Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

Jensen Huang kept his affair quiet until he confessed it in a memo to Nvidia employees, and reports say the woman was Alice Huang, whom U.S. intelligence reportedly concluded was a Chinese intelligence asset. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke and I go beyond what's been established in the Nvidia case to ask how much power a secret like that hands someone.
Robin is the former chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. Security experts say spy schemes that use romance can end in coercion or blackmail. Nvidia's board says it has no reason to believe secrets or national security were compromised, and China denies the spying claims.
I ask Robin what changes once a shared secret becomes a threat, what the fear of losing your family can make you agree to, and what keeps the demands from growing after the first time someone gives in. We also talk about whether the person doing the recruiting can be under the same kind of pressure.
I end by asking whether Huang going public would strip the power from anyone who might have been holding his secret.

Jensen Huang first described his interactions with Alice Huang as normal business, then admitted to Nvidia employees that he had been unfaithful to his wife. I ask retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke where normal business ends and spying starts, and how anyone would know which one this was.
Reports say U.S. intelligence concluded Alice Huang, a former top executive at chip buyer Megaspeed, was a Chinese intelligence asset. China calls that groundless. President Trump has said Huang denied knowing she was a spy, and that he believes him.
Robin, the former chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, explains what an interviewer would ask Huang to find out what he actually knew, and whether a casual chat with a CEO can still give a foreign government something it wants. I ask whether the FBI would ever have someone who may have been used keep talking to the suspected spy, and how agents decide if that person can handle it. We finish on how investigators get employees to speak up when the board has said it has confidence in Huang.
Three House committee chairs have asked for a closed-door briefing.

Jensen Huang built Nvidia into the company behind the chips that run much of the AI boom, and he has admitted to his employees that he was unfaithful to his wife. Reports say the woman was Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive U.S. intelligence reportedly flagged as a Chinese intelligence asset, and I ask retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke how a man this brilliant became such a bad judge of her.
Robin is the former chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. At a dinner Huang hosted in Taipei, Alice Huang reportedly kissed his cheek and the two left in the same car. Megaspeed, based in Singapore, bought billions of dollars in Nvidia chips.
Robin and I get into what someone new can offer a man who already has money, power and constant praise, and whether a spy can actually fall for the person she was sent to use. We also talk about how a friend can get through to someone who takes every concern as an attack on his relationship.
Nvidia's board says it sees no reason to believe secrets or national security were compromised, and China denies the spying claims.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me on Hidden Killers for the full conversation after a federal jury convicted former Stoughton detective Matthew Farwell of killing Sandra Birchmore and her unborn child. We start with how he lives with it.
Farwell walked into Sandra's building in a hood and mask and walked out at 9:43. About 13 hours later, according to the FBI, his own son was born. Shavaun talks about what a man tells himself after that, and whether a husband and father can love his family and still do this.
Sandra called him Officer Farwell in high school. Prosecutors said what happened between them started when she was fifteen. She later wanted his name on her baby's birth certificate, and Shavaun explains why she kept holding on.
His twin brother, also a Stoughton cop, testified he didn't believe Sandra when she told him her age, and a dispatcher testified he was told to forget a call about her and Farwell.
The defense argued suicide and walked jurors through Sandra's private pain. Farwell faces mandatory life at sentencing in February.

Prosecutors say Tyler Robinson told his own parents why he shot Charlie Kirk, and the Tyler Robinson trial still won't begin until June 2028. I go through every place he allegedly admitted it, and why a not guilty plea still means a full death penalty trial.
According to charging documents, his father thought the rifle in the news matched one he'd given his son. When his parents asked why he'd done it, Robinson allegedly said Kirk spread too much hate. A retired deputy sheriff who was a family friend talked him into turning himself in. Investigators say he posted in a Discord chat that it was him at Utah Valley University, but he never confessed to police.
Robinson pleaded not guilty, and a guilty plea in a death penalty case usually comes with a deal that takes execution off the table. No deal has been reported. His lawyers have never gotten to cross-examine his roommate and partner, Lance Twiggs, because Judge Tony Graf ruled Utah lets prosecutors use reliable secondhand statements at a preliminary hearing.
Robinson is due back in court January 14th, 2027.
