Inside the Mind of Rex Heuermann: The Gilgo Beach Killer Psychology-WEEK IN REVIEW
He looked like the guy next door — an architect, a husband, a father. But prosecutors say Rex Heuermann was also the man behind the Gilgo Beach murders, one of the most disturbing serial-killer cases in recent memory. In this psychological deep dive, Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski takes you inside the mind of control, exploring how a man can design blueprints by day and allegedly engineer horror by night. Through the lens of behavioral science, Tony examines compartmentalization, high-functioning psychopathy, and sadistic dominance — the traits that allow someone to live a double life so convincingly it fools everyone around them. From the soundproof basement to the meticulous planning, Heuermann’s world wasn’t chaos — it was choreography. This episode unpacks how his architecture mirrored his pathology and why the façade of normalcy is often the perfect camouflage for the worst kind of predator. Because monsters don’t always hide in the dark. Sometimes they wave from the driveway. #RexHeuermann #GilgoBeach #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast #SerialKillerPsychology #CriminalMind #FBIProfile #LongIslandMurders #BehavioralAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Growing Up Kohberger: The Family Behind the Killer-WEEK IN REVIEW
Before the flashing lights and the headlines, the Kohbergers were just a quiet Pennsylvania family. Then one December night, the world changed — and so did their last name. In this Hidden Killers special, Tony Brueski explores the human cost of infamy through the story “Growing Up Kohberger.” What happens when your sibling becomes the nation’s most hated man? What happens when your last name turns radioactive overnight? Through documented accounts, psychological research, and parallel stories from other families of killers, Tony examines what experts call courtesy stigma — the inherited guilt of proximity. He explores the moral injury of love and revulsion colliding, and the silent trauma of “ambiguous loss,” where the person you love is alive but gone forever. This isn’t about the crime — it’s about the quiet aftermath. A mother trembling in court. Sisters deciding whether to change their names. A family learning to breathe again in a world that won’t forget. Because the hardest sentence isn’t always served by the guilty. Sometimes it’s carried by the ones who have to keep living under the same name. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #TonyBrueski #KohbergerFamily #Psychology #CourtesyStigma #CriminalPsychology #MoscowIdaho Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What the PI Found After LAPD Left At D4VD Rental Home — A Shocking New Allegation-WEEK IN REVIEW
A private investigator’s shocking account is raising new questions in the ongoing investigation linked to musician D4vd and the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The PI says that after LAPD executed a search warrant at a Hollywood Hills property, he entered and found what he describes as “sadistic plans” related to Celeste — items he claims were overlooked by investigators. LAPD has not commented publicly on the specifics, but the allegation has stirred public concern over evidence handling and procedural rigor. Tony Brueski speaks with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, who explains how warrant searches are supposed to work, what chain of custody means in practice, and why investigators must confirm — or refute — these types of civilian claims with caution. Could a procedural lapse have real legal consequences later? And what responsibility does law enforcement have to publicly clarify when private claims go viral? Coffindaffer lays out the stakes clearly — reminding listeners that while accusations can spread fast, only verified evidence can bring justice. #D4vd #CelesteRivas #JenniferCoffindaffer #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #LAPD #TrueCrime #HollywoodHills #PrivateInvestigator #JusticeForCeleste Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Diddy’s Desperate Appeal: The Predator Who Can’t Stop Controlling
There’s a line I keep coming back to: “I don’t know anyone who defends predators, other than predators.” Sean “Diddy” Combs just filed his appeal — a desperate attempt to undo the 50-month federal sentence that ended his decades-long illusion of control. Convicted of violating the Mann Act for transporting women across state lines for prostitution, Combs isn’t claiming innocence. He’s arguing math. His lawyers say the judge used “acquitted conduct” to calculate the sentence — a technical loophole that might shave a few months off. But this isn’t about law. It’s about ego. The same need to control every narrative, every room, every person who ever said no. For a man who once sold invincibility as a brand, an appeal is just another way to pretend he still holds the power. The odds? Almost zero. Federal courts rarely overturn sentences like his. But while his lawyers argue decimal points and sentencing guidelines, the rest of the world remembers what really matters: the pattern of coercion, violence, and control that no appeal can erase. Some called it ambition. Others called it genius. But history will remember it for what it was — domination dressed as entertainment. Fifty months isn’t redemption. It’s barely acknowledgment. In this episode, we break down what this appeal actually means, what’s really behind it, and why it’s the final act of a man who still believes accountability is optional. Because the truth doesn’t need a new trial. And you can’t appeal your own nature. #Diddy #SeanCombs #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #DiddyAppeal #PredatorAccountability #JusticeSystem #MannAct #CelebrityCrime #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
