Lori Vallow Daybell: The Prophet, the Defendant, and the Delusion of Self-Defense | 2025 Year in Review

This Changes Everything: What the Ellen Greenberg Doc Just Revealed & What's Next? This case was buried under paperwork, silence, and a suicide label. Until now. In this revealing episode of Hidden Killers Live, host Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to explore what the Hulu documentary Death in Apartment 603 has exposed — and what the psychological profile of Ellen Greenberg actually tells us. Ellen was found with 20 stab wounds, including 10 to the back of her neck, and no history of self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or major depression. The documentary lays bare what had been kept in the shadows for years — and now, Shavaun helps us walk through the emotional truth behind the evidence. We dig into what this story reveals about: Ellen’s emotional withdrawal: Why she suddenly pulled back from her life — and what she may have been signaling The clinical record: Three sessions with a psychiatrist. No ideation. A future she was planning. So how did “anxiety” get weaponized as the reason she’s gone? The crime scene: Cleaned within 24 hours. Devices taken before police could retrieve them. A homicide ruling reversed without new evidence. And then we get to the deeper trauma:  What happens to a family when the official story doesn’t just feel wrong — it is wrong? What happens when the institutions you’re supposed to trust look you in the eye and say, “Move on”? This segment doesn’t just revisit the case — it reveals why the public was misled, how a suicide narrative was institutionalized, and what it actually takes to dismantle that lie after more than a decade of damage. Watch this episode and ask yourself — what else have we been told to accept that never made psychological sense in the first place? Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé at the time of her death, has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case. He has consistently maintained that Ellen’s death was a suicide. All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise. 🧵 Hashtags #EllenGreenberg #HiddenKillersLive #ShavaunScott #HuluDoc #DeathInApartment603 #JusticeForEllen #PsychologicalAnalysis #TrueCrimeRevealed #SuicideOrHomicide #InstitutionalFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Death Row on a Lie: Bob Motta on the Wrongful Yogurt Shop Convictions in Austin In this second segment of Hidden Killers Live, Bob Motta reacts to the most painful revelation of the press conference: the state’s admission that Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen were innocent all along. Convicted in 2001 and 2002 on the basis of confessions extracted after 18‑ and 5‑hour interrogations, these men served years behind bars — one on death row — for crimes they didn’t commit. Bob takes us inside the mechanics of coerced confessions. He explains how long hours, suggestion, minimization, and tunnel vision can make innocent people say anything to end an interrogation. He also lays out why juries still believe these confessions, even when no physical evidence supports them, and why prosecutors keep pushing cases that DNA has already undermined. This isn’t just about one bad case in Austin. It’s about a system that prioritizes “solved” over “proven” — and the lives ruined when that shortcut becomes policy. #YogurtShopMurders #FalseConfessions #WrongfulConviction #BobMotta #HiddenKillersLive #MichaelScott #RobertSpringsteen #JusticeReform #CoercedConfession #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

34 Years Late: Bob Motta Reacts to the DNA That Solved the Yogurt Shop Murders In this segment of Hidden Killers Live, defense attorney Bob Motta joins us to go beyond the headlines of the Austin Police press conference. Yes, DNA and forensic genealogy have now identified Robert Eugene Brashers as the killer in the 1991 Yogurt Shop Murders. But Bob’s focus isn’t just how it was solved — it’s why it wasn’t solved sooner. We break down how a single .380 shell casing sat in evidence for decades before being resubmitted to NIBIN, how a rare 27‑marker Y‑STR DNA profile languished without a match, and how a cold case detective finally pushed for manual searches across labs to find Brashers’ name. Bob explains how these delays happen, why evidence can sit untouched, and what this means for other cold cases nationwide. This isn’t a victory lap. It’s a lesson in what happens when systems don’t keep up with science — and why families shouldn’t have to wait a lifetime for truth. #YogurtShopMurders #RobertBrashers #DNAJustice #BobMotta #HiddenKillersLive #ForensicGenealogy #ColdCaseBreakthrough #AustinCrime #SerialKillerID #TrueCrimeAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna & Charlie Adelson Behind Bars: Tantrums, Tablets, and Toe Trauma Dan Markel was murdered in 2014 in one of the most shocking custody-related hit jobs in American legal history. Now that two of the key players—Donna and Charlie Adelson—are behind bars, how are they handling it? Spoiler: Not well. In this voice-driven episode of Hidden Killers, we pull the curtain back on life behind bars for the once-powerful Adelsons. Donna’s jailhouse meltdown just nine days after her conviction is fully documented in prison logs—loud sobbing, door-pounding, and furious rants about judges and jurors, all while she unknowingly feeds jailhouse informants. Meanwhile, Charlie Adelson, convicted of murder, has his own jailhouse drama. Caught on video by Spill the Crime Tea, Charlie explodes over his big toe being run over by a jail door. He spews racial slurs, berates staff, then folds like a lawn chair when a lieutenant arrives. This isn’t a story of redemption. It’s the unraveling of a family that thought the rules didn’t apply to them. We dig into:  – The official jail logs documenting Donna’s outbursts  – Charlie’s unhinged toe tirade caught on camera  – What these behaviors tell us about entitlement, narcissism, and collapse  – How the Adelsons are adjusting—or failing to—in the harsh reality of incarceration Welcome to the downfall. No more dental dynasty. Just inmate numbers, cold walls, and tablets that barely charge. Watch now and decide for yourself: are the Adelsons victims of injustice, or just finally out of excuses? 🔍 Keywords Donna Adelson, Charlie Adelson, Adelson family, Dan Markel murder, prison logs, jailhouse meltdown, true crime podcast, Hidden Killers, Surviving the Survivor, Wendy Adelson, Leon County Jail, jailhouse footage, Florida true crime, criminal psychology, post-conviction behavior, narcissistic breakdown Hashtags #DonnaAdelson #CharlieAdelson #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #PrisonLife #JailhouseMeltdown #AdelsonFamily #JusticeServed #SurvivingTheSurvivor Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
