Big Breakdown: Inside the Aftermath of Charlie Kirks’ Murder
Big Breakdown: Inside the Aftermath of Charlie Kirks’ Murder The assassination of Charlie Kirks has shaken America in a way few acts of political violence have in recent memory. In this Big Breakdown on Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we go inside the case with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to analyze the evidence, the psychology, and the aftermath. According to prosecutors, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson allegedly acted alone, deciding in just over a week to build his weapon, target Kirks, and carry out the murder. Investigators say he left a handwritten note, later destroyed by his partner, Lance Twigs — though a photographed copy remains central to the case. Add to that a chilling set of text messages where Robinson casually confessed — worrying more about his grandfather’s rifle and fingerprints than the fact he had just killed a man — and the picture becomes even darker. Coffindaffer breaks down why these texts matter, how the FBI will scrutinize the destroyed note, and why the “sloppiness” of this crime actually reinforces the lone wolf threat the Bureau has warned about for decades. This wasn’t a sophisticated plot with layers of planning — it was impulsive, callous, and terrifyingly easy to pull off. Then, Shavaun Scott joins the conversation to discuss why this assassination feels different for so many Americans. Why does the killing of a controversial but mainstream political commentator resonate across the political spectrum? What does it reveal about polarization, rage culture, and the addictive pull of online outrage? And why are conspiracy theories already flooding the conversation before the investigation is even complete? From the evidence on the ground to the broader cultural fallout, this episode explores both the criminal case against Robinson and the collective anxiety gripping America in the wake of Charlie Kirks’ murder.

Wendi Adelson’s Custody War: The Papers Dan Markel Never Lived to File
Wendi Adelson’s Custody War: The Papers Dan Markel Never Lived to File In July 2014, Florida State law professor Dan Markel was gunned down in his own driveway — a brutal murder that shocked Tallahassee and the entire legal world. For years, the question of why lingered. Now, attorney Stephen Webster, who represented Dan during his bitter custody battle with ex-wife Wendi Adelson, is revealing the chilling truth about what was supposed to happen the morning of the murder. Webster says he and Dan had “damning paperwork” ready to file against Wendi Adelson — filings that could have changed everything in their custody war. According to Webster, these filings allegedly included motions to restrict Wendi’s custody, contempt claims for violating parenting orders, and evidence of how much her family was controlling the fight. In short, it was a direct threat to the Adelsons’ grip over Dan’s two young sons. But those papers never made it to court. That morning, Dan was ambushed and shot twice in the head, killed before the filings could be stamped by a judge. With Donna and Charlie Adelson now convicted in the murder plot, the timing of the attack looks chilling in hindsight. The motive wasn’t abstract. It was immediate. The Adelsons allegedly acted to stop legal documents that could expose their interference and weaken Wendi’s custody case. This episode dives deep into the story of the paperwork that never got filed — how it may have played into motive, how it allegedly sealed Dan’s fate, and how one family’s obsession with control led to one of the most notorious murder-for-hire cases in Florida history. Was Dan Markel killed not just for who he was, but for what he was about to do in court? 🔑 Hashtags #DanMarkel #WendiAdelson #AdelsonFamily #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #MurderForHire #CustodyBattle #JusticeForDan #CourtFilings #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Body Found in D4vd’s Tesla: The Full Story of Celeste Rivas Hernandez
Body Found in D4vd’s Tesla: The Full Story of Celeste Rivas Hernandez On September 8, 2025, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed the identity of a body discovered in a Tesla registered to singer D4vd (David Anthony Burke). The victim was 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who had been reported missing in April 2024 from Lake Elsinore, California. The Tesla had been towed two days earlier from a Hollywood street and impounded. When staff at the tow yard noticed a foul odor, police were called. Inside the trunk, they found Celeste’s remains, severely decomposed and wrapped inside a bag. Investigators immediately launched an intensive probe into how a missing teenager ended up in a car belonging to one of music’s fastest-rising stars. Within days, LAPD served a search warrant at a Hollywood Hills residence where D4vd had been staying, seizing items for forensic review. As of late September, no charges have been filed and no suspects named. The cause and manner of Celeste’s death remain pending, awaiting full autopsy results. The discovery has shaken two very different communities: the music industry, where D4vd had just released his debut album Withered earlier this year, and Lake Elsinore, where Celeste’s family and friends held a candlelight vigil on September 22 to honor her life and demand justice. This episode of Hidden Killers takes you through the full story, from the tow lot to the vigil, with careful attention to what is confirmed and what remains unknown. We explore how investigators are piecing together the forensic timeline, what post-offense concealment can reveal in a case like this, and why the human cost—the loss of a 15-year-old girl—is what matters most. This is not about sensationalism. It’s about accountability, community, and the pursuit of justice for Celeste.

Who Fathered Sandra Birchmore’s Child? The DNA Questions & Police Cover-Up EXPOSED!
Who Fathered Sandra Birchmore’s Child? The DNA Questions & Police Cover-Up EXPOSED! The Sandra Birchmore case doesn’t end with Farwell’s arrest. This segment asks the hard questions: who fathered Sandra’s child, why did officers destroy their phones, and how far did the cover-up go inside Massachusetts law enforcement? With chilling echoes of the Karen Read case, the discussion unpacks destroyed evidence, phone wipes, and the desperate attempts at self-preservation by officers who may not have murdered Sandra but almost certainly knew too much. The debate over DNA highlights another layer: multiple officers admitted to sexual contact with Sandra, raising disturbing questions about exploitation, accountability, and systemic rot. It’s a story about more than one corrupt cop — it’s about an entire culture that enabled him, protected him, and only acted when federal authorities forced the issue.
