Is Harvey Adelson Next? The Unindicted Shadow in the Markel Murder Plot
Harvey Adelson hasn’t been charged. But he’s far from forgotten. In this episode, we walk the razor’s edge of what the evidence actually says about Harvey Adelson—the patriarch of a family fractured by murder, scandal, and courtroom spectacle. From wiretaps and Zelle subpoenas to call-detail records and coded texts, we examine the mounting circumstantial web that places Harvey near the center of a conspiracy that has already led to multiple life sentences. We dissect: • Messages about a "birthday present" that prosecutors say point to premeditated planning • Call records placing Harvey’s number in contact with key figures in the murder plot • Wiretap approvals and jailhouse testimony naming him in alleged obstruction • Zelle account activity and witness tampering claims • The Vietnam jet bridge arrest with Donna—was it awareness or coincidence? This is not a story of guilt by association. It’s a careful, fact-based analysis of what’s already in the public record—and whether it’s enough to tip the scales toward indictment. Because in the Markel murder case, silence isn’t the same as innocence. It’s just the part of the story waiting to be told. #HarveyAdelson #DanMarkelMurder #UnindictedCoConspirator #AdelsonFamily #TrueCrimePodcast #ConspiracyCase #WitnessTampering #ZelleTransfers #MarkelJustice #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna Adelson’s Sentencing Was a Masterclass in Narcissism
Donna Adelson was sentenced to life in prison—but you wouldn’t know it by her behavior in court. What was meant to be a solemn moment of justice turned into a shocking display of entitlement, arrogance, and complete lack of remorse. In this episode, we break down the bizarre spectacle of Donna’s sentencing. From her declaration of innocence to her scolding of the jury and the judge, Donna seemed more interested in controlling the narrative than accepting her fate. But it didn’t end there—her husband Harvey doubled down with a tone-deaf rant blaming the system, the media, and the world for their downfall. We cover: • Donna’s courtroom performance—defiance over remorse • Judge Everett’s powerful rebuttal • Harvey Adelson’s surreal tirade • The parade of tone-deaf “supporters” • The contrast with the Markel family’s grace and silence This wasn’t justice denied—it was justice exposed. A family so consumed by narcissism, they turned a sentencing hearing into a theater of delusion. #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #MarkelMurder #CourtroomDrama #AdelsonFamily #LifeSentence #TrueCrimeAnalysis #NarcissismInCourt #JusticeForDan #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Ellen Greenberg COVER-UP CONTINUES, Despite Public Pressure
There’s no way around it — the 2025 Ellen Greenberg report is a system defending itself, not an honest reevaluation of a suspicious death. Ellen Greenberg was 27, engaged, and planning a wedding when she was found with 23 wounds. Years later, after national media coverage, civil litigation, and public pressure, the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office claimed to conduct an “independent review.” The result? No change. Still suicide. Still silence on the most disturbing details. In this powerful breakdown, defense attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole to take apart the legal language, institutional incentives, and forensic deflections used to make this ruling appear conclusive. They explore how government agencies rewrite their own mistakes — and why Ellen’s case is one of the most chilling examples of procedural finality being used as a weapon. The public deserves better. Ellen’s family deserves the truth. And this episode holds nothing back. #EllenGreenberg #JusticeForEllenGreenberg #EllenGreenbergCase #BobMotta #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TruthNotClosure #ForensicReviewFail #SystemProtectsItself #TrueCrimeAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why Did Bryan Kohberger Really Plead Guilty? The Family Factor?
Why did Bryan Kohberger suddenly plead guilty after nearly two years of pretrial warfare? The answer might be more personal—and more psychological—than legal. In this breakdown, we explore how the revelation that Kohberger’s sister, Amanda, was on the prosecution’s witness list may have triggered a collapse in his carefully controlled defense. For a man driven by dominance, image, and manipulation, the prospect of family testifying against him may have cut deeper than any courtroom battle. We unpack: • The timeline between Amanda being listed and Kohberger's plea • What his control-obsessed behavior says about the psychology of his decision • How avoiding a trial may have spared his family—and preserved his own narcissistic narrative • The legal pressures: failed suppression motions, damning DNA rulings, and an inevitable death penalty trial • The psychology of narcissistic collapse and what it looks like when the mask slips Was it guilt, fear, or one last act of ego-driven control disguised as mercy? This is the deeper story behind Kohberger’s plea—and what it says about him. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #KohbergerGuilty #CriminalPsychology #TrueCrimeBreakdown #KohbergerFamily #ControlAndCollapse #TrueCrimePodcast #PsychologicalProfile #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ellen Greenberg: The 2025 Report That Protects Power, Not Truth
The name Ellen Greenberg has come to represent something larger than a single case — it’s now a symbol of what happens when systems prioritize self-protection over truth. In 2025, the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office released a highly anticipated “independent review” of Ellen’s death — only to double down on the original ruling of suicide. Despite 23 wounds, unanswered questions, and growing national outrage, the system closed ranks once again. In this episode, criminal defense attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole to unpack why this report has so many legal experts — and the public — demanding accountability. Together, they break down how the language of “reasonable certainty” shields agencies from scrutiny, why internal reviews rarely lead to justice, and how Ellen’s case reflects a larger failure in forensic oversight. This isn’t just about one ruling. This is about how easy it is to rewrite reality when no one wants to face the cost of being wrong. If you’ve followed the Ellen Greenberg case, this conversation gives voice to everything the report tried to quiet. And if you haven’t? This is where you need to start. #EllenGreenberg #JusticeForEllenGreenberg #EllenGreenbergCase #HiddenKillers #BobMotta #TonyBrueski #ForensicFailure #InstitutionalCoverup #TrueCrimePodcast #SystemicFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patrick McManus & Michael Chernus on Telling Gacy’s Victims’ Stories In Peacock Series
Most true crime stories fall into the same trap—fixating on the killer, sensationalizing the violence, and leaving victims as footnotes. Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy doesn’t play that game. In this episode, we sit down with executive producer Patrick McManus, actor Michael Chernus, and attorney/podcaster Bob Motta to talk about how this new Peacock series does something different. Something overdue. It centers the victims. It challenges the system. And it strips the monster of his myth. We explore the challenges of dramatizing a case with so much historical weight. McManus shares how the writers chose to humanize the victims through standalone narrative arcs. Chernus discusses the internal conflict of embodying Gacy without glorifying him. And Motta opens up about inheriting his father’s defense tapes and hearing, for himself, the voice of a man who had no remorse, no empathy, and no soul. This is one of the most grounded, respectful, and important retellings of a true crime story in years. And we’re honored to bring you the story behind the series. #DevilInDisguise #PeacockGacySeries #TrueCrimeDoneRight #VictimCentered #JohnWayneGacy #BobMotta #DefenseDiaries #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #GacyDrama Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ellen Greenberg Report DESTROYED by Its Own Logic: What Are They Hiding?
The death of Ellen Greenberg has haunted Philadelphia for over a decade—but now, a new 2025 “independent” review by the same Medical Examiner’s Office that once ruled her death a homicide, then reversed itself, has reignited public outrage. In this episode, we break down the new 32-page report by Dr. Lindsay Simon—billed as a “fresh look”—and expose just how deeply embedded bias and institutional self-preservation appear to be in its findings. From selective evidence interpretation to implausible forensic leaps, the review paints a troubling picture of a system investigating itself and calling it justice. We dissect the major red flags: • The knife in her chest, 20+ stab wounds—some in the back—and a locked apartment • Claims of “no signs of struggle,” despite over 30 bruises on Ellen’s body • The “spinal cord artifact” explanation that dismisses incapacitation • Psychological characterizations based on anxiety—not suicidal ideation • How this report dismisses experts, overlooks key inconsistencies, and leans on confirmation bias Is this truly an objective review? Or is it a bureaucratic performance designed to close the book and shield the city from liability? We’re unpacking every flaw, contradiction, and narrative sleight-of-hand in a case that refuses to stay silent. #EllenGreenberg #TrueCrime #MedicalExaminer #JusticeForEllen #PhiladelphiaCrime #ForensicFailure #CoverUp #WrongfulDeath #TrueCrimePodcast #DatelineStyle Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The NEW Ellen Greenberg Report Is Filled With Lies and Suspension Of Reality
If the system’s goal was to quiet the Ellen Greenberg case with one last official ruling — it failed. Badly. The 2025 report from Philadelphia’s Medical Examiner, reclassifying nothing and explaining even less, is now being dissected by the people who understand just how dangerous this kind of language can be. In this episode, defense attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole to pull the curtain back on how institutions like the M.E.’s office use carefully worded findings to sidestep accountability. They examine what the report conveniently redefines, what it conveniently omits, and why this case now represents a larger crisis in public trust. This isn’t theory. This is what happens when legal self-preservation takes precedence over factual clarity — and it’s playing out in plain sight. The Ellen Greenberg case isn’t just unsolved. It’s being strategically sealed shut. #EllenGreenberg #JusticeForEllenGreenberg #EllenGreenbergCase #BobMotta #HiddenKillersPodcast #TrueCrimeTruth #SystemicFailure #MedicalExaminerReport #InstitutionalDeflection #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
