Hidden Killers Live! Daily True Crime News & Breakdowns

The Patrick Clancy theories got big enough that CNN and Yahoo covered them. Patrick's attorneys at Todd & Weld put out a statement calling the accusations patently false and defamatory, and said they've caused real consequences for his family's safety. This episode does what those articles didn't have room for. It takes fifteen actual comments from this channel and reads the testimony back to each one.

The accusations: a rope on the bedroom door, blood outside the window from an escape, a knife set down by a left-handed man, a mistress, a flight to Europe, an investigation that...

The top comment on the Patrick Clancy video says the caregivers made Lindsay Clancy sick with thirteen drugs in four months, no one tested her hormones, and Patrick was in the basement or in New York. Most of that comment holds up.

The New Yorker reported thirteen psychiatric drugs over four months. Patrick's own wrongful-death lawsuit says eight of them were prescribed inside a three-week window between Nov. 16 and Dec. 5, 2022. Both Patrick and Lindsay are suing her providers for failing to coordinate her care. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington asked the prosecution's rebuttal psychiatrist, Dr. Avram Mack, whether...

Lindsay Clancy acted timely, intentionally, rationally, and swiftly to accomplish a very specific goal. That's a comment on this channel, and it's also the prosecution's case in one sentence. The problem is treating it as a finding.

Massachusetts puts the burden on the Commonwealth. Prosecutors have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Lindsay was criminally responsible. Judge William Sullivan read the jury the test: whether a mental disease left her without substantial capacity to appreciate the wrongfulness of her conduct, or to conform her conduct to the law. Two prongs. A defendant who knew it was...

Did anyone actually investigate Patrick Clancy? That question runs under half the comments on this channel, and the Lindsay Clancy trial already answered it under oath.

State Police Det. Sgt. Andrew Chiachio testified that he mapped the route Patrick drove the night of Jan. 24, 2023, pulled surveillance from the Kingston CVS and the ThreeV restaurant, and interviewed witnesses including Lindsay's mother. The CVS footage shows Patrick walking in at 5:32 p.m. The restaurant footage shows him picking up the order at 5:54. A Cellebrite expert testified Lindsay's phone placed a 14-second call to Patrick between those two clips. He...

On Hidden Killers Live, ex-FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer takes on two cases in one sitting with Tony Brueski. First the Lindsay Clancy trial, where the prosecution's rebuttal psychiatrist carried her description of the voice into the record. Then the Nolan Wells investigation, where the DA's grand jury promise doesn't cover the one device the case turns on.

Clancy's defense rested August 21, 2026, on Dr. Phillip Resnick, the psychiatrist from the Andrea Yates acquittal. He told jurors she was psychotic and following a command voice. Dr. Avram Mack, called by prosecutors, said she knew her actions were wrong and...

Not in the first week. Two days after Nolan Wells vanished on Horn Island, and before any autopsy, the Jackson County sheriff's office declared there was no foul play. Nolan's phone was with his family by then, and no agency had requested it. On Hidden Killers Live, ex-FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and Tony Brueski take on seven weeks of an unexamined phone.

The claim driving this case is that somebody wiped it. Nolan's mother got the device back from his friends within days and says the Snapchat accounts were empty and texts had vanished. The friends maintain...

She did. Dr. Avram Mack, the Commonwealth's rebuttal psychiatrist in the Lindsay Clancy trial, testified that Clancy told him about a male, laughing voice that said it was her last chance. On Hidden Killers Live, ex-FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer argues the guilt side while Tony Brueski runs every credibility attack against the testimony.

The doctor's too old: Resnick is 88 and evaluated her four months out. Mack's evaluation came in April 2026. The chaplain isn't ordained: Cavanaugh also testified Clancy brought up the voice in their first conversations, and her visits number around two hundred.

The voice...

Yes. Lindsay Clancy had a telehealth session with her psychiatrist on January 23, 2023, and killed her three children on January 24. On Hidden Killers Live, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer brings the guilt argument in the Lindsay Clancy trial, and Tony Brueski brings the record.

The defense rested August 21, 2026, on Dr. Phillip Resnick, the forensic psychiatrist from the Andrea Yates acquittal. He testified Clancy was psychotic and obeying a command voice. Prosecutors answered the same day with Dr. Avram Mack, who interviewed her in April 2026 and said she knew her actions were wrong.

Six questions, six...

Two different states. Two different cases. The same pattern: prosecutors making decisions that may cost them the outcome.
In Mississippi, the DA agreed to examine Nolan Wells’ phone, then sent a 48-hour ultimatum that blew up the deal. The phone remains unexamined after six weeks. In Massachusetts, the prosecution spent fourteen days on a case the defense had already conceded — then alienated the jury by asking a mother-in-law about mortal sin, challenging a mother for not committing her daughter, and calling a paralyzed woman’s injuries faked.
Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, evaluates the prosecution’s misste...

Fourteen days. More than seventy witnesses. The prosecution rested its case — and the defense may have been building theirs the entire time. Every prosecution witness who personally knew Lindsay testified under cross that she was a wonderful mother. The defense psychologist has met with Lindsay sixty times and told the jury she was psychotic. Lindsay’s hospital records say “critically ill, postpartum psychosis” while a hospital psychiatrist said she was “calm and cooperative.”
The defense admitted Lindsay killed her children before trial. The only question is criminal responsibility. Eric Faddis, defense attorney and former prosecutor, evaluates what the prosecution...

Three weeks of prosecution testimony in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial ended with more questions about the DA’s courtroom conduct than about the defendant’s guilt. A prosecutor asked Lindsay’s former mother-in-law about mortal sin. The judge struck it. A prosecutor asked Lindsay’s mother why she didn’t have her daughter committed. A State Police investigator acknowledged the prosecution floated a theory that the defense psychologist coached Lindsay to claim she heard voices.
The prosecution told this jury Lindsay faked a suicide attempt. She’s paralyzed from the waist down. Their own psychiatrist saw her fourteen tim...

Nolan Wells’ phone left Horn Island with his friends. His body was found two days later. Six weeks after his death, not a single forensic expert has examined that device. The DA and the family had a deal — a joint examination at the state digital forensics lab. Then the DA sent a 48-hour ultimatum and the deal collapsed.
The phone has been in the family’s possession since they retrieved it. Nolan’s mother went through it herself before any protocol was established. Both Snapchat accounts were empty. The friends gave their phones to the FBI voluntarily. The family i...

Fourteen telehealth sessions. Two hundred hospital visits. Neither person who spent the most time with Lindsay Clancy before or after her three children died in their Duxbury home ever documented the thing her defense now says explains everything. Her psychiatrist testified Clancy never looked psychotic across all fourteen sessions. Her hospital chaplain, who has sat with her roughly two hundred times over three years at Tewksbury Hospital, testified that Clancy described a male voice ordering her to kill her children and then herself. Then the prosecutor asked for the chaplain's notes — and that voice wasn't in a single one of...

Fourteen days. Seventy-plus witnesses. And the moment everyone in the Lindsay Clancy trial is still talking about came from the prosecution's own doctor. Dr. Jennifer Tufts, who prescribed twelve of Lindsay's thirty medications over four months of telehealth-only appointments, never met her patient in person and never pulled records from another clinic treating Lindsay simultaneously. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington asked her directly whether she had. She said no. "Seriously?" he said back. He then read her own chart notes to her — documentation of pressured speech, a possible sign of mania — and she told the courtroom she didn't stand behind them...

Alex Murdaugh's retrial jury may hear him lie to them before they even meet him. Judge Debra McCaslin ruled at an August 14 pretrial hearing that the state can replay Murdaugh's own 2023 sworn testimony for the new jury — including his admission that he wasn't telling the truth about being at the kennels the night his wife and son were killed. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to cover the full hearing. McCaslin also pulled the retrial entirely outside the 14th Judicial Circuit, citing the near impossibility of an unbiased jury in a county where the Murdaugh family ra...

The Lindsay Clancy trial has one detail almost nobody talks about: both the prosecution and Lindsay's own defense attorney agree on what happened. She killed her three children. That's not contested by anyone in the courtroom. Online, it's contested by nearly everyone. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, sits down with Tony Brueski for a two-part conversation on the psychology of an audience that has rejected a fact pattern both sides accept. She explains why correcting a conspiracy theory in real time — walking through the Apple Watch data, the body temperature readings, the actual testimony — tends to make believers dig...

Henry Tenon admitted he killed Jared Bridegan. He took the deal that came with that admission — second-degree murder, fifteen years minimum, and a promise to testify against the two people accused of hiring him. In February 2026, he walked that away. He told the judge he wants a trial. The confession that was supposed to close this case now has to be proven all over again, without him helping. 
Mario Fernandez is the one in the courtroom now, on trial for first-degree murder and solicitation, accused of hiring his former tenant to kill a man he'd never met. An FBI...

The providers responsible for keeping Lindsay Clancy stable in the months before her children died never once compared notes. Four of them treated her. None of them talked to each other. Her nurse practitioner didn't even know she'd seen her psychiatrist fourteen times in four months. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke join Tony Brueski for a full breakdown of what Plymouth Superior Court has heard — and what's coming next. Clancy searched "hallucinations" on her phone five days before the killings. A postpartum treatment program turned her away for being overmedicated already. Sh...

The Tupac Shakur murder trial reached a moment jurors won't forget: autopsy photographs, shown in open court, to a family that has waited almost thirty years for this case to reach a jury. 
Some relatives stayed in the room. Others walked out. One cousin said afterward that he needed to see the images to finally grieve. That's the emotional weight sitting underneath a trial that is, on paper, about a 2008 police interview — one where Duane "Keffe D" Davis was promised that nothing he said could be used against him, then went on to describe riding in the front sea...

The Lindsay Clancy trial has produced a second trial that's happening entirely online — and Patrick Clancy is the one standing in the dock. Robin Dreeke, retired FBI behavioral analyst, and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott join Tony Brueski to break down how two very different corners of the internet reached the same conclusion about a man neither prosecutors nor the defense has ever accused. TikTok watched testimony about a windowsill blood stain and had a full scene constructed by nightfall — Patrick pushing Lindsay through the window. New photos of his second wife got set beside old photos of Lindsay, and a wedd...

There's a version of this story where confessing to murder in open court means you go away for murder. That's not what happened to Luigi Mangione. He pleaded guilty in federal court to two counts of stalking in the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, with no plea deal on the table — nothing negotiated, nothing traded. On the record, he admitted he stalked Thompson to an investor conference, posed as an investor managing tens of billions of dollars to pin down the exact time and place, printed a gun on a 3D printer, and traveled to New York intending to...

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial reached a point this week that even seasoned court-watchers weren't ready for. Two jurors cried as the medical examiner testified to injuries consistent with asphyxia in two of Clancy's children. Clancy sobbed openly at the defense table, telling the courtroom she couldn't get through it. The judge called multiple recesses to let the room reset. Her own defense attorney, fresh off three hours of aggressive cross-examination of her psychiatrist, asked the medical examiner nothing at all.

And then her husband spoke. Patrick Clancy described the last morning his three children were...

In Massachusetts, a psychiatrist testified that she treated Lindsay Clancy fourteen times over four months and never detected psychosis. The last session was the day before Clancy allegedly killed her three children. In Las Vegas, Keffe D's defense attorney opened the Tupac Shakur murder trial by telling the jury that his client's two decades of confessions — to the FBI, on television, and in a published memoir — were fiction designed to sell copies. In Florida, Henry Tenon withdrew the guilty plea he entered after confessing to shooting Jared Bridegan on a dark road while a two-year-old daughter sat in the car...

In February 2026, Henry Tenon stood in front of Judge London Kite in Duval County and said he wanted a trial. He had already confessed to killing Jared Bridegan. He had taken a deal. He had agreed to testify that Mario Fernandez and Shanna Gardner hired him to carry out the shooting. Then he took all of it back. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke sit down with the listener questions this audience cannot stop debating. What would make a man who admitted to murder reverse course and risk life in prison? The prosecution says the only...

The prosecution opened by telling the jury that Keffe D is the one person who couldn't stay quiet about Tupac Shakur's murder. They described a pattern: FBI interviews, a federal task force session, on-camera appearances, and a published memoir called "Compton Street Legend" — all telling the same story about the night of September 7, 1996. The defense stood up and called the entire narrative fiction. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke sit down with the listener questions cutting through this trial. The prosecution concedes the book has inaccuracies and "at least one substantial lie." The defense says law en...

The prosecution rested after fourteen days of testimony in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Prosecutors presented the 911 call, prescription evidence, digital records including an Apple Maps search, and a psychiatrist who told the jury her patient never seemed psychotic despite fourteen treatment sessions. The defense has begun calling its own witnesses. Lindsay Clancy's mother told the court her daughter believed the medications were destroying her mind. Friends and family describe a mother who was present, loving, and fighting to hold herself together in a system that kept changing her prescriptions. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke...

The prosecution says Lindsay killed her children. The defense agrees. Patrick's timeline is documented by surveillance footage, phone records, and the 911 call. And the internet responded by declaring war on itself — men on one side, women on the other, each convinced the other has lost its mind.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski for the complete conversation covering all three parts of their analysis of the culture war surrounding the Lindsay Clancy trial. Part 1 explores why brains reject evidence when the truth is too painful to hold — why the conspiracy theories got louder as more testimony entered the...

Lindsay Clancy has been turned into a symbol. For one side she's proof that mothers are dangerous and deserve the harshest punishment available. For the other she's proof that the medical system destroys women and that the real villain is the husband who moved on. Neither side is talking about a labor and delivery nurse from Duxbury who was prescribed thirteen medications by providers who allegedly never coordinated — a woman who got sick and lost everything.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, joins Tony Brueski for the final part of their three-part conversation on the psychology of th...

Patrick Clancy is getting death threats from both directions. The men who want Lindsay punished blame him for leaving the house. The women who've decided he's the real killer blame him for everything. He lost three children, testified for the prosecution, publicly forgave his former wife, and moved to New York to start over. None of it stopped either camp from targeting him.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Nightbird, joins Tony Brueski to explain the one thing both sides share — and neither side can see. The men and the women are running the same psychological program. Both sk...

Lindsay Clancy's own attorney told the jury she killed her children. The prosecution agrees. Patrick Clancy's errand timeline has been verified by CVS surveillance, phone records, and the 911 call. Every conspiracy claim circulating on TikTok — the body temperature, the Apple Watch, the timeline gaps — has been addressed in testimony or doesn't survive contact with the evidence.

The theories haven't slowed down. They've accelerated. And the people posting them aren't stupid. They cite timestamps, reference medical records, and build chains of logic that look like research.

The prosecution rested in the Lindsay Clancy trial at Plymouth Superior Court. The defense called three witnesses the same afternoon. And TikTok kept building a case against Patrick Clancy. Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke cover the full picture.Fourteen days of prosecution testimony produced more than seventy witnesses. Patrick Clancy gave the jury a mother's best day and a wife's worst months. Medical providers admitted under cross they never coordinated Lindsay's care.

Three courtrooms. Three critical moments. One retired FBI agent covering all of them.

Lindsay Clancy's trial at Plymouth Superior Court is in week three. The jury has heard that four mental health providers prescribed her thirteen medications and never communicated with each other. Clancy searched "hallucinations" on her phone before the killings. She jumped from a window after and is permanently paralyzed. The published infanticide rate for postpartum psychosis is four percent.

Not one of the four providers treating Lindsay Clancy before January 24, 2023, ever contacted another to compare notes on her care. Her psychiatrist saw her fourteen times. Her nurse practitioner had no record of those visits. When Clancy admitted herself to a locked psychiatric ward, her outpatient providers were not informed.

Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski on Hidden Killers Live to cover what the trial testimony at Plymouth Superior Court has shown about a fractured mental health system and a mother who fell through it.

Week 3 of the Lindsay Clancy murder trial produced psychiatric witnesses who undercut the prosecution's case, autopsy testimony that left the courtroom in tears, and a conspiracy theory about Patrick Clancy that has no basis in the evidence.

Clancy has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. She admits to killing her children. Her defense argues she was overmedicated and in a postpartum psychotic state. Prosecutors say she was deliberate.

Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries was present throughout the week at...

Every person in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial agrees that Lindsay killed her three children. She admitted it. Her attorney Kevin Reddington admitted it. Patrick Clancy confirmed it on the witness stand. The prosecution built their entire case around it. No one disputes what happened inside that Duxbury home in January 2023.

On TikTok, millions of people have decided Patrick is the killer. The conspiracy says he framed Lindsay and pushed her from the window. The evidence behind the theory is a pair of boots.
