Our week in review examines the Brendan Banfield case — where digital forensics contradicted the prosecution's theory and two investigators were moved off the case.
On February 24, 2023, Christine Banfield — a 37-year-old pediatric ICU nurse — was stabbed to death in her Herndon, Virginia home. Found beside her was Joseph Ryan, a 39-year-old stranger shot twice by two different guns. The initial story was self-defense against ...
Our week in review on the D4VD investigation — FBI analysis of the physical evidence, the grand jury proceedings, and what prosecutors appear to be building.
Inside the Hollywood Hills rental where D4VD was living, investigators found a chainsaw still in its protective sheath and a burn cage incinerator capable of 1,600 degrees — boxed, never opened. Fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez's dismembered body was discovered i...
Our week in review on the Nick Reiner case — the insanity defense mechanics, the family's impossible situation, and a mental health system that failed everyone.
Nick Reiner faces two counts of first-degree murder for stabbing his parents Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner to death. The defense strategy has been clear from the start: mental health. Sources confirm Nick was diagnosed with schizophrenia years ago and his medica...
Our week in review takes on the Sarah Grace Patrick case — a story where the prosecution's public evidence doesn't match the promises.
Seventeen-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick goes to trial January 5th, charged with murdering her mother Kristin Brock and stepfather James Brock while they slept. Her five-year-old sister found the bodies. For five months after the killings, Sarah posted crying TikToks, reached out to true crime cr...
This week on Hidden Killers, we took a hard look at the Charity Beallis case — and what we found doesn't fit the narrative national media rushed to print.
On December 3rd, 2025, Charity Beallis and her six-year-old twins Eliana and Maverick were found dead from gunshot wounds in their Bonanza, Arkansas home. One day earlier, she'd lost a custody battle to Dr. Randall Beallis — the husband she accused of strangling her. No arre...
Nick Reiner is broke. Unemployed. Sitting in jail charged with double murder. His parents — Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner — left behind an estate worth $200 million. And under California law, there may be a way he could still get his hands on it.
Wait, what?
The slayer statute is supposed to prevent killers from inheriting from their victims. But it only applies to "felonious and intentional" killings. What happens if Ni...
Attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down two of the most chaotic murder cases in the country right now — and explains why both are falling apart before they even reach trial.
Nick Reiner's high-profile defense attorney Alan Jackson just walked off the case after three weeks, citing circumstances "beyond Nick's control." But before he left, he made a stunning statement to reporters: "Pursuant to the laws of Califo...
Hidden Killers Podcast concludes its interview series with former FBI special agent Robin Dreeke by examining the hardest question in the Charity Beallis case: What do investigators do when both parties have documented histories of alleged violence?
This isn't a simple case. The documented record shows allegations against both adults — not just one.
Randall Beallis pled guilty to third-degree battery. Charity publicly claimed s...
The Mickey Stines case just got a whole lot more complicated — and we brought in defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis to make sense of it.
The defense has filed a motion to recuse Special Judge Christopher Cohron after discovering video footage showing him seated next to Judge Kevin Mullins at a Kentucky Judicial Commission on Mental Health meeting, seven days before Mullins was shot to death in his Letcher Count...
Alan Jackson spent three weeks investigating the Nick Reiner case. Every waking hour, he said. Ten subpoenas issued and sealed. And then he quit — but not before telling reporters that Nick Reiner is "NOT guilty of murder under California law."
That's not how attorneys typically leave cases. That's a roadmap. And now someone else has to follow it.
This episode breaks down what Jackson's statement actually means and why the path...
Alan Jackson's final words as Nick Reiner's attorney weren't a goodbye — they were a legal prediction: "Nick Reiner is NOT guilty of murder under California law."
He's signaling an insanity defense. And that defense just became someone else's problem.
Nick Reiner was allegedly being treated for schizophrenia at the time he killed his parents, director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. Sources tell NBC4 about the schizophren...
The prosecution's case took a devastating hit Thursday. Judge Sid Harle struck Stephanie Hale's entire testimony from the record in the Adrian Gonzales trial. The jury has been instructed to disregard everything the former Robb Elementary teacher said — including her account of seeing the gunman on the south side of campus and her testimony about children arming themselves with safety scissors.
Hale returned to the stand Thurs...
Alan Jackson walked into court as Nick Reiner's defense attorney. He walked out as his former attorney — telling reporters he had "no choice" but to withdraw due to circumstances "beyond Nick's control." Then he made a stunning declaration: "Pursuant to the laws of California, Nick Reiner is NOT guilty of murder. Print that."
Three weeks. That's how long Jackson's team investigated the case — working "every waking hour," issui...
Nick Reiner is charged with murdering his parents Rob and Michele Reiner. But this tragedy didn’t begin on December 14th. For seventeen years, a family that loved their son desperately tried everything to save him — and a system failed them at every turn.
Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Hidden Killers for an in-depth examination of the Nick Reiner case. This is not a story about bad parenting. This is a story about a famil...
Hidden Killers Podcast continues its coverage of the Charity Beallis case with former FBI special agent Robin Dreeke, who analyzes what law enforcement's documented actions tell us about this investigation.
It's been over a month. Three people dead from gunshot wounds. No arrest. No named suspect. No official cause of death. But the Sebastian County Sheriff's Office has executed twelve search warrants, brought in federal agenc...
Three weeks ago, Nick Reiner had the best criminal defense money could buy. Alan Jackson — the attorney who got Karen Read acquitted, who represented Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey — was building what looked like an insanity defense backed by a two-hundred-million-dollar estate.
Today, Jackson told a Los Angeles judge he had "no choice" but to withdraw. Nick Reiner now has a public defender named Kimberly Greene. She was in...
Stephanie Hale, a teacher at Robb Elementary, testified today in the Adrian Gonzales trial. Gonzales is charged with 29 felony counts of child endangerment for his response to the 2022 Robb Elementary shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
Gonzales was the first officer on scene. Prosecutors say he knew the shooter’s location and failed to act. The defense argues he responded to a chaotic situation and did what ...
Sources say the Reiner family had been scared of Nick for years. That he had violent outbursts. That Michele told a friend, "I don't know what else we can do." That his behavior was aggressive enough to require private yoga sessions as a child because he was too disruptive for groups.
They knew something was wrong. They sensed danger. And they stayed.
Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Hidden Killers to examine the psychology ...
A video that nobody knew existed has thrown the Mickey Stines murder case into chaos. According to a defense motion filed December 29th, Special Judge Christopher Cohron was captured on video sitting next to Judge Kevin Mullins — the man Stines is accused of killing — at a mental health commission meeting just one week before the shooting. Mullins' widow was reportedly in the room. Cohron allegedly never disclosed any of this...
Nick Reiner started using drugs at fifteen. By sixteen, he was in his first rehab. By twenty-two, he'd been through eighteen treatment programs. The focus was always addiction. Heroin. Meth. Cocaine. The revolving door of substance abuse treatment.
But according to reports, Nick had schizophrenia. A serious psychotic disorder that was reportedly diagnosed years before the killings — but after years of being treated for the wro...
