Inside Ed Gein’s Farmhouse: The True Story Hollywood Got Wrong

In the face of unthinkable tragedy, Stacy Chapin, the mother of slain University of Idaho student Ethan Chapin, chose a path of grace over vengeance. This deeply moving commentary from Hidden Killers explores her powerful decision to not let Bryan Kohberger—the accused killer—define her or her family's story. Instead of focusing on the crime, Stacy and her family have channeled their grief into a powerful legacy, establishing scholarships and writing a book to honor Ethan's life. This episode is a tribute to the strength of the human spirit. It's about what happens after the crime—the difficult journey of healing, the importance of reclaiming a victim’s memory, and the radical act of choosing peace in a world that demands outrage. We'll examine this unique approach to grieving and the profound impact it can have on survivors. This is a story of resilience, love, and the enduring power of a family's legacy.

This second segment dives into the devastating mental deterioration of Richard Allen during his 13-month pretrial incarceration in solitary confinement—what the state called a “safekeeping order.” Tony, Stacy, Todd, and Bob break down how Allen was isolated, broken down, and allegedly manipulated into confessing to the Delphi murders—not through force, but through psychological collapse. Bob takes us inside the jailhouse calls, including one made at 3:15 AM where Allen desperately tells his stepfather he’s losing his mind and feels like he’s in Guantanamo. Hours later, in a fog of confusion, he tells his wife, “I did it”—then follows with, “Evidently I did.” Is that a confession? Or the ramblings of a man pushed to the brink? We discuss how labeling solitary as a “single-person cell” let the state sidestep human rights standards, why the court excluded a jail call where Allen professes his innocence, and how this system, by design or dysfunction, weaponizes mental illness to build a case. If this was strategy, not oversight, it’s one of the most ethically disturbing chapters in modern true crime. This segment lays bare the line between confession and coercion—and forces us to ask: is it justice if you have to destroy a man’s mind to convict him? #RichardAllen #SolitaryConfinement #FalseConfession #DelphiMurders #TrueCrime #JailhouseCall #PsychologicalAbuse #MentalHealthCrisis #WrongfulConviction #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Brian Walshe murder case has taken a shocking turn, with the court ordering a psychiatric evaluation. In this exclusive Hidden Killers legal breakdown, Tony Brueski examines what this stunning development means for the future of the trial and the complexities of the justice system. We'll trace the compelling digital evidence, from the chilling iPad searches for dismemberment techniques to the damning Home Depot purchases that led to Walshe's arrest. This video isn't about a verdict; it's an in-depth analysis of the legal process, focusing on the critical question of competency to stand trial. We’ll explain the legal standards, including the "Dusky standard," and discuss how a finding of incompetence could suspend the case indefinitely. From courtroom delays to psychological assessments at Bridgewater State Hospital, this is a front-row seat to the high-stakes legal twist in one of the year's most high-profile murder cases. Join us as we unravel the legal implications and explore the reasons behind this significant pause.

In this first segment of Hidden Killers Live, we dig into the shocking breakdown of Richard Allen’s appeal process in the Delphi murders case. With defense attorney and Defense Diaries host Bob Motta joining the panel, we unpack the bureaucratic chaos surrounding missing exhibits tied to the now-infamous 136-page Franks memo—a document that accused law enforcement of misleading the court to obtain a search warrant. Why does this matter? Because those exhibits, including documents that point toward alternate suspects, weren't formally entered into evidence—meaning they’ve been omitted from the official trial transcript. The appellate court now has a certified record that’s incomplete, and Richard Allen’s legal team has been forced to file a motion to compel the transmission of those exhibits just to keep the appeal alive. Bob explains how different jurisdictions handle this kind of mess, what’s at stake, and how this may set precedent for how other wrongful conviction appeals are sabotaged through procedural technicalities. We also discuss the very real possibility that Richard Allen’s appeal could fail—not because of the merits, but because of broken systems, missing paperwork, and a Kafkaesque legal process that seems more interested in protecting itself than in seeking justice. This isn’t just another paperwork delay. It’s potentially the death knell for a man already sentenced to die in prison—and it raises serious questions about transparency, accountability, and whether justice can survive in a system this broken. #RichardAllen #DelphiMurders #TrueCrime #FranksMemo #AppealProcess #HiddenKillers #BobMotta #DelphiCase #Injustice #WrongfulConviction Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this final segment, we tackle the eerie silence surrounding Richard Allen’s current status in the Oklahoma prison system. Even his wife Kathy—who hasn’t seen him since the conviction—is still waiting weeks into a background check just to visit. Advocacy groups and legal experts can’t even find his inmate listing. So the question becomes: where is Richard Allen? And why is he being kept so hard to reach? Tony, Stacy, Todd, and Bob explore the systemic fog that has enveloped Allen since his sentencing. With no transparency, no accountability, and no updates—even his appellate attorneys are struggling to get access. This isn’t just legal red tape. It’s a case study in how a person can be swallowed by the prison system, with safeguards eroded under vague “safekeeping” orders and bureaucratic runarounds. We also discuss the bigger picture: is the state trying to disappear Richard Allen to avoid scrutiny? Are they protecting a conviction at the expense of basic human rights? Or has the machine simply stopped caring what happens to the man at the center of one of the most contested murder trials in recent history? This is a wake-up call for anyone who believes due process is still alive and well in America. #RichardAllen #DelphiMurders #PrisonSystemFailure #InmateRights #TrueCrime #HiddenInmate #Disappeared #WrongfulConviction #DelphiCase #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sean “Diddy” Combs walked into a Manhattan courtroom hoping for a redemption arc. He left with 50 months in federal prison, five years of supervised release, and a $500,000 fine — because this time, the court listened to the women first. In this episode of Hidden Killers, we break down exactly what happened at Diddy’s sentencing — from Cassie Ventura’s brutal victim impact letter to the government’s demolition of his “changed man” image, to the judge’s refusal to let branding outweigh violence. 🎙️ What we cover: 📄 Cassie’s full letter, detailing years of control, violence, and coerced “freak-offs” 📽️ The 11-minute courtroom video montage Diddy’s team used to sell his image — and why it didn’t work 🧠 The psychological tactics behind Diddy’s apology and courtroom performance ⚖️ Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik’s powerful takedown: “a master puppeteer of his own image” 👨‍⚖️ Judge Subramanian’s statement: “Good works can’t wash away the record of this case.” 📉 The sentence: 50 months. No branding. No spin. Just accountability. This isn’t just about one man’s downfall — it’s about the tension between influence and justice, between what the public sees and what the survivors lived through. And in that courtroom? Cassie was finally believed. 🔔 Subscribe for more true crime coverage, courtroom analysis, and deep psychological breakdowns from Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski. #DiddySentencing #CassieVentura #SeanCombs #FreakOffs #SurvivorTestimony #HiddenKillers #AbuseOfPower #FederalCourt #RobinDreeke #JusticeForSurvivors Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced Sean “Diddy” Combs to 50 months in federal prison, he read a letter that few people have actually seen in full — from Casandra Ventura, known to the world as Cassie. This wasn’t a PR statement. It wasn’t a soundbite. It was eleven years of abuse, control, and degradation laid out for the court, in Cassie’s own words. She described being groomed as a teenager, forced into repeated “freak offs” with male sex workers while Diddy dictated every detail — from what she wore to how she looked — under the constant threat of violence, blackmail, and career destruction. Cassie wrote about bruises, scars, infections, addiction, and suicide ideation. She detailed how Diddy’s threats extended to her family and how his power turned her body and livelihood into leverage. She told the judge: “Nothing about this story is great, modern, or loving — this was a horrific decade of my life stained by abuse, violence, forced sex, and degradation.” She warned that Diddy’s public claims of being “changed” and wanting to “mentor” abusers were a façade, writing that the manipulator, aggressor, and trafficker she knew “is who he is as a human.” In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down Cassie Ventura’s full sentencing letter, line by line, and explores what it reveals about Diddy’s pattern of control, the mechanics of coercion, and the reality of survivor testimony in high‑profile cases. We’ll look at how the judge responded, what the sentence really means, and what’s next as Diddy prepares to appeal. 🔔 Subscribe for Hidden Killers’ continuing coverage of the Diddy case, survivor stories, and expert analysis on power and abuse. #CassieVentura #DiddySentencing #SeanCombs #SurvivorTestimony #FreakOffs #HiddenKillers #AbuseOfPower #FederalSentence #JusticeForSurvivors #CourtroomDrama Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
