Inside Ghislaine Maxwell’s Cushy Prison Life — Custom Meals, Private Gym, and a Path to Trump?

Nick Reiner told the world exactly who he was. In 2016 interviews, he admitted he hated getting sober, chose homelessness over rehab, and met his heroin dealer through connections he made in treatment. He called himself "a spoiled, white, rich kid from a Hollywood family" and said he had "resistance every time they tried to reach me." His father Rob Reiner acknowledged they ignored Nick when he said the programs weren't working because they trusted the professionals over their own son.Eighteen rehab stints by age twenty-two. Facilities costing up to $70,000 per month. A wilderness program in Utah where Nick says the seed of his heroin addiction was planted. And through it all, the money kept flowing. Ten thousand dollars a month in allowance. A guest house on the Brentwood estate. Every bill paid.Now Rob and Michele Reiner are dead, allegedly stabbed by Nick in their bedroom on December 14th. And according to sources, their estate is funding Nick's defense. His attorney is Alan Jackson, the high-powered lawyer who represented Kevin Spacey and got Karen Read acquitted. Jackson's fees run into the millions. Nick has never worked.Nick is off suicide watch and faces arraignment tomorrow. The defense will likely argue mental illness — Nick was reportedly diagnosed with schizophrenia and his meds were changed weeks before the killings. But this isn't just a story about mental health. It's about seventeen years of checks that bought everything except accountability. And one final check, signed from beyond the grave.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #AlanJackson #Rehab #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeToday #Addiction #BrentwoodMurder #HollywoodMurderJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The next chapter in the Dan Markel murder saga is about to unfold — in an appellate courtroom with no cameras and no jury. Charlie Adelson's appeal is scheduled for oral argument on February 3rd, 2026. His attorneys will have twenty minutes to convince three judges that his 2023 conviction should be overturned. The arguments: pretrial publicity made a fair trial impossible, jurors discussed the case after being told not to, critical text messages were improperly excluded, and his own attorney had a disqualifying conflict of interest. That last one is especially interesting — because Charlie himself triggered his mother's trial delay by revoking his conflict waiver on the morning Donna Adelson's jury selection was supposed to begin. Now he's arguing that same conflict compromised his defense. Donna, meanwhile, was convicted in September 2025 and sentenced to life. She's filed her notice of appeal but hasn't submitted her full brief yet. Mother and son — both serving life without parole, both fighting through the same appellate court, neither willing to take the stand for the other. We break down what happens next, what Charlie's team is actually arguing, and why the odds of success in criminal appeals hover around five percent. The Markel case isn't over. It's just entering its quietest phase.#CharlieAdelson #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #TrueCrimeToday #MurderForHire #AdelsonTrial #FloridaCrime #TrueCrimeNews #TonyBrueski #CourtUpdateJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

D4VD has gone silent. His social media is dark. His tour is canceled. But the people around him are being dragged into a grand jury room—and not everyone is cooperating.His manager Robert Morgenroth testified for days. He reportedly told his lawyer that prosecutor Beth Silverman was "very pushy" about why he didn't call police after learning a body was found in his client's car. His alleged answer: it wasn't his job. His priority was the tour. A female witness failed to show and now faces arrest to compel her testimony. She shares legal counsel with Morgenroth.In Part 2 of this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines what the behavior of D4VD's inner circle reveals about this investigation. We break down what prosecutors were trying to get from Morgenroth, what it means when witnesses actively resist testifying, and how D4VD's alleged asset transfers—two properties moved to his mother's name days after the raid—could factor into the case.Jennifer explains how prosecutors view a suspect who goes from cooperative to silent, what typically breaks open cases like this, and what happens next if the grand jury hands down an indictment—arrest, arraignment, bail considerations, and trial timeline.The grand jury has authority to indict and is expected to continue through February 2026. D4VD hasn't been charged. He's presumed innocent. But the pressure is building.Watch Part 1 for the physical evidence and timeline breakdown.#D4VD #CelesteRivas #JenniferCoffindaffer #FBI #TrueCrimeToday #GrandJury #RobertMorgenroth #BethSilverman #MurderCase #CriminalInvestigationJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Opening statements began today in the trial of former Uvalde school officer Adrian Gonzales, and the prosecution held nothing back. Special prosecutor Bill Turner used a minute-by-minute timeline to show the jury exactly what Gonzales allegedly did — and didn't do — as a gunman executed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary.Turner's most damning line: Gonzales was told by a coach where the shooter was heading. He heard the shots. He radioed that the shooter was wearing black and was in the parking lot. And according to the prosecution, "Adrian Gonzales remains" — at the south side of the school — while the gunman entered the building and opened fire. Turner says Gonzales only went inside "after the damage was done."The defense called it a chaotic scene. Attorney Jason Goss said Gonzales believed he was responding to a vehicle accident involving a man with a gun. Nico LaHood told jurors that "pure evil" visited Uvalde that day, but said his client did everything he could under the circumstances and was among the first to enter the building.The jury — 11 women and five men — will hear from FBI agents, Texas Rangers, and families over the next two weeks. Gonzales faces 29 felony counts of child endangerment.#TrueCrimeToday #AdrianGonzales #UvaldeTrial #OpeningStatements #RobbElementary #Uvalde #TexasTrial #Justice #SchoolShooting #BreakingJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Richard Allen confessed to molesting his sister. She says it never happened. He confessed to molesting his daughter. She denies it too. He said he shot Abby Williams and Libby German. They weren't shot—they were stabbed.And those are the confessions Indiana used to convict him of murder.According to the 113-page Appellant's Brief now before the Indiana Court of Appeals, Richard Allen's confessions came after five months in maximum-security solitary confinement—a placement that violated Indiana's own 30-day policy for mentally ill inmates. By the time he started confessing, state doctors had declared him "gravely disabled." He'd dropped from 180 to 135 pounds. He was eating his own feces, drinking toilet water, and couldn't remember confessing days after he did it.Before solitary, Allen never broke. Two interrogations. Hours of pressure. Detectives lying about evidence. His own wife brought in as leverage. His response stayed consistent: "I did not murder two little girls. I don't care how stressed out I get, I am not going to admit to something I had nothing to do with."Five months later, he was asking guards if he was already dead.The prosecution called these confessions "logical and organized." They presented them as the unburdening of a guilty soul. But the jury never heard the audio—Judge Gull ordered it muted. They never heard Allen screaming incoherently, rambling about World War III, saying "Rocky Balboa is my favorite actor."They got silence. They got the state's narrative. And Richard Allen got 130 years.Today we break down what these confessions actually looked like—and why the details Allen got wrong may matter more than anything he got right.#RichardAllenTrial #DelphiMurders #TrueCrimeNews #FalseConfessions #AbbyAndLibby #WrongfulConviction #DelphiUpdate #CriminalJustice #LibbyGerman #AbbyWilliamsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The cause of death is still listed as "deferred." The body was too decomposed to easily identify. There's no eyewitness, no confession, no official homicide ruling. And yet prosecutors are moving forward with a grand jury that has full authority to indict D4VD for murder.So what do they have?In Part 1 of this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the physical evidence in the Celeste Rivas case and explains what investigators are likely seeing. A chainsaw found with its protective sheath still on. A burn cage incinerator still boxed. PI Steve Fischer's assessment that "the plan got upended" and Celeste "was not meant to be left in that Tesla."We examine the timeline: last confirmed alive January 2nd, 2025. Tesla parked in its final spot July 29th—allegedly the same day D4VD left for tour. Body discovered September 8th. Jennifer explains what a timeline like this tells investigators, how decomposition affects forensic analysis, and why prosecutors pushed to seal the autopsy findings.We also discuss how murder cases built entirely on circumstantial evidence succeed—or fail—and what toxicology results could mean for the charges prosecutors ultimately pursue.D4VD has not been arrested or charged. He remains presumed innocent. But Jennifer Coffindaffer helps us understand how prosecutors build a case when the evidence doesn't speak for itself.Part 2 covers the grand jury and D4VD's inner circle.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The trial everyone's waiting for is finally coming. January 2026. Cameras in the courtroom. And a case that sounds like it was ripped from a crime novel.Brendan Banfield — a former IRS criminal investigative agent — is charged with four counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of his wife Christine Banfield and a man named Joseph Ryan. Prosecutors allege Banfield orchestrated an elaborate scheme with the family's Brazilian au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, to murder Christine and frame Ryan as her attacker.According to the prosecution, Banfield created a fake profile on FetLife using Christine's photo — without her knowledge — and lured Ryan to their Herndon, Virginia home for what Ryan believed was a consensual sexual encounter. Instead, prosecutors say Ryan was shot and killed, and Christine was stabbed to death by her own husband. The four-year-old daughter was in the basement the entire time.Juliana has pleaded guilty to manslaughter and will testify against Brendan. She claims he planned everything — the fake profile, the gun purchases, even installing sound-canceling windows so neighbors wouldn't hear. But the defense is fighting back hard, pointing to digital forensic evidence they say proves Christine created the FetLife account herself.The lead prosecutor was removed from the case after a drinking incident. Investigators who disagreed with the prosecution's theory were allegedly transferred. And the only person talking is the one who already pled guilty.January 2026. Fairfax County.

January 5th, 2026. That's when seventeen-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick stands trial for murdering her mother and stepfather. The Carroll County Sheriff's Office has promised mountains of evidence. So far, the public has seen TikTok videos, messages to true crime creators, and an eulogy investigators found suspicious.What haven't we seen? The murder weapon. A motive. Physical evidence tying Sarah to the crime.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins True Crime Today to break down what prosecutors actually have — and what they're going to need to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. We examine the digital footprint that led to Sarah's arrest, the troubled family history documented in court records, questions about whether a sixteen-year-old was interrogated without parental consent, and what it means that a six-year-old may be the state's key witness.Sarah's grandfather insists she's innocent. The Brock family showed up to court fearing for their lives. The community is split.
