Chad Daybell’s Excommunication & Whitney Houston Obsession

Father Chases Down Predator After Daughter Vanishes: The Aaron Spencer Story What would you do if a known predator — already charged with dozens of crimes against your child — kidnapped your daughter in the middle of the night? This segment dives into the real-life nightmare of Aaron Spencer, a father from Arkansas who allegedly did what many say they would’ve done: he took action. After 67-year-old Michael Foster — accused of sexually abusing Spencer’s 14-year-old daughter — was released on a shockingly low $5,000 bond, Foster reportedly returned and abducted the girl again. That’s when Aaron jumped into his truck, found them, and confronted the man. What happened next is now at the center of a murder case. Tony Brueski and defense attorney Bob Motta walk through the emotional and legal landscape of this case. Is this murder — or self-defense? What makes this situation different from vigilante justice? And why is the father being prosecuted while the system failed to protect his daughter? This isn’t just a case. It’s a reckoning.

Full Breakdown: Chad Daybell’s Erotic Letters & Religious Meltdown It’s one of the strangest and most disturbing cases in modern true crime — and this is the full breakdown you’ve been waiting for. In this special full-length Hidden Killers episode, we bring you the entire Chad Daybell saga in one place. Tony Bruski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels read through Chad’s erotic prison love letters to Lori Vallow — in his own AI-generated voice — with music, tone, and dramatic flair. The result is a mind-bending experience that feels like fan fiction from another dimension. We cover every surreal phrase, from “translated beings” to “loin fire,” and react in real time with insight, satire, and genuine discomfort. Then, the tone shifts — Chad’s later letter from prison paints himself as a misunderstood prophet, recounting his excommunication and spiritual loneliness… soundtracked, oddly, by Whitney Houston. Attorney Bob Motta joins to offer legal and psychological context, helping us understand what these letters reveal about Chad Daybell’s mindset — and the disturbing consequences of unchecked delusion. This is the full ride. Buckle up.

Chad Daybell’s Excommunication & Whitney Houston Obsession Just when you think Chad Daybell’s story can’t get stranger… it does. In this third installment, we pivot from prophetic romance to spiritual self-pity as Chad shifts into martyr mode. Through another handwritten prison letter, Chad describes his LDS mission, the persecution he claims to have faced, and ultimately, his excommunication from the church — which he says he learned about through a form letter delivered late by jail staff. But the truly surreal moment? Chad claims he had a deep spiritual awakening while listening to Whitney Houston’s “So Emotional.” Yes, really. Tony, Stacy, and special guest Bob Motta break it all down — from the narcissistic tone of Chad’s self-defense, to the psychological profile of someone who weaponizes religion as both shield and sword. Bob brings in legal insight, comparing Chad’s behavior to other high-control defendants who shape reality to fit their needs. Is Chad deluded… or dangerous? The segment ends on a chilling final comment from Bob: “Even if there’s a universe where Chad didn’t kill anyone... not very likely.” Hashtags:  #ChadDaybell #LoriVallow #WhitneyHouston #SoEmotional #Excommunication #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #TonyBruski #BobMotta #CultBehavior Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Spiritual Seduction & Strange Beliefs: Inside Chad Daybell’s “Eternal Love” What happens when delusion, desire, and doomsday prophecies collide? In this second chapter of the Chad Daybell letter series, we go deeper into his handwritten “James and Elena” saga — and things get even more surreal. The letter, delivered via AI narration and dramatic music, recounts Chad and Lori’s supposed past lives, divine blessings during romantic moments, and a God-sanctioned mission that somehow includes hotel room intimacy and spiritual “cleaving.” Tony, Stacy, and Todd react in real-time to some of the strangest romantic writing ever put to paper. The commentary is sharp, emotional, and hilarious — especially when Stacy shares how her maintenance guys walked in during a particularly awkward passage. It’s one of those stories that has to be heard to be believed. But underneath the bizarre phrases and spiritual flirtation lies something darker: the use of religion and prophecy to justify obsession, control, and ultimately — destruction. This segment bridges the absurd and the disturbing, and sets the stage for the unraveling of Chad Daybell’s martyr complex in the episodes to follow.

Why was this letter ever written — and what does it reveal about Chad’s mindset leading up to the crimes he’s now convicted of?

Big Breakdown: The EVIDENCE That EXPOSED Donna Adelson's Evil! In this Big Breakdown from Hidden Killers, we take a deep dive into the evidence that finally exposed Donna Adelson’s role in the murder-for-hire plot that claimed the life of Florida State law professor Dan Markel. For years, whispers swirled about the Adelson family’s involvement, but it was the damning courtroom exhibits, wiretapped calls, and witness testimony that pulled the curtain back on the matriarch who prosecutors say orchestrated everything from behind the scenes. We revisit the infamous “day planner” containing Markel’s license plate, the undercover “bump” that caught key conversations on tape, and the family phone calls that revealed the true scope of Donna’s influence. From financial motives to her unrelenting drive to free Wendi Adelson from a custody battle, the trial’s evidence painted a picture of manipulation, control, and ruthless calculation. Join Tony Brueski as we break down how the state built its case piece by piece — and why the jury believed Donna Adelson’s fingerprints were all over this murder-for-hire plot. This is the evidence that turned suspicion into conviction, exposing the Adelson family’s darkest secrets to the world.

FBI Behavior Expert On Stopping The Cycle Of Violence That Led To Charlie Kirk Assassination In this closing segment of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, Todd Michaels, and Robin Dreeke shift from analysis to solutions: How do we stop the cycle that led to the Charlie Kirk assassination? Dreeke draws on his 22+ years leading FBI counterintelligence to explain how curiosity, ego suspension, and communication can prevent radicalization. He shares interrogation strategies used to elicit confessions — not through force, but by asking questions, listening deeply, and giving people space to share without judgment. Those same techniques, he argues, could heal America’s political and cultural divides. The panel critiques leadership failures on all sides, pointing out how politicians and corporations have abandoned curiosity in favor of division. They stress that leaders must model curiosity and empathy if society is going to calm down. Without that, young people raised in fear, distrust, and online echo chambers will continue to believe violence is justified. The conversation also highlights a chilling generational shift: surveys now show that over half of young people believe violence is sometimes warranted when they disagree with the system. Combined with algorithms feeding outrage and foreign powers amplifying division, the stakes have never been higher. Dreeke offers a hopeful vision: if we can re-spark curiosity, even in small ways, and focus on listening instead of fighting, the path to de-escalation is still possible. But it requires courage from leaders — and from everyday people. #CharlieKirk #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #TrueCrime #AssassinationAttempt #Leadership #FBI #Curiosity #Communication #Radicalization Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

FBI Behavior Expert Robin Dreeke On Radicalization in Real Time: How Online Echo Chambers Fueled the Charlie Kirk Assassin How does a 22-year-old go from honor student to accused assassin? In this powerful discussion on Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, Todd Michaels, and Robin Dreeke explore how online radicalization happens in real time. Dreeke explains how social media algorithms feed vulnerable young people a steady diet of fear, negativity, and outrage — creating echo chambers where violence is normalized. The conversation explores how platforms like Discord and online gaming chats become breeding grounds for extremist thinking, not through shadowy “radicalizers,” but through peer-to-peer validation. The suspect wasn’t groomed in a cave halfway around the world — he was groomed in his own living room. The team also examines foreign interference. Drawing on his counterintelligence career, Dreeke explains “active measures” — how Russia and other foreign powers exploit America’s freedoms to sow distrust, disinformation, and division. From bots to anonymous accounts, much of the online noise after the assassination attempt appears designed to pit Americans against each other. Stacy raises a critical point: are today’s young people living in a constant trauma response, marinated in fear from birth, without tools to manage it? Robin agrees, pointing out how chronic fear escalates into anger, rage, and ultimately violence when curiosity and constructive outlets are missing. This segment reveals how radicalization isn’t abstract anymore — it’s woven into the everyday online world. And without intervention, more young people may follow the same dangerous path. #CharlieKirk #AssassinationAttempt #HiddenKillers #Radicalization #RobinDreeke #SocialMediaEchoChamber #FBI #Counterintelligence #TrueCrime #ForeignInfluence Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

FBI Behavior Chief Goes Inside the Mind of the Charlie Kirk Assassin: Fear, Family & Lone Wolf Patterns In this gripping segment of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski and the team sit down with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to dissect the accused assassin of Charlie Kirk. On the surface, the 22-year-old suspect seemed like the last person you’d expect to commit such an act: a suburban Utah upbringing, a Mormon family described as “squeaky clean,” an academic star student with a scholarship, and no criminal record. But as Dreeke explains, appearances can be deceiving. Drawing on his decades of FBI counterintelligence and behavioral analysis experience, Dreeke explores how the suspect’s profile fits the pattern of a lone-wolf assassin — but with important deviations. Unlike methodical planners like Ted Kaczynski, this was not a professional hit. Instead, Dreeke points to impulsivity, emotional hijacking, and “leakage” — the unintentional signals people give off when they are spiraling toward violence. The discussion dives into how fear becomes the primal driver when curiosity dies. Robin explains how rigid belief systems, isolation, and identity conflict can escalate into rage when someone lacks the tools to process emotions in healthy ways. The hosts explore whether a triggering event, perhaps connected to the suspect’s personal relationships, could have been the final spark. This segment pulls back the curtain on the psychology of lone-wolf violence — showing how fear, not ideology, often drives people to the edge. #CharlieKirk #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #AssassinationAttempt #RobinDreeke #BehavioralAnalysis #FBI #LoneWolf #Radicalization #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
