Inside the Secret Connection Between D4vd and Celeste Rivas Hernandez
When 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez vanished from her California home, nobody imagined she’d later be found inside a Tesla — registered to viral pop star d4vd. The question haunting everyone since: what was their relationship? In this episode, Tony Brueski takes you inside the connection that’s now at the center of one of the most disturbing Hollywood investigations of the year. Matching tattoos. An unreleased song called “Celeste.” Photos reportedly taken by him. A livestream clip that ends with the words “Delete everything.” What do these pieces mean — and how close were they, really? This isn’t gossip. It’s a deep dive into a power dynamic that may have crossed the line between fame and exploitation — and a reminder of what happens when influence meets innocence. Tony separates fact from rumor, walking the razor’s edge between evidence and silence in a case that’s as tragic as it is chilling.

15 People Saw Laci Peterson Alive!! NONE Were Heard in Court!
Imagine fifteen people—five of whom personally knew Laci Peterson—telling police they saw her alive, walking her golden retriever, after her husband had already left for his solo fishing trip. Now imagine every single one of them ignored. That’s the picture painted by the LA Innocence Project in its new 600-page petition for a new trial. The filing lists more than a dozen witnesses who saw a pregnant woman matching Laci’s description between 9:45 and 11:30 a.m. on Dec 24 2002, right in the Petersons’ Modesto neighborhood. Detective Grogan told jurors no “verifiable” sightings existed. Yet other officers called those witnesses “credible.” Several now swear they were told by police, “We already got our guy.” This episode examines the testimonies that never reached a courtroom—and why suppressing them matters. If Laci was seen alive after Scott left, the state’s entire timeline collapses. Fifteen people say they saw the truth. The question is — why didn’t anyone want the jury to? #ScottPeterson #LaciPeterson #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #LAInnocenceProject #JusticeForLaci #TonyBrueski #WrongfulConviction #EyewitnessTestimony #CriminalJustice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Break the Case: Former FBI Agent Breaks Down the Case of Missing Girl Melodee Buzzard
Nine-year-old Melodee Buzzard should have been in a classroom in Lompoc, California. Instead, she’s missing—and the story unfolding around her disappearance is hauntingly familiar to anyone who followed the Harmony Montgomery case. Former FBI agent and expert witness Jennifer Coffindaffer returns to Break the Case to dissect every known detail of this developing investigation, from the last verified sightings to the eerie gaps that have law enforcement scrambling for answers. Coffindaffer recounts how the case began not with a frantic 911 call, but with a report from the Lompoc Unified School District after Melodee hadn’t attended school for months. The child’s father died in a motorcycle crash when she was only six months old, and her mother, Ashley, appeared to have spiraled since. A chilling interview with Melodee’s grandmother revealed a home in squalor, unfit for a child, and a family paralyzed by distance and dysfunction. By the time Child Protective Services intervened, it was already too late—Melodee had vanished. Law enforcement has released a crucial timeline. Melodee was last seen on October 7, 2025, at a California rental car agency, traveling with her mother, who reportedly planned a cross-country trip to Nebraska. Surveillance footage shows the child heavily clothed, possibly wearing a wig—a potential attempt to disguise her identity. As Coffindaffer points out, these details suggest intention, preparation, and deep secrecy. The FBI and Santa Barbara authorities have since executed search warrants, but so far, no confirmed trace of Melodee has been found. Through methodical breakdowns, Coffindaffer urges the public to share Melodee’s image widely, drawing parallels to how social media once led to the discovery of Gabby Petito. Every share, every view, could be the one that brings a missing child home—or finally reveals the truth about what happened to her. #MelodeeBuzzard #MissingChild #TrueCrime #JenniferCoffindaffer #BreakTheCase #FBIInvestigation #HarmonyMontgomery #CPSFailure #GabbyPetito #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Inside Diddy’s Prison Countdown: 921 Days Until He Walks Free
Sean “Diddy” Combs — the man who once ruled hip-hop, fashion, and nightlife — now faces a very different kind of countdown: 921 days until freedom. Federal Bureau of Prisons records confirm Diddy’s expected release date as May 8, 2028, following his 50-month sentence for charges of transportation to engage in prostitution. But the real story isn’t about a date — it’s about survival. In this Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski exclusive, we dive deep into what life behind bars really means for one of the most powerful figures in modern pop culture. What’s a day like for a man who once lived in penthouses and private jets, now forced to wake up at 5 a.m. for head count? What happens when a man used to commanding everyone suddenly has no control — not even over his own meals? Tony breaks down the stark reality of Diddy’s prison life — the monotony, the risk, the psychology — and explores the haunting list of famous figures who didn’t make it out alive. From Epstein to Bulger to Hernandez, history is full of men who thought they were untouchable… until the bars closed behind them. This is not the story of a comeback. It’s the story of a countdown. 👉 Subscribe for more Hidden Killers deep dives into the psychology, power, and downfall of the world’s most infamous figures. #Diddy #SeanCombs #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #DiddyPrison #TrueCrime #CelebrityJustice #FederalPrison #PrisonLife #BadBoy #Survive921Days Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger’s Secret Trial Plan: The Survivors He Planned to Call for His Defense
Before Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students, his defense team was quietly preparing a courtroom strategy that would have shocked the nation. According to newly unsealed court filings, Kohberger planned to call friends of the victims — and even the survivors themselves — as defense witnesses. Among them: Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke, the two young women who lived through that horrific night in November 2022. Also on the list were Emily Alandt, Hunter Johnson, and Kaylee Goncalves’ ex-boyfriend, Jack DeCoeur. Imagine it — the two surviving roommates, who lost four of their closest friends, being forced to testify for the man accused of killing them. That was the reality Kohberger’s defense was preparing for before he struck a plea deal in July 2025 to avoid the death penalty. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down what that trial might have looked like — and how Kohberger’s strategy reveals far more about his psychology than any confession ever could. Why would a killer want his survivors on the stand? What kinds of questions would they have faced? And what kind of manipulation drives someone to keep controlling people even after their arrest? This deep-dive dissects the legal and psychological layers of the case: from the 138 witnesses Kohberger planned to call, to the devastating emotional toll that trial would have inflicted on every surviving friend and family member. Because for Kohberger, control wasn’t just about life and death — it was about owning the story. And this time, he lost it. 🎧 Watch the full analysis now on Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski.

Chad Daybell’s “Ghost Letter”: Inside the Mind of a Murderous Prophet
In this chilling segment of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski reads and dissects Chad Daybell’s Letter #7 — a rambling, supernatural account written years before the doomsday murders that would make him infamous. In the letter, Daybell claims that while working as the sexton of a Utah cemetery, he was haunted by the ghost of a petty thief named Eddie — a spirit that supposedly opened gates, picked locks, and moved padlocks onto pegs. He writes that he eventually told Eddie to “go toward the light,” and that the disturbances stopped. Then the letter descends into something far darker. Daybell describes being electrically jolted and shoved by an unseen force while probing a “haunted grave.” He calls it a demonic attack and connects it to the same “evil legions” described in 19th-century LDS texts. To him, it wasn’t psychosis or imagination — it was confirmation of his divine purpose. From there, he recounts hearing a dozen disembodied voices outside his window shouting, “We hate your books!” and claims this was proof that Satan opposed his writing. For Chad, it all fit the narrative: he wasn’t an aspiring author with an obsession — he was a spiritual warrior under attack. That mindset — the blending of fantasy, religion, and grandiosity — would become the foundation of his later relationship with Lori Vallow, the “prophetess” who believed their murders were part of God’s plan. Tony breaks down how this letter foreshadowed everything that came next: The God complex behind Chad Daybell’s self-anointed mission. His habit of reframing delusion as divine validation. The chilling psychological progression from “I saw a ghost” to “I’m chosen to cleanse the world.” It’s one of the most haunting pieces of writing from any modern-day killer — not because of its ghost story, but because of the mind telling it. #ChadDaybell #LoriVallow #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #CultCrimes #PsychologyOfEvil #ReligiousDelusion #MurderMystery #TonyBrueski #PrisonLetters Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Wig, the Rental Car, and the Missing Child – Inside the Melodee Buzzard Investigation
Nine-year-old Melodee Buzzard vanished after a mysterious three-day road trip with her mother, Ashlee Buzzard, in early October 2025. Surveillance footage shows Melodee wearing a dark wig and hoodie at a California car-rental counter on October 7. Ashlee rented a white Chevy Malibu (plate CA 9MNG101), drove more than 1,500 miles to Nebraska, and returned alone on October 10. Four days later, on October 14, the Lompoc Unified School District reported the child’s prolonged absence. Deputies found Ashlee Buzzard at her home — but no Melodee. Officials say she has not provided a verifiable explanation and remains uncooperative. The FBI has joined the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, classifying Melodee as an “at-risk missing child.” In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, Tony examines the mounting evidence, the haunting disguise footage, and the public’s growing frustration that no arrest has been made. How can a mother drive across state lines with her child, return alone, and face no charges? Why hasn’t an AMBER Alert been issued? What does her silence tell investigators — and what does it hide? Join Tony for a raw, in-depth breakdown of a case that exposes the gaps in our missing-child system. Hear how the FBI is tracing license-plate readers, cell-site data, and rental-car GPS logs to piece together Melodee’s final known route. This story isn’t about custody disputes — it’s about accountability, and a little girl who deserves to be found. If you have information about Melodee Buzzard or Ashlee Buzzard’s travel between October 7 and 10, contact the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office (805-681-4150) or the FBI (1-800-CALL-FBI / tips.fbi.gov). #MelodeeBuzzard #MissingChild #AshleeBuzzard #FBI #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrime #Lompoc #SantaBarbara #AtRiskChild #Investigation 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
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?
