  • Why Hasn’t Anyone Been Charged In D4VD Tesla Death Case? FBI Agent Breaks Down the Gaps

    Why Hasn’t Anyone Been Charged In D4VD Tesla Death Case? FBI Agent Breaks Down the Gaps

    Why Hasn’t Anyone Been Charged In D4VD Tesla Death Case? FBI Agent Breaks Down the Gaps

    Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found dead in the front trunk of a Tesla that had been marked, cited, and towed — and no one noticed for weeks. One year earlier, she was reported missing. Five months later, she was caught on video near her family’s home. And now, a month after her body was discovered, there’s still no arrest. No charges. No confirmed suspect.

    This case isn’t closed — but it’s not moving either.

    In this Hidden Killers segment, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer returns to walk us through the critical investigative red flags law enforcement should be acting on right now. She’s not speculating. She’s speaking as someone who’s handled these cases firsthand — when the pressure is high, the evidence is fading, and the public is losing trust.

    She covers:


    • The tow yard failures — and what investigators may have missed in that 72-hour window


    • How digital evidence from the Tesla or cell phones should be prioritized (and why delays can destroy a case)


    • What the FBI would look for in the family’s timeline gaps if Celeste was known to be back home


    • Whether law enforcement is being too cautious — or just doesn’t have the evidence


    • Why the lack of a crime scene makes this exponentially harder — and what you chase when you have no location, no cause of death, and no murder weapon

      This is a behind-the-scenes look at how the federal system would handle this investigation, what law enforcement should be doing today — and why they may already be running out of time.

  • D4VD’s Tesla, a Body, and No Arrests: FBI Veteran Unpacks the Investigation

    D4VD’s Tesla, a Body, and No Arrests: FBI Veteran Unpacks the Investigation

    D4VD’s Tesla, a Body, and No Arrests: FBI Veteran Unpacks the Investigation

    Celeste Rivas Hernandez was just 13 when she was reported missing in April 2024. But five months later, a home surveillance camera caught her outside her house — alive. Then, a year later to the day, her decomposed body was found in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to rising music artist d4vd.

    No arrests. No suspect. And the LAPD says it’s still “unclear whether there’s any criminal culpability beyond concealment.”

    So how does this look through federal eyes?

    In this episode, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to walk us through the investigation — step by step — the way it would be handled by a federal team. She breaks down the real priorities when a child is found dead in a vehicle. What evidence disappears first. What should’ve been locked down within hours. And what law enforcement could still be missing entirely.

    We dig into:


    • The administrative timeline of the Tesla — marked, ticketed, towed, then searched


    • How the gap between April 2024 and Sept 2025 should’ve been reconstructed


    • Why chain of custody around viral evidence like the Tesla keycard could tank a case


    • How the FBI uses vehicle telemetry, phone records, and location data to build a profile — even when no cause of death is determined


    • And what Jennifer would do right now if this case landed back on her desk

    If you’ve been asking, Where are the charges? — this is the conversation that finally explains why we might not have them yet. And what it’s going to take to make sure this case doesn’t go cold.

  • Why Hasn't D4vd Been Charged? FBI Agent & Prosecutor Unpack Celeste's Case Tesla, Timeline, and a Celebrity’s Silence — FBI & Legal Experts on D4vd Case

    Why Hasn't D4vd Been Charged? FBI Agent & Prosecutor Unpack Celeste's Case Tesla, Timeline, and a Celebrity’s Silence — FBI & Legal Experts on D4vd Case

    Why Hasn't D4vd Been Charged? FBI Agent & Prosecutor Unpack Celeste's Case Tesla, Timeline, and a Celebrity’s Silence — FBI & Legal Experts on D4vd Case

    How does a 13-year-old vanish, reappear on camera months later, and still end up dead in the trunk of a Tesla? And how does that car — tied to a rising music star — sit for days on a street, then in a tow yard, before anyone makes the discovery?
    In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski is joined by retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and defense attorney/former prosecutor Eric Faddis to break down the unanswered questions in the Celeste Rivas Hernandez / d4vd case.

    Coffindaffer brings the federal playbook to the table: how agents work fractured timelines, what evidence degrades the fastest in cases like this, and whether the Tesla’s digital logs could be the silent witness that cracks the case. She also explains why the lack of charges doesn’t necessarily mean investigators have nothing — it may mean they’re chasing something bigger.

    Then Faddis steps in to unpack the legal side. What does it mean when LAPD says it’s “unclear if there’s criminal culpability beyond concealment”? Could a prosecutor really stop at improper disposal of a body, even with a celebrity connection? And is the silence from d4vd’s camp a smart legal strategy — or a growing liability?

    Finally, the conversation pivots to Sean 'Diddy' Combs, facing a sentencing battle that could swing from just over a year to more than a decade in federal prison. Faddis explains the tug-of-war between prosecution and defense — and what it says about how celebrity defendants are treated when their past finally collides with federal law.

    Two cases. Two headlines. One theme: when the system bends under the weight of fame, does justice break?

  • Inside Bryan Kohberger’s Murder-Morning Shopping Trip & What the Survivors Endured

    Inside Bryan Kohberger’s Murder-Morning Shopping Trip & What the Survivors Endured
    Oct 1 2025
    Inside Bryan Kohberger’s Murder-Morning Shopping Trip & What the Survivors Endured

    Two threads. One killer. And a behavioral trail that doesn’t lie.
    In this combined breakdown, I’m joined by Robin Dreeke to walk through two critical pieces of the Kohberger case:

    The post-murder shopping footage, where Kohberger casually walks the aisles at Costco and the grocery store—mere hours after the murders.
    The survivor interviews, where Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke describe confusion, fear, and sensory chaos inside the house that night.
    This isn’t about internet drama. It’s about how behavior—on both ends—tells the story.

    We look at how Kohberger re-entered public space like nothing had happened. Robin explains what the FBI looks for in footage like this: timing, movement, risk exposure, behavioral regulation.

    Then we shift to the interviews—two young women surviving something unspeakable. We walk through what they said, why they said it the way they did, and why the people attacking them online are dead wrong.

    This segment is about evidence, not ego. About listening, not twisting. About understanding what trauma sounds like—and what performance looks like.

    Bryan Kohberger is guilty. He’s in prison. But the story doesn’t end at conviction. These details matter. Because they show us the full anatomy of this case—from the killer’s fake calm to the survivors’ real fear.

  • Watch As Double Murder EXPOSED In LIVE News Interview: Shocking TV Confession!

    Watch As Double Murder EXPOSED In LIVE News Interview: Shocking TV Confession!
    Sep 30 2025
    Watch As Double Murder EXPOSED In LIVE News Interview: Shocking TV Confession!

    In one of the most surreal crime stories in recent memory, Lorenz Kraus walked into a CBS6 newsroom and confessed on camera to killing his elderly parents, hiding their bodies in the backyard, and living off their Social Security checks for seven years.

    Now, on Hidden Killers Live, we watch that full CBS6 interview and break it down — line by line, word by word. Was it a genuine confession? A performance? A delusion? Or all of the above?

    Police were originally investigating financial crimes tied to the Kraus family at 6 Crestwood Court in Albany, NY, after a red flag from the Social Security Administration. But when a search warrant was executed, investigators unearthed not bank records — but two corpses in the backyard.

    This segment includes:


    • The moment Kraus confesses to second-degree murder


    • How this case exploded from welfare fraud to Albany double homicide


    • Questions about mental health, delusional beliefs, and a potential god complex


    • What happens when a confession is made to journalists, not police




    This is the full breakdown of a case that’s part true crime, part psychological thriller, and part bureaucratic failure. Watch with us.

  • Why They Prosecuted the Wrong Men — Inside the Yogurt Shop Confession Fiasco

    Why They Prosecuted the Wrong Men — Inside the Yogurt Shop Confession Fiasco
    Sep 30 2025
    Why They Prosecuted the Wrong Men — Inside the Yogurt Shop Confession Fiasco

    In this segment, we tear open the wounds of the original investigation. Two men—Robert Springsteen and Michael Scott—were convicted decades ago based almost entirely on confessions that they later recanted. DNA would later exclude them entirely.
    What pushed investigators to pursue confessions so hard? Tunnel vision, coercive interview tactics, and information “leaks” that allowed suspects to parrot back nonpublic details. Over 50 people confessed at one point or another to this crime—many obviously false.We dig into how interview design (false‑evidence ploys, minimization, sleep deprivation) creates a dangerous illusion of certainty. Legally, these strategies drive miscarriages of justice. Psychologically, they turn confessions into weapons rather than tools of truth.
    In this part you’ll learn:


    • Why confessions, especially in homicide, are dangerously persuasive


    • How contamination and leading questions distort memory


    • What happens when investigators stop listening for disconfirmation



    After you hear the mistakes, you’ll see how fragile the case was from the start—and why we can’t treat confession = guilt as an assumption ever again.

  • D4VD Discord, Streams, and Screenshots: What the Internet Missed in the Celeste Rivas Case

    D4VD Discord, Streams, and Screenshots: What the Internet Missed in the Celeste Rivas Case
    Sep 30 2025
    D4VD Discord, Streams, and Screenshots: What the Internet Missed in the Celeste Rivas Case

    There are screenshots. Twitch clips. Discord chats. Eyewitness reports. Celeste Rivas was visible. She was online. She was interacting with people. She was seen. And still—somehow—no one stopped this.

    In this segment, FBI profiler Robin Dreeke joins me to examine the digital behavior, online grooming signs, and community silence surrounding this case. From reported messages about pregnancy, to shared social content, to alleged sightings by classmates—there were signs. Multiple. Public. Documented. And ignored.

    We get into:
    – Why offenders sometimes flaunt inappropriate behavior online
    – The psychology behind public performance and private control
    – What it says when friends, fans, or even platforms fail to intervene
    – And how law enforcement uses this digital trail to apply pressure behind the scenes

    Celeste’s body was found in a towed, impounded Tesla. Electronic devices were reportedly seized from a Hollywood Hills home. Still: no one has been charged. No cause of death released.

    But the data is out there. The patterns are there. And the silence around them should disturb everyone watching this unfold.
    If this case feels frustrating, it’s because it should.

  • How DNA Finally Cracked the Yogurt Shop Murders After 34 Years

    How DNA Finally Cracked the Yogurt Shop Murders After 34 Years
    Sep 30 2025
    How DNA Finally Cracked the Yogurt Shop Murders After 34 Years

    This is the turning point. After 34 years of dead ends, the infamous Yogurt Shop murders in Austin have finally been cracked—not by a tip, not by a confession, but by modern genetic genealogy and DNA testing. In this first segment, I walk you through how investigators resurrected crime scene evidence, plugged it into public DNA databases, built family trees, and landed on Robert Eugene Brashers as the killer.

    It wasn’t easy. The crime scene was ravaged by fire. Early DNA testing had limits. The wrong suspects had been tried. But in 2025, cold‑case teams used new techniques to extract male DNA profiles, cross‑referenced distant relatives, and zeroed in on Brashers. A former detective has even claimed a bullet casing found in a drain matched the firearm Brashers used in his suicide. (That’s not official yet — but it’s a powerful piece of the puzzle.)
    Why this matters: naming the suspect doesn’t end the story. It shifts the burden to accountability, record integrity, and transparency. This first part shows how science finally caught up to a case that law enforcement once believed might never be solved. If you thought cold cases were frozen in time—this rewrites that myth.

    Tune in to see exactly how the match was made—how one small genetic lead led to the unthinkable: identifying a killer who died 26 years ago. After you see the method, you’ll understand the stakes of what comes next.
