Chad Daybell’s Bizarre Prison Letters & The Charlie Kirk Assassination: Full Breakdown with FBI Expert In this extended edition of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels, we dive deep into two of the most disturbing and talked-about true crime stories unfolding right now. First, we crack open Chad Daybell’s prison letters — surreal writings from death row where the convicted killer and doomsday cult leader attempts to rebrand himself as a misunderstood prophet, loving husband, and spiritual family man. Through AI technology, Daybell’s letters are read in his own voice, revealing a bizarre mix of nostalgia, music playlists, and denial. We break down what he says, what he leaves out, and how his narcissism bleeds through every line. From bookshelf stories to Whitney Houston “prophecies,” these letters are as chilling as they are absurd. Then, the show pivots to the breaking news of the Charlie Kirk assassination. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, former chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, joins us for a hard-hitting discussion. We unpack the profile of the 22-year-old suspect, his seemingly normal Utah upbringing, and how online radicalization, fear, and echo chambers may have played a role. Dreeke explains the lone wolf assassin pattern, why curiosity is key to prevention, and how foreign actors exploit America’s divisions to sow chaos. This full show captures the insanity of Chad Daybell’s self-delusion and the dangerous climate surrounding political violence in the U.S. It’s equal parts chilling, revealing, and necessary viewing for anyone trying to understand how cult psychology, radicalization, and societal fractures collide in 2025.

INSANITY Plea: Amish Mom Who Drowned Son Says It Was “God’s Will” — Courtroom Bombshells After shocking police with her “in a fish” bodycam confession, Ruth Miller now faces the courts. Charged with drowning her 4-year-old son after her husband walked to his death in Atwood Lake, Miller’s attorneys have entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. But will the court believe she didn’t know right from wrong — or will religious extremism be viewed as no excuse for murder? In this Hidden Killers Live breakdown, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels take apart the defense’s strategy and what it means for justice. Attorneys argue Miller’s actions were driven by a severe mental illness, pointing to bodycam footage as proof she was experiencing delusion in real time. Prosecutors, meanwhile, will push the question of whether this was truly psychosis — or simply religious belief taken too far. The panel compares Ruth Miller’s case to infamous “doomsday mom” Lori Vallow Daybell, asking: does growing up in an isolated Amish community change the way we view accountability? If a person is indoctrinated from birth, do they see murder as sacrifice instead of crime? And how much leeway should the law give when faith collides with reality? This segment also pulls back the curtain on Amish culture itself — a world often hidden from outsiders, where abuse and mental health issues can go unchecked for years. The hosts debate whether this tragedy was the result of one woman’s breakdown or the natural outcome of a system that discourages outside intervention. The show ends on a surreal but fitting note — with dark humor, broken fish props, and a Billy Bass tangent that underscores the absurdity of finding levity in the darkest stories. #RuthMiller #Amish #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #AtwoodLake #InsanityDefense #LoriVallow #OhioCrime #ReligiousExtremism #FaithAndCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

INSANE Confession: Amish Mom Claims Husband Is “In a Fish” After Drowning at Ohio Lake  It sounds like something ripped straight from a dark biblical parable — but it’s real. At a quiet Ohio lake, what should have been a simple Amish family camping trip turned into one of the most shocking true crime stories of the year. By the end of the day, Marcus Miller was dead, 4-year-old Vincent was drowned, and his mother Ruth Miller was calmly telling police on bodycam that her husband was “at the bottom of the lake in a fish.” In this Hidden Killers Live segment, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels break down the timeline of August 23rd at Atwood Lake. What started as a “test from God” spiraled into horror: Marcus walking into the water and never returning, Ruth “giving” her son to God, and her desperate claim to officers that her husband had been swallowed whole like a modern-day Jonah. The hosts dig deep into the questions this case forces us to ask: Was Ruth Miller insane, or was this faith taken to its most destructive extreme? How does a community with limited access to mental health care handle delusions that masquerade as religious devotion? And how can a family’s private spiral turn into a public tragedy that shocks the entire country? With bodycam footage capturing Ruth’s chilling calmness, this case exposes the razor-thin line between devotion and delusion, faith and psychosis. Is this simply madness — or a warning about what happens when insular belief systems collide with untreated mental illness? #RuthMiller #Amish #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #AtwoodLake #InsanityDefense #OhioCrime #Bodycam #ReligiousDelusion #FaithAndCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

FBI BREAKS SILENCE: Explosive Press Conference on Charlie Kirk Assassination  This is the press conference that shook the nation. Following the arrest of Tyler Robinson for assassinating Charlie Kirk, the FBI, Utah’s governor, the DOJ, and local law enforcement revealed the evidence that cracked the case wide open — and sent an unmistakable message to America. In this Hidden Killers Live segment, Tony Brueski sets the stage as we take you inside the full presser. Investigators describe the rifle wrapped in a towel, bullet casings engraved with disturbing messages, surveillance footage, Discord chats about retrieving a weapon, and the bizarre mix of narcissism and rage that drove Robinson to act. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke reacts in real time, highlighting why this presser felt different: coordinated, calm, and professional — the opposite of the chaos we’ve seen in past cases. He explains why that matters, how leadership during moments like this builds public trust, and what it signals about the future of law enforcement in an era of rising political violence. This isn’t just evidence. It’s a roadmap for how America can either escalate into chaos — or de-escalate toward unity. #CharlieKirk #TylerRobinson #FBI #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #PressConference #TrueCrime #PoliticalViolence #Arrest #LawEnforcement Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
