Big Breakdown - Donna Adelson's Bad Week In Court

Forget the chainsaw and the slasher mask. The true story of Ed Gein, a lonely man in Plainfield, Wisconsin, is more unsettling than any fictional horror. This true crime commentary from Hidden Killers explores the psychological profile of the man behind the infamous "Psycho" and "Leatherface" inspirations. We delve into the grotesque discoveries police made at his isolated farmhouse, focusing on the quiet, obsessive nature of his crimes and the chilling reality of his grave robbing. This isn't about gore; it's a deep dive into the psychological horror and the twisted mindset that led to the desecration of the dead. We'll discuss his profound mother fixation and analyze why this case remains so disturbing to this day. This is the real-life horror story of an individual who didn't commit a massive body count but instead became a legend of American terror through his morbid obsessions. Tune in for a respectful, detailed breakdown of one of history's most compelling and misunderstood criminal cases.

In this final segment, we tackle the eerie silence surrounding Richard Allen’s current status in the Oklahoma prison system. Even his wife Kathy—who hasn’t seen him since the conviction—is still waiting weeks into a background check just to visit. Advocacy groups and legal experts can’t even find his inmate listing. So the question becomes: where is Richard Allen? And why is he being kept so hard to reach? Tony, Stacy, Todd, and Bob explore the systemic fog that has enveloped Allen since his sentencing. With no transparency, no accountability, and no updates—even his appellate attorneys are struggling to get access. This isn’t just legal red tape. It’s a case study in how a person can be swallowed by the prison system, with safeguards eroded under vague “safekeeping” orders and bureaucratic runarounds. We also discuss the bigger picture: is the state trying to disappear Richard Allen to avoid scrutiny? Are they protecting a conviction at the expense of basic human rights? Or has the machine simply stopped caring what happens to the man at the center of one of the most contested murder trials in recent history? This is a wake-up call for anyone who believes due process is still alive and well in America. #RichardAllen #DelphiMurders #PrisonSystemFailure #InmateRights #TrueCrime #HiddenInmate #Disappeared #WrongfulConviction #DelphiCase #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Between 1946 and 1953, at a Massachusetts institution called the Walter E. Fernald State School, dozens of boys were recruited into something called a “Science Club.” They were promised special perks — better food, baseball games, trips to the beach. What they weren’t told was that their breakfast oatmeal and milk were secretly laced with radioactive iron and calcium. The so-called nutritional study was designed by scientists from MIT, funded in part by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, and co-sponsored by Quaker Oats, which supplied the cereal. The goal was to measure how well the body absorbed minerals from food — but the method violated every basic rule of ethics and consent. The children, many labeled “feebleminded” or “morons” by the state, were wards of Massachusetts — boys without parents, without rights, and without the ability to refuse. Some were even injected with radioactive materials in follow-up experiments. None were told what was happening to them. When the truth came out decades later, public outrage was immediate. Survivors like Fred Boyce came forward, saying the greatest harm wasn’t the radiation — it was being treated like an object, not a person. In 1998, MIT and Quaker Oats settled a class-action lawsuit for $1.85 million, and President Bill Clinton issued an apology on behalf of the federal government for Cold War-era human radiation testing. But behind the headlines is a bigger story — about power, secrecy, and the belief that science justifies anything. In this episode, we dig deep into the Fernald radioactive oatmeal experiments — what really happened, who was responsible, what became of the victims, and how it changed human-subject research forever.

What does life look like for Bryan Kohberger now that he’s off the front page and locked inside one of Idaho’s most restrictive prisons? In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we go inside the Idaho Maximum Security Institution—home to death row, long-term restrictive housing, and now, Bryan Kohberger. This is not general population. This is J Block. And the reality of Kohberger’s existence there is bleak. We break down every confirmed detail of his day-to-day life: • 23 hours a day in a single cell • One hour of solo outdoor rec • Showers every other day • Movement only in full restraints • Commissary as his only “task” of the week • Surveillance on all calls, messages, and mail • Visitation through glass, if allowed at all Using official records from the Idaho Department of Correction and verified reporting, this is a deeply researched, fact-driven look at the institutional monotony, isolation, and psychological erosion that defines Kohberger’s life today. This isn’t a story of redemption, revenge, or rehabilitation. It’s the slow, bureaucratic erasure of a man from public view—no longer a suspect, no longer a student, no longer in control. Tony Brueski guides you through this haunting portrait with the signature Hidden Killers voice: sharp, emotionally grounded, and relentlessly focused on truth over spectacle.

What do a murdered judge in rural Kentucky and a teenage girl found dead in a Tesla in Los Angeles have in common? Power. Silence. And the terrifying psychology of what happens when no one speaks up—until it’s too late. In this special Hidden Killers hour, we’re joined by Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, to break down two high-profile cases where power dynamics, manipulation, and narrative control aren’t just side plots—they’re the main event. 🚨 Segment One: The Sheriff & The Judge  In September 2024, Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines walked into Judge Kevin Mullins’ chambers and opened fire. The killing was caught on courthouse surveillance. But the deeper story? A civil rights lawsuit, women coming forward with allegations of sexual coercion tied to courthouse officials, and a justice system so insular that it turned on itself. Dreeke unpacks the behavioral collapse, the institutional rot, and what it means when the courthouse becomes the crime scene. 🚗 Segment Two: The Tesla Trunk & the Dead Girl  Celeste Rivas Hernandez, a teenager, was found dead in the front trunk of a Tesla linked to music artist d4vd. No one reported her missing. The car sat for weeks. And since the discovery? Nothing. No arrests. No statement. Just silence. Robin Dreeke helps us explore the psychology of concealment, celebrity protection, and how behavior always tells a story—even when the public statements never come. Together, these cases ask one chilling question: What happens when those in power are the ones who cross the line—and everyone else looks away? This episode dives deep into warning signs, behavioral red flags, and the emotional detachment that often precedes tragedy. From rural corruption to celebrity image control, Dreeke brings his years of FBI experience to help us see what these silences are really saying. 🔔 Subscribe for more in-depth breakdowns, expert behavioral analysis, and true crime coverage from the darkest corners of power and influence. #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimePodcast #PowerAndSilence #JusticeSystemFail #CelesteRivas #d4vd #LetcherCounty #JudgeMurder #PsychologicalAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this gripping psychological breakdown, we go beyond the headlines and into the behavioral blueprint of Bryan Kohberger—the man convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students. Was he a psychopath? A narcissist? Or something more complicated? Join Tony Brueski on Hidden Killers as we pull apart the clinical language behind the internet’s most overused labels. “Psychopath” and “narcissist” aren’t just insults—they’re technical profiles, rooted in years of forensic and psychological study. And in Kohberger’s case, the question isn’t just what he did… but why. What does his academic obsession with criminology reveal? What do prosecutors say about his movements before and after the crime? And what does his eerie silence in court actually mean—remorselessness or just legal strategy? We examine documented facts from court filings, affidavits, and verified reporting:  • The infamous knife sheath with DNA  • Cell phone records showing surveillance and signal gaps  • Prosecutors’ theory of forensic planning  • Kohberger’s alleged superiority complex and behavioral coldness Through the lens of expert frameworks—including the Hare Psychopathy Checklist and diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder—we’ll explore the traits the public finds chilling, and what they really mean. This isn’t a character assassination. It’s a forensic dissection of behavior, motive, and risk—delivered in Tony’s signature style: fact-driven, emotionally grounded, and built for audiences who want more than just true crime drama. No speculation. No sensationalism. Just what the public record shows—and what psychology helps us understand. 🔔 Subscribe for more deep dives into the darkest minds and most disturbing cases on Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski. #BryanKohberger #PsychopathOrNarcissist #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePsychology #KohbergerProfile #IdahoMurders #ForensicPsychology #CriminologyBreakdown #TrueCrimePodcast #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down the latest twist in the Bryan Kohberger saga — one that has nothing to do with guilt, innocence, or trial evidence, but everything to do with the system that’s supposed to hold everyone accountable. The Idaho Department of Correction has confirmed that the leaked prison video showing Kohberger inside his cell was authentic. The person responsible has been identified and is no longer employed. But the headline that’s sparking national debate: Idaho State Police say no criminal charges will be filed. “Insufficient evidence,” they called it. But what does that really mean? In this deep-dive editorial, Tony exposes how this decision isn’t just about one rogue employee — it’s about the cracks forming in the walls of justice itself. Because when people inside the system start deciding which rules apply and which don’t, the system stops being about law and order. It becomes about personal judgment. About vengeance dressed as justice. We’ll unpack: Why the act technically didn’t qualify as a criminal offense under Idaho law How this legal “gray zone” turns into a dangerous precedent for every inmate — and every citizen Why integrity behind prison walls matters just as much as the integrity of the courtroom The real meaning of “If they can do it to him, they can do it to anyone.” This isn’t a defense of Bryan Kohberger. It’s a defense of the rule of law. Because when power stops being restrained by principle, it stops being justice. Watch the full breakdown now, and decide for yourself — is this just a technicality, or a warning sign that the system is slipping? #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast #KohbergerVideo #JusticeSystem #PrisonLeak #IdahoDOC #RuleOfLaw Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we go deep inside the courtroom drama unfolding in Utah—the state’s capital murder case against Tyler James Robinson, the man accused of assassinating political figure Charlie Kirk during a public event at Utah Valley University. Robinson, just 22 years old, now faces aggravated murder and six additional felony charges. According to prosecutors, he left a note, allegedly confessed via text, and was tied to the weapon with forensic evidence. The state has made it clear: they’re seeking the death penalty. But here’s where the story shifts from headlines to process. Robinson is being represented by Kathryn Nester, a former federal public defender appointed by Utah County after Robinson was found indigent. According to multiple reports, Nester may be joined by nationally recognized capital attorneys Michael Burt and Richard Novak—though official court records haven’t yet confirmed their formal entry. This isn’t about politics. It’s about law. In this video, we examine: Why the Constitution requires a strong defense—even in emotionally charged, politically volatile cases. What makes a capital case different from a regular murder trial. How the prosecution plans to prove premeditation and political motivation. What the defense will likely challenge, from forensic chains to digital records. The next legal steps: preliminary hearings, motions, jury selection, and a possible penalty phase. This isn’t just about guilt or innocence. It’s a test of the entire justice system under maximum pressure. Whether you support the prosecution or are simply watching for truth, this is the story behind the story—where law meets reality.
