  • The Sheriff, the Judge & the Courthouse Murder: What Really Happened in Letcher County?

    The Sheriff, the Judge & the Courthouse Murder: What Really Happened in Letcher County?
    Oct 7 2025
    In one of the most shocking criminal cases in recent memory, a sitting sheriff walked into a Kentucky courthouse and executed a judge in his own chambers. But this wasn’t a random act of violence — it was the detonation point of a system that had been rotting from the inside out.

    On this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into the case of Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines, now indicted for the murder of Judge Kevin Mullins inside the Letcher County Courthouse in 2024. Surveillance captured the whole thing. He walked in. He shut the door. He opened fire.

    But this isn’t just about a single shooting. Three days earlier, Stines had been deposed in a federal civil rights case — Adkins v. Fields — alleging rampant sexual coercion, abuse of power, and misconduct inside that same courthouse. One official has already pleaded guilty to rape and sodomy. Others, including Judge Mullins, were named in the lawsuit. Some of the alleged misconduct? Took place inside Mullins’ chambers.

    Now, Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Bureau’s Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, joins us to break down the behavioral spiral that may have led a law enforcement officer to kill a judge — and what it reveals about power, silence, and systemic corruption.

    We’ll examine post-arrest bodycam footage, explore how intimidation keeps victims quiet, and ask the hard question: Was this murder an act of madness — or of reckoning?

    This case isn’t just about Kentucky. It’s about what happens when power protects itself, and justice becomes a commodity. Don’t miss this one.

  • Power, Control, and the Dead: Sheriff, d4vd, and Diddy Cases Fully Unpacked

    Power, Control, and the Dead: Sheriff, d4vd, and Diddy Cases Fully Unpacked
    Oct 7 2025
    Three victims. Three abusers. Three systems that looked the other way—until the bodies made it impossible.

    In this special 2-hour episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we’re diving into three stories that expose what happens when unchecked power collides with silence, manipulation, and violence.

    🔹 PART 1: The Sheriff & The Judge — A Courthouse Murder in Kentucky
     Sheriff Shawn "Mickey" Stines walked into Judge Kevin Mullins' chambers and opened fire. The shooting was caught on surveillance, but the backstory is even darker: civil rights lawsuits, sexual coercion, and a courthouse culture where abuse wasn’t just tolerated — it thrived. With Robin Dreeke, we break down the behavioral collapse that turned a courthouse into a crime scene.

    🔹 PART 2: Celeste Rivas & the Tesla Trunk Death — Artist d4vd at the Center
     A teenage girl is found dead in the front trunk of a Tesla tied to rising music star d4vd. She was never reported missing. No arrest. No statement. Just silence. Former FBI profiler Robin Dreeke joins us to analyze the behavior behind the silence — from grooming dynamics to legal distancing — and what the frunk placement reveals psychologically.

    🔹 PART 3: Diddy’s Sentencing — Cassie Ventura’s Letter & the Collapse of an Image
     Sean “Diddy” Combs is sentenced to 50 months in federal prison. But the real story happened before the gavel dropped — in Cassie Ventura’s brutal victim impact letter, in the defense’s campaign-style video plea, and in the judge’s refusal to flinch. We walk through the court record, the government's takedown, and the exact moment branding failed.

    This isn’t just true crime. This is behavioral analysis, narrative deconstruction, and survivor-centered storytelling — the kind you won’t find in headlines.

    🔔 Subscribe now for more deep dives into the darkest corners of power, justice, and the psychological patterns that connect them all.

  • NEW WITNESS SPEAKS: 'I Was Groped by Judge Mullins — Then He Had Me Charged'

    NEW WITNESS SPEAKS: 'I Was Groped by Judge Mullins — Then He Had Me Charged'
    Oct 6 2025
    NEW WITNESS SPEAKS: 'I Was Groped by Judge Mullins — Then He Had Me Charged'

    🚨 New and disturbing allegations have surfaced in the case of Judge Kevin Mullins — the Kentucky judge shot and killed in his courthouse chambers by Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines.

    One year later, the investigation is no longer just about the murder. It’s about why it happened — and what may have been buried inside that courthouse for years.

    In this episode, we uncover explosive new witness interviews. Women are coming forward on camera and on record, describing what they say was a pattern of sexual coercion, retaliation, and courtroom exploitation tied directly to Judge Mullins — and enabled by a system that silenced them at every turn. One woman says Mullins groped her repeatedly while she worked in his office. When she refused his advances, she says he orchestrated criminal charges against her — and told her to turn herself in.

    Another witness, already part of a federal civil rights lawsuit, claims she had sex with Mullins in his chambers “more times than I can count” — because she believed it was the only way to stay out of jail and keep her children. That same civil suit, Adkins v. Fields, has already resulted in criminal convictions for another courthouse official — and Mullins’ name is central in the complaint.

    All of this came to a head just three days before the shooting, when Sheriff Stines was deposed under oath in the lawsuit. Witnesses say he spiraled in the days after — and then walked into Mullins’ chambers with a gun.

    Today, we lay out everything — the surveillance footage, the timeline, the federal lawsuit, the voices of women now refusing to stay silent — and ask: Was this murder the breaking point of a system already cracked by abuse of power?
