Nine years old. That’s how old Melodee Buzzard is—or was, the last time anyone outside her mother’s orbit saw her. Nine years old, small for her age, brown eyes, brown hair, a kid who should have been in a classroom somewhere in Lompoc, California, learning multiplication tables and begging to go to the school book fair. Instead, she’s gone. Vanished into a fog of silence and half-answers that sound less like confusion and mor...

Before Donna Adelson was a headline — before the mugshots, the trials, the whispers about murder-for-hire — she was a woman built for control.

In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we trace how Donna Adelson became Donna Adelson — from her 1950s New York upbringing to the mindset that would one day define her downfall.

What happens when an entire generation is raised to believe obedience equals...

In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels take listeners inside a letter that shocked everyone who followed the Dan Markel murder case — a 2024 note written by convicted killer Donna Adelson from her jail cell.

It begins with a mother’s lament — the pain of missing her grandsons’ first day of school — but quickly morphs into something darker.

“If I don’t get out, then...

In a quiet Virginia suburb, what looked like a perfect family hid something unthinkable.
When police walked into the Banfield home in Herndon, they found 37-year-old nurse Christine Banfield stabbed to death and 39-year-old Joseph Ryan shot in the head. Her husband, former IRS agent Brendan Banfield, claimed it was self-defense — that Ryan had broken in and attacked his wife.

But investigators soon discovered the ...

In this full episode of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels take you inside the minds of two of America’s most notorious convicted murderers — Donna Adelson and Chad Daybell — through the words they wrote themselves.

Segment 1: Donna Adelson’s Prison Letter
 From a Florida jail cell, Donna Adelson wrote a 2024 letter to her husband Harvey describing how her heart “breaks” over missing ...

For more than twenty years, the name Scott Peterson has been synonymous with guilt.
A husband who smiled on camera, a pregnant wife who vanished on Christmas Eve, and a nation that decided — almost instantly — that he was the killer.

But now, the Los Angeles Innocence Project has filed a 2,600-page petition that could force the courts — and the public — to look again.

Their filing doesn’t claim Scott Pete...

Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly woke up in his Brooklyn prison cell with a knife pressed against his throat. According to a close friend, it was a warning — a scare that could’ve ended with blood on the floor.

But here’s the question that needs to be asked: why is this the story everyone’s talking about? Because if even half of what’s been alleged about Diddy is true, then the real horror didn’t start behind bars. It sta...

Power protects itself.
That’s the unspoken rule inside elite institutions — and it’s what former FBI agent Robin Dreeke and Tony Brueski expose in this gripping episode of Hidden Killers.

From Jeffrey Epstein’s library of blackmail tapes to the Department of Justice’s locked files, the evidence is there — and yet, nothing happens. Why?
Because predators protect predators.

In this extended, unsparing i...

They know what’s coming.

Behind the headlines, behind the PR statements, behind the endless “no comment” emails — there’s a quiet panic spreading among the world’s most powerful. The people who once brushed off questions about Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Virginia Giuffre are suddenly lawyering up, rewriting their histories, and scrubbing the internet clean.

In this special Hidden Killers episode, ...

“I don’t know anyone who protects a predator… other than a predator.”
That single line cuts to the core of this conversation.

In this Hidden Killers exclusive, Tony Brueski sits down with former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to dissect one of the darkest truths in human behavior — why predators don’t just act alone. They build networks. They build protection systems. They build institutions that mirror their path...

When a man who orchestrated a murder-for-hire scheme starts claiming he didn’t get a fair trial, you know the irony writes itself.

Charlie Adelson — the Miami dentist convicted for the 2014 murder of Florida State law professor Dan Markel — is now hanging his hopes on an appeal that looks more like a delay tactic than a legal triumph. He says Tallahassee was too biased, too saturated with media, too impossible for him...

The most dangerous thing to a predator isn’t exposure — it’s a survivor who refuses to stay silent.

In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and former FBI Behavioral Expert Robin Dreeke break down the psychology of predators protecting predators, through the lens of Virginia Giuffre’s life and legacy.

Giuffre’s posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl isn’t just a story — it’s an indictment. Behind every abuse...

When 23-year-old Kada Scott vanished after her nursing-home shift, she did everything right. She reported harassment. She said she felt unsafe. Two weeks later, she was found in a shallow grave behind an abandoned Philadelphia school.

The man charged with her kidnapping — Keon King — was no stranger to the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office. Earlier this year, King had been arrested for stalking and strangling an...

When Bryan Kohberger suddenly took a plea deal, the courtroom went silent — and with it, hundreds of pieces of evidence, witness testimony, and forensic detail that were set to define one of the most watched murder trials in America.

Now, newly unsealed documents are giving us a chilling glimpse at what the jury would have seen: the DNA on the knife sheath, the phone data that tracked Kohberger’s movements, and the pr...

When the Florida Department of Corrections locked the door on Donna Adelson, it didn’t just end a chapter in the Dan Markel murder case — it ended a dynasty built on money, manipulation, and control.

For years, the Adelsons operated like a family above the law — insulated by privilege, convinced they could script reality itself. But that illusion shattered when a Tallahassee jury saw through the act and convicted 75-y...

There are stories that break your heart — and then there are stories that break your trust in the entire system.
The case of Aaron Spencer out of Lonoke County, Arkansas, does both.

Spencer is the father who woke up one October night to find his 14-year-old daughter gone, a decoy hoodie left behind, and the man she was missing with — a convicted child predator named Michael Fosler — nowhere to be found. Fosler was...

Philadelphia’s District Attorney Larry Krasner promised reform.
Instead, he’s delivered a revolving door for violent offenders.

From Officer James O’Connor IV to Kada Scott, lives keep ending the same way — with suspects his office already had, and already let go.

In this explosive interview, former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole to expose how ideology, ego, and neglect turned Ph...

When the gavel came down and the jury pronounced Donna Adelson guilty of first-degree murder, it should’ve been the end of the story. But for Donna—the matriarch at the center of Florida’s most infamous murder-for-hire plot—it was only the beginning of a new obsession: the appeal. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down the cold, technical road Donna faces as she fights for a retrial, dissecting the differe...

Two crimes. Two young lives. Two moments of sheer panic that turned fatal.
