It’s been nearly 15 years since Yvonne Baldelli's disappearance first made headlines, tragically followed by her dismembered body being discovered in a Panamanian jungle, with the prime suspect being her Marine veteran boyfriend, Brian Brimager. Just 2 months before Yvonne disappeared, the couple had moved to a small Panamanian Island, in what was supposed to be a fresh start for their relationship. Prosecutors claimed Yvonne was murdered after she discovered Brian secretly making plans to return to California, to help raise his daughter with his ex-girlfriend, Kristin, a daughter Yvonne never knew existed. The alleged motive was that Brian murdered Yvonne to silence her, because his ex-girlfriend Kristin had no idea Yvonne even existed, and thought Brian was in Panama with his Marine friends. Approximately 2 weeks after Yvonne’s murder, Brian returned to California, moved in with Kristin, proposed, and married her later that month without Kristin knowing about Yvonne or her murder. Dr. Phil speaks with Kristin about the first time she learned about Yvonne, her disappearance, her husband's possible involvement, and why she chose to believe his innocence despite a trail of deceit and lies.

For years, military pilots have tracked objects that outfly anything we've built, and the government finally concedes they're real ... without saying what they are. Dr. Phil talks to Rep. Eric Burlison, who says he was pulled into a classified briefing describing a successful operation to lure these craft to a desert test range, and Jordan Flowers of the Disclosure Foundation, who says the declassified documents back it up. Two men chasing the same answer from opposite directions ... and one host asking the question underneath it all: can we trust what our government tells us?Envoy TV: https://www.envoytv.com/This episode is brought is brought to you by Preserve Gold, call 844-718-2642 or text PHIL to 50505 for your free wealth protection guide.HighLevel: If you own a small business, don’t skip this.

Christa Pike survived her own execution. Now Tennessee faces serious questions about what went wrong and whether the state can legally try again. Dr. Phil examines the botched execution, the possible medical failures, the constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment, and Governor Bill Lee’s decision to suspend Tennessee executions pending an independent investigation. Pike was convicted of the brutal 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer. Her guilt is not in dispute. But Dr. Phil asks a fundamental question: Does the government have the right to carry out a death sentence if it cannot guarantee the execution will be conducted constitutionally? And at the center of this tragedy is Colleen’s mother, May Martinez, who waited more than three decades for justice only to witness an execution that raised more questions than answers.#ChristaPike #DrPhil #DeathPenalty #TrueCrime #ColleenSlemmerEnvoy TV: https://www.envoytv.com/This episode is brought is brought to you by Preserve Gold, call 844-718-2642 or text ASK PHIL to 50505 for your free wealth protection guide.Chapter compares every Medicare plan nationwide for free to recommend coverage based on your doctors, prescriptions, and budget.

Every major social media platform has made the same calculated bet: your child's safety is worth less than their bottom line. And not one of them moved until the lawsuits started hitting the stock price. Dr. Phil speaks with a special education teacher whose entire career was built on protecting children ... and who still couldn't protect her own daughter from a predator who found her through a popular gaming platform. Her attorney, one of the country's leading sexual abuse litigators, breaks down exactly how these platforms were designed to fail your kids. And a child safety advocate who has taken on Meta, Google, and Epic Games explains why this isn't one bad actor ... it's how the entire industry operates. If your child has a phone, a tablet, or access to any screen ...this episode is about your child. Tonight’s guests reveal the warning signs every parent needs to know, what to do if something has already happened, and why the only language these platforms have ever responded to is money. The courtrooms are catching up. But are they moving fast enough? https://www.envoytv.com/This episode is brought is brought to you by Preserve Gold, call 844-718-2642 or text ASK PHIL to 50505 for your free wealth protection guide.DeleteMe makes it quick, easy and safe to remove your personal data online: Join Now: https://JoinDeleteMe.Com/PHILSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Two mothers who lost their children to filicide... and refused to let it be the end of the story. According to the FBI, approximately 500 children are killed by a parent every single year in the US. Nearly 10 a week. And most of the time, there were warning signs that courts and law enforcement ignored ... until it was too late. Hope Hooton warned family court repeatedly that her estranged husband was dangerous. The court still gave him unsupervised custody. In May 2024, he shot and killed their two children, 7-year-old Alec and 6-year-old Lydia,  and turned the gun on himself. Hope responded by going to the Arizona State Capitol, and her bill, the Alec and Lydia Act, passed the House unanimously. Brandi Morey-Pols called law enforcement when her 6-year-old son Rowan didn't come home from a custody visit. She was told it was a civil matter. No Amber Alert. Three days later, Rowan and his father were found dead in a camper. She founded The Rowan Project and fought for the Rowan Act, expanding Amber Alert criteria in custody cases.  Two women. Three dead children. One broken system,  and the mothers who decided to fix it. May also bring in Judge Rosemarie Aquilina, who sees this pattern in her courtroom.CarShield is how you move from chaos to control.
