Psychotherapist Explains The Dark Minds Behind The Reiner Murders & the Mickey Stines Case

Psychotherapist Explains The Dark Minds Behind The Reiner Murders & the Mickey Stines Case

Rob and Michele Reiner spent nearly two decades trying to save their son. Seventeen rehab stays. Constant supervision. A guest house on their property so they could keep him close and try to manage the chaos. Every possible resource love, money, access, and opportunity could provide. And still, on December 15, 2025, they were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home. Their son, Nick Reiner, now faces charges in their killings.

This is not a story about parents who missed the warning signs. It’s about parents who lived with those signs for eighteen years and had no legal way to act on them.

In this in-depth conversation, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines what was likely unfolding inside the Reiner family long before that final night. She breaks down why Nick Reiner’s own words — that drugs were never about getting high but about “killing the noise” — point to deeper psychological distress that traditional rehab often fails to address. We explore what happens to parents psychologically when they’ve exhausted every option yet remain trapped in proximity to a volatile adult child, and why wealth and access offered no real protection.

The discussion then widens to a second chilling case: the Mickey Stines tragedy in Kentucky, where a sheriff fatally shot a judge inside his own courthouse after weeks of visible psychological unraveling. Witnesses described paranoia, severe sleep deprivation, rapid weight loss, delusional beliefs, and an alarming phone call to a deceased relative on the day of the incident. Coworkers saw it. Friends saw it. Authorities saw it. And still, no intervention stopped what followed.

Together, these cases expose a painful reality: in the United States, families and communities often recognize danger long before the law allows action. Competent adults cannot be forced into treatment. Intervention requires “imminent danger,” a threshold that frequently isn’t crossed until lives are already lost.

This conversation isn’t about excusing violence or assigning blame. It’s about confronting the limits of love, the failures baked into mental-health and commitment laws, and the impossible position families are placed in when respecting autonomy means risking their own safety.

If you’ve ever wondered how people can do everything right and still end up here, this episode offers uncomfortable — but necessary — answers.

Abby Zwerner Verdict: 6-Year-Old’s Classroom Shooting — Jury Holds Assistant Principal Accountable

Abby Zwerner Verdict: 6-Year-Old’s Classroom Shooting — Jury Holds Assistant Principal Accountable

Justice — delayed, but finally delivered. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we cover the stunning verdict in the case of Abby Zwerner, the Virginia first-grade teacher who was shot by her six-year-old student inside Richneck Elementary School. After nearly two years, a jury has ruled that former assistant principal Ebony Parker is liable for ignoring repeated warnings that the child had a gun — awarding $10 million in damages to Zwerner. This isn’t just a lawsuit — it’s an indictment of an entire system that looked the other way. Teachers came forward that morning. They told Parker the student had a weapon in his backpack. They begged her to act. But she didn’t. Hours later, Abby stood at the front of her classroom — teaching, protecting, doing her job — when that six-year-old pulled the trigger. The bullet nearly killed her. Multiple surgeries later, she’s still living with nerve damage, pain, and trauma that will never fully fade. But tonight’s verdict is more than compensation — it’s a warning shot to every school district in America: when staff ignore danger, when leadership protects its image instead of its people, the courtroom will hold you accountable. Tony Brueski breaks down the key testimony, courtroom reactions, and what this landmark decision means for educators, parents, and every student walking into class tomorrow. The Abby Zwerner verdict isn’t just about one assistant principal — it’s about a national failure to take threats seriously until it’s too late. Watch as Tony walks through: – How multiple teachers sounded the alarm — and were ignored – Why the jury sided with Zwerner and what evidence swayed them – The emotional impact of her testimony and survival – What comes next for Parker’s pending criminal charges This is the story of one teacher’s fight for justice — and the system’s long-overdue reckoning. #AbbyZwerner #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TeacherShooting #EbonyParker #SchoolSafety #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeForAbby #VirginiaTrial #HiddenKillersLive #TrueCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

DOJ SHUTS DOWN Epstein Investigation — MASSIVE Cover-Up EXPOSED

DOJ SHUTS DOWN Epstein Investigation — MASSIVE Cover-Up EXPOSED

In one of the most damning congressional letters in recent history, Rep. Jamie Raskin is demanding answers from Attorney General Pam Bondi after the Department of Justice quietly killed the ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators. Until January 2025, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York was running an active case—interviewing survivors, issuing subpoenas, and pursuing leads on Epstein’s vast network of abusers and enablers. Nearly fifty women provided names, timelines, and evidence connecting at least twenty powerful men to Epstein’s operation. Then, overnight, everything stopped. The Trump DOJ ordered the files transferred to Washington, D.C. By July, the FBI and DOJ had closed the case, issuing a one-page memo claiming there was “no evidence” to continue. Raskin calls it what it is: a gigantic cover-up. In his letter, he accuses the DOJ of abandoning survivors, firing prosecutors, dismissing credible witnesses, and refusing to investigate over $1.5 billion in suspicious Epstein-linked transactions flagged by major banks. Even worse, FBI Director Kash Patel told Congress the victims were “not credible”—the same women whose testimony convicted Ghislaine Maxwell beyond a reasonable doubt. This episode breaks down Raskin’s explosive letter line by line—how the DOJ buried one of the largest sex-trafficking investigations in U.S. history, what it means for survivors, and what Congress plans to do next. Because if the government can erase the Epstein files this easily, who will they protect next? 🎙️ Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski — Exposing the truth they don’t want you to hear. #JeffreyEpstein #JamieRaskin #EpsteinCoverUp #PamBondi #FBI #DOJ #SexTrafficking #EpsteinFiles #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrime #JusticeForSurvivors #GhislaineMaxwell #JamieRaskinLetter #EpsteinInvestigation Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
