The Psychology of a Manipulator; Robin Dreeke on How Stephan Sterns Groomed Trust
What kind of person can look you in the eye, swear they’ve done nothing wrong, and actually believe it? Welcome to the twisted world of Stefan Stearns, the man at the center of the horrifying case of 13-year-old Madeline Soto. Investigators didn’t have to work too hard to follow his trail—it was practically lit up with neon signs, from self-incriminating digital evidence to surveillance footage that paints a grim picture. But what really makes this case stand out isn’t just the heinous crimes—it’s the chilling way Stearns seemingly rationalizes his actions.

Retired FBI Special Agent and behavioral expert Robin Dreeke breaks down the mind of a manipulator, diving into how predators like Stearns justify the unthinkable. From disturbing interrogation tactics to the unsettling way he deflects responsibility, we explore how investigators crack the mindset of a man who truly believes his own lies. But here’s the real question: Can someone like this even recognize that what they’re doing is evil, or are they just playing a different game altogether?

What makes someone go from studying crime to allegedly committing it?

In this chilling discussion, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dig into the psychological makeup of individuals who cross the line from academic curiosity to violent obsession. Was substance abuse a trigger, or was it simply a symptom of something much darker? What role do years of violent fantasies play in shaping a killer? And perhaps most disturbingly, what does it say when family members aren’t entirely shocked when their loved one is accused of a horrific crime?

With eerie hindsight, even the suspect’s criminology research seems to hint at something more than just academic interest. Was he studying crime to prevent it—or to perfect it?

Is New Delphi BOMBSHELL Witness Credible
Could Richard Allen have been convicted while key evidence was buried? The Delphi case just took another sharp turn, and it’s not looking good for the prosecution. Judge Fran Gull has officially denied multiple motions from Allen’s defense, effectively slamming the door on their latest attempt to overturn his conviction. No hearings, no second chances—just a hard stop. But here’s where things get wild: new claims suggest that another man, Ron Logan, allegedly confessed to the murders while in prison, implicating others, including Keegan Klein. And yet, these confessions were allegedly buried before Allen's trial.

Defense Attorney Bob Motta dives into the legal chaos, explaining how a critical 17-minute discrepancy in the prosecution’s timeline could blow the whole case wide open on appeal. Meanwhile, an inmate named Reese Davis, serving 50 years on a drug charge, insists he has nothing to gain from speaking out—but his claims align eerily well with information the public didn’t even know in 2017. So, was justice actually served, or are we just getting started on peeling back the layers of what really happened in Delphi?

Did Prosecutors IGNORE Key Evidence to Protect Someone in Delphi Case?
Was there ever a real search for the truth in the Delphi case, or were investigators just playing a game of legal Twister, contorting themselves to fit one narrative while ignoring key evidence? The latest revelations bring back Ron Logan’s alleged confession, the strange behavior of Kegan Klein, and a justice system that seemingly had selective hearing. Why did Ricky Davis, an inmate with no apparent incentive, claim that Logan confessed to him back in 2017—only to have investigators shrug it off like an unwanted jury summons? And what about the allegations that Logan and Klein were exchanging disturbing material? If true, that would make the connections between these men far more than just circumstantial.

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to dive into the psychology of false confessions, manipulation, and the unsettling motives at play. Were authorities blinded by bias, or is this just a tangled mess of coincidences that happen to look like a cover-up?

$300,000 for a Killer! The Dark Psychology of Luigi Mangione's Public Support
What drives people to open their wallets for an alleged murderer? Sure, we all love a good anti-hero, but there’s a difference between rooting for Batman and donating nearly $300,000 to the legal defense of Luigi Mangioni, the Ivy League grad accused of assassinating United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson—especially when the whole thing was caught on camera. So why is the internet rallying behind him?

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins the discussion, breaking down the psychological motivations behind this kind of mass support. Is it his Robin Hood-esque appeal? A shared hatred of the healthcare system? Or are we just suckers for a good-looking outlaw? And if Luigi had looked more like the Unabomber, would we even be having this conversation?

As the conversation deepens, we explore the rising trend of revenge fantasies, the impact of social media outrage, and why people seem more consumed by collective anger than ever before. Is our obsession with taking down "the system" clouding our judgment of who the real villains are?

Would YOU Donate to a Killer? The Insane Reality of This Case
What makes someone open their wallet for an alleged killer? That’s the million-dollar—well, nearly $300,000—question in the case of Luigi Mangioni, the Ivy League grad turned assassin who took out United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in broad daylight. The shocking part? The massive wave of public support and financial backing for Mangioni’s legal defense.

Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott to unpack the psychology behind why people are rallying behind a man caught on camera committing murder. Is it the anti-hero appeal? The deep-seated rage against corporate greed? Or is it just because he doesn’t look like the Unabomber? Turns out, being easy on the eyes might just make you easier to forgive.

We dig into Mangioni’s privileged upbringing, his descent into radicalism, and the allure of narcissistic personalities that seem to capture the public’s imagination. What drives people to glorify those who act out their darkest fantasies? And at what point does righteous fury turn into blind support?

The Dark Side of Public Sympathy – Why Luigi Mangione Became A Hero
Is social media turning us all into rage-fueled time bombs? Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott to dissect the ever-growing culture of outrage and revenge fantasies. Are people more consumed by anger than ever before, or have we just given them better tools to nurture their fury? From online echo chambers to the eerie rise of hospital violence, they explore the psychology behind our obsession with seething resentment. More importantly, is there any way to fix it before we all end up spiraling into collective madness? Or is it already too late?

Prosecutors ACCUSE Karen Read’s Defense of a Major Cover up
What happens when a so-called "unbiased" expert witness suddenly has a financial incentive to lean one way? The Karen Read case just took another wild turn as the prosecution accuses the defense of secretly hiring and coaching an expert witness—without telling the court. And let’s just say Judge Beverly Canonne is not amused. When a judge uses the phrase "grave concern" and looks like she just ran a marathon, you know something shady is going down.

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to unpack the ethical nightmare of expert witnesses, how bias creeps into the courtroom, and what this bombshell could mean for the entire case. Are we about to see a full defense team shake-up? And more importantly—how does a jury even begin to sort through this mess?

Karen Read’s Secret Witness Deal | Prosecutors Drop BOMBSHELL!
Did the defense just buy their own version of reality? The courtroom is in chaos as Judge Beverly Kano abruptly calls a recess, visibly shaken, after new revelations about the defense’s dealings with their expert witnesses. Prosecutors are crying foul, accusing Karen Read’s team of secretly coaching experts and hiding financial ties to ARCCA, the group hired to reconstruct the night John O’Keefe died.

And it’s not just about money—emails reveal carefully crafted testimony, with experts allegedly tailoring their responses to fit the defense’s narrative. $23,925 later, the prosecution claims they were blindsided by the whole arrangement. So, is this a legal bombshell or just standard courtroom strategy? Former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins the discussion to untangle the mess.

If an expert gets paid to testify, at what point do they stop being an expert and just become a very expensive parrot?

Mistrial Again? Could Karen Read’s Trial Be Derailed Before It Starts?
Could the entire case against Karen Read be on the verge of collapse? The courtroom is in chaos after Judge Beverly Cannone abruptly halted proceedings, visibly shaken, leaving everyone wondering what bombshell just dropped. The latest controversy? The prosecution is pushing to remove ARCA, the accident reconstruction firm hired by the defense, accusing them of secret financial ties and witness coaching.

If the judge sides with the prosecution, it could deal a devastating blow to Read’s defense. But is this really about justice, or just another high-stakes legal maneuver? Former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis joins to break down the drama, the alleged ethical violations, and what it all means for the trial. Are we witnessing a true legal scandal, or just another round of courtroom theatrics?

Judge STUNNED – Halts Karen Read Hearing Over Shocking New Evidence!
Could a single misstep derail an entire defense? Judge Beverly Cannone’s reaction says it all—grave concern, a shaky voice, and a decision to halt proceedings. But what’s behind this sudden courtroom drama? A shifting stance on expert testimony, potential ethical dilemmas, and a timeline that raises more questions than answers.

As former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks it down, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Is this just a legal blunder that looks worse than it really is? Or could it expose something far more calculated? And with ARCCA’s involvement now a double-edged sword, will the defense dare to use their findings at trial—or cut their losses before it’s too late?

Richard Allen’s Conviction in JEOPARDY | The Explosive Delphi Jail Letter EXPLAINED
Could a hidden confession have been swept under the rug in the Delphi case? Between missing evidence, questionable investigative practices, and now an alleged confession ignored by prosecutors, the case against Richard Allen is looking shakier by the day. If the prosecution suppressed letters detailing a jailhouse confession from Ron Logan, that’s not just bad form—it’s a legal disaster that could unravel everything. And let’s not forget, this isn't the first time crucial evidence in this case has mysteriously "disappeared." From lost tapes to misplaced records, it’s almost like someone’s been playing a real-life game of "hide and seek" with the truth. So, is this just another blunder in a long list of missteps, or is there something more sinister at play?

Delphi Murders- No Excuse for This! Did Prosecutors DELIBERATELY Hide Key Evidence?
Could the handling of this case be any more of a mess? Between alleged missed evidence, suspicious connections, and a justice system that seems to be taking a nap, it's hard to know where this is headed. Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to break down the latest accusations surrounding Richard Allen's trial, including claims of a potential cover-up and missing exculpatory letters that could change everything. Is there any chance the FBI or another higher authority will step in, or are we just watching another case slowly unravel before our eyes?

Hidden Confession: The Jail Letter That Delphi Prosecutors Didn’t Want in Court
Could the Delphi case be even messier than we thought? Between alleged ignored confessions, missing evidence, and a potential web of conflicts of interest, this case keeps raising more questions than answers. Former Felony Prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis joins to break down the latest twists, including a jailhouse confession that was allegedly buried and a series of letters that may have gone missing—letters that could completely upend the case against Richard Allen. If prosecutors suppressed evidence pointing to another suspect, what does that mean for the integrity of the trial? And why does so much in this case seem to mysteriously disappear?

Matthew Lee Richards, 42, a former youth pastor at Crossroads Christian Church, pleaded guilty Tuesday to two counts of attempted first-degree murder after admitting to stabbing his wife and four children in an act tied to an imminent eviction due to overwhelming debt. Richards remains in Johnson County Jail and is scheduled for sentencing on March 26.

According to the Johnson County District Attorney’s Office, several 911 calls were received just before 4 a.m. on September 16, 2023, reporting a house fire and a stabbing in a Shawnee residence, a suburb of Kansas City. One caller described hearing a fire alarm and a distressing account of a father chasing his children with a knife, while another reported a stabbing.

Officers arriving at the scene discovered three victims with stab wounds outside the blazing home. Investigators reported that smoke was billowing from the residence and that an explosion had blown out the garage doors. The affidavit detailed that Richards’ wife, four sons (including one 19-year-old, with the remaining minors), and daughter were all stabbed, with his wife and two children sustaining serious injuries.

One of the children later told officers that the family had been asleep when Richards began his attack, with one minor stating, “dad has a knife.” Once apprehended and treated for smoke inhalation, Richards reportedly confessed during an interview, saying, “I stabbed my family.”

Detectives later revealed that Richards had not been honest with his wife about their dire financial situation. Facing eviction that very day, the family had not been prepared, prompting Richards to hatch a plan that involved setting the house on fire as a cover for his attack. He admitted that after igniting the fire in the basement, he armed himself with a knife and began stabbing his family. Though Richards claimed limited recollection of stabbing the children, investigators noted his acknowledgment of the violence inflicted upon them, including detailed injuries such as a horizontal slash across a son’s neck and a laceration that exposed internal organs.

Neighbors recounted the chaos unfolding that night. “It’s sad, knowing that we’ve seen those kids out playing in their driveway, with their family,” said one local resident, adding that the normally quiet neighborhood was soon overrun with fire crews and police.

Richards, who had served as a youth pastor since 2016 and was known for his warm, engaging style with children, had also been a seventh-grade English teacher at Christ Prep Academy. His online biographies, once celebrating his love for teaching and his family’s shared passions for God, people, and sports, have since been removed.

In response to the tragedy, Crossroads Christian Church’s senior pastor Kurt Witten expressed deep shock and sorrow via Facebook, calling the events “a tragedy beyond what any of us could have imagined” and urging respect for the family’s privacy as they navigate their long recovery. The church has also set up a fund to assist with medical and living expenses.

What initially appeared to be a random road rage shooting on Grand Parkway has been exposed as a calculated murder-for-hire scheme, allegedly orchestrated by a father and his stepson.

In the early hours of February 4, a 40-year-old man was driving his work vehicle along Grand Parkway when an unknown gunman opened fire multiple times. The victim was struck by several bullets but miraculously survived and remains hospitalized. Authorities initially suspected a road rage altercation, but surveillance footage from inside the victim’s truck revealed a far more sinister plot.

On February 15, police arrested Ricardo Obando, 49, and his stepson, Matthew Rosas, 24, on charges of attempted capital murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Prosecutors allege that Obando was hired to kill the victim, while Rosas was paid $300 to serve as the getaway driver. Rosas reportedly admitted his involvement, revealing that he had been tracking the victim’s movements for several days before the attack.

Investigators discovered $220 and two fresh $100 bills on Rosas at the time of his arrest, which he claimed was the remainder of his payment for the crime.

During their court appearance, Obando was ordered not to have contact with Rosas—until he disclosed their family connection, referring to Rosas as his "son." Upon learning this, the judge lifted the no-contact order.

Both men remain in custody at Harris County Jail. Obando, who has prior felony convictions, is being held on $270,000 bond, while Rosas, who also faces a drug possession charge, is detained on $100,000 bond. Obando is scheduled to appear in court again on March 3, while Rosas’ next hearing is set for March 26.

Authorities have not yet disclosed who allegedly hired Obando or the motive behind the assassination attempt. The investigation remains ongoing.

A Tennessee man who initially claimed his wife died by suicide was sentenced Tuesday after ultimately confessing to her killing in a shocking turn of events.

Donovan Holt, 33, pleaded guilty in November to reckless homicide, tampering with evidence, and false reporting in the death of his wife, April Holt, 29. He was sentenced to two years and one month in prison, followed by eight years in community corrections.

Police found April Holt unresponsive on July 31, 2023, in the bathroom of the couple’s Cane Ridge home, a suburb of Nashville. A plastic bag had been tightly taped around her neck, and she was later pronounced dead at the hospital. Initially, the Medical Examiner’s Office ruled her death a suicide by suffocation, but that ruling was later changed to homicide by strangulation following persistent efforts by the victim’s mother, Jamie Dickerson, to uncover the truth.

“I knew that April was unhappy. She requested a divorce two weeks prior, and she was dead two weeks later,” Dickerson said. She also noted that her daughter’s bruises on her wrists, neck, ankles, and thighs were initially overlooked as evidence.

The case took a dramatic turn nearly a year later in June 2024, when Donovan Holt shockingly confessed to Dickerson during a FaceTime call. He admitted to strangling April during what he claimed was a sex act and panicked afterward.

“He just goes into how he killed her, and he described how he killed her,” Dickerson said. “How he strangled her and that he didn’t know what to do.”

Authorities arrested Holt in San Antonio, Texas, on September 19, 2024. He later confessed to Metropolitan Nashville Police Department Cold Case Unit detectives.

Dickerson has since launched a GoFundMe campaign in April’s memory, raising funds for a grief center in Nashville and to support her daughter’s two young children.

While some have criticized the sentence as too lenient for the nature of the crime, the judge ruled that after serving his two-year prison term, Holt will remain under eight years of strict community supervision.

Judge STOPS Karen Read Trial – Jennifer Coffindaffer on What This Means!
What happens when a courtroom bombshell leaves a judge literally shaking? The Karen Read case just took a wild turn as Judge Beverly Cannone slammed the brakes on proceedings, citing “grave concern” over newly uncovered evidence. At the heart of the controversy? Alleged undisclosed financial ties and potential witness coaching between Read’s defense and accident reconstruction experts.

Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired FBI Special Agent, joins to break down what this means for the defense, the prosecution, and—most critically—Karen Read herself. With emails, payments, and courtroom testimony now under scrutiny, could this unravel the entire case? And if so, does that mean a total reset with a brand-new defense team?

Did Karen Read’s Defense Hide Evidence Bob Motta Explains the Witness Scandal?!
Was the defense really trying to pull a fast one, or was it just a colossal legal oopsie? Things took a wild turn in the Karen Read case when the prosecution accused the defense of playing a game of legal hide-and-seek with key witness connections—so much so that Judge Beverly Cannone had to hit the pause button mid-session. The fallout? Potentially disqualified expert witnesses, serious ethical questions, and a defense team scrambling to do damage control.

The courtroom chaos hit its peak when attorney Hank Brennan dropped a bombshell, claiming that federal authorities—not the defense—had handed over crucial documents, only to backtrack moments later. That alone sent Judge Cannone into visible distress, leaving everyone wondering: was this just a paperwork mix-up, or something far more calculated?

And then there’s Alan Jackson—seasoned, high-profile, and adamantly denying that his team ever cut a check to ARCCA, the expert firm now at the center of the controversy. But with questions swirling around the timeline of when witness prep really began and what exactly was shared behind closed doors, this case is more tangled than ever.

So, did the defense really try to bury evidence, or is this just another example of legal theatrics in an already explosive trial?

Why Did the Judge HALT Karen Read’s Hearing? Robin Dreeke Explains!
Was this a colossal screw-up or a calculated move? The Karen Read trial just took a dramatic turn, leaving even Judge Beverly Cannone visibly shaken—literally. She halted proceedings mid-session, calling the latest revelations against the defense a “grave concern.” The prosecution is now accusing Read’s defense team of witness manipulation, non-disclosure, and some seriously questionable behavior.

At the heart of the controversy? An expert witness originally presented as impartial may have actually been hired by the defense—without disclosing it. Toss in a $29,000 retainer fee, and suddenly, what was supposed to be an unbiased analysis looks a whole lot murkier.

This case was already a legal dumpster fire, with a police department facing corruption allegations and a prosecution under scrutiny. But now, the defense may have just thrown gasoline on the flames. Can they salvage their credibility, or is this trial about to implode?

Kohberger Can’t HIDE From the Jury—Robin Dreeke Explains Why!
Is there a point where a defense strategy stops being about proving innocence and starts being about throwing legal spaghetti at the wall just to see what sticks? Because that sure seems to be the case with Bryan Kohberger’s legal team. Months of motions, objections, and desperate attempts to get evidence thrown out—all denied. So now, they pivot.

With FBI Special Agent (Ret.) Robin Dreeke, we dive into the tangled mess of behavioral missteps, forensic goldmines, and a defense team that’s running out of options. From DNA that won’t lie to cell phone data that practically draws a map, the evidence is stacking up. But is there enough reasonable doubt to poke holes in the prosecution’s case? And when your best move might be keeping your client far, far away from the witness stand… you know things aren’t looking great.

So, what’s the last trick up their sleeve? And could putting Kohberger on the stand actually make things worse?

Bob Motta Breaks Down Karen Read’s Legal NIGHTMARE – What’s Next?
Was this really a hit-and-run, or is there something far more twisted beneath the surface?

Defense Attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to break down the alleged inconsistencies in the case against Karen Read—and let’s just say, things aren’t adding up. From injuries that don’t match the prosecution’s story to defense theories that might make more sense than the official narrative, this case is riddled with questions. Could John O’Keefe’s fatal wounds have been caused by something other than a vehicle? And if so, what—or who—is being protected?

Then there’s the so-called dog bites—or were they? Coyotes, undercarriage scrapes, or something even stranger? The only thing we know for sure is that this case is far from black and white. So, is this a tragic accident, or is the truth being buried?

What Happened to the Delphi Jail Letters LOST, HIDDEN, or DESTROYED?
Could the case against Richard Allen be a house of cards, stacked on lost evidence, missing letters, and some truly questionable decisions? The latest revelations in the Delphi case paint an unsettling picture—letters allegedly sent to the prosecution that never surfaced, video evidence mysteriously taped over, and a judge who doesn’t seem too eager to steer in any direction other than guilty. And let’s not forget Keegan Klein, the convicted child predator who just happened to be chatting with one of the victims the day they were murdered—pure coincidence, right?

With rumors swirling about a deeper network of corruption and potential cover-ups, the real question is: how much needs to pile up before the FBI decides to take a hard look at what’s really going on in Delphi? Or is this just another case of justice being lost in the shuffle?

Delphi COVER-UP -Jennifer Coffindaffer Breaks Down the Hidden Jail Letters!
What happens when a case gets so messy that justice itself seems like an afterthought? The Delphi murder investigation has been a tangled web of ignored evidence, questionable decisions, and now, the bombshell revelation that prosecutors may have buried a jailhouse confession from Ron Logan—the man on whose property the victims were found.

FBI Special Agent (Ret.) Jennifer Coffindaffer joins to break down the latest twists, including why alternative suspects were never seriously investigated and how critical evidence might have been conveniently misplaced. And let’s not forget the supposed polygraph failure that law enforcement clings to like a security blanket—without ever answering the simple question: Who gave it, when, and under what conditions?

With potential cover-ups, lost video interviews, and a judge who seems to have made up her mind before the case even started, the big question remains—will this ever lead to the truth, or are we watching another case spiral into complete disaster?

Did Ricci Davis FAIL the Polygraph, or Was It Rigged? New Questions in Delphi!
What if the biggest mystery in the Delphi case isn’t who did it—but why law enforcement seems so determined to ignore critical evidence? From misplaced confessions to suppressed details that could shake the foundation of the prosecution’s case, it’s looking more and more like the truth got buried alongside the evidence. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins to dissect the baffling missteps, from a jailhouse informant’s shocking claims to the conveniently overlooked probable cause against Ron Logan. Why did authorities refuse to let a willing witness wear a wire? And why was an alleged confession about a box cutter—a detail known only to investigators—simply swept aside? Is this incompetence, or something much more sinister?

'GRAVE CONCERN' – Attorney Bob Motta Breaks Down Judge’s Stunning Move in Karen Read Case!
Is the defense in the Karen Read case playing fair, or did they just get caught with their hand in the legal cookie jar? The latest twist has the prosecution accusing the defense of hiding witness connections and coaching expert testimony—claims that sent Judge Beverly Cannone into such a state of shock that she had to call a timeout. And when a seasoned judge looks like she’s just received life-altering news, you know things are messy.

Now, key expert witnesses could be on the chopping block, legal ethics are under scrutiny, and attorney Alan Jackson—despite his storied career—is suddenly facing uncomfortable questions. But is this a genuine scandal, or just a case of legal posturing taken to the extreme? And more importantly, did the defense actually try to "hide the ball," or are we watching a high-stakes game of courtroom misinterpretation?

Is There a Cover-Up in Delphi?  Former FBI Agent Robin Dreeke Reacts
What do you do when a case has more twists than a bad soap opera and more cover-ups than a cheap motel bedspread? The Delphi murders case just keeps getting murkier, and now we’ve got a jailhouse confession that was conveniently ignored, a prosecutor who might have buried key evidence, and an investigation that seems to have been on a scenic detour away from the obvious suspects. Meanwhile, the man in prison, Richard Allen, insists he's innocent, and the more details emerge, the more it looks like law enforcement had a serious case of tunnel vision—or something far worse.

Former FBI Special Agent and behavioral analysis expert Robin Dreeke breaks it all down, peeling back the layers of chaos and questionable decisions. Why did law enforcement dismiss a confession with details only the killer would know? Why was evidence ignored while authorities seemed laser-focused on a suspect whose life arc didn’t fit the crime? And most importantly—how many more skeletons are buried in this investigation before someone finally demands real accountability?

What Are Delphi Police Hiding? Retired FBI Robin Dreeke Demands the Truth!
What happens when key evidence just “disappears” in a high-profile case? Oops, we accidentally recorded over it—trust us, it wasn’t important. Sounds totally legit, right? In this episode, we dive into the ever-growing pile of “coincidences” surrounding the Delphi case and the alleged mishandling of evidence, letters, and testimony. Tony Brueski and former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke take a hard look at the alarming pattern of ignored red flags, missing documents, and suspicious rulings that have left many questioning if justice is even a consideration here. With a tangled web of local corruption, shifting narratives, and a town that seems determined to keep its secrets buried, one has to wonder—what would it take for the FBI to step in and actually hold someone accountable?

RET FBI Robin Dreeke Calls Out the Delphi Investigation—Why So Many Unanswered Questions?
Was the Delphi murder investigation flawed from the start, or are we witnessing a full-blown cover-up unravel in real time? The latest revelations in the case have set the true crime world ablaze, with accusations of investigative bias, ignored confessions, and law enforcement seemingly bending over backward to avoid the most obvious suspects. Now, Richard Allen sits behind bars, insisting he's innocent, while evidence that could have pointed elsewhere was allegedly buried.

Retired FBI Special Agent and behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke joins the discussion, breaking down the patterns—both in the suspects and in law enforcement—that just don’t add up. Why were letters detailing a jailhouse confession ignored? Why did investigators overlook key evidence tying other suspects to the scene? And most importantly, if Allen isn't responsible, who is?

Is this tunnel vision, or something far worse?

Defense’s BIGGEST Motions Just Got Thrown Out—Bob Motta Breaks It Down!
What do you do when your defense strategy gets shut down before the trial even begins? That’s exactly the predicament Bryan Kohberger’s legal team finds itself in—every major motion denied, the death penalty still on the table, and a stack of damning evidence that’s looking more solid than their case.

Defense Attorney Bob Motta joins to break down what options, if any, the defense has left. Can they poke enough holes in the state’s case to create doubt, or is this just about setting up an appeal down the road? From the DNA found on the knife sheath to the potential battle over investigative genetic genealogy (IGG), we dive deep into the legal gymnastics at play.

And what about those Amazon search histories? If the prosecution gets their hands on receipts for a K-bar knife and sheath, does that seal the deal? Or is there still a way for the defense to spin it?

Prosecutors Are DIGGING Into Kohberger’s Amazon Orders—Will They Find the Knife Sheath?
Was Bryan Kohberger just another criminology student fascinated by the criminal mind, or was he leaving a digital breadcrumb trail straight to his own doorstep? When Amazon search histories start getting contested in court, you have to wonder—what exactly was in that cart? A K-Bar knife and sheath purchase might just be the smoking gun… or in this case, the missing blade.

Tony Brueski and Defense Attorney Bob Motta break down the alleged evidence piling up against Kohberger, from digital footprints to DNA, and the shocking possibility that he may have tried to return to the crime scene to recover the sheath he reportedly left behind. Could his own overconfidence be his downfall, or is there still a legal escape hatch for the defense to pry open? And really, if you’re getting a PhD in criminology, how do you not know that buying a murder weapon on Amazon is a bad idea?

Kohberger’s DNA on the Knife Sheath—Bob Motta REVEALS the Possible Explanations!
What do you do when your defense strategy keeps getting shut down before the trial even begins? Well, that’s exactly where Bryan Kohberger’s legal team finds themselves—motions to suppress? Denied. Motions to dismiss? Denied. Death penalty off the table? Not a chance. At this point, their playbook is looking thinner than an airline napkin, and the prosecution is locking in every major piece of evidence like a well-oiled machine.

So, what’s left for the defense? With DNA evidence, phone data, and surveillance footage all admissible, how do you create doubt in the jury’s mind? Defense attorney Bob Motta joins us to break down the challenges ahead, including the legal battle over investigative genetic genealogy and the near-impossible task of explaining away a knife sheath with Kohberger’s DNA at the crime scene.

Is there any move left that could turn the tide, or is this a slow march to the inevitable?

Shocking New Kohberger Claim, Witness Recalls Seeing Him with “Vacuum-Type Object” As He Fled

Newly revealed court documents have provided fresh insight into the night of the brutal home invasion attack that left four University of Idaho students dead, as Judge Steven Hippler denied a motion from accused killer Bryan Kohberger. The ruling rejected his defense’s attempts to challenge key evidence and upheld the validity of the search warrants used in the case.

A surviving housemate, one of two roommates who were not attacked, told police that she saw an intruder walk out the back door of the Moscow, Idaho, home. She described him as a tall, lean White male with "bushy eyebrows" and noted that he was carrying a "vacuum-type object" as he left after locking eyes with her.

Although she admitted to police that her memory was “fuzzy and cloudy” and that “everything was kind of blurry,” her description of the suspect remained consistent across multiple interviews. She also recalled hearing a male voice inside the house say, "I'm here to help."

His defense team had sought a Franks hearing, a rare legal proceeding where they could argue that law enforcement misrepresented or omitted critical information in the search warrant affidavits. They focused on the surviving housemate’s credibility, claiming she was in a dreamlike state and that police unfairly paraphrased her statements. However, Judge Hippler ruled against them, stating that any issues with her account were “fodder” for cross-examination at trial but did not impact the probable cause that led to Kohberger’s arrest.

The court documents also revealed new details about the evidence seized from Kohberger’s Pullman, Washington, apartment. Investigators collected a dust container from a Bissell PowerForce vacuum, which was found in a closet near the front door, along with a black glove and receipts. The contents of the vacuum remain undisclosed.

Retired NYPD inspector Paul Mauro weighed in on the discovery, stating, "If he was exceptionally careful, and wore booties, etc., it could explain the lack of other forensics. Especially if it was a wet vac."

Criminal profiler and psychoanalyst John Kelly echoed that sentiment, saying, “He was probably trying to clean up hair and fiber.” Kelly has previously suggested that the suspect may have used his criminology background to stage the crime scene and eliminate forensic evidence.

Inside Kohberger’s apartment, police also noted the absence of shower curtains and empty trash cans. However, they did recover bedding with blood stains and hair samples. His office was also searched, but no physical evidence was collected from there.

Authorities allege that Kohberger meticulously planned the attack and may have researched other knife murders before the slayings. At the crime scene, a knife sheath was found under Madison Mogen’s body, which contained DNA allegedly matching Kohberger. However, the murder weapon has never been recovered.

Judge Hippler dismissed all of Kohberger’s motions to suppress evidence, including an argument that law enforcement improperly withheld information about investigative genetic genealogy (IGG) techniques used to identify him. The judge ruled that such details would have only strengthened the probable cause for search warrants, not weakened it.

With the judge’s decision standing, Kohberger’s trial remains set for August. If convicted, he faces the death penalty.

Diddy’s Lawyer Quits as Rap Mogul Faces Federal Charges

Sean “Diddy” Combs is losing part of his legal defense team as he battles federal charges, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Anthony Ricco, one of the attorneys representing the embattled hip-hop mogul, has officially withdrawn from the case, citing an inability to continue serving as counsel.

In a motion filed in New York Federal Court, Ricco made it clear that his departure was necessary, stating, "Under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs." He added that his decision was made after discussions with lead attorney Marc Agnifilo. However, Ricco declined to provide specific details supporting his withdrawal.

Despite stepping away, Ricco assured the court that his departure would not affect the scheduled trial, which remains set for May 5.

Combs, who remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, was arrested in September on serious federal charges. The allegations against him include racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty and has denied all accusations.

His remaining legal team, led by Agnifilo and Teny Geragos, has been vocal in its defense, calling the charges against Combs baseless. "As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus," his attorneys previously stated.

They further emphasized that their client "emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors." His defense team has vowed to prove his innocence in court.

Beyond Ricco’s withdrawal, Combs’ legal battle has taken another controversial turn, with his lawyers accusing prosecutors of racial bias. His attorneys have filed a motion challenging the use of the Mann Act, a federal law originally enacted in 1910 that prohibits transporting individuals across state lines for illegal sexual activities.

His legal team argues that this law has historically been used to target Black men while similar actions by white individuals go unpunished. "No white person has ever been the target of a remotely similar prosecution," Combs’ attorneys claimed in the court filing.

They further stated that the law has been wielded in a discriminatory manner, citing past cases against prominent Black figures like boxer Jack Johnson and rock-and-roll legend Chuck Berry. "Combs has been singled out because he is a powerful Black man, and he is being prosecuted for conduct that regularly goes unpunished," the filing asserts.

As more alleged victims have come forward in civil cases, Combs continues to fight mounting legal battles. His once-iconic status in the music industry has been overshadowed by a wave of accusations and lawsuits.

For now, the trial is moving forward as scheduled, but with one less attorney on Combs’ defense team. Whether his remaining lawyers can successfully challenge the charges or prove bias in the prosecution remains to be seen.

The shocking murders of four University of Idaho students left the country searching for answers. But behind the scenes, investigators faced an unexpected roadblock—DNA evidence that led them to the wrong suspects… or so they thought. In this deep dive, we uncover the “Four Brothers” lead, the family connection that could have solved this case weeks earlier if only one person had said yes to a DNA test. So what happened? And how did the FBI step in to change everything?
In this episode, we break down the never-before-heard details of how Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG) played a pivotal role in the arrest of Bryan Kohberger. From the knife sheath DNA that started it all, to the family tree that left investigators stranded, to the moment the FBI took over and found the missing piece, this is the real story behind the DNA trail that almost went cold.

Join us as we expose the critical mistakes, surprising refusals, and groundbreaking forensic work that led to an arrest. If you’ve followed the Idaho Murders case, you don’t want to miss this exclusive inside look at how law enforcement nearly lost their suspect—and how a single DNA match sealed his fate.

Did Tony Buzbee just get banned from practicing law in New York? If you’ve been following the headlines, you might think the high-profile Texas attorney just lost his legal career overnight. But as with most viral controversies, the truth is a lot more complicated—and far less dramatic.
In this episode, we dive deep into the real story behind Tony Buzbee’s so-called “ban” from practicing law in New York and break down how a routine procedural issue in federal court turned into a media firestorm. Here’s what actually happened: Buzbee, known for taking on major lawsuits against celebrities like Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jay-Z, had been filing cases in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) without first being admitted to that specific federal court. And when the SDNY Grievance Committee caught wind of it, they didn’t just let it slide—they denied his application for admission, effectively barring him from handling cases there without special permission.

But here’s the crucial detail that most of the internet got wrong—this has nothing to do with his New York state law license. Buzbee is still fully licensed to practice law in New York state courts. In fact, official court records confirm that he has been in good standing with the New York bar since 2019, with no suspensions, no disbarments, and no disciplinary actions against him.

So why did the story explode the way it did? Why did headlines claim that Buzbee was barred from practicing in New York when, in reality, this was just a federal court admission issue? We break down the difference between federal and state court licensing, how a technical violation turned into a full-blown controversy, and why public perception doesn’t always match reality.

Plus, we look at the timing of it all—why did Buzbee’s admission status suddenly become an issue right as he was filing lawsuits against some of the most powerful names in the entertainment industry? Was this just bad luck, or was there more to it?

If you’ve seen the headlines about Tony Buzbee being banned from practicing law in New York, you need to hear this episode. We separate fact from fiction, clear up the misinformation, and explain exactly what happens next.

The Menendez brothers' release has become a hot topic in recent years as new evidence and shifting public opinion have reignited interest in their case. Convicted in 1996 for the brutal murder of their parents, Lyle and Erik Menendez were sentenced to life without parole, with prosecutors arguing they killed for financial gain. However, their defense claimed the killings were driven by years of sexual and emotional abuse at the hands of their father, José Menendez. With the discovery of a 1988 letter from Erik describing the abuse and new testimony from a former Menudo band member alleging similar assaults by José Menendez, supporters believe the brothers deserve a new trial or resentencing.
In 2023, former Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón took the unprecedented step of reviewing the case, acknowledging evolving legal perspectives on trauma and abuse. His office proposed resentencing the Menendez brothers, which could make them immediately eligible for parole. The case gained even more momentum through Netflix documentaries and viral TikTok campaigns, reframing the brothers as victims of lifelong abuse rather than privileged killers. However, in February 2025, newly elected DA Nathan Hochman shut down their request for a new trial, arguing that the new evidence was either inadmissible or irrelevant to their state of mind at the time of the crime.

With their new trial denied, the Menendez brothers’ last hope for release may come through resentencing or clemency from California Governor Gavin Newsom. If the resentencing effort succeeds, the brothers could face a parole board after more than 30 years behind bars, marking a significant legal shift in their decades-long battle for freedom. As their March 2025 court hearing approaches, the fight for their release remains one of the most controversial true-crime cases in modern history.

Justice for Gabby: Parents Turn Tragedy into a Mission After Uncovering Troubling Messages

What began as a dream adventure for Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie ended in tragedy, sparking a nationwide movement against domestic violence. Almost four years after her murder, Petito’s parents continue to uncover new insights into her relationship with Laundrie, revealing chilling warning signs.

Gabby Petito, a young woman from Blue Point, New York, set off on a road trip with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, in 2021. With aspirations of becoming a travel influencer, she documented their journey through social media. However, behind the carefully curated images and videos, her relationship with Laundrie was deteriorating.

The couple’s travels took a dark turn in Moab, Utah, when a witness called police after seeing a man striking a woman. Bodycam footage from the encounter showed a distressed Petito, while police ultimately determined she was the aggressor. Officers separated the couple for the night, but no arrests were made, and they continued their trip.

On August 27, Petito’s mother, Nichole Schmidt, received an unusual text from Gabby’s phone: “Can you help Stan? I keep getting his voicemails and missed calls.” Gabby never referred to her grandfather by his first name, raising red flags. Another text mentioned they were heading to Yosemite instead of Yellowstone, adding to the family's concerns.

Days later, Laundrie returned alone to his parents' home in North Port, Florida, driving Petito’s van. Her family reported her missing on September 11, launching a nationwide search. On September 19, investigators discovered her body in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. An autopsy later confirmed she died from strangulation.

“They said we found remains consistent with your daughter,” Gabby’s stepfather, Jim Schmidt, recalled in an interview with ABC’s 20/20. “I remember I was crying, and I said you have to be sure.”

Laundrie quickly became the sole person of interest but refused to speak with police. Shortly after, his parents reported him missing. Following an intense 37-day manhunt, his remains were found in a Florida nature reserve. Authorities determined he had died by suicide, and a notebook recovered from the scene contained his confession to Petito’s killing.

Recently, Petito’s parents revealed previously unseen text messages and letters they discovered on her phone after her death. In one message, Gabby pleaded with Laundrie: “Don’t try to control me because it only makes me mad. I love you so much, but it’s the way you speak to me that hurts me the most.” A letter she wrote to him read, “Brian, you know how much I love you. Just please stop crying and stop calling me names. You in pain is killing me.”

These discoveries paint a clearer picture of the emotional turmoil she endured.

"I liked Brian," Nichole Schmidt admitted in a recent interview. "He was very soft-spoken. He would sit and do art with the girls… He got along with her brother, TJ, and he just seemed like a nice person."

The couple’s relationship intensified when they moved to Florida to live with Laundrie’s parents. They got engaged in 2020, but Gabby’s family only learned about it through Facebook. “I’m an old-school person,” her father, Joe Petito, said. “You go up to the father… ask them for their hand in marriage. That didn’t happen.”

With their wedding plans delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, they decided to embark on their van-life adventure instead. What started as an exciting journey ended in a devastating tragedy that shook the nation.

In the aftermath of their loss, Petito’s family channeled their grief into advocacy, founding the Gabby Petito Foundation. The organization works to combat domestic violence and support the search for missing persons.

“She made a difference,” Joe Petito said. “People saw a beautiful soul, and she had an impact that changed the lives of a lot of people and the world. There's no more amazing legacy that you could have."

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, help is available. Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or text START to 88788.

Hochman Rejects New Trial for Menendez Brothers, Citing ‘Lies and Deception’

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman has formally opposed granting Erik and Lyle Menendez a new trial for the 1989 killings of their parents, dismissing their latest appeal as another attempt to rewrite history. Citing what he called a pattern of “lies and deception,” Hochman said the brothers’ ever-changing narratives undermine their claims of self-defense.

“Erik and Lyle Menendez had told five different versions of what happened,” Hochman stated, pointing to past inconsistencies, including the brothers’ initial suggestions that their parents were killed in a mafia hit and their solicitation of a friend to falsely claim she had been raped by their father, Jose Menendez.

The Menendez brothers have spent over three decades behind bars for the murders of Jose and Kitty Menendez in their Beverly Hills mansion. Prosecutors successfully argued in their second trial that they killed their parents out of greed, aiming to inherit their family’s multimillion-dollar fortune. The brothers, however, have long maintained they acted in self-defense after years of sexual and emotional abuse at the hands of their father.

Their latest bid for a new trial hinges on what they claim is fresh evidence supporting their abuse allegations. This includes a 1988 letter written by Erik Menendez to his cousin, in which he detailed ongoing abuse, and accusations from former Menudo band member Roy Rosselló, who has publicly stated that Jose Menendez raped him when he was a teenager.

Despite this, Hochman said the sexual abuse allegations do not change the core issue of the case—murder. He cited statements from a defense attorney during the brothers’ original trials, who acknowledged that sexual abuse alone was not a justification for killing.

“For self-defense to apply, they needed to have an imminent fear that their parents would kill them,” Hochman argued, reinforcing his position that the murders were premeditated rather than reactive.

Legal analysts say that while a new trial is unlikely, the possibility of resentencing based on rehabilitation remains open. Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor, noted that Hochman’s emphasis on the brothers’ deception suggests he will likely oppose any effort at leniency.

“But given that Hochman talked at length about the Menendez brothers’ lies, I think this is less likely,” Rahmani said. “Although Hochman said he has not made a decision on resentencing, reading the tea leaves, I’m guessing he will oppose.”

The Menendez case continues to capture public attention, decades after it first made headlines. Renewed interest surged following Netflix’s true crime documentary series, which highlighted the abuse allegations and led to calls for a reassessment of their sentences.

However, Hochman’s stance signals that he will not be swayed by public sentiment. Criminal defense attorney Louis Shapiro said the district attorney’s statement was a clear message.

“He is saying they follow the law pure and simple,” Shapiro said. “His demeanor and tone tells you he is not sympathetic to the Menendez brothers’ cause.”

Supporters of the Menendez brothers, including relatives, expressed their frustration with Hochman’s position. The Justice for Erik and Lyle Coalition, an advocacy group pushing for their release, strongly criticized his remarks.

“Abuse does not exist in a vacuum,” the group said in a statement. “To say it played no role in Erik and Lyle’s action is to ignore decades of psychological research and basic human understanding.”

Family members who support the brothers’ release were also vocal in their disappointment.

“We are profoundly disappointed by [Hochman’s] remarks, in which he effectively tore up new evidence and discredited the trauma they experienced,” they said in a joint statement.

As the debate continues, the next key decision will be whether the Menendez brothers could receive a new sentence. California Governor Gavin Newsom has said he will not weigh in on clemency until after Hochman makes a final decision on resentencing.

With Hochman set to review the case in the coming weeks, the brothers’ fate remains uncertain.

The Flora Fire remains one of the most disturbing and unsolved arson cases in Indiana, yet it has never received the same attention as the Delphi Murders—even though it happened just months earlier in the same county. In 2016, a fire tore through a home in Flora, Indiana, killing four young sisters—Keyana, Keyara, Kerrielle, and Kionnie. Initially ruled an accident, the case took a shocking turn when officials reversed their findings, declaring it arson. But missteps in the investigation, key officials abruptly resigning, and a lack of transparency from law enforcement have fueled suspicions of a cover-up. Why has no one been arrested for this horrific crime? And why does it seem like the case was quietly pushed aside while Delphi dominated headlines?
For nearly seven years, the burned remains of the home stood as a haunting reminder of this unsolved crime, before finally being demolished in 2023. The investigation has been riddled with inconsistencies, from the changing story about the presence of accelerants to crucial evidence reportedly going missing. Despite law enforcement’s claims that the case remains “active,” there have been no public updates, no suspects, and no arrests. Meanwhile, family members continue to fight for answers, holding annual memorials and keeping the pressure on investigators to deliver justice for the Flora Four.

So why does the Flora Fire remain unsolved, and could it still be solved today? With advancements in forensic fire investigations, the possibility of a new witness coming forward, or even a guilty conscience breaking under pressure, there is still hope for justice. But as the years pass, many are left wondering—was this case mishandled from the start, or was there a deliberate effort to bury the truth? Join us as we take a deep dive into the evidence, the unanswered questions, and the fight to make sure Flora is never forgotten.

On the night of February 24, 2019, a boating trip turned deadly when a boat owned by Alex Murdaugh—a powerful South Carolina attorney—crashed into a bridge, throwing 19-year-old Mallory Beach into the dark waters of Archer’s Creek. What seemed like a tragic accident soon unraveled into something much darker: a web of privilege, power, and an alleged cover-up designed to protect the Murdaugh family name. With Paul Murdaugh at the helm, intoxicated, reckless, and shielded by generations of influence, questions arose about who would be held accountable—and who would walk free.

Could the boat crash have been the catalyst that brought down the Murdaugh dynasty?

Join us as we piece together the full timeline of events, the legal battles that ensued, and the shocking twists that followed. With exclusive details, witness testimonies, and investigative findings, this is the definitive breakdown of the Murdaugh boat crash case. How did one night of reckless decision-making expose an empire of corruption? And what does justice really look like for Mallory Beach and her family? Listen now to find out.

In a stunning development, newly unsealed court transcripts reveal how FBI investigators used Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG) to identify Bryan Kohberger as a suspect in the Idaho murders. This previously hidden evidence exposes the controversial DNA search that led law enforcement to his doorstep, raising major questions about privacy, forensic reliability, and the legal boundaries of genetic databases. Was this an airtight forensic case, or could this new DNA strategy set a dangerous precedent?
With the trial approaching, Kohberger’s defense team has dramatically shifted strategies, bringing in renowned DNA expert Bicka Barlow to challenge the prosecution’s key evidence. Barlow, a geneticist-turned-attorney, has made a career out of dismantling forensic DNA methods in court, and her presence signals that the defense is betting everything on undermining the science itself. Will the jury be swayed by the prosecution’s DNA evidence, or will the defense create enough doubt to shake the foundation of the case?

This episode breaks down the biggest legal and forensic battles ahead, including the judge’s critical rulings, Kohberger’s alleged suspicious behavior before his arrest, and the high-stakes implications of this case. As the prosecution prepares for a trial that could last 15 weeks and potentially lead to the death penalty, the fight over forensic DNA isn’t just about this one case—it could change how genetic evidence is used in criminal trials forever.

Michigan Doctor and Wife Accused of Locking 10-Year-Old in Closet for Months

An Upper Peninsula doctor and his wife are facing child abuse charges after allegedly forcing their 10-year-old son with special needs to sleep in a locked closet for months, authorities said.

Dr. Colin Irish, 57, and Carrie Irish, 49, of Marquette Township were arrested and charged with second-degree child abuse this week. Law enforcement officials allege the couple locked their son inside a modified closet for hours a day, deprived him of bedding, and forced him to clean up his own waste.

The alleged abuse came to light after a school reported concerns to Child Protective Services, which then contacted the Marquette County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff Greg Zyburt confirmed that all three minor children in the home were removed the same day, and the 10-year-old was taken to a hospital to be checked for possible frostbite before being placed with a foster family.

Investigators say the closet had been modified with plastic sheet panels and linoleum flooring and was locked from the outside. There were no heating vents or windows, and the child was allegedly forced to sleep on the floor in only underwear, with no mattress, pillow, or blanket.

“The child defecated and urinated in the closet multiple times and then was forced to clean it up,” said Detective Lt. Jason Hart, noting that a strong odor of cleaning solution was present when authorities inspected the area.

Authorities did not disclose details about the child’s specific special needs or the ages of the other two children but confirmed they were minors and male. Officials do not believe the other children were subjected to similar treatment.

Colin and Carrie Irish were arrested and arraigned Tuesday, each facing a charge of second-degree child abuse. They posted bond and are scheduled for a probable cause hearing next week. As part of their release, they are prohibited from contacting their three children.

Attempts to reach the couple for comment were unsuccessful. When contacted, their attorney’s office declined to comment.

Authorities are continuing to investigate the case, with the possibility of additional charges.

“No stone will remain unturned,” Hart said, calling it a “quite alarming” case.

Sheriff Zyburt noted that child abuse cases are always tragic but said this case stood out due to the defendants’ backgrounds.

“A doctor takes an oath to help people,” he said.

Dr. Colin Irish, an osteopathic doctor, had previously run a family medicine practice in Marquette. While his website appeared to be down, archived images reportedly showed him and his wife smiling with children, including a picture of them in a kiddie pool and another of him with a child in kitchen aprons.

If convicted, the couple could face up to 10 years in prison.

This case follows multiple child abuse cases in Michigan, including a Pontiac mother charged with first-degree child abuse for allegedly abandoning her three children to live in squalor for four years.

Kevin Franke Speaks Out on Ex-Wife Ruby Franke’s Crimes: ‘I Have Regrets’

Kevin Franke, the estranged husband of disgraced parenting influencer Ruby Franke, is breaking his silence following her conviction for child abuse. In a new interview, he admitted that he trusted his wife and her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, despite mounting concerns about their extreme parenting methods.

“The bottom line is: I was choosing to trust a licensed professional mental health counselor and my wife, and they gave some terrible counsel,” Franke told Good Morning America. “And I have regrets. And I wish I hadn’t done those things.”

Ruby Franke, 43, was once a celebrated mommy blogger with over 2.5 million subscribers on her YouTube channel, 8Passengers. Alongside Hildebrandt, she later founded ConneXions Classrooms, a parenting and lifestyle brand that offered paid counseling sessions and retreats. What was once a lucrative online business ultimately unraveled into a criminal case when authorities discovered two of Franke’s children malnourished and restrained in Hildebrandt’s home.

The case shocked audiences familiar with Franke’s strict parenting style, which had already raised red flags. In one of her earlier 8Passengers videos, her eldest son Chad casually revealed that he had been forced to sleep on a beanbag for seven months as punishment. After losing sponsors and facing backlash, Franke shifted to working with Hildebrandt, who encouraged even harsher parenting methods.

In one resurfaced video from ConneXions Classrooms, Franke told parents, “If your child comes to you on fire, you don’t pat them on the head and say, ‘It’s OK, I’ll help you.’ No, you beat them, and you kick them, and you hit them with a rod.”

Kevin Franke, a professor and father of six, said he was unaware of the extent of the abuse but now acknowledges that his wife’s actions were dangerous. He last saw his children more than a year before Ruby’s arrest in August 2023. The abuse allegations surfaced when Franke’s 12-year-old son escaped from Hildebrandt’s $5.3 million home in Ivins, Utah. The child, severely malnourished and bound with duct tape, ran to a neighbor for help, prompting an immediate police response.

Authorities discovered another one of Franke’s children, a 9-year-old girl, in similarly horrific condition. The case revealed years of disturbing practices, with Franke’s eldest daughter, Shari, previously attempting to alert child services about the abuse. Both Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse and were sentenced to a minimum of 30 years in prison.

Despite the horror of the case, Kevin Franke admitted that his feelings for Ruby are complicated. “I don’t think I’ll ever stop loving her,” he said. “Does that mean that I want to let her back into my life? Let her back into my kids’ lives? Absolutely not.”

Kevin and his son Chad are now speaking out ahead of the release of Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke, a new documentary detailing Ruby’s rise and fall. The documentary includes never-before-seen clips of Franke’s aggressive outbursts, painting a stark contrast to the polished image she portrayed online.

Reflecting on the dangers of social media, Kevin Franke is now urging parents to reconsider exposing their families to the public eye. “There is real danger when you place yourself, or your family, your children, out onto public social media,” he warned.

The case has ignited broader discussions about parenting influencers, the ethics of monetizing family life, and the potential dangers of unregulated online advice. While Franke and Hildebrandt marketed their content as guidance for struggling parents, their convictions highlight the dark side of influencer culture, where financial incentives can overshadow child welfare.

Karen Read and her attorneys appeared in court Tuesday for a hearing that could have major implications for her defense. The session followed a dramatic pause last week when Judge Beverly Cannone abruptly ended proceedings after expressing “grave concern” over new details presented by Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan.

Brennan had introduced documents and a $24,000 invoice, arguing that Read’s attorneys engaged experts from ARCCA, an accident reconstruction firm, despite previously telling the court they had not met with these witnesses. The ARCCA experts are crucial to the defense’s claim that Read did not strike her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, with her SUV and leave him to die in a snowstorm on January 29, 2022. Read’s attorneys contend she was framed and that law enforcement was involved in O’Keefe’s death.

When the hearing resumed, Judge Cannone noted inconsistencies between Brennan’s claims and her recollection but also questioned why defense attorney Alan Jackson had told her in February that there was no additional discovery related to the ARCCA witnesses.

Defense attorney Robert Alessi pushed back, arguing that any inconsistencies were due to miscommunications rather than intentional deception. “I don’t think it’s the defense that’s creating ghosts, allusions, and shields here,” he said, throwing Brennan’s own words back at him. He also pointed out what he called multiple misstatements from Brennan, arguing that the prosecution had not been entirely transparent either.

Brennan countered that the ARCCA witnesses were falsely presented as independent. “We know that we are getting a fraction of the story,” he said, suggesting that missing records indicate additional undisclosed communication between the defense and these witnesses.

Outside the courthouse, Read was asked whether she feared losing members of her defense team. “Of course, I’d be worried to lose any member of my defense team,” she said. When asked what that would mean, she added, “It would mean an appeal.”

RAW COURT AUDIO: Karen Read’s Legal Battle Intensifies as Courtroom Tensions Rise
PART 3
Karen Read and her attorneys appeared in court Tuesday for a hearing that could have major implications for her defense. The session followed a dramatic pause last week when Judge Beverly Cannone abruptly ended proceedings after expressing “grave concern” over new details presented by Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan.

Brennan had introduced documents and a $24,000 invoice, arguing that Read’s attorneys engaged experts from ARCCA, an accident reconstruction firm, despite previously telling the court they had not met with these witnesses. The ARCCA experts are crucial to the defense’s claim that Read did not strike her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, with her SUV and leave him to die in a snowstorm on January 29, 2022. Read’s attorneys contend she was framed and that law enforcement was involved in O’Keefe’s death.

When the hearing resumed, Judge Cannone noted inconsistencies between Brennan’s claims and her recollection but also questioned why defense attorney Alan Jackson had told her in February that there was no additional discovery related to the ARCCA witnesses.

Defense attorney Robert Alessi pushed back, arguing that any inconsistencies were due to miscommunications rather than intentional deception. “I don’t think it’s the defense that’s creating ghosts, allusions, and shields here,” he said, throwing Brennan’s own words back at him. He also pointed out what he called multiple misstatements from Brennan, arguing that the prosecution had not been entirely transparent either.

Brennan countered that the ARCCA witnesses were falsely presented as independent. “We know that we are getting a fraction of the story,” he said, suggesting that missing records indicate additional undisclosed communication between the defense and these witnesses.

Bryan Kohbergers New Defense; Autism Spectrum Disorder
Bryan Kohberger’s legal team is fighting an uphill battle, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. In this gripping episode, we break down the latest developments in the Idaho college murders case, where prosecutors are pushing to limit his alibi defense and block any psychiatric evidence related to autism spectrum disorder. Kohberger’s attorneys claim he was stargazing alone the night of the murders, but with no supporting witnesses or evidence, prosecutors want the judge to shut that argument down before it ever reaches a jury. Meanwhile, the defense has filed a motion to strike the death penalty, raising new questions about how Kohberger’s alleged neurological condition could impact the trial.
Could an autism diagnosis spare him from execution, or will the prosecution successfully argue that his planning and actions show full criminal intent? We dive into past cases where autism and neurodevelopmental disorders have been used as mitigating factors, analyzing whether this strategy has any real chance of working. Plus, we examine Kohberger’s social history, reported personality traits, and courtroom demeanor, looking at how these elements may be used to build his defense—or backfire entirely.

As the August trial approaches, the courtroom battles are getting more intense. Will Kohberger take the stand to defend himself, or will his alibi be thrown out? What does this mean for the future of the case, and could this trial set a precedent for how autism is treated in capital punishment cases? Stay tuned as we break it all down with expert analysis, legal insights, and the latest updates on one of the most high-profile murder trials of the decade.

Shocking Courtroom Twist – Will Karen Read’s Lead Attorney Be REMOVED
The Karen Read case has taken yet another shocking turn, and this time, it’s not just about the evidence—it’s about her defense team itself. In a dramatic courtroom moment, Judge Beverly Cannone expressed "grave concern" over new allegations that Read’s attorneys failed to disclose a $23,000 payment to their expert witnesses and may have scripted their testimony. With a retrial just weeks away, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Could this latest legal challenge derail Read’s defense before the case even makes it back to a jury?
In today’s episode, we break down the explosive February 25 hearing that left the future of Read’s legal team in doubt. Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan accuses the defense of misconduct, while Read’s attorneys argue this is nothing more than a paperwork mix-up being twisted into something bigger. The judge has delayed her ruling until March 4, leaving the defense in limbo. If sanctions are imposed—or worse, if lead attorney Alan Jackson is removed—the retrial could be pushed back for months or even reshaped entirely.

Where does this case go from here? Will the judge take action against the defense, or will Read’s team recover in time for her trial? And what does the FBI’s decision NOT to file charges against law enforcement in this case mean for the defense’s claim that Read was framed? We dive deep into the courtroom drama, the legal strategies at play, and what this means for the future of Karen Read’s case. Don’t miss this crucial update on one of the most contentious trials in recent history.

Alex Murdaugh’s appeal is shaping up to be just as explosive as his trial, and we’re diving deep into the legal battle that could change everything. With claims of jury tampering, courtroom misconduct, and the media’s overwhelming influence, this case isn’t just about guilt or innocence anymore—it’s about whether the justice system itself was compromised. In this episode, we break down the strongest arguments in Murdaugh’s appeal, the shocking allegations against court clerk Becky Hill, and what the South Carolina Supreme Court’s ruling could mean for one of the most infamous murder cases in modern history.
Did Becky Hill’s alleged private conversations with jurors impact the verdict? Could the overwhelming media coverage have tainted the jury pool beyond repair? And if the Supreme Court grants a new trial, how could prosecutors and Murdaugh’s defense team approach the case differently the second time around? We explore the high-stakes legal chess match playing out behind the scenes and the broader implications for the criminal justice system.

From Netflix documentaries to social media-fueled speculation, the Murdaugh case has played out in front of millions. But beneath the headlines and viral clips lies a deeper story—one about power, corruption, and the fine line between justice and spectacle. Join us as we unpack the latest developments in the Murdaugh appeal, what the legal experts are saying, and how this case could set a precedent for high-profile trials in the digital age.

Kevin Franke Seems To Think The 'Internet' Is The Main Thing To Blame For His Wife's Behavior
What kind of person looks at their own children suffering and blames… YouTube? Kevin Franke seems to think the real villain here is family vlogging, not the alleged abuse that unfolded right under his nose. Sure, exploiting kids for clicks is bad, but is it really the root of the problem, or just a convenient scapegoat? Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dive into the tangled mess of belief systems, cult-like influences, and straight-up denial that kept Franke blind to what was happening in his own home. As he now seeks custody of his children—and still professes love for Ruby Franke—can he truly separate himself from the toxic dynamics that led to this nightmare? Or is he just one bad influence away from repeating history?

Karen Read’s Defense Under Fire The $23,000 Invoice and a Judge’s “Grave Concern”
Judge Beverly Cannone’s abrupt decision to halt a motions hearing on February 18 wasn’t just a procedural hiccup—it was a red flag. Whatever information had landed on her desk that day was serious enough to stop the proceedings cold. By the time she returned to the bench on February 25, she wasted no time getting to the point: she had learned of a previously undisclosed relationship between Karen Read’s defense attorneys and expert witnesses from her first trial. And she was, in her words, “gravely concerned.”

Read, accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, by allegedly striking him with her SUV and leaving him to die in the snow, was granted a mistrial when the jury couldn’t reach a unanimous verdict. Her defense maintains that she is innocent, the target of a massive cover-up involving law enforcement, and now, they find themselves battling a new set of accusations—ones that have nothing to do with what happened on that winter night but everything to do with how they presented their case in court.

At the heart of the latest legal battle are two accident reconstruction experts, initially hired by federal investigators, who later testified for Read’s defense. Back during the trial, her attorneys, Alan Jackson and David Yanetti, assured Judge Cannone that they had no direct contact with these experts before their testimony. But on February 18, Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan called that claim into question, dropping documents that told a different story—emails, messages, and, perhaps most damning, a $23,000 invoice.

That invoice, dated July 12—one month after Read’s trial ended in a mistrial—billed Read’s team for services provided by the very experts they had allegedly never spoken with. Brennan framed this as a problem, not because the experts were paid, but because the communication surrounding them was, at best, incomplete and, at worst, misleading.

Robert Alessi, the latest addition to Read’s defense team, took the lead in addressing the court, explaining that all communication with the experts was handled through Jackson and was strictly about coordinating testimony. He insisted that the reports these experts provided were written long before the trial and remained unchanged—meaning their conclusions were not shaped by the defense.

Then came the explanation for the invoice. Alessi didn’t downplay the surprise factor. “It came out of the blue! It came out of the blue!” he exclaimed, describing how the bill landed in Jackson’s office post-mistrial, leaving everyone stunned. He maintained that before making the payment, Jackson checked with the U.S. Attorney’s Office to confirm everything was above board. That revelation was news to Brennan, who responded, “It wasn’t until your honor asked today that we even knew the defense paid this bill.”

After Alessi laid out the defense’s position, Judge Cannone turned to Jackson, Yanetti, and Read’s other attorney, Elizabeth Little, asking each of them directly whether they disputed his account. They didn’t.

But Brennan wasn’t satisfied. He accused Read’s defense team of routinely playing fast and loose with court rules. He dismissed the issues they were calling minor, likening them to “a raindrop in a hurricane” of procedural violations. He insisted that he wasn’t trying to block the expert witnesses from testifying in Read’s second trial—he just wanted access to the full discovery materials he was legally entitled to. He also took issue with what he called the “murky” nature of the defense’s interactions with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, arguing that the gaps in communication raised more questions than answers.

By the time Judge Cannone adjourned for the day, there was no resolution—just more uncertainty. The hearing is set to continue on March 4, with the possibility of stretching beyond that.

The Gilgo Beach Trial: One Case or Five Separate Trials?

The suspected Gilgo Beach serial killer, Rex Heuermann, was back in a Suffolk County courtroom, and the debate over how his case should be tried took center stage. Prosecutors laid out their argument: all seven alleged murders should be handled in one trial. The defense? They want five separate trials. And if that wasn’t enough legal wrangling, the battle over DNA evidence is just getting started.

Prosecutors dropped a new piece of Heuermann’s past into the mix—he spent about four summers in the 1980s working at Jones Beach. It’s a detail that, on its own, might not seem like much, but when you consider that the remains of six of his alleged victims were found in that same area, it becomes a lot more relevant. DA Ray Tierney didn’t mince words, calling Heuermann a “serial killer who meticulously and methodically hunted down and murdered seven women.”

Heuermann’s defense, led by attorney Michael Brown, has been working overtime to break the prosecution’s case apart. Their latest move? Push for separate trials, presumably in an effort to dilute the impact of the evidence. The argument here is likely that trying all seven cases together could unfairly prejudice a jury. But prosecutors aren’t budging—they want one trial, one jury, one verdict.

And then there’s the DNA evidence. It’s a major factor in this case, with forensic testing linking hairs found on the victims to Heuermann. But here’s the catch—the testing method used by the California lab has never been introduced in a New York courtroom before. That means the defense is arguing that the science is untested, unreliable, maybe even inadmissible. Tierney, however, is confident it will hold up. “This is sound science. It is the future of DNA analysis,” he said. “If the defense wants to call it magic, that’s fine.” In other words, the DA isn’t worried.

For now, Heuermann remains behind bars, awaiting his trial. His attorney says he’s being patient, aware of how crucial these pre-trial hearings are. The defense isn’t in a rush, and neither, it seems, is the court. A hearing to determine whether the DNA evidence can be used is set for March 12, which means the trial itself still doesn’t have a start date. Considering Heuermann was arrested in the summer of 2023, the wait continues.

What did get decided? The trial will take place in Suffolk County. The defense, at least, seems satisfied with that outcome, believing that a jury from the local community is the best option for their client. Brown made it clear: “The residents of Suffolk County, who are familiar with what goes on in Suffolk County, we are looking forward to having them sit in that courtroom.”

So, while one piece of the puzzle is in place, the bigger question remains: Will the prosecution get their single trial, or will the defense succeed in breaking it up into five? And will that crucial DNA evidence make it in? Those answers are still on hold, and for now, Heuermann waits.

RAW COURT AUDIO: DONNA ADELSON HEARING PART 4
Donna Adelson, the Florida woman accused of orchestrating the murder-for-hire plot against her former son-in-law, Dan Markel, claims she and her husband, Harvey Adelson, intended to travel to Vietnam to “catch their breath” before turning themselves in, not to escape justice.

Adelson, 75, made the stunning revelation during a court appearance in Leon County, where she sought her release from jail. Dressed in a purple jumpsuit and shackled, she testified that her husband suggested the trip to Vietnam—where they had previously vacationed—after their son, Dr. Charlie Adelson, was convicted for hiring hitmen to kill Markel in 2014.

“I wasn’t afraid of being arrested,” Adelson stated in court, according to CourtTV. “My husband and I—literally shocked and traumatized at what had happened to Charlie—he said, ‘We need to just get some peace, we need to catch our breath, we’re gonna go away somewhere.’”

In November 2023, authorities arrested the couple at Miami International Airport as they prepared to board a flight to Vietnam via Dubai. Both Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates lack extradition agreements with the United States. Law enforcement officials viewed the move as an attempt to flee prosecution.

Despite the circumstances, Adelson maintained they had every intention of returning to the U.S. voluntarily. “If we go to a non-extradition country, then if law enforcement decided that they wanted to arrest you or me, we won’t be sitting in a foreign prison waiting months to go back,” she recalled her husband saying.

She insisted they understood what their trip might look like to authorities but believed traveling to Vietnam would provide them with a chance to clear their heads before turning themselves in.

“I thought it was a good idea because I just couldn’t think straight,” Adelson told the court.

The case stems from the 2014 murder of Markel, a Florida State University law professor who was embroiled in a bitter custody dispute with his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson, Donna’s daughter. Wendi had wanted to move with their two children from Tallahassee to South Florida, a request Markel had fought in court.

Prosecutors allege that Donna and her son Charlie conspired to have Markel killed to resolve the family’s custody battle. The case remained unsolved for years until law enforcement arrested Charlie Adelson in April 2022.

In November 2023, a jury convicted him of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation. Prosecutors proved he had hired gang members Sigfredo Garcia and Luis Rivera to carry out the hit. Garcia, the triggerman, is serving a life sentence, while Rivera, who cooperated with authorities, received a 19-year sentence.

Garcia’s ex-wife, Katherine Magbanua, who had been dating Charlie Adelson at the time, was also convicted and sentenced to life in prison for her role in arranging the murder.

Charlie Adelson’s conviction appeared to trigger his parents’ attempt to leave the country just two weeks later.

“I wanted to get away, he wanted to get away. That’s what we wanted to do,” Donna Adelson said of her husband.

She testified that she had consulted with her lawyers before the trip and was assured that there were no active warrants or charges against them. “I thought if you asked your attorneys and they tell you that, I’m going,” she said.

Despite allegedly being warned they could be stopped at the airport, the couple proceeded with their travel plans—only to be intercepted by authorities before boarding their flight.

With her son convicted and her own trial ahead, Adelson continues to fight the charges, maintaining that her travel plans were not an attempt to flee justice but rather a desperate attempt to process what had happened to her family.

RAW COURT AUDIO: DONNA ADELSON HEARING PART 2

Donna Adelson, the Florida woman accused of orchestrating the murder-for-hire plot against her former son-in-law, Dan Markel, claims she and her husband, Harvey Adelson, intended to travel to Vietnam to “catch their breath” before turning themselves in, not to escape justice.

Adelson, 75, made the stunning revelation during a court appearance in Leon County, where she sought her release from jail. Dressed in a purple jumpsuit and shackled, she testified that her husband suggested the trip to Vietnam—where they had previously vacationed—after their son, Dr. Charlie Adelson, was convicted for hiring hitmen to kill Markel in 2014.

“I wasn’t afraid of being arrested,” Adelson stated in court, according to CourtTV. “My husband and I—literally shocked and traumatized at what had happened to Charlie—he said, ‘We need to just get some peace, we need to catch our breath, we’re gonna go away somewhere.’”

In November 2023, authorities arrested the couple at Miami International Airport as they prepared to board a flight to Vietnam via Dubai. Both Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates lack extradition agreements with the United States. Law enforcement officials viewed the move as an attempt to flee prosecution.

Despite the circumstances, Adelson maintained they had every intention of returning to the U.S. voluntarily. “If we go to a non-extradition country, then if law enforcement decided that they wanted to arrest you or me, we won’t be sitting in a foreign prison waiting months to go back,” she recalled her husband saying.

She insisted they understood what their trip might look like to authorities but believed traveling to Vietnam would provide them with a chance to clear their heads before turning themselves in.

“I thought it was a good idea because I just couldn’t think straight,” Adelson told the court.

The case stems from the 2014 murder of Markel, a Florida State University law professor who was embroiled in a bitter custody dispute with his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson, Donna’s daughter. Wendi had wanted to move with their two children from Tallahassee to South Florida, a request Markel had fought in court.

Prosecutors allege that Donna and her son Charlie conspired to have Markel killed to resolve the family’s custody battle. The case remained unsolved for years until law enforcement arrested Charlie Adelson in April 2022.

In November 2023, a jury convicted him of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation. Prosecutors proved he had hired gang members Sigfredo Garcia and Luis Rivera to carry out the hit. Garcia, the triggerman, is serving a life sentence, while Rivera, who cooperated with authorities, received a 19-year sentence.

Garcia’s ex-wife, Katherine Magbanua, who had been dating Charlie Adelson at the time, was also convicted and sentenced to life in prison for her role in arranging the murder.

Charlie Adelson’s conviction appeared to trigger his parents’ attempt to leave the country just two weeks later.

“I wanted to get away, he wanted to get away. That’s what we wanted to do,” Donna Adelson said of her husband.

She testified that she had consulted with her lawyers before the trip and was assured that there were no active warrants or charges against them. “I thought if you asked your attorneys and they tell you that, I’m going,” she said.

Despite allegedly being warned they could be stopped at the airport, the couple proceeded with their travel plans—only to be intercepted by authorities before boarding their flight.

With her son convicted and her own trial ahead, Adelson continues to fight the charges, maintaining that her travel plans were not an attempt to flee justice but rather a desperate attempt to process what had happened to her family.

Kevin Franke Finally Speaks Out The Truth About Ruby Franke’s Abuse
Was Kevin Franke a victim of manipulation, or did he knowingly turn a blind eye while his children suffered? The Ruby Franke case has left many stunned, but the focus now shifts to her husband, Kevin—a man who still claims to love the woman who tortured their children. While he insists he was a victim of religious coercion and extreme psychological control, many argue he was complicit, neglectful, and far too passive.

With a new Hulu documentary shedding light on his role, Kevin is scrambling to explain his inaction. Was he brainwashed by the cult-like influence of Jodi Hildebrandt and the rigid authority of his faith? Or was he just a man too weak to stand up for his own kids? And now that he's seeking custody, should the courts even consider giving it to him?

Will Kohberger's Alleged Autism Spectrum Disorder Save Him From A Death Sentence?
What happens when the strongest defense strategy isn’t proving innocence, but making the jury question everything they thought they knew? Bryan Kohberger’s legal team is running out of moves, and now, they’re playing a psychological game—one that’s less about evidence and more about creating doubt. With all motions denied, they have no choice but to humanize Kohberger, challenge forensic science, and maybe even throw autism spectrum disorder into the mix as a mitigating factor. But is this a strategic move or a desperate gamble? And more importantly—will the jury buy it?

Gabby Petito Update; Breaking Down The Cold, Callous and Tone Deaf Behavior Of Bryan Laundries Parents Amid Crisis
Could the tragic fate of Gabby Petito have been prevented? That’s the haunting question that lingers as we unravel the disturbing web of indifference, denial, and alleged complicity surrounding her murder. From law enforcement’s failure to act on clear warning signs to the Laundrie family's cold detachment, the case isn't just about one life lost—it’s about the larger implications of how power, privilege, and silence protect the wrong people.

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins us to dissect the psychological mechanisms at play—how a family seemingly prioritized self-preservation over justice, how an alleged abuser operated without consequence, and why, time and time again, red flags are ignored until it’s too late. Is this just another tragic case, or is it a reflection of something much darker within society itself?

And seriously… who takes their son on a camping trip when he’s suspected of murder?

Does Kevin Franke Really 'Get It', If He Still Loves Ruby Franke?
Was Kevin Franke a victim of coercion, or did he just turn a blind eye? The case of Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt has been dissected from every angle, but Kevin—the husband who stayed, the father who didn’t intervene—is a puzzle in himself. Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to unravel the layers of manipulation, blind faith, and pathological passivity that may have led Kevin to abandon his children to a house of horrors.

Kevin now claims he was just another victim, swept up in a toxic mix of religious obedience and psychological control. But can we really accept that explanation? Or is it a convenient way to dodge accountability for the role he played—or failed to play—in protecting his own kids? As a new Hulu documentary attempts to shed light on his story, we ask the question: Should Kevin Franke be held responsible, or is he just another casualty of a cult-like system?

Alright, this one is straight out of a horror movie—but unfortunately, it's all too real. A 46-year-old Maryland woman, Candace Craig, will be spending the rest of her life in prison for brutally murdering and dismembering her own mother with a chainsaw. And as if that wasn’t twisted enough, she then tried to blame the whole thing on her own daughters.

Even the prosecutors were left stunned. Assistant State’s Attorney Shauna Coleman, clearly at a loss for words, summed it up perfectly: “This happens in movies and books, not in real life.” But here we are.

This nightmare unfolded on May 23, 2023, at the family’s home near Hyattsville, Maryland. And what was the alleged motive? A credit card dispute. Yeah, you read that right. A fight over money led Candace Craig to commit one of the most gruesome crimes in recent memory.

After killing her 71-year-old mother, Margaret Craig, authorities say Candace took things to an unthinkable level—she chopped up her mother’s body. And she didn’t do it alone. Her 21-year-old daughter, Salia Hardy, was dragged into this mess too. According to prosecutors, the two of them tried burning Margaret’s remains on a grill—while also cooking chicken at the same time, apparently thinking the smell of BBQ would somehow cover up the stench of burning human flesh. Because nothing says “totally normal backyard cookout” like gasoline and human remains on the grill.

Salia Hardy was later charged as an accessory after the fact. Her defense argued that she has learning disabilities, making her especially vulnerable to manipulation. She ended up taking a plea deal and later testified against her mother.

When the case hit the courtroom, it was as disturbing as you’d expect. Judge Karen Mason didn’t mince words when she called Craig’s actions “something so unimaginable.” Then she handed down the ultimate punishment—life in prison without parole.

And while the details of this case could make even the most seasoned crime reporter queasy, the prosecution didn’t want to focus on the horror. Instead, they tried to shift attention to Margaret Craig’s life rather than just the brutality of her death. “I would instead like to preserve the memory of Margaret Craig,” Coleman said, choosing to honor the victim rather than dwell on the carnage.

One of the most damning pieces of evidence came from Salia Hardy herself. She testified that on the night of the murder, she heard her grandmother scream, but her mother brushed it off, saying something just fell in the basement. Oh, and then she casually warned her daughter not to go into grandma’s room.

The next day, when Hardy was home alone, she made a horrifying discovery—her grandmother’s lifeless body, stuffed in a bin with a trash bag covering her head. And if that wasn’t disturbing enough, Candace Craig didn’t even try to justify what she had done. Instead, she told her daughter that they had to get rid of the DNA. The options she suggested? Acid, burning the body, or dismemberment. You know, just a casual brainstorming session about how to cover up matricide.

Prosecutors laid out exactly how methodical Craig was. She went to Home Depot (because of course she did) and bought grilling supplies, including a can of gasoline. But her plan didn’t go smoothly. When they tried to burn Margaret Craig’s body on the grill, the fire got out of control, prompting neighbors to step in and help put it out. Firefighters were even called—yet somehow, no one discovered the body at that time.

By the next morning, with the fire out and the remains "cooled off" (Hardy’s words, not mine), they brought Margaret Craig’s charred remains back inside the house. That’s when Candace allegedly took a chainsaw to what was left, dismembering her mother in the basement.

When police eventually arrived for a welfare check on June 2—after a 911 caller reported they hadn’t heard from Margaret in days—they were hit with a smell that could only mean one thing. You guessed it—decomposition.

Officers found blood and tissue on the floor. They found three white plastic trash bags. One of them? Contained what looked like brain matter. And sitting nearby? A knife and a chainsaw, both covered in human remains.

During trial, Assistant Medical Examiner Dr. Pamela Ferreira revealed that investigators recovered 67 pieces of Margaret Craig’s remains. But here’s the unsettling part—some body parts were never found. The condition of what they did find showed clear signs of both burning and dismemberment with a mechanical saw. While it was clear she was murdered, the exact cause of death? Still undetermined.

After sentencing Craig to life without parole, Judge Mason left her with some haunting words:

"What we have here is a woman who led a good life and left this world in such a way. And only you know, Ms. Craig, exactly what happened here."

And that’s the terrifying part. Only Candace Craig knows exactly what happened that night.

So, what’s left? A daughter who will forever be haunted by what she was forced to witness. A mother whose life was taken in one of the most violent ways imaginable. And a community still struggling to understand how someone could do something so horrific—especially to their own family.

There are brutal crimes, and then there’s this. And while Candace Craig will never see the outside of a prison cell again, the real question is: What kind of person does this to their own mother?

Alright, let’s really break this one down because it’s a case that’ll make your blood boil.
A Louisiana mother, 24-year-old Summer Buxton, just got sentenced to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter in the overdose death of her 2-year-old son, Keynan Jay Buxton. And while eight years might sound like a decent chunk of time, her family is not having it. They were expecting something much harsher—like 20 years—and they’re making it very clear that they think justice was barely served.

So, what exactly happened?

Back on May 30, 2023, authorities found little Keynan unresponsive in a motel room. Now, kids get into things all the time, but when the toxicology report came back, it painted a truly horrifying picture. This toddler had meth, fentanyl, and acetyl fentanyl in his system. That’s not just an accidental exposure—that’s a fatal amount of drugs for a fully grown adult, let alone a baby who probably still needed help getting his shoes on the right feet.

During the sentencing, Buxton’s sister, who goes by Lyons, didn’t hold back. She gave an emotional and furious victim impact statement, calling for the maximum penalty. In her eyes, Summer showed zero remorse—not a shred of guilt, not a moment of reflection. Instead, according to Lyons, Summer was more focused on keeping her OnlyFans account running than mourning the loss of her son. And just when you think it couldn’t get any more absurd, Lyons also claimed that Summer was bragging about her “sugar daddy” footing the bill for her legal defense. Imagine being in that situation—your child is gone, your family is shattered, and instead of taking accountability, you’re flexing about who’s paying your lawyer fees.

Buxton’s mother, Tammie Abshire, echoed the outrage. She said the family fully expected a 20-year sentence, not a measly eight. And then Lyons dropped a brutal comparison: “How do you give someone eight years for the death of her child… but you can get ten years for animal abuse?” And honestly, she’s got a point. In some states, if you so much as harm a police dog, you’re looking at more time behind bars than Summer got for what happened to her son. Let that sink in.

Now, Buxton’s defense team tried their best to spin the narrative. Their argument? This was all a tragic accident, and Summer was suffering from a severe drug addiction that completely clouded her judgment. They claimed she wasn’t in her right mind, that manslaughter was too harsh, and that the charge should’ve been negligent homicide instead. But the DA wasn’t buying it. They refused to lower the charge, but in the end, they still cut a deal that her attorneys called “fair and reasonable.”

Meanwhile, let’s not forget about Keynan’s father, Adrian Higgins. He was arrested too and ended up with a 10-year sentence after pleading guilty to manslaughter. So, if you’re keeping score—Mom got eight years, Dad got ten. And yet, the child is still gone, and the family is left wondering if justice was really served.

And just when you think the story is over, there’s more. Buxton was actually arrested again in January 2024 at a motel in Mississippi (because apparently, motels are a recurring theme in her life). And if that wasn’t enough, another woman connected to this case was arrested too—her court date is coming up on March 3. Who she is and what exactly her role was is still unclear, but it seems like this tangled mess of a case isn’t done unraveling just yet.

So, what do we take away from this? At the heart of it, this is an absolute tragedy. A 2-year-old lost his life in a situation that never should have happened. A child that young doesn’t just stumble upon fentanyl and meth on his own—he had to be in an environment where that was accessible. And that’s what makes this so enraging.

Some people will argue that eight years is enough—after all, Summer was an addict, and addiction is a disease. But then you have the other side, the people who see this as a complete failure of justice. They see a mother who should have been protecting her child but instead put him in an environment where he didn’t stand a chance. And now, she’ll serve a sentence that, realistically, could be cut even shorter with good behavior.

At the end of the day, no amount of prison time is bringing Keynan back. But the question that lingers is: Did the punishment fit the crime?

This case is the kind of legal puzzle that makes you wonder just how much we really know about the human brain. A Texas jury just found 21-year-old Benjamin Elliott guilty of murder for stabbing his twin sister, Meghan, in the neck while she slept. The twist? Elliott claims he was sleepwalking at the time.

Let’s rewind to 2021. Elliott was just 17 when he plunged a survival knife into his sister’s neck in their family home in Katy, Texas. According to his version of events, he was deep in a dream, completely unaware of what he was doing—until he suddenly snapped awake and realized the horror in front of him.

In his initial statement to investigators, Elliott said: “I freaked out and, like, put the knife down and put a pillow on her to try and stop the bleeding. Then called, you know, 911 from my phone.”

But Meghan’s injuries were fatal. No amount of frantic backpedaling could undo what had just happened.

After five hours of deliberation, the jury delivered its verdict: guilty of murder. The judge then handed down a 15-year sentence—far less than the 99 years he could have faced. And why? Because the jury itself asked for leniency.

From the very beginning, Elliott’s lawyer, Wes Rucker, built the entire defense on one question: Why would a kid with no motive, no history of violence, and a deep love for his sister do something this horrific—unless he wasn’t truly awake?

Sleepwalking as a legal defense isn’t unheard of, but it’s rare. The idea is that someone in a sleepwalking state is essentially on autopilot, moving and acting without conscious control. It’s not a crime of passion, not a premeditated attack—it’s just the brain misfiring in the worst way possible.

And Elliott’s family backed up his claim. His older sister even testified that he had a history of bizarre, trance-like episodes. One time, she recalled, he stood in a doorway with his eyes barely open, unresponsive. When she touched his shoulder, he simply turned and went back to bed, completely unaware of what had happened.

Sounds convincing, right?

Not according to the prosecution.

Prosecutors didn’t buy the sleepwalking angle for a second. While they couldn’t present a clear motive, they did drop some evidence suggesting Elliott was definitely awake shortly before the stabbing.

For one, he was using his phone about 20 minutes before the attack. That’s a pretty big red flag. Unless he was sleep-texting—(which, to be fair, is a thing, but not exactly common)—it suggests he was fully conscious leading up to the crime.

Then there was the way he handled the aftermath. Prosecutors argued that after stabbing Meghan, Elliott had the presence of mind to call 911 and even use a pillow to muffle her screams. That doesn’t sound like someone in a mindless sleepwalking state—it sounds like someone trying to control the situation.

Assistant District Attorney Megan Long put it bluntly:

"While I didn’t give you motive, I did give you premeditation. It’s not a coincidence that the knife he got the night before is the same knife he used to kill his sister.”

This left the jury in a tough spot. They clearly weren’t convinced by the sleepwalking defense, but they also weren’t sold on the idea that Elliott was a cold-blooded killer. If they had believed this was a calculated murder, they could have recommended a much harsher sentence. Instead, they asked the judge for leniency—which is exactly what he gave.

Not everyone agrees with the jury’s verdict. Neurologist Dr. Jerald Simmons, who testified for the defense, flat-out said:

"I think the jury got it wrong. It’s totally possible [to kill while sleepwalking]. If it wasn’t possible, I wouldn’t have taken this position.”

He pointed out that, while rare, similar cases have happened before. For example, back in 2010, a North Carolina man was found not guilty after claiming he was sleepwalking when he smothered his 4-year-old son and attacked two other children. In that case, experts testified that extreme stress and sleep deprivation could trigger violent sleepwalking episodes.

But in Elliott’s case? The jury just wasn’t convinced enough to let him walk free.

So, was Benjamin Elliott a tragic victim of a sleep disorder? Or did the jury just spare a young man from spending his entire life in prison because they weren’t totally sure of his intentions?

Donna Adelson’s Bond Hearing Disaster – What Went Wrong?
On February 26, 2025, inside a packed Tallahassee courtroom, Donna Adelson took the stand in a desperate bid for freedom—but the day did not go as she had hoped. The 75-year-old matriarch of the Adelson family, now charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation in the murder-for-hire of her former son-in-law Dan Markel, tried to convince the judge that she was a frail, elderly woman suffering behind bars, not a criminal mastermind. She spoke of assaults by fellow inmates, sleepless nights, and untreated medical issues, painting a picture of jailhouse misery in a last-ditch effort to be released on bond.
But prosecutors weren’t buying it. They fired back with hard evidence, reminding the court that Donna wasn’t just any defendant—she was arrested at Miami International Airport while attempting to flee the country on a one-way flight to Vietnam, a country with no U.S. extradition treaty. They played damning jailhouse recordings, where she openly discussed escape plans with her son, Charlie, and even acknowledged that authorities might catch her at the airport before she could get away. When the judge ruled to deny her bond and allow the recorded calls into evidence at trial, it was a devastating blow for the defense.

In this episode, we break down every explosive moment from Donna Adelson’s day in court—her testimony, her legal team’s strategy, the state’s response, and the judge’s final decision. What does this mean for her upcoming trial in June 2025? How will her legal team adjust now that she remains in jail and the jury will hear her incriminating phone calls? And most importantly, is this the beginning of the end for Donna Adelson? Stay tuned as we unravel one of the most pivotal hearings in this high-profile murder case.
