Inside Wendy Adelson’s Explosive Fight With Her Boyfriend Jeff Lacasse
Inside Wendy Adelson’s Explosive Fight With Her Boyfriend Jeff Lacasse Jeff Lacasse’s relationship with Wendy Adelson was anything but stable. In this segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, listeners are taken inside a critical fight in Gainesville, where Jeff’s suspicions of infidelity and Wendy’s manipulative promises collided in a heated argument. From promises that Jeff would soon be “Daddy” to her children, to sudden cold shoulders and disappearing acts, Wendy’s behavior painted the portrait of a woman living in contradictions. The hosts analyze what this rollercoaster dynamic says about Wendy’s psychological state and the influence of her family. Was she stringing Jeff along to serve a hidden agenda? Was her erratic treatment of him a reflection of deeper turmoil as the Markel case inched toward tragedy? This segment underscores how personal relationships can reveal truths that legal filings alone cannot. Through Jeff’s testimony, the audience gains a clearer picture of the chaos and volatility surrounding Wendy Adelson in the final months before Dan Markel’s murder — and how even intimate relationships were twisted into the larger web of manipulation.

The Broken TV Alibi: Was Wendy Adelson Setting the Stage For Murder?
The Broken TV Alibi: Was Wendy Adelson Setting the Stage For Murder? It’s one of the strangest details in the Dan Markel case: a broken television that just happened to become part of Wendy Adelson’s alibi. In this segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, the team unpacks Jeff LaCasse’ testimony about visiting Wendy’s home, only to discover her TV was mysteriously shattered. At first glance, it might seem like a household accident — but the timing, the context, and the surrounding testimony suggest something far more sinister. Charlie Adelson’s dark joke that buying a TV was “cheaper than hiring a hitman” adds an eerie layer of foreshadowing. Add to that a Geek Squad repair appointment allegedly arranged by Donna Adelson, and the entire broken-TV narrative begins to look less like coincidence and more like stagecraft. Tony and the panel explore how small, seemingly random events can take on disturbing significance when placed under the microscope of a murder trial. Could this broken television have been part of a carefully manufactured alibi? Was it a way to distract investigators and provide cover at the exact time Dan Markel was gunned down? This segment offers an unsettling look at how far the Adelsons may have gone to cover their tracks.

Jeff LaCasse Testifies: Wendy Adelson’s Strange Behavior Before Murder
Jeff LaCasse Testifies: Wendy Adelson’s Strange Behavior Before Murder When Jeff LaCasse stepped into the courtroom, his testimony peeled back a layer of Wendy Adelson’s world that had rarely been seen. In this segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, listeners hear how Jeff described Wendy’s constant distress, her fixation on custody battles, and her emotional volatility during the weeks before Dan Markel’s murder. The details are unsettling: sudden trip cancellations, meltdowns triggered by legal filings, and a persistent sense of dread that seemed to hang over Wendy’s every move. Tony and his co-hosts dissect this testimony carefully, connecting Wendy’s behavior to the broader timeline of the case. Was this simply the stress of a messy divorce, or were these signs of something darker brewing in the background? The conversation avoids sensationalism, instead focusing on what the testimony reveals about human behavior under pressure — and how the actions of one family, guided by resentment and control, created a powder keg waiting to explode. For those following the Markel case closely, this segment highlights how important small details can be in understanding the larger picture.

Wendy Adelson’s Divorce From Dan Markel: Secrets REVEALED!
Wendy Adelson’s Divorce From Dan Markel: Secrets REVEALED! In this opening segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, the foundation of the Dan Markel murder case is laid bare. Before the shooting, before the arrests, before the shocking headlines, there was a bitter divorce — and in those filings, a story of manipulation, alienation, and escalating conflict begins to emerge. Tony breaks down the allegations Dan Markel leveled against Wendy Adelson during their divorce, exploring how these disputes over custody, communication, and money paint a picture of mounting tension between two very different visions of family life. The discussion also touches on how divorce itself often becomes a destructive force. Tony and his co-hosts reflect on the way emotions can spiral, how costly legal battles can take on lives of their own, and how bitterness can consume everyone involved. The Adelson case may be extreme, but its roots — the ugly side of family court — are painfully relatable for many listeners. With this backdrop set, the stage is prepared for the testimony of Wendy’s ex-boyfriend, Jeff Lacasse, whose perspective adds a deeply personal layer to the unraveling of the Adelson family’s secrets. This first segment is both context and cautionary tale: when divorce becomes a weapon, lives can be destroyed long before a crime is ever committed.

Big Breakdown: Inside the Aftermath of Charlie Kirks’ Murder
Big Breakdown: Inside the Aftermath of Charlie Kirks’ Murder The assassination of Charlie Kirks has shaken America in a way few acts of political violence have in recent memory. In this Big Breakdown on Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we go inside the case with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to analyze the evidence, the psychology, and the aftermath. According to prosecutors, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson allegedly acted alone, deciding in just over a week to build his weapon, target Kirks, and carry out the murder. Investigators say he left a handwritten note, later destroyed by his partner, Lance Twigs — though a photographed copy remains central to the case. Add to that a chilling set of text messages where Robinson casually confessed — worrying more about his grandfather’s rifle and fingerprints than the fact he had just killed a man — and the picture becomes even darker. Coffindaffer breaks down why these texts matter, how the FBI will scrutinize the destroyed note, and why the “sloppiness” of this crime actually reinforces the lone wolf threat the Bureau has warned about for decades. This wasn’t a sophisticated plot with layers of planning — it was impulsive, callous, and terrifyingly easy to pull off. Then, Shavaun Scott joins the conversation to discuss why this assassination feels different for so many Americans. Why does the killing of a controversial but mainstream political commentator resonate across the political spectrum? What does it reveal about polarization, rage culture, and the addictive pull of online outrage? And why are conspiracy theories already flooding the conversation before the investigation is even complete? From the evidence on the ground to the broader cultural fallout, this episode explores both the criminal case against Robinson and the collective anxiety gripping America in the wake of Charlie Kirks’ murder.

Wendi Adelson’s Custody War: The Papers Dan Markel Never Lived to File
Wendi Adelson’s Custody War: The Papers Dan Markel Never Lived to File In July 2014, Florida State law professor Dan Markel was gunned down in his own driveway — a brutal murder that shocked Tallahassee and the entire legal world. For years, the question of why lingered. Now, attorney Stephen Webster, who represented Dan during his bitter custody battle with ex-wife Wendi Adelson, is revealing the chilling truth about what was supposed to happen the morning of the murder. Webster says he and Dan had “damning paperwork” ready to file against Wendi Adelson — filings that could have changed everything in their custody war. According to Webster, these filings allegedly included motions to restrict Wendi’s custody, contempt claims for violating parenting orders, and evidence of how much her family was controlling the fight. In short, it was a direct threat to the Adelsons’ grip over Dan’s two young sons. But those papers never made it to court. That morning, Dan was ambushed and shot twice in the head, killed before the filings could be stamped by a judge. With Donna and Charlie Adelson now convicted in the murder plot, the timing of the attack looks chilling in hindsight. The motive wasn’t abstract. It was immediate. The Adelsons allegedly acted to stop legal documents that could expose their interference and weaken Wendi’s custody case. This episode dives deep into the story of the paperwork that never got filed — how it may have played into motive, how it allegedly sealed Dan’s fate, and how one family’s obsession with control led to one of the most notorious murder-for-hire cases in Florida history. Was Dan Markel killed not just for who he was, but for what he was about to do in court? 🔑 Hashtags #DanMarkel #WendiAdelson #AdelsonFamily #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #MurderForHire #CustodyBattle #JusticeForDan #CourtFilings #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Body Found in D4vd’s Tesla: The Full Story of Celeste Rivas Hernandez
Body Found in D4vd’s Tesla: The Full Story of Celeste Rivas Hernandez On September 8, 2025, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed the identity of a body discovered in a Tesla registered to singer D4vd (David Anthony Burke). The victim was 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who had been reported missing in April 2024 from Lake Elsinore, California. The Tesla had been towed two days earlier from a Hollywood street and impounded. When staff at the tow yard noticed a foul odor, police were called. Inside the trunk, they found Celeste’s remains, severely decomposed and wrapped inside a bag. Investigators immediately launched an intensive probe into how a missing teenager ended up in a car belonging to one of music’s fastest-rising stars. Within days, LAPD served a search warrant at a Hollywood Hills residence where D4vd had been staying, seizing items for forensic review. As of late September, no charges have been filed and no suspects named. The cause and manner of Celeste’s death remain pending, awaiting full autopsy results. The discovery has shaken two very different communities: the music industry, where D4vd had just released his debut album Withered earlier this year, and Lake Elsinore, where Celeste’s family and friends held a candlelight vigil on September 22 to honor her life and demand justice. This episode of Hidden Killers takes you through the full story, from the tow lot to the vigil, with careful attention to what is confirmed and what remains unknown. We explore how investigators are piecing together the forensic timeline, what post-offense concealment can reveal in a case like this, and why the human cost—the loss of a 15-year-old girl—is what matters most. This is not about sensationalism. It’s about accountability, community, and the pursuit of justice for Celeste.
