A murder conviction that shut the courtroom doors but opened a flood of new questions about what’s next — that’s Kouri Richins. A disappearance now stretching into its seventh week, packed with leads but still no arrest — Nancy Guthrie. And a cop-on-cop shooting where the officer who was shot now faces trial in front of a judge alone — Kelsey Fitzsimmons.Tony Brueski and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke dig into what no one else will: the holes in the stories, the decisions that don’t make sense, and the people left waiting for real answers.

Kelsey Fitzsimmons is a North Andover, Massachusetts police officer who was shot in the chest by a fellow officer at her own home in June 2025 — and she's the one facing criminal charges. Her trial on assault with a dangerous weapon begins March 23, and today she waived her right to a jury trial, placing her fate entirely in a judge's hands. The circumstances of the case are genuinely contested. Officers say Fitzsimmons pointed her service weapon at them when they arrived to serve a restraining order obtained by her fiancé and remove her infant son. Fitzsimmons says she pointed the gun at herself — that she was in the grip of a postpartum mental health crisis and was trying to take her own life. There is no footage of the moment the gun was raised. Her legal team alleges her ex-fiancé subsequently broke into her home while she was hospitalized and allegedly stole money and personal records — and that prosecutors have declined to charge him. In this listener Q&A, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke walk a new audience through every layer of this case and take on the questions that get to the heart of it: about mental health, about the system, about accountability, and about what justice looks like when the facts are this disputed.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Kelsey Fitzsimmons assault trial opens Monday in Massachusetts — and two developments this week changed the entire shape of what happens next.Fitzsimmons waived her right to a jury trial. Judge Jeffrey Karp alone will decide whether the former North Andover police officer is guilty of assault with a dangerous weapon for allegedly pointing her service weapon at a colleague who came to serve a restraining order. She says she was pointing it at herself. He says she pointed it at him. There is no body camera footage. One judge picks.And the June 30th text exchange between Fitzsimmons and former fiancé Justin Aylaian — the messages sent on the day of the shooting — was unsealed and admitted as evidence.Those texts are the story. And the story they tell is one that true crime coverage has been largely unwilling to say plainly.Read the patterns in that exchange. The dismissal of Aylaian's physical abuse allegation in four words. The child deployed as emotional leverage every time he tries to state a boundary. The financial threats pulled in rapid succession. His debit card and ID in her possession leaving him unable to move. His entire support network dismissed as liars. His tone — measured, factual, calm — against an escalation that never stops.Now ask the question True Crime Today is asking: if those messages had come from him, what would we call it?There would be no conversation about mental health softening the read. There would be a victim and a restraining order we would call necessary. The behavior in those messages has a name when a man sends it. It does not always get that name when a woman does.This episode examines the texts pattern by pattern, breaks down the bench trial decision from both strategic directions, and addresses the system failure that sent officers to that door with no crisis plan for a situation already flagged as dangerous. Both sides. Full context. The question the verdict won't answer.Trial starts Monday. This is the coverage it deserves.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Courtney Clenney murder trial begins April 27, 2026 in Miami — and if you haven't been following this case, now is the time to catch up. Because this one is not straightforward. Not even close.Clenney, known online as Courtney Tailor, is charged with second-degree murder in the April 2022 stabbing death of her boyfriend, cryptocurrency trader Christian Obumseli, inside their luxury Edgewater high-rise. She has maintained from day one that she acted in self-defense — that Obumseli grabbed her by the throat, that she threw a knife from ten feet away to create distance, and that she never meant to kill him.The medical examiner says the wound — three inches deep, severing the subclavian artery — is inconsistent with a thrown knife. The defense says a battered woman in terror doesn't move the way she remembers moving.The evidence trail runs back two years across multiple cities. Obumseli's secret recordings of Clenney hurling racial slurs and striking him. Elevator surveillance footage of Clenney hitting him months before his death. But also: police records of Clenney requesting a restraining order two days before he died. A witness who told investigators Obumseli hit her in private. A security guard who described Obumseli charging toward her in the lobby.And then there's the investigation itself — a circuit judge ruled prosecutors violated attorney-client privilege. Computer charges against Clenney's parents were dropped. The defense alleges evidence was destroyed and a witness was withheld.Hidden Killers is bringing you complete coverage of this trial.

Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie, was abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona on February 1st. Six weeks later, investigators have not publicly named a suspect, have not made an arrest, and this week confirmed that newly recovered surveillance footage from her property shows nothing suspicious. In this listener Q&A, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke take on the questions followers of this case have been sitting with. Investigators are now canvassing neighbors about footage from specific dates — January 11th and January 24th — suggesting they may be building a pre-abduction surveillance timeline on a suspect they haven't yet publicly identified. The sheriff has said he believes the home was targeted and that he thinks he knows the motive — but won't say what it is. Multiple ransom notes were sent to media outlets with deadlines that passed without consequence. And a damaged utility box near her home may have disrupted the neighborhood's Wi-Fi the night she disappeared. Robin and Tony work through what the evidence pattern says about who did this — and whether the investigation is closing in or running cold.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Kouri Richins was convicted of murdering her husband Eric with fentanyl and is heading to prison for life. It is one of the most documented, most debated poisoning cases in recent true crime history — and the conviction closes the legal chapter while leaving the human one wide open. In this listener Q&A, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke take on the post-verdict fallout. The immunity deals that let key witnesses walk free. The defense's misconduct claims that didn't move the jury. The grief book written and sold to families while Kouri allegedly concealed what she had done. The four years of sustained deception, and what it means that it ultimately wasn't enough. Robin applies the behavioral framework he built during a career recruiting spies and analyzing dangerous personalities to ask the question nobody wants to answer plainly: does Kouri Richins believe she did anything wrong? And what does the answer to that question tell us about who she actually is? A conviction ends a trial. It doesn't end the story.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

After Eric Richins died, Kouri wrote a children's book. "Are You With Me?" About a father who becomes a firefly. She went on morning shows. Performed the grieving widow. Put herself at the center of the tragedy.Prosecutors say she killed him.This is Part 4 of The Perfect Wife — examining the narcissist's fatal flaw. The need to be seen. Even for murder.Nancy Crampton-Brophy understood this. In 2011, she wrote an essay called "How to Murder Your Husband." She discussed methods. She wrote: "If the murder is supposed to set me free, I certainly don't want to spend any time in jail."Seven years later, she shot her husband Daniel twice.The essay was excluded from trial — too old. But the jury convicted her anyway.She bought a gun with traceable methods. Drove her own minivan to the crime scene. Published her murder methodology under her real name.The narcissist can't stay invisible. They need credit for their cleverness.Kouri wrote herself as the grieving mother helping children heal. Nancy wrote herself as the expert on spousal homicide. Both needed the spotlight. And it exposed them.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The love bombing that makes the beginning feel like fate. The coercive control that makes the middle feel inescapable. The dangerous calculus of the exit. And what recovery honestly demands from the people who make it out.Listeners who have followed this case will find every unanswered question about the relationship itself addressed in full here.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
