Jake Harrow Pleads Guilty: The Tragic Murder of Baby Emmanuel Harrow

Imagine fleeing a war as a child, arriving in America unable to speak the language — and decades later, becoming the prosecutor who takes down one of the nation’s most infamous serial killers. That’s the real-life journey of Thien Ho, Sacramento County’s District Attorney and author of The People vs. The Golden State Killer. In this Hidden Killers exclusive, Tony Brueski sits down with Ho to unpack the extraordinary story behind both the man and the case: the trauma that drove him, the promise he made to a survivor, and the moment he finally saw justice done. Ho shares never-before-heard insights into Joseph James DeAngelo’s double life — a police officer by day, a sadistic predator by night — and explains how the prosecution dismantled his decades-long facade of control. He also opens up about his personal mission to shift true crime’s focus away from the monster and toward the heroes: the survivors and investigators who never stopped fighting. It’s a conversation about justice, redemption, and the moral courage it takes to stand in the face of real evil — and win. #ThienHo #GoldenStateKiller #JosephDeAngelo #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeToday #JusticeServed #ColdCase #SurvivorVoices #DNAJustice #EastAreaRapist Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the murder-for-hire case of Florida State law professor Dan Markel, one name still divides the public — Wendi Adelson. She was his ex-wife. The mother of his children. The woman whose family — Donna and Charlie Adelson — now sit behind bars for orchestrating his killing. And yet, Wendi remains free. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down the exact words Wendi spoke under oath and what her immunity deal really protects her from. This isn’t speculation — it’s straight from the courtroom. Wendi testified that her mother called her life in Tallahassee a “hostage situation.”  She admitted that Donna floated a $1 million bribe to get Markel to agree to a relocation. She confirmed her brother Charlie’s “TV vs. hitman” joke, acknowledged that “someone did hire a hitman,” but denied knowing anything about it. She denied giving information, denied involvement, denied any “plausible deniability” pact in her family. So why can’t prosecutors charge her — at least not yet?  Because Wendi testified under a grant of use and derivative-use immunity. That means the State can’t use her words, or any evidence directly derived from those words, to prosecute her later. But the protection has limits: it doesn’t cover lying, it doesn’t cover new evidence found independently, and it only applies when the State compels her testimony. This episode exposes how that deal works — and why it might one day collapse if prosecutors find the right evidence. 🎧 Listen to Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski for full courtroom analysis, expert insight, and exclusive updates on the Adelson family fallout. Editor’s Note: This episode discusses publicly reported testimony and legal proceedings in the State of Florida v. Donna Adelson. Wendi Adelson has not been accused or charged with any crime. The analysis presented reflects legal commentary and opinion based on the public record. #WendiAdelson #DanMarkel #DonnaAdelson #CharlieAdelson #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #FloridaJustice #CourtTV #ImmunityDeal #MurderForHire Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

She killed their mother — and now she wants to sue them. Convicted shooter Susan Lorincz, the woman who fired through a locked door and killed Ajike “AJ” Owens in Ocala, Florida, is back in the headlines after sending a four-page handwritten letter from prison threatening to sue Owens’ children and mother for defamation. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down the letter in full — every word, every excuse, every attempt to rewrite history. It’s a chilling glimpse into a mind that refuses to accept guilt and still sees itself as the victim. Lorincz, serving a 25-year sentence for manslaughter with a firearm, now claims she’s been “slandered” by the very family whose life she destroyed. From her accusations against AJ’s kids to her bizarre claims of “trespassing” and “harassment,” the letter reveals something far darker than a legal threat — it shows the psychology of denial and control that fueled the tragedy in the first place. How does someone who pulled the trigger on an unarmed mother now try to weaponize the law against grieving children? What does this say about accountability, justice, and the warped need for power even from a prison cell? Join Tony as he reads the letter aloud, analyzes the legal absurdity behind Lorincz’s threats, and exposes the emotional toll this letter could have on the Owens family. This isn’t about justice — it’s about cruelty dressed up as paperwork. 🎧 Watch, listen, and join the conversation.  👇 Comment below: Should this kind of post-conviction intimidation be legally punishable? #HiddenKillers #SusanLorincz #AjikeOwens #TrueCrimeToday #JusticeForAJ #FloridaCrime #CourtTV #PrisonLetters #VictimBlaming #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast #Manslaughter #Ocala #CrimeCommentary #Narcissism #Control #LegalSystem Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In one of the most disturbing cases in modern memory, Kimberly Sullivan stands accused of holding her stepson captive for twenty years inside a locked room in their Waterbury, Connecticut home. When firefighters arrived to battle a blaze in February 2025, they didn’t just find smoke—they found a man who was 5’9” tall and weighed only 68 pounds, a skeletal figure who told police he had set the fire himself because it was the only way out. Now, in a stunning twist, a Connecticut judge has ruled that Sullivan — currently out on bond with a GPS ankle monitor — has the right to access the victim’s new name and secret location so she can “confront her accuser.” Prosecutors fought the motion, warning that the victim is terrified of her and still recovering physically and mentally from years of starvation and isolation. But the judge ruled that her constitutional rights outweigh his safety. Let that sink in: a woman accused of locking a child away for two decades now knows where that same victim lives. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down how the system failed at every turn — from the school that stopped asking questions, to child services that walked away after one welfare check, to a legal system that calls this “fairness.” How could this happen? How does someone vanish for twenty years while the entire state looks the other way? And how can a courtroom still prioritize an alleged abuser’s rights over a survivor’s safety? This isn’t justice. It’s a procedural nightmare — and it’s exactly why the system is broken. #KimberlySullivan #WaterburyCase #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #TonyBrueski #SystemicFailure #JusticeSystem #VictimsRights #AbuseSurvivor #CourtroomFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

After weeks of testimony and emotional bodycam footage, the jury finally spoke: Sean Grayson is guilty of second-degree murder for killing Sonya Massey — the unarmed woman who called 911 for help. But “second-degree” feels like a technicality, not justice. In this Hidden Killers exclusive, Tony Brueski and defense attorney Bob Motta pull apart the verdict, the courtroom strategy, and the dangerous precedent it sets. How did prosecutors lose the first-degree charge when the evidence seemed iron-clad? Did the defense successfully reframe Grayson’s panic as “fear for his life”? Together they analyze how “imperfect self-defense” keeps shielding officers from full accountability, why juries hesitate to call it murder when the killer wears a badge, and what this means for police reform going forward. This isn’t about one bad cop — it’s about a system that keeps lowering the bar for justice. Hidden Killers — real verdicts, raw truth. #SeanGrayson #SonyaMassey #BobMotta #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrime #JusticeForSonya #PoliceShooting #LegalBreakdown #CourtAnalysis #Accountability Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
