6-Year-Old School Shooting Trial: Abby Zwerner v. Ebony Parker — Day 1 Part 4

Full FBI Behavioral Breakdown of Donna Adelson — Robin Dreeke Interview This is the full story of Donna Adelson’s unraveling—told through behavior, psychology, and decades of emotional control. In this complete interview with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, we examine every layer of the Adelson family: the cold reaction to the undercover bump, the manipulation of her children, the narcissistic courtroom performance, and the chilling codependence with Charlie Adelson. This isn’t just a recap—it’s a behavioral autopsy. Robin breaks down what law enforcement saw in Donna that the public is only beginning to understand: a woman whose reactions betray her, whose family is programmed to obey, and whose carefully crafted identity is crumbling under the weight of exposure. We explore the signs of narcissism, the psychological tools she used to control her kids, and why the jury might be seeing through all of it. You’ll hear the whole arc—from the moment Donna didn’t panic, to the moment her children started to turn. This is the Hidden Killers exclusive everyone’s talking about. Full interview.

Donna Adelson on Trial: Mastermind Or Losing Her Mind? A grandmother. A custody battle. A cold-blooded killing. And now, a trial that could finally reveal who really orchestrated the murder of Dan Markel. In this comprehensive episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski sits down with defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis to break down the most compelling elements of the case against Donna Adelson. From the emotionally distant testimony of her own children… to the 44 paychecks she allegedly signed for a murder-for-hire intermediary… to a suspicious one-way ticket to Vietnam… this case is stacked with bizarre twists and damning behavior. But is it enough to convict? Eric and Tony explore the strategies on both sides of the courtroom—how the prosecution is painting Donna as the mastermind, and how the defense is desperately trying to reframe her as a grandmother in over her head. If you want to understand the psychology, the evidence, and the legal stakes of one of the most fascinating murder trials in recent memory, this is the episode that brings it all together.

FBI Profiler Reveals Twisted Mother-Son Bond Between Donna & Charlie Adelson The most disturbing part of the Donna Adelson case isn’t just the murder. It’s her deeply unhealthy emotional grip on her son, Charlie. In this final chapter of our four-part interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke helps us unpack the enmeshed, codependent dynamic that may have fueled a murder-for-hire plot. We explore the psychology of emotional incest—not sexual, but psychological—and how Donna used fear, guilt, and lifelong programming to keep her son obedient into his 40s. This was no ordinary mother-son relationship. This was psychological domination dressed up as maternal love. Robin walks us through the patterns of grooming, control, and total emotional fusion that made Charlie the perfect foot soldier for a plan he may not have even questioned. We talk about Wendy’s role, Harvey’s absence, and the chilling possibility that this family has been living in Donna’s shadow for decades. This isn’t just a crime—it’s a generational collapse. And now, the entire Adelson empire is falling apart, one testimony at a time. Subscribe for more expert analysis, only on Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski.

Donna Adelson Trial: Prosecution Rebuttal Hammers Final Blows | Hidden Killers Live Round three in the Donna Adelson trial belonged to the state — and prosecutor Georgia Cappleman did not hold back. In this final segment of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels, we cover the prosecution’s rebuttal closing argument and the aftermath as the jury heads into deliberations. Highlights include: Cappleman dismantling the defense’s contradictions — from the “TV repair” code to Donna’s planner and 44 checks signed with her name. The infamous “two of us” wiretap line, used to tie Donna directly into the conspiracy. The chilling email where Donna claimed Dan Markel’s young son wasn’t sad about his father’s murder — a window into her cold, narcissistic mindset. A fiery finale where Cappleman reminds jurors: it’s powdered sugar — she’s covered in it. Panel breakdown of the defense’s collapse, Donna’s narcissism on full display, and speculation on what this means for Wendy and Harvey Adelson. Predictions on jury deliberations, verdict timing, and the psychological fallout of a narcissist facing collapse. Do you think Georgia Cappleman’s rebuttal sealed Donna Adelson’s fate? Let us know in the comments. Watch Hidden Killers Live weekdays, 10AM–Noon CST, for real-time courtroom coverage, sharp analysis, and unfiltered panel reactions.
