Three-year-old dies during 12-hour exorcism - Rest in Peace Arley Naomi

Arley Naomi Proctor-Hernandez was taken to a church on September 24, 2021. Her grandfather was pastor at the small California church, and family members met to assist in an exorcism. Her mom believed she was possessed. The probable cause is difficult to read, and the determined cause of death is asphyxiation.  The week before Arley's mother, Claudia Hernandez-Santos, was arrested, Claudia started a YouTube channel and spoke to her viewers. It's chilling to listen.  The trio of family members stand before a judge this week in San Jose California, and according to reporters in the court room, Claudia swiveled in a chair and occasionally yawned while listening to Police testimony.  This episode was recorded just after the arrests were made in January 2022, and was only available on Patreon until today.   It was recorded after the pandemic had ended, but remnants still lingered. Domestic violence had increased, and fear gripped many. This episode tackles many of those issues in 2020/2021. We believe this episode is important to revisit and have decided to make it public. We have 60 bonus episodes just like this one on our Patreon account at Patreon.com/hiddentrueCrime https://www.patreon.com/collection/117352?view=expanded.

MATTHEW COLEMAN- Jailhouse letters from the father who confessed to killing his children

Returning home to California from Mexico - Matthew Coleman is taken into custody and confesses to killing his two young children with a spearfishing gun. According to the probable cause, Coleman had been following conspiracy theories online and believed his wife had passed her serpent DNA onto their children, which would mean his son and daugther would grow up to become monsters, and Coleman had to kill them in order to save the world. This episode was originally recorded in the summer of 2022 - a year after Matthew Coleman confessed to killing his children.

Did Lori Vallow Daybell suffer from Munchausen by Proxy?

This episode revisits parts of our podcast episode Beyond the veil: The Secrets of Loi Vallow Daybell, Part 2 published in July of 2023. As we've been discussing the case of gypsy Rose, and recently interviewed Kate -a survivor of factitious disorder imposed by another, previously known as Munchausen by Proxy , we felt it was important to reexamine a question many continue to ask us: Did Lori Vallow Daybell suffer from Munchausen by Proxy, and was her daughter Tylee Ryan her victim years before Tylee was murdered?  Dr John takes us through the evidence and research exploring this possibility. A forensic psychologist and journalist (who are husband and wife) explore the inner workings of Lori Vallow Daybell's mind, and the hidden motivations driving a series of inexplicable murders. DR.
