Yogurt Shop Murders Solved After 34 Years: Press Confession Reactions + Bob Motta’s Legal Analysis

Donna & Charlie Adelson Behind Bars: Tantrums, Tablets, and Toe Trauma Dan Markel was murdered in 2014 in one of the most shocking custody-related hit jobs in American legal history. Now that two of the key players—Donna and Charlie Adelson—are behind bars, how are they handling it? Spoiler: Not well. In this voice-driven episode of Hidden Killers, we pull the curtain back on life behind bars for the once-powerful Adelsons. Donna’s jailhouse meltdown just nine days after her conviction is fully documented in prison logs—loud sobbing, door-pounding, and furious rants about judges and jurors, all while she unknowingly feeds jailhouse informants. Meanwhile, Charlie Adelson, convicted of murder, has his own jailhouse drama. Caught on video by Spill the Crime Tea, Charlie explodes over his big toe being run over by a jail door. He spews racial slurs, berates staff, then folds like a lawn chair when a lieutenant arrives. This isn’t a story of redemption. It’s the unraveling of a family that thought the rules didn’t apply to them. We dig into:  – The official jail logs documenting Donna’s outbursts  – Charlie’s unhinged toe tirade caught on camera  – What these behaviors tell us about entitlement, narcissism, and collapse  – How the Adelsons are adjusting—or failing to—in the harsh reality of incarceration Welcome to the downfall. No more dental dynasty. Just inmate numbers, cold walls, and tablets that barely charge. Watch now and decide for yourself: are the Adelsons victims of injustice, or just finally out of excuses? 🔍 Keywords Donna Adelson, Charlie Adelson, Adelson family, Dan Markel murder, prison logs, jailhouse meltdown, true crime podcast, Hidden Killers, Surviving the Survivor, Wendy Adelson, Leon County Jail, jailhouse footage, Florida true crime, criminal psychology, post-conviction behavior, narcissistic breakdown Hashtags #DonnaAdelson #CharlieAdelson #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #PrisonLife #JailhouseMeltdown #AdelsonFamily #JusticeServed #SurvivingTheSurvivor Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

False Confessions, No Evidence: Inside the Yogurt Shop Murders Miscarriage of Justice In this powerful segment of Hidden Killers Live, we continue watching the APD press conference and confront one of the most devastating truths about this case: the state prosecuted and convicted the wrong men. Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen were convicted in 2001 and 2002, based on confessions taken after 18- and 5-hour interrogations respectively. No physical evidence tied them to the crime scene. They were convicted anyway. In 2009, DNA evidence excluded them—and charges were finally dropped. But the damage was already done. Springsteen had been sentenced to death. Scott to life. We play back the portion of the press conference where Travis County DA Jose Garza publicly acknowledges their innocence—and we react to the gravity of what that admission means. This isn’t just about a late apology. This is about decades of institutional failure. It’s about tunnel vision, bad interrogation tactics, and a justice system that clung to a theory while DNA screamed “you’re wrong.” We talk false confessions, prosecutorial overreach, and what real restitution should look like in cases like this—because you don’t just walk away from death row and go back to normal. #YogurtShopMurders #FalseConfession #WrongfulConviction #MichaelScott #RobertSpringsteen #CoercedConfession #TravisCountyDA #JusticeReform #HiddenKillersLive #InnocenceAcknowledged Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Inside Bryan Kohberger’s Murder-Morning Shopping Trip & What the Survivors Endured Two threads. One killer. And a behavioral trail that doesn’t lie. In this combined breakdown, I’m joined by Robin Dreeke to walk through two critical pieces of the Kohberger case: The post-murder shopping footage, where Kohberger casually walks the aisles at Costco and the grocery store—mere hours after the murders. The survivor interviews, where Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke describe confusion, fear, and sensory chaos inside the house that night. This isn’t about internet drama. It’s about how behavior—on both ends—tells the story. We look at how Kohberger re-entered public space like nothing had happened. Robin explains what the FBI looks for in footage like this: timing, movement, risk exposure, behavioral regulation. Then we shift to the interviews—two young women surviving something unspeakable. We walk through what they said, why they said it the way they did, and why the people attacking them online are dead wrong. This segment is about evidence, not ego. About listening, not twisting. About understanding what trauma sounds like—and what performance looks like. Bryan Kohberger is guilty. He’s in prison. But the story doesn’t end at conviction. These details matter. Because they show us the full anatomy of this case—from the killer’s fake calm to the survivors’ real fear. 🔖 HASHTAGS #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #RobinDreeke #CostcoVideo #DylanMortensen #BethanyFunke #PostCrimeBehavior #TraumaInformed #Idaho4 #TrueCrimeBreakdown Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

DNA, Trauma & Knife Training: Yogurt Shop Murders Spark Bigger Questions It’s the breakthrough we weren’t sure we’d ever see—the Yogurt Shop Murders are finally solved, 34 years after four teenage girls were brutally killed in Austin, Texas. In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels dissect the shocking press conference that named Robert Eugene Brashears as the lone killer—thanks to a powerful combo of DNA, ballistic forensics, and forensic genealogy. He’s dead, but the truth finally isn’t. But this segment isn't just about the headline. It’s about what took so damn long, the false confessions that wrecked innocent lives, and the mountain of physical evidence that sat untouched in filing cabinets for decades. The conversation quickly pivots from crime to culture—because if this case proves anything, it’s that no one’s coming to save you. Stacy opens up about her real-life decision to train in martial arts and hide knives around her apartment—not for paranoia, but for survival. And she’s not alone. The live chat explodes with women chiming in: same story, same fear, same defensive strategy. This episode dives deep into the psychological scars of systemic failure, the emotional intelligence we’re not teaching, and the false binary of being paranoid vs. being prepared. Also covered: the myth of “junk DNA science,” how 23andMe might’ve saved a life, and why too many public spaces feel like danger zones. Plus, a brutally honest conversation about growing up in fear, the trauma that shapes us, and what “safety” even means in today’s world. Watch now. Comment if you’ve ever felt the same. And tell us—do you trust science, or Reddit? 🔖 Hashtags: #YogurtShopMurders #TrueCrime #ColdCaseSolved #ForensicDNA #RobertBrashears #23andMe #SelfDefense #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Thank You for Your Service” As America Ignores Its Veterans’ Mental Health Crisis With Blissful Ignorance We say it like a reflex.  "Thank you for your service." But when veterans come home from war mentally broken — and become the ones pulling the trigger in mass shootings, or turning the gun on themselves — our country looks the other way. In this extended breakdown, we dive into two recent mass shootings committed by combat veterans, one at a church in Michigan, the other at a bar in North Carolina. The headlines said they were isolated tragedies. The truth? They're part of a disturbing pattern we rarely acknowledge. 🔺 Veterans make up 6% of the U.S. population, but 26% of mass shooters. 🔺 In 2022, 6,392 veterans died by suicide — nearly three-quarters using a firearm. 🔺 The VA reports over 4,400 severe staff shortages, with psychologists in highest demand. This isn’t about dishonoring service. It’s about confronting the deadly consequences of neglecting mental health, ignoring red flags, and refusing to talk about veteran perpetrators because it makes us uncomfortable. We don’t stop to ask:  – Why are so many veteran shooters known to law enforcement before the violence? – Why is the VA failing to provide timely, consistent mental health care? – Why do we thank veterans for their service, then fail them in crisis? This segment is a call for accountability — not just for the shooters, but for the institutions that looked away. If we want fewer headlines like these, we need more than symbolic patriotism. We need real help, real care, and real conversations about who we’re losing — and what it costs when we stay silent. 🔗 Veterans Crisis Line: Dial 988, then press 1 | Text: 838255 | Chat: veteranscrisisline.net Hashtags #Veterans #MassShootings #GunViolence #MentalHealth #VAHealthcare #PTSD #VeteranSuicide #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeNews #AmericaFailsVets Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Yogurt Shop Murders Solved After 34 Years: Press Confession Reactions + Bob Motta’s Legal Analysis This is the episode that finally puts everything in perspective. In this special Hidden Killers Live breakdown, we take you inside the full Austin Police press conference announcing the long-awaited resolution of the Yogurt Shop Murders—a case that haunted Austin for 34 years. But we don’t just play the tape. We unpack every revelation, contradiction, and implication in real time. And joining us for this explosive episode is defense attorney Bob Motta, host of Defense Diaries, to offer a no-BS legal breakdown from the defense side—a perspective the public rarely hears. Here’s what we cover: The Y-STR DNA match that finally named Robert Eugene Brashers as the killer Why that match took decades—despite the evidence being in storage for years The false confessions that led to two innocent men being convicted—one of them sentenced to death How prosecutors ignored exculpatory DNA, clung to a collapsing narrative, and refused to back down Bob’s analysis of the coercive tactics used in the interrogations, and why courts continue to let this happen The broader systemic problem: tunnel vision, evidence suppression, and a culture of “win the case” over “get it right” Why Brashers was never on the radar, despite a violent criminal record and ties to multiple sexual assaults What real accountability looks like—and what reforms might actually prevent this from happening again This is more than a reaction. It’s a legal autopsy of one of the most high-profile failures in American cold case history.

Mercy Killing or Murder? Was Lorenz Kraus Delusional or Justifying Evil? Lorenz Kraus said he did it out of mercy. But the facts — and his own words — suggest something much darker. In this segment of Hidden Killers Live, we dig into the psychology behind Kraus’s televised confession to killing both his parents and burying them behind their Albany home. He claims it was a "necessary act." Prosecutors say it was second-degree murder. We dissect the possibility that Kraus is operating under a god complex — one where his need for control and righteousness overtook reality. His phrasing, posture, and tone in the CBS6 confession video offer clues, but they also raise disturbing questions: Did he kill his parents with their consent — or was that invented after the fact? Is he mentally ill, or simply manipulative and calculating? What role did financial dependence and isolation play? And where does the line fall between assisted suicide and homicide with motive? This isn’t just about murder — it’s about how people twist morality into justification. We analyze it all, in real time. 🔖 Hashtags #AssistedSuicideDebate #GodComplex #LorenzKraus #CBS6Interview #HiddenKillersLive #MercyKillingOrMurder #TrueCrimePsychology #MentalHealthDefense #KillerConfessionBreakdown #BackyardBodiesAlbany Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Shocking Update in Celeste Rivas Case: LAPD and D4vd’s Team Break Silence! The silence around the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez is starting to break — and what’s coming out isn’t helping D4vd’s case. In this episode, we break down the latest developments in the investigation into how Celeste ended up dead in the trunk of a Tesla registered to music artist David Anthony Burke (aka D4vd). First, Josh Marshall, D4vd’s manager, has finally spoken publicly — but not through press or legal channels. Instead, he dropped a series of TikTok comment replies, denying involvement, claiming he never lived at the Hollywood Hills house, and insisting he had no knowledge of Celeste’s presence. His name was on the lease, but he says he worked remotely, lived out of state, and leased the house for “administrative reasons.” Then, we get key updates from LAPD, who now confirm that someone deliberately placed Celeste’s body in the trunk. The case remains open, and while no one has been charged yet, officials say they’re “looking into everything.” A separate police official even used the word “homicide” on-air — though the coroner’s report still lists the cause of death as pending. We also discuss new footage, including CCTV of Celeste running away, and a viral video of D4vd freezing when approached by a fan who resembled her. Add in death certificate details, forensic questions, and the growing suspicion around silence — and this story keeps unraveling. No speculation, no spin — just confirmed developments and what they mean for accountability.

Watch As Double Murder EXPOSED In LIVE News Interview: Shocking TV Confession!” In one of the most surreal crime stories in recent memory, Lorenz Kraus walked into a CBS6 newsroom and confessed on camera to killing his elderly parents, hiding their bodies in the backyard, and living off their Social Security checks for seven years. Now, on Hidden Killers Live, we watch that full CBS6 interview and break it down — line by line, word by word. Was it a genuine confession? A performance? A delusion? Or all of the above?

But when a search warrant was executed, investigators unearthed not bank records — but two corpses in the backyard. This segment includes: The moment Kraus confesses to second-degree murder How this case exploded from welfare fraud to Albany double homicide Questions about mental health, delusional beliefs, and a potential god complex What happens when a confession is made to journalists, not police This is the full breakdown of a case that’s part true crime, part psychological thriller, and part bureaucratic failure.

Will Anyone Ever Be Charged in the Death of Ellen Greenberg? 20 stab wounds. A knife in her chest. Bruises in various stages of healing. The official ruling? Suicide.   Now, 14 years later, with a new Hulu documentary (Death in Apartment 603) and a court-ordered review underway, the question that refuses to go away is this: Will anyone ever be held accountable for Ellen Greenberg’s death? In this special longform commentary, we cut through the noise and walk through the most disturbing, undeniable facts of this case—the forensic findings, investigative failures, and shifting stories that have led many to believe there’s been a cover-up from the very beginning. Why did the medical examiner reverse a homicide ruling under police pressure? Why was the crime scene released for cleaning before a full forensic sweep? And why does Ellen’s death certificate still say suicide, when even the original pathologist now says it shouldn’t? We also ask the harder question: What’s stopping prosecutors from filing charges, or even opening a formal investigation? From chain-of-custody issues with Ellen’s electronics to conflicting elevator surveillance and 911 call timelines, this case isn’t lacking in evidence—it’s been drowning in it. What it’s lacked is the institutional will to follow it. With the public demanding answers, Ellen’s parents fighting through the courts, and the Hulu series putting the spotlight back where it belongs, we’re at a pivotal moment. Will this be the turning point? Or will the system once again find a way to look away? Justice delayed doesn’t have to be justice denied. But it will be—if no one acts. 🧵 Hashtags #EllenGreenberg #JusticeForEllen #TrueCrime #ColdCase #WrongfulDeath #Unsolved #ForensicFiles #CrimeSceneInvestigation #HuluDocumentary #AccountabilityNow Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
