• Reckless or Murder? The Fraser Bohm Case Forces a Hard Question

  Four young women. One devastating crash. And a courtroom now wrestling with a question nobody wants to ask out loud: when does reckless behavior cross the line into murder? In today’s episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dive deep — not into outrage, not into assumptions, but into the uncomfortable space where law and emotion collide. The case of Fraser Michael Bohm, the 22-year-old accused of driving over 100 mph on Malibu’s Pacific Coast Highway before striking parked cars and killing four Pepperdine students, is now shaping up to be one of the most complex legal and moral debates in recent memory. Prosecutors say Bohm knew the danger. He knew the road. He’d lost friends to high-speed crashes before. And yet, according to investigators, he pushed his BMW past triple-digit speeds on a stretch known as “Dead Man’s Curve.” They argue this wasn’t a random tragedy — it was implied malice, the level of awareness that elevates a fatal crash into murder under California law. But the defense sees something different. They call this a catastrophic mistake — not malice. They point to his lack of impairment, his clean record, the possibility of panic or misjudgment, and the long legal tradition that separates negligence from murder. They argue that broadening the definition of malice risks criminalizing tragedy rather than intention. So who’s right? Does the foreseeability of danger define the crime? Or should the law resist bending under the weight of public grief? This episode challenges assumptions on both sides. It asks you to sit with the discomfort and think — truly think — about what justice means in a case where intent, recklessness, and tragedy all overlap. If you’ve already picked a side in the Bohm case… this might make you reconsider. 🎙️ Subscribe for in-depth, emotionally grounded true-crime analysis that’s never shallow, never sensational — just honest. #FraserBohm #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #PepperdineCrash #VehicularMurder #MalibuCrash #CourtTV #TrueCrimeCommentary #CriminalJustice #RecklessDrivingCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

• Inside Donna Adelson’s Mind: How She Justified the Murder Of Dan Markel

  How does a grandmother, a former schoolteacher, a woman who spent decades projecting the image of a devoted matriarch, end up at the center of one of the most disturbing family-driven crimes in recent memory? Tonight, we go deep into the psychology behind the Donna Adelson case — not to excuse her actions, but to finally understand the mental scaffolding that allowed her to justify something most people couldn’t even imagine doing. In this episode of Hidden Killers, we break down the narcissistic mindset that shaped Donna’s worldview for decades. We explore the internal story she built, one where her needs were moral law, her fears were prophecy, and her opinions were reality. This is the story of a woman who saw herself not as the architect of destruction, but as the protector of her family — even as every step she took brought that same family closer to ruin. We examine how Donna reframed boundaries as attacks, how she turned conflict into persecution, and how she slowly recast Dan Markel not as a human being but as an obstacle. Through that lens, her choices began to feel “reasonable” — even righteous — inside the distorted logic of a narcissistic mind determined to stay in control at any cost. This episode takes you inside that psychological maze. We expose how self-deception becomes a shield, how entitlement becomes a compass, and how emotional convenience becomes a moral code. Most importantly, we show how a person can move step-by-step from resentment to rationalization to catastrophe — without ever believing they crossed a line. If you’ve ever wondered how someone justifies something so destructive… this is the breakdown you’ve been waiting for. Stay with us. It’s uncomfortable. It’s unsettling. But it explains the world Donna Adelson built — and why it collapsed. #HiddenKillers #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkelCase #TrueCrimeAnalysis #PsychologyBreakdown #CriminalMindset #FamilyCrime #JusticeSystem #NarcissisticAbuse #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

• Celeste Rivas & D4VD: A Teen Found in a Car Trunk — Still No Answers

  It’s one of the most unsettling cases in recent memory: fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, found deceased in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to recording artist D4vd, sealed inside a plastic bag, severely decomposed — and yet months later, the official cause and manner of death remain “undetermined.” That one word has frozen the investigation in place. No homicide charge. No negligence charge. No clarity. Just a growing list of questions. Tonight on Hidden Killers, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down the enormous gap between what the public sees and what investigators can legally prove. And that gap is where this entire case is currently stuck. The LAPD’s latest statement doubled down on one thing: the only confirmed criminal act so far is “concealment of a body.” Nothing more. Not yet. But when you place a teen inside the sealed front trunk of a car, in a state of decomposition so advanced that specialists — from entomologists to forensic anthropologists — are required just to interpret what’s left, the public is right to ask whether something more happened here. We explore the science, the timeline, the forensics, and the troubling silence from everyone involved. We unpack why the medical examiner is taking months, why “undetermined” doesn’t mean “no crime,” and why the search warrant executed at D4vd’s former residence was not random — it required probable cause. This case sits at the intersection of decomposition, legal thresholds, and a tightly controlled circle of silence. And until science gives investigators something concrete, the system remains at a standstill.

• The Timeline That Can and Will Destroy Brian Walshe in Court

  The story of Ana and Brian Walshe is not just another missing-person case. It’s a timeline filled with pressure, contradictions, and behavior that—when laid out piece by piece—paints an unsettling picture of a marriage heading toward a breaking point. And now, as Brian prepares to stand trial, prosecutors are preparing to bring every moment of that timeline into full view. In this episode of Hidden Killers, I walk through the complete chronology: the instability leading up to Ana’s disappearance, the imbalance in the relationship, the rising pressure from Brian’s ongoing legal issues, and the future Ana was working relentlessly to build. What emerges, at least in my opinion, is the portrait of a woman carrying far more than any one person should, and a man whose documented behavior only deepened that burden. We look at the allegations prosecutors have presented: the reported timeline inconsistencies, the searches investigators say were made in the days after Ana vanished, and the forensic findings authorities claim point to deliberate concealment. None of this has been proven in court, and Brian maintains his innocence. But taken together, these publicly reported details offer a window into what the jury is about to confront when this trial begins. This is not a straightforward case. There is no recovered body. There is no confirmed cause of death. And yet the timeline, behavior patterns, and surrounding circumstances raise questions that demand a deeper look. This episode is my commentary—my analysis—based on publicly available information and prosecutors’ filings. And as the trial approaches, that timeline may become one of the most powerful tools the state has. If you’ve been following this case, or if you want a comprehensive walkthrough of the events leading up to this moment, this is the breakdown you’ve been waiting for.

• Melodee Buzzard: How Did Her Mother Walk Free?

  This is the case that makes the public stop and say, “What is going on here?” Because nine-year-old Melodee Buzzard is still missing, and the one adult who could explain what happened — her mother, Ashlee Buzzard — is out of jail, walking around with nothing more than an ankle monitor and a list of unanswered questions trailing behind her. Let’s break down what the public sees. A mother takes her daughter on a multi-state trip wearing wigs. She swaps license plates. She avoids witnesses. She can’t tell investigators a single verifiable detail about the last time Melodee was seen. Friends describe mental health crises, erratic behavior, and frightening instability. And then there’s the alleged moment where she tells a man she “knows where the child is,” locks him inside her house, and threatens him with a box cutter. That’s not a misunderstanding. That’s not confusion. That’s not the behavior of someone desperately searching for their missing child. And yet, despite all of this, a judge decided she could just… go home. No jail. No major conditions. No cooperation required. Tonight, on Hidden Killers, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to dissect how this happens — how a child can vanish, how a mother can refuse to help investigators, and how the system can still send her back into the world with barely a restriction. We’re looking at the red flags, the risk factors, the psychological indicators, and the legal loopholes that left the public in disbelief. Because if this doesn’t qualify as a high-risk case requiring immediate detention, then what does?
