Two Cases Just Shifted — Brian Walshe’s Plea Flip & WSU Under Kohberger Fallout Fire
Two major true-crime cases just took sharp, unexpected turns — one in the courtroom, one in the civil arena. First, Brian Walshe blindsided the court by pleading guilty to disposing of Ana Walshe’s remains and misleading investigators — but still maintaining he didn’t kill her. It’s a move that redefines the entire murder trial and forces huge strategic shifts for both sides. Then, across the country, Washington State University is facing legal heat. The Goncalves family has filed a civil claim arguing WSU ignored repeated warnings about Brian Kohberger before the Moscow murders. More than a dozen complaints. A professor calling him a future predator. Students saying they felt trapped and unsafe. The question now is simple: Does the law say the university should have done more? On today’s episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski sits down with legal analyst Eric Faddis to break down both cases: • Why did Walshe plead guilty to these charges but not murder? • Does this strengthen the prosecution’s theory — or hand the defense a new angle? • What does the jury hear now, and how will it shape perception? • And in the WSU civil case — what duty does a university owe? • What evidence matters most? • Does foreseeability apply when the crime occurred off-campus at another school? • And is the real goal here discovery — forcing WSU’s internal files out into the light? Two cases. Two seismic shifts. One conversation that lays out the stakes, the law, and the fallout. #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #BrianWalshe #BryanKohberger #WSU Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Holeman’s Testimony EXPOSES How Badly Delphi Was Investigated
In today’s episode, we take a hard, relentless look at Lieutenant Jerry Holeman’s testimony in the Delphi murders case — and what it reveals about the investigation that led to the conviction of Richard Allen. This isn’t speculation. This isn’t rumor. This is straight from the sworn record: the contradictions, the assumptions, the missing analysis, and the investigative gaps that no one watching the press conferences ever got to see. Holeman was positioned as one of the state’s anchors — a senior Indiana State Police investigator expected to bring clarity and confidence to a deeply complex double-homicide case. Instead, his testimony exposes just how shaky the investigative foundation really was. Sticks placed on the bodies of Abby and Libby were dismissed as “camouflage,” even though they concealed nothing. Then, suddenly, the state floated a psychological term — “undoing” — that had never appeared in the investigative record, and Holman endorsed it without hesitation. His certainty about a “single offender” wasn’t based on forensic proof. It came from a belief he stated on the stand: that in multi-offender crimes, “someone usually talks.” Yet the case file contains exactly that — a suspect making disturbing comments investigators inexplicably labeled “no further action.” We dive into everything Holman didn’t explain: why symbolic elements were barely analyzed, why alternative suspects weren’t vetted, why forensic opportunities were missed, why the bullet lacked field documentation, why major investigative questions were replaced with assumptions, and why his testimony often stood in open conflict with other investigators on essential questions like the FBI’s role. This isn’t about guilt or innocence. It’s about whether the investigation that shaped the entire Delphi narrative was thorough, consistent, or grounded in evidence. And Holman’s testimony makes it undeniably clear: the holes aren’t small. They’re foundational. If you care about the truth in Delphi, this breakdown matters. #Delphi #DelphiCase #TrueCrime #RichardAllen #InvestigativeAnalysis #HolemanTestimony #CourtRecord #JusticeSystem #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

New Kohberger Lawsuit Blows Open New Questions - Did WSU IGNORE RED FLAGS?
Tonight on Hidden Killers, we’re diving into the lawsuit that could finally crack open the one part of the Bryan Kohberger story that’s been sealed tight: what Washington State University actually knew about his behavior before the Idaho killings — and what they did or didn’t do with it. The Goncalves family has officially taken the first major step toward suing WSU, and the claims are explosive. They’re arguing that the university wasn’t just a backdrop in Kohberger’s life — it was an institution with warnings stacking up in its hallways, complaints piling on desks, and a growing chorus of women saying the same thing: this man made them feel unsafe. We now know multiple WSU faculty and graduate students reported Kohberger for intimidating conduct, blocking doorways, staring silently at women, hovering over desks, following people to their cars, and violating boundaries over and over. Some were so scared they asked for escorts at the end of the day. Others filed formal discrimination and harassment complaints. One professor even told colleagues she feared he’d go on to harm students someday. And still — he remained in the program. Still teaching. Still representing the university. Still in university housing. Still collecting a paycheck. The lawsuit argues that WSU had enough information to intervene long before Kohberger ever crossed into Idaho. Not because anyone predicted the crime — but because institutions have a duty to respond to patterns of harassment, intimidation, and escalating hostility. The families want answers, and they want every internal document: every HR complaint, every faculty meeting, every email where someone said, “Something is wrong with this guy.” This case could reshape how universities handle red-flag students and employees. It could expose just how close institutions sometimes get to danger without ever stepping in. And it could finally tell these families whether the system that surrounded Kohberger ever tried to stop what so many people felt happening right in front of them. Join me as we break down what this lawsuit means, what the families are fighting for, and why the truth matters now more than ever. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #WSU #KohbergerCase #TrueCrime #IdahoCase #KayleeGoncalves #MoscowMurders #JusticeForTheVictims #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Epstein Files Drop: The Trauma Surge Survivors Will Face
The public sees headlines. Survivors feel earthquakes. As the full Epstein files move toward release, America is fixated on the political implications. But for the survivors of Epstein and his network, this is something else entirely — a psychological rupture, a reopening of wounds, a wave of validation mingled with dread. And that emotional reality often gets lost in the noise. In this gripping conversation, Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to break down what this moment truly means for survivors, both publicly known and privately suffering. Shavaun explains why major truth-reveals can reactivate trauma stored deep in the body. Why survivors can experience physical symptoms, flashbacks, emotional volatility, or sudden dissociation when their stories re-enter public consciousness. And why validation — even when desperately needed — is not always simple, gentle, or healing in the moment. We also explore the psychological impact on families of survivors, who have carried their own secondary trauma for years. Many will watch their loved ones relive the past. Others will face the public glare, the online chaos, and the uncertainty that comes with knowing what the files might reveal. And beyond survivors, Shavaun addresses something the public rarely considers: how this national moment may trigger people who were never directly connected to Epstein at all — anyone with a personal history of abuse, betrayal, or institutional failure. This episode is a raw, compassionate, deeply informed look at the human cost behind the headlines. #HiddenKillers #EpsteinFiles #ShavaunScott #Trauma #SurvivorVoices #TonyBrueski #PsychologicalImpact #TruthAndHealing #MentalHealthMatters #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why the Delphi Investigation Collapsed — Former FBI Chief Explains
In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Robin Dreeke — retired FBI Special Agent and former head of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — for a deep dive into the psychological collapse that happened inside the Delphi investigation. This isn’t about evidence. This is about behavior. The behavior of the investigators who shaped the case. The depositions reveal an investigative team working under immense pressure. And according to Robin, that pressure didn’t make the team sharper — it made them fracture. He explains how emotional fatigue, leadership confusion, and cognitive bias can break down an investigation from the inside long before the public ever sees the cracks. We talk about why investigators remembered key events differently. Why deeply contradictory testimony came from people sitting at the same table. Why timeline elements were reframed. Why symbolic evidence was ignored. Why the BAU’s early assessment seemed to vanish. Why investigators became anchored to a single suspect. And why potential alternative suspects weren’t pursued with even basic curiosity. Robin walks us through the behavioral science behind all of this: how fear reshapes memory, how teams under stress cling to simplistic narratives, how cognitive overload leads to dismissing complex information, and how internal uncertainty creates outward certainty that doesn’t match the reality behind the scenes. This is not a takedown of law enforcement — it’s a human analysis of what happens when people face overwhelming expectation, limited resources, and a community demanding closure. If you've always felt something “off” about the way Delphi unfolded, this episode will help you understand exactly what that “off” feeling is — and why the depositions expose a psychological unraveling at the heart of the case. #DelphiCase #FBIAnalysis #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimeDeepDive #BehavioralScience #RichardAllen #JusticeAnalysis #MentalBias #InvestigativeFailures #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Internal Sources Now Say D4VD ‘Suspect’ In Celeste Rivas Hernandez Death Case
The case of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez has just taken a dramatic turn — and not because the LAPD held a press conference. Not because charges were filed. Not because evidence was unsealed. The shift came from something much quieter, much more subtle, but far more consequential. A single word. According to multiple Los Angeles outlets — including NBC4, ABC7, and PEOPLE Magazine — anonymous law-enforcement sources now refer to singer D4vd as a suspect in the death investigation surrounding Celeste. LAPD hasn’t said it publicly. They haven’t confirmed it on the record. But inside the investigation? That’s the language being used. And that word doesn’t leak unless something behind the scenes has changed. Tonight on Hidden Killers, we break down the moment the case shifted. How a body found in a Tesla registered to a rising music star led to weeks of silence… and then a sudden internal pivot that says more than any press briefing ever could. We examine what the “suspect” label actually means, why investigators avoid using it publicly until they’re ready, and what might have triggered insiders to finally speak that word out loud. Is it new forensic evidence? Digital analysis? Timeline reconstruction? Or simply investigators reaching the point where every path keeps circling back to the same name? We also take a hard look at what’s still missing: the official cause and manner of death, the full timeline, and the unanswered questions surrounding Celeste’s final days. This is the moment the case stopped being a mystery and started becoming a trajectory. If you want the real breakdown — without rumor, without spin, and without sensationalism — you’re in the right place.

Epstein Files Release: The Psychological Shock No One’s Ready For
The Epstein files are about to drop — not rumors, not whispers, not selectively leaked scraps — the full trove of documents America has spent years demanding. And while the legal system prepares for its moment, the rest of the country is bracing for something far deeper: the psychological shockwave that comes when long-buried truth finally hits daylight. In this powerful hour-long conversation, Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to examine the emotional and psychological fallout that is about to ripple through millions of people. From survivors who will relive their trauma in real time, to families who have carried the weight of these stories for decades, to a public that is finally about to see how deeply Epstein’s influence reached — nothing about this moment is simple. Shavaun breaks down why this case carries such heavy emotional gravity, why institutional betrayal hits harder than individual wrongdoing, and how the human brain reacts when long-hidden truths collide with years of speculation, denial, conspiracy, and political posturing. We explore the trauma responses that may surface for survivors. The panic, defensiveness, and rationalization likely to erupt from those whose names appear in the documents. The wave of cognitive dissonance the public will feel when familiar faces and trusted institutions are forced into the spotlight. And the psychological mechanisms — shame, fear, denial — that will shape the national conversation in the days and weeks after release. This isn’t just a news event. This is a national psychological event. And Shavaun Scott helps us understand exactly what that means. #HiddenKillers #EpsteinFiles #ShavaunScott #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimeAnalysis #Psychology #TraumaRecovery #EpsteinCase #InstitutionalBetrayal #MentalHealth Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
