Donna Adelson: The Evidence Avalanche & The Vietnam Escape Plot | 2025 Year in Review

Donna Adelson: The Evidence Avalanche & The Vietnam Escape Plot | 2025 Year in Review

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we’re revisiting the case that dominated headlines, divided families, and exposed the darkest corners of privilege and power — the unraveling of Donna Adelson.

Just weeks before jury selection was set to begin, Donna’s long-awaited murder trial imploded into chaos. Prosecutors dropped a stunning bombshell: a massive cache of new evidence — more than 80,000 emails, months of wiretap recordings, and what insiders say could include jailhouse informant testimony. Suddenly, Judge Stephen Everett had no choice but to halt the trial, citing an avalanche of discovery that left even seasoned defense attorneys blindsided.

In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down the extraordinary chain of events that forced the June 3rd trial date off the calendar — and what the 16 sealed court filings in a single month might really mean. From a mysterious late-2024 tip that reignited the investigation, to whispers of newly uncovered recordings featuring Donna’s own words, this is the inside story of how a decade-old murder-for-hire case keeps expanding instead of ending.

Then, we zoom out to the broader conspiracy — a tangled web of lies, cash, and cover-ups connecting the Adelson family to the 2014 murder of Dan Markel, a Florida State law professor gunned down in his driveway. We revisit the evidence that prosecutors say ties Donna directly to the plot:
Luis Rivera’s claim that “the lady” ordered the hit.

  • Katherine Magbanua’s testimony about a moldy envelope of cash delivered to Charlie Adelson.

  • Donna’s own jailhouse calls discussing “plans” and “escape routes.”

  • And, of course, the one-way plane ticket to Vietnam — a country with no U.S. extradition treaty — purchased days after Charlie’s conviction.

    It’s not just a case anymore. It’s a reckoning — the culmination of years of investigation, privilege, and denial collapsing in real time.

Mental Health Misused, Evidence Destroyed, Questions Ignored | Ellen Greenberg Deep Dive

Mental Health Misused, Evidence Destroyed, Questions Ignored | Ellen Greenberg Deep Dive

Mental Health Misused, Evidence Destroyed, Questions Ignored | Ellen Greenberg Deep Dive Ellen Greenberg was found with 20 stab wounds — including 10 in the back of her neck. And yet, her death was ruled a suicide. How? And more importantly — why? In this deeply psychological and emotionally charged episode of Hidden Killers Live, host Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to unpack not just the facts of the case, but the emotional truth that’s been obscured for over a decade. We start with Ellen’s mental state — not just in the days before her death, but over the months of quiet withdrawal that went ignored or misinterpreted. She stopped wearing her engagement ring. She told her parents she wanted to come home. And yet, no one — not friends, not authorities — ever seemed to ask what she might have been retreating from. Then we turn to the psychiatric timeline. Ellen had three sessions with a psychiatrist. No history of suicide attempts. No diagnosed depression. No recorded ideation. And yet that paper-thin narrative — “she was anxious” — became the foundation for an official suicide ruling. We also confront what happened after her death — the reversal from homicide to suicide, the cleaned crime scene, the missing chain of custody, and the devices removed by her fiancé’s uncle before detectives could investigate. Her fiancé, Sam Goldberg, never pushed back on the suicide narrative. In fact, he reportedly said, “Do you think I killed her?” This case isn’t just forensic failure. It’s emotional sabotage, institutional betrayal, and a test of whether truth still matters when it's inconvenient. This episode doesn’t just question the ruling — it questions the people who accepted it. Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé at the time of her death, has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case. He has consistently maintained that Ellen’s death was a suicide. All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise. 🧵 Hashtags #EllenGreenberg #HiddenKillersLive #ShavaunScott #MentalHealth #CrimeSceneFailure #JusticeForEllen #SuicideOrHomicide #DeathInApartment603 #TrueCrimePsychology #InstitutionalBetrayal Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

D4VD DRAMA, Timeline DESTROYED As Video Shows Celeste Alive AT HOME, While “Missing”?! -WEEK IN REVIEW

D4VD DRAMA, Timeline DESTROYED As Video Shows Celeste Alive AT HOME, While “Missing”?! -WEEK IN REVIEW

D4VD DRAMA, Timeline DESTROYED As Video Shows Celeste Alive AT HOME, While “Missing”?!  Celeste Rivas Hernandez was just 13 when she was reported missing in April 2024. For months, her photo circulated online. Her family searched. The public assumed the worst. But then came a video—captured on a neighbor’s security camera months later—showing Celeste alive, present, and vocal just outside her home. The date? September 8, 2024—exactly one day after her 14th birthday. And then, exactly one year later to the day, Celeste’s decomposed body was found in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to rising music artist David Burke, known as d4vd. The car had been towed from the Hollywood Hills and sat unnoticed at a local tow yard until the smell prompted a search warrant. What began as a missing persons case is now a timeline mystery — and possibly something much darker. In this special episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down the Two-Timelines Problem in gripping detail. We walk through the official report dates, parking records, forensic delays, and the chain-of-custody questions now at the heart of a national media firestorm. What does it mean when a girl is declared missing — while cameras show her home? What do we make of a timeline that snaps cleanly in two? And why is there still no official cause of death over a month after her body was found? This case isn’t just about headlines. It’s about a child who may have slipped through the cracks of every system built to protect her. We’re following every verified lead, every timestamp, and every unanswered question — until we know what really happened to Celeste. 🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell to stay updated as this investigation unfolds. 🔖 HASHTAGS  #CelesteRivasHernandez #d4vd #DavidBurke #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #ForensicTimeline #MissingPersons #LAPD #TeslaCase #JusticeForCeleste Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

20 Stab Wounds, a Cleaned Crime Scene, and No Charges: What Really Happened to Ellen Greenberg?-WEEK IN REVIEW

20 Stab Wounds, a Cleaned Crime Scene, and No Charges: What Really Happened to Ellen Greenberg?-WEEK IN REVIEW

20 Stab Wounds, a Cleaned Crime Scene, and No Charges: What Really Happened to Ellen Greenberg? She was 27. A teacher. Engaged. Found with 20 stab wounds — 10 to the back of her neck — and a knife lodged in her chest. This is the case of Ellen Greenberg, and what’s coming to light now in the Hulu docuseries Death in Apartment 603 is nothing short of staggering. In this segment of Hidden Killers Live, we take you through the most disturbing parts of this case: the 911 call that framed Ellen’s death as a suicide before CPR even began, the crime scene that was cleaned before detectives could investigate, the devices removed from the apartment by her fiancé’s uncle, and the original homicide ruling that quietly got reversed with no new evidence. You’ll hear how Sam Goldberg, her fiancé, was seen pacing the hallway, agitated and shouting. How the scene was described as “serene” by the property manager — like someone had cleaned up before investigators ever got there. And how professional hazmat crews ran the dishwasher and wiped everything down before detectives returned to what was, at one point, being treated as a suspicious death. We also dig into Sam’s strange postmortem behavior. The texts. The conversations. The chilling lack of questions. And the now-infamous moment where he reportedly asked, “Do you think I killed her?” This isn’t just a bad investigation. This is what it looks like when a system decides to stop asking questions — even when the answers are bleeding from every angle of the scene. Was it a cover-up? Or the most catastrophic series of investigative failures we’ve seen in recent memory? Watch the segment. Hear the audio. Follow the timeline.  And then ask yourself — if this isn’t murder, what is? Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé at the time of her death, has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case. He has consistently maintained that Ellen’s death was a suicide. All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise. 🧵 Hashtags #EllenGreenberg #DeathInApartment603 #CrimeSceneCoverup #TrueCrime #HiddenKillersLive #JusticeForEllen #911Call #SamGoldberg #ForensicFailure #ColdCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna & Charlie Adelson Behind Bars: Tantrums, Tablets, and Toe Trauma-WEEK IN REVIEW

Donna & Charlie Adelson Behind Bars: Tantrums, Tablets, and Toe Trauma-WEEK IN REVIEW

Donna & Charlie Adelson Behind Bars: Tantrums, Tablets, and Toe Trauma-WEEK IN REVIEW Dan Markel was murdered in 2014 in one of the most shocking custody-related hit jobs in American legal history. Now that two of the key players—Donna and Charlie Adelson—are behind bars, how are they handling it? Spoiler: Not well. In this voice-driven episode of Hidden Killers, we pull the curtain back on life behind bars for the once-powerful Adelsons. Donna’s jailhouse meltdown just nine days after her conviction is fully documented in prison logs—loud sobbing, door-pounding, and furious rants about judges and jurors, all while she unknowingly feeds jailhouse informants. Meanwhile, Charlie Adelson, convicted of murder, has his own jailhouse drama. Caught on video by Spill the Crime Tea, Charlie explodes over his big toe being run over by a jail door. He spews racial slurs, berates staff, then folds like a lawn chair when a lieutenant arrives. This isn’t a story of redemption. It’s the unraveling of a family that thought the rules didn’t apply to them. We dig into: – The official jail logs documenting Donna’s outbursts – Charlie’s unhinged toe tirade caught on camera – What these behaviors tell us about entitlement, narcissism, and collapse – How the Adelsons are adjusting—or failing to—in the harsh reality of incarceration Welcome to the downfall. No more dental dynasty. Just inmate numbers, cold walls, and tablets that barely charge. Watch now and decide for yourself: are the Adelsons victims of injustice, or just finally out of excuses? 🔍 Keywords Donna Adelson, Charlie Adelson, Adelson family, Dan Markel murder, prison logs, jailhouse meltdown, true crime podcast, Hidden Killers, Surviving the Survivor, Wendy Adelson, Leon County Jail, jailhouse footage, Florida true crime, criminal psychology, post-conviction behavior, narcissistic breakdown Hashtags #DonnaAdelson #CharlieAdelson #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #PrisonLife #JailhouseMeltdown #AdelsonFamily #JusticeServed #SurvivingTheSurvivor Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
