Second Suspect Identified: Digital Trail Reveals New Player in the D4VD Case

A bombshell revelation from attorney Mark Geragos has shifted the entire landscape of the Celeste Rivas Hernandez investigation: according to him, LAPD has identified a second suspect. Not the killer — but someone allegedly involved before, during, and after Celeste’s death, including the disposal and possible dismemberment of her body. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down what investigators uncovered — and how they uncovered it. Geragos says cellphone data, Tesla GPS, and social-media location tracking created a digital trail accurate “almost to the minute.” One key focus: a late-night trip to a remote area of Santa Barbara County, where investigators believe D4VD spent nearly two hours… and wasn’t alone. If a second suspect was with him during that trip, that changes everything. Coffindaffer explains: – How investigators triangulate cell towers, GPS logs, and app metadata – Why Tesla vehicles are digital goldmines for forensic teams – What physical evidence might still exist months later in a remote area – How prosecutors flip secondary suspects with cooperation deals – How freezer storage, disposal access, and vehicle movements elevate legal liability We also explore the possibility that the second suspect parked the Tesla on July 29th — the same day D4VD left for tour — and what that would mean about their role, loyalty, and exposure. With a grand jury active, digital evidence mounting, and a second suspect reportedly identified, the case is shifting from “What happened?” to “Who helped?” #D4VDCase #CelesteRivas #SecondSuspect #DigitalForensics #TeslaData #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrimePodcast #LegalBreakdown Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were found dead in their Brentwood home on Sunday, December 14, 2025. Both had their throats slit. Their daughter Romy discovered the bodies and immediately told police that a family member was responsible — and that he was "dangerous." Hours later, their 32-year-old son Nick Reiner was arrested near USC and booked on suspicion of murder. He's now being held without bail. But here's what makes this story even more disturbing: the night before the killings, Rob, Michele, and Nick attended a Christmas party at Conan O'Brien's house. Witnesses say Nick was acting erratically — staring at people, interrupting conversations, freaking out guests. Then he got into a loud argument with his father. Loud enough for the whole party to hear. Rob and Michele left afterward. Less than 24 hours later, they were dead. Nick Reiner has a documented history of severe drug addiction going back to age 15. He went through 17 rehab programs. He was homeless in three different states. In 2015, he co-wrote a semi-autobiographical film with his father called Being Charlie about his struggles with addiction. Rob Reiner called it the most personal project he ever made. Sources say Michele had been telling friends for months that she and Rob were at their "wits' end" with Nick's mental health and substance abuse issues. Her words: "We've tried everything." This is a story about a Hollywood legend, a family in crisis, and a system that gives parents almost no options when their adult children are spiraling. The Reiners had money, connections, and access to the best treatment available. None of it was enough. In this video, we break down everything we know — the timeline, the party, the arrest, Nick's history, and what comes next as the case heads to the LA County District Attorney. #RobReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #NickReiner #Brentwood #Hollywood #TrueCrime #BeingCharlie #ConanOBrien #LAPD #BreakingNews #CelebrityCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The investigation into the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez has reached a critical turning point. A Los Angeles County grand jury is now hearing testimony from individuals directly connected to singer D4VD, and the cracks in his inner circle are starting to show. This week, Robert Morgenroth, the general manager of D4VD's record label and president of his touring company, spent three days being grilled by Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman. According to reports, Morgenroth was heard in the courthouse hallway telling his attorney that Silverman was aggressive in questioning why he never contacted police after learning a decomposing body had been discovered in his client's Tesla.  His reported response was that he wanted to continue with the tour. Meanwhile, a second witness connected to the case allegedly refused to appear before the grand jury, prompting the DA to seek a body attachment order to arrest and compel testimony. The witness is represented by the same attorney as Morgenroth, suggesting she may be part of D4VD's inner circle. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was just 13 years old when she was reported missing from Lake Elsinore, California in April 2024.  Her dismembered remains were discovered in the trunk of D4VD's abandoned Tesla in September 2025, one day after what would have been her 15th birthday. LAPD has officially identified D4VD as a suspect, and investigators have reportedly identified a second suspect believed to have assisted in the disposal of her body. Sources say the case has been built using cellphone data, Tesla GPS logs, and social media location tracking. Despite early claims of cooperation, D4VD has reportedly been uncooperative since the start of the investigation and has remained silent on all public platforms. The grand jury proceedings continue. #D4VD #CelesteRivas #TrueCrime #GrandJury #LAPD #CelesteRivasHernandez #JusticeForCeleste #RobertMorgenroth #HollywoodHills #TrueCrimeNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The grand jury investigating the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez has entered its third week — and the pressure inside that room is reaching a breaking point. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins me to break down the newest developments as the people closest to D4VD begin to fracture under questioning. This week, Robert Morgenroth — general manager of D4VD’s record label and president of his touring company — spent three straight days testifying. Three days for a non-target witness is extraordinary, and it signals something major: prosecutors believe he knows far more than he’s letting on. According to reports, he told courthouse staff that Deputy DA Beth Silverman was “pushy” about why he never called police after learning a decomposing body had been found in his artist’s car. His alleged explanation? He didn’t think it was his responsibility. He just wanted to keep the tour going. Meanwhile, another female witness reportedly refused to appear for her grand jury subpoena — prompting prosecutors to seek a body attachment order, essentially authorizing law enforcement to detain her and bring her to the stand. She’s represented by the same attorney as Morgenroth, raising big questions about coordination behind the scenes. Coffindaffer walks us through what these moves really mean: – Why long testimony = prosecutors digging for inconsistencies – What liability witnesses face when they withhold critical information – Why refusal to appear can trigger aggressive enforcement – How resistance and fear inside the inner circle often signal far more beneath the surface This isn’t just testimony — this is a pressure campaign. And the cracks are widening. #D4VD #CelesteRivas #JenniferCoffindaffer #GrandJury #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast #WitnessTampering #LegalAnalysis #JusticeForCeleste Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three cases. Three firestorms. One attorney who cuts through the noise. In this extended episode, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins me to break down the legal chaos surrounding the Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning, the explosive allegations linking Diddy to the murders of Tupac and Biggie, and the mysterious cruise-ship death of 18-year-old Anna Kepner, where a 16-year-old stepbrother is the named suspect — yet no charges have been filed. Part One: Diddy vs. Netflix We look at the cease-and-desist letter, the “stolen footage” accusations, and why Diddy hasn’t filed the billion-dollar lawsuit he threatened. Eric explains the hurdles of copyright ownership, the brutal reality of defamation law for public figures, and how anti-SLAPP statutes could turn the whole thing back on Diddy. We also break down why 50 Cent’s decades-long feud with Diddy isn’t enough to create legal exposure on its own. Part Two: Tupac & Biggie Allegations Keefe D named Diddy 47 times across interviews. Kirk Burrowes says Diddy “ushered Biggie to his death.” Former LAPD detective Greg Kading lays out timelines and motive theories. But accusations do not equal evidence. Eric explains why none of this has triggered criminal charges, what prosecutors would actually need, and whether future cooperation deals could change the landscape. Part Three: The Anna Kepner Case A death at sea. A teenage suspect identified in legal filings, not by investigators. Conflicting family narratives, witnesses claiming aggression and chokeholds, and an FBI investigation happening entirely out of sight. Eric breaks down why the silence may be strategic, how federal cases involving minors unfold, and what the legal roadmap looks like behind closed doors. This episode pulls together the legal, psychological, and forensic threads of three highly complicated cases — and gives listeners a grounded, real-world understanding of what justice looks like when the spotlight is this bright. #DiddyCase #TupacAndBiggie #AnnaKepner #EricFaddis #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast #LegalAnalysis #NetflixDocumentary #TrueCrimeDiscussion Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eighteen-year-old Anna Kepner died aboard a cruise ship. Her sixteen-year-old stepbrother has been identified as the suspect — not by police, not by the FBI, but through explosive court filings in a custody battle. The family acknowledges it. Witnesses describe aggression, chokeholds, and a dynamic the adults claim they never saw. And still: no charges. So what does this silence actually signal? Former prosecutor Eric Faddis explains why federal investigations move slowly, why cruise-ship deaths fall under complex jurisdictional rules, and what benchmarks investigators need before they pursue homicide charges involving a minor. We examine the digital trail (key-card logs, surveillance, onboard data), the fracture within the family, and how contradicting statements influence a prosecutor’s strategy. Eric also walks through what a defense attorney would be doing right now behind the scenes — protecting a juvenile client, anticipating transfer hearings, and preparing for the moment charges finally drop. We discuss why custody documents are revealing more than the FBI, why investigators might be intentionally delaying charges, and what it means when a case hinges on both forensic evidence and family testimony. This case is quiet — too quiet — and Eric breaks down exactly what silence means in federal law. #AnnaKepner #CruiseShipCase #EricFaddis #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #TonyBrueski #FederalInvestigation #LegalAnalysis #JusticeForAnna #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Netflix documentary doesn’t stop at abuse allegations — it dives straight into the two most infamous unsolved murders in music history: Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. With Keefe D now awaiting trial in Nevada, statements resurfacing from decades past, and former associates like Kirk Burrowes making explosive claims, many viewers are asking the same question: Is there any world where Diddy faces criminal charges? Defense attorney Eric Faddis breaks down exactly why these allegations haven’t resulted in charges and what prosecutors actually need before they put anyone — especially a high-profile figure — in front of a grand jury. We examine Keefe D’s interviews, his credibility problems, and the challenge of using a witness whose own confessions may undermine his reliability. Eric walks through the Burrowes journals, the allegations involving Eric “Von Zip” Martin, the cross-state car movements, and the claims of hidden compartments. Is any of that enough to reopen a cold case? Or is it circumstantial at best? We also explore whether acquittals in unrelated federal cases influence prosecutorial willingness to pursue old allegations, whether civil wrongful-death suits are still possible, and whether a future cooperation deal from Keefe D could implicate anyone else — including Diddy. We end on a crucial point: In criminal law, accusations alone mean nothing. Evidence is everything. #Diddy #Tupac #Biggie #EricFaddis #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #TonyBrueski #HipHopHistory #LegalBreakdown #ColdCaseAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Charity Powell-Beallis spent nine months fighting for her life in the Arkansas court system. She reported that her husband strangled her in front of their children. She filed for divorce. She sought full custody. She told a state senator she feared for her life. She posted on Facebook that the system was protecting her abuser while silencing her as the victim. One day after a judge reportedly awarded joint custody to her estranged husband — a doctor with a domestic violence conviction — Charity and her six-year-old twins were found shot to death in their home. When her father called the court the day the bodies were discovered, Judge Shannon Blatt says he told a clerk she "might as well have pulled the trigger herself." The judge filed a police report against him. Randy Powell says he only called to ask if he could see his grandchildren's bodies. This video examines the custody ruling, the documented warning signs the court had access to, and the research showing that strangulation is the number one predictor of domestic violence homicide — increasing a woman's risk of being killed by 750 percent. We also look at the exposed facts that show family courts exposed a pattern where courts reject abuse allegations and award custody to abusive fathers at alarming rates. The investigation into the deaths is ongoing. No suspect has been named. No arrests have been made. We reached out to Judge Blatt's chambers for comment and have not received a response. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24/7: 1-800-799-7233. #CharityBeallis #JudgeShannon Blatt #ArkansasMurder #DomesticViolence #FamilyCourt #CustodyBattle #JudicialAccountability #SystemFailed #TrueCrime #JusticeForCharity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brian Walshe has been convicted of first-degree murder in the death of his wife Ana Walshe, who disappeared on New Year's Day 2023. After just six hours of deliberation, a Norfolk County jury found the 50-year-old Cohasset man guilty of premeditated murder — making this one of the rare cases where a first-degree murder conviction was secured without the victim's body ever being recovered. Ana Walshe, a 39-year-old mother of three who worked as a real estate manager in Washington D.C., was last seen alive in the early morning hours of January 1, 2023, after a New Year's Eve celebration at the family home.  Prosecutors presented devastating digital evidence including Google searches from Brian's devices for "best way to dispose of a body," "hacksaw best tool to dismember," and "how long for someone to be missing to inherit." Surveillance footage showed Walshe purchasing a hacksaw, Tyvek suit, and cleaning supplies at Lowe's on New Year's Day. Investigators recovered blood-stained items from dumpsters including Ana's Hunter boots, pieces of carpet with her DNA, and a hacksaw that tested positive for her blood. The defense argued Ana died suddenly and unexpectedly, sending Brian into a panic — but called zero witnesses and Walshe himself declined to testify. Prosecutors pointed to a $2.7 million life insurance policy, a deteriorating marriage, and Ana's affair with a D.C. realtor as motive.  Sentencing is scheduled for Wednesday where Walshe faces mandatory life in prison without the possibility of parole. Ana's sister released a statement saying simply: "Justice has been served."  #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheVerdict #GuiltyVerdict #TrueCrime #MurderTrial #CohassetMurder #JusticeForAna #FirstDegreeMurder #TrueCrimeNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
