Adelsons’ Dark Holidays, D4VD’s Body in the Trunk, Rex Heuermann’s Trial Tightrope

Adelsons’ Dark Holidays, D4VD’s Body in the Trunk, Rex
Heuermann’s Trial Tightrope
In this episode of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, Stacy
Cole, and Todd Michaels, the conversation swings from
lighthearted Halloween chatter into some of the darkest cases
dominating headlines today.

The show opens with pumpkins, pasta sauce, and a creepy
animatronic doll that leaves Harper screaming — but the mood
shifts quickly as the hosts turn their attention to the Adelson
family. Once known for wealth and influence, the Adelsons now
face prison cells, empty chairs at holiday tables, and children
left in the middle of a murder-for-hire plot. What do the
holidays look like for a family split between freedom and
incarceration? And how does Jeff Lacasse’s painful, raw testimony
continue to shape public perception of Wendi Adelson and the
damage she left behind?

From Florida, the spotlight moves west to Hollywood. Rising star
D4VD’s career collapsed overnight after the decomposed body of
15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was discovered in the trunk
of his Tesla. Tony is joined by defense attorney and former
prosecutor Eric Faddis to unpack the legal nightmare: ownership
vs. possession of the vehicle, the disturbing revelation of
matching tattoos, grooming allegations, missing-person timelines,
and deleted social media trails that may point to destruction of
evidence. Is this the fall of a star — or could someone in his
inner circle be framing him?

Finally, the team shifts to Long Island, where accused serial
killer Rex Heuermann faces a consolidated mega-trial after a
judge ruled that seven murder charges will be tried together.
With groundbreaking DNA technology, victim dignity concerns, and
family fallout all in play, the Gilgo Beach case has become one
of the most complex trials in recent memory. Can Heuermann’s
ex-wife Asa Ellerup or even his daughter be called to testify?
Can jurors truly remain impartial under this level of public
scrutiny? And will new forensic science set precedent for murder
prosecutions across the country?

This episode blends sharp analysis, dark humor, and deep dives
into three of the most haunting cases of our time — the Adelsons,
D4VD, and Rex Heuermann — exposing not only the crimes, but the
rippling human cost.
