Tupac Shakur was murdered on September 7, 1996. Almost thirty years later, his family is still fighting for accountability — and the legal weapon they just deployed could be the most powerful move anyone has made in this case. Mopreme Shakur filed a wrongful death lawsuit naming Keffe D and one hundred unnamed co-conspirators, built not just to recover damages but to use civil discovery to force answers out of people who have spent decades avoiding them.

Keffe D's criminal trial is set for August 10, 2026. He has pled not guilty. But the civil case runs simultaneously with different rules — a lower burden of proof, broader discovery powers, and the ability to compel testimony from witnesses the criminal prosecution may never call.

Eric Faddis — criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor who has navigated cases where criminal and civil proceedings run parallel — joins Hidden Killers Live to break down how the two cases interact, the legal exposure created for anyone named or identifiable through discovery, and the extraordinary credibility problem created by Keffe D's shifting narrative over thirty years. Faddis also addresses the emotional weight of a family that has buried Afeni, buried Mutulu, and lost the alleged triggerman — and is still standing in front of a judge demanding the system do its job.

Nick Reiner faces two counts of first-degree murder with death penalty eligibility for the stabbing deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, inside their Brentwood home. He has pled not guilty. His public defender, Kimberly Greene, has not entered an insanity plea — but has not foreclosed one either. Nick's documented mental health history includes a schizoaffective disorder diagnosis, a court-ordered conservatorship that ran from 2020 to 2021, years of addiction struggles, and reports that he was erratic at a Christmas party the night before his parents were found dead.

His former attorney practically telegraphed a mental health defense before withdrawing from the case. Greene entered a single not guilty plea and has held that position without elaboration.

This week, the preliminary hearing was pushed to September 15 after both sides agreed autopsy reports remain outstanding and additional discovery is expected. Nick appeared in court in a yellow jail smock and responded to the judge with a single word after consulting with Greene.

Eric Faddis — criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor — joins Hidden Killers Live to analyze what Greene's silence on the insanity question signals, whether Nick's courtroom behavior could become the basis for a competency challenge, what the autopsy delay means for the prosecution's timeline, and what the Reiner family is enduring as the system processes the most devastating loss imaginable at its own glacial speed.

Four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in their beds. The man who admitted to doing it is behind bars for life. And the case was supposed to be finished. But a forensic expert hired by Kohberger's own defense is now contradicting the narrative — alleging that the knife sheath carrying Kohberger's DNA had chain of custody problems serious enough to challenge at trial.

That expert, Brent Turvey, says the defense team never acted on his findings. Meanwhile, a former FBI agent's new book is surfacing untested crime scene evidence and competing theories about whether one person could have committed the attack alone.

Eric Faddis — criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor who has stood on both sides of murder cases built on physical evidence — joins Hidden Killers Live to analyze the chain of custody allegations, explain what the defense's behavior signals about their own confidence in the plea, and confront the hardest question: when a defendant waives all appeal rights and the evidence was never cross-examined, is a guilty plea the same thing as justice? Faddis brings a rare dual perspective — he has been the prosecutor putting evidence in front of a jury and the defense attorney attacking it — and he does not hold back on what this situation means for the families still waiting for answers.

The Peacock documentary did something that nothing else in this case has been able to do — it showed us the human wreckage inside Rex Heuermann's own home.

Not the crime scenes. Not the evidence. The people. Asa Ellerup, the ex-wife who heard her husband confess to eight murders and still believes he loved her. Victoria Heuermann, the daughter who asked her father if he ever thought about her while killing women in their basement and was told no. And Rex himself — the man who described a meticulous four-day kill cycle, who timed body dumps with a stopwatch, who told a therapist he can't connect the person in the crime scene photos to himself, and who John Douglas says is almost certainly hiding more victims. Each of these three people is processing the same truth from a completely different psychological position. Asa can't let go. Victoria is trying to forgive. And Rex is still performing — still curating, still controlling how the world receives his story.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me for a three-part interview series that goes inside each of these minds. Part one covers Asa — the trauma history, the constructed reality, the impossible attachment. Part two covers Victoria — the identity destruction, the rewritten memories, the cost of forgiveness. Part three covers Rex — the adolescent origins, the ritualized killing, and whether his cooperation with the FBI is insight or narcissism. This series is the most thorough psychological examination of the Heuermann family in true crime. Period.

Rex Heuermann sits in his cell at Suffolk County Correctional Facility and looks at crime scene photos of the eight women he killed. He studies the dump sites. He looks at what was done to the bodies. And then he says something that should make every person following this case sit up straight — he says he can't connect the person who did those things to himself. He tries. He looks at the photos and tries to bridge the gap between the man who dismembered women in his basement and the man sitting in the cell. And he says he can't do it. The two worlds don't merge. That claim — coming from a man who timed his body dumps with a stopwatch, who built a four-day ritual around each killing, who got his disposal time down from two minutes to thirty-seven seconds — raises a question that sits at the center of this entire case. Is he telling the truth? Is Rex Heuermann genuinely unable to connect his two selves?

Or is this one more performance from a man who John Douglas called a malignant narcissistic sadistic psychopath — a man whose narcissism is so total that even in confession, he's still curating how the world sees him? The documentary also revealed that Rex agreed to cooperate with the FBI's behavioral analysis unit as part of his plea deal.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me to examine what the documentary exposed about Rex Heuermann's mind — whether his claimed dissociation is real, what the ritualized killing pattern reveals about his psychology, and whether cooperation with the FBI is a sign of genuine self-examination or another form of narcissistic control from behind bars.

He's a loving dad and a serial killer.

Victoria Heuermann said those words after sitting across from her father in a jailhouse room and hearing him confess to murdering eight women — including at least seven inside the home where she grew up. She didn't say it with sarcasm. She didn't say it with rage. She said it like someone trying to hold two truths that shouldn't be able to exist inside the same person — because for Victoria, they have to. The Rex she knew coached her through life. Took care of the family. Was the person she called when she needed something. That Rex was real to her. The Rex who strangled women and dismembered them in the basement while she played video games ten feet away — that Rex is also real. And she has to live with both of them for the rest of her life. The Peacock documentary didn't just show Victoria accepting her father's guilt. It showed the psychological cost of that acceptance. Depression. Anger. A self-worth that's been destroyed. And a question that keeps surfacing — if my father is a monster, what does that make me?

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me to analyze Victoria Heuermann's psychological landscape — whether holding both versions of her father is genuine coping or a mirror of his own compartmentalization, what the immediate forgiveness tells us about where she actually is in the grief process, and how a person begins to rebuild an identity when the person who shaped it turns out to be a serial killer. Victoria said nobody thinks about the daughter. This conversation proves her wrong.

The family therapist who spent over two years working with Asa Ellerup said something in the Peacock documentary that should change the way every person following this case thinks about Rex Heuermann's ex-wife. She said for Asa, it wasn't denial — it was real. That distinction matters more than anything else that's been said about this woman.

Denial implies choice. It implies that somewhere inside, the person knows the truth and is choosing not to face it. But what the therapist described is something different and far more unsettling — a woman whose reality was entirely constructed by her husband. Whatever Rex said became fact. His voice overrode evidence, overrode investigators, overrode DNA. And it wasn't because Asa was weak or foolish. It was because her entire life before Rex had been a series of traumas that left her with no internal foundation to stand on.

Adopted, never bonded. Assaulted as a teenager. Suicidal before adulthood. Rex didn't just marry her — he became the architecture of her reality. When the walls came down, she had nothing left to stand on. Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins me to go deep on the psychology of Asa Ellerup — what the documentary revealed about the difference between denial and coercive reality construction, why

Asa moved into the kill room, and whether there's any psychological path forward for a woman whose entire sense of self was built around a man who murdered eight women in their home. This conversation is going to challenge every assumption you have about what it means to live with a killer and not know it.

Bob Motta has been sitting on this story for three years. He's telling it here first — and it's one of the wildest firsthand accounts in true crime. The criminal defense attorney drove to Green Hollow in the middle of the night, infiltrated an FBI dig in a rental car that looked like a cop cruiser, went viral on TikTok while local deputies watched his content in real time, and spent sixteen months investigating the allegations that Don Studey was the Green Hollow Killer.

He spent over a hundred hours on the phone with Lucy Studey-McKiddy vetting her claims. He got waved past a federal checkpoint. He scaled a dirt wall to reach the fence line. He heard the feds working in the area Lucy described. A deputy told him Gacy's first victim was from Green Hollow and related to the Studeys — something Lucy never mentioned despite Bob talking about Gacy constantly. In the nearby towns, everyone had a story.

The mayor invited him to dinner. Locals shared firsthand accounts of Don Studey — the boogeyman their parents had warned them about. Bob uncovered alleged mob connections and an unsolved robbery. Lucy's sister Susan spent the investigation drunk-texting that it was all a lie. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Drake analyzes the behavioral evidence. The feds closed the case after three days. Lucy says wrong well. Bob says the story is far from over.

Tony Brueski, Robin Drake, and Bob Motta — the full conversation, uncut, first time anywhere.
