Episodes from Hidden Killers Live! Daily True Crime News & Breakdowns
The State of Indiana has a phrase for everything that went wrong at Richard Allen's trial: harmless error. The composite sketch the jury never saw — harmless. The bullet comparison that initially came back without a match — harmless. The prison videos pla
Ninety-four pages. Every defense argument countered. Every contested ruling defended. And one glaring omission that defense attorney Bob Motta identifies as the central weakness in the State's position: the man whose confessions built this case told his prison psychiatrist he shot the girls. They were not shot.This week's review of the most critical stories features Motta's full three-part analysis of the Indiana Attorney General's response to Richard Allen's appeal. The AG filed its brief on March 26, calling Allen's conviction "conclusive and irrefutable" and urging the Court of Appeals to affirm the 130-year sentence. The brief addresses...
Joseph Duggar: FBI Experts Break Down the Psychology of Admission

Rex Heuermann: FBI Behavioral Expert Decodes the Gilgo Plea

Nancy Guthrie: FBI Experts Decode the Investigation's Silence
When an investigation goes quiet, it means one of two things — either they're closing in, or they've stalled.

Gilgo Beach Killer LISK: Rex Heuermann's Plea Broken Down Live with Eric Faddis
The accused Long Island Serial Killer is reportedly expected to plead guilty.

LISK Unanswered: Eric Faddis on the Gilgo Beach Killer Gaps
Rex Heuermann is expected to plead guilty to seven murders. But the Gilgo Beach Killer case has always involved more victims than one defendant can account for — and a plea doesn't resolve the rest.Eric Faddis joins me live to examine what's left on the table. We talk about the remaining LISK victims whose cases have never been charged to Heuermann. We dig into the Bittrolff reversal — prosecutors once publicly attributed Sandra Costilla's murder to a different convicted killer, then charged the accused Long Island Serial Killer instead — and what that dramatic reversal means for the credibility of the...
Gilgo Beach Killer Evidence: Eric Faddis Breaks It Down Live

We walk through what a Frye hearing looks like from the inside — what the Long Island Serial Killer defense needed to prove and why the judge ruled whole genome sequencing admissible. We examine the planning docu...
Gilgo Beach Killer Plea: Eric Faddis Breaks It Down Live
