Forgetting Bryan Kohberger: A Mother’s Powerful Choice
In the face of unthinkable tragedy, Stacy Chapin, the mother of slain University of Idaho student Ethan Chapin, chose a path of grace over vengeance. This deeply moving commentary from Hidden Killers explores her powerful decision to not let Bryan Kohberger—the accused killer—define her or her family's story. Instead of focusing on the crime, Stacy and her family have channeled their grief into a powerful legacy, establishing scholarships and writing a book to honor Ethan's life. This episode is a tribute to the strength of the human spirit. It's about what happens after the crime—the difficult journey of healing, the importance of reclaiming a victim’s memory, and the radical act of choosing peace in a world that demands outrage. We'll examine this unique approach to grieving and the profound impact it can have on survivors. This is a story of resilience, love, and the enduring power of a family's legacy.

Mental Collapse or Delphi Murder Admission? Richard Allen Jail Calls Exposed
This second segment dives into the devastating mental deterioration of Richard Allen during his 13-month pretrial incarceration in solitary confinement—what the state called a “safekeeping order.” Tony, Stacy, Todd, and Bob break down how Allen was isolated, broken down, and allegedly manipulated into confessing to the Delphi murders—not through force, but through psychological collapse. Bob takes us inside the jailhouse calls, including one made at 3:15 AM where Allen desperately tells his stepfather he’s losing his mind and feels like he’s in Guantanamo. Hours later, in a fog of confusion, he tells his wife, “I did it”—then follows with, “Evidently I did.” Is that a confession? Or the ramblings of a man pushed to the brink? We discuss how labeling solitary as a “single-person cell” let the state sidestep human rights standards, why the court excluded a jail call where Allen professes his innocence, and how this system, by design or dysfunction, weaponizes mental illness to build a case. If this was strategy, not oversight, it’s one of the most ethically disturbing chapters in modern true crime. This segment lays bare the line between confession and coercion—and forces us to ask: is it justice if you have to destroy a man’s mind to convict him? #RichardAllen #SolitaryConfinement #FalseConfession #DelphiMurders #TrueCrime #JailhouseCall #PsychologicalAbuse #MentalHealthCrisis #WrongfulConviction #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brian Walshe Murder Trial Halted: Psychiatric Evaluation REQUIRED
The Brian Walshe murder case has taken a shocking turn, with the court ordering a psychiatric evaluation. In this exclusive Hidden Killers legal breakdown, Tony Brueski examines what this stunning development means for the future of the trial and the complexities of the justice system. We'll trace the compelling digital evidence, from the chilling iPad searches for dismemberment techniques to the damning Home Depot purchases that led to Walshe's arrest. This video isn't about a verdict; it's an in-depth analysis of the legal process, focusing on the critical question of competency to stand trial. We’ll explain the legal standards, including the "Dusky standard," and discuss how a finding of incompetence could suspend the case indefinitely. From courtroom delays to psychological assessments at Bridgewater State Hospital, this is a front-row seat to the high-stakes legal twist in one of the year's most high-profile murder cases. Join us as we unravel the legal implications and explore the reasons behind this significant pause.

Delphi Defense Breakdown: How the System Failed Richard Allen (Again)
In this first segment of Hidden Killers Live, we dig into the shocking breakdown of Richard Allen’s appeal process in the Delphi murders case. With defense attorney and Defense Diaries host Bob Motta joining the panel, we unpack the bureaucratic chaos surrounding missing exhibits tied to the now-infamous 136-page Franks memo—a document that accused law enforcement of misleading the court to obtain a search warrant. Why does this matter? Because those exhibits, including documents that point toward alternate suspects, weren't formally entered into evidence—meaning they’ve been omitted from the official trial transcript. The appellate court now has a certified record that’s incomplete, and Richard Allen’s legal team has been forced to file a motion to compel the transmission of those exhibits just to keep the appeal alive. Bob explains how different jurisdictions handle this kind of mess, what’s at stake, and how this may set precedent for how other wrongful conviction appeals are sabotaged through procedural technicalities. We also discuss the very real possibility that Richard Allen’s appeal could fail—not because of the merits, but because of broken systems, missing paperwork, and a Kafkaesque legal process that seems more interested in protecting itself than in seeking justice. This isn’t just another paperwork delay. It’s potentially the death knell for a man already sentenced to die in prison—and it raises serious questions about transparency, accountability, and whether justice can survive in a system this broken. #RichardAllen #DelphiMurders #TrueCrime #FranksMemo #AppealProcess #HiddenKillers #BobMotta #DelphiCase #Injustice #WrongfulConviction Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
