Summary
This one turns on a detail almost everyone missed: a National Drug Code visible in a released photo packet. Stacy traced it to levothyroxine, a standard medication for hypothyroidism. We’re not doing medical cosplay here—and we’re not blaming a pill. We’re asking a practical question: if a thyroid is under-functioning (or treatment is poorly tuned), how might that interact with an already heavy stack of diagnoses—Autism Level 1, OCD, ADHD, ARFID?
When thyroid chemistry drifts off target, people can experience agitation, sleep disruption, mood volatility, and obsessive spirals. None of that explains or excuses violence. But it can amplify tendencies—especially if support and management are thin. In a world where a GP can label you and wave goodbye, you end up with a body that won’t cooperate, a brain that’s grinding its gears, and a life where fixations masquerade as structure.
We connect that medical clue to what we saw in the photos: the sparsity, the random pockets of mess, the closet detritus that clashes with the “he’s rigid about everything” narrative. Maybe he was rigid about some things and chaotic about others. That’s not unusual. It’s human. Add in ARFID-style food rules and a vegetarian fixation, and you get a portrait of narrow control lanes surrounded by disorder—and a person who may have mistaken copyable rituals for identity.
Important: Levothyroxine is a common, life-improving medication when properly dosed. The point here is context. If the physiology is off and the psychology is overloaded, you get turbulence. That turbulence doesn’t create monsters—but it can fuel patterns we later recognize in hindsight.
If this kind of granular breakdown helps you think more clearly about the case—and about how medical and behavioral factors collide—subscribe, comment your take, and share this segment with someone who cares about the details.

| 0:00.0 | This is Hidden Killers Live with Tony Bruske, Stacey Cole, and Todd Michaels. |
| 0:08.7 | What are the other ones you wanted to hit? |
| 0:10.8 | Very much so. |
| 0:12.7 | Picture 492. |
| 0:15.9 | And there were 500-some photos to go through here. |
| 0:19.7 | So what 592 is, is just a very basic piece of paper. So |
| 0:24.5 | if you can zoom in on the white part of this, this is basically drug instructions, something |
| 0:32.1 | about your medication. I did a deep dive into a different picture where I found the National |
| 0:36.2 | Drug Code for something. |
| 0:38.3 | They had blocked out what the medication was. |
| 0:40.1 | Well, I knew how to look this up because I've worked in the veterinary industry for eight years. |
| 0:44.6 | And he's on levothoroxine. |
| 0:47.0 | What is that? |
| 0:47.9 | That is a treatment for hypothyroidism. |
| 0:50.8 | So if your thyroid's not working correctly, this will help. Now, |
| 0:55.5 | thyroid can affect a lot of things. Correct. And that's exactly where I'm headed. And I speak to you |
| 1:00.6 | as somebody who was awake this morning at three o'clock, central time, with a cat who was out in the |
| 1:06.1 | living room yowling. He's a senior cat. He's 14 years old. It's very possible we are moving into, |
| 1:14.1 | for cats, it's hyperthyroidism versus hypo. So there's two different versions. What happens is |
| 1:20.8 | the brain starts to change. Their behavior starts to change. They become agitated. They, |
| 1:27.1 | you see changes in their mental stability. |
| 1:30.8 | So that's a warning sign in cats. If they're yowling in the middle of the night, they're |
