Wendy Adelson in the Hot Seat: What Donna’s Conviction Means Next In this first segment, the Hidden Killers team sets the tone with a mix of sharp commentary and off-the-wall humor. Donna Adelson has just been convicted, and the looming question is whether her daughter Wendy will face charges in the murder of Dan Markel. While speculation swirls, the hosts open up the conversation with personal riffs about exes, courtroom testimony, and the strange thought of what would happen if your former partners were asked to testify about your life. But this is Hidden Killers, so the humor quickly collides with dark reality. The team uses comedy—complete with jokes about walabe costumes, honey badger gloves, goat-milk backpacks, and reversed Golden Girls episodes—as a way to underline how surreal and grotesque the Adelson saga has become. Narcissism, denial, and family control emerge as themes before the panel transitions into the meat of the case: Jeff Lacasse’s testimony, the boyfriend who found himself dangerously close to the center of a murder plot. This opener is chaotic, funny, and unsettling, a snapshot of how dark crime stories bleed into the absurd. The laughter masks a much darker reality: while everyone jokes about exes, Wendy Adelson’s ex is about to provide testimony that points straight to discussions of murder for hire. This is the setup for one of the most damning witness accounts in the Adelson case, and we’re about to dive into it.

Wendi Adelson’s Ex-Boyfriends Words Come Back To Haunt Her For those who want the uncut experience, this full-length episode brings the entire arc of Jeff Lacasse’s testimony and the hosts’ analysis into one continuous package. From the opening speculation about Wendy’s future after Donna’s conviction, through the explosive details of relocation battles, murder-for-hire discussions, celebration dinners, and bizarre cross-examinations, every detail is here. The hosts break down the psychology of narcissistic families, the manipulation Jeff endured in his relationship with Wendy, and the chilling casualness with which the Adelsons discussed murder. There are lighter moments of banter—strange sleep routines, reversed Golden Girls episodes, dog cameos—but they serve as a stark contrast to the darkness of the testimony. This full cut showcases why Jeff Lacasse remains one of the prosecution’s strongest witnesses and why Wendy Adelson remains one of the most controversial figures in the Dan Markel murder case. Was she a pawn trapped in her mother’s control, or a participant who chose silence when she should have acted? That’s the question that lingers long after the testimony ends.

Big Breakdown - How Many People Was Bryan Kohberger Stalking? This episode of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels dives deep into one of the most unsettling new drops in the Brian Kohberger case — hundreds of images pulled from his phone, including bizarre selfies that paint a disturbing picture of the accused Idaho student killer’s state of mind. From mirror shots in his bathroom to unsettling poses with strange “codes” written on scraps of paper, the photos raise serious questions. Was Kohberger documenting himself for vanity, or leaving cryptic clues tied to the murders of four University of Idaho students? Viewers will see images that range from awkward, almost staged modeling attempts to chillingly deliberate shots that seem to hint at hidden meaning. But it doesn’t stop there. Newly obtained reports detail how Kohberger allegedly stalked women at Washington State University long before the murders — knocking on windows, watching them through doors, even following them to their homes. His behavior pushed boundaries of fear and control, blurring the line between creepy intrusions and escalating predatory patterns. Tony, Stacy, and Todd dissect the evidence in real time: Was this narcissism? A ritual? Or another way Kohberger fed his obsession with power and control? The team also asks the bigger question — why do red flags like this so often get ignored? From the lack of follow-up on stalking reports to the way predators slip through cracks in schools and workplaces, the conversation turns toward the systemic failures that allow these warning signs to fester until it’s too late. This is not just about photos. It’s about the psychology behind them, the danger of dismissing “creepy” behavior, and what society can do when the next Brian Kohberger starts showing the signs.

Judge’s Failure Exposed: Could Travis Decker’s Girls Have Been Saved?  In a devastating true crime story that has shaken the nation, the case of Travis Decker has reached a grim conclusion. Decker, a father accused of murdering his three young daughters—Evelyn, Olivia, and Payton—was found dead just one mile from where the children’s bodies were discovered. The girls, ages nine, eight, and five, were suffocated with plastic bags and zip ties in a crime that has horrified even seasoned investigators. Their mother had fought tirelessly in court to prevent Decker from gaining visitation rights, warning judges about his volatility and violent tendencies. Despite her pleas, the system failed, and the result was one of the most heartbreaking family annihilation cases in recent memory. Authorities now believe Decker took his own life shortly after killing his daughters, avoiding accountability in court and leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions. Many are asking how law enforcement and hundreds of searchers, including the National Guard, missed him for over three months when his remains were so close to the crime scene. His death underscores the cowardice often seen in such crimes, where perpetrators inflict unimaginable suffering on others before escaping justice through suicide. This case highlights broader issues within the judicial system, particularly when it comes to domestic violence and child safety. Judges too often dismiss warnings from protective parents as “vindictive,” overlooking clear evidence of danger. In Decker’s case, supervised visitation could have saved three innocent lives. Instead, the system’s failures cost a mother her daughters and left a community grieving. As the true crime community examines the details, this tragedy serves as a painful reminder of why vigilance, awareness, and reform in family courts are essential. Evelyn, Olivia, and Payton deserved protection. Instead, their lives were stolen in an act of cruelty designed to cause lifelong torment to their mother. #TrueCrime #BreakingNews #TravisDecker #JusticeForEvelynOliviaPayton #DomesticViolenceAwareness #FamilyAnnihilation #CrimeNews #MurderCase #MissingPerson #CourtFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brian Walshe's CHILLING Google Search History Revealed (Full List) A killer’s smartest tool is also his biggest liability: the internet. In this stunning final segment, the Hidden Killers team reveals the most damning evidence against Brian Walshe—his own Google search history. In the hours and days after murdering his wife Ana, Brian used their son's iPad to meticulously research how to cover his tracks. The hosts read the horrifying, timeline-stamped list of his queries, including: "how long before a body starts to smell," "hacksaw best tool to dismember," and the bizarrely chilling, "can baking soda make a body smell good?" This digital footprint created an undeniable roadmap of his actions, leading directly to his shopping trip at Home Depot for tarps, a saw, and cleaning supplies. The discussion also uncovers a shocking crossover with another high-profile Massachusetts case: the lead detective initially assigned to the Walshe murder was none other than Michael Proctor, the controversial investigator from the Karen Read trial. We explain how Walshe’s defense team tried to leverage the Proctor scandal to get crucial evidence dismissed, a move that could have jeopardized the entire case. This is a fascinating look at how modern technology can both build an airtight case and how legal gymnastics can threaten to tear it all down.

Brian Walshe: The Anatomy of An Alleged Narcissistic Killer From one case of hidden horror to another, the show transitions to the tragic murder of Ana Walshe at the hands of her husband, Brian Walshe. This segment meticulously pieces together the final days of their unraveling marriage. Ana, a successful real estate executive, was ready to leave. Brian, a convicted art fraudster on house arrest, was watching his world collapse. We delve into Brian Walshe's shocking history of manipulation and deceit, from selling fake Andy Warhol paintings to being explicitly disinherited by his neurosurgeon father, who called him "dishonest" in his will. The hosts explore the complex and toxic psychology of the Walshe relationship. Why did Ana stay for so long? Using the "frog in the boiling pot" analogy, Stacy Cole explains how abuse can escalate so gradually that the victim doesn't realize the danger until it's too late. The discussion also highlights the bizarre family dynamics, including the allegation that Brian's own mother hired a private investigator to tail Ana, seemingly more concerned with her daughter-in-law's rumored affair than her own son's criminal behavior. This is a deep dive into the anatomy of a narcissistic mindset and the catastrophic breakdown of a marriage that ended in murder.

Meet Jordan and Harley Hoffman: a firefighter and a real estate agent who projected a picture-perfect family life on Instagram.

Co-host Stacy Cole, a licensed veterinary technician, provides a unique and powerful perspective, explaining the professional and personal horror of encountering such a case.

The hosts discuss the jarring disconnect between the couple's curated public image as an all-American family and the dark reality of their alleged crimes. This segment is a chilling exploration of how social media allows individuals with the most depraved desires to find each other, creating sick echo chambers that normalize and encourage unthinkable behaviors. This is a disturbing reminder that the most monstrous secrets can hide behind the most ordinary faces.

Charlie Kirk Assassin's BIZARRE Text Confession Broken Down With FBI Agent Was the assassination of Charlie Kirk a well-planned conspiracy or the sloppy work of a lone, foolish young man? FBI veteran Robin Dreeke tackles the conspiracy theories head-on, delivering his final verdict on the now-infamous text exchange with the shooter's roommate. The hosts read the bizarrely casual conversation line-by-line, including the killer's flippant remarks like, "No, they grabbed some crazy old dude." Robin argues that the shooter's actions fit a clear pattern of "stupid," and that what many see as a complex plot is more likely a case of profound incompetence masquerading as a conspiracy. He points to the killer's naive belief that he could "take this to my grave" or that police wouldn't find his discarded rifle. This segment includes Robin's expert opinion on why giving killers "credit for being smart" is a dangerous fallacy. His analysis highlights the killer's low "life reps" and lack of strategic thinking, which ultimately led to his quick capture. The discussion also touches on the future of security at public events, acknowledging the financial implications and the hope that this tragedy can encourage civil discourse rather than silencing voices. This final analysis from Robin offers a definitive, expert take on the planning—or lack thereof—behind the attack and provides a unique perspective on human behavior.
