The Benjamin Elliott Story: Sleepwalking Or Murder? 14:15

10 hours temu14:15

14:15

This case is the kind of legal puzzle that makes you wonder just how much we really know about the human brain. A Texas jury just found 21-year-old Benjamin Elliott guilty of murder for stabbing his twin sister, Meghan, in the neck while she slept. The twist? Elliott claims he was sleepwalking at the time. Let’s rewind to 2021. Elliott was just 17 when he plunged a survival knife into his sister’s neck in their family home in Katy, Texas. According to his version of events, he was deep in a dream, completely unaware of what he was doing—until he suddenly snapped awake and realized the horror in front of him. In his initial statement to investigators, Elliott said: “I freaked out and, like, put the knife down and put a pillow on her to try and stop the bleeding. Then called, you know, 911 from my phone.” But Meghan’s injuries were fatal. No amount of frantic backpedaling could undo what had just happened. After five hours of deliberation, the jury delivered its verdict: guilty of murder . The judge then handed down a 15-year sentence—far less than the 99 years he could have faced. And why? Because the jury itself asked for leniency. From the very beginning, Elliott’s lawyer, Wes Rucker, built the entire defense on one question: Why would a kid with no motive, no history of violence, and a deep love for his sister do something this horrific—unless he wasn’t truly awake? Sleepwalking as a legal defense isn’t unheard of, but it’s rare . The idea is that someone in a sleepwalking state is essentially on autopilot, moving and acting without conscious control. It’s not a crime of passion, not a premeditated attack—it’s just the brain misfiring in the worst way possible. And Elliott’s family backed up his claim. His older sister even testified that he had a history of bizarre, trance-like episodes. One time, she recalled, he stood in a doorway with his eyes barely open, unresponsive. When she touched his shoulder, he simply turned and went back to bed, completely unaware of what had happened. Sounds convincing, right? Not according to the prosecution. Prosecutors didn’t buy the sleepwalking angle for a second. While they couldn’t present a clear motive , they did drop some evidence suggesting Elliott was definitely awake shortly before the stabbing. For one, he was using his phone about 20 minutes before the attack. That’s a pretty big red flag. Unless he was sleep-texting—(which, to be fair, is a thing, but not exactly common)—it suggests he was fully conscious leading up to the crime. Then there was the way he handled the aftermath. Prosecutors argued that after stabbing Meghan, Elliott had the presence of mind to call 911 and even use a pillow to muffle her screams. That doesn’t sound like someone in a mindless sleepwalking state—it sounds like someone trying to control the situation. Assistant District Attorney Megan Long put it bluntly: "While I didn’t give you motive, I did give you premeditation. It’s not a coincidence that the knife he got the night before is the same knife he used to kill his sister.” This left the jury in a tough spot. They clearly weren’t convinced by the sleepwalking defense, but they also weren’t sold on the idea that Elliott was a cold-blooded killer. If they had believed this was a calculated murder, they could have recommended a much harsher sentence. Instead, they asked the judge for leniency —which is exactly what he gave. Not everyone agrees with the jury’s verdict. Neurologist Dr. Jerald Simmons, who testified for the defense, flat-out said: "I think the jury got it wrong. It’s totally possible [to kill while sleepwalking]. If it wasn’t possible, I wouldn’t have taken this position.” He pointed out that, while rare, similar cases have happened before. For example, back in 2010, a North Carolina man was found not guilty after claiming he was sleepwalking when he smothered his 4-year-old son and attacked two other children. In that case, experts testified that extreme stress and sleep deprivation could trigger violent sleepwalking episodes. But in Elliott’s case? The jury just wasn’t convinced enough to let him walk free. So, was Benjamin Elliott a tragic victim of a sleep disorder? Or did the jury just spare a young man from spending his entire life in prison because they weren’t totally sure of his intentions? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Why Did the Laundries Stay Silent When Gabby Petito Was Missing? Former FBI Agent Reveals the Truth 16:31

Could the Laundries really have been just scared parents caught in a whirlwind of chaos, or was their silence a calculated move? When your son comes home without his fiancée, and you find yourself suddenly on a family camping trip while the world searches for her, people start asking questions. Robin Dreeke, former FBI Special Agent and behavioral analysis expert, takes a hard look at the actions—or inactions—of Chris and Roberta Laundrie. Did they know more than they let on? Did years of enabling their son’s volatile behavior lead them to a place where they could shut out the horrors of reality, even as protesters lined up outside their home? And let’s talk about that eerie ability to find Brian’s remains when hundreds of trained searchers couldn’t. Was that grief-stricken intuition, or something else entirely? When does parental protection cross the line into obstruction? And most chillingly—what would you have done in their shoes? #GabbyPetito #BrianLaundrie #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #FBIBehaviorAnalysis #CrimeInvestigation #DarkTruths Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Could Donna Save Herself by Flipping on Wendy? Attorney Bob Motta Weighs In 12:31

Could Donna Save Herself by Flipping on Wendy? Attorney Bob Motta Weighs In Would Charlie Adelson really throw his own family under the bus to save himself? That’s the million-dollar question as the legal walls close in on the Adelson clan. With his appeals running thin, could turning state’s witness be his last, desperate play? And if so, would it be enough to take down Wendy Adelson, the sister who just happened to be "coincidentally" circling the crime scene at the perfect moment? The prosecution is playing chess, not checkers, strategically picking off the family members one by one. But do they have enough to convict Wendy, or is this a highly circumstantial house of cards? Defense Attorney Bob Motta breaks it down, explaining why Wendy might walk—unless Charlie decides to roll over. And then there’s Donna Adelson, the matriarch who’s giving off major “entitled narcissist” energy. Will she take the stand in her own trial, or will her performance during bond hearings be enough to bury her? With checks, cash piles, and some wildly suspicious financial moves, the prosecution is trying to connect the dots—while the defense scrambles for an explanation that doesn’t sound utterly ridiculous. Will the "extortion" excuse actually fly? Or is Donna destined to spend her golden years in a much less gilded cage? #TrueCrime #CharlieAdelson #WendyAdelson #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #LegalStrategy #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Does Kevin Franke Really 'Get It', If He Still Loves Ruby Franke? Was Kevin Franke a victim of coercion, or did he just turn a blind eye? The case of Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt has been dissected from every angle, but Kevin—the husband who stayed, the father who didn’t intervene—is a puzzle in himself. Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to unravel the layers of manipulation, blind faith, and pathological passivity that may have led Kevin to abandon his children to a house of horrors. Kevin now claims he was just another victim, swept up in a toxic mix of religious obedience and psychological control. But can we really accept that explanation? Or is it a convenient way to dodge accountability for the role he played—or failed to play—in protecting his own kids? As a new Hulu documentary attempts to shed light on his story, we ask the question: Should Kevin Franke be held responsible, or is he just another casualty of a cult-like system? #RubyFranke #KevinFranke #JodiHildebrandt #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #CoerciveControl #CrimeDocumentary Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

PART FOUR: EXPOSURE AND CONSEQUENCES At some point, reality catches up with delusion. For Chad and Lori, that moment came when their doomsday prophecy failed, the bodies were found, and the world demanded answers. This episode follows the unraveling of their belief system , from the moment their July 2020 doomsday prediction never came true to the mounting pressure from law enforcement and national media. Lori’s chilling lack of emotion after her children disappeared and her refusal to cooperate with investigators only fueled the fire. Chad, once seen as a spiritual leader , suddenly found himself a fugitive, his so-called prophetic status crumbling under legal scrutiny. Through court testimonies, expert breakdowns, and official LDS responses , we explore how justice was finally served. Chad and Lori’s religious justifications were torn apart in court , and their former followers turned against them. The trial exposed the full extent of their manipulation, their self-serving doctrine, and the horrifying reality of what they had done in the name of their so-called divine mission. This wasn’t just a story about a crime—it was a case study in radicalization, cult psychology, and the dangers of unchecked belief. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Did Donna Adelson really think she could talk her way out of jail? The 75-year-old matriarch of the Adelson family, now facing first-degree murder charges in the alleged murder-for-hire of Dan Markel, took the stand this week—and let’s just say, things did not go as planned. Painting herself as a frail, elderly victim of the system, she pled for release, only for prosecutors to drop a bombshell: recorded jailhouse calls where she and her son Charlie discuss escape plans and countries without extradition. Oops. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer break down Donna’s disastrous courtroom performance, her apparent belief that she’s the smartest person in the universe, and whether she’ll take a plea or go down swinging. And then there’s the big question—could she flip on her daughter, Wendy?

Frozen in Suspicion: The Kansas City Chiefs Watch Party Mystery 19:04

19:04

The best friend of three Kansas City Chiefs fans who were found frozen in a backyard after a watch party has been arrested alongside another man more than a year after the case baffled authorities and family members. Ricky Johnson, 38, David Harrington, 37, and Clayton McGeeney, 36, were last seen alive watching the final regular season Chiefs game on January 7, 2024. Two days later, their bodies were discovered in the backyard of their friend Jordan Willis' home. Willis, 39, a scientist, and Ivory J. Carson, 42, have now been charged with involuntary manslaughter and delivery of a controlled substance, Kansas City police announced Wednesday. For months, Willis denied any involvement in his friends’ deaths, claiming he went to bed in the early hours of January 8 and had no idea they were still outside. He also said he was wearing headphones and never saw the frantic messages from the victims’ loved ones. But as time passed, suspicion grew. Family members of the deceased demanded answers from police, who initially insisted there was no foul play. The case seemed stalled—until investigators found a crucial link: Carson, known as "Blade Brown," allegedly supplied and sold cocaine to Willis and the victims. His DNA was later discovered on a bag of fentanyl inside Willis' home. According to prosecutors, a witness reported seeing a plate of cocaine at Harrington’s home earlier in the night, allegedly provided by Willis. Another witness told police he was with the men at Willis’ home after the game, where they drank, smoked marijuana, and used cocaine. That witness confirmed Harrington, McGeeney, and Johnson were still alive at 1:30 a.m. after Willis had gone to bed. By January 9, after two days with no contact, McGeeney’s fiancée broke into Willis’ basement, calling his name. She found one of the bodies on the back porch and immediately called the police. Officers then discovered the other two victims in the yard. Toxicology reports later confirmed the presence of cocaine, THC, and fentanyl in their systems. On Wednesday, authorities concluded the men died from "fentanyl and cocaine toxicity." But for their families, the explanation wasn’t enough. Harrington’s mother, Theresa, pointed out that her son did not take drugs intending to die. "Somebody gave them something that would kill them," she insisted. Suspicion around Willis only intensified when it was revealed he had moved out of his Kansas City home and entered a rehabilitation program. Meanwhile, police uncovered text messages between Carson, the victims, and others that allegedly confirmed Carson was supplying them with cocaine. When questioned by police in July 2024, Carson admitted to selling the drug to the victims. Platte County Prosecuting Attorney Eric Zahnd made it clear: "This case is a tragic reminder of the dangers of street drugs. But make no mistake, the people that supply those drugs can and will be held accountable when people overdose." Carson is now in jail on a $100,000 cash bond. Willis is expected to surrender and post his own $100,000 bond. If convicted, both men face a maximum of 10 years in prison. #KansasCity #ChiefsWatchParty #TrueCrime #FentanylCrisis Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Trial Turmoil: Karen Read's Defense Battles Over Jury Access and Missing Evidence 8:13

23 hours temu8:13

8:13

Trial Turmoil: Karen Read's Defense Battles Over Jury Access and Missing Evidence The judge overseeing Karen Read’s murder case forcefully refuted claims made by her defense on Wednesday that a Massachusetts State Police lieutenant had direct oversight over the jury during her first murder trial. Read appeared in federal court and Norfolk Superior Court on Wednesday, where her lawyers argued a motion to dismiss the case. At the outset of the hearing, Judge Beverly Cannone pushed back on the claim from Read’s attorney Alan Jackson, stating that his assertion—that Lt. John Fanning had control over and access to the jury—was “simply not true.” She emphasized that the only individuals with access to the jury were court officers and pressed Jackson on what “good faith basis” he had for making such a claim. Jackson pointed to a sidebar conference during Read’s first trial in which a Norfolk County prosecutor referred to Fanning as the “commander” of security for the proceedings. This conference followed allegations of misconduct concerning a juror whom the defense believed would vote to acquit Read. That juror was ultimately dismissed before deliberations began. The exchange was heated, as Read’s lawyers continued to argue that the case should be dismissed due to “extraordinary governmental misconduct.” They claimed that prosecutors or law enforcement officers failed to turn over key evidence that could have exonerated Read. A significant portion of the argument centered on surveillance videos from the Canton Police Department’s sallyport. Hours after Read’s boyfriend, Boston Police officer John O’Keefe, was found dying in the snow outside a Canton home, her car was towed from her parents’ home to the police station. Read’s defense contends that a crucial 42-minute portion of the footage, which would have captured her SUV’s arrival, was missing. State Police Trooper Michael Proctor initially requested copies of these videos in February 2022 and later requested additional footage in June 2023. Read’s defense accused Proctor, who has been suspended without pay since July due to disparaging texts he sent about Read, of deliberately withholding the videos. Jackson argued that Proctor had complete possession and control over the footage and that the videos that were eventually turned over were “magically cut out, blurred, or became grainy” at the precise moment Read’s vehicle entered the sallyport. He accused the investigators of obscuring evidence to undermine Read’s defense. Prosecutors countered that they were unaware of the videos until Proctor’s testimony before a federal grand jury revealed their existence. Special prosecutor Hank Brennan dismissed claims that the videos had been tampered with, stating that the defense had provided no evidence of intentional withholding. The defense argued that the videos would support their claim that Read’s right rear taillight was cracked, but not shattered, when it arrived at the station. They contend that fragments of the taillight were planted at the crime scene to frame Read. Prosecutors maintain that the light shattered upon impact with O’Keefe and that the footage disproves the defense’s argument. Brennan also addressed the jury tampering allegation, calling it one of the most serious accusations that could be made against the legal system. He stated that such a claim requires extraordinary evidence, which the defense failed to provide. He emphasized that Fanning had no interaction with any jurors and had never even set foot on court property while jurors were present. Jackson pushed back, stating that the defense had never been given the information Brennan presented until the hearing. He questioned how Brennan had obtained such details and why the defense had not been informed of any conversations between Brennan and Fanning. Judge Cannone did not rule on the motion to dismiss, and Read’s second trial remains scheduled to begin on April 1. Meanwhile, in federal court, Read’s lawyers also argued for the dismissal of two of the three charges against her on double jeopardy grounds. The judge in that case indicated he would issue a ruling before the trial date. #KarenRead #TrueCrime #LegalDrama #CourtroomBattle Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Could The Bryan Kohberger 'Autism Argument' Humanize Him or Harden the Jury Against Him? Is autism spectrum disorder a factor in criminal behavior, or are we just looking for answers in the wrong places? The debate around mental health in high-profile criminal cases is as heated as ever, but when it comes to the alleged actions of Bryan Kohberger, the prosecution is doing everything it can to keep discussions of his mental state far, far away from the jury’s ears. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dive deep into the murky waters of mental health and the law, questioning whether autism is misunderstood in criminal investigations. Why is the prosecution so determined to remove any argument related to Kohberger’s mental state? Would an insanity defense even hold up in court, or would it just be a distraction from the hard evidence—like DNA, cell phone pings, and a suspiciously well-timed blackout on the night in question? And then there’s the bigger question: Is mental health something courts should consider more often, or are we just making excuses for behavior that should simply be judged on cold, hard facts?

Diddy and Tupac The Murder-for-Hire Conspiracy That Won’t Die 28:05

For decades, the murder of Tupac Shakur has remained one of the most debated unsolved cases in hip-hop history. Official reports say it was a gang retaliation, but what if there was more to the story? In this episode, we dive deep into the shocking allegations that Sean “Diddy” Combs may have played a role in orchestrating Tupac’s assassination. From Keefe D’s bombshell confession to the latest lawsuits claiming Diddy privately admitted to the hit, we break down the evidence, the legal roadblocks, and why law enforcement has never pursued charges. We’ll examine the explosive claim that a $1 million bounty was placed on Tupac’s head and how it ties to former Bad Boy associates, West Coast gangs, and secret meetings that could change everything we thought we knew. With firsthand testimony from street insiders, former industry executives, and the detectives who reopened the case, this episode explores why the accusations against Diddy have refused to disappear—even decades later. Is this a case of circumstantial evidence and street rumors, or is there something deeper that has been kept from the public? Why hasn’t the FBI or Las Vegas PD brought charges, despite multiple confessions linking Combs to the murder? Join us as we separate fact from fiction, explore the powerful figures involved, and ask the biggest question of all: Will the truth about Tupac’s murder ever be proven in court?

DNA Under Idaho Victim’s Nails Does It Clear or Incriminate Kohberger 27:45

DNA evidence is at the center of the Bryan Kohberger trial , but not all forensic evidence is as clear-cut as it seems. While prosecutors claim that DNA found on a knife sheath at the crime scene directly links Kohberger to the Idaho student murders , the defense argues that another DNA sample— a 3-person mixture found under victim Madison Mogen’s fingernails —raises serious doubts about his involvement. With forensic experts disagreeing on the interpretation of the evidence , the case is shaping up to be a legal battle over the science of DNA analysis. In this episode, we break down why DNA mixtures are so controversial , how forensic labs analyze complex samples, and what it actually means when someone is "included" but not definitively matched to a crime scene. We also examine how the prosecution used investigative genetic genealogy to track Kohberger through a public DNA database —a method that has solved cold cases but also sparked debates about privacy and forensic reliability. Could the DNA evidence in this case be misleading the jury? Or is it the key to convicting Kohberger? Join us as we dive deep into the forensic science, legal strategies, and real-world impact of DNA evidence in high-profile criminal trials. Whether you're following this case closely or just want to understand how forensic DNA works, this episode delivers the facts, the science, and the controversies you need to know.

Bob Motta Breaks Down Why Donna Adelson is Completely Screwed 23:38

Bob Motta Breaks Down Why Donna Adelson is Completely Screwed Donna Adelson walked into court hoping to paint herself as the true victim—an elderly grandmother trapped in a world of hardened criminals, denied decent medical care, and, worst of all, struggling to get a good night’s sleep. But the prosecution had a slightly different perspective—one involving jailhouse calls, escape plans, and a nearly successful flight to Vietnam. Turns out, Donna’s own words weren’t just keeping her behind bars; they were now admissible at trial. Defense Attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to break down Donna’s bizarre bond hearing, her claims of mistreatment (which pale in comparison to some actual horror stories from behind bars), and the real legal dangers she’s facing. Was she the financial mastermind behind a murder-for-hire plot, or is this just a case of unfortunate coincidences? And more importantly, why do so many people forget that jail isn’t supposed to be comfortable? Is Donna’s fate already sealed, or could this take an unexpected turn? #TrueCrime #DonnaAdelson #HiddenKillers #MurderForHire #DefenseDiaries #BobMotta #CrimeNews Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Karen Read Juror Removal & Sandra Birchmore Cover-Up, Lt. John Fanning's Actions Raise HUGE RED FLAGS! 29:39

1 day temu29:39

29:39

The Karen Read case has taken another dramatic turn, and this time, it’s not about new forensic evidence—it’s about the people who built the case against her. In this explosive episode, we uncover the jury tampering allegations surrounding Lt. John Fanning and his unverified claim that led to the removal of a juror just as deliberations reached a critical point. How did an officer with no official role in the jury process suddenly become the key figure in a decision that may have swayed the outcome? And why was the so-called "video evidence" he cited never produced? But the problems don’t stop there. We dive deep into Trooper Michael Proctor’s shocking text messages , where he openly mocked Read and displayed clear bias before the investigation was even complete. How did Fanning, his superior, allow this blatant misconduct to go unchecked? And what does this say about the fairness of the entire case? As Read’s legal team prepares for a retrial, these questions could change everything. And if that wasn’t enough, we expose Lt. Fanning’s troubling history in the Sandra Birchmore case , where he led an investigation that prematurely ruled a murder a suicide—until the feds stepped in and proved him wrong. Could this be part of a disturbing pattern of covering for law enforcement? Is Karen Read just the latest victim of a system that protects its own? Don’t miss this eye-opening episode as we pull back the curtain on the corruption, bias, and unanswered questions that could make or break one of the most controversial trials in recent history .

Gabby Petito Update; Breaking Down The Cold, Callous and Tone Deaf Behavior Of Bryan Laundries Parents Amid Crisis 11:13

Could the tragic fate of Gabby Petito have been prevented? That’s the haunting question that lingers as we unravel the disturbing web of indifference, denial, and alleged complicity surrounding her murder. From law enforcement’s failure to act on clear warning signs to the Laundrie family's cold detachment, the case isn't just about one life lost—it’s about the larger implications of how power, privilege, and silence protect the wrong people. Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins us to dissect the psychological mechanisms at play—how a family seemingly prioritized self-preservation over justice, how an alleged abuser operated without consequence, and why, time and time again, red flags are ignored until it’s too late. Is this just another tragic case, or is it a reflection of something much darker within society itself? And seriously… who takes their son on a camping trip when he’s suspected of murder? #GabbyPetito #BrianLaundrie #TrueCrime #PsychologyOfCrime #HiddenKillers #CrimeAnalysis #JusticeForGabby Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Breaking Down The Beliefs of Chad & Lori Vallow Daybell Part 3: Running A Cult 18:52

Breaking Down The Beliefs of Chad & Lori Vallow Daybell Part 3: Running A Cult PART THREE: PRACTICES AND ESCALATION Chad and Lori weren’t just theorizing about the apocalypse—they were actively preparing for it . This episode takes you inside the cult-like rituals that cemented their control over their small but devoted group of followers. From prayer circles and casting ceremonies to exorcisms meant to drive out “dark spirits,” we reveal the manipulative practices they used to create an unshakable belief system where questioning was not allowed. Once Chad and Lori had their followers’ trust, the next step was eliminating the obstacles —anyone who didn’t fit into their end-times prophecy. Their doctrine of “zombies” and demonic possession became a convenient excuse to justify murder . When Chad prophesied that his wife Tammy would soon die, she did. When Lori declared her own children were no longer “themselves,” they vanished. Through chilling text messages, firsthand testimonies, and expert psychological analysis , we examine how Lori and Chad stripped away their moral inhibitions . By the time law enforcement caught on, the body count was growing. What made them believe that murder was righteous? And how did their manipulation techniques turn everyday people into accomplices?
