Reckless or Murder? The Fraser Bohm Case Forces a Hard Question

The Gilgo Beach murders shocked the nation. The arrest of Rex Heuermann — the quiet Long Island architect accused of being a serial killer — was supposed to bring answers. Instead, it’s brought more questions. Two years later, there’s still no trial date. Why? Because behind the headlines, the justice system is waging a silent war. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into the real reasons justice has stalled. Prosecutors are relying on cutting-edge DNA pulled from rootless hairs — a first for New York courts. Defense attorneys call it “junk science.” The judge allowed it, but that ruling unleashed months of follow-up litigation: new motions, new hearings, new expert reports. Every microscopic detail is being challenged to make sure the case can survive appeal. Then there’s the consolidation — seven murders, one trial. That decision means every chain of custody, every test, every autopsy from 1993 to 2010 has to hold up together. Add old phone records, outdated forensics, and a DA’s office desperate to restore its credibility, and you get one of the most complicated homicide prosecutions in modern history. This isn’t justice delayed. It’s justice under construction — a slow, grinding fight between science, law, and time itself. Tony Brueski breaks down the psychology, the strategy, and the human toll of a case that refuses to move fast. Why is the state taking its time? What’s happening behind the scenes? And what happens if the science fails? Watch now to understand why the waiting matters. #RexHeuermann #GilgoBeach #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #DNAEvidence #JusticeDelayed #TonyBrueski #CrimePodcast #SerialKillerCase #ForensicScience Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before he killed Sonya Massey, Deputy Sean Grayson was already a walking liability — fired from department after department, discharged from the Army for misconduct, arrested for DUI, and still somehow cleared to wear a badge in Illinois. In this powerful conversation, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels and attorney Bob Motta expose how that happened — and why it keeps happening. From failed background checks to lax hiring standards, the system designed to protect the public instead recycles problem officers. The result: tragedy after tragedy. Grayson’s conviction for second-degree murder feels hollow when the larger machine that put him in that kitchen still runs unchecked. Tony and Bob unpack the loopholes, the union protections, and the culture of silence that let Grayson slip through every filter. They also explore Illinois’ new “Sonya’s Law,” the state’s attempt to patch the holes after it was too late — and whether any of it will stop the next preventable death. Hidden Killers — where we hold the system accountable, one case at a time. #SonyaMassey #SeanGrayson #PoliceReform #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #BobMotta #TrueCrime #JusticeForSonya #SystemicFailure #LawEnforcement #Accountability #Podcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

He called himself Mr. Crafty Pants — a cheerful, family-friendly DIY YouTuber whose tutorials reached hundreds of thousands of homes. Now, that same man, Michael David Booth, is facing felony charges in Kentucky for possession and distribution of illegal material involving minors. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we break down exactly what happened — from the first Kik CyberTip that triggered the investigation, to the digital forensics that traced the account back to Booth’s suburban Louisville home. We’ll examine the legal path forward: grand-jury proceedings, state vs. federal jurisdiction, and the serious penalties tied to KRS 531.335 and 531.340. We’ll also ask the bigger questions: Why do audiences trust online personas so easily? How does “family-friendly” branding disarm critical thinking? And what does this mean for the influencer world that thrives on parasocial trust? Booth has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent until proven otherwise. But the case itself exposes a hard truth about digital culture: we’ve built a system that rewards image over integrity — and when that image collapses, everyone who believed in it feels the impact. 🎙 Join Tony Brueski for a full deep dive into the Mr. Crafty Pants case — the investigation, the evidence, and the cultural fallout of a brand built on trust and undone by technology. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #MrCraftyPants #MichaelDavidBooth #TrueCrimeToday #LawAndCrime #InfluencerScandal #DigitalForensics #KentuckyCourt #CriminalCharges #YouTubeCreators #InternetSafety #TrueCrimePodcast #LegalAnalysis #BreakingCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
