Inside the Walshe Marriage: FBI Profiler on Trust, Betrayal & What Predicts Violence

For over fifteen years, Blanca Simpson worked inside the Murdaugh family's world. She cleaned their homes. She ran their errands. She watched their kids grow up. And she saw a side of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh that the media never showed you. In this exclusive interview — part one of a five-part series — Blanca takes us back to the very beginning. How she first met Alex Murdaugh in the late 1990s while helping a friend with a legal case. How a chance encounter at a Pizza Hut parking lot led to years of translation work for his law firm. And how she eventually became the trusted housekeeper for one of the most powerful families in the South Carolina Lowcountry. But more importantly, Blanca sets the record straight on who Maggie and Paul really were. Maggie wasn't the fur-coat-wearing snob the tabloids made her out to be — she shopped at local mom-and-pop stores and made friends everywhere she went. And Paul? He was a little clown who used to hide Blanca's cleaning supplies just to mess with her. This is the Murdaugh family before the boat crash. Before the lawsuits. Before the murders. A family that, by all appearances, had it all — money, power, respect, and a tight-knit bond that Blanca found genuinely attractive. But as we'll learn in the coming segments, that picture was about to shatter. If you're new to this case or you've followed every twist and turn, this interview offers a perspective you haven't heard — from someone who was actually there, inside the house, part of the family's daily life. Part 2 drops soon. Make sure you're subscribed and hit the bell so you don't miss it.

Richard Allen is serving 130 years for the murders of Abby Williams and Libby German. The jury has spoken. But his defense team just filed something unprecedented—a request to submit an appeal brief nearly double the standard size. Ten issues. Nine constitutional claims. And a roadmap of everything that went wrong in this case. In this episode, we break down the five categories of Allen's appeal and what each one reveals about how this conviction was built. From the alternative suspects the jury never heard about—including a man who allegedly confessed to the killings months after they happened—to the 1,200 pages of evidence that was blocked from trial. From the sixty-one confessions made by a man who was also confessing to crimes that provably never happened, to the thirteen months of solitary confinement that the defense says broke his mind. No DNA linked Richard Allen to the crime scene. The state's own forensic scientist testified to that. The single piece of physical evidence—an unspent bullet—relies on contested toolmark analysis that the defense wasn't fully allowed to challenge. A volunteer clerk caught a filing error that investigators missed for five years. And a judge blocked the jury from hearing about other suspects, erased interview recordings, and an Odinism theory that law enforcement themselves investigated before dropping it without explanation. This isn't about declaring Richard Allen innocent. It's about asking whether the state proved their case—or just closed it. Whether the jury heard what they needed to hear. Whether this was a constitutional trial or a conviction built on broken confessions and blocked evidence. The families of Abby and Libby deserve justice. But justice isn't just an ending. It's the right ending. Full case breakdown. Every appeal issue explained. No speculation—just the facts the defense is putting before the Indiana Court of Appeals. #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #AbbyAndLibby #DelphiCase #TrueCrime #DelphiTrial #RichardAllenAppeal #DelphiUpdate #LibbyGerman #AbbyWilliams Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brian Walshe sat across from detectives and told them everything was fine. Happy marriage. No affair. No idea where his wife went. He said he'd "never do anything to hurt" Ana. What investigators didn't tell him right away was that they'd already pulled his search history—queries like "how long before a body starts to smell" and "can you be charged with murder without a body." In this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—former chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—breaks down the recorded police interviews that are now central evidence in the Brian Walshe murder trial. For 21 years, Dreeke's job was catching people in lies that threatened national security. He knows what deception looks like under pressure, and he's walking us through exactly what Walshe's words, delivery, and behavior reveal. We dig into the specific tells: Why did Walshe volunteer that his wife's texts sometimes popped up on his phone? What does it mean when someone fabricates alibi details that surveillance footage directly contradicts? How does a person maintain composure across multiple interviews while their laptop contains a roadmap to dismemberment? Dreeke explains the difference between genuine denial and performance, why guilty people often give too much information, and what baseline behavioral shifts—like a suddenly rushed demeanor at daycare drop-off—actually signal. This isn't speculation. It's pattern recognition from someone who spent two decades in rooms with people whose lies had consequences. The Walshe trial is happening right now. The jury is hearing these recordings. And once you understand what to listen for, you'll never hear them the same way. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheTrial #TrueCrime #FBI #BehavioralAnalysis #RobinDreeke #DeceptionDetection #PoliceInterview #MurderTrial #CohassetMurder #CrimePsychology #BodyLanguage #Interrogation #TrueCrimePodcast #CriminalBehavior #FBIAgent #TrueCrimeCommunity #Justice #MassachusettsCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The death of Celeste Rivas-Hernandez — the 15-year-old found inside a Tesla linked to music artist d4vd — has rapidly become one of the most contradictory, fractured, and confusing investigations in recent memory. Not because the facts don’t exist… but because every public-facing statement contradicts the next. Tonight on Hidden Killers, we break down the widening gap between official LAPD statements, sealed court filings, forensic whispers, and the digital paper trail that suggests investigators are pursuing something far larger than the public has been told. Early on, LAPD described the case simply as a death investigation. No suspects. No cause of death. No manner determined. But in a sealed-records court filing obtained by the Los Angeles Times, an LAPD detective referred to the case as an “investigation into murder.” That is not a semantic slip — that is a classification shift. And it becomes even more significant when paired with the full autopsy, toxicology, and cause-of-death being locked behind a “security hold” requested by LAPD. Then there’s the chaos surrounding the condition of Celeste’s body. Viral rumors claimed she was “frozen.” LAPD denied only one specific version — that she was frozen inside the Tesla. They did not deny the possibility of cold storage prior to being moved. And now, multiple outlets report indicators consistent with freezing, refrigeration, long-term concealment, and even potential dismemberment. That leaves two coexist­ing possibilities: the car was not the primary location… and Celeste may have been deceased long before she was placed there. Add to that the confusion over whether LAPD has even been able to interview d4vd. His camp claims he is “cooperating fully.” A police source told People the exact opposite — that detectives have not spoken with him at all. That single contradiction raises serious questions about communication… or cooperation. And now a new avalanche of forensic details has emerged:  • Indicators of cold storage or refrigeration  • Evidence consistent with long-term concealment  • Methods investigators use to backdate a death by weeks or months  • Surveillance reportedly showing someone else driving the Tesla  • How non-cooperation pushes detectives into digital forensics  • What “final stage transport” means for the primary crime scene  • And why multiple-suspect concealment often looks exactly like this To help make sense of it, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down timelines, storage environments, digital trails, search warrant patterns, and why this case feels far more organized — and far more deliberate — than anyone anticipated. A teenage girl is gone. A narrative is fracturing. And investigators are holding information tighter than almost any case we’ve covered. Tonight, we follow the contradictions, the silence, and the emerging forensic picture of what may have really happened to Celeste Rivas-Hernandez.

Eighteen-year-old Anna Kepner was found dead aboard the Carnival Horizon — hidden under a bed, wrapped in a blanket, and partially covered with life vests. But the most shocking part of this case isn’t what was found in that cabin. It’s everything happening outside of it. Tonight on Hidden Killers, we dig into the emotional, chaotic, and deeply fractured family dynamics that defined Anna’s life long before that cruise. What’s emerging now is a portrait of a young woman caught between two households locked in years of conflict, resentment, secrecy, and trauma — a reality her friends and family say she never escaped. Anna’s biological mother, Heather, released a raw and unfiltered TikTok video describing her struggles with addiction, depression, and the painful distance between her and her daughter. Her grandmother and uncle publicly accuse members of the paternal home of withholding the truth. Her ex-boyfriend claims Anna feared a stepsibling — the same 16-year-old who is now being referenced by major outlets as a suspect. The stepmother has invoked her Fifth Amendment rights. Custody filings are unraveling. The family is fracturing in real time. And Anna’s father — the central figure across three marriages — remains virtually silent. This is not a simple tragedy. It’s not a single incident. It’s a collision of long-standing fractures, hidden tensions, competing narratives, and relatives taking their stories public as investigators try to cut through the noise. Every person close to Anna seems to be telling a different version of who she was, what she feared, and what really happened on that ship. Tonight, we step back and examine the full picture — the emotional landscape, the allegations, the clashing accounts, and the patterns investigators are now forced to untangle if they hope to understand the final hours of a teenage girl who never should have ended up hidden under a bed at sea. This is the story behind the story. This is the case everyone is talking about — and the one no one can agree on. #HiddenKillers #AnnaKepner #CarnivalCruise #TrueCrime #TonyBrueski #Investigation #FamilyDynamics #FBI #CruiseShipDeath #MaritimeCrime #Stepfamily Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Brian Walshe trial has barely begun, and already the defense story is cracking under the weight of its own contradictions. Today on Hidden Killers, we break down the opening statements — not just what each side said, but what the evidence actually shows. Because if you watched the defense’s narrative unfold, you probably noticed something: it doesn’t come anywhere close to matching the digital, physical, and behavioral trail left behind. Prosecutors laid out a timeline that reads like a blueprint of intent: early-morning searches on body disposal, inheritance rules, DNA cleaning, and dismemberment. Surveillance footage from multiple stores showing a man matching Brian’s appearance buying the exact tools needed for a cover-up. Cell phone data placing devices exactly where incriminating items ended up. And a trash compactor filled with Anna’s belongings, cutting tools, cleaning agents, and DNA. Meanwhile, the defense wants the jury — and the public — to believe this was a sudden unexplained death, followed by a panicked, irrational cleanup because Brian thought no one would believe him. They want people to overlook the Google history, ignore the store receipts, dismiss the surveillance videos, disregard the timeline, and trust the word of a man already convicted of deception. The problem? Every single piece of evidence points in the opposite direction. Today we break down the defense’s “sudden death” narrative and show why it doesn’t align with medical logic, psychological reality, or the forensic trail. We look at the timeline the prosecution presented and why it’s so devastating. And we examine how the behavior following Anna’s disappearance speaks louder than any opening statement ever could. This is the trial everyone is watching — and the evidence everyone needs to understand. #HiddenKillers #BrianWalshe #AnnaWalshe #TrueCrime #CourtroomCoverage #TrialAnalysis #ForensicEvidence #CrimeScene #JusticeSystem #LegalAnalysis #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
