Why Sheriff Mickey Stines Killed Judge Mullins: The Truth Finally Comes Out!-WEEK IN REVIEW

On November 29, 2025, 19-year-old Texas A&M student Brianna Aguilera was found dead outside a 17-story apartment building in Austin, Texas. She had been in town for the Texas vs. Texas A&M rivalry game, staying with friends at the 21 Rio apartments near the UT campus. Within days, Austin Police held a rare press conference to announce they were treating her death as a suicide - citing a deleted suicide note found on her phone, text messages indicating suicidal thoughts, and prior statements to friends. They say all evidence points away from foul play. But Brianna's family isn't buying it. Her mother, Stephanie Rodriguez, has publicly accused police of a rushed investigation and believes someone in that apartment is responsible for her daughter's death. She says Brianna was afraid of heights, was actively planning her future, and would never have taken her own life. The family has now retained high-profile attorney Tony Buzbee to pursue their own investigation. The questions are piling up: Why wasn't the mother notified for almost 15 hours? What happened in the two minutes between Brianna's phone call with her boyfriend and the 911 call? Why did none of the three women in the apartment see or hear anything? And what about the witness who says she heard screaming and running that night? Adding another layer to this case: another Texas A&M student, Grant Hernandez, died at the exact same apartment complex in 2019 under strikingly similar circumstances. His death was also ruled a suicide. His father says he never got the answers he wanted. In this video, I break down everything we know about the Brianna Aguilera case - the timeline, the evidence, the family's concerns, and the questions that still need answers. 🔔 Subscribe for updates as this case develops. ⚠️ If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988. #BriannaAguilera #TexasAM #Austin #TrueCrime #21Rio #TonyBuzbee #ColdCase #JusticeForBrianna #TexasNews #CrimeCommunity #TrueCrimeYouTube #Investigation #BreakingNews #AustinTexas #WestCampus #CollegeStudent #MentalHealthAwareness #SuicidePrevention #TrueCrimeCommunity #CaseBreakdown Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The suppression hearing for Luigi Mangione took a dramatic turn when prosecutors revealed a photo taken seconds after his arrest — an image showing Mangione had urinated on himself inside an Altoona McDonald’s. It’s not the shock value that matters. It’s what this single moment tells investigators about the psychological collapse of a man who, days earlier, was described as the most-wanted fugitive in America. In Part One, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to break down the behavior captured in that photo. Body-camera footage shows Mangione sitting alone, masked, trying to appear composed. But when officers ask him to lower his mask and give his real name, everything shifts. The loss of bodily control, Coffindaffer says, is a powerful indicator of acute stress — one that undercuts the online mythology portraying him as a calm ideological warrior. We explore why the defense is fighting to suppress the entire arrest sequence: the photo, the body-cam footage, and the contents of Mangione’s backpack — including the alleged ghost gun and notebook outlining his anti-health-care-industry motive. If a judge rules the search unconstitutional or finds the interrogation violated Miranda, the prosecution could lose the very evidence tying Mangione to the ambush murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. This case has become far bigger than a single shooting. It is now a constitutional battle over search-and-seizure, custodial interrogation, and whether a federal death-penalty prosecution can survive if the core evidence is thrown out. Tonight, we break down the arrest, the surveillance, the psychology, the suppression hearing, and the seismic legal stakes if prosecutors lose their most critical evidence. #LuigiMangione #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrimeNews #HiddenKillers #SuppressionHearing #LegalAnalysis #CrimeInvestigation #BrianThompson #CourtroomBreakdown #FederalCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The parents of Jesse Butler's victims are breaking their silence — and what they're revealing is devastating. Jesse Mack Butler, 18, of Stillwater, Oklahoma, pleaded no contest to 11 felony charges including attempted rape, rape by instrumentation, and domestic assault by strangulation against two teenage girls. One victim was strangled until she lost consciousness and required surgery on her neck. Her doctor told her she was 30 seconds away from dying. Police found video on Butler's phone of him strangling the other victim. He faced 78 years in prison. Instead, a judge granted him "youthful offender" status — and he received community service, counseling, and supervision until his 19th birthday. No prison. No sex offender registry. If he complies, his record gets wiped clean. The victims' families say they were never consulted about the plea deal. Both girls were willing to testify. That choice was taken from them. Butler's father is the former Director of Football Operations at Oklahoma State University. The judge who granted youthful offender status holds two degrees from OSU. No direct impropriety has been proven — but the families and protesters are demanding answers. "Community service for this type of crime, that's nothing," one victim's father told Nightline. "People get that for minor crimes." State Rep. J.J. Humphrey is calling for a grand jury investigation. Protesters have surrounded the courthouse at every hearing. And the parents have one message for America: "Love shouldn't hurt." #JesseButler #Stillwater #Oklahoma #TrueCrime #JusticeForSurvivors #YouthfulOffender #NoJailTime #DomesticViolence #TeenDatingViolence #LoveShouldntHurt Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For more than a year, the murder of Judge Kevin Mullins has haunted Letcher County, Kentucky — not only because a sitting sheriff walked into a judge’s chambers and executed him, but because no one understood why. Sheriff Mickey “Shawn” Stines and Judge Mullins had worked side by side for years. They ate lunch together hours before the shooting. Nothing added up. Until now. Newly exposed court documents and witness statements paint a devastating picture of Stines in the days leading up to the killing. He had dropped forty pounds in two weeks. He couldn’t sit through a deposition without taking ten breaks. He told staff he was being ordered to hand over money and kill himself or shadowy forces would murder his family. He placed phone calls to relatives who’d been dead for years. Employees said he was in a full psychotic break — but the only intervention was telling him to see his family doctor. The next day, Judge Mullins was dead. This episode also uncovers the explosive context surrounding the shooting. Days before the murder, Stines was deposed in a federal civil rights case alleging widespread sexual coercion and abuse of power inside the courthouse — a scandal that had already produced a guilty plea from one official. Judge Mullins was named in the lawsuit. Some alleged acts took place in his chambers. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to break down the behavioral unraveling, the institutional failures, and the systemic corruption surrounding this case. We examine the surveillance footage, the post-arrest bodycam video, and the lawsuit now filed by Mullins’ widow accusing sheriff’s office employees of ignoring the warnings. Was this murder the act of a man in psychosis — or the violent fallout of a courthouse protecting itself?

Two teenage boys in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Both charged with first-degree rape. Both charged with strangulation. Both were 17 at the time of the alleged crimes. Both attacked teenage girls they were dating. One of them walked out of court with community service. The other is sitting in jail on $30,000 bond, facing five years to life. What's the difference? Jesse Mack Butler was convicted on ten rape-related charges in 2025. One of his victims nearly died—her doctor testified she was thirty seconds from death during a strangulation attack. Police found videos on his phone of the assaults. He faced 78 years in prison. He got 150 hours of community service. Butler's father is the former Director of Operations for Oklahoma State football. The judge who granted him youthful offender status holds two degrees from OSU. A state lawmaker has called for a grand jury investigation, saying the deal "smacks of political favor." Now there's a second case. Canyn Rion Porter was charged in December 2025 with first-degree rape and strangulation. The allegations are strikingly similar. But Porter doesn't have family connections to OSU. He doesn't have a private attorney. He applied for a public defender. So what happens now? Does Porter get the same deal Butler got? Or does he go to prison while Butler stays home under a curfew? Either answer raises serious questions about how justice works in Payne County—and who it works for. In this video, I break down both cases, the controversial youthful offender statute, the family connections that have people asking questions, and what these cases tell us about accountability in America. The question isn't just what happens to Jesse Butler or Canyn Porter. It's what happens to the next girl. #JesseButler #CanynPorter #Stillwater #StillwaterOklahoma #OklahomaState #OSU #PayneCounty #YouthfulOffender #JusticeSystem #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeNews #CriminalJustice #JJHumphrey #CommunityService #TwoTierJustice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brian Walshe is on trial for murdering and dismembering his wife, Ana — a woman whose body has never been found. He has already pleaded guilty to disposing of her remains and lying to investigators, but maintains he didn’t kill her. His explanation: he woke up, found Ana dead from an unexplained medical event, panicked, and tried to “protect his children.” The prosecution says the evidence tells a very different story. In this full interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke — former chief of the Bureau’s Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — breaks down every behavioral marker in this case: Walshe’s police interviews, his shifting explanations, the marriage dynamics, the hidden affair, and the sequence of Google searches that began at 4:55 a.m. with “how long before a body starts to smell.” We also examine the explosive testimony from Day 6 of the trial. Jurors watched surveillance video of a masked man in blue latex gloves pushing a cart through Lowe’s on New Year’s Day, buying a hacksaw, hatchet, mops, buckets, and a Tyvek suit — all paid for in cash. Hours later, prosecutors say Walshe dumped a trash bag behind a closed liquor store. Inside that bag: blood-soaked carpet, human hair, and a piece of Gucci jewelry Ana owned. Crime lab experts testified that nearly every tool recovered from dumpsters tested positive for blood — including the hacksaw, hatchet, hammer, and tin snips. The basement showed blood stains near black trash bags. The bedroom — where the defense claims Ana died suddenly — was forensically clean. No blood. No disturbance. No biological trace. The medical examiner testified that sudden natural death in a healthy 39-year-old woman is “pretty rare.” After this breakdown, you’ll understand the evidence the jury is weighing — and what it actually means. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheTrial #TrueCrimeNews #ForensicEvidence #RobinDreeke #FBIAnalysis #MurderTrial #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeForAna Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This full-length interview with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke brings together two deeply disturbing stories — the Jesse Butler case in Oklahoma and the tragic death of 18-year-old Anna Kepner aboard a cruise ship. Both cases expose something bigger than individual acts of violence. They reveal systems, institutions, and family dynamics that shape who gets protected — and who gets overlooked. Part One: The Predator’s Playbook We examine how Jesse Butler allegedly built trust, manipulated perception, and inflicted escalating violence behind a mask of charm. Love-bombing, grooming, strangulation, digital trophies, calibrated threats — this is the behavioral blueprint of a predator operating in plain sight. Part Two: The System That Failed Despite overwhelming evidence and two victims ready to testify, Butler walked away with community service, counseling, and the promise of a clean record. We dig into the deal-making, the optics, the backlash, and the profound message this outcome sends to victims everywhere. Part Three: The Death of Anna Kepner Conflicting family stories, minimized aggression, outside witnesses telling a different truth, and behavioral indicators investigators look for when tragedy fractures the narrative. Robin explains how trained professionals cut through damage control to find reality. This episode isn’t just about two cases — it’s about the patterns, systems, and human behaviors that allow violence to go unchecked until it explodes into public view. #JesseButler #AnnaKepner #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #RobinDreeke #VictimAdvocacy #BehavioralAnalysis #JusticeMatters #CrimeAndAccountability Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, I sit down with defense attorney and trial analyst Bob Motta to examine two major developments shaking the foundation of the Delphi case: the collapse of the timeline investigators built around the murders of Abby Williams and Libby German, and the sweeping appeal just filed on behalf of Richard Allen. For years, the investigative timeline was treated as immutable. But in deposition after deposition, the structure starts to buckle. Bob and I dissect how key witness descriptions were reframed, how the search-warrant affidavit selectively emphasized certain statements, and how critical timestamps shifted depending on which investigator documented them. One witness described a young man and an older car — yet was later framed as having seen something “consistent” with Richard Allen. FBI involvement remains inconsistent depending on who you ask. Even the time of death varies across sworn testimony. Then we turn to Allen’s new 130-page appeal brief — nearly double the usual size — outlining ten issues and nine constitutional claims. The defense argues the jury never heard about alternative suspects, including one who allegedly confessed. They challenge the exclusion of more than 1,200 pages of evidence, the handling of 61 unreliable confessions, the thirteen months Allen spent in solitary confinement, and the toolmark analysis behind the unspent bullet that prosecutors say ties his gun to the crime. No DNA linked Allen to the scene. A volunteer clerk found an error that went unnoticed for five years. And a judge blocked jurors from hearing evidence that law enforcement themselves investigated early on. This episode isn’t about guilt or innocence — it’s about whether the system followed its own rules, and whether the conviction can stand on the foundation the state built. Full breakdown. Every issue explained. No speculation — just the record. #DelphiCase #RichardAllen #AbbyAndLibby #DelphiTimeline #TrueCrimeNews #LegalAnalysis #DelphiAppeal #CourtRecords #HiddenKillers #JusticeReview Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Prosecutors in the Brian Walshe murder trial are trying to do something extremely rare: prove first-degree murder without a body, without a weapon, and without a confirmed cause of death. Ana Walshe has never been found. But what the Commonwealth does have is a digital trail that reads like a blueprint for premeditated murder — and a defendant positioned to receive $2.7 million in life insurance if his wife died. According to testimony from Massachusetts State Police Trooper Nicholas Guarino, the searches began at 4:52 a.m. on New Year’s Day: “Best way to dispose of a body.” Three minutes later: “How long before a body starts to smell.” Over the next several days, the searches continued and escalated — questions about DNA degradation, dismemberment tools, identifying remains with broken teeth, and research into serial killer Patrick Kearney, the so-called “trash bag killer.” Day 5 testimony took the case even deeper. Trooper Connor Keefe read dozens of text messages Brian allegedly sent to Ana’s phone for three days after prosecutors say she was already dead. None were delivered. Her phone was never recovered. In court, jurors also saw the tools investigators pulled from a Swampscott dumpster — a hacksaw, hatchet, hammer, shears, tape, even a measuring cup — items prosecutors say Brian used to dismember her body. Former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us to assess the strength of the Commonwealth’s case, the role of circumstantial evidence in no-body prosecutions, and how the defense is trying to introduce doubt through marital context and investigative missteps. Brian Walshe admits he disposed of Ana’s body — but the jury doesn’t know that. Now the question is whether the prosecution has enough to prove he killed her.

This episode of Hidden Killers brings together three troubling, psychologically revealing stories — each offering a unique window into manipulation, identity, and the way families and offenders construct narratives to protect themselves. We begin with Bryan Kohberger’s reported self-harm threats inside Idaho Maximum Security Institution. He’s allegedly telling staff he’ll “harm himself” if they don’t move him out of J-Block — a threat strategically worded, attached to conditions, and deployed after earlier complaints didn’t get traction. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down the psychology behind conditional threats, escalation patterns, and why institutions must take every claim seriously even when manipulation is suspected. From there, we move into Kohberger’s serial-killer outreach — his attempts to connect with high-profile offenders rather than family or supporters. Shavaun helps us understand what this reveals about identity, belonging, status, and the collapse of the image he expected to maintain inside prison. When inmates respond with contempt instead of fascination, the psychological fallout can be profound. Finally, we shift to the Anna Kepner cruise-ship case, where conflicting accounts from adults and teens highlight the distance between family myth and emotional reality. Parents describe harmony; teens describe aggression. Shavaun walks us through why teenagers often perceive danger more clearly than adults, how aggression becomes normalized, and why blended families are especially vulnerable to maintaining a narrative that doesn’t match the truth. Across all three segments, one theme emerges: when reality doesn’t match the story someone needs to believe, the mind works overtime to bridge the gap — sometimes through manipulation, sometimes through denial, and sometimes through sheer grandiosity. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #AnnaKepner #ShavaunScott #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonPsychology #FamilyDynamics #SerialOffenders #TonyBrueski #CriminalMindset Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
