What Celeste Rivas’ Parents Denied Knowing About D4vd
The preliminary hearing in the d4vd murder case put the spotlight somewhere nobody expected — on Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s own family. LAPD Detective Corey Farell testified that the parents knew about Burke’s relationship with their daughter. He attended their church. The sister traveled with them. They signed a notarized form for their thirteen-year-old to fly overseas with a grown man.Then her father told reporters he’d never had contact with Burke.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines whether that contradiction carries legal weight — and whether parents who allegedly knew about and facilitated their daughter’s contact with the man prosecutors say killed her face criminal exposure under California law.According to testimony, Celeste was pregnant at thirteen. A teacher warned authorities. Deputies showed up at Burke’s door and left satisfied. The people with the least power tried the hardest to protect this child. Faddis on what that means for the people who had the most.Burke has pleaded not guilty. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How Bryan Kohberger Still Controls His Family
From a cell south of Boise, Bryan Kohberger is still issuing instructions. A birthday cake baked to his eldest sister's taste. Candles blown out by someone else. Hours of daily video calls — not ordered by any court, just expected. And on July 27, a handwritten petition filed in Ada County without his family knowing until a headline told them.That petition names Anne Taylor, Elisa Massoth, and Bicka Barlow — the defense attorneys who kept a quadruple murderer off Idaho's death row — and calls their work ineffective. Bryan is representing himself.But the petition is the latest act, not the first. The pattern started in 2014, when a nineteen-year-old Bryan stole Melissa's phone, sold it for two hundred dollars, and warned his father not to do anything stupid when he was confronted. The family's response was not to walk away. They reported it, and then they rebuilt him. Rehab to community college to a bachelor's to a master's to a doctoral program. The word they used was "proud."What emerged from all that work walked into a house on King Road in the early morning of November 13, 2022.This piece is an open letter to the Kohberger family — not asking them to stop loving their son, but asking them to consider that the person they're holding on to is not the person they made. That the account is closed. That a family's decency is not measured by how long they let someone spend it.Four students will never get another birthday. Bryan Kohberger asked his sister to bake a cake and blow out the candles for him.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How Bryan Kohberger And Lindsay Clancy Explain Themselves
One admitted it and now says he did not do it. One admits it and says she could not be held responsible for it. Bryan Kohberger and Lindsay Clancy in one full conversation.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, thirty years across private practice, community mental health, crisis teams, and forensic programs.The Kohberger material covers his petition to withdraw a guilty plea in the Idaho student murders, the sentence in his New York Times statement that relocates innocence from a fact into a personal truth, his allegations that counsel advised him to lie, and the scheduling of that statement against a documentary premiere he had two weeks of notice about.The Clancy material covers her trial in Plymouth Superior Court, the prosecution's opening characterization of her as manipulating her doctors and seeking a quick and easy fix, her attorney's counter that she wanted off her medications entirely, the thirteen prescriptions across four months in the record per the Boston Globe, and the public misunderstanding of what a not criminally responsible verdict actually does.Scott's position on the second case is worth the listen on its own. She does not think people are confused about psychosis. She thinks they are afraid that understanding it means excusing it.The two segments share a structural problem worth naming out loud. In both, the defendant's own account is the central piece of contested evidence, and in both, the people judging it have no way to check it directly. What separates them is that one account has a documented medical record, a diagnosis, and a treatment timeline behind it. The other has a statement to a newspaper.Both cases are covered in full.

Nobody Is Asking Lindsay Clancy's Doctors Anything
Nobody is prosecuting the people who wrote the prescriptions. In the Lindsay Clancy trial, her treatment history is evidence against her, and the state's opening framed her as the one who worked the system.Tony Brueski takes that to psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, thirty years across private practice, community mental health, crisis teams, and forensic programs, for the institutional version of this case.Assistant District Attorney Shanan Buckingham told jurors that Clancy manipulated her doctors and sought a quick and easy fix. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington told the same jurors she wanted off the drugs entirely and had no motive. Her separate malpractice suit alleges the medications she received worsened her condition and that her care was scattered across prescribers with nobody coordinating it.The Boston Globe reported the record shows thirteen psychiatric medications in four months, prescribed by psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, emergency department doctors, and inpatient staff.So one reading is a patient gaming her providers. The other is a system that kept writing scripts and never assembled the picture. This episode is about which one the evidence actually describes, and about who gets protected when the word manipulated does the work in an opening statement.Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan. She does not deny killing them. The case turns on criminal responsibility.Scott also works through why postpartum psychosis does not appear as its own diagnosis in the DSM, and what that absence does to expert testimony once both sides put clinicians in front of a jury. Roughly two dozen countries have a statute written for this exact situation. The United States has none, which leaves this jury sorting it out with the tools of an ordinary murder trial.Follow True Crime Today for more.For help with postpartum mood disorders, contact Postpartum Support International at postpartum.net or call or text 800-944-4773.

What D4vd’s Lawyer Asked The Medical Examiner About Celeste
Blair Berk asked the LA County medical examiner a question the courtroom wasn’t expecting — whether Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s fatal wounds could have been self-inflicted. In a case where prosecutors allege the defendant ordered chainsaws, a body bag, and a burn cage under a fake name. Where a body was found in the trunk of a Tesla. Where the alleged motive is a record deal worth up to nineteen million dollars.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down what Berk’s questioning reveals about the trial defense — and whether three chainsaws that tested negative for blood and an Uber driver who couldn’t confirm his passenger give the defense enough to survive the rest of the evidence.Bodycam from February 2024 shows Burke was told Celeste was thirteen. Prosecutors say the relationship continued fourteen more months. The defense says he “did not murder” her and “was not the cause” of her death — two different claims that Faddis says signal a very specific trial strategy.Burke has pleaded not guilty and is held without bail. Celeste was fourteen.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why Nobody Warned Lindsay Clancy's Husband
Patrick Clancy took the stand as the prosecution's lead witness. He gave them the 911 call — seven minutes of a father finding his three children with exercise bands around their necks, screaming into the phone while attempting CPR on a five-year-old, a three-year-old, and an eight-month-old. The courtroom broke. The judge called a recess. A reporter who's covered trials for four decades called it one of the worst things he's ever heard.But Patrick Clancy also gave the jury something the prosecution didn't plan on. He described driving Lindsay to ERs twice, watching her get prescribed medication after medication, pushing her to check into McLean Hospital when she didn't want to go, and asking her directly whether she needed to be kept from the children. She said no. And no provider in her care — not one — ever contradicted that. Tony unpacks every piece of testimony from the trial's most critical witness, the prosecution's pill-bottle strategy, the defense motion over Lindsay's internet searches, and the systemic failure that left three children unprotected by the institutions responsible for their mother's care.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger Waited Until THIS Was Announced
The Netflix premiere date was public two weeks before Bryan Kohberger said anything, and he spoke on the Sunday night right before it. That sequence is where this conversation starts.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott get into the audience management underneath the Idaho student murders reversal, rather than the legal filing everybody else is parsing.Here is the sequence. Sunday night, a statement to the New York Times. Monday, a self-filed petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court. Wednesday, a three-part documentary built by director Skye Borgman specifically to return the focus to Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin.One of those three things was not on his calendar by accident.The conversation goes into whether someone in his position is even capable of letting a spotlight pass, what he gains from the people thanking him back, and the two historical cases that make this look less like a modern media problem and more like a permanent feature of the type. Holmes selling a hundred deaths and then unselling them. Lucas confessing his way to steak dinners and day trips, and recanting the second the attention stopped.The Goncalves family compared him to a mosquito nobody can quite swat, and said that if a fraction of the energy spent trying to free a guilty man went toward honoring the four who died, there would be statues on every corner.There is also the family he thanked for never wavering in their belief in who he is. That is a different audience from the strangers analyzing the case online, and Scott separates the two, because what a person draws from each is not the same. One sustains a story. The other supplies a stage.Watch the full conversation, and follow Hidden Killers Live for more.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger Claims He Was Told To Lie In Court
Bryan Kohberger says his own defense team told him to lie. That accusation sits at the center of the petition he filed to undo his guilty plea in the Idaho student murders, and it is his claim, not a finding by any court.In documents filed in Ada County District Court, he alleges ineffective assistance of counsel, alleges he was convinced to falsely confess, and alleges he was promised a legal victory in exchange for a plea that did not have to be truthful. His attorneys have declined to comment.Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott for a conversation that skips the motion practice and goes at the person filing it. Scott has spent decades in private practice, community mental health, crisis teams, and forensic programs, which makes her the right person for the question nobody in the news coverage is asking.That question is whether the man writing these documents believes them.Because there are two versions of this. In one, he is running a calculated play, testing whether a self-represented filing can pry open a case he closed himself. In the other, something genuinely reorganized during twelve months in a maximum security cell, and the file in his head no longer matches the transcript.The episode also works through the language. Myopic narrative. Work of fiction. Justice circumnavigated. A criminology doctorate applied to his own murder conviction, in vocabulary that seems designed to be quoted.There is also the question of what the writing itself is for. Very few people file a self-represented petition and simultaneously place a call to a national newspaper unless some part of the goal is an audience. Scott's read on that is not the obvious one, and it complicates the easy answer that all of this is pure calculation.Listen to the full conversation, and follow Hidden Killers Live for more.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
