Big Breakdown: Bryan Kohberger Delay Tactics Broken Down By Psychotherapist & Ret FBI Special Agent

Big Breakdown: Bryan Kohberger Delay Tactics Broken Down By Psychotherapist & Ret FBI Special Agent In this gripping episode of the Hidden Killers Podcast, Tony Brueski is joined by retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, and defense attorney/former prosecutor Eric Faddis to break down the most chilling and revealing updates in the Bryan Kohberger case—following Dateline’s explosive new report. We dive deep into the disturbing forensic and behavioral revelations that point directly at Kohberger. Jennifer Coffindaffer unpacks what the alleged carving into Ethan Chapin’s body could say about the killer’s psychological profile, while Shavaun Scott explores themes of narcissistic rage, compulsive voyeurism, and the disturbing porn search history allegedly linked to the suspect. Was this about power, control, or sexual dominance? The experts give their insights. Eric Faddis dissects the strategic timing behind the defense’s latest “Motion to Continue” and explains why claims of jury taint from Dateline’s special are unlikely to hold up in court. He also walks us through how the defense might be posturing now for a future death penalty appeal—more than an actual acquittal strategy. Plus, we break down Kohberger’s bizarre behavior, like his post-crime phone calls to his parents, the infamous thumbs-up shower selfie, and his possible fascination with BTK. Is this just a wannabe killer trying to make a name for himself—or something darker? This panel-based episode offers a no-spin, multi-expert perspective that unpacks the legal strategy, forensic data, psychological cues, and the impact of media on the upcoming trial. If you’re following the Kohberger case, this is a must-watch. Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video? Check out our YouTube Channel.

Bryan Kohberger’s Mind Unpacked: FBI Profiler Robin Dreeke Breaks Down the Behavior

Bryan Kohberger’s Mind Unpacked: FBI Profiler Robin Dreeke Breaks Down the Behavior What’s going on inside the mind of Bryan Kohberger—and what should we really be looking at beyond the headlines? In this exclusive premiere episode, Robin Dreeke—former head of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Program—returns to Hidden Killers to unpack the internal workings of Kohberger’s alleged psychological profile. With a capital trial looming and a Motion to Continue filed, Kohberger’s defense is arguing they need more time to investigate his life history and mental state. But what would a profiler look for in that timeline? We dive deep into possible red flags, behavioral escalation, post-crime behavior, and how Kohberger’s public persona could differ wildly from his internal drives. Dreeke helps separate pop culture profiling from the real science used in criminal justice and explains why understanding a suspect’s behavioral footprint is critical—not just to guilt or innocence, but to understanding risk, future behavior, and sentencing. This is the interview that goes beyond the headlines and into the evidence-based behavioral framework that law enforcement uses every day. Hashtags: Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Is Kohberger’s Team Preparing to Blame the Surviving Roommates?

Is Kohberger’s Team Preparing to Blame the Surviving Roommates? Could Bryan Kohberger’s defense team take the most controversial step yet—hinting at the surviving roommates as alternate suspects? In this powerful episode, retired FBI profiler Robin Dreeke joins us to discuss the ethical and psychological fallout of a defense strategy that, if executed, could traumatize the very individuals who escaped the crime scene alive. We examine whether Kohberger’s legal team is laying the groundwork for third-party suspicion and what it means when surviving victims are reframed as potential suspects in a courtroom narrative. Robin Dreeke walks us through how behavioral evidence is weighed, how prosecutors prepare for this kind of narrative manipulation, and the devastating emotional toll such a move could take—not only on the surviving roommates, but on public confidence in the justice system. If you think you’ve seen defense tactics go low, this conversation asks the question: how far is too far in the pursuit of reasonable doubt?

Will Bryan Kohberger Testify? Five Possible Outcomes of THAT Legal Gamble!

Will Bryan Kohberger Testify? 5 Possible Outcomes of THAT Legal Gamble! In this deep-dive true crime video, we explore one of the most pressing questions surrounding the Bryan Kohberger murder trial: Will he take the stand in his own defense? Kohberger, a PhD student in criminology, isn’t your typical defendant. With a background in criminal justice, the courtroom becomes a high-stakes chessboard where every word he says could either help or destroy his defense. Legal experts, forensic analysts, and former FBI profilers have all weighed in on the dangerous gamble of allowing someone with Kohberger’s academic background to testify. Through a fact-based breakdown, we unpack why defendants—especially those facing capital murder charges—are rarely advised to testify. We compare Kohberger’s situation to other infamous cases, from Ted Bundy’s disastrous self-representation to Curtis Reeves’ rare acquittal after taking the stand. The question isn’t just whether Kohberger can testify, but whether jurors would believe him—and whether his demeanor, confidence, or neurodivergent traits could be misinterpreted as guilt. This isn’t speculation. This is about perception, strategy, and precedent. We explain the legal consequences of testimony, how cross-examination can destroy a defense, and why even the smartest defendants often fail to connect with jurors. If you're following the Idaho student murders, this is essential context on the psychological and legal warfare happening behind the scenes. Don't miss this breakdown of what could be the most decisive move in the Bryan Kohberger case. Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video? Check out our YouTube Channel.

The Big Breakdown: Bryan Kohberger’s Mind, Mistakes & The Evidence Closing In

The Big Breakdown: Bryan Kohberger’s Mind, Mistakes & The Evidence Closing In In this full-case breakdown of Bryan Kohberger and the Idaho student murders, we’re connecting all the key pieces—courtroom rulings, digital evidence, forensic analysis, and behavioral insights—to paint the clearest picture yet of what’s really unfolding behind the headlines. You’ll hear everything that matters from the latest court rulings: The judge denying the defense’s attempt to remove the death penalty due to Kohberger’s autism diagnosis Admissibility of text messages from a surviving roommate during the actual time of the murders A heavily scrutinized 911 call that will now be allowed in court with redactions We also take you into the technical forensics that could seal Kohberger’s fate—cell tower mapping by FBI CAST, strange gaps in digital activity flagged by Cellebrite analysts, and how a single trace of touch DNA could override an otherwise meticulous plan. Then it gets psychological: Why would someone so “intelligent” fail to plan for failure? Former FBI agent Robin Dreeke offers insight into Kohberger’s stubborn refusal to provide an alibi, his possible behavioral mimicry of infamous killers like BTK, and how his own mother may be reinforcing his self-destructive belief system. And then there’s the digital echo of “Papa Rogers”—a Reddit persona eerily aligned with Kohberger’s profile and knowledge. Was this his way of taunting the investigation? With analysis from retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, we cover what may have looked calculated on the surface—but now appears to be collapsing under the weight of ego, outdated planning, and damning forensic science. This isn’t just a true crime case. It’s a study in how arrogance, obsession, and digital forensics collide. Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video? Check out our YouTube Channel.

How Incel Ideology, DNA, Amazon & GPS Will Take Him Down

How Incel Ideology, DNA, Amazon & GPS Will Take Him Down The Bryan Kohberger case is one of the most disturbing and complex trials in recent true crime history—and it just keeps unraveling. As the man accused of brutally murdering four University of Idaho students faces the death penalty, the defense seems to be trying every legal maneuver in the book to derail the case. From challenging the admissibility of DNA found on the knife sheath to arguing mental health concerns based on autism spectrum disorder, Kohberger’s legal team is in full damage control mode. In this powerhouse episode, we’re joined by former FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit Chief Robin Dreeke and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, host of “Defense Diaries.” Together, they break down the tangled web of legal tactics, psychological red flags, and forensic goldmines that could make—or break—the prosecution’s case. What do Kohberger’s recently unlocked mental health records actually tell us? Is there a hidden pattern of obsession and escalation? Could his rumored ties to incel ideology be more than online chatter—and possibly part of a deeper motive? We also dig into the bizarre story of Kohberger being caught dumping baggies in a neighbor’s trash. Was it just trash—or an attempt to destroy evidence? With expert legal and psychological analysis, we explore whether this is a calculated killer hiding in plain sight or an unraveling loner making crucial mistakes. And when it comes to putting Kohberger on the stand, could that be the defense team’s last, desperate gamble? This is the breakdown you can’t miss—featuring expert insights that pull no punches.

Six Clues That Suggest Kohberger Wanted to Be Caught

Six Clues That Suggest Kohberger Wanted to Be Caught Did Bryan Kohberger leave us a digital roadmap to his own alleged crimes? In this chilling deep dive, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott peel back the disturbing psychological layers of University of Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger. This episode isn’t just about what allegedly happened — it’s about why. And how the digital age may have exposed a killer not just through DNA, but through ego. We begin with Kohberger’s eerie 2020 criminology essay — an academic exercise that, in hindsight, reads more like a psychological confession. Was it just a student analyzing crime, or a man subconsciously (or deliberately) fantasizing about committing one? Then we examine the now-infamous thumbs-up mirror selfie — taken hours after the murders, while the victims’ bodies were still undiscovered. Was this a digital trophy? A nod to characters like Patrick Bateman or Norman Bates? And how does this tie into his alleged online behavior as “Papa Roger,” who eerily predicted details of the crime scene before they were public? We also explore the alleged stalking behavior, the suspected return to the crime scene, and the motive behind taunting the public with calculated anonymity. Is this a case of criminal narcissism, performative psychopathy, or simply the unraveling of a deeply disturbed mind? Was the knife sheath DNA his only mistake — or part of a performance? How do movies like American Psycho influence real-world killers? Could Kohberger’s digital footprint be a confession masked as curiosity? This is the story of a man who may have studied murder like a science — and left behind evidence not just in blood, but in pixels. Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

'Alternate Suspect' or Last-Ditch Lie, Bryan Kohberger’s Defense Strategy Examined

'Alternate Suspect' or Last-Ditch Lie, Bryan Kohberger’s Defense Strategy Examined In this gripping episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we’re diving deep into the courtroom behavior of Bryan Kohberger, the accused murderer in the University of Idaho quadruple homicide case. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, former Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, joins us to break down the psychology behind Kohberger’s latest courtroom moves—including his explosive last-minute claim that an alternate suspect committed the crimes. From a behavioral analysis perspective, what does it mean when a suspect suddenly points the finger elsewhere—nearly two years after their arrest? Is this a legitimate revelation, or a strategic act of desperation? Robin guides us through the clues hiding in plain sight: Kohberger’s silent demeanor, his calculated eye contact (or lack of it), and even his legal team’s push to control courtroom optics, language, and jury emotion. We discuss the importance of body language, courtroom control tactics, and behavioral red flags that may reveal more than any DNA test. Robin also explores the controversial use of Kohberger’s autism diagnosis—is it being used to explain odd behavior, or to shield more sinister intent? This is an in-depth behavioral breakdown of one of the most perplexing defendants in recent memory. Don’t miss what a real FBI profiler sees when Kohberger walks into court.

Criminology Turned Crime Did Kohberger Want To Teach About His Own Crime Someday

Criminology Turned Crime Did Kohberger Want To Teach About His Own Crime Someday Could Bryan Kohberger be telling the truth—or is he orchestrating one of the boldest courtroom manipulations we’ve seen in years? In this must-watch episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks down Kohberger’s behavior following the stunning introduction of an “alternate suspect” by his defense team just weeks before trial. We explore what it means when someone shifts the narrative this late in the game. Is this a psychological tactic designed to introduce confusion and reasonable doubt? Robin weighs in on everything from body language, deception cues, emotional control, and the weaponization of silence in a courtroom setting. As Kohberger’s team fights to keep graphic evidence out and his family in the room, we ask: what behaviors suggest genuine innocence, and which point to manipulation? Robin’s analysis offers a rare inside look at how trained profilers decode lies, shame, and guilt—all without a single word spoken. If you're following the Idaho murders case, this episode is essential viewing. We’re not just reviewing evidence—we’re dissecting human behavior in the courtroom under a microscope.

Five Legal Time Bombs in the Kohberger Case That Could Explode at Trial

Five Legal Time Bombs in the Kohberger Case That Could Explode at Trial Former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis joins us for a deep dive into the legal chess match unfolding in the Bryan Kohberger case. As Kohberger faces capital murder charges for the killings of four University of Idaho students, his defense team has filed a motion to delay the trial, citing constitutional violations and incomplete forensic and psychological investigations. But as Faddis explains, there’s much more going on beneath the surface. This isn’t just about trial prep—it’s about preserving appellate leverage. The motion to continue includes references to landmark Supreme Court cases like Wiggins v. Smith and Powell v. Alabama, invoking the concept of “heightened reliability” required in death penalty proceedings. Kohberger’s attorneys argue they need more time to complete a full “life history” mitigation investigation—one that includes trauma, mental health evaluations, and multi-generational background records. According to Faddis, these steps are standard in capital cases, but failing to do them thoroughly could open the door to a future reversal on appeal. We also unpack how the defense is weaponizing media coverage, including the recent Dateline NBC special and James Patterson’s upcoming book, to argue that Kohberger cannot receive a fair trial under current conditions. Faddis provides expert commentary on whether this pretrial publicity genuinely threatens the jury pool—or if it’s a calculated move to frame a potential mistrial argument before trial even begins. Is this defense strategy brilliant or overplayed? What forensic evidence still hasn’t been fully vetted? And how is this shaping up to be one of the most complicated capital trials in recent memory? Faddis brings clarity to a case that’s anything but clear. Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video? Check out our YouTube Channel.

We’re diving deep into the mental breadcrumbs Dateline may not even realize it dropped. From obsessive control patterns to eerie interpersonal blind spots, Scott unpacks the chilling psychological profile emerging through Kohberger’s behavior, online activity, and demeanor. Is this the mind of a cold-blooded killer — or something even more complex? How does his rigid need for control mirror clinical profiles of dark personality traits?

Alternate Killer Theory Debunked FBI Analysis of Kohberger’s Legal Twist

Alternate Killer Theory Debunked FBI Analysis of Kohberger’s Legal Twist Bryan Kohberger’s trial prep just took a sharp turn—and FBI profiler Robin Dreeke is here to decode the strategy. With the defense filing under seal to name an “alternate perpetrator,” the stakes couldn’t be higher. But what does this tell us about Kohberger’s mindset? Robin walks us through the psychology of denial, blame-shifting, and narrative control—especially when a defendant has been silent for nearly two years. From behavioral inconsistencies to courtroom micro-expressions, we explore how guilt and fear reveal themselves, even when words are scarce. We also dive into Kohberger’s prior writings on criminal behavior, his alleged stalking patterns, and what his actions before and after the murders say about personality type. Is this the work of a detached intellectual fantasist—or something darker? This episode breaks it all down through the lens of one of the FBI’s most experienced behavioral analysts.

10 Reasons Kohberger’s Lawyers Say the Trial Must Be Delayed

10 Reasons Kohberger’s Lawyers Say the Trial Must Be Delayed Bryan Kohberger’s defense team just filed a critical motion to delay his August 2025 trial—and the stakes couldn’t be higher. This video dives into the explosive details of that motion and why his lawyers are arguing that going to trial now could violate multiple constitutional rights and permanently damage the integrity of the case. Kohberger, charged with the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students, is facing the death penalty. His defense says that “death is different”—and legally, they’re right. In capital cases, the standards are higher, the investigations deeper, and the procedural requirements stricter. In this in-depth breakdown, we unpack how the defense is using precedent from landmark Supreme Court cases like Wiggins v. Smith and Powell v. Alabama to argue for more time to prepare. But there’s more. The motion accuses law enforcement of possible leaks to the media, points to damaging pretrial publicity from NBC’s Dateline and an upcoming James Patterson book, and raises the alarm over the inability to seat an impartial jury. Kohberger’s attorneys say the trial can’t be fair unless they’re given time to complete their discovery review, hire key expert witnesses, and finish a legally required “life history” investigation that could determine whether he lives or dies. This isn’t speculation—it’s strategy. Defense teams often build the foundation for appeals before trial even begins. If this motion is denied and the trial proceeds, Kohberger’s team will have documented every issue they believe could later overturn a conviction or death sentence. Join us as we break down what this motion means, how it could reshape the entire trial timeline, and why this may be one of the most legally important motions filed so far in the Kohberger case.

“I Can Do Whatever I Want With Little Remorse” — Bryan Kohberger's Own Words Broken Down

“I Can Do Whatever I Want With Little Remorse” — Bryan Kohberger's Own Words Broken Down Description: In his own writing, Bryan Kohberger once declared that he could do “whatever [he] wanted with little remorse.” It’s a statement that haunts — and possibly indicts. In this episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins us to break down that chilling phrase and the broader patterns behind it. Was it a cry for help, a narcissistic boast, or a foreshadowing confession? We’ll examine how that language aligns with known psychological archetypes and whether it supports a diagnosis of malignant detachment or psychopathy. This is a no-spin deep dive into the words of the man accused of the unthinkable. Hashtags: Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video? Check out our YouTube Channel.

Dateline’s Darkest Clues – What Kohberger’s Google Searches Say About His Mind

Dateline’s Darkest Clues – What Kohberger’s Google Searches Say About His Mind They say you are what you search. In Kohberger’s case? That saying might be terrifyingly true. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott is back with us to analyze the forensic goldmine hidden in Kohberger’s digital trail. What do his Google searches tell us about his preoccupation with violence, power, and planning? And how do those queries reflect the mindset of someone who may have rehearsed brutality long before acting on it? This episode isn’t about gore. It’s about cognition. Obsession. Intent. We shine a light into Kohberger’s browser history — and what it may reveal about his internal world. Hashtags: Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video? Check out our YouTube Channel.

Breaking Down Bryan Kohberger Bold Defense Move ‘Someone Else Did It’

Breaking Down Bryan Kohberger Bold Defense Move ‘Someone Else Did It’ In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dive deep into the dramatic developments from Bryan Kohberger’s May 15, 2025 pretrial hearing. For the first time, the defense team pointed to an “alternate suspect”—someone they claim may be responsible for the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students. While the identity remains sealed, the judge has scheduled a high-stakes hearing to determine whether this theory will be allowed at trial. We also explore the defense’s request to remove the death penalty, citing Kohberger’s autism spectrum diagnosis and overwhelming discovery challenges. With legal maneuvering in full force, the court is drawing clear boundaries—limiting inflammatory language, setting strict timelines, and determining who gets to sit in the courtroom when this trial begins. Tune in for an unflinching, fact-based breakdown of the defense's evolving narrative and how Judge Hippler is shaping the rules of engagement before a jury is even selected.

Those traits come up again and again in discussions about Bryan Kohberger — but what do they really mean in the mind of a potential killer?

Bryan Kohberger FBI Expert Jennifer Coffindaffer Breaks Down the Dateline Bombshells

Bryan Kohberger FBI Expert Jennifer Coffindaffer Breaks Down the Dateline Bombshells In this explosive episode of "Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to unpack the most chilling revelations from Dateline’s May 9th special on the Bryan Kohberger case. As the legal noose tightens around the accused Idaho student murder suspect, Dateline dropped a trove of new details that may dramatically shift public perception—and possibly the direction of the trial itself. We dive deep into the now-confirmed surveillance footage showing Kohberger’s white Hyundai Elantra circling the crime scene before the murders. We discuss the damning cell tower data showing his presence near the house more than 23 times before the killings. Coffindaffer also unpacks his disturbing Google searches about serial killers, drugging victims, and how to get away with murder. From a forensic and behavioral analysis standpoint, Coffindaffer raises critical red flags—analyzing what these digital breadcrumbs say about Kohberger’s intent, planning, and psychological profile. Was this premeditated murder? How do his alleged actions fit within known offender typologies? And what do experts like Coffindaffer think of Dateline’s portrayal?

Bryan Kohberger Trial Update: Judge Reveals New Rules & Disturbing Possibilities-Raw Court Audio

Bryan Kohberger Hearing Raw Court Audio: The countdown has begun. A district judge has now set the stage for one of the most high-profile murder trials in recent U.S. history. Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students in a brutal attack that shook the nation, will face trial starting August 11. The trial is expected to last three months—with livestream coverage, possible jury sequestration, and a chilling debate over "alternate perpetrators." Judge Steven Hippler announced new courtroom rules, including restricted video access during the testimony of the surviving roommates—raising fresh questions about what could come to light. Legal experts are watching closely, as the defense hints at a strategy that could introduce other suspects into the narrative. What will the public learn? And could this trial reshape how we view the night of November 13, 2022? This is everything we know right now about the upcoming Kohberger trial, the legal complexities at play, and why this case still haunts the country nearly two years later.

Dateline Just Sealed Kohbergers Fate: 23 Stalking Visits, Violent Searches, and a Chilling Pattern

Dateline Just Sealed Kohbergers Fate: 23 Stalking Visits, Violent Searches, and a Chilling Pattern There’s evidence… and then there’s behavior. In this episode, we go beyond the basics of the Bryan Kohberger case and explore what Dateline NBC has just revealed about the man prosecutors say meticulously stalked his victims — and left behind a trail of digital and psychological clues. Joining us is former FBI Behavioral Analyst Robin Dreeke, who gives expert commentary on the disturbing details presented in Dateline’s two-hour special: the 2:52 a.m. text from Kaylee, the clear surveillance video of Kohberger’s car, and the 23 late-night phone pings near King Road that prosecutors say signal long-term planning. But what really stands out are Kohberger’s Google searches — references to Ted Bundy, as well as explicit porn involving unconscious women. These aren’t random clicks. They suggest a level of psychological priming that, in Dreeke’s analysis, mirrors behavior seen in past sexual predators and killers. We also analyze how Kohberger allegedly tried to interact with women in socially awkward, overly formal ways — texting a partygoer after a brief chat to say, “I really enjoy that activity.” When put in the context of this case, these moments feel less like quirks and more like signs of deep pathology. We cover the knife sheath DNA, the Amazon Ka-Bar order, and the Indiana traffic stop with his father — but through the lens of behavioral escalation. How do fantasy and fixation become murder? And did Kohberger cross that line long before Nov. 13? This is the psychological autopsy of a suspect — with an FBI expert walking us through every disturbing clue.

Bryan Kohbergers Damning Dateline & The 5 Biggest Bombshells

Bryan Kohbergers Damning Dateline & The 5 Biggest Bombshells Dateline NBC's May 9th special on Bryan Kohberger delivered some of the most comprehensive — and chilling — updates we've seen since the start of the Idaho student murders investigation. In this episode of Murder in the Morning with Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole, we take you point-by-point through every new detail Dateline uncovered, cutting through the sensationalism to focus on what really matters for the upcoming trial. We begin with the newly released surveillance footage: a white Hyundai Elantra allegedly circling the crime scene just minutes before the murders took place. Then we break down Kohberger’s digital trail — specifically, the 23 times his cell phone pinged near the house before the murders, painting a disturbing picture of stalking and surveillance. But it doesn’t stop there. Dateline also exposed Google searches made by Kohberger that included terms like “Ted Bundy,” “drugged,” and “passed out.” We explore what this means in terms of intent, fantasy, and psychological fixation. We also assess Dateline’s framing: Did they overplay certain aspects? Did they downplay others? And how does this align with the known timeline and evidence? Whether you’re a true crime junkie or just following the case closely, this breakdown gives you the expert-level dissection you need to stay up to speed on one of the most disturbing and highly scrutinized murder cases of our time.

Ted Bundy Obsession, DNA on Knife Sheath, and 23 Visits: Kohberger Exposed By Dateline In this episode, we unpack Dateline NBC’s newest special on the Bryan Kohberger case — and this one drops bombshell after bombshell. From never-before-seen surveillance footage of the white Elantra, to chilling Google searches, to a haunting 2:52 a.m. text from Kaylee Goncalves just moments before her death — this isn’t a recap, it’s a psychological breakdown of a killer’s digital trail. Joining us is retired FBI Behavioral Analyst Robin Dreeke, who helps decode the disturbing patterns behind the evidence. What does it mean that Kohberger’s phone pinged near the King Road home 23 times, always after dark? What can we learn from his searches for "drugged," "passed out," and “Ted Bundy” before and after the murders? This isn’t just forensic analysis — it’s a look into the possible fantasy life of an alleged predator. We explore how prosecutors say Kohberger bought a Ka-Bar knife from Amazon eight months before the murders — the same model found at the scene with his DNA on the sheath. And we dive into his strange social behaviors, including unsolicited texts to women, overly formal messages, and a reported break-in tactic where he allegedly installed surveillance equipment for someone he had frightened. Robin Dreeke lends his behavioral expertise to connect the dots. Are we looking at an individual who escalated from obsession to action — or can the defense’s “alternate suspect” theory still hold water?

Did Bryan Kohberger Kill to Impress His Professor FBI Profiler Robin Dreeke Breaks It Down

Did Bryan Kohberger Kill to Impress His Professor FBI Profiler Robin Dreeke Breaks It Down In this gripping episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dives into one of the most bizarre and controversial theories in the Bryan Kohberger case: the idea that Kohberger may have committed the murders of four University of Idaho students to impress his former professor, Dr. Katherine Ramsland. This theory, reported by journalist Howard Blum, has drawn comparisons to John Hinckley Jr.'s attempted assassination of President Reagan to impress actress Jodie Foster. But is it psychologically plausible? Dreeke, who once led the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, brings his deep expertise in motive, delusion, and high-risk behavioral patterns to break down the facts. Could Kohberger's academic obsession with serial killers have blurred the line between research and reality? Did he see his alleged crime as a twisted form of validation from a mentor he idolized? We explore how common—or rare—this type of motive actually is, what kind of psychological markers are typically present, and what kind of evidence investigators would need to verify such a theory in court. Dreeke also explains why the absence of hard proof doesn’t necessarily mean the theory is wrong—it just makes it legally dangerous to rely on it without corroboration. Whether you believe the "impress the professor" theory or not, Dreeke helps cut through the noise to reveal what behaviors actually matter in assessing this case. This is a must-watch for anyone trying to understand the psychology behind one of the most confusing and disturbing alleged motives in recent true crime history.

From Student to Suspect: Did Kohberger Turn Ramsland’s Teachings into Murder

From Student to Suspect Did Kohberger Turn Ramsland’s Teachings into Murder Could Bryan Kohberger have transformed from criminology student to accused killer as a way to "show his work" to a professor he idolized? That’s the chilling theory raised by journalist Howard Blum—and in this episode of Hidden Killers, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke is here to dig into it. Dr. Katherine Ramsland, Kohberger’s former professor and one of the foremost experts on serial killers, has never commented publicly on her former student. But Blum’s reporting alleges that Kohberger emailed her before and after the murders—and that the killings may have been a twisted performance piece to earn her intellectual admiration. Dreeke brings his behavioral profiling expertise to dissect this theory. What kind of mindset does it take to commit a quadruple homicide as a form of symbolic achievement? And what role does ego—particularly in academically driven narcissists—play in escalating obsession into violence? Together, we examine whether Kohberger was trying to become the embodiment of what he studied. Was he staging a real-life case to rival those in Ramsland’s books? Or was it something even darker—a final exam, so to speak, intended to impress the very person who taught him how to analyze the criminal mind?

Bryan Kohberger’s Search History Revealed: 'Passed Out,' 'Drugged,' and Ted Bundy Obsession

Bryan Kohberger’s Search History Revealed: 'Passed Out,' 'Drugged,' and Ted Bundy Obsession In this episode, we break down Dateline NBC’s most revealing special yet on the case of Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of murdering four University of Idaho students. This isn’t just a rehash — it’s a deep forensic and psychological look into Kohberger’s alleged behavior before, during, and after the crime. From disturbing internet searches to previously unseen texts and surveillance footage, this case is starting to look more premeditated than ever. One of the biggest revelations? A text from Kaylee Goncalves to her ex-boyfriend Jack at 2:52 a.m., just minutes before the killings began — a haunting detail that solidifies the timeline prosecutors have been building. The Dateline episode also reveals new video of a white Elantra circling the King Road home multiple times, exactly during the window the murders occurred. It's the clearest footage yet, and prosecutors believe it shows Kohberger stalking the scene. But it doesn’t stop there. Dateline unveils FBI cell tower analysis showing that Kohberger’s phone pinged near the victims' home 23 separate times over four months — always after dark. That kind of pattern points to calculated observation. Add in the fact that Kohberger allegedly bought a Ka-Bar knife eight months prior — the same kind found at the crime scene — and prosecutors believe a narrative of long-term planning is forming. Most disturbing of all may be the search history. Kohberger’s phone, seized by law enforcement, contained searches related to serial killer Ted Bundy, and pornography involving unconscious or drugged individuals. These aren’t just red flags — they’re psychological markers that hint at fantasy becoming action. We also hear from former classmates and partygoers who describe Kohberger’s bizarre and formal social behavior, including unsolicited messages to women and awkward encounters months before the attack. Is this the profile of a killer ...

Inside Kohberger’s Mind: Break-Ins, Search History, and the Gloves That Gave Him Away

Inside Kohberger’s Mind: Break-Ins, Search History, and the Gloves That Gave Him Away In this episode, we dive deep into the mind of Bryan Kohberger — not through speculation, but through verified evidence and behavioral analysis revealed in the explosive Dateline NBC special. While Chapter 1 laid out the hard forensic and digital facts, this time we’re turning the lens toward psychological patterns, red flags, and expert FBI commentary that expose a disturbing escalation in Kohberger’s alleged behavior. Retired FBI Behavioral Analyst Greg Cooper joins Dateline to explain what he sees as a clear pattern of "progressive domination." What does that mean? It’s the methodical, step-by-step testing of boundaries — and Kohberger, according to newly reported evidence, was allegedly doing just that in the months before the murders. We break down the alleged break-in of a female grad student’s apartment, where Kohberger reportedly rearranged her belongings, only to later offer to install surveillance cameras — a move that investigators now believe was staged to allow him to spy on her remotely. It’s a chilling story, confirmed by Dateline, that may point to a psychological “rehearsal” before the brutal crimes on King Road. We also examine Kohberger’s search history, which included terms like “Ted Bundy,” and graphic pornography involving “passed out,” “drugged,” and “sleeping” individuals — both before and after the murders. These were not random clicks. Behavioral experts say they signal a dark internal world potentially aligned with control, voyeurism, and violent fantasy. Former classmates describe Kohberger’s unsettling social behavior, from overly formal follow-up texts to awkward, invasive conversations that made them uneasy. Dateline gives voice to those who noticed something “off” long before his arrest — and only now realize how serious those behaviors may have been. And finally, we unpack Kohberger’s post-crime conduct, including his use of latex gloves around t...

“Murder for Mentorship FBI Profiler Explores Kohberger’s Alleged Obsession with Ramsland”

“Murder for Mentorship FBI Profiler Explores Kohberger’s Alleged Obsession with Ramsland” Was the motive for one of the most haunting mass killings in recent history not rage, not revenge—but academic admiration? In this exclusive interview, Tony Brueski sits down with former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to dissect the Howard Blum theory that Bryan Kohberger may have murdered four students as a twisted gesture to impress his former criminology professor, Dr. Katherine Ramsland. This theory has captivated and unsettled the public, offering a motive that feels ripped straight from a psychological thriller. But Dreeke—who specialized in decoding human behavior and threat assessments—helps bring it back down to earth. What would it take, behaviorally, for someone to develop that kind of obsessive admiration? And does Kohberger's background support such a profile? We examine Ramsland’s influence in Kohberger’s academic career, the behavioral patterns that suggest fixation, and how rare it actually is for a student to turn to violence in a bid for academic approval. Dreeke also weighs in on the kind of evidence—emails, journals, statements—that would be required to take this theory from “clickbait” to courtroom credibility. This episode doesn’t just theorize—it dissects, challenges, and investigates. If you’ve been following the Kohberger case and wondering how credible the Ramsland motive theory really is, you won’t want to miss this deeply informed discussion.

Kohberger DATELINE BOMBSHELLS - Google History EXPOSED ‘Drugged,’ ‘Passed Out,’ and Ted Bundy Obsession & MORE!

Kohberger DATELINE BOMBSHELLS - Google History EXPOSED ‘Drugged,’ ‘Passed Out,’ and Ted Bundy Obsession & MORE! In this episode, we break down NBC Dateline’s latest bombshell on the Bryan Kohberger case — and this one hits differently. We’re not just talking about a car circling a house. We're talking about damning details: texts sent moments before the murders, previously unseen photos from inside 1122 King Road, and chilling Google searches that reveal the twisted obsessions of an accused killer. Dateline's new two-hour special gives us what court filings can't: a visceral timeline that shows how close Kohberger allegedly got to his victims — and how long it had been building. It opens with a jarring text from Kaylee Goncalves to her ex-boyfriend, sent at 2:52 a.m., just minutes before the murders began. A completely normal message. Except it would be her last. Then, security footage. We now see, with eerie clarity, a white Elantra circling the house — again and again — before fleeing just 13 minutes later. It's the clearest visual evidence yet of what prosecutors say was predatory behavior. And Kohberger? He drove a 2015 Elantra. But this Dateline episode doesn’t stop at the car. We learn about search history from Kohberger's phone that includes terms like “Ted Bundy,” “forced,” “passed out,” “drugged,” and “sleeping” porn — a disturbing pattern that suggests a dark psychological undercurrent before and after the murders. This wasn’t a one-off. FBI cell tower data places Kohberger near the King Road home 23 times over a four-month span — always after dark. There’s also the knife. A Ka-Bar, bought on Amazon eight months prior. A matching sheath, left behind at the crime scene, carrying Kohberger’s DNA. Prosecutors say it was recovered next to Madison Mogen’s body. Dateline also exposes how Kohberger may have interacted with others before the murders — including one woman who received a bizarre, overly formal text after a brief chat at a party. Another student s...

Bryan Kohberger 10 Things You’d Have to Believe to Think He’s Innocent

Bryan Kohberger 10 Things You’d Have to Believe to Think He’s Innocent Is Bryan Kohberger really innocent? In this deep-dive true crime breakdown, we dissect the overwhelming evidence stacked against the man accused of brutally murdering four University of Idaho students in November 2022. This video pulls apart every argument, every piece of forensic evidence, and every behavioral clue to explore one chilling question: What would you actually have to believe to think Kohberger didn’t do it? From the damning DNA found on the KA-BAR knife sheath left beside Madison Mogen’s body, to the eerie blackout of Kohberger’s phone during the exact window of the murders, and his white Hyundai Elantra matching surveillance footage fleeing the crime scene—this video walks you through all of it. If you think the case is circumstantial, think again. We explore how Kohberger’s criminology background and his disturbing Reddit research survey about the emotions of committing crime add psychological depth to the story. Why was a Ph.D. student studying serial killers and police behavior suddenly scrubbing his car “inch by inch” in latex gloves weeks after the murders? Why was he disposing of trash in his neighbor’s bins? And why has his defense failed to challenge the most incriminating evidence? You’ll also hear about the failure to produce any public alibi, the silence from the defense on the DNA match, and the bizarre post-arrest question: “Am I the only one being arrested?” This is the story of a man who allegedly thought he could outsmart modern forensics, surveillance, and digital trails—and failed. Whether you believe in innocent until proven guilty or think the evidence speaks for itself, this is the video that lays it all out and challenges every excuse.
