The Truth Behind Anna Kepner’s Cruise Ship Death — A Family Divided-WEEK IN REVIEW

Richard Allen is serving 130 years for the murders of Abby Williams and Libby German. The jury has spoken. But his defense team just filed something unprecedented—a request to submit an appeal brief nearly double the standard size. Ten issues. Nine constitutional claims. And a roadmap of everything that went wrong in this case. In this episode, we break down the five categories of Allen's appeal and what each one reveals about how this conviction was built. From the alternative suspects the jury never heard about—including a man who allegedly confessed to the killings months after they happened—to the 1,200 pages of evidence that was blocked from trial. From the sixty-one confessions made by a man who was also confessing to crimes that provably never happened, to the thirteen months of solitary confinement that the defense says broke his mind. No DNA linked Richard Allen to the crime scene. The state's own forensic scientist testified to that. The single piece of physical evidence—an unspent bullet—relies on contested toolmark analysis that the defense wasn't fully allowed to challenge. A volunteer clerk caught a filing error that investigators missed for five years. And a judge blocked the jury from hearing about other suspects, erased interview recordings, and an Odinism theory that law enforcement themselves investigated before dropping it without explanation. This isn't about declaring Richard Allen innocent. It's about asking whether the state proved their case—or just closed it. Whether the jury heard what they needed to hear. Whether this was a constitutional trial or a conviction built on broken confessions and blocked evidence. The families of Abby and Libby deserve justice. But justice isn't just an ending. It's the right ending. Full case breakdown. Every appeal issue explained. No speculation—just the facts the defense is putting before the Indiana Court of Appeals. #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #AbbyAndLibby #DelphiCase #TrueCrime #DelphiTrial #RichardAllenAppeal #DelphiUpdate #LibbyGerman #AbbyWilliams Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brian Walshe sat across from detectives and told them everything was fine. Happy marriage. No affair. No idea where his wife went. He said he'd "never do anything to hurt" Ana. What investigators didn't tell him right away was that they'd already pulled his search history—queries like "how long before a body starts to smell" and "can you be charged with murder without a body." In this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—former chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—breaks down the recorded police interviews that are now central evidence in the Brian Walshe murder trial. For 21 years, Dreeke's job was catching people in lies that threatened national security. He knows what deception looks like under pressure, and he's walking us through exactly what Walshe's words, delivery, and behavior reveal. We dig into the specific tells: Why did Walshe volunteer that his wife's texts sometimes popped up on his phone? What does it mean when someone fabricates alibi details that surveillance footage directly contradicts? How does a person maintain composure across multiple interviews while their laptop contains a roadmap to dismemberment? Dreeke explains the difference between genuine denial and performance, why guilty people often give too much information, and what baseline behavioral shifts—like a suddenly rushed demeanor at daycare drop-off—actually signal. This isn't speculation. It's pattern recognition from someone who spent two decades in rooms with people whose lies had consequences. The Walshe trial is happening right now. The jury is hearing these recordings. And once you understand what to listen for, you'll never hear them the same way. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheTrial #TrueCrime #FBI #BehavioralAnalysis #RobinDreeke #DeceptionDetection #PoliceInterview #MurderTrial #CohassetMurder #CrimePsychology #BodyLanguage #Interrogation #TrueCrimePodcast #CriminalBehavior #FBIAgent #TrueCrimeCommunity #Justice #MassachusettsCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The death of Celeste Rivas-Hernandez — the 15-year-old found inside a Tesla linked to music artist d4vd — has rapidly become one of the most contradictory, fractured, and confusing investigations in recent memory. Not because the facts don’t exist… but because every public-facing statement contradicts the next. Tonight on Hidden Killers, we break down the widening gap between official LAPD statements, sealed court filings, forensic whispers, and the digital paper trail that suggests investigators are pursuing something far larger than the public has been told. Early on, LAPD described the case simply as a death investigation. No suspects. No cause of death. No manner determined. But in a sealed-records court filing obtained by the Los Angeles Times, an LAPD detective referred to the case as an “investigation into murder.” That is not a semantic slip — that is a classification shift. And it becomes even more significant when paired with the full autopsy, toxicology, and cause-of-death being locked behind a “security hold” requested by LAPD. Then there’s the chaos surrounding the condition of Celeste’s body. Viral rumors claimed she was “frozen.” LAPD denied only one specific version — that she was frozen inside the Tesla. They did not deny the possibility of cold storage prior to being moved. And now, multiple outlets report indicators consistent with freezing, refrigeration, long-term concealment, and even potential dismemberment. That leaves two coexist­ing possibilities: the car was not the primary location… and Celeste may have been deceased long before she was placed there. Add to that the confusion over whether LAPD has even been able to interview d4vd. His camp claims he is “cooperating fully.” A police source told People the exact opposite — that detectives have not spoken with him at all. That single contradiction raises serious questions about communication… or cooperation. And now a new avalanche of forensic details has emerged:  • Indicators of cold storage or refrigeration  • Evidence consistent with long-term concealment  • Methods investigators use to backdate a death by weeks or months  • Surveillance reportedly showing someone else driving the Tesla  • How non-cooperation pushes detectives into digital forensics  • What “final stage transport” means for the primary crime scene  • And why multiple-suspect concealment often looks exactly like this To help make sense of it, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down timelines, storage environments, digital trails, search warrant patterns, and why this case feels far more organized — and far more deliberate — than anyone anticipated. A teenage girl is gone. A narrative is fracturing. And investigators are holding information tighter than almost any case we’ve covered. Tonight, we follow the contradictions, the silence, and the emerging forensic picture of what may have really happened to Celeste Rivas-Hernandez.

The Brian Walshe trial has barely begun, and already the defense story is cracking under the weight of its own contradictions. Today on Hidden Killers, we break down the opening statements — not just what each side said, but what the evidence actually shows. Because if you watched the defense’s narrative unfold, you probably noticed something: it doesn’t come anywhere close to matching the digital, physical, and behavioral trail left behind. Prosecutors laid out a timeline that reads like a blueprint of intent: early-morning searches on body disposal, inheritance rules, DNA cleaning, and dismemberment. Surveillance footage from multiple stores showing a man matching Brian’s appearance buying the exact tools needed for a cover-up. Cell phone data placing devices exactly where incriminating items ended up. And a trash compactor filled with Anna’s belongings, cutting tools, cleaning agents, and DNA. Meanwhile, the defense wants the jury — and the public — to believe this was a sudden unexplained death, followed by a panicked, irrational cleanup because Brian thought no one would believe him. They want people to overlook the Google history, ignore the store receipts, dismiss the surveillance videos, disregard the timeline, and trust the word of a man already convicted of deception. The problem? Every single piece of evidence points in the opposite direction. Today we break down the defense’s “sudden death” narrative and show why it doesn’t align with medical logic, psychological reality, or the forensic trail. We look at the timeline the prosecution presented and why it’s so devastating. And we examine how the behavior following Anna’s disappearance speaks louder than any opening statement ever could. This is the trial everyone is watching — and the evidence everyone needs to understand. #HiddenKillers #BrianWalshe #AnnaWalshe #TrueCrime #CourtroomCoverage #TrialAnalysis #ForensicEvidence #CrimeScene #JusticeSystem #LegalAnalysis #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The new Netflix docuseries on Sean “Diddy” Combs is about to drop — and Diddy is already coming apart at the seams. He calls it a “shameful hit piece,” claims Netflix used “unauthorized” footage, and accuses executives of betrayal. But if you listen to 50 Cent, the director, former insiders, and the reporters who have seen the early cuts… the real story is what the documentary actually exposes about Diddy’s world, his behavior, and the decades-long pattern people have been describing for years. This episode breaks down what’s reportedly inside the doc — the previously unseen footage, the recordings Diddy allegedly made of himself, the hotel-room meltdown days before his arrest, the witnesses who finally speak, and the pattern that has followed him since the 1990s. We’re looking at what the filmmakers uncovered, what 50 Cent has hinted at in interview after interview, what former insiders say they saw, and why Netflix is standing firm even as Diddy threatens legal action and goes nuclear in the press. Diddy says the footage was stolen. Netflix says it was obtained legally. Diddy says this is character assassination. The filmmakers say it's accountability. And 50 Cent? He says this is only the beginning. Tonight, we go inside the parts of Diddy’s world he never expected anyone to see — the alleged behavior behind the scenes, the culture surrounding his empire, and the moments that reportedly made even longtime insiders step back and ask, “How did this go on for so long?” This is not a story about a superstar who partied too hard. This is a story about power, control, silence — and a documentary that may finally break that silence open. 🔔 Subscribe for daily deep-dives into the biggest true-crime stories shaping America. #diddy #seancombs #50cent #netflixdocumentary #thereckoning #hiddenkillers #truecrime #celebritycase #investigation #netflixseries Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brian Walshe is currently on trial for the murder of his wife Ana Walshe, a mother of three who vanished from their Cohasset, Massachusetts home on New Year's Day 2023. Her body has never been found. But here's where this case takes a turn that legal experts are still trying to wrap their heads around: two weeks before trial, Walshe pleaded guilty to disposing of his wife's body and lying to police. He admitted, in open court, that he dismembered Ana and discarded her remains in dumpsters across the region. And yet he's standing in front of a jury right now saying he didn't kill her. The defense theory? Ana Walshe died suddenly and unexpectedly in their bed in the early hours of New Year's Day. No cause. No explanation. Just gone. Defense attorney Larry Tipton told jurors that his client panicked when he found his wife unresponsive. That he didn't think anyone would believe her death was natural. That his only thought was protecting their three young boys. So instead of calling 911, Brian Walshe allegedly grabbed a hacksaw. In this episode, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down what might be the boldest — or most reckless — defense strategy we've seen in years. We dig into the tactical decision to plead guilty to the lesser charges right before trial. Is this about limiting what evidence the jury sees, or did the defense just hand prosecutors a gift? How do you sell "sudden unexplained death" to a jury when your client then cut up the body? And how do you rehabilitate a defendant's credibility when his own lawyer admitted he lied in every single police interview? Eric walks us through what the defense needs to prove, what experts they might call, and whether putting Walshe on the stand is a necessary risk or a fatal mistake. This is a case where the defense has already conceded consciousness of guilt — now they have to convince twelve people that consciousness of guilt doesn't mean guilt. We break down whether that's even possible. #BrianWalshe #BrianWalsheTrial #AnaWalshe #WalsheDefense #SuddenUnexplainedDeath #MurderTrial #EricFaddis #DefenseStrategy #MassachusettsMurderTrial #TrueCrime #CourtAnalysis #LegalAnalysis #DismembermentCase #NoBodyMurder #CriminalDefense #TrialStrategy #Cohasset #TrueCrimeCommunity #CriminalJustice #CourtRoom Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
