Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

Elizabeth Siders pleaded not guilty to 23 charges on September 16, including four felony counts alleging the abuse of a child who is not one of her 16. She appeared in court visibly pregnant. Her bond sits at $550,000.

Her 16 children were found on June 30 in a 12-by-12-foot room in Hamden, Ohio. Feces, insects, children who couldn’t speak. The AG called it "pure evil." Seven were hospitalized. The oldest is 18 and can’t spell her own name.

Elizabeth was 15 when she married. Her attorney argues she was pregnant for two decades with no medical care and no postpartum recovery. Relatives say she was "indoctrinated." But she also delivered children at hospitals in three cities, attended school through 11th grade, and was present for two CPS investigations that the family responded to by blocking a caseworker and then disappearing with a fake address.

On August 21, a grand jury indicted her for allegedly harming a minor relative at 29. Her father-in-law was ruled incompetent on September 9 and will likely walk free. The question: does Elizabeth’s record support the same claim, or does it destroy it?

David Hammond's cross-examination in the Caleb Flynn trial put one missing piece squarely in front of the jury: investigators never recovered the firearm used on Ashley Flynn. Hammond, a special agent with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, also testified that he never interviewed Caleb Flynn during his work on the case. 

Defense questioning moved from what investigators collected to what they did not do. Hammond said he did not weigh the refrigerator that was positioned against the garage entry door, and he did not try to move it. Earlier, Hammond had testified that the damage around that door did not look consistent with burglaries he had investigated. 

The defense then offered another explanation for how someone could have entered the garage. Counsel presented a theory that a person could have used a garage-door signal to open the door rather than forcing it. That was a defense theory raised during cross-examination, not a finding Hammond testified had been established. 

Caleb Flynn, 40, has pleaded not guilty to charges including aggravated murder in the death of his wife, Ashley Flynn, 37. Prosecutors allege Caleb killed Ashley and staged the Tipp City home to resemble a burglary. The defense says a real intruder killed Ashley and investigators rushed to blame Caleb. 

On redirect, prosecutors returned to forensic testing. Hammond testified that gunshot residue is fragile evidence and said it is not used that often. His answer gave the state a response to questions about what forensic evidence investigators did or did not pursue, but it does not change the basic point raised on cross: the firearm itself was never recovered. 

This portion of Hammond's testimony gave jurors competing ways to view the investigation. The prosecution has used his scene observations to support its staging theory. The defense used cross-examination to underline missing evidence, investigative choices, and an alternate way the garage could have been opened.

John-Paul Miller's federal trial is set for October 2026, but the investigation didn't take the summer off. Miller was indicted in December 2025 on federal charges of cyberstalking and making false statements to investigators. The indictment alleges a sustained campaign of harassment against his estranged wife Mica that ran from November 2022 until her death on April 27, 2024. GPS trackers on her car. More than 50 calls in a single day. Intimate images posted without her consent. Interference with her daily life and her finances. Tire damage. Mica was found dead at Lumber River State Park in Robeson County, North Carolina. Her death was ruled a suicide. Miller was released on $100,000 bond with electronic monitoring and ordered to surrender his passport. Solid Rock Church — the Myrtle Beach ministry at the center of everything — closed after public protests erupted following Mica's death. The Netflix documentary Death of the Pastor's Wife brought the allegations to millions in August 2026. 

Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down what federal investigators do when a case goes quiet publicly. How they flip enablers. How they track digital footprints and build financial cases alongside the criminal one. And whether the people who allegedly helped Miller understand what a federal investigation means for them. Miller has pleaded not guilty. He faces up to seven years in prison if convicted on both counts.

David Hammond returned after the mid-morning break with the Caleb Flynn case moving from entry points into the physical evidence collected around Ashley Flynn. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation special agent identified bullet fragments recovered from Ashley, Caleb Flynn's wife and the murder victim, as well as fragments collected from the scene. 

Hammond also discussed latent prints investigators collected. His testimony described another category of evidence documented inside the home without turning the mere existence of a print into an identification. That distinction matters because the defense has argued investigators do not have forensic evidence proving Caleb fired the shots. 

Caleb Flynn, 40, has pleaded not guilty to 11 charges, including aggravated murder. Prosecutors allege he killed Ashley and staged the Tipp City home to resemble a home-invasion burglary. The defense says an intruder killed Ashley and investigators decided Caleb was responsible too quickly. 

The prosecution then asked Hammond where the investigation ultimately led him. Hammond testified that, based on his investigative work, he believed Ashley's death was a homicide and the scene had been staged as a burglary. That is Hammond's conclusion as a state investigator, not a finding the jury is required to accept. 

This portion of Hammond's testimony pulls together the evidence jurors had already heard him describe. Earlier, he questioned whether the garage-door damage looked like a real forced entry. After the break, the testimony moved through bullet fragments and latent prints before prosecutors asked him to state his overall conclusion about the scene. 

For the state, that conclusion supports the allegation that the burglary appearance was manufactured after Ashley was killed. For the defense, Hammond's opinion is exactly the kind of investigative judgment it says should be tested against what the physical evidence can actually prove.

Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson called the alleged leak of unredacted Kohberger crime-scene photographs "unconscionable." Then he said something more damaging than any photograph: he doesn't know if his office can take legal action against whoever did it.

A YouTube creator with nine thousand subscribers had claimed on camera that she possessed unredacted images of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin — wounds visible, no redaction — and told her audience to stay tuned. On September 15th, Thompson's office joined Moscow Police and Idaho State Police in a public warning. But the warning carried no teeth.

Senate Bill 1250 passed unanimously in March 2026 and took effect July 1st. It exempts death-investigation photographs from public-records disclosure. It tells government agencies what they can't release. It does not say what happens to a private person who already has the file and hits upload. The front door got a lock. The side door is a hallway of copied hard drives.

This episode traces the two-year failure chain: a Dateline leak in May 2025 still under investigation with no public result, families suing over sloppy redactions, a judge ordering bodies blacked out, Idaho State Police botching a release of nearly three thousand images, and a corrections employee leaking Kohberger prison video with no criminal charges filed. The pattern is identical each time: leak, investigate, nobody gets charged, move on.

Thompson's admission isn't weakness. It's the diagnosis. The system was built to copy evidence, not to protect the dead from the internet.

David Hammond's testimony moved from the doors of the Flynn home to the evidence tied to the shooting itself. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation special agent told jurors about the truck Caleb Flynn said contained his gun. He also described what investigators documented inside the bedroom where Ashley Flynn, 37, Caleb's wife and the victim in the murder case, was found dead. 

The prosecution questioned Hammond for roughly the first two hours of Day 2, moving through photographs of the house before reaching the truck and bedroom evidence. That broader scene documentation is the context for his conclusions about what investigators found inside. 

Hammond testified that investigators swabbed the area of Caleb's truck where Caleb said his gun had been kept in the center console. That collection step documented a location Caleb identified as the place the gun was stored. 
Inside the bedroom, Hammond testified that investigators found 9mm shell casings. He then gave jurors his opinion about Ashley's position at the time she was shot. Hammond said Ashley was asleep or lying still when the shots were fired. 

That opinion matters because prosecutors allege Caleb Flynn, 40, killed Ashley and staged the house to look like a home-invasion burglary. The defense says a burglar killed Ashley and argues investigators rushed to focus on Caleb. Caleb has pleaded not guilty to all 11 charges, including aggravated murder. 

This portion of Hammond's testimony connects three separate pieces jurors will have to keep distinct: where Caleb said the gun was stored, what investigators collected from the truck, and what Hammond believes the bedroom evidence says about Ashley's movement. None of those points, standing alone, decides who fired the shots. But Hammond's testimony gives prosecutors a forensic narrative about what happened in that room and gives the defense specific conclusions to challenge as the trial continues.

David Hammond took jurors straight to the part of the Caleb Flynn case that has to support a home-invasion story: the entry points. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation special agent testified about the photos he took throughout the Tipp City home where Ashley Flynn, 37, Caleb Flynn's wife and the victim in the murder case, was found dead. 

Hammond documented doors, windows, entrances and exits. At the garage door, he testified that the handle was broken, but the soft wood surrounding it showed no marks suggesting someone had attacked the handle from outside. He also noted a refrigerator positioned against the door. According to Hammond, the deadbolt and the door frame showed no damage. 

That combination immediately mattered because Caleb Flynn's defense says Ashley was killed during a home-invasion burglary and investigators rushed to blame him. Prosecutors allege Caleb staged the scene to make Ashley's death look like a burglary. Caleb, 40, has pleaded not guilty to all 11 charges, including aggravated murder. 

Hammond told the jury the garage-door damage did not look right to him. He testified, "The damage was inconsistent with any burglaries I've worked on in my experience as an investigator." Aside from the broken handle, Hammond said he found no sign that the door had actually been forced open. 

The prosecution spent roughly the first two hours of Day 2 walking Hammond through the physical scene. That makes this testimony less about one dramatic object and more about whether the house itself supports the story jurors are being asked to evaluate. A broken handle may sound like evidence of entry. Hammond's testimony asks jurors to look at everything around that handle before deciding what it means.

Caleb Flynn's defense comes down to a coincidence the prosecution says nobody should believe. He claims a burglar stole his own 9mm handgun from his Ford pickup truck on the exact night someone used that weapon to shoot his wife Ashley twice in the head inside their Tipp City, Ohio, home. Then the burglar vanished, leaving the two young Flynn daughters untouched in the next room. Prosecutors say Caleb staged the entire scene. He was arrested within 82 hours and indicted on 11 charges — aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, tampering with evidence, and witness intimidation. His bond was set at $3.5 million. But the trial in Miami County is about to deliver something worse than physical evidence for the defense. Those two daughters are on the prosecution's witness list. A judge ruled they will testify — audio only, no video cameras. The woman with whom Caleb was allegedly having an affair is also set to testify. The jury will hear the secret Caleb allegedly kept from Ashley, from her family, and from the community that knew them as a devoted couple. Defense attorney L. Patrick Mulligan has 128 names on his own witness list. 

Robin Dreeke and Jennifer Coffindaffer break down what the defense is working with, what happens when a public persona collapses under oath, and how a jury weighs a father's story against his own children's testimony. Caleb Flynn has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The internet built an entire conspiracy theory around the way Patrick Clancy looked on the witness stand. He didn't cry the right way. He didn't grieve the right way. So they decided he must be guilty of something. Patrick told 60 Minutes what actually happened: he had a massive panic attack in the back room before testifying. He nearly didn't go back in. He forced himself to return and finish. The cameras captured a man who looked composed. The back room held a man who was falling apart. Patrick also said he forgave Lindsay immediately — not because she asked, but because the alternative was letting the rage destroy him. Robin Dreeke analyzes the gap between how trauma presents and how the internet demands it look — and what it costs a grieving father when strangers treat his worst day as content.

Caleb Flynn was sobbing on the phone with a 911 dispatcher at 2:30 in the morning, telling them somebody broke into his Tipp City, Ohio, home and killed his wife Ashley. Two gunshot wounds to her head. Their two young daughters asleep in the next room. A burglar he never saw, using a gun that prosecutors say belonged to Caleb himself. Within hours, investigators from Tipp City police, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, and the FBI were inside that house and the home invasion story was already falling apart. The physical staging didn't match. The details Caleb gave the dispatcher didn't track with a man who had just discovered his wife's body. Eighty-two hours after that call, Caleb Flynn was in the back of a police car. The former American Idol contestant and worship leader — the man who once told a national audience he loved his wife more than anything — was headed to the Miami County Jail. A grand jury indicted him on 11 charges including aggravated murder, felonious assault, tampering with evidence, and witness intimidation. His bond was set at $3.5 million. 

Robin Dreeke and Jennifer Coffindaffer sit down to dissect the prosecution's evidence. The 911 call. The botched staging. The forensic trail. And the behavioral tells that put law enforcement on Caleb before Ashley's family had even buried her. Caleb Flynn has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
