Melodee Buzzard & The Great Vanishing: How California Lost 150,000 Kids-WEEK IN REVIEW
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?

Inside the Search for Missing 7-Year-Old Melodee Buzzard — Investigators Speak Out
Authorities in California are urgently searching for 7-year-old Melodee Buzzard, a young girl who vanished under deeply troubling and suspicious circumstances. Melodee was last seen in early October near Lompoc, California, and has not been seen publicly since October 11, when law enforcement confirmed surveillance footage of her traveling with her mother, Ashley Buzzard, near the Utah-Colorado border. Since that sighting, there has been no verifiable proof of life. According to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, Ashley has provided “no verifiable explanation” for her daughter’s whereabouts. Investigators say she’s been evasive, uncooperative, and unwilling to answer direct questions — drawing alarming comparisons to the Casey Anthony case. Despite multiple search warrants on her home, storage unit, and vehicle, investigators remain without solid leads on where Melodee could be. What’s most haunting is the growing pattern that echoes other infamous missing child cases like Harmony Montgomery and Oakley Carlson — cases where a child vanished, unnoticed for far too long, and the guardian’s story simply didn’t add up. In this case, reports indicate Ashley changed her license plates just before Melodee disappeared, traveled out of state, and may have manipulated her timeline to mislead authorities. Investigators have worked with the FBI, securing warrants for Ashley’s electronics and financial records, hoping to uncover new evidence. Yet despite these efforts, Melodee remains missing, and her mother continues to dodge accountability. As the case gains traction on Court TV and NewsNation, the public’s outrage grows — how long can this silence last before justice catches up? This is more than just another missing person’s case. It’s a chilling reminder of how easily a child can vanish, and how bureaucracy, silence, and deception can delay the truth. #MelodeeBuzzard #AshleyBuzzard #MissingChild #TrueCrime #BreakingNews #CaliforniaCrime #JusticeForMelodee #ChildEndangerment #InvestigativeNews #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jake Haro: The Father Who Proved “Second Chances” Can Kill
It didn’t have to happen. Seven-month-old Emmanuel Haro should still be alive — but the system that was supposed to protect him chose mercy over logic. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we pull apart the case of Jake Haro — the California father who once cried on camera for his “kidnapped” baby and is now serving at least 30 years in prison for killing him. What makes this story unbearable is how preventable it was. Years earlier, Jake Haro was convicted of nearly killing his infant daughter — leaving her permanently disabled and bedridden with cerebral palsy. Yet instead of a lifetime ban from fatherhood or meaningful prison time, he was handed probation, therapy, and a clean slate. The result? A new baby. Another victim. Another grave. Tony exposes the systemic rot that let this happen — judges obsessed with “second chances,” probation officers drowning in caseloads, child-protection agencies paralyzed by paperwork, and a justice system that treats redemption as more sacred than a child’s safety. This isn’t about one family. It’s about every institution that keeps gambling on compassion at the expense of children’s lives. 👉 Why Jake Haro’s previous abuse case should have triggered a lifetime ban 👉 How California’s courts ignored every red flag 👉 Why “rehabilitation theater” is killing our kids 👉 What needs to change — and why it probably won’t This is the story of a monster the system built, released, and pretended not to see coming. Watch. Listen. Share. Because until the public demands accountability, the next Emmanuel is already in danger. #JakeHaro #EmmanuelHaro #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #ChildAbuse #JusticeSystemFailure #TonyBrueski #ChildProtection #TrueCrimeNews #CaliforniaCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

“Ethical Non-Monogamy”: The Pastor’s Lie That Ended in Murder
A pastor preaching virtue. A mistress promised “truth.” A wife who knew nothing. And a murder that ripped the mask off a so-called “ethical non-monogamy.” In 2019, Executive Pastor Brodes Perry of Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church was shot to death inside his Tennessee apartment by Latoshia Daniels, a woman who believed she was part of a consensual “open” relationship — one the pastor insisted his wife had approved. Except… she hadn’t. Now, years later, Daniels is on trial for first-degree murder and attempted murder of Perry’s wife Tabatha, who survived the attack and took the stand to tell a very different story. Jurors have seen videos of Perry himself describing “ethical non-monogamy” — claiming transparency, honesty, and divine understanding — while prosecutors say those same words expose the lies that fueled the killing. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down how a pastor’s moral branding turned into manipulation, how a so-called modern “ethic” became a weapon of deceit, and why this trial isn’t just about one shooting — it’s about the danger of self-righteous hypocrisy hiding behind the language of enlightenment. This is not about alternative lifestyles. This is about control, delusion, and the rot that grows when a man of God decides the rules no longer apply to him. 📺 Watch now and join the conversation — because some sermons end in salvation… and others end in a crime scene. #HiddenKillers #BrodesPerry #LatoshiaDaniels #TrueCrimePodcast #EthicalNonMonogamy #PastorMurder #CourtTV #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimeNews #MemphisCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
