Homicide Ruling Explained: What It Means in the D4vd–Celeste Case

Netflix’s Unknown Number FULL STORY: Catfish Mom Kendra Licari EXPOSED Netflix’s Unknown Number: The High School Catfish tells one of the most disturbing true crime stories in years. In Beal City, Michigan, high schooler Lauren Licari and her boyfriend Owen were bombarded with anonymous texts — 40 to 50 a day — spreading lies, insults, and chilling threats. The community panicked. The FBI stepped in. And the shocking truth emerged: the stalker wasn’t a jealous classmate. It was Lauren’s own mother, Kendra Licari. In this full Hidden Killers breakdown, Tony Brueski and Carol Hughes walk through the entire story — from the anonymous messages and investigation to Kendra’s exposure, narcissistic manipulation, and the devastating fallout for her daughter, Owen, and the entire Beal City community. This is the full case analysis you need to watch before or after Netflix’s Unknown Number. #Netflix #UnknownNumber #KendraLicari #LaurenLicari #Owen #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #truecrime #catfish #cyberbullying Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Did Corruption Drive Sheriff Stines to Murder a Judge? In the second half of this Hidden Killers Live special, Tony Brueski and defense attorney/former prosecutor Eric Faddis explore the darker backdrop of the Mickey Stines case: explosive corruption allegations inside the courthouse. From sexual coercion claims to systemic abuse of power, the discussion asks whether Stine's alleged mental collapse was driven by exposure to a rotten system — or whether he acted with motive and control. The panel debates the steep uphill battle of an insanity defense, especially with video showing Stines acting methodically in the moments before pulling the trigger. They also analyze the difficulty of investigating corruption in a small community where silence, retaliation, and rumor rule. At stake is more than one man’s fate — this case is becoming a referendum on the credibility of the justice system itself, and whether the community can trust its own courts again.

Sheriff Mickey Stines: Paranoia, Shooting, and Grand Jury Secrets In this explosive first half, Hidden Killers Live unpacks the case of Sheriff Mickey Stines — the Kentucky lawman who shocked his community by shooting Judge Kevin Mullins inside his own chambers. Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, Todd Michaels, and defense attorney/former prosecutor Eric Faddis break down newly unsealed grand jury transcripts that reveal key evidence was withheld, including a mental health diagnosis the day before the shooting. The team dissects raw footage of Stines in the courthouse hallway, showing a paranoid, unstable man immediately after the crime. They also examine how the secretive grand jury process may have denied jurors crucial information, why jail intake records describing Stines as “actively psychotic” matter, and how community rumors risk poisoning a fair trial. This segment explores the psychological unraveling of a sheriff — and whether justice itself was compromised before the trial even began.

Why We Turn to Conspiracies After Tragedy? Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott Explains In this final segment, the Hidden Killers Live team unpacks the psychological pull of conspiracy theories following the Charlie Kirk assassination. Shavaun Scott explains why the human brain craves certainty after chaos, and how conspiracy thinking offers both a sense of control and emotional escape. Tony Brueski and his co-hosts reflect on the hopelessness many feel in today’s polarized climate, the erosion of problem-solving in leadership, and the psychological cost of living in constant fear. The episode closes with the FBI’s press conference, revealing new investigative details — but the focus remains on the psychology of coping, control, and collective anxiety when violence shatters the national psyche.
