Episode Details

We're going LIVE with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer for a deep dive into two of the biggest cases in true crime right now. The Brendan Banfield murder trial is underway in Fairfax County — and TMZ just dropped explosive new details about Nick Reiner claiming he's the victim of a conspiracy.

Coffindaffer is breaking down both cases and taking your questions in real time.

On Banfield: The prosecution's digital forensics expert contradicted their catfishing theory and was transferred out of the unit. The lead detective who pushed back was reassigned. The original prosecutor was removed. Now the entire case rests on Juliana Peres Magalhaes — an au pair who changed her story after a year in jail and wrote from her cell that she was "heartbroken" for what she was doing to Brendan. Her freedom depends on his conviction.

On Reiner: Sources say Nick admits killing Rob and Michele Reiner but doesn't understand why he's incarcerated. His schizoaffective medication was changed a month before the murders. The weapon is missing. The autopsy is sealed. He checked into a Santa Monica hotel after the alleged killings. Prosecutor Habib Balian — Menendez and Durst — is leading the case. Legal experts say no trial for at least two years.

Coffindaffer has spent her FBI career evaluating witness credibility and insanity claims. She knows what real mental illness looks like and what manipulation looks like. She knows how to spot a flawed investigation.

Drop your questions in the chat. This is going to be a big one.
