| 0:00.0 | One man's trash is another man's evidence. This is Hidden Killers with Tony Bruske. |
| 0:07.0 | It started with a whisper. Rumors too ugly to ignore, too detailed to brush off. Today those whispers became a deafening roar. |
| 0:16.0 | I'm Tony Bruske, and today we're diving into the explosive cases of two men who for years were worshipped as kings |
| 0:22.7 | of their industries. But behind the fame and fortune lies a dark truth, one that's just beginning |
| 0:28.1 | to come to light. On one hand, we have Sean Diddy Combs, the music mogul, whose career has been |
| 0:34.3 | drenched in fame, power, and influence. |

| 1:45.9 | The two men were formally indicted for sex trafficking young men, |
| 1:52.6 | operating what the authorities describe as a predatory scheme that spanned more than two decades. |
| 1:58.2 | According to prosecutors, Jeffries wasn't just the mastermind behind Abercrombie's success. He was also using his power, wealth, and influence to |
| 2:02.0 | traffic young men for his and Smith's personal pleasure. The indictment specifically names |
| 2:08.4 | 15 John Does, but the feds aren't mincing words. They say that number is likely just scratching |
