26 Mar 2024Beyond Words, Mark Bowden's Insight into Behavioral Clues00:12:20
In an intriguing episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired body language and behavior expert Mark Bowden delves into the intricacies of human behavior and its implications in criminal cases. Despite his primary focus on business and persuasion, Bowden's expertise offers valuable insights into the non-verbal cues exhibited by individuals in the true crime domain. The conversation covers several key points:

  • Transition from Propaganda to Behavioral Analysis: Bowden discusses his journey from exploring propaganda to analyzing body language for insights into criminal minds, emphasizing the role of non-verbal cues in understanding underlying intentions.
  • Complexity of Deception: The discussion sheds light on the heightened neural load experienced by individuals attempting to deceive, leading to potential behavioral "leakage" that can reveal hidden truths.
  • Factors Influencing Deception: Bowden outlines how risk perception and relational dynamics can affect an individual's ability to lie convincingly, noting that the context of the lie significantly impacts its detectability.
  • Challenges in Identifying Lies: The conversation acknowledges the difficulties in discerning truth from deception, particularly in cases involving individuals with antisocial personality traits who may not perceive or react to risk in typical ways.
  • The Role of Questioners: Highlighting the importance of skilled interrogation, Bowden points out that an interviewer's approach can greatly influence the likelihood of uncovering deception, especially when leveraging known evidence or feigning knowledge of incriminating information.

01 Apr 2024The Notorious B.I.G. Question- How Did Diddy Do It?00:06:07
In the latest gripping episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," the conversation turns to none other than Sean Combs, aka Diddy, and his fascinating fall from the gleaming heights of hip-hop royalty to the shadowy depths of alleged depravity. Shavaun Scott, a  psychotherapist and author, lends her expertise to dissect the curious case of how a man who ostensibly achieved the American Dream—complete with an empire that spanned music, fashion, and vodka—could possibly find himself ensnared in controversies that seem more fitting for a villain in a psychological thriller than a music mogul.

Highlights of their dialogue include:

  • A bemused recounting of Diddy’s journey from humble origins to becoming the king of an entertainment empire, juxtaposed against the backdrop of allegations that paint a far less flattering picture.
  • Scott’s musings on the nature of power and its intoxicating effect on the psyche, suggesting that Diddy's alleged fall from grace isn’t just a tale of success gone sour but a psychological saga of what happens when too much wealth meets too little restraint.
  • The discussion veers into the realm of the grotesque as parallels are drawn with other high-profile cases of downfall, hinting that Diddy’s story is but a verse in the sordid song of celebrity excess leading to moral bankruptcy.
  • Insights into the psychology behind such dramatic reversals of fortune, where Scott posits that the seeds of such behaviors were likely sown long before the world knew Diddy as anything more than a fledgling rapper and producer.
  • A speculative exploration into why such disturbing behaviors seem to be a recurring theme among the ultra-wealthy, with Scott offering her perspective on the mix of hubris, isolation, and a distorted sense of impunity as contributing factors.

02 Apr 2024Diddy's Deviant Dynasty A Cult of Personality00:11:37
In an enthralling episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," the spotlight swivels from the stage to the shadowy corners of Diddy’s empire, suggesting a narrative twist that veers into cult territory. Joined by Shavaun Scott, a psychotherapist and author, the discussion peels back the glamorous veneer of the music mogul’s life to reveal a narrative that could rival any thriller. Here's the lowdown:

  • Cult of Personality: The episode begins with a provocative question: Was Diddy running a cult? Not in the traditional sense of religious fervor, but in the psychological entrapment and idolization that surrounded him.
  • Insular World: Scott points out the markers of a cult-like structure within Diddy’s realm, highlighting the insulation, control, and almost deific reverence he commanded among those in his inner circle.
  • Sexual Exploitation Allegations: The conversation takes a darker turn as civil allegations against Diddy are discussed, involving the employment of women solely for sexual purposes, drawing unsettling parallels with known sex cults.
  • Mind Manipulation: The duo delves into the mind-bending reality of living within Diddy’s world, questioning how one transitions from a music icon to a figure capable of such alleged manipulation and control.
  • Cluster B Personality Disorders: Scott introduces the concept of cluster B personality disorders as a lens to understand the potentially deep-seated origins of such behaviors, painting a picture of Diddy not just as a music mogul gone rogue, but as someone fundamentally different in his empathy and moral compass.
  • The Power of Cameras: A particularly chilling aspect of the allegations is discussed—Diddy’s reported obsession with surveillance, which Scott links to a specific paraphilic desire for control and voyeurism.
  • The Unraveling: As the episode wraps up, the conversation shifts to the broader implications of these revelations, pondering the future of Diddy’s legacy, the potential empowerment of survivors, and the complex emotional fallout for his family.

03 Apr 2024Kohberger Case 400 Witnesses and Counting, Overkill or Underhanded00:05:30
In a twist that feels more like a subplot from a legal drama than real life, the pre-trial shenanigans of Brian Kohberger’s defense team have taken center stage in Moscow, Idaho. On "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Shavaun Scott, a psychotherapist and author, offers her insights into this bizarre unfolding. The episode dives deep into the ethical quagmire stirred up by defense attorney Ann Taylor’s mass mailer maneuver aimed at potential jurors. Here's a snapshot of the discussion:

  • Ann Taylor's aggressive defense strategy includes sending out questionnaires to potential jurors, a move that the judge promptly shut down.
  • The discussion circles around the implications of such tactics, questioning whether they aim to prove jury bias or further muddle the waters.
  • Scott raises eyebrows over the announced plan to have 400 witnesses, poking fun at the logistical and rational feasibility of such a claim.
  • The ethics of attempting to influence public perception before the trial is scrutinized, with both Brueski and Scott questioning the line between defense diligence and ethical dilemmas.
  • Speculation abounds on whether this tactic is about winning the case or planting seeds of doubt to ultimately save Kohberger’s life.
  • The conversation touches on the likelihood of moving the trial and whether any location in Idaho would be unaffected by the extensive media coverage and public awareness of the case.

04 Apr 2024Sadistic Suburbia Unraveling the Franke Family Nightmare00:07:06
In a gripping episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," guest Shavaun Scott, psychotherapist and author, delves into the harrowing saga of the Franke family. Ruby and Kevin Franke, once the seemingly benign faces behind the popular YouTube channel Eight Passengers, are now at the heart of a chilling child abuse scandal, with their neighbor Jody Hildebrandt playing a significant, and sinister, role. Here's a condensed overview of their discussion:

  • Harrowing Revelations: Recent document and data dumps have unveiled distressing details of child abuse within the Franke household, drawing parallels to historical atrocities.
  • Incomprehensible Parenting: Scott reflects on the disturbing treatment of the Franke children, struggling to comprehend how any parent could inflict such suffering.
  • Cult-Like Dynamics: The conversation highlights Jody Hildebrandt's cult leader-like influence over the Frankie family, exacerbating Ruby and Kevin's preexisting personality flaws.
  • Ruby's Radical Shift: Ruby's phone calls depict a drastic change in her stance towards Jody, raising questions about the authenticity of her transformation or the psychological turmoil she's experiencing.
  • Kevin's Peculiar Position: Despite the Mormon belief system that typically places men at the head of the household, Kevin Franke's passive acceptance of Ruby and Jody's dictates starkly contradicts this norm, illustrating his unusual and troubling compliance.
  • Legal Oddities: The absence of legal barriers preventing Kevin from seeing his children, yet his choice to comply with Ruby and Jody's demands, points to Jody's significant control and manipulation.

08 Apr 2024Diddy's Delusions: A Psychotherapist's Perspective00:06:28
In the riveting episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott delves into the complex psyche of Sean Combs, alias P. Diddy, amid swirling allegations and federal investigations. Tony and Shavaun explore the fascinating, albeit disturbing, nexus of narcissism and alleged criminal behavior that seems to cloak Diddy's glittering persona. Scott posits that Diddy's grandiose self-image, shaped by years of unchecked behavior and adulation, may have led to a dangerous disconnect from reality. This, she suggests, could be why despite serious allegations and federal raids, Diddy remains seemingly unphased, entrenched in a belief of his own untouchability. The conversation navigates the murky waters of narcissistic self-justification and the potential for self-delusion so profound that it blinds one to the harm caused to others. They further discuss the cultural complicity in elevating such personalities, questioning the societal rewards for narcissism and the power dynamics that enable them. It's a sobering reflection on celebrity, power, and the human psyche's darker corners.

  • Sean Combs' narcissistic traits and their impact on his perception of the federal raids and allegations.
  • The psychological mechanisms that might lead Diddy to deny any wrongdoing despite overwhelming evidence.
  • The role of societal adulation in reinforcing Diddy's grandiose self-image and sense of untouchability.
  • The potential for Diddy's narcissism to have facilitated his alleged criminal behavior.
  • The cultural fascination with and elevation of narcissistic personalities, especially in the entertainment industry.
  • The discussion on why narcissism seems to be a trait shared by many successful individuals and its correlation with their rise to power.

In a captivating episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," guest psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott dissects the intricate web of narcissism, alleged misconduct, and the impact of fame on Sean Combs, a.k.a. Diddy. The conversation peels back the layers of Diddy's grandiose persona, exploring how deep-seated fantasies of grandeur from his youth may have paved the way for his future actions.

Moreover, the discussion touches on the potential role of addiction in Diddy's life, considering whether substance abuse could be a key factor in his erratic behavior. As the dialogue shifts to Diddy's children, Scott raises concerns about the cycle of narcissism and misconduct potentially perpetuated through generations, highlighting the challenges his offspring face in escaping the shadow of their father's legacy.

In an episode that peels back the glittering veneer of celebrity culture, Tony Brueski's "Hidden Killers" podcast welcomes psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to dissect the disturbing dynamics within Diddy's entourage. The discussion reveals a world where allegiance to Diddy commands a high moral cost, with entourage members displaying a disturbing willingness to fulfill his every whim, including coercing sexual acts. This behavior is likened to child predators like R. Kelly and Jeffrey Epstein, who preyed on vulnerable individuals desperate for attention and a better life. Scott explains this as a combination of trauma bonding and a deep-seated need for purpose, where individuals, seeking importance and power through association, succumb to the manipulative tactics of a narcissistic figure like Diddy. They delve into the psyche of those ensnared in Diddy's world, suggesting a mix of denial, self-justification, and perhaps a dawning realization of their predicament as the legal walls close in. The episode doesn't just question the individuals' responsibility but also points to a broader cultural complicity in elevating such figures, prompting a reevaluation of our collective obsession with celebrity power dynamics.

Kohberger's alibi that he likes to drive around at night to stargaze, which the court initially found inadequate, is critiqued. The updated alibi adds little, merely including details about cell phone locations when the phone was supposedly off. The conversation expresses skepticism about the effectiveness of this alibi and discusses the broader implications of using competing experts in digital forensics to create confusion and potentially instill reasonable doubt among jurors. The dialogue also touches on the lack of support from those who know Kohberger personally, highlighting that no positive character witnesses have emerged, contrasting with the online communities prematurely declaring his innocence. The episode delves into the complexities and potential desperation in the defense's strategy, including an exploration of how Kohberger's behavior could be perceived by a jury.

**Main Points:**
- Kohberger's alibi involves mundane activities like driving at night to look at stars, considered insufficient by the court.
- Updated defense includes details about his phone being off during crucial times, aiming to prove his absence from the crime scene.
- Discussion on the strategy of employing expert witnesses to counteract prosecution evidence and create jury confusion.
- Reflection on the lack of personal support for Kohberger, with acquaintances only describing him as odd or disturbing.
- Consideration of the defense's potential long-term strategy and the challenges it faces in proving Kohberger's innocence.

25 Apr 2024Did Karen Read 'Black-Out' or 'Block-Out' The Night Of John O'Keefe's Death?00:07:11
In the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," featuring psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott, the discussion explores the reliability of memory in legal contexts. Scott delves into the fallibility of human memory, explaining that unlike a digital recording, human brains construct and reconstruct events, creating a narrative that may not align with actual events. This narrative construction can lead to significant discrepancies in eyewitness testimony and personal recollections, affecting their reliability in court cases. The conversation also touches on the potential for memories to be influenced or altered by suggestions, even leading to completely fabricated memories, as discussed in examples of memory research and therapy malpractices. Additionally, the topic of memory blocking, particularly in traumatic events or during states like blackouts, is examined, highlighting how memories formed during these times may be unreliable or completely absent.

**Main Points:**
- Human memory is highly unreliable and is not a straightforward recording of events but a reconstructive process influenced by perception and narrative construction.
- Eyewitness testimonies can vary dramatically due to the suggestible nature of human memory, leading to different recollections of the same event by different people.
- Past research and clinical examples illustrate how easily memories can be implanted or altered, especially in vulnerable individuals or through suggestive questioning.
- Memories can also be blocked or not formed at all during traumatic events or in states like alcohol-induced blackouts, further complicating their use in legal proceedings.
- The discussion raises concerns about the use of such unreliable memories in court, emphasizing the need for caution in handling eyewitness accounts and personal testimonies.

In this episode of 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,' psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the perplexing case of Ellen Greenberg, who died from what was initially ruled a suicide but involved circumstances so bizarre that they beggar belief.

21 May 2024Is This The Nail In The Coffin For Karen Read's Case?00:10:30
In this episode of 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski', psychologist Dr. John Delatorre delves into the intricate details of the Karen Read trial, focusing on key witness testimonies and their impact on the case. The defense has suggested alternative suspects and has presented various testimonies attempting to cast doubt on the prosecution's narrative. One significant testimony comes from Brian Albert Jr., who observed a black SUV near the crime scene, potentially linking Read’s vehicle to the incident. Another crucial witness, Juliana Nagel, described seeing a black blob near a flagpole, which might have been the victim. Dr. Delatorre discusses the challenges of eyewitness testimony, the difficulties of proving intent, and the overall messiness of the case, particularly given the weather conditions and the state of the parties involved. He emphasizes that while the prosecution’s witnesses are credible and straightforward, the defense’s conspiracy theory lacks substantial evidence and might not resonate with the jury. Dr. Delatorre suggests that a narrative focusing on panic and accidental cover-up could have been more effective for the defense.

Main Points

- The defense of Karen Read is pointing to alternative suspects, including Brian Albert Jr., and challenging the prosecution’s narrative.
- Brian Albert Jr. testified about seeing a black SUV near the crime scene, potentially linking it to Karen Read.

22 May 2024Will The Jury Reject The Defense Of Karen Read For Simply Being Unlikeable?00:06:36
In this episode of 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski', psychologist Dr. John Delatorre discusses the ongoing trial of Karen Read, focusing on the defense's strategy and its effectiveness in swaying the jury. The defense has accused various individuals, including the Alberts, of involvement in the events surrounding the incident. They have presented multiple "gotcha" moments in court, attempting to discredit witnesses by highlighting inconsistencies and suggesting a conspiracy. However, Dr. Delatorre and Brueski note that these moments lack significant impact, as the witnesses appear genuine and the testimonies do not convincingly support the conspiracy theory. Delatorre suggests that the defense's approach, which emphasizes a complex conspiracy, may be misguided. He believes that a simpler narrative of panic and cover-up following an accidental death would have been more plausible. The conversation highlights the challenges the defense faces in convincing the jury, especially given the straightforward nature of the witnesses and the unconvincing evidence for a grand conspiracy.

Main Points

- The defense of Karen Read is making accusations against multiple individuals, including the Alberts, suggesting their involvement.
- The defense's strategy involves "gotcha" moments to discredit witnesses, but these moments lack significant impact.
- Witnesses appear genuine, and their testimonies do not convincingly support the defense's conspiracy theory.
- Dr. John Delatorre believes the defense's focus on a complex conspiracy is misguided.
- A simpler narrative of panic and cover-up following an accidental death would have been more plausible.
- The straightforward nature of the witnesses makes it difficult for the defense to convince the jury of a grand conspiracy.
- The defense's approach may not bode well for Karen Read, as the jury is unlikely to be swayed by the conspiracy theory.

04 Jun 2024Will Diddy's Apology Video Land Him Behind Bars?00:06:08
In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," forensic psychologist Joni E. Johnston discusses recent developments involving Sean "Diddy" Combs and his public apology following the release of a hotel video that corroborates allegations made against him by Cassie in her civil suit. Initially, Diddy harshly denied all accusations and defamed the alleged victims, but the video evidence prompted him to take full responsibility for his actions, expressing disgust and seeking professional help. Johnston questions the sincerity of Diddy's apology, noting the timing and the ongoing defamation of victims as undermining his credibility. She emphasizes that true change in behavior requires significant effort and is not merely a result of aging. Despite her optimism, Johnston highlights that repeated allegations against Diddy suggest a pattern of behavior unlikely to change without substantial and observable efforts. The discussion touches on the difficulties of genuinely changing such deep-seated behavior, especially when apologies follow public exposure rather than genuine remorse.

Main Points
- **Initial Denial:** Diddy initially denied all allegations and defamed the victims.
- **Video Evidence:** A hotel video emerged, corroborating Cassie's civil suit allegations against Diddy.
- **Public Apology:** Diddy issued a public apology, taking full responsibility and expressing disgust at his behavior.
- **Skepticism:** Johnston is skeptical of Diddy's sincerity due to the timing of his apology and ongoing defamation.
- **Behavioral Change:** True behavioral change requires significant effort and is not automatic with age.
- **Pattern of Behavior:** Repeated allegations suggest a consistent pattern of abusive behavior.
- **Questionable Sincerity:** Apologies following public exposure often indicate regret for being caught rather than genuine remorse.
