    Latest Episodes:
    What Nolan Wells' Most-Watched Video Really Caught Jul 29, 2026
    Show notes

    Calling the Nolan Wells investigation a blackout runs into an inconvenient problem: a blackout produces nothing, and this case has produced a paper trail anybody can go read. That is where this episode starts, and it is not where most of the coverage has been willing to go.

    Nolan Xavier Wells, eighteen, rode out to Horn Island on the Fourth of July with friends and did not come back with them. A park ranger found him in the water on the morning of July 6. In the time since, a belief has hardened that facts are being deliberately kept from the public.

    So we test it. The dispatch audio from the boat exists because a news organization filed a records request. The vessel's tracking data exists because another one did. A state agency report exists for the same reason. Investigators publicly asked the crowd from that day to send in unedited footage, which is a strange thing to request if the goal is a quiet burial.

    Meanwhile the people a cover-up would need silent have been doing interviews with national outlets.

    We also handle the thread almost everyone has left dangling, which is the judge whose son was on that boat, and what a chancery court in Mississippi actually has jurisdiction over. The answer defuses one complaint entirely and leaves a different one standing.

    Then there is the state autopsy, the statute governing who gets a copy, and the reason the district attorney gave for sealing it, which is weakest exactly where she is leaning on it hardest.

    And the video everybody thinks they understand, and the measurement that takes it apart.

    Does Bryan Kohberger Actually Believe He's Innocent? Jul 29, 2026
    Show notes

    He answered yes when a judge asked if he was guilty. Now Bryan Kohberger says he was talked into it.

    About a year after his sentencing on four consecutive life terms, Kohberger filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court, representing himself. He says his confession was false and that his actual innocence is his truth.

    Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, who led the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, work through what the filing actually argues and what the wording of it reveals.

    The petition rests on ineffective assistance of counsel. Kohberger alleges his defense team did not disclose or review evidence that would have helped him. He alleges he was given a distorted account of what a life sentence and death row in Idaho involve. He points to threats and false promises as the reason he pleaded at all.

    The discussion covers the practical question underneath all of it. He waived his appeal rights in the agreement, but a waiver has never stopped a defendant from attacking the validity of the plea itself. That is the opening he is using, and it was always there.

    It also covers his statement that he would welcome prosecutors seeking the death penalty again, and what the Goncalves family said in response. They wanted a capital trial from the beginning and have said he simply wants another roll of the dice. Dreeke weighs whether that read holds up behaviorally.

    Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were killed in November 2022. There was no trial and no motive on the record. Prosecutors could have required him to explain himself as a condition of the deal, and they decided not to. That silence is now part of what the families are living with.

    Hidden Killers stays with this case as the petition moves through Ada County. Subscribe for the ruling and the analysis behind it.

    Can Bryan Kohberger Really Take His Guilty Plea Back? Jul 29, 2026
    Show notes

    Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to four murders in open court, out loud, four separate times. Now he is trying to take all of it back.

    So can he actually do that? That is the question, and the answer involves one sentence he said under oath that he is going to have a very hard time getting around.

    This episode works through the answer. Kohberger is serving four consecutive life terms for the University of Idaho student murders, handed down after he admitted the killings of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in open court. He has now filed to undo that admission entirely, and he filed it himself.

    We go through the document, the standard he would have to meet, and the exact reason people who work in Idaho courtrooms are not losing sleep over it. We look at who sat beside him the day he pleaded, how long he had been reviewing the evidence before that morning, and the sworn statement that turns his own filing against him.

    And we get to the letter. Before the plea was ever signed, a prosecutor wrote to these four families and promised them in writing that this could not happen to them. That is where the outrage in this story actually belongs.

    Kaylee Goncalves' family answered within hours, and their statement does more damage in one paragraph than any legal analyst managed all day.

    Everything here comes from the docket, the filings, and dated reporting on the University of Idaho case.

    Lindsay Clancy Trial: Pharmacy Manager and Hostess Fill In the Timeline Jul 29, 2026
    Show notes


    Two witnesses with nothing in common except the same case took the stand today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.

    First up was Angela Krause, general manager of the CVS in Kingston. She testified Clancy called the pharmacy herself asking about a specific medication. Investigators later came back with a separate request — surveillance footage from the day Patrick Clancy picked that same prescription up. Two visits, two different things police wanted to see.

    Then came Saria Sweeney Shelgren, a hostess at ThreeV restaurant in Plymouth, who was working the night of the killings. She testified Clancy called in an order and that her voice wasn't slurred or impaired. A man came in to collect it. Small detail, deliberate purpose — prosecutors are spending their time building an hour-by-hour account of that evening, and a clear-headed phone order doesn't leave much room for a narrative of total collapse.

    After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.

    Lindsay Clancy Trial: Patrick Clancy Testifies — He Found His Wife Broken, His Kids Gone Jul 29, 2026
    Show notes


    Patrick Clancy took the stand today in the murder trial of his wife, Lindsay Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling their three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.

    Patrick testified he came home to find his wife outside the house, bloody and broken — she'd allegedly just jumped from a second-story window in an attempted suicide that left her paralyzed from the waist down. He then went inside and found his three children in the basement. There's no version of that walk-through that doesn't stay with a person. He didn't editorialize on the stand. He didn't need to. Prosecutors let the sequence of events do the talking, and it landed exactly the way they wanted it to.

    The defense isn't disputing what Patrick found. They're disputing what was happening in Lindsay's mind when it happened, which is its own kind of brutal argument to sit through as the husband and father. Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. Patrick has since relocated to Manhattan and spoken publicly, including to The New Yorker, about his wife's mental health leading up to that day. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to run several weeks.

    Did Lindsay Clancy Talk Her Way Out Of That Hospital? Jul 29, 2026
    Show notes

    A woman admitted for thoughts about harming her children told a hospital those thoughts were gone. The hospital let her go home.

    Patrick Clancy took his wife to Massachusetts General on New Year's Eve 2022 after she disclosed intrusive thoughts about the children. She was moved to McLean in the early hours of January 1 and discharged five days later, on January 5, after asking to leave.

    Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, who ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, work through what that decision rested on.

    Patrick testified he did not know she had requested the discharge. He said he was not aware she had been offered daily one-on-one therapy, and not aware she had declined further group sessions. He described visiting and hearing that it did not seem like she was getting treatment, with a weekend and an observed holiday delaying her first appointment with a doctor.

    The reason she wanted out was her daughter's fifth birthday party. It was held on January 7. Cora died on January 24.

    Dreeke spent twenty-one years determining whether people were telling him the truth about their own minds, often when they had every reason not to. He explains the limits of what any clinician can confirm when a patient reports the danger has passed.

    The circumstances of the three deaths are not in dispute. The trial is about criminal responsibility, and the state has to prove it.

    The people who made that call are expected to appear as witnesses. None of them is a defendant, and that is worth holding onto as the medical testimony begins.

    Was That Really One Of Lindsay Clancy's Best Days? Jul 29, 2026
    Show notes

    "She was having one of her best days." That is how Patrick Clancy described January 24, 2023 to the jury deciding whether his ex-wife is criminally responsible for the deaths of their three children.

    He described a morning where Dawson dressed himself for the first time and the parents texted photos back and forth, Lindsay from a pediatric appointment with Cora. He described the snowman in the yard that afternoon and the art projects after it. He said she had been back at the gym and sleeping better.

    Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, who ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, work through what a day like that is worth as evidence.

    The Commonwealth is building on it. Assistant District Attorney Shanan Buckingham told jurors this was not a woman in the throes of psychosis, and pointed to competence and normalcy that day as proof of a mind that understood itself. The defense has to make the same hours mean something else.

    The episode also covers what prosecutors say followed. A route mapped between home, a restaurant the family had never ordered from, and a CVS. Searches for takeout and children's medicine. An errand that took Patrick out of the house.

    Dreeke spent a career reading people in their worst moments, and his answer on what a good day indicates is not the comfortable one for either side.

    Cora, Dawson and Callan died that evening. The trial is about what was happening in their mother's mind, and the state has to prove it.

    The trial is expected to run six to eight weeks, with a witness list of nearly two hundred names and competing psychiatric experts still ahead.

    What D4vd Wanted To Know About Celeste's Pregnancy Jul 29, 2026
    Show notes

    There was one thing David Anthony Burke wanted to know about Celeste Rivas Hernandez's pregnancy, and a detective read his exact words to a Los Angeles courtroom. That is where the d4vd preliminary hearing arrived in its July 24 session, and it is the material this episode walks through in full. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was eleven when the messages with David Anthony Burke began in August 2022. By January 2024, the texts indicate she was pregnant, days from a procedure, telling an adult that neither of them could care for a baby. His reply carried a laugh. His follow-up asked when she would get it done. And his last question in the exchange, the one he said his mother told him to ask, got an answer with his own name in it. Detective Corey Farell, the prosecution's final witness, put all of it on the record, along with nearly fifty images from Burke's devices that investigators labeled illegal material involving a minor, described to the court but never displayed. Earlier in the session, Dr. Grant Ho testified that Celeste died from two sharp-force wounds, and that the condition of her remains left questions no examination can settle. Her parents stepped out for the autopsy testimony. They came back for the texts. Her mother cried, and her father looked down. Prosecutors say the fingers missing from Celeste's hand carried a tattoo of Burke's name in red ink, and they wrote in a brief that they believe that is why the fingers were gone. Burke has pleaded not guilty to every charge, his attorneys challenged the evidence at every step, and the bindover ruling arrives when the hearing closes. This is the full account of the day the texts became public, and the day this case stopped being about a Tesla.

    D4vd And The Siders: A Judge Approved WHAT?! Jul 29, 2026
    Show notes

    The connection between these two cases is not the crime. It is the signature. Ohio put a marriage license in front of a judge for a fifteen-year-old who was seven months pregnant, and it was approved. California deputies documented telling David Burke how old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was, and filed it.

    Everything in one place: the d4vd evidence conversation, the David Burke origin conversation, and the Siders 16 kids conversation with retired FBI special agent Robin Dreeke.

    Start in a Los Angeles courtroom, where an LAPD criminalist described spraying a Hollywood Hills garage and watching the floor mats react, then the bricks underneath. Then a rowing machine, a green tarp, a charging cord, and a trash bag holding wipes and a scrap of fabric. A blue inflatable pool that looked untouched still produced a glow, and a second criminalist fitted plastic fragments from the autopsy into the cuts in it. Blair Berk went at everything nobody swabbed, nobody collected, nobody compared. Tony and Robin make the defense answer for every item.

    Then the harder question. Who was David Burke before any of it? Homeschooled after seventh grade. A social life built on screens. A record deal at seventeen. An alter ego named Itami, described in his own words as an agent of chaos, who commits murders in his videos.

    Then Ohio. Sixteen children, eighteen months to eighteen years, removed from a house in Hamden after a warrant tied to an unrelated matter. A room the sheriff said measured roughly twelve by twelve. An attorney general who said waiting longer would very likely have meant a death or multiple deaths. Four adults charged with sixteen counts of endangering children apiece. All four pleaded not guilty.

    Different states, different worlds, one identical failure sitting in the middle of both files.

    Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old.

    Nolan Wells' 911 Call Friends Said WHAT? Jul 28, 2026
    Show notes

    The Nolan Wells 911 call opens with the strangest soundtrack imaginable: cheerful hold music playing over the commotion of a boat taking on water. Tony plays the uncut audio from start to finish and examines what is happening underneath it.

    Before the dispatcher ever picks up, the recording is already rolling — and that stretch of tape has become the most dissected audio in the case. Under the music, voices overlap. Some listeners swear one of them, a female voice, is asking a question that has nothing to do with a bilge pump. Others have looped the identical seconds and heard only wind, movement, and chaos. The recording does not settle it. Which is exactly why it keeps spreading.

    The verified content is chaotic enough on its own. A young caller reports the boat sinking at the west tip of Horn Island and begs the dispatcher to send help. He struggles through membership questions. He shouts instructions to the owner of another boat — jump in and pull the plug while you're going. Asked whether everyone aboard is accounted for and in good health, the answer is yes. Seven people.

    Nolan Wells had been seen on the island about an hour earlier. He was not on the boat, and his friends say that was his choice — a girl, another ride home. His parents say he was raised never to separate from his group. Two days later he was found in the water near the island.

    With both autopsies unresolved — the family's undetermined, the state's sealed for a grand jury — the tape is what exists. Tony takes it one moment at a time and holds the disputed seconds up to the light.
