American serial killer

Full Interview: FBI Agent Breaks Down Bryan Kohberger's Dark Psychology In this special full-length episode, we bring you the complete conversation with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer on the disturbing psychology of Bryan Kohberger, now convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students. We break the interview into four chapters — each tackling a different piece of the puzzle — and in this combined cut you get the entire discussion uninterrupted. First, we dig into Kohberger's obsession with himself: the shirtless selfies, the mirror shots, the private collection of unconscious women. Investigators said it felt “American Psycho-like,” and the parallels to Patrick Bateman are unsettling. We explore how these weren't just vanity shots, but possible trophies — a ritual of control preserved in his phone. Then, we shift to his Christmas night downloads. Instead of celebrating with family, Kohberger was downloading case files on serial killers — especially Danny Rolling, the Gainesville Ripper. Rolling murdered college students with a Ka-Bar knife in 1990, and investigators called the Idaho murders “almost copycat.” Kohberger's violent porn searches that night, paired with his Rolling obsession, paint a portrait of emulation and escalation. Next, we examine the forensics and chaos of the crime scene. Kohberger studied Bundy and Rolling, imagining control, but what he found in Moscow was chaos: multiple victims, screams, resistance, unexpected encounters. Did he spiral from calculation into rage? We look at how forensic reconstruction dismantles the “mastermind” myth and exposes a killer driven by anger, not genius. Finally, we address the red flags and family dynamics. Professors saw it coming. Classmates felt it. He applied to Pullman Police, raising questions about infiltration. His father once turned him in for theft, later drove him cross-country, but didn't show up for sentencing. His mother was his lifeline, hours of calls after the murders. The family story adds another layer of complexity to an already chilling case. Taken together, these segments show a man obsessed with image, fascinated with legacy, consumed by rage, and propped up by family ties both strained and enabling. This is the full Coffindaffer breakdown — a complete psychological portrait of Bryan Kohberger.

Bryan Kohberger's Calls to “Mother” and Christmas Day Serial Killer Search EXPOSED Within hours of the Idaho student murders, Bryan Kohberger called his mother — not once, but repeatedly — for conversations totaling over three hours that day. He addressed his parents formally as “Mother” and “Father,” even texting, “Father, why is Mother not answering?” Was this routine? Desperation? Or an emotional tether to the only people who might never question him? Weeks later, on Christmas Day, Kohberger sat down and researched more than 20 serial killers — with a particular focus on Danny Rolling, the Gainesville Ripper. Rolling's crimes bore unsettling similarities to the Idaho murders: KA-BAR knife, sliding-door entry, and a focus on college students. By then, Kohberger had been stopped twice on his drive home, was gloving up to bag trash, and knew police were looking for his car. Was this paranoia-driven damage control, or a compulsive “copycat” study session? Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to connect these two behaviors. From emotional anchors and routine-seeking to mimicry of notorious killers, we explore how Kohberger's post-crime actions reveal a man more concerned with validation and borrowed identity than originality. #BryanKohberger #Idaho4 #DannyRolling #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #CriminalPsychology #SerialKillerResearch #IdahoMurders #BehavioralAnalysis 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?

Kohberger's Creepy Christmas Night Obsession with Danny Rolling EXPOSED On Christmas night 2022, while families gathered around trees, Bryan Kohberger was at his computer. Instead of holiday cheer, investigators later discovered he was downloading files about Danny Rolling — the Gainesville Ripper, who in 1990 murdered five college students with a Ka-Bar knife after breaking into their apartments. Kohberger didn't just glance at the story. He saved it. Twice. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer walks us through the significance of that moment. Kohberger had already been caught obsessively looking up serial killers, but the overlap with Rolling is striking. Both targeted college students. Both used the same style of knife. Both entered through sliding doors. Investigators even described Kohberger's crime as “almost copycat.” But that night wasn't just about Rolling. Kohberger also searched for violent pornography, with terms like “sleeping” and “voyeur,” fantasies that echoed Rolling's own fixation on unconscious victims. Was Kohberger simply curious? Or was he building a playbook? We also explore the theories about crime scene staging. Rolling staged his victims. Did Kohberger intend to do the same before the scene spiraled out of control? Did the sheer chaos of four victims derail a plan he thought he could manage? This segment pulls apart what those Christmas downloads really mean: not just obsession, but alignment.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Kohberger's Creepy Christmas Night Obsession with Danny Rolling EXPOSED On Christmas night 2022, while families gathered around trees, Bryan Kohberger was at his computer. Instead of holiday cheer, investigators later discovered he was downloading files about Danny Rolling — the Gainesville Ripper, who in 1990 murdered five college students with a Ka-Bar knife after breaking into their apartments. Kohberger didn't just glance at the story. He saved it. Twice. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer walks us through the significance of that moment. Kohberger had already been caught obsessively looking up serial killers, but the overlap with Rolling is striking. Both targeted college students. Both used the same style of knife. Both entered through sliding doors. Investigators even described Kohberger's crime as “almost copycat.” But that night wasn't just about Rolling. Kohberger also searched for violent pornography, with terms like “sleeping” and “voyeur,” fantasies that echoed Rolling's own fixation on unconscious victims. Was Kohberger simply curious? Or was he building a playbook? We also explore the theories about crime scene staging. Rolling staged his victims. Did Kohberger intend to do the same before the scene spiraled out of control? Did the sheer chaos of four victims derail a plan he thought he could manage? This segment pulls apart what those Christmas downloads really mean: not just obsession, but alignment. Kohberger wasn't just reading Rolling. He was comparing himself to him.

Why Kohberger Was A Copy-Cat Killer Of The Gainesville Ripper, Danny Rolling! On Christmas night 2022, while most people were celebrating with family, Bryan Kohberger sat at his computer downloading files about one of the most infamous serial killers in American history: Danny Rolling, the Gainesville Ripper. Investigators later revealed that Kohberger, the criminology PhD student accused of murdering four University of Idaho students, had searched for and saved Rolling's case materials just weeks after the killings. The chilling overlap between the two cases raises the disturbing question: was Kohberger emulating Rolling? Danny Rolling's 1990 spree terrorized Gainesville, Florida. He broke into student apartments through sliding glass doors, used a KA-BAR style knife, and killed five college students in just four days. His crimes involved extreme violence, staging, and psychological domination. Rolling later confessed, citing rage and a craving for infamy, even comparing himself to Ted Bundy. He was executed in 2006, but not before leaving behind a legacy of fear—and a case study for future criminology. Kohberger's alleged crime in Moscow, Idaho, echoes Rolling's blueprint in unsettling ways. He's accused of entering a student home at night through a sliding door, wielding a KA-BAR knife, and stabbing four students to death. Digital forensics confirmed Kohberger had an obsessive interest in serial killers, downloading more than 20 case files on Christmas night alone. Among them, Rolling appeared twice—suggesting Kohberger wasn't just browsing, he was studying. Experts called the Idaho murders “almost copycat” of the Gainesville Ripper, save for one difference: there was no evidence of S-A in Idaho. The psychological parallels are striking. Rolling was fueled by rage, narcissism, and a desire for control. Kohberger, though not accused of S-A, displayed his own narcissism and obsession: endless selfies, near-constant calls to his parents saved only as “Mother” and “Father,” and a digital library of crime. Both stalked their victims—Rolling from the shadows, Kohberger through social media and late-night drives around the victims' home. Both believed they could outsmart investigators. And both made the one mistake that brought them down: Rolling left DNA at his scenes, Kohberger left a knife sheath with his own. In this episode, we dig into the eerie Rolling-Kohberger connection. Was Kohberger modeling his crime on Rolling's? Or was it a darker coincidence born of obsession and academic curiosity? Either way, the echoes are too loud to ignore. From the sliding doors to the KA-BAR knife, from the college town setting to the post-crime obsession with their own cases, the parallels between Danny Rolling and Bryan Kohberger paint a picture of a killer who may have been chasing not just blood, but legacy. Join us as we explore the psychological link between the Gainesville Ripper and Bryan Kohberger, a case that shows how the shadow of one murderer can reach decades forward, inspiring another to follow the same grim path.

“Mark My Word” – Professor's SHOCKING EARLY Prediction About Bryan Kohberger EXPOSED! The latest document release in the Bryan Kohberger case pulls back the curtain on unsettling private details investigators uncovered — and they paint a darker picture than we've seen before. According to newly unsealed police files, Kohberger's phone contained just 18 contacts. Many weren't even names — they were cryptic, impersonal labels like “girl I ran with,” “second girl I ran with,” and “hair.” Outside of “Mother,” “Father,” and sister, there was almost no sign of a social circle. Investigators noted the eerie absence of communication with anyone beyond his immediate family. Even more chilling is an email from a Washington State University criminology professor, sent months before the murders, warning colleagues: “Mark my word… if we give him a Ph.D., that's the guy… we will hear is harassing, stalking, and sexually abusing.” That kind of blunt, predictive language about a graduate student is almost unheard of — and now feels haunting. Digital forensics dug deeper. Despite attempts to wipe his phone, investigators recovered search terms involving non-consensual acts — “forced,” “sleeping,” and worse — stored in autofill data. And on Christmas Day 2022, just six weeks after the killings, Kohberger downloaded files on more than twenty notorious serial killers, including Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and Danny Rolling, the Gainesville Ripper. Rolling's crimes — knife attacks on college students in their homes — are eerily similar to the Moscow murders. Then there's the photo roll. No crime scene images. No pictures of victims. Just countless shirtless mirror selfies and saved images of scantily clad women, none of which were shared. Detectives compared the vanity and self-focus to American Psycho's Patrick Bateman — a man in love with his own reflection. This isn't the evidence that convicted him. But these are the details that show the mindset behind the crimes — isolation, obsession, and a disturbing inner world now laid bare. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #AmericanPsycho #WSU #SerialKillers #Criminology #CrimeNews #TrueCrimeCommunity #IdahoFour Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Aeman opens up about the pain and trauma of his upbringing, the influences that shaped his descent into violence, and the regret he carries every day.

He talks openly about his early life in Chicago, his attempts to pursue a professional life in acting, and the psychotic break that led to a series of brutal murders in the Atlanta area. Aeman walks listeners through his inner monologue before the killings, the warped logic he believed justified his actions, and the moment of psychological rupture when the “demon” within took over.
