Was Kohberger Planning Another Attack? Christmas Day Search History Analyzed Christmas Day, 2022 — just weeks after the Idaho murders — Bryan Kohberger sat down and researched more than 20 notorious serial killers. One name stood out: Danny Rolling, the Gainesville Ripper, whose crimes eerily mirrored Kohberger's alleged actions. Rolling used a KA-BAR knife, targeted college students, and entered through sliding doors — chilling parallels to the Idaho case. In this episode, former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke analyzes what this research spree means. Was Kohberger simply feeding a morbid curiosity, or was he conducting a tactical “after-action” review to identify mistakes and improve his methods? Did he believe he'd gotten away with it and could refine his approach for a “next time”? And how do Rolling's own post-crime behaviors — hiding weapons, evading capture — fit into Kohberger's apparent fixation? We also examine the broader context: Kohberger had been stopped twice on the way to Pennsylvania, was wearing gloves and bagging his trash, and knew police were looking for his car. Was this research paranoia-fueled damage control, or a compulsive dive into the crimes of people he hoped to emulate? #BryanKohberger #DannyRolling #Idaho4 #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #SerialKillerResearch #IdahoMurders #BehavioralAnalysis #CriminalMindset Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

“Father, Why Is Mother Not Answering” — Inside Kohberger's Odd Family Texts On the morning of the Idaho student murders, Bryan Kohberger placed a 36-minute call to his mother. Later that same morning, while driving back toward the crime scene, he called her again — this time for nearly an hour. By the end of the day, he'd spent more than three hours on the phone with his parents, addressing them in oddly formal terms: “Mother” and “Father.” In this revealing conversation, former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks down what those calls could mean. Were they simply part of Kohberger's daily routine, or were they a desperate bid for emotional validation after committing an unthinkable crime? Why does his choice of words — “Father, why is Mother not answering?” — sound so detached? And could this be part of a broader pattern where routine phone contact was his emotional safety net, even in the most chaotic moments of his life? We explore the psychology of an accused killer leaning on the one person who might never question him, the role of family routines in maintaining a façade of normalcy, and what wasn't said during those calls. This isn't about demonizing a parent — it's about understanding the behavioral dynamics between a murder suspect and his closest emotional anchor in the hours after the crime. #BryanKohberger #Idaho4 #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #PhoneCall #CriminalPsychology #Mother #IdahoMurders #BehavioralAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

FBI Robin Dreeke Warns That Devil's Den Case Secrecy Could Backfire And HELP Andrew McGann The Andrew McGann case isn't just about one man's alleged crimes — it's about how the justice system handles a case when the stakes are sky-high. In Devil's Den, the arraignment and plea hearings were held behind closed doors. No public. No media. No cameras. In Part 2 of our conversation, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke warns about the dangers of shutting the public out. We talk about how this kind of secrecy can erode community trust, fuel conspiracy theories, contaminate potential jurors, and even put more strain on the victims' families. Drawing parallels to other high-profile cases, Robin explains why transparency — even in small doses — is critical for justice to be both done and seen to be done. If you want to know what happens when the court goes quiet and the rumor mill gets loud, this is the breakdown you need to hear. #DevilsDen #AndrewMcGann #TrueCrime #ArkansasCrime #CourtTransparency #JusticeForTheBrinks #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #PublicTrust #CourtroomDrama Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Devil's Den Murder Case: Inside the Shocking Not Guilty Plea Of Andre McGann In late July 2025, Clinton and Cristen Brink were brutally killed while hiking with their two young daughters in Devil's Den State Park, Arkansas. Police say the man they arrested — Andrew James McGann — confessed to the killings after a four-day manhunt, with DNA and surveillance footage tying him to the scene. And yet, when he faced a judge in a closed-door hearing, McGann pleaded not guilty to two counts of capital murder. Why plead not guilty when the evidence looks overwhelming? In Part 1 of this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks down the strategy behind the plea, the role it plays in a death penalty case, and how the defense could try to challenge the alleged confession. We also explore McGann's past as a teacher, unsettling allegations from his work history, and the possibility that this attack was triggered by a sudden, catastrophic mental break. If you want to understand not just what happened, but why legal teams make these kinds of moves — and how it could shape the entire trial — this is where you start. #DevilsDen #AndrewMcGann #TrueCrime #ArkansasCrime #MurderTrial #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #CourtroomStrategy #DeathPenaltyCase #JusticeForTheBrinks Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Four Disturbing Clues About Bryan Kohberger You Haven't Heard Together Until Now Knife caches. Hidden IDs. Prison pacing. A chilling unsolved break-in. In this Hidden Killers special, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke connects every major thread in the Bryan Kohberger case into one complete behavioral profile. From the missing KA-BAR knife possibly buried in a remote cache, to a suspected “hidey hole” used for storing weapons and trophies, to the unexplained women's ID cards found in his glovebox, and finally, his behavior in custody and possible pre-crime rehearsals — it's all here. The discussion begins with Dreeke's theory that Kohberger may have hidden the KA-BAR months before the murders, drawing on tactics used by killers like Israel Keyes and BTK. It then moves into the broader concept of secret caches and how they fit into offender escalation. Kohberger's history of thefts, suspected break-ins, and suspicious movements before and after the murders give weight to this possibility. The glovebox IDs raise further questions: were they trophies, intimidation tools, or links to other crimes? And Kohberger's nocturnal pacing in prison, combined with an unsolved sorority break-in months earlier, suggests a man who rehearsed, refined, and possibly tested law enforcement response before acting. By combining these clues, Dreeke paints a portrait of an offender driven by ego, control, and a compulsion to emulate the killers he studied. This episode lays out how each piece fits — and what it might reveal about crimes still hidden. #BryanKohberger #Idaho4 #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #FBIProfiler #KABAR #BTK #IsraelKeyes #CrimeNews #IdahoMurders Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

FBI Expert Says New Evidence May Point to Kohberger's Secret Murder Weapon Stash Where is Bryan Kohberger's KA-BAR knife? The sheath was recovered at the Idaho student murders crime scene — complete with DNA linking it to Kohberger — but the blade itself has never been found. Investigators searched his apartment, car, and family home, yet came up empty. Now, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, former head of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, is presenting a chilling theory that could finally explain the mystery. Dreeke believes Kohberger may have hidden the KA-BAR in a remote “cache” — possibly in Wawawai County Park, a place he visited repeatedly before and after the murders. Drawing on patterns from notorious killers like Israel Keyes, BTK, and Robert Hansen, Dreeke explains how offenders often bury weapons and other items in secluded spots they can revisit later. In Kohberger's case, this could mean the KA-BAR was hidden months in advance as part of premeditated planning, then returned to its hiding place after the murders during his unusual southern detour. If true, the missing knife isn't just lost evidence — it's a calculated part of Kohberger's identity. By keeping it hidden but retrievable, he could maintain control, revisit it in his mind, and preserve a tangible connection to his crime. Dreeke outlines four likely hiding spots based on geographic analysis, offender behavior, and Kohberger's known movements. Could the KA-BAR still be buried there? If so, what else might be with it — clothing, trophies, or evidence from other crimes? This conversation explores the tactical, psychological, and investigative layers behind the theory, raising new questions about what Kohberger did before and after that night in November. #BryanKohberger #Idaho4 #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #KABAR #FBIProfiler #IsraelKeyes #BTK #MurderWeapon #CrimeNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Devils Den Attack Police Chaos, Late Alerts, Non-Working Tip Line & Public Outrage How does a double homicide in broad daylight at a popular state park go unannounced to the public for over six hours? In this eye-opening episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to examine the catastrophic early response to the Devil's Den State Park murders. Clinton and Cristen Brink were brutally stabbed while hiking with their daughters, and the public was left completely in the dark. Campers remained at their sites. Families kept hiking. No press conference. No alerts. And when a tip line was finally announced—it didn't even work. Dreeke breaks down why this isn't just a communications breakdown, but a leadership vacuum. From jurisdictional confusion to a total absence of operational readiness, this conversation explores the ripple effect of law enforcement silence: delayed tips, eroded public trust, and a community forced to rely on podcasts instead of police to learn what happened. You'll hear why good departments run rehearsals, how chaos exposes poor leadership, and why failing to control the narrative means losing cooperation that could solve the case. If you want a blueprint for how not to handle a crisis, this is it.

Howard Blum Breaks Down The Latest Kohberger Evidence Since Gag-Order Lift Description: What changed after the gag order was lifted in the Bryan Kohberger case? Plenty — and in this detailed breakdown, Howard Blum walks us through the new pieces of evidence and insight that finally came to light once the court silenced no more. From the disturbing timeline of the Ka-Bar knife purchase to the now-infamous early morning phone call to Kohberger's dad, Blum connects the dots on what each new detail tells us about the suspect's planning, mindset, and potential motive.

Why didn't we get more direct answers about motive, digital footprint, or psychological evaluations?

Howard Blum Breaks Down The Latest Kohberger Evidence Since Gag-Order Lift Description: What changed after the gag order was lifted in the Bryan Kohberger case? Plenty — and in this detailed breakdown, Howard Blum walks us through the new pieces of evidence and insight that finally came to light once the court silenced no more. From the disturbing timeline of the Ka-Bar knife purchase to the now-infamous early morning phone call to Kohberger's dad, Blum connects the dots on what each new detail tells us about the suspect's planning, mindset, and potential motive.

Howard Blum Believes The 'FBI Broke Laws' To Access Kohberger's Genetic Information Did the FBI cross legal boundaries to catch Bryan Kohberger? In this controversial episode, veteran journalist Howard Blum lays out a shocking theory: that federal investigators may have bent or outright broke the law when obtaining Kohberger's genetic information during the manhunt for the Idaho student murders suspect. We take a hard look at how familial DNA and genealogy databases were allegedly used to narrow in on Kohberger — and whether constitutional protections were sidestepped in the process. Are we witnessing the dawn of a new, legally murky era of forensic investigation? Joined by former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, we explore how far law enforcement can (or should) go in pursuit of a suspect — and whether this could open the door to dangerous precedent. Are future cases now vulnerable to being overturned due to investigative overreach? And did prosecutors strike a plea deal because they feared the legality of the evidence might not hold up under scrutiny? This isn't just about Kohberger — it's about your privacy, your DNA, and how rapidly our justice system is changing in the age of genetic surveillance. If you think this case is over, think again. What was done in the shadows to catch Kohberger may have repercussions for years to come. #BryanKohberger #IdahoFour #HowardBlum #FBI #DNAEvidence #GeneticPrivacy #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #ForensicGenealogy #CrimeInvestigation #KohbergerArrest Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ret FBI Counterintelligence Chief Pulls Back The Curtain On The Epstein List Scandal DESCRIPTION: In this unflinching deep dive, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke returns to pull back the curtain on what may be the biggest unresolved scandal in modern justice: the Epstein list, the silence surrounding it, and the calculated choreography behind what the public is—and isn't—allowed to know. From a front-row seat inside federal intelligence operations, Dreeke offers rare insight into how real investigations work when power, politics, and optics collide. He discusses how the government can technically tell the truth while concealing reality, how public trust is manipulated, and how the Epstein investigation became less about justice—and more about survival. This episode doesn't just rehash talking points. It pulls at the operational seams: why the list matters, what the government gains by denying its existence, and what behavioral cues insiders can spot that suggest something deeper is still being hidden. Is it a list? A binder? A network? A liability? Dreeke doesn't just speculate—he lays out what should have happened, what likely did happen, and what it means that we're still talking about Epstein in whispers, not indictments. This one's for the listeners who want clarity, not just controversy. #EpsteinScandal #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #FBIInsider #JeffreyEpstein #GovernmentTransparency #MaxwellTrial #EliteAccountability #TrueCrimePodcast #BehavioralAnalysis #UnsealedTruths #EpsteinList Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Five HUGE WAYS Sandra Birchmore Was Failed by the People Meant to Protect Her Description: Sandra Birchmore thought she was joining something safe—something built to guide and empower her future. What she got was years of grooming, manipulation, and ultimately, death. At 23, Sandra was found dead in her apartment. Initially ruled a suicide, her death was almost swept away as another statistic. But when federal authorities looked deeper, they uncovered something far more disturbing: Sandra had been involved for years with Officer Matthew Farwell—a man twice her age who met her when she was just 13 through the Stoughton Police Explorer Program. Prosecutors now say he strangled her to silence her and staged the scene to look like suicide. In this episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to unpack the five key failures that made this tragedy possible. From negligent oversight and toxic leadership to peer silence and institutional cowardice, we break down how Sandra was abandoned not just by one person—but by a system designed to protect her. Robin outlines how grooming works within trusted institutions, how “mentorship” becomes a mask for abuse, and why departments that prioritize convenience over ethics become complicit. He explains how fear of professional backlash often keeps good officers from speaking up—and why failing to confront one predator often empowers more. This isn't just an indictment of one cop. It's a case study in what happens when leadership fails, accountability collapses, and victims are left to fend for themselves inside a system that should've had their back. Sandra Birchmore didn't fall through the cracks. She was pushed. And in this episode, we show you who pushed her—and how we stop it from happening again. #SandraBirchmore #RobinDreeke #LawEnforcementFailure #TrueCrimePodcast #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #Grooming #InstitutionalNeglect #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #ExplorerProgram 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

Ret. FBI Robin Dreeke on the Culture of Fear That Let Sandra Birchmore's Abuser Operate Freely Description: How does a police officer groom a teenager for years—under supervision—and no one says a word? That's the question at the heart of the Sandra Birchmore case. In 2021, Sandra was found dead. Local authorities quickly called it a suicide. But federal prosecutors now allege that Officer Matthew Farwell, who had been intimately involved with Sandra since her teens, actually murdered her to cover up years of exploitation and control. And yet, the most chilling part of this case isn't just the alleged crime—it's how many people saw something and stayed silent. Fellow officers, supervisors, and department leaders looked the other way as red flags piled up. Some resigned. Others let their certifications quietly expire. No one stepped forward. No one sounded the alarm. In this episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke explains how fear-based culture within law enforcement agencies enables predators like Farwell. Robin breaks down the psychological pressure points: why officers stay quiet, how loyalty morphs into complicity, and how departments learn to rationalize abusive behavior as just another “gray area.” We also explore the psychology of silence—how fear of losing a job, disrupting status quo, or challenging someone in power keeps people quiet. Robin gives powerful insight into what real accountability looks like, what leadership failure feels like on the inside, and why these kinds of cases don't just happen—they're built over time through neglect, denial, and fear. This isn't just about one department. It's about a culture that exists in too many places—and the consequences it leaves behind. #SandraBirchmore #RobinDreeke #PoliceCulture #CultureOfFear #TrueCrimeInvestigation #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #HiddenKillersPodcast #TonyBrueski #SystemicAbuse #GroomingInLawEnforcement

Predators in Uniform – Ret. FBI Robin Dreeke Breaks Down the Sandra Birchmore Case Description: Sandra Birchmore was 23, pregnant, and alone when she was found dead in her Canton, Massachusetts apartment in 2021. Her death was ruled a suicide. That might have been the end of it—until federal investigators got involved. What they uncovered changed everything. Prosecutors now say Sandra was groomed and exploited for years by Stoughton Police Officer Matthew Farwell—who met her when she was just 13 through the department's Explorer Program. Farwell is now federally indicted for her murder. But this case isn't just about one man. It's about a culture that allowed a predator to operate in plain sight, inside a structured, youth-focused law enforcement program, with little oversight and no accountability. In this episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—former Chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—joins us to break down exactly how predators like Farwell use the uniform as camouflage. He explains how authority figures manipulate young victims, how predators test boundaries through secrecy and personalization, and how organizations with rigid hierarchy and internal loyalty often become enablers without realizing it. We talk about Sandra's need for structure, the illusion of safety the Explorer program promised, and how that trust was twisted into a years-long pattern of abuse, isolation, and control. Robin also explores why no one intervened, how grooming often hides behind “mentorship,” and why even well-meaning departments fail to see the warning signs—until it's too late. This is the story of one victim. But it's also a warning for every community. Because when predators wear badges, the danger isn't just what they do—it's who helps them get away with it. #SandraBirchmore #RobinDreeke #PredatorsInUniform #LawEnforcementAbuse #ExplorerProgram #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #HiddenKillersPodcast #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast #InstitutionalFailure 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

This was recorded BEFORE Bryan Kohberger's Plea Deal Crucial Witness or Liability? The Troubled Credibility of Kohberger's DoorDash Driver The Bryan Kohberger murder trial recently introduced a new layer of complexity: the eyewitness testimony of a DoorDash driver, identified only as M.M., who delivered food to one of the victims mere moments before the brutal murders occurred. Initially viewed simply as confirmation of the timeline, this driver's role changed dramatically when new footage surfaced nearly two years after the crime. On police bodycam video from a separate arrest—where she appeared visibly distressed and impaired by prescription medication—she claimed that she saw Bryan Kohberger parked near the crime scene that fateful night. The late timing of this revelation immediately raised significant credibility concerns. Did she initially inform investigators about this critical detail, or is it a new memory influenced by extensive media coverage? Could her documented personal struggles and traumatic background—including witnessing her own husband's murder—enhance juror sympathy, or rather create doubt about her reliability? These critical questions are pivotal for prosecutors and defense alike. In this episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, a specialist in behavioral analysis and witness credibility, examines how jurors typically respond to such complex witness testimony. Robin explains the delicate psychological balance jurors must navigate when confronted with a troubled witness whose emotional vulnerability and trauma could either inspire deep empathy or lead jurors to doubt her accuracy and memory. Robin discusses real-world examples from his extensive career, illustrating how jurors subconsciously process credibility signals—timing, emotional state, consistency of statements—and the psychological dynamics behind their decision-making. With the DoorDash driver potentially playing a central role in reinforcing the prosecution's narrative, Robin outlines the hidden factors jurors weigh beyond what's explicitly stated in court. Join us for this deep dive into the complexities of witness credibility, juror psychology, and the high stakes of courtroom perceptions in one of America's most gripping murder trials.

With the DoorDash driver potentially playing a central role in reinforcing the prosecution's narrative, Robin outlines the hidden factors jurors weigh beyond what's explicitly stated in court. Join us for this deep dive into the complexities of witness credibility, juror psychology, and the high stakes of courtroom perceptions in one of America's most gripping murder trials.

This was recorded BEFORE Bryan Kohberger's Plea Deal Crucial Witness or Liability? The Troubled Credibility of Kohberger's DoorDash Driver The Bryan Kohberger murder trial recently introduced a new layer of complexity: the eyewitness testimony of a DoorDash driver, identified only as M.M., who delivered food to one of the victims mere moments before the brutal murders occurred. Initially viewed simply as confirmation of the timeline, this driver's role changed dramatically when new footage surfaced nearly two years after the crime. On police bodycam video from a separate arrest—where she appeared visibly distressed and impaired by prescription medication—she claimed that she saw Bryan Kohberger parked near the crime scene that fateful night. The late timing of this revelation immediately raised significant credibility concerns. Did she initially inform investigators about this critical detail, or is it a new memory influenced by extensive media coverage? Could her documented personal struggles and traumatic background—including witnessing her own husband's murder—enhance juror sympathy, or rather create doubt about her reliability? These critical questions are pivotal for prosecutors and defense alike. In this episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, a specialist in behavioral analysis and witness credibility, examines how jurors typically respond to such complex witness testimony. Robin explains the delicate psychological balance jurors must navigate when confronted with a troubled witness whose emotional vulnerability and trauma could either inspire deep empathy or lead jurors to doubt her accuracy and memory.

The Hidden Strategy Behind Kohberger's Latest Courtroom Setbacks Explained Bryan Kohberger's murder trial has rapidly evolved into a chess match of legal maneuvering, and recently the defense has seen several high-profile courtroom setbacks. Judge Hippler swiftly and firmly denied motions put forth by Kohberger's lead attorney, Anne Taylor—including attempts to introduce third-party culprits and repeated requests for trial continuances. To casual observers, these repeated denials seem like significant losses for the defense, perhaps even a sign of desperation. But could these apparent setbacks actually represent a more subtle, hidden strategy? In this revealing discussion, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—an expert in behavioral analysis, jury psychology, and credibility assessment—breaks down the deeper reasons behind these seemingly doomed legal moves. Robin explains how the defense's strategy may not necessarily hinge on courtroom victories at this stage, but rather on influencing public perception and indirectly impacting future jurors. By publicly introducing doubt and alternative theories, even when dismissed by the judge, Anne Taylor might be attempting to plant psychological seeds in the minds of potential jurors. Robin draws on his extensive experience analyzing how jurors process information, especially when exposed to media-heavy, emotionally charged cases like this one. Could these seemingly ineffective legal motions actually succeed in subtly swaying jurors, creating doubt long before they enter the courtroom? This critical episode offers listeners unique insights into how modern legal teams use psychological tactics, how subtle messaging can influence juror perspectives, and how losing a courtroom battle doesn't necessarily mean losing the broader war. Robin expertly guides us through understanding the deeper strategic game being played—one that's as much about psychology as it is about law. Prepare to rethink what courtroom victories and defeats truly mean, and why in today's trials, the perception battle may matter just as much as legal arguments.

“Telling Him I Love Him Hurts Him” — Gilgo Killer's Wife, Asa Ellerup's Most Bizarre Statement Yet In this final segment, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke turn their focus toward the most emotionally revealing clips from the Peacock documentary, featuring Asa Ellerup's reaction to her husband Rex Heuermann's arrest—and her increasingly surreal statements in the aftermath. Asa says she doesn't want to tell Rex she loves him… because it would hurt him. She defends him against allegations with unwavering loyalty, declaring “he's a family man,” and insists that he never kept anything from her—even while describing rooms in the house she was never allowed to enter. Robin Dreeke walks us through the psychological mechanisms at play: projection, cognitive dissonance, and denial as a survival strategy. He explains why Asa isn't just refusing to believe the evidence—she's incapable of it. To accept it would be to unravel her entire life, her marriage, and the identity she's built around being the wife of a good man. Dreeke also analyzes Asa's body language, defensive responses, and deeply embedded belief system. He argues that Asa's lack of curiosity—and Rex's understanding of that trait—created a “perfect storm” for secrecy and long-term concealment. We also explore the disturbing reality that forensic evidence linked hair from Asa and her daughter to some of the victims. How does Asa rationalize this? She doesn't. She simply... doesn't ask. As the segment closes, we also address the broader forensic and behavioral implications: Was this family environment intentionally manipulated? And what mistakes may have occurred because no one was asking the hard questions? This isn't just about one woman's denial—it's about the terrifying ease with which predators can operate when no one dares to ask why.

“He Saved Us” — Or Did He? Gilgo Killer's Wife, Asa Ellerup's Love Story Examined by FBI Profiler In Segment 2 of our deep-dive into the Gilgo Beach case, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke turn their focus to the beginning — the origin story of Asa Ellerup and Rex Heuermann's relationship. What started as an act of kindness during Asa's divorce quickly evolved into a lifelong partnership built, perhaps, on imbalance. She was young, vulnerable, in need of support. He was strong, stable, and offered her something she desperately craved: a sense of family and emotional safety. But beneath that surface — according to experts and prosecutors — may have been something else entirely. Robin Dreeke examines the early dynamics of Asa and Rex's bond, including key psychological indicators of emotional grooming, dependency, and how empathy can be weaponized by manipulators. Using real behavioral science and decades of field experience, Dreeke breaks down why Rex may have been drawn to Asa—not out of love, but for how perfectly she fit into the hidden life he needed to maintain. We also explore the concept of “lack of curiosity,” a recurring behavioral trait Dreeke believes allowed Rex to operate in plain sight. This episode dissects key parts of the Peacock documentary that showcase Asa's perspective on her marriage, the home they shared, and the vault of secrets that sat quietly beneath their feet. If you're interested in the psychological mechanisms predators use to stay hidden—and the painful cost to the people closest to them—this segment offers a hauntingly clear window into how it all begins.  Hashtags: #GilgoBeach #AsaEllerup #RexHeuermann #FBIProfiler #TrueCrimePodcast #RobinDreeke #EmotionalGrooming #SerialKillerPsychology #HiddenKillers #PeacockDocumentary 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

10 Signs Alleged Gilgo Beach Killer, Rex Heuermann's Family Missed — Behavioral Analysis from the FBI In this gripping first segment, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—former chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—joins Tony Brueski to explore the disturbing paradox at the center of the Gilgo Beach case: How did Rex Heuermann's family not know? Asa Ellerup, Rex's longtime wife, has become one of the most controversial figures in the case—not because she's accused of anything—but because of what she didn't see. In this episode, Dreeke walks us through her emotional profile, behavioral patterns, and the psychological traits that may have made her the perfect partner for a man allegedly living a double life. We examine key footage from Peacock's The Gilgo Beach Killer: Secrets of a Serial Killer and discuss the FBI's view of how people like Heuermann are able to manipulate those closest to them. Dreeke explains how serial predators often seek out partners who lack curiosity, who prioritize stability over questions, and who are more likely to rationalize away red flags in the name of love or loyalty. Is Asa a victim herself? Was she chosen for her trust, her dependence, or simply her desire to believe the best in someone? This segment breaks down not just her words, but her behaviors, her relationships, and the life she thought she was living—until the knock on the door that changed everything. If you've ever wondered how evil hides in plain sight, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.  Hashtags: #GilgoBeach #RexHeuermann #AsaEllerup #TrueCrimeAnalysis #FBIProfiler #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #SerialKillerMindset #PeacockDocumentary #DenialAndDeception 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

Living With a Serial Killer: FBI Expert Explains How Rex Heuermann Hid 7 Murders From Family Description: How does a man accused of brutally murdering seven women over three decades hide such horrific crimes from the family sleeping under the same roof? In this eye-opening interview, former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, who led the Bureau's Behavioral Analysis Program, breaks down the sophisticated psychological mechanisms that allow serial killers to compartmentalize their lives. Rex Heuermann, a 61-year-old Manhattan architect, allegedly maintained two completely separate existences - devoted family man in Massapequa Park by day, predator hunting vulnerable women by night. His wife of 27 years, Asa Ellerup, continues to support him, while his daughter Victoria now believes he's "most likely" guilty. This family divide offers a unique window into how deception operates in long-term relationships. Dreeke explains the concept of "truth-default state" - why spouses detect lies at only 50% accuracy, essentially no better than a coin flip. He reveals how environmental factors like suburban normalcy and professional success create cognitive dissonance that prevents family members from recognizing warning signs. The discussion covers specific patterns Heuermann allegedly used: only killing when family was out of town, using multiple burner phones, and maintaining strict operational security that ultimately failed him. Drawing parallels to other cases like BTK killer Dennis Rader, Dreeke provides crucial insights for listeners about red flags in relationships: secretive technology use, unexplained absences, compartmentalized friendships, and subtle personality shifts. He addresses the haunting question every family member asks: "How did I not know?" This episode is particularly valuable for women concerned about relationship safety, offering practical advice on when privacy becomes concerning secrecy and how to strengthen intuition without becoming paranoid. Dreeke's expertise in trust assessment and human behavior provides listeners with tools to protect themselves while understanding the complex trauma faced by families of accused killers.

Big Breakdown: Karen Read on Trial: Psychologist, FBI & Defense Attorney Tear It All Down In this explosive episode of the Hidden Killers Podcast, host Tony Brueski is joined by a powerful expert panel to break down the psychological and legal layers of the Karen Read trial. Featuring licensed psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, and former prosecutor turned defense attorney Eric Faddis, this deep-dive explores what may really be going on behind Karen Read's statements, courtroom behavior, and post-incident interviews. This isn't just speculation. Shavaun Scott brings clinical insight into traits of narcissistic rage and borderline personality disorder, helping us understand how fear of abandonment, emotional volatility, and ego protection could explain some of Karen Read's erratic and contradictory reactions—especially after the death of John O'Keefe. Meanwhile, Dreeke and Faddis unpack how Read's public statements, contradictions, and refusal to accept accountability fit classic behavioral profiles. They also explore how her post-crash interviews and courtroom demeanor may reflect self-preservation above grief—often viewed by jurors as cold detachment. From the infamous “Did I hit him?” quote to her public targeting of alleged conspirators, the experts explain why her shifting narratives and finger-pointing may backfire legally—and signal deeper psychological distress. Is she collapsing under guilt, or masterfully manipulating perception? You decide. This video also unpacks the dwindling FKR movement, the cult-like behavior of Karen's die-hard supporters, and how social media has shaped the courtroom's atmosphere. Whether you believe Karen Read is guilty or not, this is the psychological and legal breakdown you don't want to miss. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #PsychologicalAnalysis #TrueCrimeExperts #HiddenKillers #NarcissisticRage #TrialBreakdown #FBIBehaviorAnalysis #KarenReadTrial #ForensicPsychology 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

This video also unpacks the dwindling FKR movement, the cult-like behavior of Karen's die-hard supporters, and how social media has shaped the courtroom's atmosphere. Whether you believe Karen Read is guilty or not, this is the psychological and legal breakdown you don't want to miss. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #PsychologicalAnalysis #TrueCrimeExperts #HiddenKillers #NarcissisticRage #TrialBreakdown #FBIBehaviorAnalysis #KarenReadTrial #ForensicPsychology 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

Big Breakdown: The Delphi Murders And The Wrongful Conviction Of Richard Allen In this eye-opening episode of Hidden Killers, we take you inside the interrogation room where Richard Allen—the man now at the center of the Delphi murders case—was questioned by investigators. Joining us are two of the top minds in behavioral science: retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke and forensic psychotherapist Shavaun Scott. Together, we dissect the interrogation footage that has sparked serious questions about the strength of the case—and whether the real killer is still out there. From the moment Allen sits down, the tension is palpable—but not in the way you might expect from a guilty man. Robin Dreeke unpacks Allen's verbal patterns, stress indicators, and behavior under pressure. Is this the posture of a man hiding a heinous crime… or someone completely out of his depth, terrified, and confused by the weight of what he's being accused of? Shavaun Scott brings her lens of clinical experience to Allen's emotional presentation and mental state. As the conversation unfolds, Allen appears increasingly distressed—making unusual religious statements, referencing his declining mental health, and wavering between confusion and fear. Could this be the unraveling of a guilty conscience, or the mental collapse of an innocent man trapped in a nightmare? Together, Dreeke and Scott explore: The lack of forensic evidence tying Allen to the crime scene Whether Allen's demeanor matches that of a deceptive subject—or a psychologically overwhelmed civilian Red flags in how the interrogation was conducted, and whether coercion or suggestibility could have played a role The possibility that investigators zeroed in on the wrong man under immense public pressure If you've watched the Richard Allen tapes and walked away unsettled—this episode will help you understand why. This isn't just about guilt or innocence. It's about how easily the justice system can make a mistake, and how we spot it before it's too late. #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #WronglyAccused #FalseConfession #FBIProfiler #ShavaunScott #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #InterrogationBreakdown  Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
