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. #BryanKohberger #TrueCrime #BobMotta #RobinDreeke #IdahoMurders #ForensicEvidence #KohbergerTrial #IncelIdeology #MentalHealthDefense #KnifeSheathDNA Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Will the Science Prove Karen Read's Innocence? Attorney Bob Motta Thinks So In the premiere segment, Tony Brueski and Bob Motta cut straight to the most decisive element of the Karen Read case: the forensic evidence. According to Motta, this case isn't about drama, hearsay, or even Karen Read's bizarre behavior. It's about whether the physical evidence proves she hit John O'Keefe with her Lexus — and right now, the science says she didn't. Motta places his trust in independent experts — specifically the ARCCA engineers hired by the Department of Justice, who testified that the damage to the Lexus and the injuries to O'Keefe do not match a typical vehicle-pedestrian strike. In other words, no broken bones, no directional wounds, no blood patterns to suggest a hit-and-run. And this testimony, unlike Proctor's or McCabe's, doesn't change. It's science. Tony counters with a key question: what happens if new vehicle data does emerge — like black box logs or OnStar records — that shows a collision at the time of death? Motta admits that would be damning. But he's not holding his breath. If prosecutors had a “smoking gun” like that, he says, they'd have led with it. This episode explores the growing tension between Karen Read's self-incriminating statements and the cold, hard science that seems to contradict them. It's the ultimate courtroom clash: Karen's words vs. the data.

Will The Jury Understand Michael Proctor's Disdain for Karen Read This Time? Michael Proctor may not be on the prosecution's witness list, but his presence looms large over the Karen Read trial. In this episode, Bob Motta and Tony Brueski analyze the explosive text messages, the professional fallout, and the deep personal contempt Proctor seemed to harbor for Karen Read. The big question: will jurors see his bias for what it is — or will they relate to it? Tony makes a controversial but intriguing point: if the prosecution has already made Karen Read look like a highly unlikable person, then Proctor's attitude may feel relatable to the jury. They may not like how he said it — but they might get why he said it. Motta pushes back, arguing that Proctor is a textbook example of tunnel vision, and that his venomous language (“That bitch is going down”) reflects not passion for justice but prejudice. More importantly, his bias infected the investigation from day one. The two go deep on what it means to be a “hired gun,” how Proctor's credibility was destroyed in the first trial, and why the prosecution would rather let the defense call him than risk their own case imploding. This episode is a masterclass in understanding law enforcement bias, jury psychology, and how a single investigator's ego might jeopardize an entire murder conviction.

Why Did The Alberts Stay Inside While Police Swarmed Their Yard? What would you do if police and paramedics were investigating a possible death just feet from your front door? That's the question Tony Brueski poses as he and Bob Motta explore one of the most baffling parts of the Karen Read case: the silence from the Albert household on the morning of John O'Keefe's death. Despite the chaos unfolding in their front yard — with Read sobbing, paramedics arriving, and police combing for clues — not one person from inside the house came out. Why? Were they asleep? Unaware? Or was it something else? Motta doesn't make accusations — but he does point to how wildly out of the norm this is for police culture. These weren't just civilians inside — these were cops and first responders. If someone collapses in your yard, especially someone you know, you go outside. You check. You help. Unless you're trying to stay hidden. Tony challenges this by acknowledging that weird behavior doesn't prove guilt — but both men agree: the optics are terrible. They also discuss how the lack of initial investigation into the house compounds the problem. The cops didn't go in. They didn't ask to. And now the jury has to make sense of that silence — both literal and investigative. If the prosecution's theory is that Karen dropped John off and drove away, then why didn't anyone in the house see him? Or respond when he was discovered freezing and bleeding out in the yard? This episode dissects the psychological, procedural, and legal ramifications of inaction.

Will A Sloppy Investigation Set Karen Read Free? Bob Motta Talks Tony Brueski and Bob Motta tackle the elephant in the courtroom: the sloppy, questionable, and arguably negligent police investigation into the death of John O'Keefe. From the inexplicable failure to request a consent search of the Albert residence — where O'Keefe was allegedly dropped off — to the mishandling of key evidence like clotted blood in Solo cups and a fragmented taillight that appeared only after Proctor revisited the scene, Motta argues that this case is riddled with procedural red flags. Motta explains the legal strategy at play — invoking the Bowden defense — which allows the defense to argue that reasonable doubt stems not from what the state proved, but from what they failed to investigate. If you're prosecuting Karen Read but never checked inside the house she claims O'Keefe entered, did you really do your job? The trial, Motta says, doesn't hinge only on what happened, but on what the government didn't bother to find out. Tony plays devil's advocate, raising the issue of practical challenges like a blizzard burying the crime scene — but Motta maintains: if Proctor hadn't tunnel-visioned on Karen Read from day one, better decisions would've followed. The system didn't just fail Karen Read — it failed John O'Keefe too. This episode breaks down the difference between proving innocence and exposing investigative incompetence — and why the latter just might be enough for a not guilty verdict.

Will Karen Read's Multiple Stories Send Her To Prison? Bob Motta Weighs In In this gripping breakdown from Hidden Killers, host Tony Brueski and veteran defense attorney Bob Motta dive deep into one of the most damaging elements in the Karen Read trial: her own ever-changing story. Across months of interviews, voicemails, and secondhand accounts, Karen Read has made conflicting statements about the last time she saw her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe. From claiming she saw him go into the house, to saying he was in the general vicinity of the curb, to suggesting she might have clipped him with her car — the versions are endless. Motta takes a nuanced approach, explaining how defense attorneys have to carefully navigate these inconsistencies. Do they try to explain them away? Or do they lean into them as signs of trauma and confusion from a woman who doesn't actually remember what happened? Tony, however, takes a more psychological view — arguing that Read's constant shifting might not stem from confusion, but from manipulation and a fear of losing her image. They debate whether jurors, as emotional and flawed humans, can separate confusing testimony from actual guilt — and whether someone who acts like they have “consciousness of guilt” is more likely to be convicted even if there's no clear proof of intent. Is Karen Read lying to save herself? Or is she a blackout witness to her own worst night? This episode sets the tone for the entire discussion around narrative control, narcissistic traits, and what happens when your own mouth becomes your worst enemy in a murder trial.

Karen Read Knew Where He Was Before Anyone Else – Why? What if you found a man dead in a front yard—but no one else saw him, not even the people who had just left the house minutes before? In the case of Karen Read, that's exactly what happened. Prosecutors argue she struck John O'Keefe with her SUV, but questions are piling up. How did she know where his body was if no one else saw it? Why did tail light fragments show up 16 feet into the yard? Could evidence have been planted? And how does the weather that night poke holes in the official timeline? In this chilling breakdown with criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries, we dissect the contradictions, the forensic gaps, and the bizarre witness testimony that could flip this entire case on its head. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #DefenseDiaries #BobMotta #HiddenKillersPodcast #truecrimepodcast #MassachusettsMurder #forensicanalysis #criminaldefense #legalmystery Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Should Karen Read Testify? The Legal Gamble That Could Decide Everything What happens when your own medical examiner won't call it a homicide—and the key witness once lied to the feds? In this gripping analysis of the Karen Read trial, defense attorney Bob Motta (host of Defense Diaries) lays out why the Commonwealth may be facing an uphill battle. From missing taillight evidence and a body found in the snow, to tangled relationships between cops and witnesses inside the house, this conversation dissects the most controversial elements of the case. Is the defense taking on too much with theories they can't prove? Or is the real story even darker than it seems? You'll hear why the defense might have no choice but to put Karen Reed on the stand—and what that means for the outcome.

Can the Defense Recover? Bob Motta on the Risks of Karen Read's Trial Strategy The prosecution in the Karen Read trial has changed course—and it's turning heads. Defense Attorney Bob Motta joins to break down what's happening inside the courtroom. From the courtroom strategy shift led by ADA Brennan to the forensic breakdown of cell phone data by Ian Whiffin, this episode dives deep into the prosecution's evolving case and why it's suddenly more effective. Is Celebrite's software really more accurate than Magnet, or is it all a matter of interpretation? And why did the prosecution drop the “pre-buttle” approach? Motta also explains why he believes the infamous 2:27am “how long to die in cold” search may be a legal dead end, despite how gripping it sounds. If you're following this trial, the details revealed here are absolutely essential. #KarenRead #BobMotta #DefenseDiaries #HiddenKillersPodcast #TonyBruski #CantonCoverUp #IanWhiffin #Cellbrite #ForensicTestimony #TrueCrime2025 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Is Lori Vallow Mentally Ill or Legally Responsible? Motta Dissects the Case What if one of America's most infamous convicted killers got a second chance to defend herself—and actually did a halfway decent job? In Lori Vallow Daybell's Arizona trial, the once-apocalyptic mom ditched the theatrics and came surprisingly prepared. No doomsday visions. No courtroom outbursts. Just a self-represented defendant who, shockingly, managed to land a few arguments. Defense attorney Bob Motta joins to dissect Lori's unexpected legal performance, the prosecution's late-inning rally, and the judge's tightrope walk between patience and control. Why did this seven-day trial feel like it could have gone either way? What role did circumstantial evidence—and the things the jury didn't hear—really play? And how close did Lori come to walking free? This isn't just another chapter in a bizarre case—it's a rare look at what happens when justice, ego, and strategy collide in real time. #LoriVallowDaybell #LoriVallowTrial #BobMotta #DefenseDiaries #HiddenKillersPodcast #TrueCrimeToday #ArizonaTrial #SelfRepresentation #TrueCrimePodcast #LDSMurderTrial Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Defense Attorney Bob Motta on Karen Read: A Case Built on Flawed Evidence Why did Karen Read's defense drop the rage-filled voicemail theory? What did Brennan do differently this time—and could it mean the prosecution is aiming for something far less than second-degree murder? In this explosive breakdown, criminal defense attorney Bob Motta (host of the podcast Defense Diaries) joins Tony Brueski to dissect the trial's opening moves. From radically different strategies to new forensic angles and mysterious eyewitnesses, Motta reveals how both sides are rewriting the case—and how the jury might be swayed not by emotion, but by science. This episode dives deep into the unsettling possibility that even Karen doesn't remember what really happened that night. And if the defense leans into that blackout… could it actually work? Listen in for the legal nuance, conflicting narratives, and the growing tension that might force Karen Reed to take the stand. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #DefenseDiaries #BobMotta #TrueCrimePodcast #KarenReadTrial #BostonCrime #HiddenKillers #CourtroomDrama #LegalBreakdown Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What the Jury Didn't See: Bob Motta on the Karen Read Trial's Missing Pieces What if the evidence doesn't match the story either side is telling? Defense Attorney Bob Motta breaks down the first major moments of the Karen Read trial—and he's not holding back. Why did the prosecution suddenly drop the idea this was an intentional act? What does new DNA on a shoe mean for the defense? And is Jackson's opening too bold to back up? Motta walks us through openings that shocked court watchers, the weight of big promises made in front of a jury, and the strange contradictions in the case—from voicemail rage to claims of indifference. Could Karen Read really take the stand? And are the injuries to John O'Keefe even consistent with being hit by a car?

Karen Read's Words Will Come Back To Haunt Her In New Trial, Attorney Bob Motta Explains How What happens when your own words might be the thing that buries you in court? As the sequel to Karen Read's trial heats up, Defense Attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to dive into the mess of interviews, inconsistent statements, and a tsunami of alleged lack-of-empathy moments that could shift the jury's mood from curious to convicted. We're talking about a case where the evidence might not scream “murder,” but the personality on display just might whisper it over cocktails. Karen's public commentary is set to become courtroom content, and while it doesn't prove she allegedly killed John O'Keefe, it definitely doesn't win her any popularity contests. The problem? Her own narrative shapeshifts more than a soap opera plotline. One moment she dropped him off, the next he walked into the house, or maybe he didn't. Karen's version of events bends to fit the vibe of the day, and the court might not be feeling flexible. As her defense team braces for an onslaught of interview clips, the bigger question looms: Will she be forced to testify just to clean up her own mess? Is this really a murder case—or a masterclass in how to self-destruct in public? #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrimePodcast #DefenseDiaries #HiddenKillers #CourtroomDrama #TrialTwist Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Dog Bites & Vehicle Strike, Are EITHER True In The Trial Of Karen Read? Bob Motta Discusses Could a dog really be the key to cracking the mystery of John O'Keefe's death? Tony Brueski and Defense Attorney Bob Motta take a deep dive into the bizarre injury patterns found on John's arms and what may have caused them—plastic shards from a shattered tail light? A misstep in the snow? Or maybe even the family dog? From plows hurling debris like confetti at a murder scene to coyotes allegedly dragging bodies around like chew toys, this episode doesn't hold back on wild (yet strangely plausible) theories. The guys also question why an expert would confidently call scratches "bite marks" without even comparing them to the dog's actual teeth. Let's just say, when a defense attorney is citing backyard sticks, slippery snow, and a little too much booze as more believable than the prosecution's case… you know it's going to be a ride.

Dog Bites & Vehicle Strike, Are EITHER True In The Trial Of Karen Read? Bob Motta Discusses Could a dog really be the key to cracking the mystery of John O'Keefe's death? Tony Brueski and Defense Attorney Bob Motta take a deep dive into the bizarre injury patterns found on John's arms and what may have caused them—plastic shards from a shattered tail light? A misstep in the snow? Or maybe even the family dog? From plows hurling debris like confetti at a murder scene to coyotes allegedly dragging bodies around like chew toys, this episode doesn't hold back on wild (yet strangely plausible) theories. The guys also question why an expert would confidently call scratches "bite marks" without even comparing them to the dog's actual teeth. Let's just say, when a defense attorney is citing backyard sticks, slippery snow, and a little too much booze as more believable than the prosecution's case… you know it's going to be a ride.

How Will A Jury Take Karen Read's Admission Of 'He Didn't Look Mortally Wounded' In New Trial, Attorney Bob Motta Talks Could Karen Read's own words be the thing that seals her fate? The sequel trial is heating up, and this time, the prosecution's bringing receipts—dozens of interview clips featuring Karen Read and her, well... less-than-empathetic takes. Defense Attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to unravel how these new elements could flip the courtroom dynamics. We're talking contradictions galore—from blurry “I don't remember” moments to crystal-clear alternate versions of events that shift like a drunk trying to explain where their phone went last night. And while none of this screams “murderer,” it definitely doesn't scream “jury favorite” either. With Judge Canonne possibly allowing these statements if the defense points fingers again, Read could find herself caught in a trap of her own making—unless she testifies, which could unleash a whole new level of chaos. Can someone really believe in their innocence so hard they talk themselves into trouble? Or is this all part of a larger game of courtroom chess with someone else's life on the line? #KarenRead #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillersPodcast #BobMotta #DefenseDiaries #JohnOKeefe #MurderTrial Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Could Lori Vallow Daybell Be Found NOT GUILTY In The Murder Of Charles Vallow, Attorney Bob Motta Talks What happens when an alleged cult mom decides to play lawyer in a courtroom that's very much real life? Lori Vallow Daybell's trial in Arizona is giving us more plot twists than a soap opera binge—and none of them are good for her. With her green chili enchiladas (allegedly) as underwhelming as her courtroom strategy, Vallow fumbles her way through legal procedures while the prosecution casually rewrites courtroom rules with leading questions galore. Defense attorney Bob Motta joins to unpack this circus, pointing out that while Lori may know the word “quash,” she has no clue how to use it in a way that doesn't quash her own defense. And while the judge is gently waving red flags in front of her—“Are you sure you want to bring up the dead kids?”—Lori seems unfazed, maybe even unaware. Meanwhile, the prosecution is trying to prove conspiracy without actually, you know, proving it. So far, they're just showing the jury that Lori is a narcissist who makes bad life choices... and even worse legal ones. Is the state actually going to prove Lori was part of a conspiracy, or will this whole case crumble under the weight of its own vague texts and courtroom chaos? #LoriVallow #TrueCrimePodcast #BobMotta #HiddenKillers #DefenseDiaries #TrueCrimeToday #CourtroomDrama Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Did Karen Read & Attorneys Play A Role In Witness Intimidation, Attorney Bob Motta's Thoughts Did a rogue blogger cross the line from crusader to co-conspirator in the Karen Read case? Tony Brueski and defense attorney Bob Motta dig into the eyebrow-raising relationship between Karen Read, her defense team, and a particularly vocal online supporter. We're talking daily phone calls, doorstep confrontations, and the kind of “journalism” that feels more mob movie than media ethics. Is it free speech, or just straight-up intimidation with a side of YouTube monetization? Motta unpacks the legal landmines of letting your client run wild in the press and whether encouragement from Read's camp could turn aggressive advocacy into alleged collusion. Add a dash of First Amendment tension, a sprinkle of witness harassment, and you've got yourself a cocktail that's equal parts explosive and unhinged. Will a jury see a zealous supporter—or someone weaponized to do what the defense legally couldn't? #KarenRead #TrueCrimePodcast #FirstAmendment #WitnessIntimidation #BobMotta #LegalAnalysis #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Courts, Confessions & A Crime, Talking Everything Karen Read Pre-Trial With Bob Motta Was Karen Read nearly cleared of murder charges—only to get yanked back into a second trial over a botched verdict form? In this tangled mess of legal technicalities, Tony Brueski and Defense Attorney Bob Motta (host of Defense Diaries) break down the latest chaos in the Karen Read case. From jury deliberations that may or may not have led to an actual decision, to a verdict form missing critical boxes, the defense is now trying to call in the Supreme Court for a legal Hail Mary. But let's be real—SCOTUS probably isn't sweating a local Massachusetts murder trial while juggling national crises. Could double jeopardy be in play here? Maybe. But only if the jurors actually, like, rendered a verdict… and didn't just whisper it backstage. Motta pulls no punches as he questions whether the judge, the attorneys, or everyone else in the courtroom just wanted to clock out early. Now, the big question is: will Karen Read be tried again for something a jury might have already decided she didn't do? What happens when a not-guilty verdict is allegedly reached—but never officially spoken? #KarenRead #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #DefenseDiaries #DoubleJeopardy #MistrialMadness #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Breaking Down The Aimless Arguments Of Lori Vallow Daybell In Court With Bob Motta Did Lori Vallow Daybell really believe she was saving her daughter from danger—or is that just the story she's hoping the jury will buy? The Arizona trial is underway and while the courtroom may not be bursting with fireworks just yet, there's no shortage of bizarre strategy and eyebrow-raising moments. Defense Attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to unpack Lori's awkward attempts at cross-examination, her oddly competent opening statement (complete with the overuse of “the evidence will show”), and her legally risky gamble of possibly testifying. With no living witnesses left to corroborate her narrative, the alleged cult mom might be the only one who can sell the tale of self-defense… but at what cost? They also dissect the prosecution's efforts to avoid deep-diving into the apocalyptic beliefs that fueled Lori's alleged descent, and the strange decision to dodge any “zombie” talk—for now. From missing motives to sketchy video claims, it's clear the jury's in for a twisted journey… but can Lori really pull this off without taking the stand? Is the jury buying any of it? #LoriVallow #LoriVallowDaybell #TrueCrimeToday #CultMomTrial #DefenseDiaries #BobMotta #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
