When Justice Fails | Bryan Kohberger’s Profits & The Abby Zwerner Trial-WEEK IN REVIEW

Security footage: a nine-year-old in a gray hoodie and wig beside her mother at a Lompoc rental-car counter. Three days later, the mother returns — alone. In this Hidden Killers round-table, Tony Brueski and the team dissect the road-trip timeline that has investigators racing from California to Nebraska and Kansas. Why disguise a child? Why drive 1,500 miles and come home without her? And why hasn’t Ashlee Buzzard been charged? We’ll walk through the digital trail — credit-card pings, cell data, GPS logs, and OnStar records — the forensic bread crumbs the FBI is now reconstructing minute by minute. We’ll also examine what investigators look for in recovered vehicles, why restraint in arrests sometimes protects a case, and how public pressure can derail careful forensic work. This isn’t speculation — it’s a forensic autopsy of a mystery still unfolding. #HiddenKillers #MelodeeBuzzard #AshleeBuzzard #TonyBrueski #FBI #TrueCrimePodcast #MissingPerson #Lompoc #Nebraska #ForensicInvestigation #DigitalForensics #GroupDiscussion Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the shocking aftermath of Donna Adelson’s life sentence and Charlie Adelson’s conviction, one name still hangs in the air: Wendi Adelson. Dan Markel was murdered in 2014, shot in his Tallahassee driveway amid a vicious custody battle. The plot has been proven. The masterminds have been convicted. The money trail is mapped. And yet, the woman at the center of the motive — Wendi Adelson, Markel’s ex-wife — remains uncharged. Why? In this Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski deep-dive, we break down what could actually trigger charges against Wendi. From the missing digital breadcrumbs investigators are still hunting for, to the financial threads that could expose her involvement, to the possibility that her own mother might one day flip — this is the story of how close the final Adelson may be to losing her freedom. We examine the fragile line between suspicion and evidence, the psychological toll of living as the “unindicted co-conspirator,” and the quiet calculations happening behind the scenes at the State Attorney’s Office. What happens if Donna decides to talk? If an old phone backup surfaces? If a single email connects the dots? This episode doesn’t speculate — it investigates. We strip away the noise to reveal the three triggers that could finally end Wendi Adelson’s long run outside the courtroom:  1️⃣ A digital link proving coordination.  2️⃣ A financial trail tying her to the payoff.  3️⃣ A cooperating witness naming her outright. Until one of those surfaces, Wendi remains the Adelson who walked free. But freedom built on silence doesn’t last forever.

How does a child disappear while every agency insists it’s “following policy”? Tonight on Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and the panel trace the bureaucratic breakdown that let Melodee Buzzard, 9, fade from every official record. Complaints were filed. CPS was warned. The school marked her “independent study.” And still, no one saw her for more than a year. We unpack the entire chain of failure — from overloaded caseworkers and loophole homeschooling laws to judges demanding “visible danger” before approving removals. The grandmother reported rotting food and filth; social workers logged a “monitor.” By the time anyone knocked again, Melodee was gone. Now the FBI is digging through her mother’s Lompoc home, a storage unit, and a rental car that traveled 1,500 miles — searching for proof of what happened. This isn’t just one tragedy. It’s a blueprint for how neglect hides in plain sight when red tape replaces common sense. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #MelodeeBuzzard #CPS #ChildProtection #California #SystemFailure #TrueCrimeToday #LawAndCrime #MissingChild #FBIInvestigation #GroupDiscussion Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sean “Diddy” Combs built an empire out of power, fame, and the memory of his closest friend — The Notorious B.I.G. But according to a new police report and civil lawsuit, the man once seen as hip-hop royalty may have crossed a line that can never be uncrossed. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we break down the disturbing new allegations against Diddy — ones that strike at the heart of his public legacy. A Florida police report details a horrifying scene: a warehouse filled with Biggie’s preserved clothing, a private “listening session,” and an act so vile it’s hard to process. The victim, a music producer known as “John Doe,” claims Diddy pleasured himself under one of Biggie’s shirts — then threw it at him, saying “Rest in peace, Biggie.” Later, the man says he was attacked again in Hollywood Hills by Combs himself in a terrifying scene of violence and humiliation. These allegations aren’t just shocking — they’re symbolic. Because this time, the power Diddy allegedly abused wasn’t only over people, but over legacy. Over memory. Over the ghost of a man whose name he’s profited from for decades. With over 50 civil suits now linked to Diddy — spanning decades of alleged coercion, grooming, and assault — this latest claim could be the final crack in the myth of invincibility he’s carefully maintained. Diddy, now serving time at FCI Fort Dix on federal prostitution charges, faces a collapsing empire, mounting legal pressure, and a legacy forever tainted. Tony Brueski exposes the dark psychology of power, control, and the weaponization of legacy that runs through this case — and why this moment may finally force the music industry to reckon with the monsters it crowned as kings.

Melodee Buzzard’s disappearance isn’t an anomaly — it’s the warning sign of a statewide collapse. Between 2019 and 2022, California’s public-school rolls dropped by 270,000 students. Roughly 150,000 of them remain unaccounted for in any school, private affidavit, or relocation record. They didn’t all move — many simply vanished from the data, the same way Melodee vanished from oversight. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and the panel connect the dots between one missing-child case and the larger crisis of invisible minors. We’ll analyze state education reports, CPS workload numbers, and how “independent study” loopholes became a hiding place for abuse and neglect. We’ll also ask the uncomfortable question: If a state can lose track of 150,000 children on paper, how many are in real danger off the record? This is not fear-mongering — it’s a forensic look at bureaucratic blindness and the cultural apathy that lets it continue. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #MelodeeBuzzard #GreatVanishing #MissingKids #CaliforniaCPS #EducationCrisis #SystemFailure #TrueCrimeToday #LawAndCrime #GroupDiscussion #PostCovid #DataInvestigation #ChildSafety Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
