| 0:00.0 | This is Hidden Killers Week in review. |
| 0:02.3 | I look back at the most prolific stories of the week. |
| 0:05.1 | This is Hidden Killers with Tony Bruske. |
| 0:08.1 | Here now, Tony Bruske. |
| 0:10.6 | What happens when the one person who knows the truth decides not to say a damn thing? |
| 0:18.0 | That's where we are now in the Brian Koeger case. The plea deal is done. The cameras are |
