A missing nine-year-old. A mother in handcuffs. A timeline that makes no sense. In this Hidden Killers exclusive, Tony Brueski sits down with defense attorney Bob Motta to dissect the bizarre twists in the Melodee Buzzard disappearance. Ashlee Buzzard, the child’s mother, is now facing a felony false-imprisonment charge — a development investigators say isn’t directly tied to Melodee’s disappearance, but raises serious questions about control, motive, and manipulation.

In a stunning twist in the Gilgo Beach serial killer saga, accused murderer Rex Heuermann has officially been cleared in the 1994 strangulation death of Colleen McNamee, a Long Island sex worker long believed to be one of his potential victims. For years, McNamee’s name was quietly linked to the growing list of women found murdered across Suffolk County — a list that defined Heuermann as the face of one of the most disturbing serial murder cases in American history. But a new DNA analysis just

Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell may be serving a 20-year sentence — but according to a federal whistleblower and a new congressional letter, she’s living more like a guest than an inmate. House Democrats led by Rep. Jamie Raskin are demanding answers from the Department of Justice after explosive allegations surfaced that Maxwell is receiving VIP treatment at Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas. Reports claim she’s enjoying custom-delivered meals, after-hours private workouts, unmonitored

Two families. Two nightmares. One broken system. In this Hidden Killers double-feature, Tony Brueski and Bob Motta examine two cases that reveal the same haunting theme — what happens when justice fails. First, they unpack the Melodee Buzzard investigation, where a mother is behind bars but her daughter is still missing, leaving a trail of disguises and unanswered questions. Then, they turn to Aaron Spencer, the Arkansas father accused of second-degree murder after confronting the man previously

Diddy’s Prison Cocktail Hour: From Cîroc to Toilet Wine

2025/11/11

Sean “Diddy” Combs, once the self-crowned king of luxury, has apparently been reduced to the lowest form of intoxication known to man: prison hooch.Reports claim the former mogul was caught with homemade alcohol inside Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution — the kind of foul, bubbling concoction inmates brew in trash bags using fruit, sugar, and desperation. Forget Cîroc. Forget top-shelf anything. What Diddy’s allegedly drinking behind bars is called pruno, better known as toilet wine. It’s

When nine-year-old Melodee Buzzard vanished in early October, few could have predicted how fast her mother’s behavior would spiral. Now, new court documents and witness statements reveal a terrifying encounter — one that prosecutors call false imprisonment by violence, menace, fraud, and deceit. According to the sworn statement of Tyler Brewer, a legal document assistant and mandated reporter, he went to meet Ashlee Buzzard on November 6, 2025, to discuss helping locate Melodee.

A rape. A strangulation. Video evidence. Multiple felony counts. And an 18-year-old who should’ve faced decades in prison — but didn’t. In Payne County, Oklahoma, Jesse Butler pleaded no contest to multiple violent felonies: rape, attempted rape, assault by strangulation, and rape by instrumentation. Each count carried heavy time — up to 78 years combined. But thanks to a stunning plea deal, Butler walked free. No prison. Just community service, counseling, and “youthful offender” status. The

When police arrested Bryan Kohberger — the criminology Ph.D. student accused of murdering four University of Idaho students — they found a single book with underlining on page 118. Months later, reporting from the Idaho Statesman revealed that book was Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers — a self-help classic about conquering fear through action. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into what that detail really means. Was Kohberger simply reading a popular

A mother under arrest. A daughter still missing. And an investigation that keeps stretching across states and logic alike. On Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we break down the case of 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard, missing since early October 2025. Her mother, Ashlee Buzzard, was arrested November 7 in Santa Barbara County on a felony false-imprisonment charge with $100,000 bail. The sheriff’s office insists this arrest is not directly related to Melodee’s disappearance — but investigators rarely

In this extended episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we go deep into the quietest chapter yet in the saga of the Adelson family: the appeals. On November 4, 2025, Donna Adelson filed her notice of appeal with Florida’s First District Court of Appeal — one day before her son Charlie filed his reply brief in his own appeal. It marks the moment both mother and son officially stepped into the long, lonely process that almost never changes anything. Tony breaks down what really happens next:

2025/11/11

Two headlines. Two tragedies. And one justice system collapsing under its own contradictions. In California and Oklahoma — two stories this week reveal the same ugly truth: justice is selective. One mother sits in jail while her missing daughter remains unaccounted for. Another man, accused of horrific violence, walks free. First: The Melodee Buzzard case. Nine-year-old Melodee vanished in early October. Her mother, Ashlee Buzzard, was arrested November 7 on a false-imprisonment charge, bail set

“She lied about everything.” That’s what former Massachusetts Deputy Police Chief Robert Devine told the state’s oversight commission when he was asked about Sandra Birchmore — a 23-year-old woman found dead in her Canton, Massachusetts apartment in 2021. But behind that phrase lies one of the most disturbing stories of police corruption, grooming, and betrayal in modern American law enforcement. Sandra Birchmore joined the Stoughton Police Explorers program as a teenager — a mentorship group

In one of the most chilling post-verdict revelations yet, we’re hearing directly from the woman Donna Adelson once called her “jailhouse daughter.” Her name is Dina Burnernhard, and according to her testimony and a new interview with Surviving the Survivor, she spent five months locked up alongside Donna in the Leon County Jail. What she witnessed behind those walls is nothing like the frail, weeping grandmother the world saw in court. Dina says Donna began their friendship with a powdered donut —

2025/11/10

The real story isn’t just that the Epstein investigation was shut down — it’s how it was shut down. And why everyone inside stayed quiet. Former FBI Behavioral Program Chief Robin Dreeke joins me for an unflinching look at the inner workings of institutional obedience — the invisible forces that make people protect power instead of truth. Through a behavioral lens, Robin breaks down how fear travels through a bureaucracy — not as orders, but as tone, silence, and career calculus. He explains the

Justice doesn’t end at sentencing — and in the Bryan Kohberger case, it just got even darker. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we break down the latest courtroom development in the Idaho student-murder case. More than three years after the 2022 killings and just months after Kohberger’s guilty plea and life sentences, the court was back in session — this time to fight over restitution.

In this episode of Hidden Killers, former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke takes us inside the psychology of institutional cover-ups.

In May 2020, on Mother’s Day, Suzanne Morphew disappeared after leaving for a bike ride near her Salida, Colorado home. Her husband, Barry Morphew, told investigators she never returned — but beneath the surface was a story of secrets, tangled relationships and a forensic trail that would span years. The first murder charges against Barry were filed in 2021 — then dismissed in 2022 amid prosecutorial misconduct and investigative errors. Many thought the case was over. But when Suzanne’s remains
