Letters from the Dark: Donna Adelson’s Prison Plea & Chad Daybell’s Ghost Confession-WEEK IN REVIEW

Letters from the Dark: Donna Adelson’s Prison Plea & Chad Daybell’s Ghost Confession-WEEK IN REVIEW

In this full episode of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels take you inside the minds of two of America’s most notorious convicted murderers — Donna Adelson and Chad Daybell — through the words they wrote themselves.

Segment 1: Donna Adelson’s Prison Letter
From a Florida jail cell, Donna Adelson wrote a 2024 letter to her husband Harvey describing how her heart “breaks” over missing her grandsons’ first day of school. What could have been a rare glimpse of remorse quickly spirals into denial and bitterness:

“If I don’t get out, then hopefully I die soon so no one remembers me in prison garb.”

She paints herself as the victim of “vigilante justice” and a “southern sweetheart prosecutor,” refusing to accept any role in the plot that left her former son-in-law, Dan Markel, dead.
The Markel family’s official statement, read in court, shredded that illusion — accusing Donna of callous indifference and of cutting off Markel’s parents from their grandsons for six years.
Tony unpacks the psychology of control, image management, and moral blindness that define the Adelson saga — and why Donna’s letter might be the most revealing confession she never meant to write.

Segment 2: Chad Daybell’s Ghost Story Letter
Then, we shift from manipulation to mysticism. In “Letter #7,” Chad Daybell — the self-proclaimed prophet now convicted of multiple murders — recounts his time as a Utah cemetery sexton.
He writes of being haunted by a thief’s ghost, attacked by unseen forces, and taunted by demonic voices shouting, “We hate your books!” He interprets it all as proof that Heaven had chosen him for a divine mission.
Tony dissects how this “ghost story” maps the arc of Daybell’s descent — from fantasy and grandiosity to apocalyptic belief — showing how delusion and ego fused into a theology that justified murder.

Two letters. Two minds. One terrifying common thread: a total inability to see reality — or remorse — through the walls they built around themselves.

From 9/11 Unity to Charlie Kirk's Political Assassination: FBI’s Robin Dreeke Warns America

From 9/11 Unity to Charlie Kirk's Political Assassination: FBI’s Robin Dreeke Warns America

From 9/11 Unity to Charlie Kirk's Political Assassination: FBI’s Robin Dreeke Warns America Twenty-four years ago, America stood shoulder-to-shoulder in the aftermath of 9/11. Today, after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, we are more divided, more tribal, and more fragile than ever. What happened? And can we get back what we lost? In this powerful Hidden Killers Live segment, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke reflects on his experiences during 9/11, when strangers lined highways to hand water and masks to first responders. He remembers a time when politics didn’t matter — when all that mattered was unity and humanity. Then he contrasts it with today’s America, where political violence is no longer unthinkable. Dreeke explains how foreign adversaries exploit these fractures with disinformation campaigns, why leadership in law enforcement can model the way forward, and how ordinary people can “find the greatness” in each other before rage turns deadly. The lesson is stark: unity is possible, but only if we fight for it. And the assassination of Charlie Kirk may be the wake-up call America desperately needs. #CharlieKirk #TylerRobinson #FBI #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #PoliticalViolence #TrueCrime #Unity #911 #LawEnforcement Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

FBI Behavioral Secrets: Robin Dreeke on How Tribalism Created Charlie Kirk's Assassin

FBI Behavioral Secrets: Robin Dreeke on How Tribalism Created Charlie Kirk's Assassin

FBI Behavioral Secrets: Robin Dreeke on How Tribalism Created Charlie Kirk's Assassin  In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the arrest of Tyler Robinson has raised urgent questions: how does a seemingly normal young man radicalize to the point of murder? And why didn’t anyone — friends, family, community — stop him sooner? On Hidden Killers Live, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke delivers a chilling answer: we’ve lost curiosity. In a culture where tribalism dominates and polarization defines entire generations, people don’t listen anymore — they divide, isolate, and double down on rage. And in those echo chambers, violence becomes thinkable. Dreeke shares the FBI’s hard-won lessons from interviewing killers and terrorists: you cannot understand someone if you lead with judgment. Curiosity, empathy, and dialogue are not “soft skills” — they are survival tools. They are how agents get confessions. They are how families intervene before tragedy. And they are how society defuses political violence before it explodes. This is not about excusing Robinson’s crime. It is about exposing the broken pathways that produced him — and confronting the reality that more young men are walking those same roads right now. Dreeke explains how tribalism feeds itself online, how curiosity can stop radicalization in its tracks, and why America’s inability to communicate across divides is fueling its darkest crimes. This is the side of the story you won’t hear on cable news. #CharlieKirk #TylerRobinson #FBI #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #Tribalism #PoliticalViolence #Dialogue #TrueCrime #Radicalization Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why America Is a Powder Keg: FBI Expert Robin Dreeke on the Charlie Kirk Assassination

Why America Is a Powder Keg: FBI Expert Robin Dreeke on the Charlie Kirk Assassination

Why America Is a Powder Keg: FBI Expert Robin Dreeke on the Charlie Kirk Assassination  What drives an ordinary 22-year-old to pick up a rifle, engrave bizarre messages on bullet casings, and assassinate a political figure in broad daylight? Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke says the answer is rage — rage without outlet, rage without problem-solving skills, rage fueled by the toxic echo chambers of online radicalization. In this Hidden Killers Live segment, Dreeke breaks down how Robinson’s path to violence reflects a dangerous pattern sweeping the country. With social media replacing real human connection, young men are falling deeper into cycles of isolation, resentment, and fantasy violence. When life doesn’t go their way, when they feel “less than,” when no one teaches them to cope — rage becomes their only language. Dreeke warns that millions are sitting in that same headspace right now, feeling helpless but primed to lash out. He explains how the FBI has studied these pathways for years, and why healthy outlets — hobbies, strong relationships, physical activity, meaningful connection — aren’t just “nice to have.” They are lifelines that stop broken people from snapping. This isn’t just about Tyler Robinson. This is about the tinderbox America is sitting on today. And if we don’t address it, more violence is inevitable. #CharlieKirk #TylerRobinson #FBI #RobinDreeke #Radicalization #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #PoliticalViolence #SocialMedia #Anger Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

FBI Insider Reveals the Truth Behind Tyler Robinson’s Arrest in Charlie Kirk Assassination

FBI Insider Reveals the Truth Behind Tyler Robinson’s Arrest in Charlie Kirk Assassination

FBI Insider Reveals the Truth Behind Tyler Robinson’s Arrest in Charlie Kirk Assassination  The nation is reeling after the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk — and the FBI has moved with lightning speed to arrest a suspect. Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah, is now in custody, but the story is far from over. In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels to break down what happened behind the scenes — and why this arrest is unlike anything we’ve seen in recent years. Dreeke, who once led the FBI’s Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, shares his first reaction to the FBI’s response, calling it one of the most coordinated, high-tempo operations in memory. He explains how Robinson left a trail of mistakes, why his father’s devastating decision to turn him in is a rare but critical act, and what it all reveals about the broken psychology of lone-wolf assassins. But this isn’t just about one man. This is about how law enforcement, under extreme pressure, can either build public trust or destroy it. Dreeke pulls no punches as he contrasts this FBI operation with chaotic responses from the past — and explains why, for once, the system worked. This is the raw, unfiltered FBI insight you won’t hear anywhere else. #CharlieKirk #TylerRobinson #FBI #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #PoliticalViolence #Arrest #TrueCrime #LawEnforcement #BreakingNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
