WSU in the Hot Seat — Did They Ignore the Warnings About Kohberger?

WSU in the Hot Seat — Did They Ignore the Warnings About Kohberger?

The Goncalves family has taken the next step — not criminal, but civil. They’ve filed claims against Washington State University, arguing the school ignored repeated red flags about Brian Kohberger before the murders in Moscow.

And now the question becomes: Does the law agree?

In this deep-dive episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski sits down with former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis to unpack the legal claims, the duty-of-care standards, the foreseeability argument, and the staggering list of complaints that WSU allegedly received long before the killings.

Tony and Eric break down the core issues:

• What duty does a university have when a graduate student — and teaching assistant — has multiple formal complaints?
• Do warnings like “He’s a predator in the making” create legal exposure?
• Do stalking-adjacent behaviors — blocking doorways, following students — meet the threshold for negligent supervision?
• Does the fact that the murders occurred off-campus, in another state, change the legal calculus?
• Could WSU actually be found liable for failing to remove or restrict him?
• Or will the university argue: “We couldn’t have seen this coming”?
• And is this lawsuit partly about discovery — forcing WSU to release internal emails, HR files, and Title IX records?

Eric walks us through what plaintiffs need to prove, what defenses WSU will likely mount, and why this case could have massive implications for universities nationwide if a court allows it to move forward.

This is one of the most legally significant developments to emerge from the Moscow murders — and it could reshape university policies around reporting, supervision, and risk.

One Giant Trial: Rex Heuermann Faces 7 Gilgo Beach Murder Charges Together

One Giant Trial: Rex Heuermann Faces 7 Gilgo Beach Murder Charges Together

One Giant Trial: Rex Heuermann Faces 7 Gilgo Beach Murder Charges Together The Gilgo Beach case just changed forever. A judge ruled that seven murder charges against Rex Heuermann will be combined into one massive trial — a decision that could define justice for the victims and their families. Tony and Eric Faddis dissect what this means for the prosecution, the defense, and the jury. Does combining the cases give the state overwhelming power, or does it create unfair prejudice against the accused? How will jurors weigh a pattern of killings spread across decades? And what role will advanced DNA techniques play in sealing Heuermann’s fate? This is more than a legal technicality — it’s a move that reshapes one of the biggest serial killer cases in America.

Asa and the Daughter: Will Accused Gilgo Killer Heuermann’s Family Take the Stand?

Asa and the Daughter: Will Accused Gilgo Killer Heuermann’s Family Take the Stand?

Asa and the Daughter: Will Accused Gilgo Killer Heuermann’s Family Take the Stand? “New to court” isn’t “made up yesterday.” With Jennifer Coffindaffer, we translate the court-approved hair genome sequencing into plain English: what it shows, what it can’t do, and how to explain it without turning jurors into lab techs. Expect the defense to yell “junk science”; expect prosecutors to answer with validation, protocols, and conservative takes that land. We walk the “household hair” tightrope—finding family hairs on burlap sacks is eye-catching, but transfer and secondary transfer are real. The job is to explain significance without implying guilt by osmosis. Then we talk about the witnesses closest to Rex Heuermann—could his daughter testify? Would Asa sit out or take the stand? Immunity, exposure, credibility—how those choices look from the jury box matters. And yes, the calendar. Discovery fights, expert disclosures, possible added counts—2027 isn’t dramatic; it’s realistic. The joinder win gives the state runway. Landing the plane will take clean science, credible witnesses, and pacing that respects juror skepticism.

Deleted Posts, Grooming Claims & Tattoos: D4VD Case Deepens

Deleted Posts, Grooming Claims & Tattoos: D4VD Case Deepens

Deleted Posts, Grooming Claims & Tattoos: D4VD Case Deepens Beyond the shocking discovery of Celeste’s body, disturbing details keep surfacing about D4VD’s connection to her. Reports of matching tattoos, grooming concerns, and deleted online posts have thrown fuel on the fire of public suspicion. Tony and Eric Faddis explore how these elements complicate the case. Did a celebrity use influence to blur the lines of consent? Was Celeste being hidden in plain sight as a runaway? And why are posts on Discord and Reddit allegedly tied to D4VD’s circle suddenly vanishing? From music videos showing bodies in trunks to the disturbing optics of shared tattoos with a minor, this case raises urgent questions about power, control, and accountability.

D4vd and the Tesla Trunk Homicide: Full Timeline and Evidence

D4vd and the Tesla Trunk Homicide: Full Timeline and Evidence

D4vd and the Tesla Trunk Homicide: Full Timeline and Evidence This is the entire D4vd arc in one run—no topic hopscotch. With Jennifer Coffindaffer, we build the timeline from the Hollywood Hills abandonment to the tow-lot discovery and explain why a disciplined investigation can look “slow” from the outside: good cases are built on quiet work, not noise. We lay out what a Tesla can realistically provide—access events, navigation history, maybe camera data if it wasn’t disabled—and where that digital exhaust needs help from trace and humans who can actually place hands on a wheel. We separate attention bait from evidence. The viral concert clip? Walked back. A teacher’s classroom pickup video? If verified, potentially timeline-relevant. Tattoos and lyrics might feel “on brand,” but in court they’re decor unless tied to dates, places, and acts. On the forensic side, we talk like adults: how pathologists distinguish dismemberment from decomposition, what toxicology can still add despite heat and time, and what a homicide ruling really signals. Standard of proof stays front-and-center: linkage isn’t guilt. As of this recording, there are no charges. Everyone is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. We close with the practical checklist to move this from headline to case file: corroborated timelines, converging digital + forensic hits, and communications evidence that doesn’t collapse under scrutiny.
