D4vd: What the Autopsy and the Timeline Actually Reveal

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News &... ·

2026/05/02

The autopsy was completed months before prosecutors charged David Anthony Burke. It was sealed at LAPD's request — reportedly over the medical examiner's own public objection. Celeste Rivas Hernandez's family waited without answers while the investigation continued behind closed doors. When the report was finally unsealed, it confirmed what prosecutors had been building toward — and what the defense now has to confront.Two stab wounds to the torso, both with smooth edges consistent with a sharp

2026/05/02

The recorded calls from Washington County tell you everything about Joseph Duggar's priorities — and the child he allegedly harmed is not among them. He manages his Airbnb. He discusses Bible translations. He tracks which brothers are on vacation. He tells Kendra he feels upset to be "in this situation." He prays for hours. He never once mentions the alleged victim. Not her name. Not her wellbeing. Not a single word of acknowledgment that a child exists at the center of these charges.Joseph faces

2026/05/02

Timothy Hudson's defense team requested the adult transfer themselves. They entered a not guilty plea without their client in the courtroom. They are pushing for the same judge who released him in February — when this was still a sealed juvenile case — to decide whether he stays free now that he faces first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse charges as an adult in federal court. Every one of those decisions tells you something. Former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis reads each

D4vd: Three Grand Juries and Still No Indictment

2026/05/02

Three grand juries. Months of proceedings. Subpoena power. Witness testimony. And not one of them produced an indictment against David Anthony Burke in the alleged murder of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. So the DA filed a criminal complaint instead — and defense attorney Blair Berk made sure the courtroom heard that distinction loud and clear before pushing for the fastest possible preliminary hearing.That is not a detail. That is the fault line this entire case may crack along.Trial

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News &... ·

2026/05/02

For years, Sandra Birchmore’s family held vigils outside buildings that didn’t want them there. They held signs at the Stoughton Police Department. They demanded answers from a system that had already decided Sandra did this to herself. Then the FBI came.On August 28, 2024, agents arrested Matthew Farwell and charged him with killing Sandra to prevent her from exposing his crimes. A superseding indictment added a charge under the Unborn Victims of Violence Act for the death of her unborn baby boy

Eric Faddis — criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor — joins Hidden Killers for an extended session covering three major cases demanding attention. In the Kohberger case, defense-retained forensic scientist Brent Turvey is publicly alleging chain of custody deficiencies with the knife sheath — the sole piece of physical evidence carrying Kohberger's DNA — that he says could have been challenged at trial.

This episode is about the machinery. The subpoenas, the indictment, the pretrial legal battles, and the courtroom moments that shaped this case before a single juror was seated.The prosecution subpoenaed the FBI Lab at Quantico, the Ohio BCI, Apple, Verizon, WhatsApp, Meta, Google, Microsoft, social media platforms, financial institutions, and software companies.

Mopreme Shakur filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of the estate of Mutulu Shakur, naming Keffe D and up to one hundred unnamed John Doe co-conspirators in the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur. The complaint alleges a conspiracy that extends far beyond the occupants of the white Cadillac that pulled alongside Tupac's car near the Las Vegas Strip on September 7, 1996. Keffe D — the only person ever criminally charged in connection with the murder — has spent years

His daughter says she carried the lye. His wife's re-autopsy reportedly revealed a possible defensive wound. And an alleged accomplice has reportedly broken years of silence. The case of Donald Dean Studey and Green Hollow keeps getting harder to ignore. Lucy Studey-McKiddy alleges her father killed dozens of women over decades in the remote hills near Thurman, Iowa — Fremont County, about forty miles from Omaha — and disposed of them in wells on the family property.

Her father stopped her math education at fractions. His law degree couldn’t be used in his own state. She had the test scores for scholarships but no transcript the real world recognized. The Wisdom Booklets — the Duggar family curriculum — produced a generation of adults who are now rebuilding from scratch. Filling in academic gaps. Unlearning trained self-blame. Teaching their own children the things they were never taught. ATI ceased enrollment in 2021 without remediation, acknowledgment, or

Rob and Michele Reiner were found dead from multiple stab wounds inside their Brentwood home on December 14, 2025. Their son Nick was arrested hours later and has been held without bail at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility ever since, charged with two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances — making him eligible for the death penalty under California law.

Bryan Kohberger pled guilty and is serving four consecutive life sentences for the murders of four University of Idaho students. No trial. No cross-examination. No jury verdict. And now, the forensic expert his own defense hired is alleging that the knife sheath — the only physical evidence tying Kohberger to the crime scene through DNA — had a chain of custody so flawed it could have been challenged and potentially excluded at trial.

Sandra Birchmore: One Hour to Bury the Truth

2026/05/01

Within one hour of finding Sandra Birchmore’s body, officers told the medical examiner there had been no foul play. That call shaped everything. The medical examiner never visited the scene. Canton police misidentified the murder weapon as a scarf. Investigators never compelled a DNA sample from the man seen on surveillance entering Sandra’s building the night she was last seen alive. They let him keep his phone for days. They never searched his home.Federal prosecutors later wrote it plainly: at

Three perspectives. One serial killer. And a family that will never be the same. The Peacock documentary on Rex Heuermann gave us access that no trial, no courtroom, no press conference ever could have — the private moments when a wife and a daughter learned the full scope of what the man they loved had done. Asa Ellerup's story is one of a woman whose entire life before Rex was defined by trauma — adopted, assaulted, suicidal — and whose entire life with Rex was defined by a reality he constructed

This episode makes sure that doesn't happen to Ashley Flynn.She graduated from Tippecanoe High School and Lee University. She came home to Tipp City and never left. She taught elementary school, substituted across the district, coached seventh-grade girls volleyball, and taught bible lessons at LifeWise Academy.

What Deputy DA Beth Silverman put on the record describes an alleged sexual relationship with a child that started at thirteen, a murder prosecutors say was driven by career preservation, and a cover-up so detailed that prosecutors say it included staged text messages

Rex Heuermann killed women in the same room where he grew up. The same room where he went through puberty. The same room where, according to the FBI's John Douglas, the violent fantasies that would eventually consume him first took root. He never left that room — not psychologically, not physically. He converted his childhood bedroom into a space his own wife was forbidden to enter, filled it with his childhood belongings, and used it to carry out the most brutal acts imaginable over the course of

Bill Gothard reduced the French Revolution to a lesson about disobedience. The Wisdom Booklets — the Duggar family’s curriculum — taught children that all authority is divine, that questioning it invites destruction, and that the separation of church and state is rebellion against God. The law sections framed Old Testament codes as binding civil law. The Character First program carried Gothard’s ideology into public schools without disclosure. Arkansas prisons adopted his teachings. And the man who

Ten feet. That's the distance between where Victoria Heuermann sat as a child watching television and playing video games, and the room where her father strangled, murdered, and dismembered women over the course of nearly two decades. Ten feet between a normal childhood and a crime scene. She didn't know it then. She knows it now. And she went back to that house, walked into that basement room, lit sage, and tried to cleanse the space where Rex Heuermann carried out the worst acts imaginable — acts

She was adopted and never felt wanted. Assaulted at sixteen. Attempted to take her own life before she was out of her teens. And then a man named Rex Heuermann showed up and said move in, I'll handle everything. For a woman who had never once felt safe in her own skin, that offer wasn't romance — it was survival. And it sealed her fate for the next three decades. The Peacock documentary on Rex Heuermann gave us something the courtroom never would have — a raw, unfiltered look at the woman standing
