  • Kevin Franke: Manipulated Victim or Willing Bystander? The Psychology Behind ‘Devil in the Family’ | 2025 True Crime

    Kevin Franke: Manipulated Victim or Willing Bystander? The Psychology Behind ‘Devil in the Family’ | 2025 True Crime
    Jan 4 2026
    Was Kevin Franke a victim of psychological manipulation — or a bystander who found it easier not to look too closely? In this gripping Hidden Killers deep dive, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott analyze one of the most troubling dynamics explored in Hulu’s Devil in the Family: a father who insists he never recognized the abuse happening under his own roof.

    The episode begins with the psychology of Kevin’s denial. How does a spouse convince themselves that extreme parenting is “discipline” rather than danger? Shavaun Scott breaks down the mechanisms of thought-reform, coercive influence, and the slow erosion of intuition. And then the most haunting question of all: what makes a father step away from his own children for an entire year because an outside “guru” told him to?

    But the story doesn’t end with the collapse of the Franke family. Kevin recently announced his engagement, just six months after finalizing his divorce from Ruby — who is now serving a possible 30-year prison sentence for aggravated child abuse. The public reaction has been split: is this healing, deflection, or strategic rebranding?

    Tony and Shavaun examine the psychology of rapid re-partnering after trauma, the desire to rewrite personal identity, and the fine line between moving forward and bypassing accountability. We also explore Kevin’s recent support of Utah’s new “child influencer” law — a step toward protecting children exploited in monetized online content. His testimony was powerful, but does it reconcile the years he stood behind a camera while harmful parenting was broadcast to millions?

    This episode asks the hardest questions:
    Was Kevin controlled — or complicit?
    Is he rebuilding — or rebranding?
    And what does accountability look like for the children who had no choice?

  • Wendi Freezes, Robert Speaks: The Adelson Kids Break Silence | 2025 True Crime

    Wendi Freezes, Robert Speaks: The Adelson Kids Break Silence | 2025 True Crime
    Jan 2 2026
    In today’s explosive Hidden Killers breakdown, we examine the testimony that has completely reshaped the Donna Adelson trial — testimony not from police, not from experts, but from Donna’s own children, whose words now carry some of the greatest weight in the courtroom.

    First, we turn to Wendi Adelson, whose strategy has the courtroom buzzing. While her brother Robert delivered blunt, precise answers, Wendi leaned heavily on one phrase:
    “I don’t remember.”
     Again. And again. And again.

    But is this selective memory a trauma response from years of family pressure, manipulation, and emotional control?
    Or is it a carefully crafted shield — a strategic fog meant to protect herself, the family, and possibly Donna?

    Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to dissect Wendi’s demeanor in real time, explaining how adult children of dominant or narcissistic parents often split — one breaking free and telling the truth, the other staying entangled in loyalty, denial, or fear. Jurors watch every pause. Every hesitation. Every dodge. And Shavaun breaks down exactly what those signals mean.

    Then we shift to Robert Adelson, whose testimony landed like a hammer. Clinical. Direct. Brutally honest. He described Donna’s controlling tendencies, her intrusion into major life decisions, and her eerie lack of concern after Dan Markel’s murder. His words were not defensive. They were revelatory.

    Defense Attorney Eric Faddis joins Tony to analyze how jurors absorb testimony when it comes straight from a defendant’s own children — one distancing herself through “I don’t remember,” the other stepping into the sunlight with uncomfortable truth.

    Is this character evidence — or is it motive crystallized?
    Are we watching a family fracture, or a family finally telling the truth about its own internal gravity?

    This isn’t just testimony.
    This is the Adelson family dynamic cracked open in front of a jury — loyalty, fear, denial, resentment, and survival all colliding in real time.

  • Kohberger's Sham Remorse Exposed: Was His Guilty Plea Just Twisted Pride? Experts Spill All! | 2025 True Crime

    Kohberger's Sham Remorse Exposed: Was His Guilty Plea Just Twisted Pride? Experts Spill All! | 2025 True Crime
    Dec 30 2025
    🔍 Unmask the chilling void inside Bryan Kohberger as psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke dissect his narcissistic psyche and "proud" courtroom confession – in this explosive recap from Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review – a look back at the biggest cases of the year. Locked in four life sentences after his July 2025 guilty plea, Kohberger's dead-eyed stare and fidgety eagerness screamed anything but regret: Experts call it grandiosity-fueled basking, a psychopath's crave for spotlight over the #Idaho4 graves he dug. From criminology obsessions morphing into vengeful stabs to lifelong isolation breeding zero empathy, we probe the wiring—childhood bullying, heroin haze, and a god-complex that botched his "perfect" escape with sheath DNA and Amazon slips.

    This Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski: True Crime Today fusion rips open the plea facade: No tears of sorrow, just calculated dodges from the firing squad, echoing BTK's fame chase. Scott flags red flags like violent fantasies and social shutdowns ignored at WSU; Dreeke warns of his prison power plays, where he'll manipulate for eternal infamy. Tie it to November 2025 shocks—the Goncalves' WSU lawsuit slamming overlooked creeps, plus restitution drags over $30K funds and urn costs post-November 5 hearing, fueling cries for campus safeguards.

    True crime fiends, this is the gut-punch autopsy: A killer's empty shell craving study sessions over soul-searching. Did his "I did it" thrill him more than terrify? Essential rewind on arrogance's deadly cost and dodged executions in the Idaho nightmare.
