Did Luigi Mangione Want To Get Caught, Or Was He Just Dumb?

December 9, 2025 • 13 mins
He kills a man on a NYC sidewalk — then sits at McDonald’s for 40 minutes while law enforcement hunts him. He gives his real name without fight, never touches the gun, then talks endlessly in custody. What kind of killer behaves like that?

In Part 2, former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins to interpret the odd psychology and what it might mean for the future of the case.

Luigi Mangione Wet Himself During McDonalds Arrest, Here's The Photo Proof!

December 9, 2025 • 18 mins
The suppression hearing for Luigi Mangione took a turn when prosecutors introduced a photo taken moments after his arrest — a photo showing Mangione had urinated on himself inside the Altoona McDonald's. It’s an image that stops you cold. Not because of shock value, but because of what it reveals about the moment the most-wanted man in America realized the chase was over.

FBI Behavioral Expert's Complete Breakdown of the Brian Walshe Case | Full Interview

December 8, 2025 • 57 mins
Brian Walshe is on trial right now for murdering and dismembering his wife Ana. Her body has never been found. He's already pleaded guilty to disposing of her remains and lying to police—but he says he didn't kill her. His defense: he woke up, found her dead from some unexplained medical event, and panicked.

The Cover-Up That Wasn't: FBI Expert Analyzes Brian Walshe's Fatal Mistakes

December 8, 2025 • 16 mins
Whatever happened to Ana Walshe in the early hours of January 1, 2023, her husband left a trail. Starting at 4:55 a.m., he searched "how long before a body starts to smell." Over the next 72 hours: "hacksaw best tool to dismember," "can you be charged with murder without a body," "how to clean blood from wooden floor." He went to Home Depot in surgical gloves and a mask, paying cash for tarps, mops, a hatchet, and baking soda....

Inside the Walshe Marriage: FBI Profiler on Trust, Betrayal & What Predicts Violence

December 8, 2025 • 18 mins
From the outside, the Walshes had it together. Three kids, a house in upscale Cohasset, a townhome in D.C., and Ana rising through commercial real estate. But the structure was fractured in ways that matter. Ana was months into an affair. Brian was under federal home confinement for art fraud, unable to travel, serving as primary caregiver while his wife built a separate life 400 miles away. She was the breadwinner. He was stu...

FBI Behavioral Expert Breaks Down Brian Walshe's Police Interviews | The Art of Lying

December 8, 2025 • 22 mins
Brian Walshe sat across from detectives and told them everything was fine. Happy marriage. No affair. No idea where his wife went. He said he'd "never do anything to hurt" Ana. What investigators didn't tell him right away was that they'd already pulled his search history—queries like "how long before a body starts to smell" and "can you be charged with murder without a body."

Brian Walshe Trial: The Evidence vs. The Story — What Will Jurors Believe?-WEEK IN REVIEW

December 6, 2025 • 53 mins
The trial of Brian Walshe is exposing a divide that runs straight through the center of the courtroom — a divide between a prosecution building its case with timestamps, metadata, and DNA, and a defense leaning into emotional possibility and human frailty. It’s not just a legal battle. It’s a narrative war.

Prosecutors say the evidence speaks for itself: searches about body disposal in the early morning hours, trips t...

Tonight on Hidden Killers, we’re looking at two cases that have stunned the public with their contradictions, inconsistencies, and lack of action from the justice system.

In the Buzzard case, witness Tyler Brewer describes a home filled with paranoia: shifting stories about handing Melodee to strangers at a zoo, deleted accounts, talk of fake plates, accusations of undercover cops — and a pillow dressed in Melodee’s c...

The Michael Proctor Problem — Will the Karen Read Scandal Could Impact Walshe Trial

December 5, 2025 • 15 mins
The Brian Walshe murder trial isn't just about the evidence — it's about the dynamics surrounding the case that could influence how this jury sees everything. And there are some significant wildcards in play that most people aren't talking about.

His Google Searches Started at 4:52 AM — "Best Way to Dispose of a Body" | Brian Walshe Trial

December 5, 2025 • 12 mins
Prosecutors in the Brian Walshe murder trial are trying to prove first-degree murder without a body, without a murder weapon, and without a definitive cause of death. Ana Walshe has never been found. What the Commonwealth does have is a digital trail that reads like a step-by-step guide to getting away with murder — and a defendant who stood to collect $2.7 million in life insurance if his wife died.

December 4, 2025 • 24 mins

Did Brian Walshe Panic — or Plan? The Trial Takes a Dark Turn

December 3, 2025 • 32 mins
The question dominating the Brian Walshe trial isn’t simply what happened — it’s whether the behavior on record looks like panic, planning, or something far more calculated. Prosecutors have presented a forensic roadmap: digital breadcrumbs, timestamped searches about dismemberment and body disposal, trips across multiple towns to buy cutting tools and protective gear, and DNA recovered from a commercial trash site miles away....

The trial of Brian Walshe isn’t just a courtroom proceeding — it’s a showdown between two narratives that couldn’t be further apart. On one side, prosecutors have built the kind of timeline you rarely see outside a forensic textbook: predawn Google searches that read like a step-by-step guide to covering up a crime, store receipts for cutting tools and chemicals, cell phone data tracing every mile driven, and DNA pulled from a...
