Donna Sentencing - Inside Donna Adelson’s Sentencing: Tears, Denial, and Zero Remorse

Donna Sentencing - Inside Donna Adelson’s Sentencing: Tears, Denial, and Zero Remorse

Donna Adelson’s story ends where it always seemed destined to — in control until the very last breath she could muster.

At 75 years old, the matriarch of the family that orchestrated the 2014 murder-for-hire of FSU law professor Dan Markel was officially sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in a Tallahassee courtroom today.

Judge Stephen Everett declined her attorneys’ plea for leniency, rejecting what they called a “downward departure.” He told the court he would not exercise discretion to reduce her punishment. Adelson will serve life for first-degree murder, plus two concurrent 30-year sentences for conspiracy and solicitation — meaning she will die behind bars.

In this special episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, retired FBI Special Agent and former Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Robin Dreeke joins Tony to dissect the full sentencing: the courtroom dynamics, the failed bid for sympathy, and what her words — and body language — really revealed.

Adelson, sobbing as she addressed the court, maintained her innocence. “I had no knowledge of this plan,” she said. “I swear to you on my life I was not involved.”
Judge Everett interrupted twice, citing her “utter lack of remorse.” Her husband Dr. Harvey Adelson followed, lashing out at prosecutors and the Markel family before being cut off by the judge.

Robin and Tony break down every layer — how the matriarch tried to frame herself as victim, how her denial fits classic behavioral patterns of control and narcissism, and why her demeanor failed to sway the bench.

From a life of status in Miami’s upper circle to a prison cell in Florida, Donna Adelson’s fall is total. And the ripple effect continues — with the looming question: Will others in the Adelson family face consequences next?

Teen Girl Found in D4vd’s Tesla: Timeline of a Deadly Disappearance

Teen Girl Found in D4vd’s Tesla: Timeline of a Deadly Disappearance

Teen Girl Found in D4vd’s Tesla: Timeline of a Deadly Disappearance She vanished in April 2024. She was just 15. For 17 months, Celeste Rivas Hernandez was missing. No breaking news alerts. No press conferences. And then, out of nowhere, she’s found wrapped in plastic in the trunk of a Tesla—a car that had been abandoned in the Hollywood Hills and later linked to music artist D4vd. In this segment, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins me to walk through the full timeline—from the first missing persons report to the shocking discovery in September 2025. We map out how long she was gone, where she was last seen, and how the vehicle sat unnoticed in public view, then at an impound lot, until staff finally opened the trunk after smelling decomposition. We dig into:  – The risk factors that make missing teens like Celeste vulnerable to long-term grooming  – What post-disappearance patterns of behavior investigators look for in cases like this  – Why a car being abandoned and towed without anyone checking it is a massive procedural gap  – And how time and silence allow these tragedies to unfold in plain sight As of this recording: no charges have been filed. Cause and manner of death remain undetermined. But the timeline is real. The body is real. And the silence surrounding it is deafening. 🏷️ Hashtags #D4vd #CelesteRivas #MissingTeen #TrunkDiscovery #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #TrueCrime #FBIProfiler #HollywoodHills #InvestigationOngoing Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Fresh Breaks in the D4vd : Celeste Rivas Case & What We Hear in the Kohberger Tapes

Fresh Breaks in the D4vd : Celeste Rivas Case & What We Hear in the Kohberger Tapes

Fresh Breaks in the D4vd : Celeste Rivas Case & What We Hear in the Kohberger Tapes 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was missing for 17 months. Then her body was found wrapped in plastic inside a Tesla registered to music artist D4vd, abandoned in the Hollywood Hills. Bryan Kohberger stabbed four students to death—then calmly walked into Costco hours later, shopping like nothing happened. These are two of the most disturbing cases in recent memory. And in this full episode of Hidden Killers, I sit down with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to analyze the behavior that reveals what’s really going on beneath the surface. We cover: 🔪 The full Celeste Rivas timeline: from missing person to body in a trunk 🔪 Grooming signs: matching tattoos, shared messages, and behavioral control 🔪 Why no one has been charged in Celeste’s case—and what that means 🔪 Kohberger’s post-murder shopping trip: what investigators read in "normal" behavior 🔪 Survivor interviews: how trauma sounds vs. how the internet twists it 🔪 Community silence: why people didn’t speak up—until it was too late 🔪 What predators count on: your discomfort, your delay, your disbelief Celeste was visible in Discord chats, Twitch streams, and shared screenshots. Kohberger’s every move was caught on surveillance. Yet in both cases, the public missed what mattered most: the behavior. Robin Dreeke brings the FBI’s playbook to the table—no fluff, no conspiracy nonsense, just how trained profilers decode grooming, concealment, and control. 👉  Bryan Kohberger has pleaded guilty and is serving life in prison. 👉 Celeste Rivas is dead. Her cause of death is still pending. No charges have been filed.  But the signs were there. And we walk you through every one of them. If you're here for real analysis—not internet guesswork—this is the episode. 🏷️ HASHTAGS  #CelesteRivas #D4vd #BryanKohberger #KohbergerVideo #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #FBIProfiler #TrunkDiscovery #PostCrimeBehavior Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
