FBI Behavior Chief Goes Inside the Mind of the Charlie Kirk Assassin: Fear, Family & Lone Wolf Patterns In this gripping segment of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski and the team sit down with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to dissect the accused assassin of Charlie Kirk. On the surface, the 22-year-old suspect seemed like the last person you'd expect to commit such an act: a suburban Utah upbringing, a Mormon family described as “squeaky clean,” an academic star student with a scholarship, and no criminal record. But as Dreeke explains, appearances can be deceiving. Drawing on his decades of FBI counterintelligence and behavioral analysis experience, Dreeke explores how the suspect's profile fits the pattern of a lone-wolf assassin — but with important deviations. Unlike methodical planners like Ted Kaczynski, this was not a professional hit. Instead, Dreeke points to impulsivity, emotional hijacking, and “leakage” — the unintentional signals people give off when they are spiraling toward violence. The discussion dives into how fear becomes the primal driver when curiosity dies. Robin explains how rigid belief systems, isolation, and identity conflict can escalate into rage when someone lacks the tools to process emotions in healthy ways. The hosts explore whether a triggering event, perhaps connected to the suspect's personal relationships, could have been the final spark. This segment pulls back the curtain on the psychology of lone-wolf violence — showing how fear, not ideology, often drives people to the edge. #CharlieKirk #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #AssassinationAttempt #RobinDreeke #BehavioralAnalysis #FBI #LoneWolf #Radicalization #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

FBI Insider Reveals the Truth Behind Tyler Robinson's Arrest in Charlie Kirk Assassination The nation is reeling after the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk — and the FBI has moved with lightning speed to arrest a suspect. Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah, is now in custody, but the story is far from over. In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels to break down what happened behind the scenes — and why this arrest is unlike anything we've seen in recent years. Dreeke, who once led the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, shares his first reaction to the FBI's response, calling it one of the most coordinated, high-tempo operations in memory. He explains how Robinson left a trail of mistakes, why his father's devastating decision to turn him in is a rare but critical act, and what it all reveals about the broken psychology of lone-wolf assassins. But this isn't just about one man. This is about how law enforcement, under extreme pressure, can either build public trust or destroy it. Dreeke pulls no punches as he contrasts this FBI operation with chaotic responses from the past — and explains why, for once, the system worked. This is the raw, unfiltered FBI insight you won't hear anywhere else. #CharlieKirk #TylerRobinson #FBI #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #PoliticalViolence #Arrest #TrueCrime #LawEnforcement #BreakingNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

FBI Behavioral Secrets: Robin Dreeke on How Tribalism Created Charlie Kirk's Assassin In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, the arrest of Tyler Robinson has raised urgent questions: how does a seemingly normal young man radicalize to the point of murder? And why didn't anyone — friends, family, community — stop him sooner? On Hidden Killers Live, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke delivers a chilling answer: we've lost curiosity. In a culture where tribalism dominates and polarization defines entire generations, people don't listen anymore — they divide, isolate, and double down on rage. And in those echo chambers, violence becomes thinkable. Dreeke shares the FBI's hard-won lessons from interviewing killers and terrorists: you cannot understand someone if you lead with judgment. Curiosity, empathy, and dialogue are not “soft skills” — they are survival tools. They are how agents get confessions. They are how families intervene before tragedy. And they are how society defuses political violence before it explodes. This is not about excusing Robinson's crime. It is about exposing the broken pathways that produced him — and confronting the reality that more young men are walking those same roads right now. Dreeke explains how tribalism feeds itself online, how curiosity can stop radicalization in its tracks, and why America's inability to communicate across divides is fueling its darkest crimes. This is the side of the story you won't hear on cable news. #CharlieKirk #TylerRobinson #FBI #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #Tribalism #PoliticalViolence #Dialogue #TrueCrime #Radicalization Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

From 9/11 Unity to Charlie Kirk's Political Assassination: FBI's Robin Dreeke Warns America Twenty-four years ago, America stood shoulder-to-shoulder in the aftermath of 9/11. Today, after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, we are more divided, more tribal, and more fragile than ever. What happened? And can we get back what we lost? In this powerful Hidden Killers Live segment, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke reflects on his experiences during 9/11, when strangers lined highways to hand water and masks to first responders. He remembers a time when politics didn't matter — when all that mattered was unity and humanity. Then he contrasts it with today's America, where political violence is no longer unthinkable. Dreeke explains how foreign adversaries exploit these fractures with disinformation campaigns, why leadership in law enforcement can model the way forward, and how ordinary people can “find the greatness” in each other before rage turns deadly. The lesson is stark: unity is possible, but only if we fight for it. And the assassination of Charlie Kirk may be the wake-up call America desperately needs. #CharlieKirk #TylerRobinson #FBI #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #PoliticalViolence #TrueCrime #Unity #911 #LawEnforcement Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

I sat with ex-FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke tonight and we talked through the assassination of Charlie Kirk. What stood out most wasn't politics. It was Robin, a dad himself, saying the first thing he thought of was Kirk's children — now growing up without their father. A 31-year-old kid himself in so many ways, gunned down for talking. This wasn't about agreeing or disagreeing with him. It was about the simple right to stand up, speak, ask questions, and argue. That's what Charlie built his life around — conversation. You don't have to like him to see the danger in silencing that with a bullet. Robin said something that cut through: assassinations like this aren't usually about ideology — they're about rage, broken problem-solving, people looking for notoriety. And that's what makes this scarier. It means the next shooter doesn't need a political cause. Just an excuse. If talking becomes deadly, what's left for the rest of us? We need to remember how to argue without killing, how to disagree without dehumanizing. Because if a voice can be erased this easily, the fear that follows will silence a lot more than one man.

FBI Profiler Reveals Twisted Mother-Son Bond Between Donna & Charlie Adelson The most disturbing part of the Donna Adelson case isn't just the murder. It's her deeply unhealthy emotional grip on her son, Charlie. In this final chapter of our four-part interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke helps us unpack the enmeshed, codependent dynamic that may have fueled a murder-for-hire plot. We explore the psychology of emotional incest—not sexual, but psychological—and how Donna used fear, guilt, and lifelong programming to keep her son obedient into his 40s. This was no ordinary mother-son relationship. This was psychological domination dressed up as maternal love. Robin walks us through the patterns of grooming, control, and total emotional fusion that made Charlie the perfect foot soldier for a plan he may not have even questioned. We talk about Wendy's role, Harvey's absence, and the chilling possibility that this family has been living in Donna's shadow for decades. This isn't just a crime—it's a generational collapse. And now, the entire Adelson empire is falling apart, one testimony at a time. Subscribe for more expert analysis, only on Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski.

FBI Behavioral Analyst Breaks Down Donna Adelson's Courtroom Narcissism Donna Adelson's courtroom behavior isn't just bizarre—it's damning. In this eye-opening segment, former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to break down the narcissistic theatrics we're seeing in real time as Donna attempts to control the narrative... and fails. We're talking about fake tears, strategic fatigue, and performative eye rolls that jurors cannot ignore. Robin explains how narcissists weaponize emotion, and why Donna's body language is exposing more than her defense ever intended. What does it mean when a woman accused of murder shows more rage at embarrassment than guilt? Why does she go blank-faced when her authority is challenged—and laser-focused when family testifies? This isn't a trial. It's a behavioral unraveling. And it's being documented second by second for a jury that's watching her every move. This segment is your backstage pass to the psychological breakdown of a woman who can't stand being exposed—and may have just sealed her fate by trying to act through it.

The FULL Donna Adelson Extravaganza: FBI Profiler Robin Dreeke Dissects Donna, Wendy & Charlie Adelson's Narcissistic Lives In this explosive deep dive, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, former head of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, joins Hidden Killers Live to unravel the tangled psychology of the Adelson family. At the center of this discussion: Donna Adelson's obsessive control, Charlie Adelson's dangerous insecurities, and Wendy Adelson's revealing slip-ups that pointed investigators toward a murder-for-hire plot. The episode begins with comparisons between Jackie Fulford, Donna's so-called “doppelgänger attorney,” and the broader Adelson pattern of surrounding themselves with mirrors of their own self-image. Dreeke describes this as the classic “echo chamber” — a family environment where validation replaces reality, breeding narcissism, paranoia, and control. From there, the conversation turns to the police interrogation of Dr. Jeffrey Lacoste, Wendy Adelson's ex-boyfriend. His testimony is not only haunting but also deeply telling. Lacoste recalls Wendy confiding that her brother Charlie had “looked into options” for getting rid of Dan Markel. He describes Charlie openly talking about money, hitmen, and how much it would cost — chilling disclosures that made Charlie the first suspect to enter his mind when news of Dan's murder broke. Robin Dreeke dissects Lacoste's credibility, noting his remarkable memory for dates, his consistent disclosure tempo, and his vulnerability as a man still under Wendy's spell. Dreeke explains how narcissistic family systems thrive on manipulation, impulsivity, and a desperate need for external validation — traits seen across Donna, Wendy, and Charlie. The discussion also explores Charlie Adelson's bizarre associations with Green Berets, criminal circles, and the Latin Kings, questioning why a wealthy dentist would gravitate toward such company. Dreeke suggests this was Charlie's way of masking insecurity, rebelling against his mother's dominance, and fabricating an image of power. This is not just a story of one murder — it's a case study in how toxic family dynamics, unchecked narcissism, and impulsive decisions can escalate into tragedy.

FBI Expert Exposes Donna Adelson's Psychological Grip on Her Family Was Donna Adelson the doting grandmother—or the emotional architect of a murder plot? In Part 2 of our conversation with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, we dive into the toxic family dynamic behind the headlines. This isn't just a story about guilt—it's a case study in lifelong emotional programming. Robin reveals how Donna used fear, guilt, and manipulation to control her children—especially Charlie—and why decades of emotional obedience may have played a bigger role in this murder than any wiretap ever could. From Wendy's courtroom defense of her mother (“I don't think you can care too much”) to the gradual unraveling of the Adelson family's loyalty under pressure, this episode breaks down how Donna's influence shaped every decision, every silence, and every betrayal. Why didn't the kids push back? How did Donna blur the lines between control and love? And what happens when the person you've spent your whole life protecting... throws you under the bus? This is psychological warfare, true crime style—and it's happening inside the Adelson family tree. Don't miss this deep dive from Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski.

Ret FBI Chief EXPOSES The Lies Of The Austin Drummond FBI Informant Claim The Austin Drummond case has spiraled from horrifying to surreal. Accused of murdering four members of a family in Lake County, Tennessee, and abandoning a baby in a stranger's yard, Drummond is now spinning a story that he was really a confidential informant for the FBI. According to Drummond, he was recruited to help expose corruption and drug smuggling in Tennessee's prisons. He insists his “cover was blown,” and that he fled not because of guilt, but because his life was in danger. Prosecutors have found no evidence to support this claim. Adding to the chaos are three alleged accomplices: Tanaka Brown, Dearrah Sanders, and Giovonte Thomas. Prosecutors say they provided Drummond with phones, shelter, clothing, and transportation during his weeklong manhunt. Each faces charges of their own. But the bigger question remains: did they believe his story? Or were they knowingly protecting a fugitive accused of slaughtering a family? To unpack all of this, Tony Brueski sits down with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke. From the implausibility of Drummond's informant tale to the psychology of accomplices and manipulation, Robin brings insider expertise to dissect what's real, what's fantasy, and how stories like this are used to confuse, distract, and exploit. This full conversation covers both angles: the informant claim, and the dangerous ripple effects of accomplices pulled into Drummond's orbit. #AustinDrummond #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #FBI #CourtCase #MurderCase #Accomplices #DeathPenalty #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Accused of murdering four members of a family in Lake County, Tennessee, and abandoning a baby in a stranger's yard, Drummond is now spinning a story that he was really a confidential informant for the FBI. According to Drummond, he was recruited to help expose corruption and drug smuggling in Tennessee's prisons. He insists his “cover was blown,” and that he fled not because of guilt, but because his life was in danger. Prosecutors have found no evidence to support this claim. Adding to the chaos are three alleged accomplices: Tanaka Brown, Dearrah Sanders, and Giovonte Thomas. Prosecutors say they provided Drummond with phones, shelter, clothing, and transportation during his weeklong manhunt. Each faces charges of their own. But the bigger question remains: did they believe his story? Or were they knowingly protecting a fugitive accused of slaughtering a family? To unpack all of this, Tony Brueski sits down with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke. From the implausibility of Drummond's informant tale to the psychology of accomplices and manipulation, Robin brings insider expertise to dissect what's real, what's fantasy, and how stories like this are used to confuse, distract, and exploit. This full conversation covers both angles: the informant claim, and the dangerous ripple effects of accomplices pulled into Drummond's orbit. #AustinDrummond #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #FBI #CourtCase #MurderCase #Accomplices #DeathPenalty #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why Did Three People Help the Quadruple Murder Suspect Austin Drummond HIDE? After four people were found dead in Lake County, Tennessee, and a baby was abandoned in a stranger's yard, authorities launched a manhunt for Austin Robert Drummond. But Drummond wasn't hiding alone. Prosecutors say three people — Tanaka Brown, Dearrah Sanders, and Giovonte Thomas — helped him along the way. They allegedly gave him shelter, clothing, phones, and rides, keeping him ahead of police for days. Each now faces their own charges for aiding a fugitive. But here's the question: did they believe his bizarre FBI informant story? Or were they simply protecting a fugitive no matter what? In this segment, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to break down the psychology of accomplices. Robin explains how manipulation works, how people with chaotic personal histories can still recruit others to their cause, and why loyalty, fear, or desperation can override common sense. Were these three co-conspirators? Or were they victims of manipulation themselves — convinced by Drummond's narrative that they were helping someone on a covert mission? Robin explores both sides and exposes how violence radiates outward, pulling people into the destruction long after the crime itself is committed. Watch as we dissect the accomplice angle, and uncover what it tells us about Drummond's power to manipulate, deceive, and control those around him. #AustinDrummond #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #CourtCase #MurderCase #CrimeAnalysis #Accomplices #DeathPenalty #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Austin Drummond's Wild FBI Story — Debunked by Former FBI Chief Austin Robert Drummond, accused of murdering four members of a Tennessee family and abandoning a baby in a stranger's yard, is now spinning a story that's raising eyebrows. According to him, he wasn't a killer at all — he was actually a confidential informant for the FBI. Drummond claims he was recruited to help expose corruption and drug smuggling inside Tennessee's prisons. He insists his “cover” was blown, forcing him to flee — not because he was guilty of murder, but because his life was in danger. It's a story that sounds ripped straight out of a crime thriller. But does it hold any water? In this segment, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to cut through the noise. Drawing on his experience recruiting, managing, and handling confidential informants, Robin explains why Drummond's story doesn't just fall apart — it was never plausible in the first place. From the strict protocols required for informant handling, to the FBI's need for control and reliability, Robin makes it clear: Drummond would be the last person you'd ever want as a source. So is this just another manipulation tactic from a man facing the death penalty? Or could there be a grain of truth to his claim? Robin lays out the reality, showing how narratives like this serve to distract, confuse, and pull focus away from the victims. Watch as we dissect Drummond's so-called FBI defense, and expose why it's far more likely a desperate story than a defense rooted in fact. #AustinDrummond #TrueCrime #FBI #MurderCase #HiddenKillers #CrimeAnalysis #RobinDreeke #CourtCase #DeathPenalty #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Kohberger Unraveling in Prison: Harassment, Missing Food & Denial Bryan Kohberger thought prison might be an extension of his academic world—a place where he'd be studied, analyzed, maybe even respected. Reality hit fast. Within days of arriving on J-Block at Idaho's Maximum Security Institution, Kohberger began filing formal complaints. In his first letter, he begged for a transfer, claiming he was being harassed “minute-by-minute.” In another, he alleged sexual harassment, citing vulgar taunts from inmates. Then came the food grievance, where he demanded missing tray items be replaced per prison nutrition policy. Prison officials responded with blunt indifference: J-Block is calm, B-Block won't be better, and he'll just have to “give it some time.” Meanwhile, inmates taunt him through the vents, turning his life into a daily humiliation. In this full-length conversation, former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to break down every detail of Kohberger's letters. From his bizarrely formal writing style to his total lack of emotional intelligence, Dreeke explains why Kohberger is collapsing behind bars. He isn't brilliant. He isn't special. He's a hollow man unraveling in the one place where intellect, manipulation, and arrogance mean nothing. This is the full breakdown of Bryan Kohberger's prison complaints—and what they reveal about the mind of a murderer who thought he'd control the narrative, but instead has lost control of everything. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #PrisonLetters #PrisonLife #Justice #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #CourtCase #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger BEGS Prison Officials: “I'll B** F*** You” Threats Ignored Bryan Kohberger, convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students, is already unraveling behind bars. Just one day into life on J-Block at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution, Kohberger filed his first prison grievance. He claimed fellow inmates were subjecting him to “minute-by-minute verbal threats and harassment” and begged to be transferred to B-Block. Days later, he filed another complaint, this time alleging sexual harassment. According to Kohberger, inmates targeted him with vulgar threats: “I'll b*** f*** you.” “The only a** we'll be eating is Kohberger's.” Prison officials investigated but denied his request. Their response was blunt: J-Block is generally calm, and he “feels safe to remain” where he is. Translation? Sit tight, Bryan. In this clip, former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to break down Kohberger's complaints. What do these letters really reveal about his psychology? Is this fear, manipulation, or just the collapse of a man who thought he'd be admired in prison but instead has become an object of ridicule? #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #PrisonLife #HiddenKillers #Justice #TrueCrimePodcast #CourtCase #PrisonNews #RobinDreeke Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Kohberger's Bad Week In Prison Part 1 - Taunts, Threats & Exposure As Copy-Cat Bryan Kohberger's first full week inside Idaho's Maximum Security Institution has been anything but quiet. The man convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students is discovering fast that prison life doesn't bend to his ego or his paperwork. Within days, Kohberger began filing complaint letters to prison staff. He claimed he was being subjected to “minute-by-minute verbal threats and harassment,” begging officials for a transfer to B-Block. Days later, he alleged sexual harassment, citing vulgar taunts from fellow inmates. Among the quotes Kohberger himself logged: “I'll b*** f*** you.” “The only a** we'll be eating is Kohberger's.” Prison officials didn't flinch. They told him disruptions are rare, J-Block is calm, and to “give it some time.” Translation? No transfer. No special treatment. Meanwhile, Kohberger's attempts to frame himself as a misunderstood intellectual are collapsing. Experts point out that his prison letters read like academic essays—overly formal, desperate attempts to project control. In reality, they expose him as a copy-cat, a man who studied killers and tried to imitate them, but lacked the intelligence, charisma, or social skills that allowed others to avoid capture. Part One of our deep-dive with former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks down Kohberger's prison complaints, the psychology behind his letters, and why inmates have zero respect for him. Kohberger thought he'd be a subject of fascination. Instead, he's a punchline in J-Block, mocked through the vents and stripped of any illusion of control. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #PrisonLife #HiddenKillers #Justice #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonLetters #CourtCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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?
