Teen, Anna Kepner Found Dead on Carnival Cruise — New Details Raise Serious Questions-WEEK IN REVIEW
An 18-year-old girl goes on a family cruise and never comes home. That alone is heartbreaking. But when the details start to surface — when the reporting suggests she wasn’t simply found in her bed, but under it… wrapped… covered… hidden — the silence from authorities becomes its own kind of story. In today’s episode, we take a deep, fact-driven look at the death of Anna Kepner, the bright Florida high-school senior whose life ended aboard the Carnival Horizon in circumstances that are anything but ordinary. This isn’t speculation. This is the complete picture of what’s publicly known right now — the timeline, the evidence investigators already have, the procedures that should be happening immediately, and why these first days matter more than anyone wants to admit. Anna wasn’t the typical cruise fatality. She wasn’t elderly. She wasn’t ill. She wasn’t alone. She was a teenager with her family, with plans, with a future. And when cases like this happen at sea, history tells us something important: if you don’t get answers early, you may never get them at all. We break down why maritime investigations are so vulnerable, why evidence evaporates fast, and how cases like George Smith, Amy Lynn Bradley, and Rebecca Coriam show what happens when the early hours are lost. We look at what investigators already know — from keycard logs to hallway cameras to autopsy findings — and why that information matters right now, while the facts are still fresh. This is not about sensationalism. It’s about urgency. It’s about accountability. It’s about making sure Anna’s story doesn’t get added to the long list of “unsolved at sea” headlines we revisit ten years from now. It’s about insisting that the truth is worth fighting for — now, while it’s still within reach. #HiddenKillers #CarnivalCruise #AnnaKepner #CruiseDeath #TrueCrime #TonyBrueski #Investigation #FBI #CrimeAtSea #MaritimeLaw Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

New Kohberger Lawsuit Blows Open New Questions - Did WSU IGNORE RED FLAGS?-WEEK IN REVIEW
Tonight on Hidden Killers, we’re diving into the lawsuit that could finally crack open the one part of the Bryan Kohberger story that’s been sealed tight: what Washington State University actually knew about his behavior before the Idaho killings — and what they did or didn’t do with it. The Goncalves family has officially taken the first major step toward suing WSU, and the claims are explosive. They’re arguing that the university wasn’t just a backdrop in Kohberger’s life — it was an institution with warnings stacking up in its hallways, complaints piling on desks, and a growing chorus of women saying the same thing: this man made them feel unsafe. We now know multiple WSU faculty and graduate students reported Kohberger for intimidating conduct, blocking doorways, staring silently at women, hovering over desks, following people to their cars, and violating boundaries over and over. Some were so scared they asked for escorts at the end of the day. Others filed formal discrimination and harassment complaints. One professor even told colleagues she feared he’d go on to harm students someday. And still — he remained in the program. Still teaching. Still representing the university. Still in university housing. Still collecting a paycheck. The lawsuit argues that WSU had enough information to intervene long before Kohberger ever crossed into Idaho. Not because anyone predicted the crime — but because institutions have a duty to respond to patterns of harassment, intimidation, and escalating hostility. The families want answers, and they want every internal document: every HR complaint, every faculty meeting, every email where someone said, “Something is wrong with this guy.” This case could reshape how universities handle red-flag students and employees. It could expose just how close institutions sometimes get to danger without ever stepping in. And it could finally tell these families whether the system that surrounded Kohberger ever tried to stop what so many people felt happening right in front of them. Join me as we break down what this lawsuit means, what the families are fighting for, and why the truth matters now more than ever. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #WSU #KohbergerCase #TrueCrime #IdahoCase #KayleeGoncalves #MoscowMurders #JusticeForTheVictims #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two Cases Just Shifted — Brian Walshe’s Plea Flip & WSU Under Kohberger Fallout Fire
Two major true-crime cases just took sharp, unexpected turns — one in the courtroom, one in the civil arena. First, Brian Walshe blindsided the court by pleading guilty to disposing of Ana Walshe’s remains and misleading investigators — but still maintaining he didn’t kill her. It’s a move that redefines the entire murder trial and forces huge strategic shifts for both sides. Then, across the country, Washington State University is facing legal heat. The Goncalves family has filed a civil claim arguing WSU ignored repeated warnings about Brian Kohberger before the Moscow murders. More than a dozen complaints. A professor calling him a future predator. Students saying they felt trapped and unsafe. The question now is simple: Does the law say the university should have done more? On today’s episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski sits down with legal analyst Eric Faddis to break down both cases: • Why did Walshe plead guilty to these charges but not murder? • Does this strengthen the prosecution’s theory — or hand the defense a new angle? • What does the jury hear now, and how will it shape perception? • And in the WSU civil case — what duty does a university owe? • What evidence matters most? • Does foreseeability apply when the crime occurred off-campus at another school? • And is the real goal here discovery — forcing WSU’s internal files out into the light? Two cases. Two seismic shifts. One conversation that lays out the stakes, the law, and the fallout. #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #BrianWalshe #BryanKohberger #WSU Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

New Criminal Charges Coming For Diddy After 2020 Assault Allegations Surface?-WEEK IN REVIEW
Sean “Diddy” Combs is already sitting in federal custody, already facing civil lawsuits, already under investigation for trafficking-related conduct — but now the entire landscape has shifted again. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has officially confirmed that they are investigating a new sexual assault allegation tied to an incident reported to have occurred in 2020. And this one? It’s not decades old. It’s not lost to history. It lives in the digital era, where timelines can be cross-checked, data can be recovered, and investigators can build a picture of the truth in ways that simply weren’t possible twenty years ago. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down exactly what this new allegation means — not in the sensationalized, rumor-driven way the internet churns out quickly, but in a grounded, fact-based, emotionally clear look at what happens when a complaint like this enters a system already in motion. What does it mean when LASD publicly says they’re investigating? Why does the 2020 date matter so much? And how does this fit into the wider legal environment surrounding Combs, including federal raids, seized electronics, and a growing number of civil claims? This is not about assuming guilt. This is about understanding why this one report carries so much weight, why survivors come forward when power starts to crack, and how accountability works when someone who has spent decades insulated by money, fame, and influence suddenly finds themselves answering to the same system everyone else does. We’re looking at this moment from all angles: the psychology, the legal implications, and the reality of what happens next if investigators find even a shred of corroboration. Because when a case enters a jurisdiction like Los Angeles — a jurisdiction not intimidated by celebrity — the rules change. This story isn’t finished. But today, it took a very significant turn. #HiddenKillers #DiddyInvestigation #SeanCombsCase #TrueCrimeNews #LegalAnalysis #LASD #BreakingCrimeStories #SurvivorVoices #JusticeSystem #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Epstein Files Fallout Explored With Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott-WEEK IN REVIEW
When the Epstein files go public, the biggest shock won’t be a single name — it will be the realization of how many institutions failed, looked away, or quietly enabled a predator to operate at the highest levels of society. And once that truth lands, America is going to feel something profound: institutional betrayal. In this riveting one-hour discussion, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dig into the psychology of what happens when the public discovers that the systems they trusted were protecting someone like Jeffrey Epstein. Governments. Universities. Financial institutions. Social circles. Even media figures. When the public sees how interconnected it all was, trust fractures — sometimes permanently. Shavaun explains why institutional betrayal wounds deeper than individual harm, why people struggle to process wrongdoing by powerful figures, and why this release may cause a destabilizing but necessary shift in how Americans view power, authority, and accountability. We explore the psychological whiplash of discovering that “the system worked” was a myth. Why people defend public figures out of identity rather than fact. And why denial becomes a survival mechanism when the truth feels too big to accept. Most importantly, we examine what healing could look like — how truth, even painful truth, can be the beginning of a more honest national conversation about abuse, complicity, and institutional decay. This interview isn’t about politics. It’s about psychology. And it’s about what happens when a country finally sees what was in the dark. #HiddenKillers #EpsteinFiles #InstitutionalBetrayal #ShavaunScott #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimeAnalysis #PowerAndAbuse #Psychology #NationalTrauma #MentalHealth Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Inside Donna Adelson’s Mind: How She Justified the Murder Of Dan Markel-WEEK IN REVIEW
How does a grandmother, a former schoolteacher, a woman who spent decades projecting the image of a devoted matriarch, end up at the center of one of the most disturbing family-driven crimes in recent memory? Tonight, we go deep into the psychology behind the Donna Adelson case — not to excuse her actions, but to finally understand the mental scaffolding that allowed her to justify something most people couldn’t even imagine doing. In this episode of Hidden Killers, we break down the narcissistic mindset that shaped Donna’s worldview for decades. We explore the internal story she built, one where her needs were moral law, her fears were prophecy, and her opinions were reality. This is the story of a woman who saw herself not as the architect of destruction, but as the protector of her family — even as every step she took brought that same family closer to ruin. We examine how Donna reframed boundaries as attacks, how she turned conflict into persecution, and how she slowly recast Dan Markel not as a human being but as an obstacle. Through that lens, her choices began to feel “reasonable” — even righteous — inside the distorted logic of a narcissistic mind determined to stay in control at any cost. This episode takes you inside that psychological maze. We expose how self-deception becomes a shield, how entitlement becomes a compass, and how emotional convenience becomes a moral code. Most importantly, we show how a person can move step-by-step from resentment to rationalization to catastrophe — without ever believing they crossed a line. If you’ve ever wondered how someone justifies something so destructive… this is the breakdown you’ve been waiting for. Stay with us. It’s uncomfortable. It’s unsettling. But it explains the world Donna Adelson built — and why it collapsed. #HiddenKillers #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkelCase #TrueCrimeAnalysis #PsychologyBreakdown #CriminalMindset #FamilyCrime #JusticeSystem #NarcissisticAbuse #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Delphi’s Ignored Leads — Why Investigators Dropped the Red Flags-WEEK IN REVIEW
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?
