Lindsay Clancy: Thirteen Medications and a System That Failed

In January 2026, two civil lawsuits were filed against the medical providers who treated Lindsay Clancy in the months before January 24th, 2023. One by Lindsay. One by her husband Patrick. Both point at the same failures. Both describe the same chain of alleged negligence.Part 3 of the Lindsay Clancy five-part series covers the complete medical timeline: the Women & Infants Hospital assessment that allegedly produced a misdiagnosis without adequate patient history — now used by the prosecution as a cornerstone of its case. The McLean Hospital admission where Lindsay reportedly waited three days to see a doctor before being discharged after five. The return of auditory hallucinations in mid-January. The day-before appointment: virtual, approximately 17 minutes, dose increased.Thirteen medications in roughly four months. Multiple providers who allegedly never coordinated care. Appointments too brief to assess a patient in full psychiatric crisis. And structurally: a postpartum condition serious enough to cause infanticide that still has no standalone entry in the DSM. The providers named in the lawsuits have declined to comment on the pending litigation. The criminal trial is scheduled for July 2026. This is the episode that makes you furious — and it is supposed to.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Delphi: Did Richard Allen's Confession Prove He Wasn't There?

In the Richard Allen murder trial, prosecutors told the jury that a detail in Allen's confession proved it was real — he mentioned seeing a van, and a real neighbor really did drive that road at the right time. They called it the detail only the killer would know. It was their most powerful argument.Richard Allen was convicted of murdering 13-year-old Abby Williams and 14-year-old Libby German near the Monon High Bridge trail in Delphi, Indiana. He is serving 130 years. His defense has appealed, and the Indiana Attorney General just filed their formal response.Here's what that response doesn't address. According to the defense's brief, surveillance footage and FBI cell phone analysis suggest the van arrived significantly later than the State's witness testified — after Libby's phone had already stopped registering movement. And according to the same brief, Allen told his prison psychiatrist he shot the girls. They were not shot. The State's 94-page response is silent on that detail entirely.Defense attorney Bob Motta joins us to break down what both of those problems mean — the van timeline, the wrong cause of death, and what they tell us about the reliability of confessions made by a man who was found gravely disabled during 13 months of solitary confinement. He also takes us through Dr. Wala — the prison psychiatrist the State built their case around — who admitted she may have been wrong and who destroyed some of her own session notes.If you've been following this case or are just catching up — this is the conversation the State doesn't want had.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Delphi Murders: Indiana Responds to Richard Allen's Appeal

Richard Allen was convicted of murdering 13-year-old Abby Williams and 14-year-old Libby German near the Monon High Bridge trail in Delphi, Indiana. He's serving 130 years. His defense has appealed that conviction — and the Indiana Attorney General just filed their formal response.Their position: everything was done right, the trial was fair, and Richard Allen should serve every day of that sentence.Here's the detail that frames this entire conversation. According to the defense's appeal brief, Allen told his prison psychiatrist that he shot the girls. Abby and Libby were not shot. That detail is documented in the record. The State's 94-page response never addresses it. Not once.In this session, defense attorney Bob Motta goes through what the State is actually arguing — and what they're carefully avoiding. Their strategy leads with procedural waiver, arguing that most of the appeal was forfeited at trial. When they do engage the substance, they describe Allen's cell conditions as something less than coercion and point to his religious conversion as an explanation for why he started confessing after 13 months in solitary confinement. And they attach "harmless error" to every ruling that went against Allen's defense.Whether you've been following this case for years or you're hearing about it for the first time, this conversation gives you the clearest picture yet of where the Delphi appeal stands — and what the State's own brief reveals about how confident Indiana actually is.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Inside the Eleven Charges Against Caleb Flynn

Ashley Flynn was a volleyball coach, a substitute teacher, and a mother of two. She was found shot in her bed in the early morning hours at her Tipp City, Ohio home after her husband called 911 claiming a burglar had broken in. Three days later, he was in handcuffs. Now he's facing aggravated murder and ten additional charges — and the evidence that put him there paints a picture the defense hasn't publicly addressed.Investigators say the crime scene was staged. The garage entry point had a refrigerator blocking it. The weapon was allegedly a 9mm from Caleb Flynn's own truck. Ashley was in bed with shell casings on the floor nearby, and Caleb was conveniently in another part of the house. Their daughters were asleep down the hall — the same children who are now at the center of a no-contact order and, potentially, the witness intimidation charges prosecutors filed against Flynn for the days between the killing and his arrest.This episode covers the full scope of the case as it stands heading into trial: the 911 call, the bodycam footage, the physical evidence, the grand jury indictment, the unexplained resignation at the Flynns' church, the cancelled memorial, the family's shifting stance, the defense push for a gag order, and a strategic reversal on trial timing that raises its own questions.Caleb Flynn told American Idol cameras he loved his wife more than anything. Prosecutors say he killed her with prior calculation and design. A jury will decide which version of this man was real.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke is one of the most credentialed behavioral analysts in the country. Today he's taking listener questions across three of the most significant active true crime cases — and the

Three cases. Three distinct legal landscapes. And one conversation that gets to the procedural questions that matter most.Rex Heuermann is reportedly expected to plead guilty on April 8 in the Gilgo Beach killings — a plea that has not yet been entered and could still fall apart. If it holds, it would resolve charges connected to seven victims while closing the courtroom before a trial — no testimony under oath, no cross-examination, no public evidentiary record of the kind full proceedings create. Four families tied to uncharged deaths would not be reached by that expected plea.The Nancy Guthrie abduction is being investigated by a department with a documented institutional crisis. Dr. Richard Carmona — a former U.S. Surgeon General and former Pima County sheriff — went on record stating the crime scene was corrupted, calling it an irreversible error. The deputies' union passed a unanimous no-confidence vote. The Board of Supervisors invoked a rare law requiring the sheriff to submit reports under oath. More than 18,000 tips have been received with no named suspect. Ransom notes demanding cryptocurrency payment arrived and went past their deadlines. The legal integrity of any eventual case will have to be established within this context.Joseph Duggar faces felony charges in Florida — accused of molesting a then-9-year-old girl during a 2020 family vacation, incidents he allegedly admitted to when confronted by the victim's father and again to law enforcement detectives. He and Kendra face separate Arkansas misdemeanor counts for child endangerment and false imprisonment. Jim Bob Duggar's documented decision to handle Josh's conduct without law enforcement contact raises accountability questions that the existing charges do not address.Today on True Crime Today, retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke joins me to go through listener questions on all three cases — examining the legal record, the procedural stakes, and what the documented evidence means for the people still waiting on answers.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What TLC Knew About the Duggars — And Kept Filming Anyway

By 2014, Nineteen Kids and Counting was TLC's highest-rated program. The Duggar family had become the most famous face of conservative Christian family life in America — wholesome, modest, joyful, and profitable.Their own children tell a different story.In Part 2 of this five-part series from Hidden Killers and True Crime Today, Tony Brueski examines the Duggar brand — the financial control structure Derick Dillard has publicly alleged gave Jim Bob unilateral control over his adult children's contracts and payments, the compound Jill Duggar describes needing permission to enter as a married adult, and the network timeline that saw publicly available concerns about this family documented in 2007 while TLC continued broadcasting until 2015.When the story broke, TLC canceled — and immediately created a spinoff. That spinoff ran eleven more seasons and ended only with Josh Duggar's federal arrest.Two cancellations. Two network statements. One unbroken revenue stream.The money generated by a decade of broadcasting this family has never been publicly accounted for. Nobody made these children sign anything. The cameras just made it profitable for someone else.This is Part 2 of 5.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Duggar Charges: What the Legal Record Actually Demands Accountability For

The legal record surrounding the Duggar family has expanded significantly, and it raises accountability questions that the existing charges do not fully resolve.Josh Duggar is serving a federal sentence of twelve and a half years for possession of child sexual abuse material. Joseph Duggar has now been arrested and faces felony charges in Florida — accused of molesting a then-9-year-old girl during a 2020 family vacation, incidents he allegedly admitted to when confronted by the victim's father and then confirmed to Tontitown detectives. He and his wife Kendra have also been separately charged in Arkansas with four counts each of child endangerment and false imprisonment in the second degree — charges that reportedly stem from a subsequent investigation of their home, including the reported discovery of exterior locks on their children's bedroom doors. Both have April court dates in Arkansas. Joseph remains in custody awaiting extradition to Florida.The question that sits at the center of all of this, legally, is Jim Bob Duggar. The documented record shows he was aware of Josh's conduct toward family members years before any law enforcement involvement and chose to manage it internally. The legal question of what obligations exist when a parent has that knowledge — and what accountability follows from the choices that were made — remains largely unresolved in the public record.Today on True Crime Today, retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke joins me to work through listener questions on the legal and procedural dimensions. We're examining what the documented admissions mean for Joseph's Florida case. We're looking at what the Arkansas child endangerment and false imprisonment charges specifically allege. We're asking about the four children — and what legal options exist when both parents in a household face charges of this nature. And we're examining whether the documented pattern of internal handling within this family creates any basis for legal accountability beyond the individuals directly charged.These are consequential legal questions. We're treating them that way.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Delphi Murders: The State Responds — Here's What's Missing

Indiana's Attorney General just responded to Richard Allen's appeal in the Delphi murders case — and they want the court to let a 130-year conviction stand without a second look.Richard Allen was convicted in the 2017 killings of 13-year-old Abby Williams and 14-year-old Libby German near the Monon High Bridge trail in Delphi, Indiana. He's been appealing that conviction, and the State just filed their formal rebuttal.Their argument: everything was done right, the evidence was overwhelming, and even the rulings that may have gone wrong were harmless enough not to matter.Here's what caught our attention. The defense's brief documents that Allen, during his confessions, told his prison psychiatrist that he shot the girls. Abby and Libby were not shot. The State's response is 94 pages long. It never once addresses that detail.In this episode, we break down the three pillars of the State's rebuttal — the search warrant, the confessions, and the excluded evidence — and we examine the gaps. The eyewitness sketch that the woman who made it called perfect, depicting someone who looked nothing like Allen, that the jury never saw. The confession from a man who was documented as gravely disabled and who got the cause of death wrong. The van that the State says proves the confession was real — and the footage and data suggesting the timeline may not hold up.If you've been following this case, this episode connects the dots on where the appeal stands. If you're new to Delphi, this is a clear-eyed breakdown of why serious questions remain.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy: The Nurse Who Couldn't Save Herself

Every true crime story has a before. In the Lindsay Clancy case, the before is everything.Lindsay Clancy was a labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital — a woman who worked the room where lives begin and who dedicated her professional life to supporting mothers through their most vulnerable moments. When she became a mother herself, those professional instincts kicked in immediately. She recognized her own symptoms. She sought help almost immediately after each birth. She described exactly what she was experiencing using clinical language, because she had it.She was prescribed medication. It allegedly made things worse. She went back. More medications were added. She went back again. She admitted herself to hospital programs. She kept journals. Her husband was sounding alarms to friends. Her family drove in from out of state to help with the children.And according to a civil malpractice lawsuit she filed in January 2026, through all of it — across more than two years and three pregnancies — no one ever correctly identified the underlying condition that may have been driving everything.Part 2 of our five-part Lindsay Clancy series covers the years before January 24th, 2023. The woman, the mother, the patient, and the pattern of deterioration that her family watched happen while the system allegedly missed it entirely.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nancy Guthrie Case: When the Investigating Department's Record Is the Problem

The Nancy Guthrie abduction sits inside one of the most legally and institutionally complicated investigative contexts in recent memory.Nancy Guthrie — 84 years old, medically vulnerable, abducted from her Tucson home — has had ransom notes arrive demanding cryptocurrency payment, two deadlines pass, and more than 18,000 tips submitted to investigators. No suspect has been named publicly. No arrest has been made.The investigation is being run by a department with a documented institutional crisis. Dr. Richard Carmona — a former U.S. Surgeon General and former Pima County sheriff — went on record stating that current Sheriff Chris Nanos "corrupted" the crime scene, calling it an irreversible error. "Once it has been corrupted, that's the end of it," Carmona said. "You cannot reconstitute a crime scene." The Pima County Sheriff's deputies' union passed a unanimous no-confidence vote. The Board of Supervisors invoked a rare territorial-era law requiring the sheriff to submit reports under oath after discovering discrepancies in his record. A recall effort is now underway. And a department deputy, unrelated to this case, was arrested on a kidnapping charge — a development that raises systemic questions about this department regardless of its separation from Nancy's case.Today on True Crime Today, retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke joins me to work through listener questions on the legal and procedural picture. What does a publicly stated corrupted scene mean for any future prosecution's evidentiary foundation? What does 18,000 tips with no arrest signal about how that investigative resource is being managed? And if this case eventually produces a suspect, what does the institutional record of this department mean for charges that follow?The surveillance footage shows a masked man outside Nancy's front door the night she disappeared — improvised, not highly prepared. What that tells us about who investigators should be looking for, and what kind of evidentiary case prosecutors would need to build given what's already been compromised, is the procedural question that matters most right now.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
