“Ethical Non-Monogamy”: The Pastor’s Lie That Ended in Murder
A pastor preaching virtue. A mistress promised “truth.” A wife who knew nothing. And a murder that ripped the mask off a so-called “ethical non-monogamy.” In 2019, Executive Pastor Brodes Perry of Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church was shot to death inside his Tennessee apartment by Latoshia Daniels, a woman who believed she was part of a consensual “open” relationship — one the pastor insisted his wife had approved. Except… she hadn’t. Now, years later, Daniels is on trial for first-degree murder and attempted murder of Perry’s wife Tabatha, who survived the attack and took the stand to tell a very different story. Jurors have seen videos of Perry himself describing “ethical non-monogamy” — claiming transparency, honesty, and divine understanding — while prosecutors say those same words expose the lies that fueled the killing. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down how a pastor’s moral branding turned into manipulation, how a so-called modern “ethic” became a weapon of deceit, and why this trial isn’t just about one shooting — it’s about the danger of self-righteous hypocrisy hiding behind the language of enlightenment. This is not about alternative lifestyles. This is about control, delusion, and the rot that grows when a man of God decides the rules no longer apply to him. 📺 Watch now and join the conversation — because some sermons end in salvation… and others end in a crime scene. #HiddenKillers #BrodesPerry #LatoshiaDaniels #TrueCrimePodcast #EthicalNonMonogamy #PastorMurder #CourtTV #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimeNews #MemphisCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

She Killed Their Mother—Now "The Perfect Neighbor” Threatens to Sue the Kids
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. From her prison cell, Lorincz penned a four-page handwritten letter threatening to sue Owens’s children and mother for defamation—accusing them of lying, trespassing, and “ruining her reputation.” In this episode of Hidden Killers, host Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels sit down with defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis to unpack the legal and moral insanity behind this letter. Could Lorincz actually file a lawsuit from prison? What’s her endgame—justice or control? And how does a system even allow a convicted killer to weaponize paperwork against the very family she destroyed? Eric Faddis breaks down the reality: why this “defamation threat” has no legal ground, how narcissism and denial often drive post-conviction behavior, and what reforms could stop offenders from re-victimizing families through civil filings. Tony and Eric go beyond the law—into the psychology of entitlement, the trauma inflicted on AJ Owens’s children, and the failure of a justice system that still lets a killer’s words reach the people she hurt most. 👉 Watch the full conversation for the legal truth, the human cost, and the moral bottom line of Susan Lorincz’s latest attempt to rewrite reality. 🕊️ AJ Owens’s family deserves peace—not another letter. #HiddenKillers #SusanLorincz #AjikeOwens #TrueCrimePodcast #EricFaddis #TonyBrueski #CourtTV #JusticeForAJ #FloridaCrime #PrisonLetter #VictimBlaming #TrueCrimeToday #LegalAnalysis #Manslaughter #Ocala #HiddenKillersLive Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Wendi Adelson’s Children: Exposing Donna’s Lifetime Of Damage
When a murder destroys a family, the world often focuses on the killers, the trials, and the endless courtroom drama. But in the case of Dan Markel and the Adelson family, the most important victims aren’t in prison or on TV — they’re two children quietly living in the wreckage. In this episode, Tony Brueski takes a deep dive into the psychological trauma faced by the children of Wendi Adelson and Dan Markel — the victims of a murder-for-hire plot that shattered two families and left the kids trapped between love and truth. Imagine growing up knowing your father was murdered — and the people accused of orchestrating it are your own family. Your grandmother, your uncle… now convicted. Your mother… testifying under immunity. And you, stuck in the middle — surrounded by people trying to convince you that what the world says is true… is actually a lie. This episode explores how children process trauma in these impossible circumstances: Loyalty conflicts — the psychological tug-of-war between love for caregivers and love for a lost parent. Protective dissonance — the brain’s survival mechanism that rewrites reality to preserve attachment. Ambiguous loss — mourning people who are still alive but emotionally gone. Identity trauma — how kids in these situations struggle to trust, attach, and build a sense of self. It’s not just grief — it’s fragmentation. And while the trials may be over, the emotional sentence for these kids has only begun. This isn’t about guilt or innocence anymore — it’s about the long-term scars of murder within a family, and what happens to the children who have to live in the echo. 🎧 Listen to Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski for full coverage of the Adelson case, expert interviews, and deep psychological insight into the real victims of true crime. #DanMarkel #WendiAdelson #AdelsonFamily #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #Trauma #ChildPsychology #FamilyMurder #Justice #TrueCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Justice on Trial: How Jesse Butler Turned 11 Felonies Into a Year of Freedom | Eric Faddis Breaks It Down
Eleven felony charges. Two teenage victims. One nearly strangled to death. And somehow—no prison time. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony, Stacy, and Todd to unpack how Stillwater, Oklahoma’s justice system transformed one of the state’s most brutal sexual-assault cases into a single year of “rehabilitation.” Eighteen-year-old Jesse Mack Butler was originally charged with rape, attempted rape, sexual battery, and assault and battery by strangulation after attacking two 16-year-old girls. Police recovered partial phone-video evidence of the assault; one victim required neck surgery after nearly dying. Because Butler was 17 at the time, his defense argued for Youthful Offender status. The court agreed. A potential 78-year sentence vanished, replaced with one year of supervision. Tony and Eric break down: How a no-contest plea erased accountability. Why prosecutors accepted leniency despite overwhelming evidence. The legal loopholes in Oklahoma’s Youthful Offender statute. Whether empathy or privilege decided the outcome. From both sides of the courtroom—prosecutor and defense—Eric Faddis explains how mercy became protection, how the law failed its victims, and what reforms could stop it from happening again. 🎧 Subscribe for new deep-dive true-crime analysis every week. 💬 Join the discussion: #HiddenKillers #JesseButler #EricFaddis #YouthfulOffender #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Judge Susan Worthington Let a Violent Child Predator Jesse Butler Walk… Time For Her To Face The Consequences
The people of Stillwater, Oklahoma, have had enough. Hundreds gathered outside the Payne County Courthouse demanding accountability after Judge Susan Worthington allowed a violent sexual predator to avoid prison. Eighteen-year-old Jesse Butler, charged with eleven felonies including rape, attempted rape, and strangulation, received no prison time under Oklahoma’s Youthful Offender Law. Despite partial video evidence and one victim requiring neck surgery, Judge Worthington ruled that Butler qualified for rehabilitation instead of incarceration. The potential 78-year sentence vanished, replaced by a single year of supervision, therapy, and a curfew. The decision ignited outrage across the state. Tribal victim services, survivors, parents, and students rallied together on the courthouse steps, chanting for justice and calling for Judge Worthington’s removal. State lawmakers labeled the ruling “unacceptable” and vowed to review how the system failed so catastrophically. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, Tony breaks down the story that’s shaken Stillwater to its core — how a judge’s compassion turned into negligence, how leniency for violent predators endangers every community, and why the public’s outrage might finally force real reform. We’ll examine the judicial system that let this happen, the decades-long ties that bind small-town power networks, and the growing call to close legal loopholes that allow violent offenders to hide behind “youthful offender” status. This isn’t about politics. It’s about safety. Because when the system starts protecting predators instead of people, it’s not justice anymore — it’s failure in a robe.

"Good Kid” Privilege: How the System Protected a Violent Teen | The Jesse Butler Case
Two 16-year-old girls were attacked. One was choked unconscious. One nearly died. The evidence was undeniable — partial phone video, medical proof, and multiple felony charges. Yet the court said: “He deserves another chance.” Why? Because he was a “good kid.” Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to explore the disturbing cultural conditioning that keeps excusing violent young men — and the devastating psychological toll that leniency takes on survivors. They dive deep into the psychology of denial, family image-protection, and the small-town empathy that shields offenders instead of victims. This isn’t a courtroom story — it’s a cultural mirror. #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #JesseButler #GoodKidNarrative #PsychologyOfDenial #TraumaRecovery #JusticeSystem #ShavaunScott #VictimAdvocacy #PatriarchalPrivilege Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When Justice Protects the Guilty: Jesse Butler Walks Free, Susan Lorincz Threatens Her Victims | Eric Faddis Breaks It Down
Two cases. Two very different crimes. One system that failed both sets of victims. In this Hidden Killers double feature, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels sit down with defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis to unpack two stories that expose the cracks in American justice — one soaked in leniency, the other in cruelty. First: Jesse Mack Butler. Eleven felony charges. Two teenage girls. One nearly strangled to death. Video evidence. Doctors saying seconds more and she’d be gone. Yet somehow, Stillwater, Oklahoma’s court system gave him a second chance — turning seventy-eight years of possible prison time into one year of supervision under the Youthful Offender statute. Eric and Tony dig into how the legal definition of “youth” became a shield for violence, how privilege masqueraded as compassion, and how prosecutors and judges rationalized a decision that left two survivors behind. Then: Susan Lorincz. The Florida woman convicted of shooting Ajike “AJ” Owens through a locked door — killing the mother of four in front of her children. From prison, Lorincz has now written a four-page letter threatening to sue Owens’s children and mother for defamation — accusing them of trespassing, lying, and “ruining her reputation.” Tony and Eric expose the psychological rot behind that letter — how denial becomes control, how narcissism replaces remorse, and how the legal system still lets killers weaponize paperwork against the families they destroyed. Two stories. Same disease. A justice system too soft on those who harm and too silent for those who suffer. 🎧 Watch both breakdowns in one powerful conversation — legal truth, human cost, and why real justice requires more than conviction. 💬 Join the discussion: #HiddenKillers #JesseButler #SusanLorincz #EricFaddis #TrueCrimePodcast #TonyBrueski #JusticeForAJ #YouthfulOffender #FloridaCrime #OklahomaJustice #CourtTV #VictimBlaming #TrueCrimeToday #LegalAnalysis #HiddenKillersLive Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
