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

As Brian Walshe’s competency hearing looms, a new question is taking over the courtroom: is he really unable to stand trial—or is this just another con from a man who’s been manipulating people his entire life? In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we revisit the evidence that started it all. The disturbing Google searches like “10 ways to dispose of a body,” “Hacksaw best tool to dismember,” and “Can you be charged with murder without a body.” The Home Depot trip caught on camera. The blood in the basement, the broken knife, the trash bags full of evidence—all of it pointing to a carefully constructed cover-up following the disappearance of Ana Walshe on New Year’s Day, 2023. We also dig into Walshe’s long history of fraud, deceit, and manipulation—from the Andy Warhol art scam to the conflicting stories he spun after Ana vanished. And now, after a jailhouse stabbing that left him claiming trauma and confusion, the defense says he’s too impaired to participate in his trial. But is this genuine mental decline—or yet another strategy to delay the inevitable? Tony breaks down the psychology of control, the legal threshold for competency, and the patterns that define serial manipulators like Walshe. This case isn’t about memory loss or confusion—it’s about whether the justice system can recognize when it’s being played. ⚖️ Walshe remains presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Authorities in Los Angeles are unraveling a chilling true crime case that began with the discovery of a 14-year-old girl’s body inside the trunk—known as the “frunk”—of a Tesla owned by recording artist David, a popular social media personality with a massive following. The victim, identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez, had been missing for months before her severely decomposed remains were found sealed inside a black trash bag in the front compartment of the car. Former FBI agent and true crime analyst Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the disturbing evidence and the unanswered questions surrounding this case. Was this an accident, a cover-up, or something far darker? Despite widespread reports that the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has yet to determine the cause or manner of Celeste’s death, the circumstances surrounding her discovery have left both investigators and the public horrified. Coffindaffer details how the Tesla was towed after being parked near David’s home for an extended period, the odor of decay leading police to the grisly discovery. The body—reportedly weighing only 70 pounds due to severe decomposition—was found in a space barely large enough to fit golf clubs, suggesting possible dismemberment or deliberate concealment. Evidence was later seized from David’s home under a search warrant, though investigators have not confirmed whether the crime occurred there. Experts in forensic entomology and anthropology are now examining the remains to determine how long Celeste had been dead and whether her injuries point to foul play. Comparisons have been made to other high-profile cases, including Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie, as investigators race to uncover what really happened to the young teen who reportedly first connected with David through social media when she was just 12 years old. This heartbreaking story exposes the dark side of online fame and exploitation, as questions mount about how a child’s life ended in such a horrific way. Was it negligence, grooming, or a calculated act of violence? As new forensic results come to light, the world waits for justice for Celeste Rivas Hernandez. #CelesteRivasHernandez #TrueCrime #JenniferCoffindaffer #TeslaCase #BreakingNews #ForensicInvestigation #JusticeForCeleste #CrimeWatch #MissingPerson #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Lonoke County Prosecutor is calling it vigilante justice. The defense calls it a father protecting his child. In this Hidden Killers interview, Tony Brueski and Bob Motta unpack the State’s new filing in the Aaron Spencer case — a motion to use body-cam footage recorded three months before the shooting. In it, Spencer, furious after learning his daughter had been assaulted, tells deputies he doesn’t trust the system and says, “Sometimes you’ve got to handle things yourself.” The prosecution wants those words played for jurors as proof of premeditation. The defense argues they show grief and disbelief, not intent. Bob Motta explains how prosecutors use Rule 404(b) to sway perception, how the defense fights back, and why this single piece of evidence could define the case. This is the battle over emotion versus law, instinct versus restraint — and what happens when the justice system fails before a father ever pulls the trigger. #HiddenKillers #BobMotta #AaronSpencer #TonyBrueski #TrueCrime #ArkansasCase #VigilanteOrProtector #JusticeSystem #Rule404b #SelfDefense Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

They thought they were saving a life. Jennifer and Robbie Tower opened their Florida home to a 14-year-old orphan from Ukraine — a boy they believed they could love into healing. Eight years later, that same boy is accused of murdering them in cold blood. This is the chilling story behind what the media is calling “The Evil Orphan” case. Prosecutors say Dima Tower, now 21, slaughtered his adoptive parents inside their North Port home, leaving them lying head-to-head on the floor, surrounded by blood. Then he allegedly fled the scene, leading police on a high-speed chase down I-75 before being caught at a gas station — still wearing the blood-stained clothes from that night. Court documents show a disturbing pattern that began long before the murders: police calls for domestic violence, reports of fear in the home, even a father who admitted he locked his door at night to stay safe from his son. Now, Tower faces two counts of first-degree murder and the possibility of life behind bars. The defense calls it trauma. The prosecution calls it evil. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into the horrific details, the psychological unraveling, and the question haunting everyone who’s followed this case: Can love really save a damaged soul — or does evil sometimes win? #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #EvilOrphan #DimaTower #TrueCrime #FloridaCrime #AdoptionGoneWrong #MurderTrial #NorthPort #CourtTV #PsychologicalCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In a stunning new legal twist, Danity Kane alum Dawn Richard is taking on Sean “Diddy” Combs once again — and this time, the allegations reach all the way inside a federal prison. According to newly filed court documents on November 5, 2025, Richard’s attorneys claim that Diddy tampered with a key witness in her civil case while incarcerated. The alleged incident, said to have occurred in September 2024, underscores what prosecutors have long warned: that Combs’ influence and intimidation didn’t stop at conviction. Her legal team wrote that “there is no indication that Combs’ ability or willingness to act on his threats ever ceased,” arguing that even from behind bars, the Bad Boy mogul continued to manipulate the narrative and maintain control. Prosecutors in Diddy’s federal case echoed similar concerns last year, citing a “pattern of witness tampering, obstruction, and coercion” when opposing his bail — which the court denied four separate times. Dawn Richard’s lawsuit claims years of physical and emotional abuse, retaliation, and intimidation during her time under Diddy’s label. She says the fear never ended — and that his alleged attempts to interfere from prison prove it. Meanwhile, Diddy’s legal team continues to deny all wrongdoing, calling these civil suits opportunistic. But with each new filing, the walls around his empire seem to tighten. In this Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski breakdown, we go inside the new court filings, the psychological dynamics of control, and what this could mean for Diddy’s appeal, Dawn Richard’s case, and the larger reckoning shaking the entertainment industry. 🔔 Subscribe for more deep-dive true crime analysis and exclusive expert commentary. #Diddy #DawnRichard #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #BadBoyRecords #WitnessTampering #TrueCrime #CelebrityTrial #Justice #CourtFiling Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A missing nine-year-old. A mother in handcuffs. A timeline that makes no sense. In this Hidden Killers exclusive, Tony Brueski sits down with defense attorney Bob Motta to dissect the bizarre twists in the Melodee Buzzard disappearance. Ashlee Buzzard, the child’s mother, is now facing a felony false-imprisonment charge — a development investigators say isn’t directly tied to Melodee’s disappearance, but raises serious questions about control, motive, and manipulation. Tony and Bob walk through the confusing chronology — the wigs, the license-plate swap, and the unexplained road trip that ended with a child gone and a mother behind bars. Bob explains how law enforcement sometimes files “unrelated” charges to pressure cooperation, how prosecutors build leverage without tipping their full hand, and why the public is often left with half the story. This isn’t just a missing-child case. It’s a look at how families fracture under secrecy, and how investigators read between the lines when no one is talking. #HiddenKillers #BobMotta #MelodeeBuzzard #AshleeBuzzard #TonyBrueski #TrueCrime #MissingChild #BuzzardCase #Investigation #Justice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In a stunning twist in the Gilgo Beach serial killer saga, accused murderer Rex Heuermann has officially been cleared in the 1994 strangulation death of Colleen McNamee, a Long Island sex worker long believed to be one of his potential victims. For years, McNamee’s name was quietly linked to the growing list of women found murdered across Suffolk County — a list that defined Heuermann as the face of one of the most disturbing serial murder cases in American history. But a new DNA analysis just ended that speculation for good. The Suffolk County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed that Heuermann’s genetic profile did not match the “Unknown Male A” found on McNamee’s remains. Instead, the DNA points back toward convicted killer John Bittrolff, a carpenter already serving 50 years to life for two nearly identical murders. Ironically, it was Bittrolff himself who pushed for the test — hoping it would shift blame to Heuermann. It did the opposite. This development doesn’t exonerate Heuermann from the seven brutal killings he’s charged with — victims Amber Lynn Costello, Megan Waterman, Melissa Barthelemy, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Sandra Costilla, Jessica Taylor, and Valerie Mack. Their DNA trails, cell records, and forensic links remain strong. But it does sharpen the boundaries of truth: what’s proven, what’s not, and how modern forensic science continues to rewrite the Gilgo Beach narrative. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down the case that looked like it belonged to Rex Heuermann — and why it never did. From forensic breakthroughs to the psychology of blame, we explore how one killer tried to hide behind another, and how DNA once again cut through the myth to reveal the facts. #RexHeuermann #GilgoBeach #TrueCrime #ColleenMcNamee #DNAEvidence #JohnBittrolff #LongIslandMurders #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimeToday Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell may be serving a 20-year sentence — but according to a federal whistleblower and a new congressional letter, she’s living more like a guest than an inmate. House Democrats led by Rep. Jamie Raskin are demanding answers from the Department of Justice after explosive allegations surfaced that Maxwell is receiving VIP treatment at Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas. Reports claim she’s enjoying custom-delivered meals, after-hours private workouts, unmonitored computer access, and even direct help from the warden in preparing a sentence-commutation request to former President Donald Trump. Maxwell — who helped Jeffrey Epstein run his international sex-trafficking operation — was convicted in 2021 and transferred to the minimum-security Texas camp despite her sex-offender status. The whistleblower alleges her transfer followed a private interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, formerly Trump’s attorney, raising questions about political influence, favoritism, and potential misuse of federal authority. In this episode, Tony Brueski exposes what’s in the congressional letter, what the DOJ is being asked to explain, and why this could signal one of the most disturbing breakdowns in accountability yet. Is the justice system bending once again for the powerful? Has Ghislaine Maxwell found a way to turn her secrets into leverage? And what does this say about the ongoing rot inside the system that let Epstein operate for decades? All the facts, all the outrage — only on Hidden Killers. #HiddenKillers #GhislaineMaxwell #Epstein #Trump #FederalPrison #JamieRaskin #DOJ #TrueCrime #Whistleblower #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
