Is d4vd Being Framed? Inside the Celeste Rivas Case and the Swatting Twist
A teenage girl. A viral pop star. A Tesla. A fake 911 call. Is this a murder case—or is it something even more calculated? In this full-length Hidden Killers investigation, we go deep into the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas-Hernandez, whose body was discovered in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to singer d4vd. The vehicle sat for weeks on a public street before being impounded. The odor led to the discovery of human remains. Since then, the internet has exploded with speculation, assumptions, and unconfirmed theories—but the LAPD has not made an arrest, and cause and manner of death remain undetermined. So what do we really know? This episode strips away the noise and asks a much sharper question: Is David Burke—better known as d4vd—being framed? We walk you through the timeline, confirmed reporting, and the forensic science behind the case, including a chilling new detail: a voice-changed 911 call sent armed police to the Texas home of d4vd’s parents, just days after the body was found. Was it a prank, or part of a wider effort to harass or implicate him? We speak about the possibilities—from digital footprints to forensic tripwires in the Tesla itself—and how investigators will use science, data, and chain of custody to separate narrative from truth. This is not about defending or accusing—it’s about what the facts actually show, and where those facts haven’t yet caught up to the headlines. If you’re here for real true crime storytelling—fact-first, emotionally grounded, never sensationalized—you’re in the right place. 📍 Featuring verified reporting from ABC, TMZ, The Guardian, LAPD statements, and expert analysis from forensic audio specialists. 📍 Trigger warning: This episode discusses the death of a minor and false emergency reporting (swatting). All content is YouTube-safe and free of graphic language. This is Hidden Killers. And this is the story behind the story. #d4vd #CelesteRivas #TrueCrime #Swatting #VoiceChanger911 #TeslaCrimeScene #HiddenKillers #CrimeInvestigation #FramedOrGuilty #ForensicBreakdown Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Inside the Conspiracy Storm After Charlie Kirk’s Death With Ret FBI Chief: Sorting Fact From Fiction
After Charlie Kirk’s shocking assassination, the flood of conspiracy theories hit almost immediately. Claims of false flags. Staged scenes. AI-generated notes. Wrong suspects. Government setups. Everyone had an explanation—but very few were based in verified fact. And while prosecutors have released a detailed charging document, much of the public still doesn’t fully trust what they’re hearing from official sources. So how do we handle that tension—between asking valid questions… and falling into a rabbit hole of speculation? In this episode of Hidden Killers, former FBI Special Agent and behavioral expert Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to break down: Why conspiracy theories form so fast after public tragedies How uncertainty, outrage, and digital noise fuel mass doubt Whether there’s any truth to some of the theories, and which have already been clearly debunked How to stay open-minded without being manipulated by misinformation And what it means to think critically, even when emotions run high This is not about silencing questions. This is about asking the right ones—the ones that lead to truth, not chaos. Because we don’t know everything. But we do know enough to tell which narratives are built on sand… and which are worth watching more closely. 🔔 Subscribe for honest, psychology-informed breakdowns of the most controversial and complex cases in America. #CharlieKirk #MurderConspiracies #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #PsychologyOfBelief #FalseFlagTheories #Misinformation #CriticalThinking #ConspiracyBreakdown Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Engaged Already? Kevin Franke’s Fresh Start After Ruby’s Prison Sentence
Kevin Franke says redemption is real. He just announced he’s engaged to a new partner, just six months after finalizing his divorce from Ruby Franke — the former “8 Passengers” mommy blogger now serving a possible 30-year sentence for aggravated child abuse. In this episode of Hidden Killers, we’re digging into what this “fresh start” really means — not just for Kevin, but for the children who lived under a camera, inside a home built on discipline, doctrine, and denial. Kevin was never charged in Ruby’s criminal case. The two had separated before her arrest in 2023. But he was there for the rise of the YouTube family empire — a channel that broadcast strict, often disturbing parenting choices as content. And while Ruby ultimately took the fall with her counselor-turned-co-conspirator Jodi Hildebrandt, Kevin’s role in normalizing the platform is still under scrutiny. Now, he’s trying to course-correct. He supported Utah’s new “child influencer” law — requiring that kids in monetized content receive protected earnings and the right to have their footage pulled as adults. His testimony was powerful. But does it erase the years he spent behind the camera? This segment unpacks the psychology of quick re-partnering after trauma, the legal line between enabling and accountability, and why moving on isn’t the same as making it right. We examine the public push for “redemption,” and ask the hard question: is this genuine healing — or a quiet rebranding campaign? It’s not about punishing a man for starting over. It’s about asking what real accountability looks like when the kids didn’t get a choice. #KevinFranke #RubyFranke #8Passengers #TrueCrime #ChildAbuseAwareness #YouTubeFamily #HiddenKillers #FamilyVloggers #PsychologicalAbuse #ParentalAccountability #RedemptionArc #SocialMediaLaw Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Truth, Lies, and Maybes: Ret FBI Chief On The Charlie Kirk Murder Theories
There’s asking questions—and then there’s rejecting every answer. After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, some of the internet’s loudest voices claimed it was a false flag. Others said the note and texts were AI fakes. Some blamed the wrong shooter entirely. Some believed it was all theater. In this episode, Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski teams up with former FBI agent and behavioral expert Robin Dreeke to do what few are doing—actually breaking it down. Which theories fall apart under the weight of facts? Which ones still haven’t been ruled out? And why do some people need to believe there’s more going on—even when the evidence is sitting right in front of them? This isn’t about mocking believers. It’s about separating what’s possible from what’s provable, and making space for real questions without losing the plot. You’ll learn: The structure of conspiracy theory belief How emotion overrides reason in cases like this Where misinformation comes from—and why we believe it And why media literacy is now a survival skill If you’ve been asking yourself what to believe in the wake of this case… this is the episode for you. 🔔 Subscribe for sharp, forensic analysis without sensational spin. #CharlieKirk #ConspiracyBreakdown #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #FalseFlagMyths #AIandDeepfakes #PublicMistrust #CriticalSkepticism #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
