Yogurt Shop Murders: DNA Bombshell & TV Confession in Kraus Backyard Murder

Yogurt Shop Murders: DNA Bombshell & TV Confession in Kraus Backyard Murder

Yogurt Shop Murders: DNA Bombshell & TV Confession in Kraus Backyard Murder

Two devastating crimes. One episode. And a justice system that failed in both.
Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, we dive into two of the most emotionally and legally disturbing cases we’ve ever covered. First—the Yogurt Shop Murders. Four girls brutally killed in 1991. And for years, police pursued the wrong men. Two were convicted. One died under the shadow of suspicion. All were innocent. Now, thanks to genetic genealogy and forensic DNA, the real killer—Robert Eugene Brashers—has been identified. But there’s no trial coming. Brashers died by suicide in 1999. So what happens when the truth arrives three decades late?

We unpack:


  • How fire-damaged evidence was finally reanalyzed


  • Why police ignored signs pointing away from Springsteen, Scott, and Pierce


  • The role of coerced confessions, tunnel vision, and flawed interrogation strategy


  • What this case teaches us about criminal psychology and investigative failure



Then, we pivot to an equally bizarre and tragic case: Lorenz Kraus, who walked into a CBS6 newsroom and calmly confessed on camera to killing both his parents and burying them in the backyard… seven years ago. In Hour 2, we break down the video, explore the potential god complex behind his confession, and ask what happens when someone bypasses the justice system entirely—and tells their story to the press instead.

This isn’t just a double feature. It’s a breakdown of how cases go wrong, how lives are ruined by bad policing, and how—sometimes—truth shows up late, if at all.

Subscribe and watch to the end. Because justice delayed is one thing. But justice denied is something else entirely.

From Caviar to Commissary: Donna Adelson’s Brutal New Life in Prison

From Caviar to Commissary: Donna Adelson’s Brutal New Life in Prison

From Caviar to Commissary: Donna Adelson’s Brutal New Life in Prison She once ruled a Miami dental empire—now she’s learning to trade ramen for favors and sleep through screams in 100-degree heat.  At 75 years old, Donna Adelson has been convicted of first-degree murder and is staring down the rest of her life in a Florida prison system known for its brutality, its heat, and its utter indifference to wealth, age, or legacy. In this Hidden Killers breakdown, we examine Donna’s likely trajectory from county jail to Florida Women’s Reception Center… and ultimately to Lowell Correctional Institution, one of the most notorious women’s prisons in America. What awaits her? Endless noise, public showers, no privacy, and a new power structure where money means nothing—and respect has to be earned in ramen packets. We pull apart what life really looks like for women inside Lowell, especially aging inmates: the sweat-drenched dorms, the hidden hustle economy, the kosher-tray bartering system, and the constant emotional pressure of knowing you’re never getting out. Featuring real accounts, DOJ reports, and behind-the-scenes insights, we ask: Can Donna survive this world—or will she become someone entirely different trying to adapt? 🏷️ Hashtags #DonnaAdelson #LifeInPrison #LowellCorrectional #HiddenKillers #NoParole #PrisonReality #TrueCrime #PrisonBreakdown #WomenInPrison #FloridaDOC Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

NEW WITNESS SPEAKS: 'I Was Groped by Judge Mullins — Then He Had Me Charged'

NEW WITNESS SPEAKS: 'I Was Groped by Judge Mullins — Then He Had Me Charged'

NEW WITNESS SPEAKS: 'I Was Groped by Judge Mullins — Then He Had Me Charged' 🚨 New and disturbing allegations have surfaced in the case of Judge Kevin Mullins — the Kentucky judge shot and killed in his courthouse chambers by Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines. One year later, the investigation is no longer just about the murder. It’s about why it happened — and what may have been buried inside that courthouse for years. In this episode, we uncover explosive new witness interviews. Women are coming forward on camera and on record, describing what they say was a pattern of sexual coercion, retaliation, and courtroom exploitation tied directly to Judge Mullins — and enabled by a system that silenced them at every turn. One woman says Mullins groped her repeatedly while she worked in his office. When she refused his advances, she says he orchestrated criminal charges against her — and told her to turn herself in. Another witness, already part of a federal civil rights lawsuit, claims she had sex with Mullins in his chambers “more times than I can count” — because she believed it was the only way to stay out of jail and keep her children. That same civil suit, Adkins v. Fields, has already resulted in criminal convictions for another courthouse official — and Mullins’ name is central in the complaint. All of this came to a head just three days before the shooting, when Sheriff Stines was deposed under oath in the lawsuit. Witnesses say he spiraled in the days after — and then walked into Mullins’ chambers with a gun. Today, we lay out everything — the surveillance footage, the timeline, the federal lawsuit, the voices of women now refusing to stay silent — and ask: Was this murder the breaking point of a system already cracked by abuse of power? 🔖 Hashtags  #JudgeMullins #SheriffStines #KentuckyCourthouseShooting #HiddenKillers #SexualCoercion #AbuseOfPower #TrueCrimeInvestigation #RobinDreeke #CourthouseCoverup #AdkinsVFields Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Is Diddy’s Jail Letter & “Free Game” Class a Redemption Arc or Reputation Rehab?

Is Diddy’s Jail Letter & “Free Game” Class a Redemption Arc or Reputation Rehab?

Is Diddy’s Jail Letter & “Free Game” Class a Redemption Arc or Reputation Rehab? Sean “Diddy” Combs says he’s changed. He says he’s found God, humility, and sobriety behind bars. But in this episode of Hidden Killers Live, we ask the real question: Is this redemption—or a rebrand? We’re joined by former FBI Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke to examine Diddy’s 9-page letter to Judge Subramanian. It’s emotional. It’s detailed. But is it strategic? Then we dive into Diddy’s new jailhouse initiative: Free Game with Diddy—a six-week mindset class he claims has unified gang members, taught business skills, and given him purpose. Admirable? Maybe. Or maybe it’s the kind of carefully constructed narrative high-control personalities use when the cameras turn against them. Robin takes us inside the tactics:  ▶️ Language cues that reveal intent  ▶️ Power dynamics in confined systems  ▶️ How manipulation thrives behind bars We’re not here to cancel—we’re here to question. Because when someone who built an empire on control and image starts teaching redemption inside jail, we need to ask: Who’s the lesson really for? 🔖 Hashtags #Diddy #FreeGameWithDiddy #JudgeLetter #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimePodcast #RedemptionOrRebrand #HiddenKillersLive #FBIAnalysis #CelebrityManipulation #PrisonPsychology Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

FBI Profiler Breaks Down Diddy’s Letter & Jailhouse Class Strategy

FBI Profiler Breaks Down Diddy’s Letter & Jailhouse Class Strategy

FBI Profiler Breaks Down Diddy’s Letter & Jailhouse Class Strategy What does a plea for mercy sound like when it's written by one of the most powerful figures in entertainment—and what does it reveal beneath the surface? In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, we’re joined by retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to break down the full letter Sean “Diddy” Combs sent to the judge ahead of sentencing. It’s a letter full of remorse, spiritual language, and a plea for second chances—but is it sincere, or is it tactically engineered for a court that’s seen it all? Dreeke analyzes the behavioral language line by line—what’s genuine, what raises red flags, and how high-profile offenders often craft letters as part of reputation management strategies, not just repentance. Then we turn to "Free Game with Diddy", the jailhouse course Combs says he developed for inmates. Is it a story of redemption and leadership? Or another layer of narrative control from a man who built an empire on charisma and influence? From emotional manipulation to calculated timing, Robin Dreeke breaks down the psychological blueprint of power, guilt, and self-preservation behind bars. Watch, listen, and decide for yourself: Is Diddy evolving—or performing? 🔖 Hashtags #DiddyLetter #RobinDreeke #FBIProfiler #DiddyApology #FreeGameWithDiddy #TrueCrime #HiddenKillersLive #CelebrityJustice #BehavioralAnalysis #DiddySentencing Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ignored Warnings: The Stalking of Maria Niotis Before the Cranford Hit-and-Run

Ignored Warnings: The Stalking of Maria Niotis Before the Cranford Hit-and-Run

Ignored Warnings: The Stalking of Maria Niotis Before the Cranford Hit-and-Run Two 17-year-old girls, Maria Niotis and Isabella Salas, were killed in a hit-and-run while riding an e-bike in Cranford, New Jersey. Now, a 17-year-old boy from Garwood has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder. But the real story may have started long before the crash. In this emotionally charged and deeply disturbing episode, we dig into what neighbors, friends, and classmates have been saying all along: the girls warned people. Maria was allegedly stalked for months—followed to school, harassed online, even reportedly watched from a parked car outside her home. Her loved ones say she reported this behavior to authorities, including the school and police, yet no real action was ever taken. Why not? And here’s where the story takes an even darker turn: the accused is reportedly related to Westfield Police Chief Christopher Battiloro, who confirmed the family connection but denied any interference. Still, questions swirl about whether this relationship may have created hesitancy—or worse, silence—when it came to responding to complaints. We’re examining what the law actually allows in these stalking situations, and whether the system truly couldn’t act—or simply didn’t want to. Were there formal reports? Was a restraining order filed and ignored? Were police logs quietly closed because no one wanted to rock the boat with a powerful connection in town? This episode pulls no punches. Because when young people cry for help, and they’re met with shrugs, bureaucracy, or blind eyes, the blood isn’t just on the perpetrator. It’s on everyone who could have stepped in—and didn’t. 🔔 Subscribe for more true crime coverage that cuts through the noise and demands answers. 🔎 Hashtags  #TrueCrime #Cranford #MariaNiotis #IsabellaSalas #SystemicFailure #StalkingAwareness #JusticeForMaria #JusticeForIsabella #PoliceAccountability #TeenCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Diddy’s Apology Letter Exposed & Donna Adelson’s Prison Reality | Hidden Killers Live

Diddy’s Apology Letter Exposed & Donna Adelson’s Prison Reality | Hidden Killers Live

Diddy’s Apology Letter Exposed & Donna Adelson’s Prison Reality | Hidden Killers Live This isn’t about guilt or innocence—it’s about what happens when control finally slips. In this gripping two-hour edition of Hidden Killers Live, we’re pulling back the curtain on two people who once commanded power, loyalty, and luxury—and are now forced to survive inside systems they can’t influence anymore. 🔹 HOUR 1: Diddy — The Letter, the Class, the Performance? Before sentencing, Sean “Diddy” Combs wrote a deeply personal letter to the judge, claiming sobriety, remorse, and transformation. But beneath the poetic phrasing lies a different story—one that FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke helps us decode line by line. We ask: Are Diddy’s words authentic—or strategically engineered? Is his “Free Game” jailhouse course a redemptive act—or another chapter in narrative control? How do high-power personalities shift tactics when charm and money no longer apply? This isn’t just a celebrity apology. It’s a blueprint of survival behind bars—crafted by someone who built a life on influence. 🔹 HOUR 2: Donna Adelson — No Parole, No Power, No Escape Then, we move to Donna Adelson, sentenced to life for orchestrating the murder of her former son-in-law. At 75, she's entering the brutal world of Florida’s prison system—where wealth means nothing and your only currency is how well you adapt. We walk through: The emotional shock of reception and suicide watch The dangerous reality of Lowell Correctional Institution The hidden hustles, the unbearable heat, and the psychological toll of aging with no way out Donna once ran a family empire. Now, she may be lucky to secure a spot near a fan. What happens when you lose not just your freedom, but every identity you built to protect yourself? From reputation rehab to institutional reckoning, this episode reveals what justice looks like when public image collapses—and only raw human behavior remains. 🏷️ HASHTAGS: #Diddy #DonnaAdelson #HiddenKillersLive #RobinDreeke #JudgeLetter #FreeGameWithDiddy #LowellCorrectional #TrueCrime #PrisonPsychology #CelebrityAccountability #FBIProfiler #MurderForHire #NoParole Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Will Prison Break Donna Adelson—Or Will She Adapt and Thrive?-WEEK IN REVIEW

Will Prison Break Donna Adelson—Or Will She Adapt and Thrive? She manipulated wealth, family, and even murder.

In this Hidden Killers breakdown, we explore the psychological disintegration that often comes for first-time inmates, especially older women, and why Florida prison may be the most punishing environment imaginable for someone like Donna. From the trauma of reception intake and suicide watch, to the harsh realities of Lowell Correctional’s noise, heat, and constant vulnerability, we ask: ➡️ Will Donna adapt, manipulate, or break down?  ➡️ Can she find a new identity in a world where status means nothing?  ➡️ And what does justice look like when the punishment is psychological as much as physical? With real reports from inside Florida DOC, firsthand survivor accounts, and expert insight into institutional behavior, we bring you the prison reality you don’t see on TV—and what it might do to a woman who once thought she’d die with power. 🏷️ Hashtags #DonnaAdelson #PrisonPsychology #HiddenKillers #JusticeSystem #ElderlyInmates #LowellCorrectional #NoParole #PrisonLifeBreakdown #TrueCrime #MurderForHire Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Who Is Diddy in Jail? FBI Profiler Analyzes the Man, the Myth, the Manipulator-WEEK IN REVIEW

Who Is Diddy in Jail? FBI Profiler Analyzes the Man, the Myth, the Manipulator-WEEK IN REVIEW

Who Is Diddy in Jail? FBI Profiler Analyzes the Man, the Myth, the Manipulator Can a man who spent decades controlling the narrative really just let it go? Or is his latest apology another chapter in the myth of Diddy? In this Hidden Killers Live exclusive, retired FBI Special Agent and behavioral expert Robin Dreeke joins host Tony Brueski to dissect Diddy’s letter to the judge—a raw, emotional plea that might not be as raw or emotional as it seems. Line by line, we examine what the letter says, what it means, and what it might be trying to do. Then we look at Free Game with Diddy, the six-week prison class Combs now teaches in jail. He says it’s changed his life—and changed others'. But when former gang members, counselors, and inmates start writing letters of praise to support a sentencing request, we have to ask: Is this leadership—or leverage? Robin Dreeke brings real-world experience from inside the FBI’s behavioral programs to offer insight on: Charisma as a social weapon Image construction under legal pressure The difference between true transformation and high-stakes storytelling In court, your words matter. In prison, your behavior does. But in the public eye? It’s all about what sticks. 🔖 Hashtags #Diddy #SeanCombs #RobinDreeke #JudgeLetter #FBIProfiler #PrisonPersona #TrueCrimeAnalysis #HiddenKillersLive #CelebrityAccountability #ManipulationVsRemorse Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
