What Happened To Kada Scott, Inside DA Larry Krasner’s Pattern of Failure-WEEK IN REVIEW

What Happened To Kada Scott, Inside DA Larry Krasner’s Pattern of Failure-WEEK IN REVIEW

Philadelphia’s District Attorney Larry Krasner promised reform.
Instead, he’s delivered a revolving door for violent offenders.

From Officer James O’Connor IV to Kada Scott, lives keep ending the same way — with suspects his office already had, and already let go.

In this explosive interview, former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole to expose how ideology, ego, and neglect turned Philadelphia into a test lab for failed justice:
• Why Krasner’s violent-crime conviction rate collapsed to 33%.
• How dropped gun and assault cases fueled record homicides.
• What internal culture protects prosecutors but abandons victims.
• And whether this pattern amounts to prosecutorial malpractice.

Krasner calls it progress. Philadelphia calls it survival.
This is Hidden Killers — where reform meets reality, and the truth doesn’t blink.

The Wig, the Rental Car, and the Missing Child – Inside the Melodee Buzzard Investigation

The Wig, the Rental Car, and the Missing Child – Inside the Melodee Buzzard Investigation

Nine years old. That’s how old Melodee Buzzard is—or was, the last time anyone outside her mother’s orbit saw her. Nine years old, small for her age, brown eyes, brown hair, a kid who should have been in a classroom somewhere in Lompoc, California, learning multiplication tables and begging to go to the school book fair. Instead, she’s gone. Vanished into a fog of silence and half-answers that sound less like confusion and more like strategy. This case doesn’t begin with a kidnapping call, or a frantic parent on television begging for her child’s safe return. It begins with a school administrator who finally noticed a name that hadn’t shown up for months. That’s how it started—paperwork, not panic. On October 14, 2025, Lompoc Unified School District called the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office to report that one of their students, nine-year-old Melodee Buzzard, hadn’t attended school for so long that even the system, which often looks the other way, couldn’t ignore it anymore. Deputies go to the family’s home on Mars Avenue. They knock. They find the mother, thirty-five-year-old Ashlee Buzzard. They don’t find Melodee. There’s no quick explanation, no child staying with relatives, no freshly signed homeschool affidavit. Just Ashlee—alone—and a vague response that investigators later call “no verifiable information.” No clear timeline, no proof of life, nothing they could cross-check. And right there, that absence of a simple answer—that’s the first real moment everyone should have realized something terrible had already happened. From there, detectives start working backward, tracing what they now call the “critical window.” October 7 to October 10. Those three days hold the key. On October 7, surveillance cameras at a local rental-car business catch something that would later make headlines. Ashlee and Melodee walk in together. Melodee is wearing a hooded sweatshirt pulled tight around her face, and what appears to be a dark wig. Not a hat, not a toy wig for fun—an adult wig that changes her appearance. Authorities believe it was deliberate. The image is haunting: a child standing beside her mother, in disguise, at the start of a journey that ends with her disappearance. Ashlee rents a white Chevrolet Malibu—California plate 9MNG101—and drives out of Lompoc. Investigators have pieced together enough to say she went at least as far as Nebraska, maybe through Utah and Colorado, and on the way back likely passed through Kansas. A 1,500-mile drive, one way. On October 10, the same car returns to California. This time, Ashlee is the only person in it. Melodee is nowhere to be found. That’s the part that should freeze you. A mother takes a cross-country trip with her nine-year-old, comes home alone, and four days later tells no one where her child is. The car is no longer in her possession. The rental company gets it back. It becomes a piece of evidence. And when detectives show up at her door on October 14, she says nothing that makes sense. Nothing they can verify. By that point, the FBI is looped in. The Sheriff’s Office classifies Melodee as an “at-risk missing child.” They release her description: about four-foot-six, roughly sixty pounds, brown hair and brown eyes. They emphasize that her appearance may have changed, which is another way of saying they don’t know what she looks like now. It’s the bureaucratic way of describing the unimaginable. Now, here’s where the story turns from strange to infuriating. Because as of now, Ashlee Buzzard has not been arrested. She hasn’t been charged with a single crime. She’s not sitting in a cell being pressed for answers. She’s in Lompoc, a free woman. And when the Sheriff’s Office describes her to reporters, the word they use is “uncooperative.” That’s it. Uncooperative. Think about how insane that is. If your child goes missing, you call 911. You cry on television. You hand over your phone, your passwords, your timeline. You beg people to look. You do anything. You don’t clam up. You don’t refuse to explain. You don’t hire silence as your attorney. The only people who choose silence in a missing-child case are people who don’t want the truth to come out. Family members have told People magazine that they haven’t seen Melodee in years. Not months—years. Ashlee, they say, kept her daughter isolated, blocked relatives from calling or visiting, and invented excuses that grew more erratic over time. One relative said Ashlee “wouldn’t let anyone near her” and described her as mentally unstable, paranoid, convinced the world was out to hurt her. Maybe those are exaggerations; maybe not. But if you line them up with the facts—no school attendance, no recent photos, a wig-and-road-trip combo—the pattern starts looking less like protective parenting and more like a controlled disappearance. So why hasn’t she been arrested? The answer sits in the gray zone between suspicion and evidence. Law enforcement can’t arrest someone just for being the last person with a missing child. They need probable cause—proof that a crime occurred. If Ashlee tells investigators that Melodee is alive somewhere, staying with someone safe, they have to disprove that before they can charge her. And unless they find physical evidence—a body, a phone ping in a location that contradicts her story, a witness who saw something—they’re stuck. That’s the cruel paradox. The person who may have the answers doesn’t have to share them, and the law protects her right not to. But the court of public reason doesn’t work that way. Out here, in the real world, we look at behavior. And Ashlee Buzzard’s behavior screams alarm bells. She isolates her child from everyone. She disguises her child. She drives 1,500 miles and comes back alone. Then she shuts down and refuses to help. That’s not confusion. That’s intent. The wig itself is chilling. You can almost picture that moment at the counter: a clerk printing papers, the fluorescent lights humming, the mother tapping her card, the little girl shifting uncomfortably beside her, hood up, hair that doesn’t match the picture on her ID. It’s a scene straight out of a thousand abduction documentaries—except this time, the abductor is the parent. Investigators have said they’re pursuing “multi-state data points.” That means plate-reader hits along interstates, credit-card transactions, gas-station cameras, cell-tower pings, and rental-car telematics—the GPS breadcrumbs that modern vehicles automatically log. Every stop along that route could hold a clue: a security camera, a receipt, a witness. The problem is time. Every day that passes, video gets overwritten, data cycles out, and the trail grows colder. The public wants to know why there was no Amber Alert. Because when people hear “nine-year-old missing,” they expect that shrill tone on their phone and that flashing banner across the interstate. But Amber Alerts have specific rules: there has to be credible evidence of abduction and an imminent danger to life. And if investigators can’t prove she was abducted—if technically the mother had lawful custody—they can’t trigger the system. So even with the FBI involved, there’s no blaring alert, no national mobilization. Just a quiet database entry that says “at-risk missing child.” There’s another layer here—the school system’s role. Records show Melodee was listed in an independent-study program earlier that fall, but the paperwork doesn’t line up. California law requires homeschooling affidavits; there wasn’t one filed. Which means this child was essentially invisible to any official oversight for nearly a year. When teachers don’t see a kid, when attendance flags get ignored, when no one from child welfare double-checks, that’s how a nine-year-old disappears without anyone noticing until it’s too late. You can feel the timeline tightening like a noose. October 7: wig and rental car. October 10: mother returns alone. October 14: school calls authorities. And by the time the first press release goes out, the trail is already seven days cold. What we know about Ashlee’s mindset comes mostly from those who used to be in her life. They describe volatility, paranoia, a growing sense that she didn’t trust anyone. Some call it mental instability; others think it’s narcissism—the belief that she alone knows what’s best and everyone else is the enemy. Those two traits often overlap. Isolation becomes control. Control becomes secrecy. Secrecy becomes a trap the child can’t escape. What’s equally terrifying is how calm the official messaging is. The Sheriff’s Office says they’re “continuing to investigate.” The FBI updates its listing once in a while with “newly released images.” The press conferences are professional, procedural, almost sterile. But behind the curtain, you can imagine the real panic. Because if Melodee is alive, every day lost could be the one that ends that. And if she’s not, every day lost is another day evidence decays. So where is Ashlee Buzzard right now? She’s still in California. Still free. She has not been taken into custody, not charged, not even publicly declared a suspect. Investigators have described her as “uncooperative” but nothing more. They haven’t said whether her passport or phone are under monitoring. They won’t reveal whether search warrants have been served. In other words: she’s living her life while the rest of us wonder where her child is. If this feels wrong to you, that’s because it is. The system protects the rights of the accused—until they’re accused of nothing, and then the system protects inertia. And that’s what this looks like. A standoff between what everyone knows instinctively and what can be proven on paper. For the FBI, this case sits in the same category as a dozen other “parental concealment” cases that hover on the edge between family-court dispute and felony crime. It’s tricky because the parent has partial legal rights, but those rights don’t extend to making a child vanish. So investigators have to build a timeline precise enough to prove intent to conceal or harm. That takes time, subpoenas, and data correlation—while the clock ticks and the public loses interest. But I don’t think this one fades away quietly. Not with images like that—mother and daughter at the rental counter, the little girl in a wig. That image alone will burn into people’s minds. Let’s talk about motive, because it’s the only question left. Why would a mother do this? There are theories. Custody paranoia, fear of losing control, a mental-health break, or something far darker. But no matter which path you take, the end point is the same: a child cut off from the world, and a parent unwilling to explain. And yet, through all of it, Ashlee hasn’t slipped up publicly. No press conference, no on-camera plea, no statements through an attorney. Just silence. That’s its own kind of confession. The silence is a wall. You can almost feel investigators banging their fists against it—knowing the answers are on the other side, but unable to legally break through without something solid. Maybe a digital trail will crack it. Maybe a surveillance clip from a Nebraska gas station will. Maybe someone who saw them on the road will finally realize who they saw. That’s what the FBI is betting on. Meanwhile, we have to sit in this uncomfortable space between “missing” and “justice.” The space where a mother can take her child away, come home alone, and still sleep in her own bed while the rest of us try to piece together what happened. If you ask me, there’s only one logical reason for the behavior we’re seeing. Ashlee Buzzard knows exactly where Melodee is. The question is whether she’s willing—or able—to tell the truth. And that’s where it stands. Nine years old. Brown hair, brown eyes. Last seen October 7 in a wig and hoodie at a car-rental counter. Her mother drove 1,500 miles to Nebraska and back. Returned alone October 10. Contacted by deputies October 14. Uncooperative since. No arrest. No charges. No Melodee. So what do we do with that? We keep saying her name. We keep talking about her story until someone who saw that white Malibu between California and Nebraska remembers something. Because maybe it’s not too late. Maybe she’s still out there, waiting for somebody to notice. If you saw anything—any sighting of Ashlee Buzzard or a young girl between October 7 and October 10—call the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office at (805) 681-4150, or their anonymous line at (805) 681-4171, or the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI. Because the truth is simple: silence protects no one. And until the silence breaks, Melodee Buzzard is still missing. And that should haunt every single one of us.

The Genesis of Control: How Donna Adelson Became Donna Adelson

The Genesis of Control: How Donna Adelson Became Donna Adelson

Before Donna Adelson was a headline — before the mugshots, the trials, the whispers about murder-for-hire — she was a woman built for control. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we trace how Donna Adelson became Donna Adelson — from her 1950s New York upbringing to the mindset that would one day define her downfall. What happens when an entire generation is raised to believe obedience equals love, achievement equals safety, and perfection equals survival? Tony digs into the psychology of authoritarian parenting, the postwar obsession with order, and the quiet fear that can turn control into compulsion. This isn’t speculation — it’s context. Because before Donna Adelson ever micromanaged her family’s image or her son’s future, she lived in a world that worshiped control and punished chaos. A world that taught: if you can’t control the story, you lose it. This is where it all began — The Genesis of Control. #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrime #Psychology #Control #AuthoritarianParenting #CriminalPsychology #Matriarch #PowerAndFear Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna Adelson’s Narcissistic Prison Letter: “If I Don’t Get Out, I Hope I Die Soon”

Donna Adelson’s Narcissistic Prison Letter: “If I Don’t Get Out, I Hope I Die Soon”

In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels take listeners inside a letter that shocked everyone who followed the Dan Markel murder case — a 2024 note written by convicted killer Donna Adelson from her jail cell. It begins with a mother’s lament — the pain of missing her grandsons’ first day of school — but quickly morphs into something darker. “If I don’t get out, then hopefully I die soon so that no one remembers me in prison garb behind bars.” The words read less like remorse and more like resentment — a woman consumed by self-pity, not guilt. Donna paints herself as the victim of “vigilante justice” and a hometown prosecutor’s ambition, calling the case “another notch in her belt.” She even asks that her grandsons never see her in prison, telling them instead to “remember the good times.” But the Markel family’s statement after sentencing makes clear what they think of that narrative. “Her display of emotion was not remorse for Danny’s death, but sorrow for the consequences she now faces for causing it.”  They recount how Donna and Harvey Adelson kept Dan Markel’s sons from their paternal grandparents for six years — until Florida passed the Markel Act — and describe her “callous indifference” to the murder she helped set in motion. This letter, and the family’s response, expose the heart of the Adelson saga: control, image, and denial.  Donna’s words show a woman who cannot see beyond her own suffering — who views justice not as accountability but as persecution. Tony breaks down what these lines reveal about her psyche, her obsession with narrative control, and the haunting reality that even behind bars, Donna Adelson still sees herself as the wronged party. #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #MurderForHire #PrisonLetter #JusticeForDanMarkel #FamilyControl #PsychologyOfEvil #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Virginia Au Pair Murder Plot: Husband, Fetish Site & Double Homicide

Virginia Au Pair Murder Plot: Husband, Fetish Site & Double Homicide

In a quiet Virginia suburb, what looked like a perfect family hid something unthinkable. When police walked into the Banfield home in Herndon, they found 37-year-old nurse Christine Banfield stabbed to death and 39-year-old Joseph Ryan shot in the head. Her husband, former IRS agent Brendan Banfield, claimed it was self-defense — that Ryan had broken in and attacked his wife. But investigators soon discovered the scene was staged.  Christine had never met Joseph Ryan. In reality, he had been lured to the house through a fetish site called FetLife, believing he was meeting Christine for a consensual role-play encounter. The account that contacted him used her photo and name — but wasn’t her. It was allegedly created by her husband. Living in that same home was their Brazilian au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, who was having an affair with Brendan. She later admitted to helping orchestrate the meeting — and described the entire deadly plan as “part of the game.” Prosecutors say the “game” was a plot to kill Christine and stage it as a home invasion gone wrong. Both Christine and Joseph Ryan ended up dead. Juliana has since pled guilty to manslaughter and agreed to testify against Brendan Banfield, who now faces aggravated murder charges in Fairfax County. His trial, most recently delayed, is set for January 13, 2026. In this Hidden Killers deep dive, Tony Brueski exposes the chilling story behind the façade of suburban normalcy — how power, fantasy, and control converged into one of Virginia’s most disturbing murder cases. This isn’t a story about sex. It’s a story about manipulation, obsession, and the fatal delusion of control. Because when you start to play God, eventually, someone bleeds for it. #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #BanfieldCase #JulianaMagalhaes #ChristineBanfield #BrendanBanfield #JosephRyan #VirginiaCrime #TonyBrueski #CrimePodcast #FetishMurder #HerndonCrime #MurderCase #TrueCrimeStories Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Letters from the Dark: Donna Adelson’s Prison Plea & Chad Daybell’s Ghost Confession

Letters from the Dark: Donna Adelson’s Prison Plea & Chad Daybell’s Ghost Confession

In this full episode of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels take you inside the minds of two of America’s most notorious convicted murderers — Donna Adelson and Chad Daybell — through the words they wrote themselves. Segment 1: Donna Adelson’s Prison Letter  From a Florida jail cell, Donna Adelson wrote a 2024 letter to her husband Harvey describing how her heart “breaks” over missing her grandsons’ first day of school. What could have been a rare glimpse of remorse quickly spirals into denial and bitterness: “If I don’t get out, then hopefully I die soon so no one remembers me in prison garb.” She paints herself as the victim of “vigilante justice” and a “southern sweetheart prosecutor,” refusing to accept any role in the plot that left her former son-in-law, Dan Markel, dead.  The Markel family’s official statement, read in court, shredded that illusion — accusing Donna of callous indifference and of cutting off Markel’s parents from their grandsons for six years.  Tony unpacks the psychology of control, image management, and moral blindness that define the Adelson saga — and why Donna’s letter might be the most revealing confession she never meant to write. Segment 2: Chad Daybell’s Ghost Story Letter  Then, we shift from manipulation to mysticism. In “Letter #7,” Chad Daybell — the self-proclaimed prophet now convicted of multiple murders — recounts his time as a Utah cemetery sexton.  He writes of being haunted by a thief’s ghost, attacked by unseen forces, and taunted by demonic voices shouting, “We hate your books!” He interprets it all as proof that Heaven had chosen him for a divine mission. Tony dissects how this “ghost story” maps the arc of Daybell’s descent — from fantasy and grandiosity to apocalyptic belief — showing how delusion and ego fused into a theology that justified murder. Two letters. Two minds. One terrifying common thread: a total inability to see reality — or remorse — through the walls they built around themselves. #DonnaAdelson #ChadDaybell #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #DanMarkel #LoriVallow #MurderForHire #CultCrimes #PsychologyOfEvil #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What If Scott Peterson Didn’t Do It? The LA Innocence Project’s Bombshell Report

What If Scott Peterson Didn’t Do It? The LA Innocence Project’s Bombshell Report

For more than twenty years, the name Scott Peterson has been synonymous with guilt. A husband who smiled on camera, a pregnant wife who vanished on Christmas Eve, and a nation that decided — almost instantly — that he was the killer. But now, the Los Angeles Innocence Project has filed a 2,600-page petition that could force the courts — and the public — to look again. Their filing doesn’t claim Scott Peterson is innocent. It asks a harder question: What if the story we all accepted isn’t the whole truth? Inside the petition are four explosive claims: 🔸 The Orange Van Theory — New evidence suggests a burglary across the street from the Petersons’ home happened on December 24, 2002, not two days later. Witnesses say a pregnant woman matching Laci’s description was seen confronting men near an orange van that morning. 🔸 The Burned Mattress — That same van was later found on fire, less than a mile away. Inside, investigators found a mattress soaked in blood. Testing confirmed it was human, but the case file shows it was never fully DNA-typed. 🔸 The Science That Doesn’t Add Up — New hydrodynamic analysis argues the bodies could not have drifted from Scott’s fishing location to where they were found. The tides, currents, and physics simply don’t match the prosecution’s 2004 theory. 🔸 The 126-Page Declaration — Scott Peterson himself has finally spoken, dismantling the case point-by-point. He maintains, “There was no direct or forensic evidence ever linking me to the crime.” Could this be the first real crack in one of America’s most famous murder convictions — or just the latest illusion from a man who’s been lying since day one? In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we take the objective view almost no one dares to ask: What if Scott Peterson didn’t do it? #ScottPeterson #LaciPeterson #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #LosAngelesInnocenceProject #TrueCrime #WrongfulConviction #DNAEvidence #OrangeVan #JusticeForLaci Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Diddy Woke Up With a Knife to His Throat — Excuse Me While I Don’t Care

Diddy Woke Up With a Knife to His Throat — Excuse Me While I Don’t Care

Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly woke up in his Brooklyn prison cell with a knife pressed against his throat. According to a close friend, it was a warning — a scare that could’ve ended with blood on the floor. But here’s the question that needs to be asked: why is this the story everyone’s talking about? Because if even half of what’s been alleged about Diddy is true, then the real horror didn’t start behind bars. It started long before — behind locked hotel doors, studio walls, and a decade of silence. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down why sympathy for Diddy’s so-called “brush with danger” feels misplaced. The federal indictment, the civil lawsuits, the survivors — their stories paint a picture of inhuman treatment that makes one prison scare seem like poetic irony. Cassie Ventura’s decade of abuse allegations. The infamous 2016 hotel video. Claims of “freak-off” sex parties, drugging, beating, coercion, and threats. Lawsuits describing a pattern of violence, humiliation, and control that allegedly spanned decades. The minors. The staffers who say they were forced to procure drugs or keep secrets. The federal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. The witnesses. The verdicts. This isn’t about celebrity gossip. It’s about power — the kind that corrodes every soul it touches.  And it’s about what happens when the man who allegedly used fear as a weapon finally feels it himself. If you came here looking for a redemption story, you won’t find one.  Because waking up to a knife at your throat isn’t the same as living years with one metaphorically pressed against your soul. This is Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski — where we stop pretending that predators deserve sympathy, and start remembering the victims who were never headline news. #Diddy #SeanCombs #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrime #CassieVentura #DiddyTrial #DiddyPrison #CelebrityCrime #Justice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The FBI, Epstein, and the Psychology of Silence, The Virginia Giuffre Story

The FBI, Epstein, and the Psychology of Silence, The Virginia Giuffre Story

Power protects itself. That’s the unspoken rule inside elite institutions — and it’s what former FBI agent Robin Dreeke and Tony Brueski expose in this gripping episode of Hidden Killers. From Jeffrey Epstein’s library of blackmail tapes to the Department of Justice’s locked files, the evidence is there — and yet, nothing happens. Why? Because predators protect predators. In this extended, unsparing interview, Robin and Tony go beyond the headlines to uncover the psychology of protection: how abusers recruit other enablers, how fear and leverage turn good people into silent accomplices, and how institutions like the FBI evolve into self-preserving organisms that prize reputation over truth. They unpack the idea of “institutional psychopathy,” explain how collective narcissism fuels corruption, and ask the hardest question of all — what happens when the watchdog starts loving the wolf? If you’ve ever wondered why the powerful never fall, this episode will leave you furious, informed, and unwilling to look away. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #RobinDreeke #Epstein #FBI #Power #Predators #Corruption #Accountability #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
