The Idaho Murders | The Case Against Bryan Kohberger

Before Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students, his defense team was quietly preparing a courtroom strategy that would have shocked the nation. According to newly unsealed court filings, Kohberger planned to call friends of the victims — and even the survivors themselves — as defense witnesses. Among them: Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke, the two young women who lived through that horrific night in November 2022. Also on the list were Emily Alandt, Hunter Johnson, and Kaylee Goncalves' ex-boyfriend, Jack DeCoeur. Imagine it — the two surviving roommates, who lost four of their closest friends, being forced to testify for the man accused of killing them. That was the reality Kohberger's defense was preparing for before he struck a plea deal in July 2025 to avoid the death penalty. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down what that trial might have looked like — and how Kohberger's strategy reveals far more about his psychology than any confession ever could. Why would a killer want his survivors on the stand? What kinds of questions would they have faced? And what kind of manipulation drives someone to keep controlling people even after their arrest? This deep-dive dissects the legal and psychological layers of the case: from the 138 witnesses Kohberger planned to call, to the devastating emotional toll that trial would have inflicted on every surviving friend and family member. Because for Kohberger, control wasn't just about life and death — it was about owning the story. And this time, he lost it.

When Bryan Kohberger suddenly took a plea deal, the courtroom went silent — and with it, hundreds of pieces of evidence, witness testimony, and forensic detail that were set to define one of the most watched murder trials in America. Now, newly unsealed documents are giving us a chilling glimpse at what the jury would have seen: the DNA on the knife sheath, the phone data that tracked Kohberger's movements, and the professors at Washington State University who were ready to testify about his behavior and his disturbing fascination with Ted Bundy. In this episode, we dive deep into the evidence that never reached the courtroom. From autopsy findings showing skull fractures and defensive wounds — to the Bundy-inspired patterns prosecutors were prepared to lay out — this is the inside story of the case that ended before it began. We'll also look at what's happening inside Idaho's maximum-security prison right now. Records show Kohberger filing grievances, clashing with staff, and trying to control his world through paperwork — the same obsessive behavior that defined him long before his arrest. What did the public lose when this case never went to trial? What truths are still buried in sealed exhibits and redacted reports? And what does the newly unsealed evidence tell us about the mind of the man behind the Idaho student murders? Join Tony Brueski as Hidden Killers pulls back the curtain on the evidence the world was never meant to see — and the haunting parallels between Bryan Kohberger and the killers he studied.

There's a kind of cruelty that doesn't end with a conviction. It's quieter — colder — and it shows up in the fine print of legal filings long after the headlines fade. Convicted killer Bryan Kohberger, now serving four consecutive life sentences for the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, has found a new way to wound the families of his victims — by refusing to pay them the restitution the court ordered. In a stunning October filing, Kohberger's defense argued he shouldn't have to pay because the victims' families received donations through GoFundMe. That's right — he's trying to use the kindness of strangers as a legal loophole to get out of paying what he owes. His lawyers claim the families “did not suffer an economic loss” because they were “extensively funded” through public generosity. It's a move that feels less like a legal argument and more like one final act of control from a man who's spent every step of this process refusing to take accountability. The same man who broke into 1122 King Road that November night and took four young lives is now arguing over dollars and decimals from his prison cell. But here's the deeper truth: this isn't about money — it's about power. About the narcissistic offender's need to stay relevant, to twist the knife one last time, even when the world's stopped listening. The Goncalves and Mogen families, who've already endured the unthinkable, are being forced to re-engage with a man who should've faded into the background of justice months ago. This episode of Hidden Killers breaks down the legal, psychological, and moral layers of Kohberger's final insult — how it exposes the pathology of control, entitlement, and complete emotional detachment that's defined him from the start. Because for Bryan Kohberger, the violence never really stopped. It just changed form. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #CrimePsychology #JusticeForIdaho4 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before the flashing lights and the headlines, the Kohbergers were just a quiet Pennsylvania family. Then one December night, the world changed — and so did their last name. In this Hidden Killers special, Tony Brueski explores the human cost of infamy through the story “Growing Up Kohberger.” What happens when your sibling becomes the nation's most hated man? What happens when your last name turns radioactive overnight? Through documented accounts, psychological research, and parallel stories from other families of killers, Tony examines what experts call courtesy stigma — the inherited guilt of proximity. He explores the moral injury of love and revulsion colliding, and the silent trauma of “ambiguous loss,” where the person you love is alive but gone forever. This isn't about the crime — it's about the quiet aftermath. A mother trembling in court. Sisters deciding whether to change their names. A family learning to breathe again in a world that won't forget. Because the hardest sentence isn't always served by the guilty. Sometimes it's carried by the ones who have to keep living under the same name. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #TonyBrueski #KohbergerFamily #Psychology #CourtesyStigma #CriminalPsychology #MoscowIdaho Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There's something broken in the system — and Bryan Kohberger knows exactly how to exploit it. You'd think that after pleading guilty and being sentenced to four consecutive life terms for the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, this case would finally be over. But it's not. Kohberger is still managing to pull the strings from inside his cell — not through violence this time, but through bureaucracy. In October, his defense team filed a motion arguing that he shouldn't have to pay restitution to the victims' families because they received money from GoFundMe. The move outraged the public — but here's the hidden truth: his attorneys probably had no choice. Under Idaho law, court-appointed attorneys like Anne Taylor and her team can't simply walk away once a case is “over.” They're bound by the rules of criminal procedure to continue representing their client until the court formally releases them. And the court almost never does — especially in a case this complex and public. That means every time Kohberger wants to file another motion — no matter how manipulative or hollow it may seem — his attorneys have to sign it. They can advise him not to, but if he insists, and it's not illegal or frivolous, they're obligated to comply. So what we're seeing isn't greed. It's a broken system that traps everyone: lawyers forced to act as mouthpieces for a killer, taxpayers forced to keep footing the bill, and families forced to relive the case every time his name shows up on a docket. This episode of Hidden Killers exposes how a justice system built to guarantee fairness ends up being hijacked by the very people it's supposed to contain — and how Bryan Kohberger, even behind bars, is still finding ways to exert control. Because sometimes, evil doesn't end when the sentence is handed down. It just changes form. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #JusticeSystem #CrimeAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In a powerful new conversation, Alivia Goncalves — sister of Kaylee Goncalves, one of the victims in the University of Idaho murders — is breaking her silence about her private meeting with prosecutors and investigators in Lewiston, Idaho in an interview with Brian Entin. We discuss what she revealed to him. For the first time, Alivia shares what really happened behind closed doors on October 6th, when she sat alone across from members of the prosecution team, Idaho State Police, and Moscow PD — determined to learn everything she could about her sister's murder and the evidence against Bryan Kohberger. In this emotional, revealing discussion, Alivia describes the meeting as “traumatizing but necessary.” She opens up about what it was like to see key evidence firsthand — including the full surveillance timeline tracking Kohberger's movements from 3:00 to 4:20 a.m., the cell tower CAST data showing 23 visits to the victims' home, and even one carefully redacted crime scene photo. She also talks about the moment prosecutor Bill Thompson admitted he couldn't guarantee that sensitive images would never leak — a moment that pushed her to face the unthinkable rather than risk being blindsided online later. Alivia reveals new context about Kohberger's Amazon knife purchase, the witness list including one of his sisters, and her reaction to recently unsealed Washington State University reports detailing multiple complaints from women who said Kohberger made them feel unsafe. But the heart of this story isn't just the evidence — it's Alivia's ongoing mission. She's building a digital archive to preserve the full truth of what happened to Kaylee, Maddie, Xana, and Ethan — to protect their legacy from conspiracy theories and online distortion. This is a story about strength, truth, and the fight to keep reality intact. #BryanKohberger #KayleeGoncalves #IdahoMurders #MoscowIdaho #AliviaGoncalves #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #UniversityOfIdaho #JusticeForKaylee #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before the families could speak, Hollywood did. In a stunning October 2025 announcement, Lifetime confirmed that actor Miles Merry will play Bryan Kohberger in an upcoming dramatization of the Idaho student murders. The film, part of the network's long-running “Ripped From the Headlines” series, is already deep in pre-production — casting finalized, production crew set, and a release date likely locked. But the families of the victims? They were never asked. Never consulted. Never warned. This is Lifetime's formula: turn tragedy into prime-time content. They did it with Amanda Knox, Gabby Petito, and Chris Watts — all criticized for exploiting real people's pain. But the Kohberger case stands apart. There was no trial, no testimony, no motive revealed under oath. Kohberger pled guilty in July 2025, receiving four consecutive life sentences without parole. The record is silent — and into that silence, Lifetime will now write fiction. That's what makes this story so unsettling. Without verified facts, screenwriters must invent them: imagined conflicts, fictional flashbacks, emotional arcs, and even dialogue for the killer himself. None of it comes from evidence or sworn testimony — yet millions will watch and remember those scenes as if they were true. Alivea Goncalves, sister of victim Kaylee Goncalves, called it “really angering.” The families weren't informed. They learned from the headlines. To them, the victims are not characters, and their grief is not a plotline. This isn't about one network being evil — it's about the moral cost of entertainment that blurs the line between truth and storytelling. Because when a true crime story gets rewritten for television, it doesn't just distort memory — it replaces it. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #LifetimeMovie #TrueCrimeNews #KayleeGoncalves #XanaKernodle #MadisonMogen #EthanChapin #TrueCrimeCommunity #JusticeForTheVictims Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why did Bryan Kohberger suddenly plead guilty after nearly two years of pretrial warfare? The answer might be more personal—and more psychological—than legal. In this breakdown, we explore how the revelation that Kohberger's sister, Amanda, was on the prosecution's witness list may have triggered a collapse in his carefully controlled defense. For a man driven by dominance, image, and manipulation, the prospect of family testifying against him may have cut deeper than any courtroom battle. We unpack:  • The timeline between Amanda being listed and Kohberger's plea  • What his control-obsessed behavior says about the psychology of his decision  • How avoiding a trial may have spared his family—and preserved his own narcissistic narrative  • The legal pressures: failed suppression motions, damning DNA rulings, and an inevitable death penalty trial  • The psychology of narcissistic collapse and what it looks like when the mask slips Was it guilt, fear, or one last act of ego-driven control disguised as mercy? This is the deeper story behind Kohberger's plea—and what it says about him.  #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #KohbergerGuilty #CriminalPsychology #TrueCrimeBreakdown #KohbergerFamily #ControlAndCollapse #TrueCrimePodcast #PsychologicalProfile #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

They kill. Then they smile for cameras, clock in for work, or go grocery shopping. In this chilling Hidden Killers investigation, we explore “The Performance of Normal” — the haunting calm that follows murder. Starting with Bryan Kohberger, who prosecutors say was seen casually shopping hours after the brutal Idaho student murders, we dive deep into the psychology behind that eerie stillness. Why do some killers seem completely composed after committing horrific crimes? From John List, who ate lunch next to his wife's body before vanishing for 18 years… To Dennis Rader (BTK), who left a Boy Scout camp to murder and came back by morning to flip pancakes for the troop. To Chris Watts, who went to work just hours after killing his pregnant wife and daughters. To Stephen McDaniel, who gave a TV interview about his “missing” neighbor — the same woman he had just murdered. To Colonel Russell Williams, a respected Canadian military commander smiling for charity photos days after taking a life. To Tyler Hadley, the Florida teen who killed his parents, then threw a party with their bodies hidden in the next room. To Susan Smith, the mother who tearfully begged for her children's return after drowning them herself. And Ian Huntley, the school caretaker who joined the search for two girls he had already murdered. This episode examines the psychology of composure — how killers weaponize calmness, and why society so often mistakes it for innocence. It's not just what they do. It's what they don't. Because sometimes, evil doesn't look like rage. It looks like control. It looks like “normal.”

In this gripping psychological breakdown, we go beyond the headlines and into the behavioral blueprint of Bryan Kohberger—the man convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students. Was he a psychopath? A narcissist? Or something more complicated? Join Tony Brueski on Hidden Killers as we pull apart the clinical language behind the internet's most overused labels. “Psychopath” and “narcissist” aren't just insults—they're technical profiles, rooted in years of forensic and psychological study. And in Kohberger's case, the question isn't just what he did… but why. What does his academic obsession with criminology reveal? What do prosecutors say about his movements before and after the crime? And what does his eerie silence in court actually mean—remorselessness or just legal strategy? We examine documented facts from court filings, affidavits, and verified reporting: • The infamous knife sheath with DNA • Cell phone records showing surveillance and signal gaps • Prosecutors' theory of forensic planning • Kohberger's alleged superiority complex and behavioral coldness Through the lens of expert frameworks—including the Hare Psychopathy Checklist and diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder—we'll explore the traits the public finds chilling, and what they really mean. This isn't a character assassination. It's a forensic dissection of behavior, motive, and risk—delivered in Tony's signature style: fact-driven, emotionally grounded, and built for audiences who want more than just true crime drama. No speculation. No sensationalism. Just what the public record shows—and what psychology helps us understand.

In the face of unthinkable tragedy, Stacy Chapin, the mother of slain University of Idaho student Ethan Chapin, chose a path of grace over vengeance. This deeply moving commentary from Hidden Killers explores her powerful decision to not let Bryan Kohberger—the accused killer—define her or her family's story. Instead of focusing on the crime, Stacy and her family have channeled their grief into a powerful legacy, establishing scholarships and writing a book to honor Ethan's life. This episode is a tribute to the strength of the human spirit. It's about what happens after the crime—the difficult journey of healing, the importance of reclaiming a victim's memory, and the radical act of choosing peace in a world that demands outrage. We'll examine this unique approach to grieving and the profound impact it can have on survivors. This is a story of resilience, love, and the enduring power of a family's legacy.

What does life look like for Bryan Kohberger now that he's off the front page and locked inside one of Idaho's most restrictive prisons? In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we go inside the Idaho Maximum Security Institution—home to death row, long-term restrictive housing, and now, Bryan Kohberger. This is not general population. This is J Block. And the reality of Kohberger's existence there is bleak. We break down every confirmed detail of his day-to-day life: • 23 hours a day in a single cell • One hour of solo outdoor rec • Showers every other day • Movement only in full restraints • Commissary as his only “task” of the week • Surveillance on all calls, messages, and mail • Visitation through glass, if allowed at all Using official records from the Idaho Department of Correction and verified reporting, this is a deeply researched, fact-driven look at the institutional monotony, isolation, and psychological erosion that defines Kohberger's life today. This isn't a story of redemption, revenge, or rehabilitation. It's the slow, bureaucratic erasure of a man from public view—no longer a suspect, no longer a student, no longer in control.

In this gripping psychological breakdown, we go beyond the headlines and into the behavioral blueprint of Bryan Kohberger—the man convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students. Was he a psychopath? A narcissist? Or something more complicated? Join Tony Brueski on Hidden Killers as we pull apart the clinical language behind the internet's most overused labels. “Psychopath” and “narcissist” aren't just insults—they're technical profiles, rooted in years of forensic and psychological study. And in Kohberger's case, the question isn't just what he did… but why. What does his academic obsession with criminology reveal? What do prosecutors say about his movements before and after the crime? And what does his eerie silence in court actually mean—remorselessness or just legal strategy? We examine documented facts from court filings, affidavits, and verified reporting:  • The infamous knife sheath with DNA  • Cell phone records showing surveillance and signal gaps  • Prosecutors' theory of forensic planning  • Kohberger's alleged superiority complex and behavioral coldness Through the lens of expert frameworks—including the Hare Psychopathy Checklist and diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder—we'll explore the traits the public finds chilling, and what they really mean. This isn't a character assassination. It's a forensic dissection of behavior, motive, and risk—delivered in Tony's signature style: fact-driven, emotionally grounded, and built for audiences who want more than just true crime drama. No speculation. No sensationalism. Just what the public record shows—and what psychology helps us understand.

In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down the latest twist in the Bryan Kohberger saga — one that has nothing to do with guilt, innocence, or trial evidence, but everything to do with the system that's supposed to hold everyone accountable. The Idaho Department of Correction has confirmed that the leaked prison video showing Kohberger inside his cell was authentic. The person responsible has been identified and is no longer employed. But the headline that's sparking national debate: Idaho State Police say no criminal charges will be filed. “Insufficient evidence,” they called it. But what does that really mean? In this deep-dive editorial, Tony exposes how this decision isn't just about one rogue employee — it's about the cracks forming in the walls of justice itself. Because when people inside the system start deciding which rules apply and which don't, the system stops being about law and order. It becomes about personal judgment. About vengeance dressed as justice. We'll unpack: Why the act technically didn't qualify as a criminal offense under Idaho law How this legal “gray zone” turns into a dangerous precedent for every inmate — and every citizen Why integrity behind prison walls matters just as much as the integrity of the courtroom The real meaning of “If they can do it to him, they can do it to anyone.” This isn't a defense of Bryan Kohberger. It's a defense of the rule of law. Because when power stops being restrained by principle, it stops being justice. Watch the full breakdown now, and decide for yourself — is this just a technicality, or a warning sign that the system is slipping? #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast #KohbergerVideo #JusticeSystem #PrisonLeak #IdahoDOC #RuleOfLaw Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we pull back the curtain on the most misleading—and most dangerous—phase of any major crime story: the first 72 hours. Using the Bryan Kohberger case as a case study, Tony dissects how the earliest reporting on the University of Idaho murders quickly spiraled into misinformation, emotional panic, and public certainty based on little more than vague police statements and internet rumor. From “no threat to the community” to “unconscious person” to the infamous white Hyundai ask—almost everything the public believed in the first three days either changed or was clarified later. But by then, the narrative had hardened. In this longform breakdown, we expose how the fog of breaking news forms, why the media often isn't lying (even when the facts change), and how psychologically we cling to early stories even in the face of hard evidence. We explore the myths that formed—victims tied and gagged, the skinned dog rumor, the DoorDash driver, stalker theories—and show exactly what was reported when and why the facts didn't stick. This is not a hit piece on the press. It's a sharp, fact-driven guide to how public perception gets hijacked during active investigations, and why it matters—especially in a case as emotionally loaded and legally complex as the Kohberger trial. If you followed this case from the beginning, you need to hear this. Because chances are, some of what you still believe was never true to begin with.

In the face of unthinkable tragedy, Stacy Chapin, the mother of slain University of Idaho student Ethan Chapin, chose a path of grace over vengeance. This deeply moving commentary from Hidden Killers explores her powerful decision to not let Bryan Kohberger—the accused killer—define her or her family's story. Instead of focusing on the crime, Stacy and her family have channeled their grief into a powerful legacy, establishing scholarships and writing a book to honor Ethan's life. This episode is a tribute to the strength of the human spirit. It's about what happens after the crime—the difficult journey of healing, the importance of reclaiming a victim's memory, and the radical act of choosing peace in a world that demands outrage. We'll examine this unique approach to grieving and the profound impact it can have on survivors. This is a story of resilience, love, and the enduring power of a family's legacy.

What does life look like for Bryan Kohberger now that he's off the front page and locked inside one of Idaho's most restrictive prisons? In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we go inside the Idaho Maximum Security Institution—home to death row, long-term restrictive housing, and now, Bryan Kohberger. This is not general population. This is J Block. And the reality of Kohberger's existence there is bleak. We break down every confirmed detail of his day-to-day life: • 23 hours a day in a single cell • One hour of solo outdoor rec • Showers every other day • Movement only in full restraints • Commissary as his only “task” of the week • Surveillance on all calls, messages, and mail • Visitation through glass, if allowed at all Using official records from the Idaho Department of Correction and verified reporting, this is a deeply researched, fact-driven look at the institutional monotony, isolation, and psychological erosion that defines Kohberger's life today. This isn't a story of redemption, revenge, or rehabilitation. It's the slow, bureaucratic erasure of a man from public view—no longer a suspect, no longer a student, no longer in control. Tony Brueski guides you through this haunting portrait with the signature Hidden Killers voice: sharp, emotionally grounded, and relentlessly focused on truth over spectacle.

"Too Disturbing to See”: Judge Blocks Graphic Kohberger Crime Scene Photos-WEEK IN REVIEW Should the worst moments of someone's life be public forever? In this gripping episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we unpack a powerful new court ruling in the Bryan Kohberger case—one that challenges how far the public's right to know really goes. Idaho Judge Megan Marshall has officially barred the release of graphic crime scene photos depicting the slain bodies of four University of Idaho students: Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Why does this matter? Because we're living in an age where “transparency” often doubles as clickbait. The photos in question, described by the judge as “incredibly disturbing,” were requested under Idaho's Public Records Act. But citing emotional trauma to the families and legal precedent around survivor privacy, the court drew a clear line: some truths don't need to be seen to be known. We break down the legal framework behind the ruling, including the landmark National Archives v. Favish decision and the Ninth Circuit's recognition of post-mortem privacy. We also explore the tension between legitimate public interest and pure morbid curiosity—especially in the digital age where true crime content gets instantly repurposed, decontextualized, and weaponized online. What gets lost when we treat victim imagery as “just another post”? And what do we actually gain when the system chooses dignity over spectacle? This is not just a legal story—it's a cultural reckoning. One that asks: Is it justice if the families suffer more after the verdict is in? Watch now as we separate justice from voyeurism—and explain why this ruling may reshape the future of transparency in high-profile true crime cases.

Inside Bryan Kohberger's Murder-Morning Shopping Trip & What the Survivors Endured Two threads. One killer. And a behavioral trail that doesn't lie. In this combined breakdown, I'm joined by Robin Dreeke to walk through two critical pieces of the Kohberger case: The post-murder shopping footage, where Kohberger casually walks the aisles at Costco and the grocery store—mere hours after the murders. The survivor interviews, where Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke describe confusion, fear, and sensory chaos inside the house that night. This isn't about internet drama. It's about how behavior—on both ends—tells the story. We look at how Kohberger re-entered public space like nothing had happened. Robin explains what the FBI looks for in footage like this: timing, movement, risk exposure, behavioral regulation. Then we shift to the interviews—two young women surviving something unspeakable. We walk through what they said, why they said it the way they did, and why the people attacking them online are dead wrong. This segment is about evidence, not ego. About listening, not twisting. About understanding what trauma sounds like—and what performance looks like. Bryan Kohberger is guilty. He's in prison. But the story doesn't end at conviction. These details matter. Because they show us the full anatomy of this case—from the killer's fake calm to the survivors' real fear.

Stop Blaming the Kohberger Survivors: Inside The Victim Interviews There's a special kind of sickness in the way people have twisted the trauma of Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke into online conspiracy bait. Two young women lived through the unimaginable—and the internet turned them into suspects in their own survival. In this segment, I sit down with Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent, to walk through the actual police interviews of the surviving roommates in the Kohberger case. Not to dissect their words—but to understand them. Dylan heard noises. A dog barking. Someone say “someone's here.” Bethany noticed light. Movement. A shift in the air. And none of it made sense until it was too late. That's trauma. That's shock. That's the brain locking up to keep you alive. Robin helps us unpack how trained investigators read this kind of narrative:  – Why fragmented memory doesn't equal fabrication  – How time distortion, confusion, and delay are common under threat  – And why influencers trying to score clout off survivor pain are the real rot in the system We walk through the timeline without judgment. We connect their words to forensic markers. And we push back hard on the cruel, idiotic noise that keeps trying to turn their trauma into “evidence.” Bryan Kohberger is guilty. He's in prison. These women lived through hell. Let's treat them like it.

Costco, Coffee, and Cold Blood: Kohberger's Post-Crime Behavior Decoded By FBI Let's talk about what Bryan Kohberger did just hours after slaughtering four students in their sleep:  He went shopping. Calm. Casual. Coffee aisle. Grocery store. Like it was any other day. In this segment, I'm joined by retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to break down the now-infamous Costco/grocery store footage showing Kohberger moving through aisles post-massacre. We're not here for shock—we're here for behavior. Because what he does in that video isn't about caffeine. It's about control. It's about how a killer works to look normal while dragging the weight of four bodies behind him. Robin takes us through how investigators read this kind of post-crime public behavior:  – Was he trying to cool off… or cover up?  – What does risk tolerance look like under cameras?  – Why does “acting normal” matter when it's anything but?  – And what does this reveal about how Kohberger planned—or didn't? We also unpack how seemingly meaningless choices—like self-checkout, cart behavior, aisle time, or eye contact—can become behavioral data points when layered with phone records, receipts, and surveillance clocks. Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty. He's in prison for life.  But what he did in that store—how he carried himself—still tells us who he really is.

Fresh Breaks in the D4vd : Celeste Rivas Case & What We Hear in the Kohberger Tapes 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was missing for 17 months. Then her body was found wrapped in plastic inside a Tesla registered to music artist D4vd, abandoned in the Hollywood Hills. Bryan Kohberger stabbed four students to death—then calmly walked into Costco hours later, shopping like nothing happened. These are two of the most disturbing cases in recent memory. And in this full episode of Hidden Killers, I sit down with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to analyze the behavior that reveals what's really going on beneath the surface. We cover:

BIG BREAKDOWN - Bryan Kohberger's Pathetic INSECURITIES Exposed New revelations are pulling back the curtain on Bryan Kohberger's life immediately after the Idaho student murders, and they raise disturbing questions about how this case may be understood. The night after the killings, Kohberger's mother sent him a news article detailing the horrific injuries of victim Zana Kernodle — including bruises that showed she fought back. Was it a mother simply sharing a local crime story with her son? Or, knowing what we know now, was there something darker in the tone of those conversations? Investigators and analysts are asking whether Kohberger and his mother spoke in coded ways about the crimes, with his obsession shifting between gruesome details and a “sweet girl at the coffee shop” — eerily similar to the barista he allegedly made uncomfortable by stalking her. But that's not all. Newly released images from Kohberger's apartment offer a rare look inside his private world. Far from the clutter of a normal graduate student, his space was stripped down to bare walls, minimal belongings, and an almost sterile environment. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down what that could mean: Was it evidence of a personality detached from normal human connection, or a deliberate “scrubbing” to hide traces of blood and evidence — just like how investigators said he dismantled his car after the murders? Perhaps most startling: investigators discovered a prescription in his apartment for levothyroxine, a thyroid medication. While commonly used and safe for millions, in the context of Kohberger's other self-reported conditions — autism spectrum, OCD, ADHD, ARFID — it raises questions about whether he was properly medicated, mismedicated, or even taking it at all. Could untreated or poorly managed health conditions have fed into his volatile state of mind? From his mother's unsettling messages to the sterile emptiness of his apartment, each new detail deepens the puzzle of Bryan Kohberger. Was this careful planning, psychological unraveling, or both?

Big Breakdown - How Many People Was Bryan Kohberger Stalking? This episode of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels dives deep into one of the most unsettling new drops in the Brian Kohberger case — hundreds of images pulled from his phone, including bizarre selfies that paint a disturbing picture of the accused Idaho student killer's state of mind. From mirror shots in his bathroom to unsettling poses with strange “codes” written on scraps of paper, the photos raise serious questions. Was Kohberger documenting himself for vanity, or leaving cryptic clues tied to the murders of four University of Idaho students? Viewers will see images that range from awkward, almost staged modeling attempts to chillingly deliberate shots that seem to hint at hidden meaning. But it doesn't stop there. Newly obtained reports detail how Kohberger allegedly stalked women at Washington State University long before the murders — knocking on windows, watching them through doors, even following them to their homes. His behavior pushed boundaries of fear and control, blurring the line between creepy intrusions and escalating predatory patterns. Tony, Stacy, and Todd dissect the evidence in real time: Was this narcissism? A ritual? Or another way Kohberger fed his obsession with power and control? The team also asks the bigger question — why do red flags like this so often get ignored? From the lack of follow-up on stalking reports to the way predators slip through cracks in schools and workplaces, the conversation turns toward the systemic failures that allow these warning signs to fester until it's too late. This is not just about photos. It's about the psychology behind them, the danger of dismissing “creepy” behavior, and what society can do when the next Brian Kohberger starts showing the signs.

BIG BREAKDOWN - Why Did Bryan Kohberger Do It? In one of the most haunting true crime cases of our time, the question still hangs heavy: Why did Bryan Kohberger do it? In this Big Breakdown, Tony Brueski and the Hidden Killers team explore the possible motives, psychological profiles, and investigative revelations surrounding the Idaho student murders. Drawing from court filings, expert commentary, and newly surfaced details, we examine the theories about Kohberger's state of mind. Was it obsession? A need for control? A violent compulsion? Or some combination of all of the above? While the evidence against him points to planning and methodical behavior, the bigger question is why — what inner drive could push someone from thought to action in such a brutal way? This breakdown doesn't speculate wildly — it digs into what's documented and what experts say about criminal psychology, Kohberger's academic writings, and his online behavior. By connecting the dots between his past struggles, his studies in criminology, and his alleged actions, we ask the question that matters most: what led Bryan Kohberger from theory to practice, from fascination to murder?

Big Breakdown - A New Look At Kohberger's Selfies & Home In this Big Breakdown, Tony Brueski takes you inside the chilling details of the newly released photos from Bryan Kohberger's personal life — the selfies, the snapshots, and the eerie images from inside his home and office. These visuals, pulled from official sources, are more than just random pictures: they provide a disturbing window into the private world of the man accused of murdering four University of Idaho students. We explore how investigators catalogued and analyzed these images, what they reveal about Kohberger's personality and obsessions, and how they fit into the larger case against him. From his carefully curated online presence to the stark, unsettling emptiness of his living spaces, each photo adds another layer to understanding who Bryan Kohberger was before the night of the killings. Are these pictures simply benign glimpses of everyday life, or do they expose something deeper, more sinister about his psychology? In this episode, we break down what the selfies and surroundings suggest — and why prosecutors may use them to strengthen their narrative at trial.

Bryan Kohberger Case: FBI Veteran Reacts to Bethany Funke's Trauma Breaking updates in the Bryan Kohberger case continue to surface nearly three years after the horrific Idaho Four murders. Newly released footage of surviving roommate Bethany Funke's FBI interview offers an emotional and revealing look inside one of the case's most critical witness statements. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, host of Break the Case, gives a powerful analysis of the interview style, Bethany's demeanor, and what this testimony means for the larger investigation. Bethany Funke, who lived at 1122 King Road on the night her roommates were brutally murdered, is seen crying throughout the interview—her voice trembling, her body language withdrawn, her trauma unmistakable. Coffindaffer notes how essential first impressions are in an interview: Bethany appeared terrified yet truthful, showing the hallmarks of someone recounting trauma, not deception. She emphasizes that while Bethany has faced online shaming and baseless blame, the reality is that it is a miracle she survived that night at all. Coffindaffer critiques the FBI process, pointing out the absence of a female agent in the room, the lack of a second interviewer, and the failure to obtain written consent before reviewing Bethany's phone. Yet she praises the interviewer's calm, empathetic approach, describing him as organized, compassionate, and effective in drawing out crucial details without intimidation. The interview's focus on Bethany's phone, social media, and timeline was intentional: investigators needed her cooperation and her sequence of events to determine who could be cleared. Bethany's account ultimately provided her with a strong alibi and solidified investigators' belief that she was not involved in the crime. This newly surfaced material is a stark reminder of the human toll left behind in the wake of Bryan Kohberger's alleged crimes. It also underscores the importance of careful, trauma-informed interviewing in high-profile true crime cases.

Kohberger Exposed: Apartment Photos, “Hidey Hole” Theory & Thyroid Rx Reveal  This complete segment pulls together the newly released visuals and details surrounding Bryan Kohberger—from the stark images of his apartment to a prescription bottle that has ignited fresh debate. We start inside the living space: bare walls, stripped shelves, missing shower curtain, abundant cleaning supplies, and documented blood traces and handprints. With retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, Tony Brueski considers whether the minimalism was style—or a deliberate post-crime scrub-down akin to the reported disassembly and cleaning of Kohberger's vehicle. The conversation stays grounded in what the photos actually show while acknowledging the investigative inferences professionals weigh during a major true crime case. Academic files and graded essays appear routine to a criminology-trained eye, but the personal artifacts stand out—most notably the birthday cards dated just after the murders, including a card from Kohberger's mother that frames him as both the formal academic and the uncontrolled force. Those notes, combined with a self-congratulatory selfie and tight birthday timing, help sketch a portrait of self-image and ritualized thinking without veering into speculation. The segment then addresses the most debated non-paper item: bear spray. Coffindaffer lays out a theory many analysts have floated—the idea of a remote cache or “hidey hole” containing indicia of the crime (garments, knife, reminders), with bear spray serving as practical protection for return trips into wooded areas. The discussion references circuitous travel routes, a shovel with “dirt” comparisons, and why investigators map movements against potential stash sites. The final act is the levothyroxine (thyroxine) prescription seen in the apartment. No one suggests the drug causes violence; millions take it safely. The point is evidentiary: it's notable that a routine thyroid medication is present while other prescriptions one might expect—given public claims of ASD, OCD, ADHD, and ARFID—were not documented in this search. That absence raises procedural questions for both sides: who prescribed the thyroid med, for how long, was he adherent, did he travel with a second bottle, and what—if anything—was in his “go bag”? Coffindaffer explains why defense teams probe medication timelines, how adherence can affect energy and appetite, and why establishing what was (and wasn't) in his possession matters for narrative and strategy. Presented in a serious, cinematic true crime news style, this is a comprehensive, fact-forward recap designed to keep you fully informed without sensationalism.

Big Breakdown - Kohberger's Bad MONTH In Prison EXPOSED It's been a brutal month behind bars for Bryan Kohberger—and the cracks are starting to show. In this Big Breakdown, we look at reports of paranoia, weight loss, eerie silence, and obsessive pacing in his cell. He's isolated, under constant watch, and sources say his mental state is slipping fast. Is the pressure of trial breaking him down—or was he already unraveling?  We dig into his behavior, jailhouse sources, and what experts say could come next.  Drop your thoughts in the comments—do YOU think he's losing it?

Why Do People Still Defend Kohberger? + FBI Apartment Breakdown In this extended final segment, the hosts wrap up their raw live discussion on Kohberger before handing the mic to retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer for a chilling deep dive. First, Tony, Stacy, and Todd tackle the culture of Kohberger defenders — people still making excuses online, ignoring mountains of evidence. Tony unleashes on the dangers of sympathy for predators, questioning what it says about those defending him. The group ties this into numerology theories — how Kohberger may have chosen dates, addresses, and timing as part of a narcissistic “signature.” Then, Jennifer Coffindaffer joins to unpack newly released photos from Kohberger's apartment and office. What investigators found was disturbing: stripped walls, minimalist spaces, cleaning supplies, birthday cards, blood traces, and even bear spray. Coffindaffer outlines her “hidey hole” theory — that Kohberger stashed the knife and clothing in secluded areas, similar to Ted Bundy revisiting crime scene trophies. The result is a gripping combination of live banter and expert analysis, tying together narcissism, numerology, forensic details, and FBI insight into what might still be hidden out there.

Numerology & Murder: Did Kohberger Choose His Victims By the Numbers? This segment of Hidden Killers Live starts with Stacy sharing her own journey into self-defense — how awareness and training changed the way she navigates daily life. From carrying knives to situational awareness in parking lots, the conversation expands into why women often feel safer facing a bear than a man. It's a mix of gallows humor (flamethrowers, swords, even the cats at home) and hard truths about living in a world where predators thrive on people being passive. But the discussion doesn't stop at self-protection. The team ties Kohberger's creepy behaviors into the chilling numerology surrounding the Idaho murders. Why did the killings happen at 1122 King Road? Was the date — 11/13/22 — chosen as a “gift” to himself, aligning with his own November birthday? Was this simply coincidence, or part of a larger fixation with numbers and patterns? The conversation blends real safety talk with forensic curiosity, pulling listeners into the disturbing possibilities of how far Kohberger's obsession and narcissism might have gone.

Kohberger's Medication Exposed: RET FBI Breaks Down New Levothyroxine Finding In this segment, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer unpack a newly spotted detail from the released apartment photos: a prescription bearing Bryan Kohberger's name associated with levothyroxine (thyroxine), a common thyroid medication. The discussion is not medical advice and does not suggest the drug causes violence; millions take thyroid medication safely. Instead, the focus is investigative: what does finding a specific prescription mean inside a suspect's residence—and what does the absence of other expected prescriptions suggest? Coffindaffer explains why investigators always check the medicine cabinet and nightstand: prescriptions can inform timelines, potential defense arguments, and medical histories that may surface in court. Here, the standout is twofold. First, the presence of a routine thyroid medication rather than prescriptions matching publicly discussed self-diagnoses (e.g., autism spectrum, OCD, ADHD, ARFID). Second, the many unanswered questions: Who prescribed it? For how long? Was Kohberger adherent? Did he travel with a second bottle to Pennsylvania? Was dosing stable, recent, or lapsed? Tony raises a broader criminal-procedure point: medications can become narrative tools at trial, as history has shown with “diet,” “sleep,” or other drugs being argued as mitigating or aggravating context. Coffindaffer notes levothyroxine is not that kind of high-risk medication and cautions against drawing dramatic conclusions. Still, in true crime reporting, documenting what exists—and what doesn't—is crucial. If other psychiatric prescriptions were anticipated based on filings or claims but were not present in the apartment search, that delta becomes an evidentiary question, not a conclusion. The segment also considers practical adherence issues: how people sometimes stop daily meds they deem “non-urgent,” how thyroid imbalance can affect energy or appetite, and why establishing what was in a “go bag” matters for timeline reconstruction. Presented in a professional, cinematic news style, this is a careful, fact-driven look at a detail likely to recur in legal analysis and public debate around the case.

Kohberger's Creepy Codes: What Do His Flight Numbers Really Mean? Bryan Kohberger didn't just take selfies — he also documented himself holding cryptic handwritten notes. His name scribbled like a child's, paired with random dates and what appear to be flight or ticket numbers. Why would a suspected killer do this? Was he cataloging his movements? Leaving clues? Or simply playing a strange psychological game with himself? In this segment, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels break down the bizarre paper notes, asking whether they were trophies, evidence markers, or meaningless obsessions. The conversation then pivots to a devastating new set of reports: women who say Kohberger stalked them at Washington State University. Accounts include him showing up outside homes, knocking on windows, lingering at porches, and repeatedly inserting himself into women's lives despite clear rejection. One woman even described seeing his infamous white Hyundai Elantra pulling away after one of these encounters. The hosts tie these behaviors together — the coded notes, the narcissistic selfies, the stalking — and highlight how red flags were flashing long before the Idaho murders. Yet the system failed to stop him. What emerges is a chilling portrait of escalation: a man practicing control, intimidation, and violation before allegedly unleashing violence.

Bryan Kohberger's Creepiest Selfies: What They Reveal About His Narcissism  In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels take a deep dive into one of the most unsettling pieces of evidence to come out of the Bryan Kohberger case — his massive collection of bizarre selfies. These aren't casual snapshots. They're obsessive, awkward, often disturbing bathroom mirror shots that reveal a man far more obsessed with his image than anyone previously imagined. The panel reacts to Kohberger's poses, his earbuds, his emaciated body, the infamous “Levi's with no ass” photos, and his unsettling attempts at smiles and stares. Is this simple vanity? Or is it something darker — narcissism bleeding into pathology? As Tony, Stacy, and Todd riff on the strange details, they point out how these photos may reflect Kohberger's need for validation, his disconnect from reality, and his growing obsession with himself during the same period he was allegedly planning and carrying out horrific crimes. What's revealed here is not just creepy — it's potentially critical to understanding his mindset. This segment mixes sharp banter with chilling analysis — a perfect entry point into the disturbing world of Kohberger's phone.

Bryan Kohberger's Disturbing Selfies + The Tragic Case of Baby Emmanuel Haro | Hidden Killers Live In this Hidden Killers Live 2-hour special, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels dive into two of the most disturbing true crime stories dominating headlines today: the latest revelations about Bryan Kohberger and the tragic death of baby Emmanuel Haro. The first half of the show zeroes in on Kohberger, the man accused of murdering four University of Idaho students. Newly released photos from his phone reveal a disturbing obsession with himself: endless bathroom selfies, awkward poses, emaciated body shots, and cryptic handwritten notes with dates and codes. The team reacts in real time — dissecting what these images say about Kohberger's narcissism, his need for control, and his possible fixation with numerology. They also explore new reports of Kohberger stalking women at Washington State University — tapping on windows, lurking outside homes, and driving away in his infamous white Elantra. The panel doesn't hold back: they debate predator culture, women's self-defense, how society minimizes red flags until it's too late, and why some people online are still bizarrely defending Kohberger. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer then joins to break down photos from Kohberger's apartment and office, exposing chilling details like stripped walls, blood traces, cleaning supplies, and bear spray — all pointing to a man meticulously trying to erase evidence while hiding his darkest secrets. In the second half, the show shifts to the devastating case of 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro, allegedly killed by his father Jake — a man who had already been convicted of nearly killing another infant yet was allowed to walk free on probation. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins to analyze how America's child protection system repeatedly fails. The discussion unpacks everything from unqualified judges and underfunded CPS agencies, to the dangerous myth of “positive thinking” and assuming abusive parents can magically reform. The team digs into trauma bonds, why partners like Rebecca Haro stand by violent abusers, and how “low risk” labels and compliance checklists allow predators to slip through. Shavaun shares a haunting story from her own career — a child she warned was unsafe who was later killed after the court ignored expert testimony. This raw, unfiltered 2-hour show is part true crime breakdown, part systemic critique, and part call to action. It exposes not only the disturbing psychology of killers like Kohberger and Haro, but also the structural failures that keep enabling them.

Bryan Kohberger's Warning Signs Were OFF THE CHARTS & IGNORED! Before four innocent lives were lost in Idaho, the warning signs were everywhere—and no one acted. In this Big Breakdown, we dissect the red flags in Bryan Kohberger's behavior that were screaming for attention, from his disturbing online posts to academic essays that now read like confessions. How did a man this unstable make it through criminology programs, social circles, and daily life without anyone connecting the dots? We'll explore his obsessive tendencies, his controlling behaviors, his socially isolated worldview, and the moments where intervention could have happened—but didn't. This isn't about making excuses. It's about accountability. Because ignoring patterns has a cost, and in this case, the cost was catastrophic.  We break down the behavioral profile, public records, and new revelations about Kohberger's past.  Drop your thoughts in the comments—what red flags did YOU see in hindsight?

Kohberger's Apartment EXPOSED! What Investigators Found Behind Closed Doors! This full Hidden Killers episode combines two threads that, together, draw a sharper map of Bryan Kohberger: the newly released Idaho State Police photo set (over 500 images of his WSU apartment and Hyundai Elantra) and a cluster of micro-encounters that include a Pullman hotel desk blow-up followed by a sudden charm pivot and a next-day conversation about knives and sheaths. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer separate what's probative from what's just provocative—no sensationalism, no graphic detours. Part One tackles the visuals: bagged hairs, stained bedding, bare walls, a vehicle processed to the seams. The key insight is priority. The spaces where scrutiny was likely (bedroom, bathroom, living room, vehicle touchpoints) read as managed, while peripheral areas look neglected. That split suggests a posture—tidy when it mattered, indifferent when it didn't—more than a true “organized” personality. We explore how investigators work photo sets like this, what they can responsibly infer, and where the public often over-reads. Part Two looks at the human layer: anger-to-charm at a hotel desk, casual weapon talk in a hallway, neighbors unsettled by window taps, colleagues noting boundary issues. None of these moments is decisive alone. Together, they map impression management, fixation, and testing—the small moves people remember when they can't shake the feeling something was off. We discuss how communities should handle soft warnings: document patterns, report within the right channels, and raise the cost of escalation without turning odd behavior into guaranteed prophecy. If you want a clear, responsible read on what the latest releases actually add to the public record, this episode keeps the focus where it belongs: method, pattern, ethics, and lessons that endure.

EXCLUSIVE: Bryan Kohberger's Meds EXPOSED: Levothyroxine And How It Interacts With Autism-1, OCD, ADHD, ARFID 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.

Kohberger's Hotel Desk Meltdown Exposed Obsessions With Knives Some moments don't become exhibits, but they do become explanations. In this cut of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examine a cluster of late-surfacing interactions tied to Bryan Kohberger: a Pullman hotel desk confrontation over a billing error that switched—almost instantly—into charm and small talk, followed by a hallway conversation about knives and sheaths the next day. Add neighbors who recall tapping on windows and campus reports that flagged boundary-crossing behavior, and you get a picture of social control plays—testing, calibrating, seeing what people will tolerate. We unpack why hot-cold shifts matter in offender assessment; how casual “weapon talk” in intimate or dim settings reads as preoccupation rather than personality; and what professionals look for to tell bravado from behavioral red flags. We also tackle the community question: what do we do with soft warnings? Creepy isn't a crime, but patterns can be documented. Jennifer explains how to record, report, and escalate concerns in ways that respect due process while preventing patterns from hiding in plain sight. This isn't about rewriting facts after the outcome; it's about literacy—helping the public distinguish awkward from coercive, charm from manipulation, edgy from alarming. Individually, none of these anecdotes is decisive. Together, they trace an arc: grievance, impression management, and obsession leaking into everyday encounters. If you've ever wondered whether those “weird little moments” matter, this conversation shows how they inform the long-term record—responsibly, without sensationalism.
