DNA, Trauma & Knife Training: Yogurt Shop Murders Spark Bigger Questions

It’s the breakthrough we weren’t sure we’d ever see—the Yogurt Shop Murders are finally solved, 34 years after four teenage girls were brutally killed in Austin, Texas. In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels dissect the shocking press conference that named Robert Eugene Brashears as the lone killer—thanks to a powerful combo of DNA, ballistic forensics, and forensic genealogy. He’s dead, but the truth finally isn’t.

But this segment isn't just about the headline. It’s about what took so damn long, the false confessions that wrecked innocent lives, and the mountain of physical evidence that sat untouched in filing cabinets for decades.

The conversation quickly pivots from crime to culture—because if this case proves anything, it’s that no one’s coming to save you. Stacy opens up about her real-life decision to train in martial arts and hide knives around her apartment—not for paranoia, but for survival. And she’s not alone. The live chat explodes with women chiming in: same story, same fear, same defensive strategy.

This episode dives deep into the psychological scars of systemic failure, the emotional intelligence we’re not teaching, and the false binary of being paranoid vs. being prepared.

Also covered: the myth of “junk DNA science,” how 23andMe might’ve saved a life, and why too many public spaces feel like danger zones. Plus, a brutally honest conversation about growing up in fear, the trauma that shapes us, and what “safety” even means in today’s world.

Watch now. Comment if you’ve ever felt the same. And tell us—do you trust science, or Reddit?

From Army Misconduct to Badge & Gun: Bob Motta On The Murder Of Sona Massey-WEEK IN REVIEW

From Army Misconduct to Badge & Gun: Bob Motta On The Murder Of Sona Massey-WEEK IN REVIEW

Before he killed Sonya Massey, Deputy Sean Grayson was already a walking liability — fired from department after department, discharged from the Army for misconduct, arrested for DUI, and still somehow cleared to wear a badge in Illinois. In this powerful conversation, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels and attorney Bob Motta expose how that happened — and why it keeps happening. From failed background checks to lax hiring standards, the system designed to protect the public instead recycles problem officers. The result: tragedy after tragedy. Grayson’s conviction for second-degree murder feels hollow when the larger machine that put him in that kitchen still runs unchecked. Tony and Bob unpack the loopholes, the union protections, and the culture of silence that let Grayson slip through every filter. They also explore Illinois’ new “Sonya’s Law,” the state’s attempt to patch the holes after it was too late — and whether any of it will stop the next preventable death. Hidden Killers — where we hold the system accountable, one case at a time. #SonyaMassey #SeanGrayson #PoliceReform #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #BobMotta #TrueCrime #JusticeForSonya #SystemicFailure #LawEnforcement #Accountability #Podcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Fall of “Mr. Crafty Pants”: From DIY Star to Criminal Charges-WEEK IN REVIEW

The Fall of “Mr. Crafty Pants”: From DIY Star to Criminal Charges-WEEK IN REVIEW

He called himself Mr. Crafty Pants — a cheerful, family-friendly DIY YouTuber whose tutorials reached hundreds of thousands of homes. Now, that same man, Michael David Booth, is facing felony charges in Kentucky for possession and distribution of illegal material involving minors. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we break down exactly what happened — from the first Kik CyberTip that triggered the investigation, to the digital forensics that traced the account back to Booth’s suburban Louisville home. We’ll examine the legal path forward: grand-jury proceedings, state vs. federal jurisdiction, and the serious penalties tied to KRS 531.335 and 531.340. We’ll also ask the bigger questions: Why do audiences trust online personas so easily? How does “family-friendly” branding disarm critical thinking? And what does this mean for the influencer world that thrives on parasocial trust? Booth has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent until proven otherwise. But the case itself exposes a hard truth about digital culture: we’ve built a system that rewards image over integrity — and when that image collapses, everyone who believed in it feels the impact. 🎙 Join Tony Brueski for a full deep dive into the Mr. Crafty Pants case — the investigation, the evidence, and the cultural fallout of a brand built on trust and undone by technology. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #MrCraftyPants #MichaelDavidBooth #TrueCrimeToday #LawAndCrime #InfluencerScandal #DigitalForensics #KentuckyCourt #CriminalCharges #YouTubeCreators #InternetSafety #TrueCrimePodcast #LegalAnalysis #BreakingCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What Could Trigger Charges For Wendi Adelson? -WEEK IN REVIEW

What Could Trigger Charges For Wendi Adelson? -WEEK IN REVIEW

In the shocking aftermath of Donna Adelson’s life sentence and Charlie Adelson’s conviction, one name still hangs in the air: Wendi Adelson. Dan Markel was murdered in 2014, shot in his Tallahassee driveway amid a vicious custody battle. The plot has been proven. The masterminds have been convicted. The money trail is mapped. And yet, the woman at the center of the motive — Wendi Adelson, Markel’s ex-wife — remains uncharged. Why? In this Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski deep-dive, we break down what could actually trigger charges against Wendi. From the missing digital breadcrumbs investigators are still hunting for, to the financial threads that could expose her involvement, to the possibility that her own mother might one day flip — this is the story of how close the final Adelson may be to losing her freedom. We examine the fragile line between suspicion and evidence, the psychological toll of living as the “unindicted co-conspirator,” and the quiet calculations happening behind the scenes at the State Attorney’s Office. What happens if Donna decides to talk? If an old phone backup surfaces? If a single email connects the dots? This episode doesn’t speculate — it investigates. We strip away the noise to reveal the three triggers that could finally end Wendi Adelson’s long run outside the courtroom: 1️⃣ A digital link proving coordination. 2️⃣ A financial trail tying her to the payoff. 3️⃣ A cooperating witness naming her outright. Until one of those surfaces, Wendi remains the Adelson who walked free. But freedom built on silence doesn’t last forever.

Melodee Buzzard & The Great Vanishing: How California Lost 150,000 Kids-WEEK IN REVIEW

Melodee Buzzard & The Great Vanishing: How California Lost 150,000 Kids-WEEK IN REVIEW

Melodee Buzzard’s disappearance isn’t an anomaly — it’s the warning sign of a statewide collapse. Between 2019 and 2022, California’s public-school rolls dropped by 270,000 students. Roughly 150,000 of them remain unaccounted for in any school, private affidavit, or relocation record. They didn’t all move — many simply vanished from the data, the same way Melodee vanished from oversight. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and the panel connect the dots between one missing-child case and the larger crisis of invisible minors. We’ll analyze state education reports, CPS workload numbers, and how “independent study” loopholes became a hiding place for abuse and neglect. We’ll also ask the uncomfortable question: If a state can lose track of 150,000 children on paper, how many are in real danger off the record? This is not fear-mongering — it’s a forensic look at bureaucratic blindness and the cultural apathy that lets it continue. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #MelodeeBuzzard #GreatVanishing #MissingKids #CaliforniaCPS #EducationCrisis #SystemFailure #TrueCrimeToday #LawAndCrime #GroupDiscussion #PostCovid #DataInvestigation #ChildSafety Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
