Hidden Killers Live! Daily True Crime News & Breakdowns

Lindsay Clancy is suing her doctors. Her husband is suing her doctors. If a civil jury agrees the treatment caused what happened, those providers write a check. Lindsay is still the only one who answers for it in a criminal courtroom. She's charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan, at their Duxbury, Massachusetts home on January 24, 2023. She's pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. She's a former labor and delivery nurse who says she begged the medical system for help for weeks and was handed a stack o...

Two autopsies. A hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars in reward money. Still no arrest. That's where the Nolan Wells case stands, and the gap between what's been proven and what's being treated as fact online keeps growing. The independent autopsy, paid for by the family and performed by Dr. Roger Mitchell, came back undetermined. No fractures. No deep tissue injuries. No lacerations. Just discoloration on the back of Nolan's skull that answers one question and leaves the more important one wide open. The state completed its own examination on July 7th. It hasn't been released. What has been r...

Nobody in Plymouth Superior Court knows yet if Lindsay Clancy is going to take the stand in her own defense, and it might be the single biggest decision left in this trial. Lindsay is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan, at their Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023. She's pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. She checked herself into a psychiatric hospital on New Year's Eve after telling her husband she was having thoughts of hurting her children. She was discharged. Nineteen days later, the children w...

A federal inmate built a hidden operating system just to make his wife's monitoring software think everything was fine. That's not speculation, that's testimony jurors heard at Josh Duggar's trial: two years of accountability software telling him no, and him quietly engineering the no away. Now that same man has filed a 2025 motion from behind bars, and his own sisters are named in it. Why he dragged them into a federal court filing is the question driving this episode. It comes on top of a pattern the Bureau of Prisons won't explain: four facility transfers across three states, and...

Patrick Clancy told his wife's doctors she was becoming someone he didn't recognize. Lindsay Clancy was on Seroquel, he said, and it was making her ten thousand times worse. The providers treating her didn't pull back. They raised the dose. Weeks later, she killed their three children in their Duxbury, Massachusetts home. She is now standing trial in Plymouth, and neither side disputes what happened that day — only whether she was criminally responsible for it.  On this episode, Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, to trace the full arc of Lindsay Clancy's care bef...

Joseph Duggar told a national television audience in 2015 that his brother Josh preached one thing and did another, and now a Bay County, Florida arrest affidavit is forcing a question nobody wants to sit with: did Joseph Duggar's own TV appearance predict the charges he's facing today? Tony Brueski breaks down the timeline live: the December 2015 interview where Joseph described Josh's double life on camera, the 2003 decision by Jim Bob Duggar to route his son's confession through a family friend with a badge rather than police, and the identity of that man, which makes the entire cover-up worse t...

Patrick Clancy has said his wife spent her final months acting like a zombie, and almost nobody around her seemed to notice how far gone she really was. Lindsay Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan, at their Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023. She's pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. Between September 2022 and January 2023, she was prescribed at least nine different psychiatric medications. An outside hospital later determined she'd been overmedicated and misdiagnosed, and h...

Search crews covered a patch of water off Horn Island on Sunday and found nothing. A ranger went back Monday morning and found Nolan Wells. Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. He was last seen on the island around three in the afternoon on the Fourth of July. About ninety minutes later, the boat's operator called a towing company to report the boat was taking on water. The boat left the island at 4:31, and a National Park Service ranger recovered Nolan's body at 8:45 the next morning, off the island's n...

Somebody on that boat trip knows more than they're saying about what happened to Nolan Wells, and some of them are reportedly too scared to say it. Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. On the Fourth of July he went out to Horn Island, an uninhabited barrier island roughly ten miles off the Mississippi coast, with a group of friends. No buildings, no fresh water, no service, just boats and coolers until the sun goes down and everyone heads for the mainland. His friends made it back. He didn't. <br...

Lindsay Clancy's husband found their three children dead. Now he's about to take the stand for her. Patrick Clancy discovered Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months, in their Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023. Lindsay Clancy has conceded she killed them. What's contested in Plymouth Superior Court is whether she knew right from wrong at the time, and Patrick has landed on the side of the woman accused of ending his children's lives. He's filed a wrongful death lawsuit, not against Lindsay, but against the healthcare providers who treated her in the months leading up to th...

Siders Ohio house of horrors child bride history — before the sixteen children were found in Vinton County, marriage records from Gallia County, Ohio, and Mason County, West Virginia, show three girls between fourteen and fifteen years old were married into the Siders family orbit over a six-year span. Judges signed. Parents signed. Nobody intervened.The youngest was fourteen and pregnant when she married a forty-eight-year-old cousin of Gary Siders Sr. in 2002. A year later, a fifteen-year-old identified in records as Gary Siders Jr.'s own sister was married in the same county. And in 2008, Elizabeth Russell — the woma...

d4vd and Nolan Wells — two cases where the evidence just put into the public record raised more questions than it answered. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines both.d4vd's preliminary hearing introduced the prosecution's full digital paper trail — online orders for chainsaws, a cadaver bag, a burn cage, laundry bags, and an inflatable pool, all allegedly placed under aliases and shipped to the defendant's own address. But the defense established that every chainsaw tested negative for blood, no DNA testing was ordered, and key pieces of physical evidence were not properly preserved or collected. Matching tatt...

The independent autopsy of Nolan Wells found no evidence of physical trauma. No fractures. No deep tissue injuries. No lacerations. That's a finding, and it's a clear one. But the pathologist could not determine whether Nolan drowned, because the lungs, airway, and stomach contents had already been examined during the state's first autopsy. Two forensic experts who weren't involved in the case disagree about what the red discoloration on the back of his skull means — one calls it a superficial impact from water debris, the other says it could be decomposition or blunt force. Tony walks through the independent au...

d4vd — defense attorney Blair Berk cross-examined LAPD investigators at the preliminary hearing and established that every chainsaw recovered from the defendant's home tested negative for blood. No DNA testing followed. Prosecutors had entered those tools as central to the alleged cover-up of Celeste Rivas Hernandez's death. The defense says the prosecution's own lab results contradict that theory.Prosecutors presented a detailed timeline of online purchases made under aliases — chainsaws, a cadaver bag labeled "City Morgue," heavy-duty laundry bags, a burn cage, an inflatable pool — all allegedly shipped to the defendant's address and paid for with his own accounts. The di...

Prosecutors put the motive on the record on Day 2 of d4vd's preliminary hearing — and then revealed where Burke allegedly went after Celeste Rivas Hernandez was killed. Financial testimony established that Burke earned over $10 million between 2022 and 2025 from his Interscope deal and brand partnerships. The contract was terminated three months after the body was discovered. A money manager on Burke's team testified he knew Celeste's first name and had heard about Burke taking her to London. Then a CHP officer took the stand with a detail that stopped the courtroom: a Caltrans worker found Celeste's passport card in tall gr...

Nolan Wells — the independent autopsy results were not announced in Mississippi. They were not released at a press conference near the investigation. Ben Crump stood at the NAACP National Convention in Chicago — standing-room-only audience, national cameras rolling — and told the country the cause and manner of death were undetermined. The forensic pathologist was introduced at the convention. The family spoke at the convention. The investigation is in Jackson County, Mississippi.At the same event, the NAACP president called Mississippi officials "derelict in their duties." But the DA had already met with the family. The FBI is reviewing digital evidence. Sixty...

Nolan Wells — the independent autopsy is back and it answers almost nothing. Cause of death: undetermined. Manner of death: undetermined. But the pathologist flagged something the family's legal team is now pressing hard: Mississippi retained the neck structures from their examination. That means the independent pathologist could not assess whether Nolan was strangled. Mississippi calls it standard procedure. The family calls it a gap that can never be closed.There are three hundred people who were on Horn Island that day. Sixty have been interviewed. The friends who left with Nolan that morning cooperated fully and gave statements consistent wi...

Day 1 of the d4vd preliminary hearing brought sealed evidence into public view. LAPD Robbery-Homicide Detective Joshua Byers testified about a chain of purchases allegedly made under fake identities — "TRavion Davis," "Victoria Mendez" — but traced back to David Anthony Burke's own cards and address. Burke faces first-degree murder charges with special circumstances. He has pleaded not guilty to all counts.Prosecutors presented the purchase timeline in sequence, showing items allegedly acquired in the days, weeks, and months following the alleged death of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The gap between the earliest and latest purchases — a shovel in Apr...

The Lindsay Clancy trial has begun. Both sides agree she killed her three children. What they cannot agree on is whether the woman who did it was criminally responsible — and neither can the audience.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, sits down with Tony Brueski to cover the complete clinical picture across three segments. The first examines what postpartum psychosis actually is — not the conflation with depression, not the baby blues myth, but the psychiatric emergency that involves delusions, hallucinations, and a break from reality invisible to the people around the person experiencing it. Lindsay's providers alle...

Everyone assumes Nolan Wells' phone will prove his friends did something wrong. What if it proves they didn't?The phone and keys that came back from Horn Island without Nolan are headed for a joint forensic inspection — Crump's team, the DA's office, and the FBI all examining the same device. The results will show one of three things: someone manually deleted Snapchat messages, the phone sat idle because Nolan wasn't using it, or the app's built-in auto-delete functions ran on schedule.Two of those outcomes are innocent. Only one suggests tampering. And a forensic examiner ca...
