Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

From inside solitary, Joseph Duggar has been performing the role of a man reborn. Bible readings. Hours of prayer. A new translation because the old one didn’t work anymore. He found the Book of Ruth and told Kendra it encouraged him — the story of an outcast restored by grace. He has cast himself as the character who deserves mercy.

He never opened Matthew 18. The chapter where Jesus places a child in front of his disciples and says that anyone who causes harm to a little one would be better off drowned with a millstone around their neck. That’s not commentary. That’s Christ. And He said it in three Gospels.

Across every recorded conversation from Washington County Detention Center, Joseph fills the time with himself — his spiritual progress, his feelings, his business operations, his discomfort. He tells Kendra he’s upset to be “in this situation.” He tells her their view of God was “tainted by the people around us.” He redistributes blame while she absorbs it. He gaslights her with theology. And Kendra — a 27-year-old woman facing her own criminal charges — responds by telling him everybody loves him and warning him to watch what they put on the messaging system.

The victim is never mentioned. Not in this call. Not in any call. Not once. Joseph Duggar erased her completely — and filled the silence with his own redemption arc. His own Scripture says that’s not how this ends. Three Gospels. One millstone. The sea.

A five-year-old girl sits in front of Wisdom Booklet 36. She can’t fully read it yet. But the framework is already being installed: if something happens to you, the first question is what did you do wrong. The Duggar family curriculum taught girls that male lust was their fault to manage. Eye trap quizzes. Modesty frameworks built on Old Testament law. Biblical victims rewritten as cautionary tales. And a counseling document that assumed abuse survivors bore guilt until proven otherwise. Then the man who wrote all of it was accused of harassment by more than thirty women. We trace the line between the teachings and the silence they allegedly produced.

Parents in rural Iowa warned their children for decades — don't go back into the hollow, stay away from Don Studey. He was the boogeyman of Green Hollow. And when criminal defense attorney Bob Motta went into the small towns of Tabor and Thurman to start interviewing locals about the alleged Green Hollow Killer, he found out the legend ran deeper than anyone knew. 

A deputy on the fence line at the dig site casually mentioned that John Wayne Gacy's first known victim — Tim McCoy — was from Green Hollow and related to the Studey family. Bob had produced thirty-six episodes on the Gacy case and had been talking to Lucy Studey-McKiddy for months about her father. 

She never mentioned it. In town, Bob was welcomed with open arms. The mayor invited him to dinner. Everyone had a story. People who knew Don Studey personally said they believed Lucy's claims. The older generation had firsthand accounts of who Studey was. The younger generation had grown up hearing the warnings. And then the intelligence got darker — alleged connections between Don Studey and motorcycle clubs, reported ties to the Kansas City mob, and a direct connection to an unsolved supper club robbery where people were shot and killed. Multiple sources reportedly pointed at Studey as one of the participants. 

The community had been sitting on these stories for decades. Bob Motta was the first person they felt comfortable telling. This is part two of a conversation that changes how you see the Don Studey case.

He wasn't invited. He drove six hours anyway. And he ended up closer to the Green Hollow dig than most of the local cops who were actually assigned to be there. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta had spent months investigating the allegations that Donald Dean Studey — the alleged Green Hollow Killer — buried dozens of women in wells on a remote Iowa property near Thurman in Fremont County. He'd been on the phone with Lucy Studey-McKiddy for over a hundred hours, vetting her story, probing for inconsistencies, trying to figure out if she was telling the truth. 

When word came that federal agencies were moving on the property, Bob got in a rental car that happened to look exactly like an unmarked police vehicle and drove straight to Green Hollow. He arrived in the middle of the night. He drove into the hollow in pitch darkness. He started going live on TikTok — and by the next morning, every local deputy in the area had seen his videos. He got waved past a checkpoint by a deputy who thought he was law enforcement. The sheriff confronted him. And Bob talked his way onto the fence line where he could watch the FBI, the Iowa DCI, and the Fremont County Sheriff's Office core-drill into a well on the property. 

He saw the cadaver dog markers — pink ribbons on trees where the dogs had hit. He heard crews working in the area Lucy had described. After three days, the agencies closed the case. Lucy says they searched the wrong well. Bob says the story is far from over. This is part one of a conversation you don't want to miss.

Sandra Birchmore believed Matthew Farwell was coming around. He brought ginger ale to her apartment. She texted a friend that things were getting better. She was pregnant, making plans, contacting lawyers, preparing for a future she would never see. Farwell was making different plans entirely.

According to federal prosecutors, Farwell told one person that if Sandra didn’t end the pregnancy, he would “take care of the problem himself.” He told another he needed to “put crazy back in the bag.” He told a third that “the problem was going to take care of itself.” Three different people. Three different conversations. All pointing toward a man who viewed a pregnant woman as a problem to be eliminated.

Sandra wasn’t just talking to friends. She had contacted lawyers. Prosecutors say she was developing a plan for child support and was prepared to disclose that Farwell had abused her since she was underage. For a married detective with a pregnant wife at home, Sandra had become an existential threat to everything he’d built.

Then came January 20, 2021. Eleven days before Sandra’s death. Her friend called the Stoughton Police Department to report Farwell’s relationship with Sandra. The department employee who took the call told Farwell. The institution that should have protected Sandra hand-delivered the warning to the man prosecutors say killed her.

On February 1, surveillance cameras captured Sandra walking in and out of her Canton apartment building. At 9:27 PM, Farwell entered. At 9:56 PM, he left. Sandra was never seen alive again.

This is Part 2 of a five-part series on the Sandra Birchmore case.

Three cases. All of them active. All of them moving fast. And all of them driven by the same fundamental failure: the people closest to the victims are allegedly the ones responsible for the harm.

Nick Reiner is being held without bail on two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances after allegedly stabbing his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, inside their Brentwood home. He’s pled not guilty. And reports say he’s allegedly working on a revenge tell-all from his cell — not to seek accountability, but reportedly to burn the family that spent years and countless dollars trying to keep him alive. Your questions about the behavioral profile, the defense strategy, and what this means for Jake and Romy are answered here.

The autopsy for Celeste Rivas Hernandez has been released. She was fourteen. She weighed seventy-one pounds. The singer known as D4vd — David Anthony Burke — faces first-degree murder charges with special circumstances, abuse of a minor, and mutilation of remains. Prosecutors have forty terabytes of evidence and allege the killing was financially motivated. He’s pled not guilty. Your questions about the wiretap, the grand juries, and the adults who allegedly failed this child are addressed.

And Joseph Duggar is home on $600,000 bond, charged in Florida with conduct involving a child under twelve. He and Kendra face separate endangerment and false imprisonment charges in Arkansas. His bond says no unsupervised contact with minors. He has four kids under eight. Your questions about how that actually works and what the family’s response reveals are answered.

Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief, joins for a full listener Q&A.

All individuals discussed are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

On February 16, 2026, a 911 call came in from a quiet cul-de-sac in Tipp City, Ohio. A man, barely able to speak through sobs, reported that someone had broken into his home and shot his wife. She was in bed with two gunshot wounds to the head. Their two young daughters were asleep in another room. He said the garage door was wide open. He said he didn't know if the intruder was still there.

What police found when they arrived at 932 Cunningham Court allegedly contradicted nearly every detail of that call. A side door to the garage was open but blocked by a large refrigerator. The center console of the truck where Caleb Flynn said he kept his handgun was open. Ashley Flynn  --  mother, teacher, volleyball coach  --  was dead. And investigators would later write in the criminal complaint that they had been "led astray by the staging of the crime scene."

Caleb Flynn was arrested 82 hours later. He's been in the Miami County Jail on $3.5 million bond ever since, charged with aggravated murder and 10 additional counts. He has pleaded not guilty.

Part 1 of our four-part pre-trial series breaks down every publicly known detail of that night  --  the call, the bodycam footage, the voluntary police interview, and the arrest that ripped through a community. This is where the story starts.

Joseph Duggar is home. Out on $600,000 bond. Charged in Florida with conduct involving a child under twelve. Facing separate charges in Arkansas alongside his wife Kendra for child endangerment and false imprisonment. And the family that built an empire on wholesome values and reality television is fracturing in real time.

According to the arrest affidavit, a fourteen-year-old girl told investigators Joseph inappropriately touched her during a 2020 family trip when she was nine. Her father confronted him. Joseph allegedly admitted it. Detectives monitored a second call — and say he admitted it again. His defense attorney pled not guilty on his behalf. Meanwhile, a search of the Duggar home in Tontitown, Arkansas, reportedly turned up evidence of conditions that led to the additional charges, including locks found on the outside of children’s bedroom doors.

One Duggar sibling called the alleged conduct evil. Another said she had no prior knowledge. Kendra is reportedly standing by Joseph. The accuser’s family has lost their home. And Joseph’s own father wrote him from the outside saying God has already forgiven him — the same family playbook that ran when his older brother Josh was convicted on federal charges.

Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief, answers your questions about the behavioral patterns that keep repeating in this family and why the response looks exactly the way it does.

Jake Reiner just did something most people in his position never find the courage to do. Four months after his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home, he wrote about it — publicly, personally, and without a filter. He called it his living nightmare. He described the phone call from his sister that split his life in two. He wrote about parents who were his foundation, his guiding lights, the people he’d trade every privileged moment to spend one more hour with.

And while Jake laid that grief bare, reports emerged that his brother Nick — the man accused of their parents’ murders — is allegedly doing the opposite from inside Twin Towers Correctional Facility. According to Globe magazine insiders, Nick is reportedly planning a revenge tell-all aimed at exposing family secrets and settling scores with the people who have reportedly abandoned him since his arrest.

Tony Brueski unpacks the collision between these two realities and what it exposes about the Reiner family dynamic. Nick’s reported mental state has been described by multiple sources as delusional — a man who allegedly acknowledges the act but believes his incarceration is a conspiracy. His schizoaffective disorder, a documented history of addiction, and a reported medication change before the murders are all part of a picture that raises hard questions about accountability, illness, and the limits of what a family can survive.

Jake’s essay and Nick’s reported tell-all aren’t just competing narratives. They represent two fundamentally different responses to the same catastrophe — one rooted in truth, the other allegedly rooted in the same pattern of manipulation that, according to those who know this family, defined the relationship for years. This episode explores what happens when grief and delusion collide inside a family already shattered beyond repair.

Burn the Cabbage Patch dolls. Destroy the rock music. Pray away the depression. Investigate the sins of your adopted child’s birth parents. This was the health and science education inside the Wisdom Booklets and IBLP’s companion medical pamphlets — the same curriculum the Duggar family used. The Medical Training Institute of America issued guidance without a single licensed physician. It told families that dolls caused difficult childbirth, that mental illness was a character defect, and that circumcision was a spiritual requirement. We go inside the pseudoscience and show you what was taught as God’s truth.
