Delphi Investigators’ Behavior Makes No Sense — Ret FBI Robin Dreeke Breaks It Down

Delphi Investigators’ Behavior Makes No Sense — Ret FBI Robin Dreeke Breaks It Down

In today’s episode, former FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, Robin Dreeke, joins me for a breakdown unlike anything you’ve heard about the Delphi case. Forget the sanitized, press-conference version of this investigation. Robin and I go deep into the human psychology behind the breakdown — the way investigators acted, reacted, remembered, forgot, contradicted each other, shut out certain leads, and emotionally locked onto others.

The depositions don’t just reveal evidence issues. They reveal behavioral issues. And Robin reads those better than anyone.

Why did two lead investigators swear under oath to completely opposite stories about the FBI’s involvement? How does a team forget or “not recall” something as significant as an early BAU ritual-indicator assessment? Why would symbolic elements at the crime scene be brushed aside? Why would red-flag behavior from potential suspects be minimized? Why were sticks left for days, evidence untested, witness statements reframed, and major investigative steps glossed over?

Robin walks us through the behavioral patterns that show up when an investigative system is overwhelmed — from narrative lock, to tunnel vision, to fear-based decision making, to the emotional need to force coherence onto an incoherent case. We discuss cognitive contamination, leadership collapse, internal factioning, memory distortion, and the psychological pressure that quietly reshapes how investigators interpret facts.

This episode isn’t about guilt or innocence. It’s about how the people behind the Delphi investigation functioned — and dysfunctioned. And why that matters.

If you want to understand why this investigation feels so fractured, and what the depositions really reveal about the team that built the case, Robin’s analysis is absolutely essential.

The Broken TV Alibi: Was Wendy Adelson Setting the Stage For Murder?

The Broken TV Alibi: Was Wendy Adelson Setting the Stage For Murder?

The Broken TV Alibi: Was Wendy Adelson Setting the Stage For Murder? It’s one of the strangest details in the Dan Markel case: a broken television that just happened to become part of Wendy Adelson’s alibi. In this segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, the team unpacks Jeff LaCasse’ testimony about visiting Wendy’s home, only to discover her TV was mysteriously shattered. At first glance, it might seem like a household accident — but the timing, the context, and the surrounding testimony suggest something far more sinister. Charlie Adelson’s dark joke that buying a TV was “cheaper than hiring a hitman” adds an eerie layer of foreshadowing. Add to that a Geek Squad repair appointment allegedly arranged by Donna Adelson, and the entire broken-TV narrative begins to look less like coincidence and more like stagecraft. Tony and the panel explore how small, seemingly random events can take on disturbing significance when placed under the microscope of a murder trial. Could this broken television have been part of a carefully manufactured alibi? Was it a way to distract investigators and provide cover at the exact time Dan Markel was gunned down? This segment offers an unsettling look at how far the Adelsons may have gone to cover their tracks.

Jeff LaCasse Testifies: Wendy Adelson’s Strange Behavior Before Murder

Jeff LaCasse Testifies: Wendy Adelson’s Strange Behavior Before Murder

Jeff LaCasse Testifies: Wendy Adelson’s Strange Behavior Before Murder When Jeff LaCasse stepped into the courtroom, his testimony peeled back a layer of Wendy Adelson’s world that had rarely been seen. In this segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, listeners hear how Jeff described Wendy’s constant distress, her fixation on custody battles, and her emotional volatility during the weeks before Dan Markel’s murder. The details are unsettling: sudden trip cancellations, meltdowns triggered by legal filings, and a persistent sense of dread that seemed to hang over Wendy’s every move. Tony and his co-hosts dissect this testimony carefully, connecting Wendy’s behavior to the broader timeline of the case. Was this simply the stress of a messy divorce, or were these signs of something darker brewing in the background? The conversation avoids sensationalism, instead focusing on what the testimony reveals about human behavior under pressure — and how the actions of one family, guided by resentment and control, created a powder keg waiting to explode. For those following the Markel case closely, this segment highlights how important small details can be in understanding the larger picture.

Wendy Adelson’s Divorce From Dan Markel: Secrets REVEALED!

Wendy Adelson’s Divorce From Dan Markel: Secrets REVEALED!

Wendy Adelson’s Divorce From Dan Markel: Secrets REVEALED! In this opening segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, the foundation of the Dan Markel murder case is laid bare. Before the shooting, before the arrests, before the shocking headlines, there was a bitter divorce — and in those filings, a story of manipulation, alienation, and escalating conflict begins to emerge. Tony breaks down the allegations Dan Markel leveled against Wendy Adelson during their divorce, exploring how these disputes over custody, communication, and money paint a picture of mounting tension between two very different visions of family life. The discussion also touches on how divorce itself often becomes a destructive force. Tony and his co-hosts reflect on the way emotions can spiral, how costly legal battles can take on lives of their own, and how bitterness can consume everyone involved. The Adelson case may be extreme, but its roots — the ugly side of family court — are painfully relatable for many listeners. With this backdrop set, the stage is prepared for the testimony of Wendy’s ex-boyfriend, Jeff Lacasse, whose perspective adds a deeply personal layer to the unraveling of the Adelson family’s secrets. This first segment is both context and cautionary tale: when divorce becomes a weapon, lives can be destroyed long before a crime is ever committed.
