Reckless or Murder? The Fraser Bohm Case Forces a Hard Question-WEEK IN REVIEW

In the noise, chaos, and courtroom spectacle of the Murdaugh murders, one voice was never fully heard — and it may be the one that changes how you see this case forever. Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson, the Murdaugh family’s longtime housekeeper, has now broken her silence in a memoir packed with the kind of details only someone inside that home could recognize. And one revelation stands above the rest: Blanca does not believe Alex acted alone. Tonight on Hidden Killers, we go deep into Blanca’s account — not the sanitized version from trial clips or headlines, but the raw observations she lived through the morning after Maggie and Paul were killed. She walks into Moselle expecting grief and chaos. Instead, she finds staging. She finds inconsistencies. She finds details so off-pattern that her instincts, built from fourteen years of working inside that home, start screaming that something else happened here — something larger than the state ever pursued. We explore every anomaly Blanca describes: Maggie’s SUV parked in a place she never parked. Pajamas and underwear laid out in a way Maggie would never prepare them. A kitchen “cleaned” in a way that didn’t match her routines. And later, the infamous Edisto beach towel Blanca had washed that morning — suddenly appearing in Alex’s Suburban on police body cam, then vanishing for good. Then there’s the chilling image she shares of an unfamiliar woman walking through the property after the funerals as if she owned the place. And perhaps most disturbing of all, the fact that Blanca says law enforcement never interviewed her — the one person who understood the difference between routine and staging. In Blanca’s eyes, the murders had one gunman, but the aftermath had more than one set of hands. If you think you already know this case, you need to hear this. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #Murdaugh #AlexMurdaugh #MaggieMurdaugh #PaulMurdaugh #TrueCrime #BlancaSimpson #Moselle #CrimeDocumentary Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Today, defense attorney Bob Motta and I take a hard look at one of the most troubling aspects of the Delphi murder investigation: the leads that were dismissed, minimized, or never meaningfully followed. The depositions show something the public has never had a clear window into — investigators explaining why certain suspects weren’t pursued, why certain statements didn’t matter, why symbolic elements of the crime scene were ignored, and why potentially exculpatory information was either downplayed or outright forgotten. In this conversation, Bob breaks down how two individuals tied to the Odinism angle — individuals whose behavior should have triggered deeper investigation — were inexplicably filed as “no further action.” One made a disturbing comment about whether his DNA would be found on the girls. The other posted imagery eerily similar to the crime scene and owned a .40-caliber handgun that was never seized or tested. These aren’t fringe details. These are red flags. Massive ones. Yet the investigative record treats them as footnotes. Bob and I go through why leads like these get dropped, how narrative lock affects decision-making, and what happens when the pressure to find “the right suspect” overshadows the obligation to explore every suspect. We cover the symbolic patterns on the girls’ bodies, the missing tree-origin analysis on the sticks, the late disclosure of the Odinism file, and the dissonance between what investigators told the public versus what they swore to in depositions. This isn’t speculation. It’s not theory. It’s the investigators themselves, under oath, explaining why critical evidence was set aside — and whether that decision is now going to haunt the state on appeal. If you want to understand the investigative blind spots in the Delphi case, this is the episode. #Delphi #RichardAllen #TrueCrimeAnalysis #IgnoredEvidence #LegalInsights #DelphiDepositions #CrimeSceneReview #JusticeSystem #HiddenKillers #InvestigativeFailures Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The story of Ana and Brian Walshe is not just another missing-person case. It’s a timeline filled with pressure, contradictions, and behavior that—when laid out piece by piece—paints an unsettling picture of a marriage heading toward a breaking point. And now, as Brian prepares to stand trial, prosecutors are preparing to bring every moment of that timeline into full view. In this episode of Hidden Killers, I walk through the complete chronology: the instability leading up to Ana’s disappearance, the imbalance in the relationship, the rising pressure from Brian’s ongoing legal issues, and the future Ana was working relentlessly to build. What emerges, at least in my opinion, is the portrait of a woman carrying far more than any one person should, and a man whose documented behavior only deepened that burden. We look at the allegations prosecutors have presented: the reported timeline inconsistencies, the searches investigators say were made in the days after Ana vanished, and the forensic findings authorities claim point to deliberate concealment. None of this has been proven in court, and Brian maintains his innocence. But taken together, these publicly reported details offer a window into what the jury is about to confront when this trial begins. This is not a straightforward case. There is no recovered body. There is no confirmed cause of death. And yet the timeline, behavior patterns, and surrounding circumstances raise questions that demand a deeper look. This episode is my commentary—my analysis—based on publicly available information and prosecutors’ filings. And as the trial approaches, that timeline may become one of the most powerful tools the state has. If you’ve been following this case, or if you want a comprehensive walkthrough of the events leading up to this moment, this is the breakdown you’ve been waiting for.

Some cases hit you in the gut, not because the details are complex, but because they’re painfully simple — and still, nothing happens. That’s the reality tonight as we look at the stories of Melodee Buzzard and Celeste Rivas Hernandez, two young girls caught in two different investigations that somehow keep producing the same baffling outcome: no real movement. Nine-year-old Melodee is missing. Her mother, Ashlee — the last adult with her — spent days traveling across state lines in disguises, swapping licenses, behaving erratically, and allegedly holding a man in her home while threatening him with a blade. Every red flag possible is waving, yet she’s free on an ankle monitor. No cooperation. No answers. No urgency from the bench. Fourteen-year-old Celeste was found in the frunk of a Tesla registered to musician D4vd — sealed inside a plastic bag, far into decomposition — and months later the medical examiner still can’t confirm cause or manner of death. No homicide charge. No negligence charge. Nothing but a misdemeanor for body concealment. And the silence around the investigation is deafening. Two different cities. Two different sets of facts. But the same disturbing theme: a system that acts confused at the exact moment when clarity is most needed. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down why these cases are stalling, why their outcomes remain so unclear, and why families and the public feel like they’re shouting into a void while the clock keeps ticking. If you’re watching these cases and wondering how either situation makes sense — you’re not alone.

The Jared Bridegan case has taken another sharp, chaotic turn — and it all comes down to the one person prosecutors absolutely need: the man who says he pulled the trigger. In today’s episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down the stunning courtroom moment when confessed shooter Henry Tenon suddenly claimed his own sworn statement was “false,” only to reverse himself the very next day. This is the kind of twist that doesn’t just make headlines — it reshapes the entire courtroom battlefield. Prosecutors say Tenon was the hired gun in what they describe as a carefully planned, staged ambush that ended the life of father of four, Jared Bridegan, in front of his toddler daughter in 2022. Investigators allege the plot was tied to a long-running custody and personal conflict involving Bridegan’s ex-wife, Shanna Gardner, and her then-husband, Mario Fernandez-Saldana — both awaiting trial and both maintaining their innocence. Tenon was supposed to be the state’s star witness, the insider who could walk a jury through how this plan formed and who was behind it. That’s why his sudden claim — that his sworn statement was untrue — sent shockwaves through the courtroom. But within twenty-four hours, Tenon told prosecutors the opposite: his original statement was correct, and he only tried to backtrack out of fear and regret about spending the rest of his life in prison. For the state, it’s a crisis they now have to manage. For the defense, it’s ammunition. And for Bridegan’s family, it’s another painful delay in a case that has already dragged on for years. We break down the shifting testimony, the legal fallout, the massive delays in the trial timeline, and the high-stakes credibility battle now at the center of this already-explosive murder-for-hire case. This is where true crime meets human psychology — and where the truth gets tested in front of twelve strangers.

What happened aboard the Carnival Horizon the morning 18-year-old Anna Kepner died is disturbing enough on its own. But when you look at the people in that cabin with her — and the long, complicated history surrounding this blended family — the picture becomes even more unsettling. In this episode, Tony Brueski takes you deep into the evolving investigation into the death of Florida teen Anna Kepner, whose body was discovered concealed under a bed, wrapped in a blanket, and partially covered by life vests. The FBI boarded the ship the moment it docked in Miami, and new filings now reveal one of Anna’s minor stepsiblings could face criminal charges. That revelation came directly from court documents filed by Anna’s stepmother, who has since invoked the Fifth Amendment to avoid testimony that could incriminate her or her child. This story reaches far beyond the cruise ship. It reaches into old family records, including a 2008 civil injunction for protection against sexual violence filed against Anna’s father — an injunction filed by a woman whose minor daughter he would later marry. That marriage became Anna’s second stepmother. Years later, a third marriage brought in the children who were on the cruise with her, including the teen now under FBI scrutiny. Only Anna’s grandmother and uncle are speaking out publicly, calling for answers and justice. Meanwhile, her father and stepmother remain nearly silent, offering no clarity, no timeline, and no emotional response aside from frustration with investigators. With the autopsy still pending, the FBI tight-lipped, and a cabin full of unanswered questions, this case has become one of the most complex and emotionally charged cruise-ship investigations in years. Today’s monologue breaks down everything we know — the facts, the filings, the timelines, the dynamics — and asks the question everyone else is afraid to say out loud: how does a family vacation turn into a federal investigation, and why was Anna left hidden under a bed? Stay tuned as we continue following every development in this heartbreaking case. #HiddenKillers #AnnaKepner #CarnivalCruise #TrueCrime #TonyBrueski #Investigation #FBI #Stepmother #Stepbrother #MaritimeCrime #CrimeNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Goncalves family has taken the next step — not criminal, but civil. They’ve filed claims against Washington State University, arguing the school ignored repeated red flags about Brian Kohberger before the murders in Moscow. And now the question becomes: Does the law agree? In this deep-dive episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski sits down with former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis to unpack the legal claims, the duty-of-care standards, the foreseeability argument, and the staggering list of complaints that WSU allegedly received long before the killings. Tony and Eric break down the core issues: • What duty does a university have when a graduate student — and teaching assistant — has multiple formal complaints?  • Do warnings like “He’s a predator in the making” create legal exposure?  • Do stalking-adjacent behaviors — blocking doorways, following students — meet the threshold for negligent supervision?  • Does the fact that the murders occurred off-campus, in another state, change the legal calculus?  • Could WSU actually be found liable for failing to remove or restrict him?  • Or will the university argue: “We couldn’t have seen this coming”?  • And is this lawsuit partly about discovery — forcing WSU to release internal emails, HR files, and Title IX records? Eric walks us through what plaintiffs need to prove, what defenses WSU will likely mount, and why this case could have massive implications for universities nationwide if a court allows it to move forward. This is one of the most legally significant developments to emerge from the Moscow murders — and it could reshape university policies around reporting, supervision, and risk. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #WSU #TrueCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
