  • The Mind of Charlie Kirk’s Alleged Killer—What Went So Wrong? -WEEK IN REVIEW

    The Mind of Charlie Kirk’s Alleged Killer—What Went So Wrong? -WEEK IN REVIEW
    2025/10/11
    This wasn’t an outburst. It was, according to prosecutors, a deliberate, public execution. A bolt-action rifle. A rooftop. A single shot aimed at a political figure speaking to a crowd of thousands. Prosecutors say Tyler James Robinson left a note, sent texts, and planned every detail.

    In this gripping and unsettling episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott unravel the deeper psychology of targeted violence—and how some killers don’t just act, they perform.

    From the alleged planning to the engraving on the bullets, the post-crime concealment, and the so-called “energy burst” of activity right after the shot—this wasn’t just about killing. It was about control. Symbolism. Message.

    In this interview, we explore:

    • How violent actors create their own mythology around the act

    • The psychology of public spectacle and performance-driven violence

    • Why some shooters choose rooftops, long guns, and high-attention moments

    What happens psychologically after the act: the crash, the clean-up, and the final justification

    We also examine how obsession, identity, and a need for significance play into the creation of what some perpetrators see as a necessary act of violence.

    If you’ve ever wondered what turns someone from angry to armed—and what mental framework allows a person to believe they’re righteous in doing so—this is the episode to watch.

  • Charlie Kirk's Shooter Left Clues. Why Didn’t Anyone Stop Him?

    Charlie Kirk's Shooter Left Clues. Why Didn’t Anyone Stop Him?
    2025/10/09
    The warning signs were there. According to prosecutors, Tyler James Robinson—the man charged in the assassination of Charlie Kirk—left behind a note, sent texts before and after the shooting, and planned the act for over a week. Yet no one stopped it.

    In this episode of Hidden Killers, host Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist and forensic behavioral expert Shavaun Scott to dissect the psychology behind leakage, missed signals, and why families, friends, and institutions continue to fail at catching killers before they act.

    We’re asking the hard questions:

    • Why do people hesitate to report concerning behavior—even when their gut says something’s wrong?

    • What language patterns and behavior shifts should raise red flags in friends, classmates, or coworkers?

    • What role does the internet play in radicalizing already isolated individuals?

    What can schools, campuses, and event organizers realistically do to stop this?

    This isn’t about panic. It’s about prevention. Because according to the Secret Service, most mass shooters display obvious warning signs in the days, weeks, and months before they act.

    This episode pulls back the curtain on the psychology of targeted violence—and why so many communities only connect the dots when it’s already too late.

  • The Psychology Behind the Alleged Charlie Kirk Assassin

    The Psychology Behind the Alleged Charlie Kirk Assassin
    2025/10/09
    This wasn’t a moment of rage. According to prosecutors, it was a calculated, deliberate act: a long gun, a rooftop, and a public figure in the crosshairs.

    In this powerful and deeply psychological episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist and forensic behavioral expert Shavaun Scott to examine the disturbing case of Tyler James Robinson, the man charged with murdering Charlie Kirk in front of a crowd at Utah Valley University.

    Authorities allege Robinson left behind a handwritten note, confessed to the act in a text message, and planned the shooting for over a week. Prosecutors are calling it ideologically motivated, and they’re seeking the death penalty.

    But this isn’t just about what allegedly happened. It’s about how people get there.
    What makes someone move from grievance to violence? From obsession to execution? From believing in a cause to believing that murder is justified?

    Together, Tony and Shavaun break down the psychology of targeted violence, including:


    • The mindset behind planned attacks vs. spontaneous rage


    • What the term “leakage” means—and how it shows up in text messages and online behavior


    • Why offenders often see themselves as heroes, protectors, or martyrs


    • The role of digital radicalization, algorithmic echo chambers, and identity reinforcement


    • The symbolism of engraved weapons, public executions, and post-crime behavior


    • What institutions, families, and friends can realistically do to stop the next shooter

    This interview dives deep into the dark corners of obsession, warning signs, and the narratives people build around violence. It’s not about sensationalism—it’s about understanding the patterns, so we can finally learn how to stop them.

    If you’ve ever asked yourself, “How could no one see this coming?”—this is the conversation you need to hear.

  • Mental Health Misused, Evidence Destroyed, Questions Ignored | Ellen Greenberg Deep Dive

    Mental Health Misused, Evidence Destroyed, Questions Ignored | Ellen Greenberg Deep Dive
    2025/10/05
    Mental Health Misused, Evidence Destroyed, Questions Ignored | Ellen Greenberg Deep Dive

    Ellen Greenberg was found with 20 stab wounds — including 10 in the back of her neck. And yet, her death was ruled a suicide. How? And more importantly — why?

    In this deeply psychological and emotionally charged episode of Hidden Killers Live, host Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to unpack not just the facts of the case, but the emotional truth that’s been obscured for over a decade.

    We start with Ellen’s mental state — not just in the days before her death, but over the months of quiet withdrawal that went ignored or misinterpreted. She stopped wearing her engagement ring. She told her parents she wanted to come home. And yet, no one — not friends, not authorities — ever seemed to ask what she might have been retreating from.

    Then we turn to the psychiatric timeline. Ellen had three sessions with a psychiatrist. No history of suicide attempts. No diagnosed depression. No recorded ideation. And yet that paper-thin narrative — “she was anxious” — became the foundation for an official suicide ruling.

    We also confront what happened after her death — the reversal from homicide to suicide, the cleaned crime scene, the missing chain of custody, and the devices removed by her fiancé’s uncle before detectives could investigate. Her fiancé, Sam Goldberg, never pushed back on the suicide narrative. In fact, he reportedly said, “Do you think I killed her?”

    This case isn’t just forensic failure. It’s emotional sabotage, institutional betrayal, and a test of whether truth still matters when it's inconvenient.

    This episode doesn’t just question the ruling — it questions the people who accepted it.

    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.

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

    “Do You Think I Killed Her?” Sam Goldberg’s Haunting Words About Ellen Greenberg
    2025/10/02
    “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

    From Teacher to Tragedy: Breaking Down Ellen Greenberg’s Mental State | Psych Expert Weighs In
    2025/10/02
    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?
    2025/10/02
    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.
