  • “Do You Think I Killed Her?” Sam Goldberg’s Haunting Words About Ellen Greenberg
    Oct 2 2025
    “Do You Think I Killed Her?” Sam Goldberg’s Haunting Words About Ellen Greenberg

    What happens when the system doesn’t just fail you — it rewrites the story entirely?

    In this emotionally raw and deeply insightful episode of Hidden Killers Live, host Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to discuss the most disturbing layer of the Ellen Greenberg case: the aftermath.

    After Ellen was found with 20 stab wounds — including 10 to the back of her neck — the medical examiner originally ruled her death a homicide. But that ruling was quietly reversed after a meeting with police. No new evidence. No second autopsy. Just a narrative pivot that reshaped everything.

    And because it was ruled a suicide, the apartment wasn’t preserved. It was cleaned. Her devices were removed by her fiancé’s uncle. Chain of custody was destroyed. Crime scene photos were incomplete. And the investigation? Essentially shut down.

    In this segment, we explore the psychological impact of institutional betrayal — not just on Ellen’s family, but on every family forced to accept a story that doesn’t make sense. We also dig into:


    • Why families are often shamed into silence when they challenge suicide rulings


    • What it means when someone close to the victim — like a fiancé — shows no visible grief or curiosity


    • How mental health labels like “anxious” are weaponized to close cases


    • And whether emotional closure is still possible when legal justice never comes

    Ellen Greenberg’s case isn’t just a forensic failure — it’s a psychological one. And if this is what happens when families ask questions, what does that say about how we treat grief, truth, and the dead?

    Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé at the time of her death, has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case. He has consistently maintained that Ellen’s death was a suicide. All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise.

  • From Teacher to Tragedy: Breaking Down Ellen Greenberg’s Mental State | Psych Expert Weighs In
    Oct 2 2025
    From Teacher to Tragedy: Breaking Down Ellen Greenberg’s Mental State | Psych Expert Weighs In

    Was Ellen Greenberg’s death the result of a private mental health spiral — or a sign of something far more sinister?
    In this deeply psychological episode of Hidden Killers Live, we’re joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to explore the emotional and behavioral profile of Ellen Greenberg as portrayed in the new Hulu documentary Death in Apartment 603.

    We begin not with the crime scene — but with the person. Ellen was a 27-year-old first-grade teacher, beloved by her students and deeply connected to her family and friends. She was newly engaged. Planning a wedding. Dreaming of a family. So how did we go from that… to 20 stab wounds and a suicide ruling?

    In this episode, we walk through three major psychological layers of the case:

    🔹 Ellen’s emotional withdrawal — When she started pulling back from friends and stopped wearing her engagement ring, was it anxiety, relationship strain… or something more dangerous?

    🔹 The medical record — Ellen had seen a psychiatrist three times and was prescribed Klonopin and Ambien. But she never disclosed suicidal thoughts. In fact, her doctor noted that she smiled when talking about her fiancé. So how did that turn into the primary justification for a suicide ruling?

    🔹 The body tells a different story — Ellen had 20 stab wounds, including 10 to the back of her neck, and bruises in various stages of healing. We ask: what does that kind of physical trauma suggest psychologically — especially in a case with no note, no history of self-harm, and no pattern of detachment?

    Together with Shavaun, we try to answer one central question: Does this case look anything like suicide — or have we all been forced to believe something that simply doesn’t make psychological sense?

    Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé at the time of her death, has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case. He has consistently maintained that Ellen’s death was a suicide. All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise.

  • This Changes Everything: What the Ellen Greenberg Doc Just Revealed & What's Next?
    Oct 2 2025
    This Changes Everything: What the Ellen Greenberg Doc Just Revealed & What's Next?

    This case was buried under paperwork, silence, and a suicide label. Until now.

    In this revealing episode of Hidden Killers Live, host Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to explore what the Hulu documentary Death in Apartment 603 has exposed — and what the psychological profile of Ellen Greenberg actually tells us.

    Ellen was found with 20 stab wounds, including 10 to the back of her neck, and no history of self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or major depression. The documentary lays bare what had been kept in the shadows for years — and now, Shavaun helps us walk through the emotional truth behind the evidence.

    We dig into what this story reveals about:


    • Ellen’s emotional withdrawal
      : Why she suddenly pulled back from her life — and what she may have been signaling


    • The clinical record: Three sessions with a psychiatrist. No ideation. A future she was planning. So how did “anxiety” get weaponized as the reason she’s gone?


    • The crime scene: Cleaned within 24 hours. Devices taken before police could retrieve them. A homicide ruling reversed without new evidence.
    And then we get to the deeper trauma:
    What happens to a family when the official story doesn’t just feel wrong — it is wrong? What happens when the institutions you’re supposed to trust look you in the eye and say, “Move on”?

    This segment doesn’t just revisit the case — it reveals why the public was misled, how a suicide narrative was institutionalized, and what it actually takes to dismantle that lie after more than a decade of damage.

    Watch this episode and ask yourself — what else have we been told to accept that never made psychological sense in the first place?


    Sam Goldberg, Ellen Greenberg’s fiancé at the time of her death, has never been charged with any crime in connection to this case. He has consistently maintained that Ellen’s death was a suicide. All individuals mentioned in this segment are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise.

  • The Holocaust Ring Wendy Adelson Refused to Return! Dan Markel Divorce Bombshell
    Sep 25 2025
    The Holocaust Ring Wendy Adelson Refused to Return! Dan Markel Divorce Bombshell

    Divorce filings can reveal more than testimony ever could. In this segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, the spotlight turns to Dan Markel’s legal filings against Wendy Adelson — allegations that paint a picture of manipulation, secrecy, and unilateral control.

    From accusations of hidden accounts and blocked communication, to the shocking claim that Wendy refused to return a Holocaust family ring to Dan’s relatives, these filings suggest behavior that went far beyond typical divorce disputes. Tony and Shavaun Scott examine what these allegations reveal about the Adelson family’s mindset and how material objects, like the Holocaust ring, can become symbols of dominance in toxic relationships.

    Listeners are reminded that while these were never adjudicated in court due to Dan’s murder, the filings remain powerful indicators of how bitter and destructive the conflict had become. This segment reveals the financial and emotional battleground that formed the backdrop to one of the most notorious true crime cases in recent history.

  • Were Wendy’s Kids Pawns in the Adelson Murder Plot Of Dan Markel? Expert Weighs In
    Sep 25 2025
    Were Wendy’s Kids Pawns in the Adelson Murder Plot Of Dan Markel? Expert Weighs In
    When psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, the conversation shifts from testimony to analysis — and the insights are chilling. Scott explains how children in families like the Adelsons are often treated not as individuals but as pawns, used to meet the emotional needs of manipulative parents and grandparents.

    The discussion explores Wendy Adelson’s choices through the lens of generational trauma and narcissistic control. Was Wendy repeating the patterns instilled in her by her mother, Donna Adelson? How does such an environment shape children who are caught in the crossfire of divorce, custody disputes, and — ultimately — violence?

    Blending professional expertise with raw personal reflections from Tony and his co-hosts, this segment delivers a powerful mix of true crime and psychology. Listeners are left with a deeper understanding of not just what happened, but why such destructive family dynamics can persist across generations — and the lasting scars they leave behind.

  • Inside Wendy Adelson’s Explosive Fight With Her Boyfriend Jeff Lacasse
    Sep 25 2025
    Inside Wendy Adelson’s Explosive Fight With Her Boyfriend Jeff Lacasse
    Jeff Lacasse’s relationship with Wendy Adelson was anything but stable. In this segment of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, listeners are taken inside a critical fight in Gainesville, where Jeff’s suspicions of infidelity and Wendy’s manipulative promises collided in a heated argument.

    From promises that Jeff would soon be “Daddy” to her children, to sudden cold shoulders and disappearing acts, Wendy’s behavior painted the portrait of a woman living in contradictions. The hosts analyze what this rollercoaster dynamic says about Wendy’s psychological state and the influence of her family. Was she stringing Jeff along to serve a hidden agenda? Was her erratic treatment of him a reflection of deeper turmoil as the Markel case inched toward tragedy?

    This segment underscores how personal relationships can reveal truths that legal filings alone cannot. Through Jeff’s testimony, the audience gains a clearer picture of the chaos and volatility surrounding Wendy Adelson in the final months before Dan Markel’s murder — and how even intimate relationships were twisted into the larger web of manipulation.

  • Big Breakdown: Inside the Aftermath of Charlie Kirks’ Murder
    Sep 25 2025
    Big Breakdown: Inside the Aftermath of Charlie Kirks’ Murder

    The assassination of Charlie Kirks has shaken America in a way few acts of political violence have in recent memory. In this Big Breakdown on Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we go inside the case with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to analyze the evidence, the psychology, and the aftermath.

    According to prosecutors, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson allegedly acted alone, deciding in just over a week to build his weapon, target Kirks, and carry out the murder. Investigators say he left a handwritten note, later destroyed by his partner, Lance Twigs — though a photographed copy remains central to the case. Add to that a chilling set of text messages where Robinson casually confessed — worrying more about his grandfather’s rifle and fingerprints than the fact he had just killed a man — and the picture becomes even darker.

    Coffindaffer breaks down why these texts matter, how the FBI will scrutinize the destroyed note, and why the “sloppiness” of this crime actually reinforces the lone wolf threat the Bureau has warned about for decades. This wasn’t a sophisticated plot with layers of planning — it was impulsive, callous, and terrifyingly easy to pull off.

    Then, Shavaun Scott joins the conversation to discuss why this assassination feels different for so many Americans. Why does the killing of a controversial but mainstream political commentator resonate across the political spectrum? What does it reveal about polarization, rage culture, and the addictive pull of online outrage? And why are conspiracy theories already flooding the conversation before the investigation is even complete?

    From the evidence on the ground to the broader cultural fallout, this episode explores both the criminal case against Robinson and the collective anxiety gripping America in the wake of Charlie Kirks’ murder.
