outside the murder charges

If the wrench attack theory is correct, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department has spent four months investigating a conventional kidnapping while the actual crime involved a cryptocurrency-motivated targeting pipeline with overseas handlers and disposable operatives. If the Mexico tip represents a genuine lead, the investigation lacks a functioning cross-border channel to pursue it. And if both of those failures are real, the case may be further from resolution than the public understands.Retired

But Lynette’s daughter says Brian was always the one driving — and her mother having the key doesn’t add up.That inconsistency is one of several that have turned a reported boating accident into a federal criminal investigation.
