How A Wisconsin Judge HELPED The Slender Man Attacker ESCAPE!

A community listened in stunned silence as “Break the Case” examined a decision that many believe defies the gravity of the crimes alleged. In Payne County, Oklahoma, Jesse Mack Butler was accused of serial sexual violence against two young women—identified in criminal complaints as Jane and Sarah—including rape, sodomy with an instrument, oral sodomy, and repeated coercive control. According to the episode, one survivor required neck surgery after alleged strangulation, and a medical assessment noted she was seconds from death. Yet the conclusion stunned observers: a plea that placed Butler under a “youthful offender” status with home confinement, counseling, and the possibility of an expunged record if terms are met. In a state already grappling with trust in its justice system, this outcome landed like breaking news. Host Jennifer Coffindaffer—joined by survivor and advocate Danielle Tudor—delivers a true crime recap that reads like an investigative podcast: urgent, precise, and unflinching. Tudor, who reshaped laws in Oregon and Oklahoma after surviving the “Jogger Rapist,” Richard Gilmore, explains how policy gaps, sentencing discretion, and inconsistent training can turn the promise of justice into a procedural formality. She points to rape kit backlogs, underenforced best-practice training, and sentencing choices that send the wrong message to survivors and offenders alike. The discussion widens to another Oklahoma flashpoint: a Tulsa case where a jury’s decades-long prison recommendation reportedly became probation at sentencing. Names matter in true crime and public accountability, and the episode raises scrutiny of Payne County District Attorney Laura Austin Thomas and the bench decisions that enabled a result many call far too lenient. This cinematic news recap dissects how “youthful offender” pathways, counseling-only conditions, and limited registry consequences can collide with the realities of power, control, and escalating violence. It also foregrounds survivor advocacy as a force for reform: mandatory annual law-enforcement training, evidence tracking, backlog elimination, and clearer minimums for violent sex offenses. Listeners will hear how Tudor’s decades-long fight for victims—contrasted with the parole-era lessons from Richard Gilmore—offers a roadmap for Oklahoma’s next legislative session. The episode references broader case comparisons (including public interest in Bryan Kohberger and Ellen Greenberg) to underscore consistent patterns: grooming, strangulation risk, and the critical need for consequences that protect the public and respect victims’ trauma. If you follow true crime, breaking news, and justice reform, this deep-dive is a must-watch. It’s not speculation—it’s a meticulous, on-record conversation that asks the hard questions. Why was a case with such severe allegations resolved with home confinement? What protections exist for victims when violent behavior is minimized by process? And how can communities mobilize—through policy, elections, and oversight—to ensure that sentences reflect the seriousness of the crimes and the enduring harm to survivors? #JesseButler #Oklahoma #PayneCounty #TrueCrime #BreakingNews #JusticeForSurvivors #SexualAssaultAwareness #DanielleTudor #RichardGilmore #YouthfulOffender Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh — the disgraced South Carolina lawyer serving life in prison for killing his wife Maggie and son Paul — has decided to issue a statement from behind bars attacking Hulu’s new true-crime series about his case. In the letter, Murdaugh claims the show contains “numerous inaccuracies” and “misleading portrayals,” even going so far as to say it “totally mischaracterizes his relationships” with the very people he murdered. He accuses Hulu of failing to reach out to him, his attorneys, or his surviving son Buster before releasing the series — as if that somehow invalidates decades of documented lies, theft, and manipulation. In this episode, Tony Brueski rips apart Murdaugh’s delusional statement line by line — exposing the narcissism, denial, and moral rot that have defined every chapter of this man’s life. From stealing millions from clients, to staging his own suicide for an insurance scam, to the brutal murders at Moselle, Alex Murdaugh’s downfall is a masterclass in arrogance. Now, from prison, he’s worried about how Hulu portrayed him? The audacity is staggering — and we’re breaking down every word of it. 🎙️ Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski  Your home for true crime analysis, courtroom commentary, and psychological breakdowns of the world’s most infamous cases. #AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughMurders #HuluSeries #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeToday #MaggieMurdaugh #PaulMurdaugh #BusterMurdaugh #SouthCarolina #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

He was born into royalty — a man the world was taught to bow to. But behind the medals and the palace walls, Prince Andrew’s life intersected with one of the darkest criminal networks in modern history. Virginia Giuffre was seventeen when she says Ghislaine Maxwell recruited her for Jeffrey Epstein — a man who used wealth and power to prey on young girls while the world looked the other way. And according to Virginia, one of the men she was trafficked to was Prince Andrew, Duke of York — the Queen’s own son. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski dives deep into Giuffre’s account: how she met Andrew, the infamous photo, the alleged encounters in London, New York, and Epstein’s private island — and how the royal family worked overtime to bury the fallout. From the BBC interview that imploded Andrew’s reputation to the multimillion-dollar settlement that silenced the courtroom, this is the full story — the arrogance, the power, the protection, and the survivor who refused to stay quiet. Giuffre’s new memoir, Nobody’s Girl, exposes more than just one man’s depravity — it reveals a network of enablers who made sure justice stopped where power began. This isn’t tabloid gossip. This is a story about accountability — and what happens when a survivor dares to stand up to royalty. 🎙️ Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski – exposing the power, privilege, and hypocrisy behind the crimes the elite try to hide. #PrinceAndrew #VirginiaGiuffre #JeffreyEpstein #GhislaineMaxwell #RoyalScandal #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #EpsteinNetwork #SurvivorStories #JusticeForVictims Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When Joseph DeAngelo — the Golden State Killer — was finally unmasked in 2018, the world saw an old man slumped in a wheelchair. But according to Sacramento DA Thien Ho, it was all an act. In this exclusive conversation, Tony Brueski goes behind the headlines with Ho, the man who stood across the courtroom from one of America’s most elusive serial predators. From the whispered “crazy act” DeAngelo tried to pull in the interrogation room to the frail performance he staged in court, Ho explains how the prosecution saw through every layer of manipulation. But this story isn’t about glorifying a killer — it’s about the survivors. Ho shares how he centered their voices, the emotional weight of their impact statements, and the unforgettable moment one woman told DeAngelo, “I’m not afraid of you anymore.” The People vs. The Golden State Killer gives us the first insider look at the battle between truth and illusion — and how one prosecutor helped make history by exposing the evil hiding behind a mask of normalcy. #GoldenStateKiller #ThienHo #JosephDeAngelo #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #Justice #Prosecution #DNAEvidence #EastAreaRapist #CrimeStories Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
