Donna Adelson on Trial Mastermind Or Losing Her Mind?-WEEK IN REVIEW

The death of Ellen Greenberg has haunted Philadelphia for over a decade—but now, a new 2025 “independent” review by the same Medical Examiner’s Office that once ruled her death a homicide, then reversed itself, has reignited public outrage. In this episode, we break down the new 32-page report by Dr. Lindsay Simon—billed as a “fresh look”—and expose just how deeply embedded bias and institutional self-preservation appear to be in its findings. From selective evidence interpretation to implausible forensic leaps, the review paints a troubling picture of a system investigating itself and calling it justice. We dissect the major red flags:  • The knife in her chest, 20+ stab wounds—some in the back—and a locked apartment  • Claims of “no signs of struggle,” despite over 30 bruises on Ellen’s body  • The “spinal cord artifact” explanation that dismisses incapacitation  • Psychological characterizations based on anxiety—not suicidal ideation  • How this report dismisses experts, overlooks key inconsistencies, and leans on confirmation bias Is this truly an objective review? Or is it a bureaucratic performance designed to close the book and shield the city from liability? We’re unpacking every flaw, contradiction, and narrative sleight-of-hand in a case that refuses to stay silent.  #EllenGreenberg #TrueCrime #MedicalExaminer #JusticeForEllen #PhiladelphiaCrime #ForensicFailure #CoverUp #WrongfulDeath #TrueCrimePodcast #DatelineStyle Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Harvey Adelson hasn’t been charged. But he’s far from forgotten. In this episode, we walk the razor’s edge of what the evidence actually says about Harvey Adelson—the patriarch of a family fractured by murder, scandal, and courtroom spectacle. From wiretaps and Zelle subpoenas to call-detail records and coded texts, we examine the mounting circumstantial web that places Harvey near the center of a conspiracy that has already led to multiple life sentences. We dissect:  • Messages about a "birthday present" that prosecutors say point to premeditated planning  • Call records placing Harvey’s number in contact with key figures in the murder plot  • Wiretap approvals and jailhouse testimony naming him in alleged obstruction  • Zelle account activity and witness tampering claims  • The Vietnam jet bridge arrest with Donna—was it awareness or coincidence? This is not a story of guilt by association. It’s a careful, fact-based analysis of what’s already in the public record—and whether it’s enough to tip the scales toward indictment. Because in the Markel murder case, silence isn’t the same as innocence. It’s just the part of the story waiting to be told.  #HarveyAdelson #DanMarkelMurder #UnindictedCoConspirator #AdelsonFamily #TrueCrimePodcast #ConspiracyCase #WitnessTampering #ZelleTransfers #MarkelJustice #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

If the system’s goal was to quiet the Ellen Greenberg case with one last official ruling — it failed. Badly. The 2025 report from Philadelphia’s Medical Examiner, reclassifying nothing and explaining even less, is now being dissected by the people who understand just how dangerous this kind of language can be. In this episode, defense attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole to pull the curtain back on how institutions like the M.E.’s office use carefully worded findings to sidestep accountability. They examine what the report conveniently redefines, what it conveniently omits, and why this case now represents a larger crisis in public trust. This isn’t theory. This is what happens when legal self-preservation takes precedence over factual clarity — and it’s playing out in plain sight. The Ellen Greenberg case isn’t just unsolved. It’s being strategically sealed shut. #EllenGreenberg #JusticeForEllenGreenberg #EllenGreenbergCase #BobMotta #HiddenKillersPodcast #TrueCrimeTruth #SystemicFailure #MedicalExaminerReport #InstitutionalDeflection #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why did Bryan Kohberger suddenly plead guilty after nearly two years of pretrial warfare? The answer might be more personal—and more psychological—than legal. In this breakdown, we explore how the revelation that Kohberger’s sister, Amanda, was on the prosecution’s witness list may have triggered a collapse in his carefully controlled defense. For a man driven by dominance, image, and manipulation, the prospect of family testifying against him may have cut deeper than any courtroom battle. We unpack:  • The timeline between Amanda being listed and Kohberger's plea  • What his control-obsessed behavior says about the psychology of his decision  • How avoiding a trial may have spared his family—and preserved his own narcissistic narrative  • The legal pressures: failed suppression motions, damning DNA rulings, and an inevitable death penalty trial  • The psychology of narcissistic collapse and what it looks like when the mask slips Was it guilt, fear, or one last act of ego-driven control disguised as mercy? This is the deeper story behind Kohberger’s plea—and what it says about him.  #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #KohbergerGuilty #CriminalPsychology #TrueCrimeBreakdown #KohbergerFamily #ControlAndCollapse #TrueCrimePodcast #PsychologicalProfile #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

They kill. Then they smile for cameras, clock in for work, or go grocery shopping. In this chilling Hidden Killers investigation, we explore “The Performance of Normal” — the haunting calm that follows murder. Starting with Bryan Kohberger, who prosecutors say was seen casually shopping hours after the brutal Idaho student murders, we dive deep into the psychology behind that eerie stillness. Why do some killers seem completely composed after committing horrific crimes? From John List, who ate lunch next to his wife’s body before vanishing for 18 years… To Dennis Rader (BTK), who left a Boy Scout camp to murder and came back by morning to flip pancakes for the troop. To Chris Watts, who went to work just hours after killing his pregnant wife and daughters. To Stephen McDaniel, who gave a TV interview about his “missing” neighbor — the same woman he had just murdered. To Colonel Russell Williams, a respected Canadian military commander smiling for charity photos days after taking a life. To Tyler Hadley, the Florida teen who killed his parents, then threw a party with their bodies hidden in the next room. To Susan Smith, the mother who tearfully begged for her children’s return after drowning them herself. And Ian Huntley, the school caretaker who joined the search for two girls he had already murdered. This episode examines the psychology of composure — how killers weaponize calmness, and why society so often mistakes it for innocence. It’s not just what they do. It’s what they don’t. Because sometimes, evil doesn’t look like rage. It looks like control. It looks like “normal.” 🔔 Subscribe for more true crime breakdowns with Tony Brueski — the cases that stay with you long after the headlines fade. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #TrueCrime #ChrisWatts #BTK #JohnList #StephenMcDaniel #RussellWilliams #SusanSmith #TylerHadley #IanHuntley #PsychologyOfMurder #TrueCrimePodcast #MurderCases #BryanKohbergerCostco #Evil #CalmAfterMurder #DatelineStyle #HiddenKillersPodcast #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two headlines. Two high-profile cases. One unfiltered breakdown. In this powerful double-segment, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to examine two of the most complex and closely watched stories in true crime right now: the federal sentencing of Sean “Diddy” Combs, and the unsolved death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas-Hernandez, found deceased in the front trunk of a Tesla linked to musician d4vd. 🔹 Segment One: Diddy Behind Bars With Combs now serving a 50-month sentence for transporting women across state lines under the Mann Act, we ask the real questions: Is this the end of his legal exposure—or just a pause? Could in-custody behavior, like witness contact or coded messaging, spark new FBI investigations? How do digital forensics teams handle terabytes of seized content—and what happens if they find new crimes? Why celebrity status may actually increase surveillance, not lessen it. 🔹 Segment Two: The d4vd/Celeste Tesla Case Weeks after Celeste’s body was discovered in a Tesla frunk—no suspects have been named. We dig into: Why the FBI and local law enforcement may delay arrests despite explosive facts How property transfers, seized electronics, and location data build quiet cases The forensic timelines behind digital extractions, cause-of-death delays, and cross-jurisdiction coordination The psychological markers of concealment and manipulation in cases involving fame, image control, and youth victims If you’ve been wondering why both of these cases feel like they’re on pause—or possibly about to erupt—this conversation unpacks the truth with insight only a former federal agent can deliver. 🔔 Subscribe for more deep-dive true crime interviews and expert breakdowns. #Diddy #SeanCombs #CelesteRivas #d4vd #JenniferCoffindaffer #FBIInterview #MannAct #TeslaFrunk #JusticeForCeleste #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #DigitalEvidence #WitnessTampering #SupersedingIndictment #CelebrityCrime #UnsolvedCase #CrimeSceneInvestigation #ForensicFiles #LawAndCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When a decomposing body was found in the front trunk of a Tesla linked to indie musician D4vd, it shattered the silence around a missing person case that had gone largely ignored. The body was that of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, reported missing in 2024. But it wasn’t law enforcement who made the next big move—it was the owner of the Hollywood Hills home D4vd had rented. He hired a private investigator. This segment dives into the unanswered questions swirling around the Tesla body discovery: How did Celeste die? Who left her there? Why is there so much silence? And why did it take a dead teenager linked to a pop star to finally get people to care? We examine the implications of private citizens hiring investigators when law enforcement stays quiet—and what it means when justice is outsourced to those just trying to protect their names. #CelesteRivas #D4vd #TeslaBodyCase #PrivateInvestigation #HollywoodMystery #LAPDCase #MissingPersons #TrueCrime2025 #JusticeForCeleste #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Patricia Krenwinkel—once Manson’s obedient soldier, now 77 years old—is once again seeking freedom. And once again, California said no. Governor Gavin Newsom reversed her parole for the second time, citing her shallow insight into the brutal murders she committed in 1969. In this piece, we dig into the real reason Krenwinkel remains behind bars. It’s not about her age or her behavior in prison. It’s about accountability. Insight. The inability to fully explain how she became capable of chasing down a bleeding woman and stabbing her 28 times—not in a frenzy, but as part of a mission. We walk through the murders, the ideology, the performative bloodshed—and why, despite decades of rehabilitation, some crimes must carry a permanent consequence.  #PatriciaKrenwinkel #MansonFamily #ParoleDenied #HelterSkelter #TrueCrime #GovernorNewsom #SharonTate #AbigailFolger #JusticeForVictims #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
