Podcasts about fbi special agent robin dreeke

We're going live with former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke for an extended conversation covering two major cases—and the warning signs that allegedly went unheeded in both. Robin spent 21 years with the Bureau, including serving as Chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, and he's breaking down the behavioral mechanics at play in both the Kohberger and Reiner cases. First: The new lawsuit against Washington State University. The families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin allege WSU received 13 formal complaints about Bryan Kohberger's threatening and predatory behavior—and failed to act. Faculty allegedly predicted he would sexually assault students. Staff created their own warning systems. Robin explains what those red flags should have triggered and why institutions fail. Then: The Reiner case. Nick Reiner was under a court-ordered LPS conservatorship in 2020. His medication was reportedly changed a month before his parents were found stabbed to death. The night before, Rob and Michele watched him behave erratically at a party—and went to sleep. Robin analyzes how families lose their ability to perceive threat, how manipulative individuals exploit trust over decades, and whether anyone could have broken through to the Reiners before December 14th. We'll take your questions on both cases. Join us live for this critical conversation about what it takes to recognize danger—and why people so often fail to act on what they see.#LIVE #BryanKohberger #NickReiner #RobReiner #RobinDreeke #FBI #WSULawsuit #Conservatorship #ThreatAssessment #TrueCrimeLiveJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger wasn't invisible. He wasn't quiet. According to a new lawsuit filed by the families of his four victims, Washington State University received at least 13 formal complaints about his threatening, stalking, and predatory behavior in a single semester—and allegedly failed to act in any meaningful way. Today on True Crime Today, former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks down what these warning signs mean from a professional threat assessment perspective. Robin served 21 years with the Bureau, including as Chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, and he specializes in understanding the behavioral patterns that precede violence. The lawsuit describes WSU faculty and staff creating informal warning systems because they felt the institution wouldn't protect them. A professor allegedly predicted Kohberger would sexually abuse students if given a PhD. Women reportedly needed security escorts to their cars. Students fled classrooms. And according to the families' complaint, WSU chose not to remove Kohberger—allegedly because doing so might expose the university to a lawsuit. Robin explains why institutions make that calculation, what 13 complaints in one semester should trigger operationally, and how threat assessment programs are supposed to function when warning signs stack up this high. The families are calling these murders "foreseeable and preventable." Robin weighs in on whether they're right—and what needs to change so this doesn't happen again.#TrueCrimeToday #BryanKohberger #WSULawsuit #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #RobinDreeke #ThreatAssessment #UniversitySafetyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We're going live with former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to break down the new lawsuit against Washington State University filed by the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. The lawsuit makes explosive allegations: that WSU received 13 formal complaints about Bryan Kohberger's threatening, stalking, and predatory behavior during the fall 2022 semester—and allegedly did nothing meaningful to stop him. Robin Dreeke spent 21 years with the FBI, including serving as Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, and he's here to answer your questions about what these warning signs should have triggered and why institutions fail to act even when the danger is clear. The complaint describes staff creating their own "911" email system to alert each other about Kohberger. Faculty allegedly calling him a future sexual predator. Women fleeing classrooms in tears. Students and staff needing security escorts. Robin will walk us through the threat assessment process—what a university should do when complaints pile up like this, what behaviors cross the threshold from concerning to dangerous, and whether the families' claim that these murders were "foreseeable and preventable" holds up to behavioral analysis. We'll take your questions live and discuss what this lawsuit means for institutional accountability. If you've ever wondered how someone like Kohberger slips through the cracks when so many people allegedly saw him coming, this is the conversation you need to hear.

When violent cases break, attention locks onto motive and emotion. But behavioral analysts look somewhere else — at what happens after the act, at patterns that build over years, at the gap between words and behavior. True Crime Today brings you that analysis from retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke.Nick Reiner reportedly admits to killing his parents — then describes incarceration as a "conspiracy." Robin examines decades of instability, repeated treatment stays that ended before sustained intervention, and why short-term compliance can function as system management rather than real change. Most revealing: the reported post-offense behavior. There was calm movement, time, decision-making — not immediate collapse. Robin explains why that matters.Brendan Banfield was an IRS criminal investigator. Prosecutors say he planned an elaborate double murder. But Robin asks whether his behavior actually supports that theory. Banfield was a federal agent who understood evidence. If he planned this, why leave a framed photo of his mistress for police to find? Why give a detailed 911 statement? Robin breaks down what deception looks like in real time — and whether Banfield fits the profile.The prosecution portrays Juliana Peres Magalhaes as manipulated. The defense says she's a liar who flipped to save herself. Robin — who built a career analyzing trust and manipulation — examines the behavioral evidence. Her jailhouse letter said she was "heartbroken" for what she was doing to Brendan. What does that reveal?Two cases. Behavior that tells the real story.#TrueCrimeToday #RobinDreeke #NickReiner #BrendanBanfield #FBI #BehavioralAnalysis #CriminalPsychology #Deception #ChristineBanfield #JulianaPeresMagalhaesJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We're going LIVE with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke for a deep dive into two of the most analyzed cases in true crime right now: Nick Reiner and Brendan Banfield.Dreeke spent 32 years at the FBI, including leading the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He's analyzed spies, criminals, and targets of federal investigations. He literally wrote the book on trust and manipulation. Now he's turning that expertise on two cases that refuse to be simple.Nick Reiner reportedly admits to killing his parents — then frames incarceration as a "conspiracy." Robin explains why post-event narratives are behavioral gold. We examine decades of instability, treatment cycling, and the reported aftermath that didn't involve confusion or collapse. Why does calm movement after violence raise questions? Robin breaks it down.Brendan Banfield was an IRS criminal investigator accused of orchestrating double murder. The prosecution says he spent months planning. But eight months later, police found a framed photo of Brendan and his mistress on the nightstand. He called 911. He gave a detailed statement. Robin examines whether this behavior matches a calculated killer — or whether the theory falls apart.Juliana Peres Magalhaes spent a year telling police the same story Brendan did. Then she flipped. From jail, she wrote that she still loved him. Robin analyzes who was really in control — and what to watch for when she testifies.Drop your questions in the chat.

Join us live as former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks down the psychology behind the Tepe murders and explains what makes a "wound collector" tick.Dr. Michael McKee allegedly waited eight years after his divorce from Monique Tepe to act. Eight years of silence. No criminal record. No documented threats. Just a successful career as a vascular surgeon — and, according to investigators, a grievance he never let go.Robin Dreeke ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He's spent decades studying how people think, how they deceive, and how dangerous personalities hide in plain sight until they don't.Tonight we're asking the hard questions: What is a wound collector and how do they differ from someone who simply holds a grudge? How does a high-functioning professional mask this kind of resentment? What triggers someone to finally act after years of dormancy? How do wound collectors flip the script and convince themselves they're the victim? And can these people be identified before they become dangerous?Drop your questions in the chat — we'll get to as many as we can.McKee maintains his innocence and plans to plead not guilty to two counts of premeditated aggravated murder. Spencer and Monique Tepe leave behind two young children.Understanding the psychology won't undo what happened.

We're going LIVE with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke for Part 2 of our deep dive into the Brendan Banfield case. This time: the relationship between Brendan and Juliana Peres Magalhaes. Who was really in control? Who was manipulating whom? And can the jury trust anything she says?Dreeke spent 32 years at the FBI, including leading the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He's recruited spies, analyzed assets, and built expertise in trust and manipulation that few people in the world can match. He literally wrote the book on it.The prosecution says Brendan manipulated a young au pair into helping him commit murder. They say he pressured her and told her it was too late to back out. But Juliana spent a year in jail telling police the same story Brendan did — then flipped when she got a deal that sends her home to Brazil. From jail, she wrote that she was "heartbroken" for what she was doing to Brendan and that she still loved him.Dreeke breaks down what that letter reveals about her psychology. He examines the behavioral markers that separate genuinely coerced participants from willing co-conspirators. He explains what causes someone to maintain a lie for a year — and what causes them to flip.The jury is going to watch Juliana testify. Dreeke tells you exactly what to look for in her demeanor, her language, and her responses under cross-examination.Drop your questions in the chat.

True Crime Today brings you an exclusive behavioral analysis of Brendan Banfield from retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke. Dreeke led the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program and has spent over three decades reading people. His question for this case: does the prosecution's theory actually make behavioral sense?Brendan Banfield was an IRS criminal investigator — a federal agent who built cases for a living. Prosecutors say he used that expertise to plan an elaborate double murder: creating fake FetLife profiles, luring a stranger to his home, coordinating with his au pair mistress, staging the crime scene as self-defense. But if that's true, why did Banfield leave a framed photo of himself and Juliana on his nightstand for police to find? Why did he call 911 and give a detailed statement?Dreeke breaks down what deception looks like in real time — and whether Banfield's post-offense behavior fits the profile of a calculated killer. He examines the gun purchase prosecutors call premeditation. He analyzes the McDonald's detail where Banfield allegedly waited nearby. He explains what the 911 call should reveal about whether Banfield was telling the truth.The affair is central to the motive theory. But affairs happen constantly without murder. Dreeke identifies the escalation factors that would need to be present for someone to go from infidelity to allegedly orchestrating a double homicide — and whether they appear in this case.This is behavioral analysis you won't hear in the courtroom. Dreeke gives his expert read on what Brendan Banfield's actions actually tell us.#BrendanBanfield #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimeToday #FBI #BehavioralAnalysis #ChristineBanfield #AuPairMurder #MurderTrial #Psychology #DeceptionJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We're going LIVE with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke — former head of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — for a deep dive into the psychology of Brendan Banfield. Does his behavior match a man who planned an elaborate double murder? Or does the prosecution's theory fall apart under behavioral scrutiny?Dreeke has spent 32 years reading people for a living. He's analyzed spies, criminals, and targets of federal investigations. Now he's turning that expertise on a case that's captivating the true crime world.Brendan Banfield was an IRS criminal investigator who allegedly orchestrated the murders of his wife Christine and Joseph Ryan with help from the family's au pair. But eight months after the killings, police found a framed photo of Brendan and Juliana on his nightstand. He called 911 and gave a detailed statement. He didn't flee. He didn't destroy evidence.Dreeke examines whether this behavior fits a calculated killer or whether prosecutors are building a narrative around actions that mean something else entirely. He breaks down the gun purchase, the range visits, the McDonald's detail, and what the 911 call should reveal about deception.We're taking your questions in real time. Drop them in the chat.

When violent cases break, attention usually locks onto motive and emotion. But analysts often look somewhere else — at what happens after the act. In this episode of True Crime Today, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke explains why post-offense behavior can reshape how an entire case is understood.Using publicly reported aspects of the Nick Reiner case, Robin breaks down why calm movement, decision-making, and narrative framing after an alleged crime matter. These behaviors don't cancel mental illness — but they can complicate claims about awareness and control.The episode also explores the broader context: years of treatment cycling, medication changes driven by side effects, and how prolonged instability can reset family expectations. Robin explains why families don't “miss” warning signs — they adapt to them — and how that adaptation can delay intervention until outcomes are irreversible.This discussion focuses on behavior, not excuses — and why the aftermath often tells the real story.#TrueCrimeToday #NickReiner #RobinDreeke #CrimeAnalysis #BehavioralScienceJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Nick Reiner case is often framed as sudden and shocking. But when you step back and examine the behavior being publicly reported, a different picture begins to emerge — one built over years, not moments.In this episode of Hidden Killers, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to analyze the long behavioral pattern behind the case. We break down decades of instability, repeated rehab stays that ended before sustained psychiatric intervention, and how short-term compliance can sometimes function as a pressure release instead of real change.Robin explains how manipulation and mental illness can coexist — and why that combination is often misunderstood. We also examine the reported medication change shortly before the killings and what it can suggest about insight, priorities, and control when stability competes with convenience.One of the most revealing elements of this case is the reported framing after the killings. Acknowledging the act while framing incarceration as a “conspiracy” isn't just a statement — it's behavior. Robin explains why analysts pay attention to post-event narratives and how they differ from genuine psychotic collapse, where accountability often returns once stabilization occurs.The conversation also confronts family dynamics that rarely get discussed honestly. When instability becomes the baseline, families adapt. Social circles apologize, leave early, and reset expectations. Robin explains how normalization isn't neglect — it's exhaustion — and how that exhaustion can quietly pave the way for tragedy.This episode strips away excuses and focuses on patterns — because patterns don't lie.#HiddenKillers #NickReiner #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimeDiscussion #BehaviorAnalysis #FamilyTraumaJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

HK LIVE is where cases go when headlines stop explaining them. In this episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke focuses on the most uncomfortable phase of the Nick Reiner case — what happened after the killings.According to publicly reported information, the aftermath did not involve immediate collapse or confusion. There was time, movement, purchases, navigation, and narrative framing. Robin explains why analysts don't dismiss this window — and why post-event behavior often reveals more about mindset than emotional displays ever could.We also examine long-term patterns that set the stage: repeated treatment cycling, short-term compliance, and family systems that adapted to instability instead of stopping it. Robin explains how chaos becomes familiar over time, lowering intervention thresholds until danger feels routine.A central focus of this episode is narrative control. Admitting to the act while describing incarceration as a “conspiracy” is a behavioral signal that analysts do not ignore. Robin explains how these narratives are evaluated and why they matter when responsibility is being redirected away from the act itself.This episode doesn't diagnose. It doesn't speculate. It explains why the most revealing part of this case may not be the crime — but the behavior that followed it.#HKLive #NickReiner #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimeDeepDive #BehaviorAnalysisJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Going live with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to break down two cases that share one devastating truth: the people who died knew exactly who was dangerous and still couldn't stop it.Nick Reiner's parents brought him to a Christmas party to keep an eye on him. His mother told friends they'd tried everything. His schizophrenia medication had been changed weeks earlier. Three weeks after the murders, high-profile attorney Alan Jackson quit the case after declaring Nick is not guilty under California law — then refused to explain why.Judge Kevin Mullins had lunch with Sheriff Mickey Stines the day Stines shot him dead. A lawyer had warned Mullins directly that Stines was losing it. Both men were connected to a lawsuit involving sexual misconduct allegations. Fifteen months later, still no official motive.Robin Dreeke ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program for years. Tonight he's live to take your questions on both cases — how familiarity blinds people to danger, what the warning signs actually looked like, and why two very different killings reveal the same institutional failures.

What happens when a system designed to uncover truth suddenly shuts its own lights off? In this gripping dual-segment episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dig deep into the psychology of institutional protection — and the escalating political pressure surrounding the Epstein network. In the first half, Robin Dreeke breaks down how organizations drift from accountability into silence. Drawing from decades in counterintelligence, he explains how fear, ambition, and self-preservation turn institutions into shields for the powerful. Using the DOJ's shutdown of the Epstein co-conspirator probe as a case study — based on concerns raised by Rep. Jamie Raskin in his congressional letter — Robin unpacks how “strategic ignorance,” internal pressure, and denial can override the pursuit of truth. This is not about partisanship; it's about psychology, and what happens when mission gives way to reputation. Then the story widens. In an unprecedented development, the U.S. House Oversight Committee has formally requested testimony from Prince Andrew regarding his historical association with Jeffrey Epstein. This request, signed by sixteen members of Congress, cites flight logs, financial entries, and survivor allegations — all of which Andrew has consistently denied. Tony breaks down what the congressional letter asks, why lawmakers say new information has emerged, and what cooperation or refusal could mean for Andrew and the monarchy's already fragile public standing. We analyze the survivor accounts, the alleged documents now in congressional hands, and how political bodies pursue answers when other institutions stand still. No conclusions — just the claims, the context, and the psychology behind why powerful systems protect themselves. If you've ever wondered why accountability stops at certain doorways, this episode lays bare the patterns. #HiddenKillers #EpsteinCase #InstitutionalPsychology #RobinDreeke #TonyBrueski #PrinceAndrew #CongressionalInquiry #DOJ #FBI #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

If you've ever wondered why accountability stops at certain doorways, this episode lays bare the patterns. #HiddenKillers #EpsteinCase #InstitutionalPsychology #RobinDreeke #TonyBrueski #PrinceAndrew #CongressionalInquiry #DOJ #FBI #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this gripping Hidden Killers episode, we go inside the fractured world surrounding Bryan Kohberger — from the secret emotional ties he's maintaining behind bars to the courtroom moment that pierced the last layer of his psychological armor. Tony Brueski is joined by retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke and defense attorney Bob Motta to dissect the two most unsettling threads emerging from Kohberger's final days in court: his ongoing conversations with his mother, and the viral victim impact statement delivered by Alivea Goncalves. We explore why Kohberger's mother is still communicating with him, what psychological needs those conversations fulfill for him, and why offenders often cling to the last person who still gives them validation. Robin breaks down the emotional leverage and quiet manipulation that can happen even from a prison cell — the ego maintenance, the power dynamic, the distorted sense of control. We also examine the painful question families face when a child commits horrific acts: what does loyalty look like when the truth is unbearable? At the same time, we analyze the courtroom moment that defined sentencing: Alivea Goncalves's direct, devastating statement aimed squarely at Kohberger's identity — his intellect, his superiority, his fantasy narrative of control. Bob explains why her words cut deeper than most victim statements and why Kohberger's cold, rigid demeanor may have been his only remaining defense mechanism. His unblinking stare, tight jaw, and lack of emotion revealed far more than he intended. Together, this episode exposes the emotional and psychological ecosystem around Kohberger — the family ties he still manipulates, the ego he tries to preserve, and the moment in court when someone finally spoke to him in a way he could not ignore. If you want to understand the psychology behind the headlines, this is the breakdown that goes where few analyses ever do. #BryanKohberger #HiddenKillers #AliveaGoncalves #KohbergerMother #TrueCrimePodcast #BehavioralAnalysis #CourtroomPsychology #VictimImpactStatement #FBIProfiler Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this powerful Hidden Killers episode, we examine two sides of the same story: the forensic reality that dismantled Bryan Kohberger's image of intelligence — and the viral victim impact statement that attacked the last thing he had left: his ego. Host Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke take you inside the psychology, behavior, and unraveling facade of a man who once believed he could outsmart everyone. First, we break down Alivea Goncalves' extraordinary statement — a surgical strike aimed directly at Kohberger's psychological pressure points. Her words didn't just describe loss. They deconstructed him. She went after his academic identity, his obsession with control, his need to be seen as superior. For someone built entirely around ego, this was a rare moment where the mask slipped. His rigid posture, clenched jaw, and fixed stare became their own confession. Then we turn to the evidence — the facts that exposed just how fragile Kohberger's “perfect plan” really was. The knife sheath with his DNA. The vehicle match. Cellphone data placing him near the home. Surveillance footage. The failed cover-up attempts. His unusual behavior in the days after the crime. Even Xana Kernodle's fight back, which may have left critical traces that sealed the case. Together, Tony and Robin show how both the emotional truth and the forensic truth converge: Kohberger wasn't the criminal mastermind he imagined. He wasn't in control. And on sentencing day, he couldn't hide from the families, the evidence, or himself. This episode isn't just commentary — it's behavioral and forensic analysis at full depth. If you want to understand why the case collapsed and why Alivea's statement hit him so hard, this is the breakdown you've been waiting for. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #AliveaGoncalves #VictimImpactStatement #BehavioralAnalysis #TrueCrimePodcast #KohbergerSentencing #ForensicEvidence Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This is it — the day the case finally reached its brutal conclusion. In this special Hidden Killers presentation, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke bring you the full, unedited courtroom video from the July 22, 2025 sentencing of Bryan Kohberger, the man who pleaded guilty to the killings of four University of Idaho students: Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. No commentary during the hearing. No interruptions. Just the courtroom, exactly as it unfolded. Before the footage begins, Tony and Robin provide essential context — the legal stakes, the emotional weight, and what this day represented for the victims' families. After the hearing ends, they return with insight and analysis of what we witnessed, what it means, and where this case lands in the broader landscape of justice. Inside the courtroom, you will see: • Raw, emotional statements from the families of Madison, Kaylee, Xana, and Ethan — the people who have carried this grief for nearly three years. • Kohberger's final moments in court before spending the rest of his life in prison. • Whether he chooses to speak — or chooses silence. • Judge Steven Hippler delivering the sentence: four consecutive life sentences with no possibility of parole, plus an additional term for burglary. • The final chapter in a case that shattered families, rattled a community, and captivated the nation. There is no speculation here. No dramatization. No added heat. Just the reality of a courtroom reckoning — unscripted, unvarnished, and at times unbearably human. If you've followed this case from the beginning, this is the moment it all lands. The consequence. The closure. The weight of the final word. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #Sentencing #TrueCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How does a family live beside an alleged serial killer for nearly three decades without realizing the monster in their own home? In this powerful episode, two top behavioral experts—retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott—break down the psychological blind spots, emotional dynamics, and manipulation patterns that may explain how Rex Heuermann hid a double life from those closest to him. Robin Dreeke opens the conversation with an FBI-level behavioral analysis of Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's longtime wife. He explores the subtle traits predators often look for in partners: trust over curiosity, stability over confrontation, and a tendency to rationalize red flags instead of investigating them. Dreeke explains how “truth-default mode” and compartmentalization allow serial offenders to mask their darkest impulses while maintaining the appearance of normal family life. We analyze key moments from the Peacock documentary that reveal how Asa's behaviors, reactions, and emotional patterns may have made her vulnerable to deception—not complicit in it. Then we shift to their daughter, Victoria, whose heartbreaking journey unfolds in real time. Shavaun Scott walks us through the psychological shock of realizing a beloved parent may be responsible for unimaginable violence. From Victoria's “love and hate can coexist” confession to her disturbing trauma-processing artwork, we explore ambiguous loss, identity shattering, and the impossible emotional math children of accused killers must reconcile. Victoria's shift from admiration to believing her father is “most likely guilty” is one of the most honest and devastating arcs in true-crime storytelling.

How does a man live under the same roof as his wife and children while allegedly carrying out seven brutal murders over nearly three decades? In this powerful two-part breakdown, we bring together two of the nation's leading experts on human behavior—former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott—to explain how Rex Heuermann may have maintained one of the most disturbing double lives in modern true crime. Robin Dreeke opens the episode with a deep dive into the psychology of compartmentalization, truth-default theory, and why spouses detect lies only about 50% of the time. He explains how Heuermann allegedly created a split existence: family man in Massapequa Park, predator operating in secrecy when his wife and children were out of town. Burner phones, controlled finances, rigid routines—each played into the illusion of normalcy. Dreeke draws critical parallels to notorious cases like BTK, revealing the subtle relationship red flags that can be missed even by those closest to the perpetrator. Then psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins to analyze the chilling emotional dynamic captured in the Peacock documentary. Asa Ellerup's unwavering loyalty—even calling Rex her “hero”—opens a window into trauma bonding, coercive control, and the psychological grooming that can turn a spouse into an unknowing enabler. From Asa's isolation to tightly restricted access to finances and technology, Scott exposes the mechanisms that may have kept her locked inside Heuermann's constructed reality. Together, these insights reveal not just how a predator allegedly concealed his crimes, but how ordinary families can be pulled into extraordinary darkness without ever recognizing the danger. For anyone concerned about relationship safety, manipulation, or hidden abuse, this episode offers crucial perspective—and a sobering look at the human cost behind one of America's most haunting serial killer cases. #RexHeuermann #SerialKillerPsychology #GilgoBeachMurders #AsaEllerup #RobinDreeke #ShavaunScott #TrueCrimeAnalysis #DoubleLife #TraumaBonding #HiddenKillersPodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jesse Butler was eighteen years old when he pleaded no contest to eleven felony charges in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The charges included attempted rape, rape by instrumentation, and domestic assault by strangulation against two teenage girls. One victim was choked until she lost consciousness and required emergency surgery on her neck. Her doctor told her she came within thirty seconds of dying. Police recovered video from Butler's phone showing him strangling the other victim. Prosecutors could have pursued a sentence of up to seventy-eight years in prison. Instead, a judge granted Butler youthful offender status. His punishment? Community service, counseling sessions, and supervision until his nineteenth birthday. No prison time. No sex offender registration. If he complies with the terms, his record gets erased completely. The victims' families say they were never consulted about the plea deal. Both girls were prepared to testify. That opportunity was taken from them without explanation. Butler's father previously served as Director of Football Operations at Oklahoma State University. The judge who approved the youthful offender designation holds two degrees from OSU. No direct impropriety has been established, but protesters and families are demanding accountability and transparency. In this episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to break down the systemic failures that allowed this outcome. We examine the DA's decision to cut a deal without victim notification, the optics of institutional connections, and the message this sends to survivors everywhere who are weighing whether to come forward. State Representative J.J. Humphrey has called for a grand jury investigation. Protesters have gathered outside the courthouse at every hearing.

Jesse Butler was eighteen years old when he pleaded no contest to eleven felony charges in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The charges included attempted rape, rape by instrumentation, and domestic assault by strangulation against two teenage girls. One victim was choked until she lost consciousness and required emergency surgery on her neck. Her doctor told her she came within thirty seconds of dying. Police recovered video from Butler's phone showing him strangling the other victim. Prosecutors could have pursued a sentence of up to seventy-eight years in prison. Instead, a judge granted Butler youthful offender status. His punishment? Community service, counseling sessions, and supervision until his nineteenth birthday. No prison time. No sex offender registration. If he complies with the terms, his record gets erased completely. The victims' families say they were never consulted about the plea deal. Both girls were prepared to testify. That opportunity was taken from them without explanation. Butler's father previously served as Director of Football Operations at Oklahoma State University. The judge who approved the youthful offender designation holds two degrees from OSU. No direct impropriety has been established, but protesters and families are demanding accountability and transparency.

Rob Reiner didn't ignore his son's struggles — he built a movie around them. He talked openly about the guilt, the missteps, the decades of trying. Michele carried the emotional weight of nearly 20 years of crisis. They were present, involved, and doing everything our system tells families to do. And still, they were left defenseless. In part two, former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke explains the darkest truth: families are often fully aware someone is dangerous — but the law ties their hands. Parents cannot force an adult child into long-term treatment. They cannot limit their movements. They cannot compel medication. Without a documented, immediate threat, the system defaults to the rights of the individual — not the safety of the family. We explore: – How chronic crisis distorts judgment but also eliminates legal options – Why guilt, hope, and fear coexist in families trapped by mental-health laws – How caregivers often become targets because they are the safest emotional outlet – Why brutality in familial murders reflects years of psychological deterioration – The painful reality that love does not override a broken system This isn't a story about blind parents. It's a story about a system built to wait until the worst happens — and only then allows intervention. #ReinerMurders #RobinDreeke #TonyBrueski #HiddenKillers #MentalHealthCrisis #FamilyViolence #SystemicFailure #TrueCrimePodcast #ParentalGuilt #LegalLimitations Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

One month after 18-year-old Anna Kepner was found dead on the Carnival Horizon, the case has exploded into public view — not because the FBI has announced charges, but because her own family is now exposing details that paint an increasingly disturbing picture of what happened inside that cabin. In a December 5th custody hearing in Brevard County, Anna's older stepbrother testified under oath that their stepfather, Christopher Kepner, once put him in a chokehold during a custody dispute — the same type of bar hold that killed Anna. That testimony, delivered while the FBI is investigating a homicide involving the identical technique, immediately raised questions about where a 16-year-old could have learned a neck restraint that takes minutes to execute. This episode breaks down everything emerging from court: the skipped psychiatric medications in the days before Anna's death, the suspect's hospitalization after the ship docked, the parents moving him to an undisclosed location because they feared he was too dangerous to be around other children, and the family fracturing into public accusations. The grandmother says security footage shows only the stepbrother entering and exiting the cabin. Anna's father told People magazine he wants his stepson to “face the consequences.” Then retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to dissect the behavioral complexity surrounding concealment — Anna hidden under a bed, wrapped and placed out of sight. Robin explains why concealment by juveniles doesn't automatically equal malice; panic, dissociation, and shock can drive catastrophic decisions. We look at shifting statements, trauma responses, family chaos, and what investigators prioritize next: timelines, nonverbal cues, consistency, and the autopsy. No one has been charged. But the family has drawn its own conclusions — loudly and publicly. More testimony comes December 17th. We'll stay on it. #AnnaKepner #CarnivalCruise #CruiseShipInvestigation #TrueCrimeNews #RobinDreeke #BehavioralAnalysis #JuvenileCases #FamilyDynamics #CrimeInvestigation #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brian Walshe is on trial for murdering and dismembering his wife, Ana — a woman whose body has never been found. He has already pleaded guilty to disposing of her remains and lying to investigators, but maintains he didn't kill her. His explanation: he woke up, found Ana dead from an unexplained medical event, panicked, and tried to “protect his children.” The prosecution says the evidence tells a very different story. In this full interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke — former chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — breaks down every behavioral marker in this case: Walshe's police interviews, his shifting explanations, the marriage dynamics, the hidden affair, and the sequence of Google searches that began at 4:55 a.m. with “how long before a body starts to smell.” We also examine the explosive testimony from Day 6 of the trial. Jurors watched surveillance video of a masked man in blue latex gloves pushing a cart through Lowe's on New Year's Day, buying a hacksaw, hatchet, mops, buckets, and a Tyvek suit — all paid for in cash. Hours later, prosecutors say Walshe dumped a trash bag behind a closed liquor store. Inside that bag: blood-soaked carpet, human hair, and a piece of Gucci jewelry Ana owned. Crime lab experts testified that nearly every tool recovered from dumpsters tested positive for blood — including the hacksaw, hatchet, hammer, and tin snips. The basement showed blood stains near black trash bags. The bedroom — where the defense claims Ana died suddenly — was forensically clean. No blood. No disturbance. No biological trace. The medical examiner testified that sudden natural death in a healthy 39-year-old woman is “pretty rare.” After this breakdown, you'll understand the evidence the jury is weighing — and what it actually means. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheTrial #TrueCrimeNews #ForensicEvidence #RobinDreeke #FBIAnalysis #MurderTrial #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeForAna Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This full-length interview with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke brings together two deeply disturbing stories — the Jesse Butler case in Oklahoma and the tragic death of 18-year-old Anna Kepner aboard a cruise ship. Both cases expose something bigger than individual acts of violence. They reveal systems, institutions, and family dynamics that shape who gets protected — and who gets overlooked. Part One: The Predator's Playbook We examine how Jesse Butler allegedly built trust, manipulated perception, and inflicted escalating violence behind a mask of charm. Love-bombing, grooming, strangulation, digital trophies, calibrated threats — this is the behavioral blueprint of a predator operating in plain sight. Part Two: The System That Failed Despite overwhelming evidence and two victims ready to testify, Butler walked away with community service, counseling, and the promise of a clean record. We dig into the deal-making, the optics, the backlash, and the profound message this outcome sends to victims everywhere. Part Three: The Death of Anna Kepner Conflicting family stories, minimized aggression, outside witnesses telling a different truth, and behavioral indicators investigators look for when tragedy fractures the narrative. Robin explains how trained professionals cut through damage control to find reality. This episode isn't just about two cases — it's about the patterns, systems, and human behaviors that allow violence to go unchecked until it explodes into public view. #JesseButler #AnnaKepner #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #RobinDreeke #VictimAdvocacy #BehavioralAnalysis #JusticeMatters #CrimeAndAccountability Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eighteen-year-old Anna Kepner died on a cruise ship. Her sixteen-year-old stepbrother is the suspect. Now the public is hearing two competing narratives: the parents describing a picture-perfect blended family, and outside witnesses describing aggression, chokeholds, and tension adults insist never existed. In this interview, former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks down how investigators read these conflicting accounts. What signals truth? What signals narrative-protection? And how do you tell the difference between a family genuinely blindsided — and a family rewriting history? We explore the grandparents' “everything was fine” statements, the ex-boyfriend's drastically different perspective, the minimized reports of chokeholds, and the strange detail that sleeping arrangements were handled through a travel agent rather than the teenagers themselves. Stacy presses an important question: what does that say about the family's communication — and who was actually being considered? This is a breakdown of behavior, messaging, and the subtle cues investigators look for when tragedy fractures a family story. #AnnaKepner #CruiseInvestigation #RobinDreeke #FamilyDynamics #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #BehavioralAnalysis #JusticeForAnna #CrimeBreakdown Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two victims. Video evidence. Medical records. Eleven felonies. A potential 78-year sentence. And somehow, Jesse Butler walked away with community service, counseling sessions, and the promise of a wiped-clean record at nineteen. In this segment, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke returns to dissect the institutional meltdown surrounding this case. The DA cut a deal without notifying the victims. A judge with connections to Butler's father granted youthful offender status. A community service program rejected Butler outright. And families who were ready to testify were shut out entirely. We dig into what the justice system thinks it's doing when it claims to “spare victims from testimony” — and what actually happens when their agency is removed. We examine the optics, the backlash, the calls for a grand jury investigation, and what this outcome signals to victims everywhere who are deciding whether reporting abuse is even worth the trauma. Stacy asks the question on everyone's mind: Would this outcome look the same if Butler's family didn't have status and connections? This is systemic failure in real time — and a case study in how trust is destroyed. #JesseButler #JusticeSystemFailure #YouthfulOffender #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #VictimsRights #TrueCrimeAnalysis #OklahomaJustice #AccountabilityNow Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jesse Butler wasn't the monster people warn their daughters about. He was the boyfriend parents trusted. Flowers, church, country clubs, family dinners — the whole Norman Rockwell starter kit. And according to investigators, behind that perfectly polished image was a pattern of calculated violence that nearly killed two teenage girls. In this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks down how someone like Butler operates in plain sight — how predators build charm, weaponize trust, and calibrate threats to keep victims silent. We walk through the behavioral markers, the escalation from love-bombing to violence, and why strangulation is one of the most chilling predictors of future lethal behavior. We also look at the bodycam moment where Butler's mother immediately coaches him — and what that interaction reveals about the ecosystem that allows someone this dangerous to thrive. And as Stacy points out, strangulation requires sustained, intentional effort. What does that tell us about motive, psychology, and risk moving forward? If you're a parent, guardian, or young adult — this is a conversation you cannot afford to skip. #JesseButlerCase #RobinDreeke #BehavioralAnalysis #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #DatingViolence #VictimSupport #StrangulationRisk #JusticeForSurvivors Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We also look at the bodycam moment where Butler's mother immediately coaches him — and what that interaction reveals about the ecosystem that allows someone this dangerous to thrive. And as Stacy points out, strangulation requires sustained, intentional effort. What does that tell us about motive, psychology, and risk moving forward? If you're a parent, guardian, or young adult — this is a conversation you cannot afford to skip. #JesseButlerCase #RobinDreeke #BehavioralAnalysis #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #DatingViolence #VictimSupport #StrangulationRisk #JusticeForSurvivors Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brian Walshe is on trial right now for murdering and dismembering his wife Ana. Her body has never been found. He's already pleaded guilty to disposing of her remains and lying to police—but he says he didn't kill her. His defense: he woke up, found her dead from some unexplained medical event, and panicked. Rather than call 911, he spent three days Googling how to dismember a body, bought a hacksaw and hatchet at Home Depot, and distributed her remains across dumpsters in eastern Massachusetts. To protect his kids, they say. The prosecution has a different theory. And a search history that starts at 4:55 a.m. with "how long before a body starts to smell." In this full interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—former chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—takes us through every dimension of this case. Dreeke spent 21 years catching spies and detecting deception at the highest levels. His expertise is reading people: what they say, what they do, and what the gap between those things reveals. We break down Walshe's police interviews and the behavioral markers of deception. We examine the marriage itself—the affair Ana was hiding, the power imbalance created by Brian's home confinement, the resentments that may have been building beneath the surface. And we analyze the aftermath: the Google searches, the shopping trips, the dumpster runs, and what that sequence of behavior tells us about guilt or innocence. This isn't speculation. It's pattern recognition from someone who made a career out of knowing when people are lying. The jury is deliberating the evidence. After this interview, you'll understand what that evidence actually means. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheTrial #TrueCrime #FBI #RobinDreeke #BehavioralAnalysis #FBIProfiler #MurderTrial #DeceptionDetection #CrimePsychology #PoliceInterview #ForensicEvidence #GoogleSearches #TrueCrimePodcast #Cohasset #MassachusettsCrime #ConsciousnessOfGuilt #CriminalBehavior #TrueCrimeCommunity #JusticeForAna #ColdCase #FBIAgent #Interrogation Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

From the outside, the Walshes had it together. Three kids, a house in upscale Cohasset, a townhome in D.C., and Ana rising through commercial real estate. But the structure was fractured in ways that matter. Ana was months into an affair. Brian was under federal home confinement for art fraud, unable to travel, serving as primary caregiver while his wife built a separate life 400 miles away. She was the breadwinner. He was stuck. Four days before Ana died, someone on Brian's devices searched "what's the best state to divorce for a man." Two days later, their last text exchange ended with "love you" and "love you too." In this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—who spent his career studying trust, betrayal, and human motivation—helps us understand what was actually happening inside that marriage. His framework isn't academic theory. It comes from decades of assessing relationships where the stakes were life and death. We explore the behavioral dynamics the jury won't see spelled out: What does it mean that Ana spoke positively about Brian while conducting an affair? How does a power imbalance like home confinement reshape someone's psychology? Can resentment build invisibly until it becomes something else entirely? And what did Ana's careful management of the affair—insisting Brian hear about it from her, worrying about his reaction—tell us about how she perceived the risk? The prosecution says Brian discovered the affair and killed her. The defense says he didn't even know. Somewhere in the behavioral evidence is the answer. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheTrial #TrueCrime #FBI #RobinDreeke #RelationshipDynamics #DomesticViolence #BehavioralAnalysis #TrustAndBetrayal #Affair #MurderMotive #CrimePsychology #TrueCrimePodcast #IntimatePartnerViolence #Cohasset #MassachusettsCrime #FBIProfiler #TrueCrimeCommunity #CriminalPsychology Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
