Father Who Saved Daughter From Repeated Predator In Arkansas Is Charged By State

Was Kohberger Stalking OTHER Women & Homes? The Evidence Says YES! In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into one of the most disturbing developments in the Bryan Kohberger case: the growing evidence that the murders in Moscow may not have been his first intrusion—or his last. Recently unsealed documents suggest Kohberger wasn’t just surveilling the King Road house where four University of Idaho students were killed—he may have also entered it before the murders took place. Prosecutors now say he was likely inside the home prior to November 13, 2022, which would explain his eerily precise movements the night of the attack. But it doesn’t end there. We also revisit a chilling 2021 break-in in Pullman, Washington, where a masked man with a knife entered a home full of sleeping sorority members. No one was harmed, but the similarities are impossible to ignore. And if Kohberger was willing to test the waters once... who’s to say that was the only time? Is there a pattern? Are there other homes, other women, other entries that simply went unnoticed? In this episode, we explore how his cell phone data, behavioral patterns, and criminal psychology all point to a man who was practicing long before he acted—and possibly continued even after. This is one you don’t want to miss.

Why Did Austin Drummond Spare The Baby? The Chilling Choice That Shook Tennessee On July 29, 2025, a baby was found abandoned on a stranger’s front porch in rural Tennessee. Hours later, police made a horrific discovery—four members of the child’s family were found murdered. The suspect? 28-year-old Austin Drummond, a man with close ties to the victims. He allegedly slaughtered James Wilson (21), Adrianna Williams (20), Cortney Rose (38), and Braydon Williams (15)—then took the surviving infant and left her alone in a car seat miles away. Why didn’t he kill the baby? This question has haunted the public, police, and psychologists ever since. Was it a moment of mercy? Or something far more twisted? In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down the psychological horror of “selective violence,” where killers choose their victims—and make calculated decisions about who lives and why. We explore theories around survivor guilt, the trauma the child will carry, and how this disturbing case echoes patterns seen in other family annihilation crimes, including the infamous Chris Watts murders. Austin Drummond now faces four counts of first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping, and multiple weapons charges. And three other individuals—Giovonte Thomas, Tanaka Brown, and Dearrah Sanders—have been charged as accessories after the fact for allegedly helping Drummond evade capture. The details are heartbreaking. The questions are terrifying. And the reality is this: a child will grow up knowing that she was spared by someone who erased her entire family. This is the story of what happened, what it means, and why the silence surrounding that baby’s survival is the loudest part of all.

Devils Den EXCLUSIVE - He Asked About My Daughter, Woman With Close Ties To Andrew McGann Speaks Out Before Andrew McGann was accused of committing a brutal double homicide at Devil’s Den, he was sitting quietly in a salon chair, chatting about cats, complimenting a teenager’s soccer photo, and asking for a Brazilian blowout. In this exclusive interview, we speak with Katie—a seasoned hair stylist who saw McGann several times in the months leading up to the murders. What she shares is unsettling not because he did anything overtly threatening, but because of how utterly normal he seemed… until he wasn’t. Katie walks us through their first appointment in early 2024, describing McGann as quiet but chatty, oddly intense in photographs, and unusually curious about her daughter. He never crossed a hard line—but he hovered near them. There were awkward smiles, strange timing, and a final unplanned visit just weeks before his arrest—showing up unannounced after hours, asking for a haircut when no one else was around. It didn’t feel wrong… but it didn’t feel quite right either. This conversation dives into what it means to look back through the lens of hindsight. Katie didn’t know who she was looking at then—but now, she can’t forget his face. From his alleged inappropriate comments in the classroom to the moment she saw his mugshot while scrolling Facebook, this interview pieces together a chilling narrative of missed signals and public normalcy. In the wake of the Devil’s Den murders, questions swirl around how McGann was able to move from school to school, evade accountability, and remain unnoticed in communities that now feel betrayed. This interview offers a vital piece of that puzzle—a candid look at the kind of man who doesn’t seem dangerous… until the mask slips.

Father Who Saved Daughter From Repeated Predator In Arkansas Is Charged By State Description: In a state that claims to protect families and value justice, a father now finds himself facing a murder trial for doing what the courts failed to do: protect his child. Aaron Spencer acted when no one else would—when the predator who had been accused of sexually abusing his 14-year-old daughter was not only released but allegedly came back for her. And for his actions, the state of Arkansas is charging him with second-degree murder. Defense attorney Bob Motta returns to outline why this case matters far beyond one family or one courtroom. In this conversation, we explore how this case has exposed systemic failures—from weak bail policies to baffling prosecutorial decisions. We look at Arkansas’s stand-your-ground and defense-of-others laws, and why they should apply. And we ask the deeper question: is this prosecution about justice—or about protecting a broken system from scrutiny? With public outrage growing and the Arkansas Supreme Court already forced to strike down a sweeping gag order, the spotlight is now on a DA’s office that seems more concerned with silencing criticism than seeking truth. If a predator walks free and a parent gets charged for stepping in, what does that say about the values of the people making these decisions? This episode pulls no punches. The facts are shocking. The implications are terrifying. And if justice doesn’t course-correct soon, it’s not just Aaron Spencer who stands to lose—it’s every family who still believes the system is supposed to protect them. #AaronSpencer #ArkansasJustice #BobMotta #TrueCrimeAlert #ChildSafety #HiddenKillers #FatherVsSystem #SelfDefenseLaw #DAOverreach #PublicOutrage Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What Netflix Didn’t Explain About Amy Lynn Bradley’s Disappearance   What happened to Amy Lynn Bradley? In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dive headfirst into the now-viral Netflix documentary on Amy Lynn Bradley—but this time, we break down the actual timeline of events with hard questions and zero sensationalism. Amy Bradley vanished from her cruise ship cabin balcony just before sunrise in 1998. Her father saw her sleeping at 5:15 AM. By 6:00 AM, she was gone. No shoes, no ID, no credit card. Just a pack of cigarettes and a lighter missing. Royal Caribbean waited over an hour to make a public announcement. Passengers disembarked. Her cabin was cleaned. And still—no sign of her. Tony and Carol Hughes walk through the timeline minute-by-minute, unpacking what Royal Caribbean knew, when they knew it, and whether their response was a reasonable procedural delay—or the first link in a chain of catastrophic oversights. Could she have gone overboard? Did she walk off the ship with help? Could someone have taken her through a crew passage undetected? And if it was your loved one—would you accept that answer? We examine the "vanish point," question whether disembarkation made the search better or worse, and challenge the theory that Royal Caribbean did “everything they could.” Spoiler: it’s complicated. Whether you're new to the Amy Lynn Bradley case or already deep in the rabbit hole, this is where we strip away the filler and get to the truth behind the timeline. And it’s a hell of a lot messier than the documentary lets on.

Big Breakdown How Devils Den Accused Andrew McGann's Predatory Behavior Was Passed From School To School How did accused Devil's Den killer Andrew McGann repeatedly slip through the cracks of multiple school districts despite numerous warnings about his alarming behavior? Tony Brueski presents a critical breakdown exploring how systemic failures within school districts allowed McGann’s predatory behavior to quietly persist, shuttled from state to state without intervention. Revealing startling examples of internal investigations, withheld reports, and administrative silence, this deep dive exposes how loopholes and legal gaps may have tragically contributed to the Devil's Den murders. This episode is essential listening, shining a harsh light on the dangerous flaws that continue to put communities at risk.

The Kouri Richins Case EXPOSED - The Jailhouse Letter and the War Over Narrative Description: She wrote a grief book for her kids. Then prosecutors say she wrote a jailhouse letter to her mom instructing how to lie on the stand. In this episode, Eric Faddis helps us dissect one of the strangest pieces of evidence in the Kouri Richins case—the infamous “Walk the Dog” letter. Was it witness tampering? A poorly executed cover-up? Or, as the defense claims, just a draft of a fictional story? We explore how this single piece of writing could radically shift how jurors interpret Kouri’s credibility—and whether it signals guilt or desperation. Faddis brings prosecutorial insight into how this letter fits into a pattern: the narrative of a woman allegedly trying to reframe her husband's death, control public perception, and rewrite reality. We also explore how the court has handled similar “fiction vs. confession” claims in high-profile cases—and what the jury is likely to believe. It’s not just about whether she poisoned her husband. It’s about whether she tried to script her innocence in real time—and if the jury will see through it.

Classroom Coverup: Coach's Sick Comments Exposed - Texas Football's Twisted Cover-Up! Get ready for a jaw-dropping look at how Texas high school football culture shields predators in a way that will leave you furious and demanding change! We spotlight Kip McFarlin, a high school football coach at Orangefield Independent School District in East Texas during the mid-2000s, accused by six female students in 2005 of using sexually suggestive language, making lewd remarks in class and during practices, and telling one teenage girl that he'd date her if she weren't a student. These weren't isolated quips; reports described a pattern of inappropriate comments that made the girls feel uncomfortable, objectified, and unsafe, like joking about their bodies or implying romantic interest in ways that crossed every professional boundary. Parents got involved, alerting administrators and pushing for action, but the district's response was tepid at best—they investigated internally but instead of reporting to authorities or revoking his credentials as required under Texas mandatory reporting laws for reasonable suspicion of abuse, they allowed what officials later called a "graceful exit." McFarlin resigned quietly, receiving a neutral recommendation letter that omitted any mention of the allegations, essentially wiping his slate clean to move on without consequence. This decision wasn't made in a vacuum; it reflected the intense pressures districts face in football-crazed Texas, where coaches are often treated like local heroes, and firing one outright could invite union battles, defamation claims if the evidence wasn't ironclad, or community backlash that disrupts seasons and booster funding. So McFarlin walked away with his teaching certificate intact, free to seek new opportunities without any red flags following him. Fast forward to 2008: He lands a coaching job at Port Arthur Independent School District, about 20 miles away in the same region, after passing a background check that came up empty because Orangefield hadn't documented or shared the complaints. For three years, he taught and coached without incident—or at least none reported—but in 2011, the other shoe dropped: McFarlin was accused of having sex with a 16-year-old female student from his school. The relationship allegedly started with grooming—flirty texts, special attention during class—and escalated to multiple sexual encounters that exploited his position of authority. The victim came forward, leading to his arrest on charges of sexual assault of a child and improper relationship between educator and student, both felonies under Texas law. The trial revealed damning evidence, including witness testimonies and communications that showed McFarlin abusing his role, resulting in his conviction in 2012 and an eight-year prison sentence, plus lifelong sex offender registration. But the story didn't end there—the victim's family sued both districts in 2013 under the case Truong v. Orangefield Independent School District, alleging negligence for "passing the trash" and enabling the abuse at Port Arthur through their silence. They argued Orangefield's neutral reference hid the 2005 complaints, putting their daughter directly in harm's way. While the exact settlement amount wasn't publicized, such cases often result in substantial payouts—similar to the millions seen in other Texas abuse suits—and the litigation highlighted Texas' pre-2017 gaps in reporting laws, where "boundary violations" weren't always flagged as abuse.  McFarlin's case didn't happen in isolation; it's emblematic of Texas' long-standing issues with educator misconduct, a state with one of the highest rates of teacher-student sexual relationships in the country, with over 2,500 charges since 2017 alone according to Texas Education Agency data, yet thousands more cases end in "administrative separations"—quiet resignations without charges or reports that allow predators to relocate. A 2016 USA Today Network investigation, which featured McFarlin prominently, uncovered hundreds of similar instances nationwide, where abusers hopped jobs after cover-ups, and in Texas, the probe revealed districts like Orangefield prioritizing reputation over safety, especially in sports programs where coaches wield outsized influence and football is king. Parents and victims in McFarlin's orbit have shared gut-wrenching stories of the lasting impact: The 16-year-old from Port Arthur endured not just the abuse but the trauma of testifying in court, facing cross-examination that questioned her credibility—a common tactic in these cases that revictimizes survivors—and dealing with lifelong trust issues, anxiety, and relationship difficulties that stem from the betrayal.  Back in Orangefield, the six girls from 2005 felt validated by the conviction but frustrated that their warnings went unheeded, with one anonymous victim telling reporters she felt "dismissed" when administrators downplayed her complaints as "misunderstandings," a minimization that's a hallmark of "passing the trash" where districts label behaviors as "poor judgment" rather than potential grooming to avoid mandatory reporting. This case ties directly to the series themes: Like the coaching abuses in Oregon's St. Helens scandal (Episode 8) or the multi-state shuffles in Gregor's story (Episode 5). The fallout was significant—McFarlin served his sentence and was released on parole around 2020, but his case catalyzed change, contributing to Texas Senate Bill 7 in 2017, which cracked down on educator-student relationships by expanding investigations, toughening penalties (up to 20 years for felonies), and mandating disclosures of prior misconduct during hiring. Governor Greg Abbott signed it, calling it a step to "protect our children from predators," but as we saw in Episode 2 with McGann, gaps remain in enforcement.  On X, parents rage about "coach worship" in Texas, sharing stats like the 429 educator arrests for child sex crimes from 2014-2018 and calling for zero tolerance.

Was Monster-Teacher Andrew McGann After The Brinks Two Children At Devils Den, FBI Expert Vet Thinks So Was the Devil’s Den killer really after the parents—or was it the children he wanted? In this chilling installment of Hidden Killers, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to explore whether the true target in the Devil’s Den double homicide was actually the victims’ two young daughters. McGann, a former teacher with a dark and questionable past, showed behavioral patterns that raise alarming questions. Coffindaffer draws on her background in behavioral profiling to explore how predators may fixate on perceived vulnerabilities and what the details of the attack—especially the sequence and victim selection—may reveal about the killer’s true intentions. McGann's teaching history, potential prior misconduct, and proximity to children through professional roles are examined with brutal clarity. We also revisit the crime scene timeline, including what the children reportedly witnessed, and how their actions may have prevented an even worse tragedy. Did McGann have a pattern? Was this part of a larger fantasy or fixation? Or was this the moment he acted on something long suppressed? This episode asks the tough, terrifying questions—and you’ll want to hear what our expert has to say.

Was This Kohberger’s Dry Run? The Forgotten Home Invasion in Pullman In this chilling episode of Hidden Killers, we peel back the layers of an unsolved mystery that may have been a terrifying prelude to the University of Idaho murders. On October 10, 2021—more than a year before Bryan Kohberger was arrested for the brutal stabbings in Moscow—a college student in Pullman, Washington woke up to a masked man standing silently at the foot of her bed… holding a knife. The masked intruder didn’t speak. He didn’t steal anything. He simply stared—until the student kicked him in the stomach, sending him fleeing into the night. Police arrived to find no trace. No evidence. Just a shaken survivor and a trail gone cold. Fast forward to late 2022, and Bryan Kohberger is in custody, charged with the murder of four college students less than 10 miles away. That’s when investigators reopened the 2021 Pullman case—and what they found sent a chill down everyone’s spine. The timing, the M.O., the house layout, the silence, the mask—it all felt too familiar. In this episode, we break the story down segment by segment: from the night of the attack, to the eerie parallels with the Idaho murders, to the question of whether Kohberger was in town before his move to Pullman. We examine the behavioral psychology behind escalation, “dry runs,” and criminal fantasy—and we ask the question: If this wasn’t Kohberger, then who the hell was it? This is the story of a break-in that almost no one remembers—until you realize it might have been the beginning of something much darker.
