episode The OTHER Person Rex Heuerman Took To The Grave cover

Beskrivelse

Eight women. That’s what Rex Heuermann pleaded guilty to. Seventeen years of killing. But former FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke has said the likelihood the number stopped at eight is “limited to none.” If Dreeke is right, there are families out there who don’t know the Gilgo Beach case has anything to do with them — people whose loved ones disappeared and were never connected to Heuermann. The FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit interview, built into the plea deal, may be the only way those names surface. The same interview program confirmed Samuel Little as the most prolific serial killer in U.S. history after he confessed to ninety-three murders in a dozen states. Many of Little’s victims had been written off — deaths ruled overdoses or accidents, cases closed without answers. The interview reopened every one of them. Tony digs into why the FBI has been interviewing convicted killers since the 1970s and what the program has actually produced: a national crime database, a behavioral classification system used worldwide, and the recovery of remains that families had waited decades to bury. Gary Ridgway’s six months of FBI interviews led investigators to four women whose families had never been able to lay them to rest. The criticism of the Heuermann interview is understandable — it gives a convicted killer attention. The FBI’s fifty-year track record says the attention is a tool, not a reward. What it produces is the point. And what it might produce here is the answer to whether eight is the real number or just the floor.

episode Nolan Wells AND Siders Kids: THIS Is What Officials Did cover

Nolan Wells AND Siders Kids: THIS Is What Officials Did

One sheriff declared no foul play before the investigation started. One county had complaints in hand for five years and never found the children. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down the Nolan Wells death investigation and the Siders sixteen-kids case together — because the question connecting both cases is the same: what happens when the system fails first and investigates second? On Nolan Wells: what the premature no-foul-play call did to the case trajectory, the contradictions between the friends' statements and the young woman's account, the allegedly deleted messages, the friend who appeared on national television during the active investigation, and the grand jury the DA agreed to for a death publicly called a drowning. On the Siders case: the gag order silencing officials who called it pure evil, the grandfather released because the county couldn't cover his medical costs, the truancy complaints from 2021 that were never served, and Elizabeth Siders — married off at fifteen, mother of all sixteen, facing sixteen felony counts while her own attorney argues she is a victim. Two cases. One conversation. Every failure examined by a former prosecutor.

Nolan Wells' Mother Unlocked His Phone. What Was There?

There is still no cause of death in the Nolan Wells case — and the accounts meant to explain his final hours on Horn Island keep colliding with each other. A week of public pressure has produced theories, celebrity statements, and outrage, but not the one thing everyone actually wants.The first place that gap showed up was his phone. Nolan recorded almost everything he did, so when his mother searched it for the last day he was alive, what she saw became the detail that made his family stop trusting the easy answer. That's the starting point, and it opens into the entire Nolan Wells timeline.He was a college football player from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. On the Fourth of July he went to Horn Island with high school friends. They came back. He didn't. His body surfaced two days later, and the coroner requested a full autopsy because the circumstances were uncertain. Then the record fractures: a young woman says Nolan told her he was returning to the boat, while his friends say he told them he was staying with her. A widely shared video circulates as proof of a confrontation — and a friend steps forward to say it isn't Nolan at all.We work through the contradictions honestly — the ones that fall apart under a closer look and the ones that stubbornly remain. We cover the "no foul play" statement issued before the autopsy, the family flying the body out of state for an independent exam, the public figures funding it, and the race questions officials tried to close prematurely.It [http://prematurely.It] all comes back to a single missing answer: how Nolan Wells died. This is the verified version — no theories, no invented drama, just the timeline, the open questions, and the failures. Subscribe to True Crime Today for the latest.

episode Why Elizabeth Siders' Attorney Calls Her a Victim Too cover

Why Elizabeth Siders' Attorney Calls Her a Victim Too

Elizabeth Siders was fifteen years old when she was married off in West Virginia. She became the biological mother of every child found in a twelve-by-twelve room in rural Ohio — sixteen kids, some of whom could not speak, living in conditions investigators compared to livestock. She now faces sixteen felony counts of child endangerment. Her own defense attorney has argued in filings that she is a victim of this family. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down whether the law supports holding both of those positions simultaneously. The case has taken several turns since the arrest. A gag order now covers every official who spoke publicly, filed by the defense after the AG used the phrase pure evil and the sheriff described conditions worse than the animals on the property. The seventy-three-year-old grandfather was released from custody because the county couldn't afford his medical bills, and his competency is being challenged. Faddis addresses whether this man's case ever makes it to trial. Faddis also examines the charge itself — whether child endangerment captures the scope of what happened — and the truancy complaints Gallia County filed in 2021 that were never served because the family couldn't be located. Sixteen children lived off the grid for nearly two decades, and the system that's supposed to prevent this had complaints in hand and couldn't find them.

episode Kash Patel Contradicted HIMSELF About Nancy Guthrie?! cover

Kash Patel Contradicted HIMSELF About Nancy Guthrie?!

The FBI Director told a podcast audience that his agents were kept out of the Nancy Guthrie investigation for four days, and that it cost them. There is a problem with that. On the third of February, two days after she was reported missing, an FBI special agent stood at a press conference in Tucson beside Sheriff Chris Nanos. And that same day, Kash Patel went on national television and said the Bureau was on the ground there with them. That is the sentence he cannot take back. Tony Brueski walks the whole ledger. The FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's Department issuing statements forty-five minutes apart in which each pointed at the other and neither claimed the lead. The Reuters report saying none of the ransom notes were genuine, contradicted publicly by FBI Phoenix a day later. A retired FBI agent who says there is genuine disagreement inside the Bureau about whether the evidence is even real. The plane Patel wanted credit for. The doorbell footage he wanted credit for. The glove that flew to Florida and back before anyone ran it. The partial DNA profile that cannot be run at all. And a sheriff answering for his own work history in the middle of the biggest case of his career. Cases like this rarely die because the offender was brilliant. They die because the people hunting him got distracted hunting each other. Nancy Guthrie has not been found.

episode Why Nolan Wells' Friend Went Public Before Answers Came cover

Why Nolan Wells' Friend Went Public Before Answers Came

Before the autopsy was finalized, before the FBI finished examining the digital evidence, before the investigation reached any conclusion, one of Nolan Wells' friends went on Good Morning America and then sat down with Rolling Stone to publicly tell his story. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis asks the question that matters: does an innocent person do a national media tour during an active investigation, or does that tell you something about what they're trying to control? The friends have attorneys. The family has Ben Crump. The family is running its own parallel investigation with private forensics examiners and a commissioned autopsy. And one detail that Crump has highlighted shifts the entire frame: the friends didn't voluntarily disclose that they had Nolan's phone and keys after his death. The family tracked the phone with Life360 and recovered it themselves. Faddis walks through every decision being made by every person connected to this case — what the friends should be doing if they genuinely want the truth, what the family's shadow investigation helps and hurts, and what everyone should be preparing for if the investigation ends without charges and a civil lawsuit follows. The Lauren Agee case provides the roadmap.
