Why No Charges? Attorney Explains the Anna Kepner Cruise Ship Investigation

Why No Charges? Attorney Explains the Anna Kepner Cruise Ship Investigation

Eighteen-year-old Anna Kepner died aboard a cruise ship. Her sixteen-year-old stepbrother has been identified as the suspect — not by police, not by the FBI, but through explosive court filings in a custody battle. The family acknowledges it. Witnesses describe aggression, chokeholds, and a dynamic the adults claim they never saw. And still: no charges.

So what does this silence actually signal?

Former prosecutor Eric Faddis explains why federal investigations move slowly, why cruise-ship deaths fall under complex jurisdictional rules, and what benchmarks investigators need before they pursue homicide charges involving a minor. We examine the digital trail (key-card logs, surveillance, onboard data), the fracture within the family, and how contradicting statements influence a prosecutor’s strategy.

Eric also walks through what a defense attorney would be doing right now behind the scenes — protecting a juvenile client, anticipating transfer hearings, and preparing for the moment charges finally drop.

We discuss why custody documents are revealing more than the FBI, why investigators might be intentionally delaying charges, and what it means when a case hinges on both forensic evidence and family testimony.

This case is quiet — too quiet — and Eric breaks down exactly what silence means in federal law.

What If Scott Peterson Didn’t Do It? The LA Innocence Project’s Bombshell Report

What If Scott Peterson Didn’t Do It? The LA Innocence Project’s Bombshell Report

For more than twenty years, the name Scott Peterson has been synonymous with guilt. A husband who smiled on camera, a pregnant wife who vanished on Christmas Eve, and a nation that decided — almost instantly — that he was the killer. But now, the Los Angeles Innocence Project has filed a 2,600-page petition that could force the courts — and the public — to look again. Their filing doesn’t claim Scott Peterson is innocent. It asks a harder question: What if the story we all accepted isn’t the whole truth? Inside the petition are four explosive claims: 🔸 The Orange Van Theory — New evidence suggests a burglary across the street from the Petersons’ home happened on December 24, 2002, not two days later. Witnesses say a pregnant woman matching Laci’s description was seen confronting men near an orange van that morning. 🔸 The Burned Mattress — That same van was later found on fire, less than a mile away. Inside, investigators found a mattress soaked in blood. Testing confirmed it was human, but the case file shows it was never fully DNA-typed. 🔸 The Science That Doesn’t Add Up — New hydrodynamic analysis argues the bodies could not have drifted from Scott’s fishing location to where they were found. The tides, currents, and physics simply don’t match the prosecution’s 2004 theory. 🔸 The 126-Page Declaration — Scott Peterson himself has finally spoken, dismantling the case point-by-point. He maintains, “There was no direct or forensic evidence ever linking me to the crime.” Could this be the first real crack in one of America’s most famous murder convictions — or just the latest illusion from a man who’s been lying since day one? In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we take the objective view almost no one dares to ask: What if Scott Peterson didn’t do it? #ScottPeterson #LaciPeterson #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #LosAngelesInnocenceProject #TrueCrime #WrongfulConviction #DNAEvidence #OrangeVan #JusticeForLaci Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Diddy Woke Up With a Knife to His Throat — Excuse Me While I Don’t Care

Diddy Woke Up With a Knife to His Throat — Excuse Me While I Don’t Care

Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly woke up in his Brooklyn prison cell with a knife pressed against his throat. According to a close friend, it was a warning — a scare that could’ve ended with blood on the floor. But here’s the question that needs to be asked: why is this the story everyone’s talking about? Because if even half of what’s been alleged about Diddy is true, then the real horror didn’t start behind bars. It started long before — behind locked hotel doors, studio walls, and a decade of silence. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down why sympathy for Diddy’s so-called “brush with danger” feels misplaced. The federal indictment, the civil lawsuits, the survivors — their stories paint a picture of inhuman treatment that makes one prison scare seem like poetic irony. Cassie Ventura’s decade of abuse allegations. The infamous 2016 hotel video. Claims of “freak-off” sex parties, drugging, beating, coercion, and threats. Lawsuits describing a pattern of violence, humiliation, and control that allegedly spanned decades. The minors. The staffers who say they were forced to procure drugs or keep secrets. The federal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. The witnesses. The verdicts. This isn’t about celebrity gossip. It’s about power — the kind that corrodes every soul it touches.  And it’s about what happens when the man who allegedly used fear as a weapon finally feels it himself. If you came here looking for a redemption story, you won’t find one.  Because waking up to a knife at your throat isn’t the same as living years with one metaphorically pressed against your soul. This is Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski — where we stop pretending that predators deserve sympathy, and start remembering the victims who were never headline news. #Diddy #SeanCombs #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrime #CassieVentura #DiddyTrial #DiddyPrison #CelebrityCrime #Justice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The FBI, Epstein, and the Psychology of Silence, The Virginia Giuffre Story

The FBI, Epstein, and the Psychology of Silence, The Virginia Giuffre Story

Power protects itself. That’s the unspoken rule inside elite institutions — and it’s what former FBI agent Robin Dreeke and Tony Brueski expose in this gripping episode of Hidden Killers. From Jeffrey Epstein’s library of blackmail tapes to the Department of Justice’s locked files, the evidence is there — and yet, nothing happens. Why? Because predators protect predators. In this extended, unsparing interview, Robin and Tony go beyond the headlines to uncover the psychology of protection: how abusers recruit other enablers, how fear and leverage turn good people into silent accomplices, and how institutions like the FBI evolve into self-preserving organisms that prize reputation over truth. They unpack the idea of “institutional psychopathy,” explain how collective narcissism fuels corruption, and ask the hardest question of all — what happens when the watchdog starts loving the wolf? If you’ve ever wondered why the powerful never fall, this episode will leave you furious, informed, and unwilling to look away. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #RobinDreeke #Epstein #FBI #Power #Predators #Corruption #Accountability #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Virginia Giuffre’s New Book & The Quiet Panic of the Powerful

Virginia Giuffre’s New Book & The Quiet Panic of the Powerful

They know what’s coming. Behind the headlines, behind the PR statements, behind the endless “no comment” emails — there’s a quiet panic spreading among the world’s most powerful. The people who once brushed off questions about Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Virginia Giuffre are suddenly lawyering up, rewriting their histories, and scrubbing the internet clean. In this special Hidden Killers episode, Tony Brueski exposes the psychology and strategy of the cover-up: how predators protect predators. From offshore accounts to sealed FBI files, from choreographed philanthropy to full-scale reputation-laundering, this isn’t justice delayed — it’s justice redesigned. Tony breaks down the behavior of those preparing for exposure: the lawyers, the fixers, the bureaucrats hiding behind “ongoing investigations.” He explores how leverage, blackmail, and shared guilt create alliances among abusers — and why the system that should be exposing them is instead protecting them. This isn’t about conspiracy. It’s about power — and the moral infection that spreads when institutions decide reputation matters more than truth. When the files finally drop — when the names become public — the question won’t be who did it.  It’ll be: who kept it quiet this long? #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #Epstein #VirginiaGiuffre #Power #Corruption #FBI #Predators #TrueCrime #Accountability Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
