March 22, 2024Facade of Tears, The Murder Of Maddie Soto
In the "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski" podcast, body language expert Susan Constantine dissects the interviews and public appearances of a mother and her partner following the mysterious disappearance of their daughter. The conversation uncovers a myriad of deceptive cues and emotional incongruences that suggest a deeper involvement in the crime. Key insights include:
Misplaced Comforting: The unnatural dynamic of the mother comforting the partner, rather than vice versa, raises suspicions about their genuine emotional states and unity in deception.
Deceptive Emotional Displays: Both the mother and the partner exhibit fake emotional distress, characterized by the absence of genuine tears and appropriate facial expressions of sadness.
Manipulation of Narrative: Their accounts contain strategic omissions and manipulative word choices aimed at misleading the investigation and controlling public perception.
Partial Truths as Stress Relief: The partner's admission of feeling responsible and his description of the daughter as "sleeping" during the drive are analyzed as partial truths, potentially revealing their guilt and cognitive strategies to alleviate the stress of lying.
Discrepancies in Body Language and Verbal Statements: Inconsistent gestures, lack of appropriate facial expressions, and mismatched story details suggest a concerted effort to appear grieving without the genuine emotional underpinning.
Warning to Single Parents: Constantine concludes with a cautionary message about the dangers of introducing new partners to children's lives without thorough vetting, highlighting the risks posed by predatory individuals.

March 22, 2024The Christian Excuse, Misinterpreting Faith in Audrii Cunningham's Story
In a revealing episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott provides critical insights into the tragic case of 11-year-old Audrii Cunningham. The conversation focuses on the deeply flawed decision-making by Audrii's grandparents and father, who allowed a dangerous individual with ties to the Aryan Brotherhood onto their property under the guise of Christian charity. Key points from their discussion include:
Misguided Actions: Audrii's family attempted to deflect blame for their catastrophic decision by pushing for legislative changes, overlooking their direct responsibility in the tragedy.
Distorted Rationalization: The grandparents' rationalization for their actions, including minimizing the severity of sex offender registry offenses and advocating for "Audrii's Law," demonstrates a failure to grasp the gravity of their error.
Inexplicable Presentation: The family's media interviews, characterized by bizarre staging and matching t-shirts, suggest an attempt to sway public perception rather than express genuine grief.
Avoidance of Responsibility: The grandmother's insistence that they did everything right, despite the obvious risk posed by their guest, highlights a disturbing lack of accountability.
Absence of Common Sense: The family's lack of judgment, from initially welcoming the individual to their current media crusade, underscores a profound absence of common sense and understanding of the real dangers their decision posed to Audrii.

The conversation reveals significant insights into the deceptive behaviors and emotional detachment displayed by Madeline's mother, Jen Soto, and her partner, highlighting their potential involvement and knowledge of the events leading to Madeline's tragic end.

Deceptive Narratives: Constantine points out the constructed narratives by Jen Soto and her partner, suggesting their knowledge of the crime before Madeline's body was discovered.
Significance of the Birthday Party: The discussion about Madeline's birthday party, particularly the mother's absence and statements, is analyzed as a potential trigger event leading to the tragedy.
Lack of Emotional Consistency: The absence of genuine emotional distress in Jen Soto's demeanor, coupled with specific word choices and statement structures, signals deception.

March 21, 2024 'Caught Up in the Moment' Audrii Cunningham's Family Minimizing Responsibility in a Tragedy
In a poignant episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Shavaun Scott, a psychotherapist and author, delves into the complex and tragic case of 11-year-old Audrii Cunningham. Her family's decision to welcome a dangerous individual onto their property under the guise of Christian charity led to devastating consequences. The discussion with Scott uncovers:

• Misguided Decisions: The family's grave error in judgment by allowing a person with a dangerous background to be in close proximity to Audrii, rationalized by a misguided sense of Christian duty.
• Legislative Distraction: The grandparents' focus on creating "Audrii's Law" to close registry loopholes, rather than acknowledging their role in the tragedy, suggests a deflection of responsibility.
• Justifying the Unjustifiable: The grandfather's comments minimizing the seriousness of sex offender registry entries indicate a concerning moral and cognitive dissonance.
• Staged Grief: The family's interview setup, with matching t-shirts and a backdrop of Audrii's pictures, appeared contrived, raising questions about the authenticity of their public mourning.

March 20, 2024Echoes of Deception, Unraveling Jennifer Soto's Tale
In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Susan Constantine, a body language expert, delves into interviews concerning the case of a missing girl, scrutinizing the mother, Jen Soto's, verbal and non-verbal communication for signs of potential deception and emotional detachment regarding her daughter's disappearance. The discussion highlights several critical aspects:
Camera Footage Discrepancy: Contrary to earlier statements about existing camera footage showing the girl near her school, it is later clarified that no such evidence was found. Constantine critiques the justifications given for the absence of conclusive footage.
Hearsay and Repetition: Jen Soto's tendency to repeat hearsay as if it were fact is noted, a method that facilitates seamless deception because it is based on memory rather than invention.
Physical Signs of Deception: Observable signs of deceit, such as gulping and shoulder shrugging, along with a lack of visible distress in Jen's facial expressions, are identified as deception indicators.
Emotional Detachment: The lack of expected emotional distress, including tears or expressions of sadness, points to a disconnection from the grave situation. The absence of personal references to her missing daughter further underscores this detachment.
Absence of a Call to Action: The unusual absence of a direct plea for assistance in finding her daughter is highlighted as abnormal behavior for a parent in crisis.
Analysis of Story Structure: The structure of Jen Soto's narrative is analyzed, revealing an imbalance between the lead-up, body, and conclusion, which deviates from typical storytelling patterns.

In a compelling episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott provides a deep dive into the tragic case of 13-year-old Maddie Soto. With 60 criminal abuse charges filed against Stephan Stearns, the situation reveals a dark tapestry of abuse and manipulation within the family unit. Key discussion points include:
Maddie's Mother's Behavior: The interviews depict a mother overwhelmed by anxiety rather than grief, raising questions about her truthfulness and potential complicity in her daughter's abuse.
Stephan Stearns' False Narratives: Stearns' pre-arrest interview showcases a lack of genuine emotion and a propensity for fabricating stories, hinting at manipulative and narcissistic traits common among perpetrators of abuse.
Dissecting Family Dynamics: Scott suggests that Maddie's mother may exhibit dependent personality traits, prioritizing Stearns' needs over her daughter's safety, a phenomenon alarmingly common yet often overlooked.
Complicity and Rationalization: The conversation underscores the mother's potential rationalization of Stearns' actions and her own role in the abuse, pointing to deep-seated psychological issues and a history of manipulation within the family.
