Bryan Kohberger's Warning Signs Were OFF THE CHARTS & IGNORED! Before four innocent lives were lost in Idaho, the warning signs were everywhere—and no one acted. In this Big Breakdown, we dissect the red flags in Bryan Kohberger’s behavior that were screaming for attention, from his disturbing online posts to academic essays that now read like confessions. How did a man this unstable make it through criminology programs, social circles, and daily life without anyone connecting the dots? We’ll explore his obsessive tendencies, his controlling behaviors, his socially isolated worldview, and the moments where intervention could have happened—but didn’t. This isn’t about making excuses. It’s about accountability. Because ignoring patterns has a cost, and in this case, the cost was catastrophic.  We break down the behavioral profile, public records, and new revelations about Kohberger’s past.  Drop your thoughts in the comments—what red flags did YOU see in hindsight?

Why Has Ellen Greenberg’s Case Been Buried for 14 Years? Corruption or Cover-Up? For 14 years, Ellen Greenberg’s death has sat in legal limbo. After being ruled a suicide despite 20 stab wounds, her case has been passed from agency to agency, each refusing to take responsibility. The District Attorney recused himself, the Attorney General’s office punted it back, and county prosecutors declined to act. The result: no arrests, no suspect, and no justice. In this segment of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis joins the discussion to unravel how the system has failed Ellen Greenberg. Why did the medical examiner reverse an initial homicide ruling after a private meeting with police? Why have officials fought against reopening the case despite mounting evidence? And is this incompetence — or something more deliberate? The Greenberg family has fought tirelessly for answers, but every attempt to force accountability has been stalled or buried. We explore the political dimensions of the case, including questions about then–Attorney General Josh Shapiro, now Governor of Pennsylvania, and whether connections or corruption played a role in shutting down the investigation. This is more than a case about one woman’s death. It’s about what happens when a justice system chooses to protect itself instead of the people it serves.

Ellen Greenberg Case Bombshell: The Door Lock, Missing Guard & No Fingerprints The mystery of Ellen Greenberg’s death doesn’t end with her wounds or her fiancé’s 911 call. When investigators looked at the scene, basic questions about evidence and eyewitnesses were ignored or dismissed. And to this day, those contradictions remain unexplained. In this segment of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, we examine the many red flags in the case. Sam Goldberg claimed he couldn’t enter the apartment because the swing-bar lock was latched from the inside — a fact investigators used to dismiss the idea of an intruder. Yet the photos of the door damage don’t match his story. To make matters worse, the apartment’s security guard later said he never assisted Sam in breaking the door, directly contradicting Sam’s account. And then there’s the evidence that was never collected at all. Police failed to fingerprint either of the two knives found at the scene. They didn’t dust the apartment for prints. A professional cleanup was authorized within hours, wiping away anything else that might have been found. Ellen’s family has spent more than a decade asking for a proper investigation. Instead, they’ve been met with stonewalling and excuses. This conversation unpacks the missing fingerprints, the questionable door lock evidence, and the unexplained engagement ring left on the counter — all details that point to a case that was shut down before it ever had a chance to begin.

FBI Missteps & The Missing Clothes: The Cold Case of Sebastian Rogers True Crimers, welcome back to Break the Case. In this deep-dive, Jennifer Coffindaffer takes us inside the heartbreaking and still-unsolved disappearance of Sebastian Rogers, the 15-year-old from Hendersonville, Tennessee, whose case has gone cold — but not closed. We break down the FBI’s newly released statement, including the errors that immediately raised red flags: wrong dates, wrong age, and shifting details about what Sebastian was last seen wearing. Was it a sweatshirt? A shirt with Star Wars, Minecraft, or Halloween graphics? Sweatpants or Adidas track pants? Even the smallest contradictions matter in a case where the truth has been so elusive. Jennifer also dissects the “bang vs. thud” discrepancy, the dashcam evidence from Katie Proudfoot’s car, the controversy over why 911 wasn’t called, and why phrases like “almost every home searched” simply aren’t good enough. We revisit the flashlight theory, the “green hoodie” person at Texas Roadhouse, and how the FBI clarified — and corrected — some of the case’s most persistent rumors. This isn’t just about a missing teen. It’s about accountability, transparency, and keeping Sebastian’s name alive when the headlines have faded. With insights from former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, we examine whether this investigation has been thorough — or whether critical mistakes may have cost precious time and clarity. Stay with us as we push past the inconsistencies, question the official narrative, and continue demanding answers for Sebastian. Topics Covered: FBI mistakes in public releases Conflicting accounts of Sebastian’s last clothing The “bang” heard the night before he vanished Dashcam footage & neighborhood search limitations Why the “green hoodie” theory collapsed The missing flashlight detail and what it really means Why Sebastian’s case remains cold — not closed Sebastian deserves the truth. And so do we.

Donna Adelson Guilty: Courtroom Shock, Prison Life, and Failing Appeal Hopes On September 4th, the courtroom in Tallahassee fell silent before erupting in gasps: Donna Adelson was found guilty on all counts in the murder of Florida State University professor Dan Markel. This included charges of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation, ending years of speculation about the matriarch’s role in one of Florida’s most notorious murder-for-hire cases. But what truly stunned observers wasn’t just the guilty verdict — it was Donna’s reaction. In this in-depth breakdown, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer revisit that exact moment, analyzing the visible shock and disbelief from a woman who believed she could outmaneuver justice. From there, the conversation dives into the hard reality: Donna Adelson, now 75, faces the rest of her life in prison. What does that look like for someone who has lived a life of privilege and control? We explore the challenges of notoriety behind bars, the risks of inmate targeting, and why age doesn’t shield anyone from prison’s dangers. Listeners will also hear why some experts believe she may face segregation for her own safety. The discussion then pivots to her legal strategy. Could Donna’s defense team mount an appeal? What about claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, given her attorney’s criticized performance and even moments of dozing off during trial? Coffindaffer explains why such arguments rarely succeed, and why this appeal may ultimately go nowhere. This segment captures the collision of arrogance, power, and reality — a woman who once controlled everything now realizing the chessboard is gone. It’s a chilling yet riveting exploration of justice served, the frailty of reputation behind bars, and what happens when the matriarch of a family empire falls from grace.

Ellen Greenberg 911 Call: Fiancé’s Shocking Words Under the Microscope The 911 call made by Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé, Sam Goldberg, remains one of the most scrutinized pieces of evidence in this mysterious case. When he entered their apartment, he claimed to have found Ellen on the kitchen floor, covered in blood. Yet the way he described what he saw — and the words he chose in the moment — raised more questions than answers. In this segment of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, we play and dissect the entire 911 call. Why did Sam hesitate when asked to begin CPR? Why did he initially describe Ellen’s injuries as a fall or a bump on the head, only later “discovering” a knife in her chest? And why did his narrative shift so dramatically within the span of a single phone call? Our panel breaks down every line, comparing the call to real trauma responses witnessed by EMTs. Typically, family members in true emergencies are frantic, incoherent, and desperate to save their loved one. But Sam’s tone seemed controlled, almost rehearsed, with strange detours into alibis rather than panic. This is not about assigning guilt. Sam Goldberg has never been charged in connection with Ellen’s death. But his 911 call has become central to understanding why so many believe Ellen Greenberg’s case is not a suicide at all, but a homicide that was swept under the rug.

​Ellen Greenberg’s “Suicide” or Brutal Murder? The Day Everything Went Wrong On a snowy January afternoon in Philadelphia, 27-year-old teacher Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her apartment with 20 stab wounds — including multiple deep injuries to the back of her neck and head. Authorities ruled it a suicide. But from the very first look, nothing about this case made sense. In this segment of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, we revisit Ellen’s final day. Her fiancé Sam Goldberg says he left for the gym, only to return later and find the swing-bar lock engaged from the inside. When he finally entered, Ellen was on the floor with a knife buried in her chest. The medical examiner initially called it what it clearly looked like: homicide. But within hours, that ruling was flipped to suicide, leaving a family blindsided and a city questioning how such a conclusion could ever hold up. This discussion explores the timeline, the shocking details of Ellen’s wounds, and the implausibility of the suicide theory. How can a woman stab herself 20 times — severing her spinal cord in the process — and still be written off as a suicide? And why did authorities rush to close the case instead of securing it as a crime scene? Join us as we examine the evidence and the contradictions that continue to haunt the Greenberg family’s fight for justice.

Judge Dwight D. Moore’s “Probation” — Now a Baby Is Dead? | The Emmanuel Haro Case True Crimers—this one is hard. Tonight we break down the rapid-fire timeline in the Emmanuel Haro case and ask the question no one wants to confront: how did a man with a documented history of horrific child abuse end up with probation—and how did we get from there to a deceased infant and murder charges for both parents? Host Jake walks through the week-by-week chronology: the Aug. 14 “parking-lot attack” and fake abduction story; early inconsistencies flagged by investigators; search warrants at the Haro home; Aug. 22 arrests; the big press conference and a contested narrative about a supposed jailhouse admission; and the Sept. 4 arraignment with not-guilty pleas and a Sept. 17 preliminary hearing on the calendar. We unpack the jurisdiction tangle (San Bernardino vs. Riverside), why venue matters, and how prosecutors can still hold a defendant on a probation violation while they build the homicide case. We also put a spotlight on the 2018 infant-abuse case that ended in a 2023 probation outcome under visiting Judge Dwight D. Moore—after a plea to child cruelty and a suspended prison term. What does “suspended” actually mean? Why do some judges accept these pleas? And how does a later violation revive that time, stackable with any new sentence? Legal analysis dives into the debated “Perkins operation”—the undercover-cellmate tactic that’s legal under Illinois v. Perkins—and what counts as a “confession” vs. a statement. We explore the charging posture against Rebecca Haro (murder vs. potential accessory after the fact), how digital evidence, forensic interviews with other children, and blood evidence could reshape the case, and why the death penalty is off the table in practice in California (gubernatorial moratorium), even if it exists in statute. Bottom line: Justice is slow, but it moves. This episode is fact-driven, emotionally grounded, and focused on accountability without graphic language.
