Letters from the Dark: Donna Adelson’s Prison Plea & Chad Daybell’s Ghost Confession-WEEK IN REVIEW

Letters from the Dark: Donna Adelson’s Prison Plea & Chad Daybell’s Ghost Confession-WEEK IN REVIEW

In this full episode of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels take you inside the minds of two of America’s most notorious convicted murderers — Donna Adelson and Chad Daybell — through the words they wrote themselves.

Segment 1: Donna Adelson’s Prison Letter
From a Florida jail cell, Donna Adelson wrote a 2024 letter to her husband Harvey describing how her heart “breaks” over missing her grandsons’ first day of school. What could have been a rare glimpse of remorse quickly spirals into denial and bitterness:

“If I don’t get out, then hopefully I die soon so no one remembers me in prison garb.”

She paints herself as the victim of “vigilante justice” and a “southern sweetheart prosecutor,” refusing to accept any role in the plot that left her former son-in-law, Dan Markel, dead.
The Markel family’s official statement, read in court, shredded that illusion — accusing Donna of callous indifference and of cutting off Markel’s parents from their grandsons for six years.
Tony unpacks the psychology of control, image management, and moral blindness that define the Adelson saga — and why Donna’s letter might be the most revealing confession she never meant to write.

Segment 2: Chad Daybell’s Ghost Story Letter
Then, we shift from manipulation to mysticism. In “Letter #7,” Chad Daybell — the self-proclaimed prophet now convicted of multiple murders — recounts his time as a Utah cemetery sexton.
He writes of being haunted by a thief’s ghost, attacked by unseen forces, and taunted by demonic voices shouting, “We hate your books!” He interprets it all as proof that Heaven had chosen him for a divine mission.
Tony dissects how this “ghost story” maps the arc of Daybell’s descent — from fantasy and grandiosity to apocalyptic belief — showing how delusion and ego fused into a theology that justified murder.

Two letters. Two minds. One terrifying common thread: a total inability to see reality — or remorse — through the walls they built around themselves.

False Imprisonment and a Missing Child: The Disturbing Case of Ashley and Melody Buzzard

False Imprisonment and a Missing Child: The Disturbing Case of Ashley and Melody Buzzard

A haunting mystery unfolds in the disappearance of 9-year-old Melody Buzzard, a case that has gripped the true crime community and left investigators racing to uncover the truth. When Melody’s school first raised alarms after she stopped showing up in August, few could imagine the dark spiral that would follow. Her mother, Ashley Buzzard, already struggling with mental health issues after losing her husband in a motorcycle accident, became increasingly isolated and erratic — cutting Melody off from friends, family, and the outside world. According to new reports from NewsNation, Ashley took Melody on a bizarre 3,000-mile cross-country trip to Nebraska and back. But only Ashley returned. Questions immediately mounted: What happened on that road trip? Where is Melody now? The timeline defies logic — three days, thousands of miles, no rest — and the growing concern over Ashley’s mental state made the story even more alarming. Family members described her home as being in squalor, with no food and signs of serious neglect. Then came the breaking development: Ashley Buzzard was arrested, not initially for Melody’s disappearance, but for false imprisonment after allegedly trapping a longtime friend, Tyler Brewer, inside her home. Brewer claimed Ashley became violent and incoherent — and even made shocking statements about what happened to Melody. Although police have not confirmed the contents of that conversation, investigators believe it may hold crucial clues. Now, a private investigator named Bill Garcia has joined the case, working pro bono for Melody’s paternal family. As law enforcement and federal agencies dig deeper, this haunting case echoes the urgency and heartbreak of the Gabby Petito investigation. Every new clue, every timeline discrepancy, brings us closer to understanding what really happened to Melody Buzzard — and whether there’s still hope for a miracle ending. #MelodyBuzzard #AshleyBuzzard #MissingChild #TrueCrimeNews #BreakingNews #Investigation #JusticeForMelody #NewsNation #MissingPersons #TrueCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

“Massage for Prince Andrew”: House Panel Exposes Shocking New Epstein Ledger Entries

“Massage for Prince Andrew”: House Panel Exposes Shocking New Epstein Ledger Entries

Prince Andrew’s past just caught up with him — again. The U.S. House Oversight Committee has officially requested that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, sit for a transcribed interview under oath about his involvement with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. This unprecedented move marks the first time a U.S. congressional body has formally sought testimony from a member of the British royal family in connection with Epstein’s network. In this powerful episode, Tony Brueski breaks down the explosive details of the congressional letter, signed by sixteen House Democrats, which cites flight logs, financial ledgers labeled “massage for Andrew,” and emails showing a disturbingly close relationship between Andrew and Epstein long after Epstein’s conviction. The committee’s request goes far beyond curiosity — they’re following the money, the documents, and the survivors’ testimony to uncover just how deep Andrew’s involvement really went. Congressman Suhas Subramanyam says multiple survivors have come forward alleging that Virginia Giuffre was not the only woman trafficked to Andrew — and that new leads could expose a broader pattern of abuse and complicity. With Epstein’s estate handing over more than 17,000 documents and financial records, investigators now believe they may be closing in on the truth. As the walls close in, Andrew’s refusal to cooperate could have devastating consequences — not just legally, but for the already fragile reputation of the monarchy. From the 2011 email where Andrew wrote to Epstein “We’re in this together,” to the alleged effort to smear Giuffre through his royal protection officer, this episode pulls no punches in exposing the arrogance, privilege, and denial that kept Epstein’s network alive. Subscribe and listen as Tony Brueski unpacks the congressional strategy, the survivor testimony, and what may finally be Prince Andrew’s reckoning. #PrinceAndrew #JeffreyEpstein #EpsteinFiles #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #RoyalScandal #Congress #SexTrafficking #HouseOversight #VirginiaGiuffre Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Too “Traumatized” to Stand Trial? The Truth About Brian Walshe’s Competency Hearing

Too “Traumatized” to Stand Trial? The Truth About Brian Walshe’s Competency Hearing

As Brian Walshe’s competency hearing looms, a new question is taking over the courtroom: is he really unable to stand trial—or is this just another con from a man who’s been manipulating people his entire life? In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we revisit the evidence that started it all. The disturbing Google searches like “10 ways to dispose of a body,” “Hacksaw best tool to dismember,” and “Can you be charged with murder without a body.” The Home Depot trip caught on camera. The blood in the basement, the broken knife, the trash bags full of evidence—all of it pointing to a carefully constructed cover-up following the disappearance of Ana Walshe on New Year’s Day, 2023. We also dig into Walshe’s long history of fraud, deceit, and manipulation—from the Andy Warhol art scam to the conflicting stories he spun after Ana vanished. And now, after a jailhouse stabbing that left him claiming trauma and confusion, the defense says he’s too impaired to participate in his trial. But is this genuine mental decline—or yet another strategy to delay the inevitable? Tony breaks down the psychology of control, the legal threshold for competency, and the patterns that define serial manipulators like Walshe. This case isn’t about memory loss or confusion—it’s about whether the justice system can recognize when it’s being played. ⚖️ Walshe remains presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
