Drummond insists he’s innocent. In his version, he’s not a killer — he’s a federal informant, betrayed by corrupt officials after his “cover” was blown. Investigators call that pure fiction. Cellphone records, vehicle data, and witness statements all tie Drummond to the wooded area where the victims’ bodies were found, hidden under camouflage tarps. And yet, his story keeps evolving — half spy thriller, half desperate self-defense.
In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig deep into the psychology behind Drummond’s claims. Is this a case of severe mental illness or cold-blooded manipulation? How do courts decide when someone’s delusion is real versus rehearsed? And what does Drummond’s long criminal history — armed robbery at 17, prison gang ties, and multiple disciplinary infractions — really tell us about who he is now?
Tony examines the latest legal developments, the state’s decision to seek the death penalty, and the disturbing possibility that the system saw this coming. Warnings about Drummond’s violence were documented as early as 2020 — yet he was still released less than a year before the murders.
Four people dead. One child left behind. And a man who still claims he’s the hero of his own story. Is this psychosis or performance? Truth or survival instinct? You decide.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
