Scott Peterson: The Evidence Police Destroyed and Never Explained
It’s one of the most shocking allegations to ever surface in a high-profile murder case: that detectives in the Laci Peterson investigation met behind closed doors to discuss discovery—and the very next day, marked key evidence for destruction. According to the new 600-page LA Innocence Project petition, internal Modesto Police logs show that on May 6 2003, investigators gathered to decide what to hand over to the defense. By May 7, they’d ordered the destruction of two critical items: the videotaped interrogations of burglars Steven Todd and Glenn Pierce, and the safe stolen from the Medina home across the street from Scott and Laci. Weeks later—gone. Destroyed. No copies, no transcripts, no forensic testing. This episode breaks down how that single act could unravel the entire case. We’ll look at the timeline, the paper trail, and the California law (Trombetta and Youngblood) that defines intentional destruction of exculpatory evidence as a constitutional violation. If this petition is right, it wasn’t negligence. It was orchestration. And it may be the moment the State of California crossed the line from prosecution … to cover-up. #ScottPeterson #LaciPeterson #LAInnocenceProject #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #JusticeForLaci #WrongfulConviction #TonyBrueski #ForensicEvidence #CriminalJustice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When the Mother Returns Alone: What Happened to Melodee Buzzard?
This isn’t just a missing-child case. It’s a mirror held up to a system that looked the other way. Melodee Buzzard’s home was reportedly in squalor. No food. No schooling. Prior CPS visits. Still, she remained. Then came the disguise — a wig, a hoodie, a rental car — and a cross-country drive that ended in silence. On Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer strip away the excuses and bureaucracy that let it happen. How does a child go unaccounted for months while everyone knew something was wrong? How does a mother stay free when the child she left with never returns? They examine the intersection of law enforcement failure, family neglect, and bureaucratic paralysis — and what it says about the way America protects its most vulnerable. This episode is empathy for the child, outrage for the system, and an unflinching call for accountability. Because Melodee Buzzard didn’t vanish overnight. She disappeared over years of warning signs ignored.

Inside the Secret Connection Between D4vd and Celeste Rivas Hernandez
When 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez vanished from her California home, nobody imagined she’d later be found inside a Tesla — registered to viral pop star d4vd. The question haunting everyone since: what was their relationship? In this episode, Tony Brueski takes you inside the connection that’s now at the center of one of the most disturbing Hollywood investigations of the year. Matching tattoos. An unreleased song called “Celeste.” Photos reportedly taken by him. A livestream clip that ends with the words “Delete everything.” What do these pieces mean — and how close were they, really? This isn’t gossip. It’s a deep dive into a power dynamic that may have crossed the line between fame and exploitation — and a reminder of what happens when influence meets innocence. Tony separates fact from rumor, walking the razor’s edge between evidence and silence in a case that’s as tragic as it is chilling.

15 People Saw Laci Peterson Alive!! NONE Were Heard in Court!
Imagine fifteen people—five of whom personally knew Laci Peterson—telling police they saw her alive, walking her golden retriever, after her husband had already left for his solo fishing trip. Now imagine every single one of them ignored. That’s the picture painted by the LA Innocence Project in its new 600-page petition for a new trial. The filing lists more than a dozen witnesses who saw a pregnant woman matching Laci’s description between 9:45 and 11:30 a.m. on Dec 24 2002, right in the Petersons’ Modesto neighborhood. Detective Grogan told jurors no “verifiable” sightings existed. Yet other officers called those witnesses “credible.” Several now swear they were told by police, “We already got our guy.” This episode examines the testimonies that never reached a courtroom—and why suppressing them matters. If Laci was seen alive after Scott left, the state’s entire timeline collapses. Fifteen people say they saw the truth. The question is — why didn’t anyone want the jury to? #ScottPeterson #LaciPeterson #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #LAInnocenceProject #JusticeForLaci #TonyBrueski #WrongfulConviction #EyewitnessTestimony #CriminalJustice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
