Why Did D4vd Transfer His Homes Right Before the Investigation Exploded?
When pop artist D4vd transferred two Houston homes to his mother’s name in September 2025, just days after police searched his L.A. rental and as the Celeste Rivas Hernandez death investigation deepened, the internet exploded with theories. Some called it a cover-up. Others called it smart legal protection. So which is it? In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we break down exactly what happened with those deed transfers, why the timing matters, and what it could mean from a legal and financial perspective. This is not a “guilty or innocent” story — it’s a story about how high-profile figures protect their assets when crisis hits, and how the public often misreads what’s actually a routine (if strategically timed) legal move. Tony explains the concept of asset protection — the legal strategy celebrities and business owners use to move property or restructure trusts to shield family wealth from lawsuits or liability. We’ll also look at past examples: from R. Kelly’s property transfers to Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi’s legal fallout, and even Alec Baldwin’s estate planning after the Rust tragedy. The point isn’t that D4vd is hiding something — it’s that when you’re standing in the middle of a storm, timing your moves can mean the difference between losing everything or surviving intact. The LAPD has not charged anyone, and the coroner still lists Celeste’s cause of death as undetermined. But one thing is clear: legal maneuvering often speaks louder than words. Was this foresight, fear, or just financial defense? Let’s break it down.

Kouri Richins Murder Case Shaken as Star Witness Recants
The prosecution’s narrative in the Kouri Richins murder case is suddenly on shaky ground. A bombshell affidavit just dropped: Robert Crozier—once billed as the key to the state’s fentanyl chain theory—now says he never sold fentanyl to the housekeeper prosecutors claim passed it to Kouri. That breaks the chain. And when you consider that no fentanyl was ever recovered, and no forensic link directly ties Kouri to the drugs… the state’s case starts to look a whole lot less certain. But is it fatal? Joining us is former prosecutor and seasoned defense attorney Eric Faddis to break it all down. We dive deep into the implications of this recantation, how it affects the admissibility of testimony from Lauber (the housekeeper), and whether the state can pivot its sourcing theory midstream without torpedoing its credibility. We also look at the 5x lethal dose tox report, the Valentine’s Day sandwich allegation, the “Walk the Dog” jailhouse letter, suppression motions over seized notebooks and phones, and 11 terabytes of dumped discovery that may constitute its own Brady violation. This is no longer just about who gave who a pill. It’s about whether the legal system is equipped to handle contradictions, missing evidence, and high public scrutiny without crumbling under the weight of its own complexity. Don’t miss this legal autopsy of a case that could still go either way. 🔎 Keywords: Kouri Richins update, witness recants, fentanyl murder case, Robert Crozier affidavit, Utah murder trial, Eric Faddis legal analysis, true crime podcast, forensic gaps, digital evidence challenges, suppression motions #KouriRichins #EricFaddis #FentanylMurder #TrueCrimePodcast #BradyViolation #MurderTrialUpdate #HiddenKillers #LegalBreakdown #CriminalDefense #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When True Crime Gets It Right: Patrick McManus & Michael Chernus On Telling The Gacy Story
Imagine being told you resemble one of America’s most infamous serial killers—and then being asked to play him. That’s the exact crossroads actor Michael Chernus found himself at when he was cast in Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy, Peacock’s powerful reimagining of a case we thought we knew. In this episode, Chernus opens up about the weight of portraying Gacy—not the tabloid version, but the eerily “normal” man who blended into his suburban community while carrying out unimaginable crimes. He listened to Gacy’s real voice on tapes passed down from attorney Bob Motta Sr., relayed through Bob Motta Jr., our guest and legal expert on the case. We talk about the toll this kind of character work takes, how the series avoids gratuitous violence, and why refusing to show murder on screen actually makes the series more disturbing—and more respectful. If you think you’ve seen every Gacy documentary, think again. This is the one that focuses not on the myth, but on the victims, the failures, and the masks we all miss. #MichaelChernus #JohnWayneGacy #GacyTapes #DevilInDisguise #PeacockSeries #DefenseDiaries #TrueCrimeActing #PortrayingEvil #VictimFocusedTrueCrime #HiddenKillersPodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Attorney Eric Faddis Unpacks the Legal Minefield of the Tyler Robinson Case
The state says it was political targeting. The defense says it’s not that simple. And now the clock is ticking on a death penalty case that could define how ideology, violence, and due process collide in America’s justice system. In this explosive breakdown, former prosecutor and current defense attorney Eric Faddis joins us to dissect the complex legal machinery behind the state of Utah’s capital case against Tyler James Robinson—the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk from a rooftop in a highly calculated public ambush. We’re digging into the forensic trail, jury strategy, premeditation thresholds, and that rare political-targeting enhancement the state added to elevate sentencing. Eric walks us through every layer—from the suppression motions expected to challenge key evidence, to the strategic gamble of not waiving the preliminary hearing, to the sheer legal weight that drops when prosecutors announce they’re going for death. We also explore whether this case could flip federal, how mental health could become a tool in mitigation even without an insanity plea, and what kind of jury selection nightmare awaits in a politically charged case of this magnitude. This is high-stakes legal war. If you want to understand how the justice system actually works when everything’s on the line—this one’s a must-watch. #TylerRobinson #CharlieKirk #DeathPenalty #TrueCrimeAnalysis #HiddenKillers #LegalBreakdown #EricFaddis #PoliticalViolence #CriminalDefense #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
