It wasn’t just Donna Adelson who broke down at sentencing—it was her husband Harvey, too. And in their back-to-back emotional outbursts, we witnessed the unraveling of an entire family narrative that had held for over a decade.

In this joint psychological breakdown, Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole are joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to dissect the most emotionally charged—and revealing—moments of both Donna and Ha...

    The death of Ellen Greenberg has haunted Philadelphia for over a decade—but now, a new 2025 “independent” review by the same Medical Examiner’s Office that once ruled her death a homicide, then reversed itself, has reignited public outrage.

    In this episode, we break down the new 32-page report by Dr. Lindsay Simon—billed as a “fresh look”—and expose just how deeply embedded bias and institutional self-preservation app...

    Harvey Adelson hasn’t been charged. But he’s far from forgotten.

    In this episode, we walk the razor’s edge of what the evidence actually says about Harvey Adelson—the patriarch of a family fractured by murder, scandal, and courtroom spectacle. From wiretaps and Zelle subpoenas to call-detail records and coded texts, we examine the mounting circumstantial web that places Harvey near the center of a conspiracy that has ...

    If the system’s goal was to quiet the Ellen Greenberg case with one last official ruling — it failed. Badly.

    The 2025 report from Philadelphia’s Medical Examiner, reclassifying nothing and explaining even less, is now being dissected by the people who understand just how dangerous this kind of language can be.

    In this episode, defense attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole to pull the curtain ba...

    Why did Bryan Kohberger suddenly plead guilty after nearly two years of pretrial warfare? The answer might be more personal—and more psychological—than legal.

    In this breakdown, we explore how the revelation that Kohberger’s sister, Amanda, was on the prosecution’s witness list may have triggered a collapse in his carefully controlled defense. For a man driven by dominance, image, and manipulation, the prospect of fam...

    They kill.

    Then they smile for cameras, clock in for work, or go grocery shopping.

    In this chilling Hidden Killers investigation, we explore “The Performance of Normal” — the haunting calm that follows murder. Starting with Bryan Kohberger, who prosecutors say was seen casually shopping hours after the brutal Idaho student murders, we dive deep into the psychology behind that eerie stillness.

    Why do ...

    Two headlines. Two high-profile cases. One unfiltered breakdown.

    In this powerful double-segment, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to examine two of the most complex and closely watched stories in true crime right now: the federal sentencing of Sean “Diddy” Combs, and the unsolved death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas-Hernandez, found deceased in the front trunk of a Tesla linked to musi...

    When a decomposing body was found in the front trunk of a Tesla linked to indie musician D4vd, it shattered the silence around a missing person case that had gone largely ignored. The body was that of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, reported missing in 2024. But it wasn’t law enforcement who made the next big move—it was the owner of the Hollywood Hills home D4vd had rented. He hired a private investigator.

    Patricia Krenwinkel—once Manson’s obedient soldier, now 77 years old—is once again seeking freedom. And once again, California said no. Governor Gavin Newsom reversed her parole for the second time, citing her shallow insight into the brutal murders she committed in 1969.

    In this piece, we dig into the real reason Krenwinkel remains behind bars. It’s not about her age or her behavior in prison. It’s about accountabili...

    Convicted of masterminding the murder of her former son-in-law Dan Markel, Donna Adelson is now fighting for her life — again. Her motion for a new trial has been denied, and her defense team is preparing to appeal the 2025 verdict that sent the 75-year-old matriarch to Florida’s state prison for life.

    But what does an appeal like this really look like? Can it work — or is this just a ritual step on the road to nowher...

    After receiving a four-year prison sentence in October 2025, Sean “Diddy” Combs now faces an even more devastating blow: the loss of control. A federal forfeiture order has handed over every piece of digital media tied to his sex trafficking conviction to the FBI—tapes, hard drives, phones, and cameras. What once served as private leverage has now become state-owned evidence.

    In this breakdown, we dig deep into what c...

    More than 14 years after Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment, the controversy has only grown louder. This year, Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Lindsay Simon re-affirmed the 2011 ruling of suicide — despite twenty stab wounds, including injuries to the back of the neck and skull. But the original pathologist, Dr. Marlon Osbourne, has now recanted his own finding, publicly declaring that he no longer believe...

    Before the families could speak, Hollywood did. In a stunning October 2025 announcement, Lifetime confirmed that actor Miles Merry will play Bryan Kohberger in an upcoming dramatization of the Idaho student murders. The film, part of the network’s long-running “Ripped From the Headlines” series, is already deep in pre-production — casting finalized, production crew set, and a release date likely locked. But the families of the...

    Two cases. Two women. Two very different ends of the justice system — and both asking the same question: how does this happen?

    In Philadelphia, Ellen Greenberg was found dead with twenty stab wounds, yet her death is still officially classified as a suicide. In Florida, Donna Adelson sits in a state prison for orchestrating her former son-in-law’s murder, preparing to appeal a conviction that rocked her family to its ...

    They were once the most infamous brothers in America—then, almost forgotten. But in 2025, Lyle and Erik Menendez got a shot at parole for the first time in over three decades. The hearings were long. Emotional. Raw. And ultimately—for both—denied.

    In this detailed breakdown, we walk through why that door to freedom slammed shut again. From their extensive prison disciplinary records to the parole board’s searing obser...

    The death of Celeste Rivas, a missing 15-year-old girl found in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to music artist d4vd, has ignited a storm of speculation—and misinformation. But what do we actually know? What’s been confirmed by law enforcement? And what’s been dangerously fabricated?

    In this deep dive, we untangle the viral myths from the verified facts. No, she wasn’t dismembered. No, pregnancy was not listed o...

    Donna Adelson didn’t beg for mercy at sentencing—she grabbed the mic and tried to rewrite history.

    In this raw, emotionally fractured courtroom speech, Donna portrayed herself not as a conspirator—but as a victim. “There are two crimes,” she declared. “The second is taking my life.” Her voice cracked, her story crumbled, and what we witnessed was more than denial—it was psychological collapse playing out live.

    Hulu’s Murdaugh: Death in the Family promised a gripping retelling of the Lowcountry’s most disturbing crime saga—and it delivered drama. But how much of it is grounded in the ugly, sprawling truth? In this episode, we compare the streaming series to the real events behind Alex Murdaugh’s meteoric fall—from murder and financial fraud to the implosion of a legal dynasty that ruled South Carolina for nearly a century.
