"They Tried Everything" — Psychotherapist Reveals Why 17 Rehab Stays Couldn't Save the Reiners

"They Tried Everything" — Psychotherapist Reveals Why 17 Rehab Stays Couldn't Save the Reiners

Rob and Michele Reiner spent eighteen years trying to save their son. Seventeen rehab facilities. A feature film about his addiction. A guest house on their property so they could watch over him. And still, on December 15th, 2025, they were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home. Nick Reiner, 32, has been charged with their murders.

This isn't a case about parents who didn't see it coming. It's about parents who saw it coming for nearly two decades and couldn't stop it.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott has spent thirty years working with families in crisis, perpetrators of violence, and people trapped in cycles of addiction and mental illness. She's the author of "Nightbird" and "The Minds of Mass Killers," and in this interview, she breaks down what was likely happening inside the Reiner family long before that final night.

We discuss why Nick's own words — that his drug use was never about the drugs, but about "killing the noise" — reveal something critical about what treatment was missing. We examine what happens to parents psychologically when they've exhausted every resource and still live in proximity to a volatile adult child. We look at why wealth and access to the best facilities offered essentially no protection. And we explore the warning signs that families often see but can't bring themselves to act on — because acting means treating your own child as a threat.

If you've ever wondered how a family can do everything right and still end up here, this conversation offers uncomfortable answers. The Reiners aren't a cautionary tale about neglect. They're a cautionary tale about the limits of love when you're up against something love can't fix.

Evil Orphan Murder Trial Of Dima Tower | Day 1 Part 1

This episode features unedited courtroom audio from the Dima Tower double-murder trial in North Port, Florida — the case that’s come to be known as “The Evil Orphan.” Prosecutors say 21-year-old Dima Tower, adopted from Ukraine at age 14 by Jennifer and Robbie Tower, brutally murdered his adoptive parents inside their home before fleeing and leading police on a high-speed chase.

In this ongoing Hidden Killers courtroom-coverage series, we present the raw sounds of justice — no commentary, no edits — just the voices of attorneys, witnesses, and the judge as the case unfolds in real time. Each installment captures a different moment of the proceedings: opening statements, witness testimony, cross-examinations, and rulings that will decide whether Tower spends the rest of his life behind bars.

False Imprisonment and a Missing Child: The Disturbing Case of Ashley and Melody Buzzard

False Imprisonment and a Missing Child: The Disturbing Case of Ashley and Melody Buzzard

A haunting mystery unfolds in the disappearance of 9-year-old Melody Buzzard, a case that has gripped the true crime community and left investigators racing to uncover the truth. When Melody’s school first raised alarms after she stopped showing up in August, few could imagine the dark spiral that would follow. Her mother, Ashley Buzzard, already struggling with mental health issues after losing her husband in a motorcycle accident, became increasingly isolated and erratic — cutting Melody off from friends, family, and the outside world. According to new reports from NewsNation, Ashley took Melody on a bizarre 3,000-mile cross-country trip to Nebraska and back. But only Ashley returned. Questions immediately mounted: What happened on that road trip? Where is Melody now? The timeline defies logic — three days, thousands of miles, no rest — and the growing concern over Ashley’s mental state made the story even more alarming. Family members described her home as being in squalor, with no food and signs of serious neglect. Then came the breaking development: Ashley Buzzard was arrested, not initially for Melody’s disappearance, but for false imprisonment after allegedly trapping a longtime friend, Tyler Brewer, inside her home. Brewer claimed Ashley became violent and incoherent — and even made shocking statements about what happened to Melody. Although police have not confirmed the contents of that conversation, investigators believe it may hold crucial clues. Now, a private investigator named Bill Garcia has joined the case, working pro bono for Melody’s paternal family. As law enforcement and federal agencies dig deeper, this haunting case echoes the urgency and heartbreak of the Gabby Petito investigation. Every new clue, every timeline discrepancy, brings us closer to understanding what really happened to Melody Buzzard — and whether there’s still hope for a miracle ending. #MelodyBuzzard #AshleyBuzzard #MissingChild #TrueCrimeNews #BreakingNews #Investigation #JusticeForMelody #NewsNation #MissingPersons #TrueCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

“Massage for Prince Andrew”: House Panel Exposes Shocking New Epstein Ledger Entries

“Massage for Prince Andrew”: House Panel Exposes Shocking New Epstein Ledger Entries

Prince Andrew’s past just caught up with him — again. The U.S. House Oversight Committee has officially requested that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, sit for a transcribed interview under oath about his involvement with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. This unprecedented move marks the first time a U.S. congressional body has formally sought testimony from a member of the British royal family in connection with Epstein’s network. In this powerful episode, Tony Brueski breaks down the explosive details of the congressional letter, signed by sixteen House Democrats, which cites flight logs, financial ledgers labeled “massage for Andrew,” and emails showing a disturbingly close relationship between Andrew and Epstein long after Epstein’s conviction. The committee’s request goes far beyond curiosity — they’re following the money, the documents, and the survivors’ testimony to uncover just how deep Andrew’s involvement really went. Congressman Suhas Subramanyam says multiple survivors have come forward alleging that Virginia Giuffre was not the only woman trafficked to Andrew — and that new leads could expose a broader pattern of abuse and complicity. With Epstein’s estate handing over more than 17,000 documents and financial records, investigators now believe they may be closing in on the truth. As the walls close in, Andrew’s refusal to cooperate could have devastating consequences — not just legally, but for the already fragile reputation of the monarchy. From the 2011 email where Andrew wrote to Epstein “We’re in this together,” to the alleged effort to smear Giuffre through his royal protection officer, this episode pulls no punches in exposing the arrogance, privilege, and denial that kept Epstein’s network alive. Subscribe and listen as Tony Brueski unpacks the congressional strategy, the survivor testimony, and what may finally be Prince Andrew’s reckoning. #PrinceAndrew #JeffreyEpstein #EpsteinFiles #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #RoyalScandal #Congress #SexTrafficking #HouseOversight #VirginiaGiuffre Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Too “Traumatized” to Stand Trial? The Truth About Brian Walshe’s Competency Hearing

Too “Traumatized” to Stand Trial? The Truth About Brian Walshe’s Competency Hearing

As Brian Walshe’s competency hearing looms, a new question is taking over the courtroom: is he really unable to stand trial—or is this just another con from a man who’s been manipulating people his entire life? In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we revisit the evidence that started it all. The disturbing Google searches like “10 ways to dispose of a body,” “Hacksaw best tool to dismember,” and “Can you be charged with murder without a body.” The Home Depot trip caught on camera. The blood in the basement, the broken knife, the trash bags full of evidence—all of it pointing to a carefully constructed cover-up following the disappearance of Ana Walshe on New Year’s Day, 2023. We also dig into Walshe’s long history of fraud, deceit, and manipulation—from the Andy Warhol art scam to the conflicting stories he spun after Ana vanished. And now, after a jailhouse stabbing that left him claiming trauma and confusion, the defense says he’s too impaired to participate in his trial. But is this genuine mental decline—or yet another strategy to delay the inevitable? Tony breaks down the psychology of control, the legal threshold for competency, and the patterns that define serial manipulators like Walshe. This case isn’t about memory loss or confusion—it’s about whether the justice system can recognize when it’s being played. ⚖️ Walshe remains presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
