Podcast appearances and mentions of Katherine Ramsland

Kohberger Big Breakdown – Katherine Ramsland & The Witness List Before the case ever reached a plea deal, there was one name on Bryan Kohberger's defense witness list that raised every eyebrow in true crime: Dr. Katherine Ramsland. Ramsland isn't just any expert. She's a forensic psychologist, bestselling author, and was Kohberger's criminology professor at DeSales University. She also worked directly with the BTK killer, Dennis Rader. Her inclusion signaled that the defense was preparing to lean into Kohberger's background in criminal psychology—maybe even to argue a behavioral or diminished-capacity angle. But here's the twist: Ramsland publicly distanced herself. She said she never expected to be a witness, and never saw violent tendencies in Kohberger. That raises the question—why was her name there in the first place? In this episode, we break down what her inclusion says about the defense's early strategy. Were they gearing up to humanize Kohberger? Paint him as a misunderstood academic? Use his background in criminal behavior as a shield instead of a sword? We explore how the plea deal cut off any courtroom appearance by Ramsland—and why that might have been intentional. This is the psychological warfare of trial strategy: what you signal, what you threaten, and what you never have to prove. Her name may never be called, but it says a lot about the narrative they wanted in play.

Will Anyone Get Inside The Brain Of Bryan Kohberger To Explain His Evil Deeds? Description: Bryan Kohberger may have pled guilty, but the bigger question still lingers—why did he do it? In this chilling episode, defense attorney Bob Motta explores whether we'll ever truly get inside Kohberger's mind to understand what drove him to murder four innocent students. Is it even possible to decode someone like Kohberger? Or is he destined to remain a psychological cipher—studied, speculated about, and ultimately unknowable? We explore the possibility of post-sentencing psychological evaluations, whether Kohberger will ever cooperate, and if academic figures like Dr. Katherine Ramsland (his former professor) could eventually unlock something meaningful. Motta also breaks down what defense attorneys observe in these kinds of defendants—what's real, what's performative, and what's dangerously misleading. This isn't just a legal discussion. It's an exploration of evil, mental illness, and the limits of forensic psychology. #BryanKohberger #KohbergerPsychology #CriminalMind #TrueCrimePodcast #BobMotta #HiddenKillers #PsychologicalProfile #SerialKillerStudy #KohbergerTrial #JusticeForTheVictims

How Kohberger Fooled His Professor: Inside the Katherine Ramsland Interview In this compelling episode, we break down the explosive July 1 interview on NewsNation, where investigative reporter Brian Entin sits down with renowned forensic psychologist and former DeSales University professor Dr. Katherine Ramsland, the very woman who taught—and now admits—she was completely fooled by Bryan Kohberger during his criminology studies. For years, Ramsland described Kohberger as a model student: respectful, intelligent, curious—even one she imagined leaving a positive mark on the field. Yet, the man who walked through her classroom doors is the same one who allegedly murdered four University of Idaho students. What we cover in this episode: Ramsland's shock and self-reflection: Hear how her world was rocked, as she questions whether her own teachings may have inadvertently inspired Kohberger—and what that means for professors across the country. tiktok.com+3tiktok.com+3youtube.com+3x.com+6the-sun.com+6nypost.com+6 How he deceived the expert: We unpack what Ramsland says he did right—and how he kept his dark motives hidden beneath a veneer of respectability and academic curiosity. The missing motive: Without a full motive in the plea deal, Ramsland is left with questions—questions only someone who knew him personally could ask. We explore what they are and how far Ramsland plans to go in uncovering the truth. the-sun.com+1nypost.com+1 No sugarcoating, no fluff: This is a real-time psychological autopsy—from the initial arrest to the plea—and how a killer can hide in plain sight under the guise of a model student.

Dennis Rader, the self-proclaimed "BTK" killer—short for "Bind, Torture, Kill"—terrified Wichita and Park City, Kansas, for nearly two decades. But behind the mask of a monstrous mastermind was a man whose crimes were riddled with laughable mistakes, sloppy execution, and a bizarre craving for attention. In this episode, we dismantle the myth of BTK as a criminal genius and reveal the truth: Dennis Rader wasn't brilliant—he was a bungler. Tune in as we unravel the twisted, error-filled path of one of America's most incompetent, yet still deadly, serial killers.   Sources: Once Upon a Crime - Patreon Bonus: BTK Blunders, April 26, 2023 Confessions of a Serial Killer: The Untold Story of Dennis Rader, The BTK Killer, Katherine Ramsland, PhD, ForeEdge Books, 2016.    Sponsors:  Gabb Mobile - gabb.com/once  Spot & Tango - spotandtango.com/once La Pure - All thriller, no filler!

Did Bryan Kohberger Kill to Impress His Professor FBI Profiler Robin Dreeke Breaks It Down In this gripping episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dives into one of the most bizarre and controversial theories in the Bryan Kohberger case: the idea that Kohberger may have committed the murders of four University of Idaho students to impress his former professor, Dr. Katherine Ramsland. This theory, reported by journalist Howard Blum, has drawn comparisons to John Hinckley Jr.'s attempted assassination of President Reagan to impress actress Jodie Foster. But is it psychologically plausible? Dreeke, who once led the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, brings his deep expertise in motive, delusion, and high-risk behavioral patterns to break down the facts. Could Kohberger's academic obsession with serial killers have blurred the line between research and reality? Did he see his alleged crime as a twisted form of validation from a mentor he idolized? We explore how common—or rare—this type of motive actually is, what kind of psychological markers are typically present, and what kind of evidence investigators would need to verify such a theory in court. Dreeke also explains why the absence of hard proof doesn't necessarily mean the theory is wrong—it just makes it legally dangerous to rely on it without corroboration. Whether you believe the "impress the professor" theory or not, Dreeke helps cut through the noise to reveal what behaviors actually matter in assessing this case. This is a must-watch for anyone trying to understand the psychology behind one of the most confusing and disturbing alleged motives in recent true crime history.

Criminal psychologist, professor, and author Dr. Katherine Ramsland joins Karen Conti to talk about women who fall in love with notorious inmates.

From Student to Suspect Did Kohberger Turn Ramsland's Teachings into Murder Could Bryan Kohberger have transformed from criminology student to accused killer as a way to "show his work" to a professor he idolized? That's the chilling theory raised by journalist Howard Blum—and in this episode of Hidden Killers, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke is here to dig into it. Dr. Katherine Ramsland, Kohberger's former professor and one of the foremost experts on serial killers, has never commented publicly on her former student. But Blum's reporting alleges that Kohberger emailed her before and after the murders—and that the killings may have been a twisted performance piece to earn her intellectual admiration. Dreeke brings his behavioral profiling expertise to dissect this theory. What kind of mindset does it take to commit a quadruple homicide as a form of symbolic achievement? And what role does ego—particularly in academically driven narcissists—play in escalating obsession into violence? Together, we examine whether Kohberger was trying to become the embodiment of what he studied. Was he staging a real-life case to rival those in Ramsland's books?

From Student to Suspect Did Kohberger Turn Ramsland's Teachings into Murder Could Bryan Kohberger have transformed from criminology student to accused killer as a way to "show his work" to a professor he idolized? That's the chilling theory raised by journalist Howard Blum—and in this episode of Hidden Killers, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke is here to dig into it. Dr. Katherine Ramsland, Kohberger's former professor and one of the foremost experts on serial killers, has never commented publicly on her former student. But Blum's reporting alleges that Kohberger emailed her before and after the murders—and that the killings may have been a twisted performance piece to earn her intellectual admiration. Dreeke brings his behavioral profiling expertise to dissect this theory. What kind of mindset does it take to commit a quadruple homicide as a form of symbolic achievement? And what role does ego—particularly in academically driven narcissists—play in escalating obsession into violence? Together, we examine whether Kohberger was trying to become the embodiment of what he studied. Was he staging a real-life case to rival those in Ramsland's books? Or was it something even darker—a final exam, so to speak, intended to impress the very person who taught him how to analyze the criminal mind?

“Murder for Mentorship FBI Profiler Explores Kohberger's Alleged Obsession with Ramsland” Was the motive for one of the most haunting mass killings in recent history not rage, not revenge—but academic admiration? In this exclusive interview, Tony Brueski sits down with former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to dissect the Howard Blum theory that Bryan Kohberger may have murdered four students as a twisted gesture to impress his former criminology professor, Dr. Katherine Ramsland. This theory has captivated and unsettled the public, offering a motive that feels ripped straight from a psychological thriller. But Dreeke—who specialized in decoding human behavior and threat assessments—helps bring it back down to earth. What would it take, behaviorally, for someone to develop that kind of obsessive admiration? And does Kohberger's background support such a profile? We examine Ramsland's influence in Kohberger's academic career, the behavioral patterns that suggest fixation, and how rare it actually is for a student to turn to violence in a bid for academic approval. Dreeke also weighs in on the kind of evidence—emails, journals, statements—that would be required to take this theory from “clickbait” to courtroom credibility. This episode doesn't just theorize—it dissects, challenges, and investigates. If you've been following the Kohberger case and wondering how credible the Ramsland motive theory really is, you won't want to miss this deeply informed discussion.

Kohberger's motive linked to his Professor Dr. Katherine Ramsland? #kohberger #drramsland #motivetion In this video, we dive into the latest developments in the Bryan Kohberger case and explore a shocking theory that could change everything. Is it possible that Kohberger's dark secret is tied to Dr. Ramsland, a renowned expert in forensic psychology? Join us as we examine the evidence and unravel the mysteries surrounding this high-profile case.

Did Bryan Kohberger Kill to Impress His Professor, Dr. Katherine Ramsland? Howard Blum Thinks So In this episode, Tony Brueski takes a deep dive into one of the most unsettling and psychologically complex theories in the Bryan Kohberger case: the claim that the murders were committed as a twisted attempt to impress his former professor, Dr. Katherine Ramsland. This idea, originally reported by Howard Blum, suggests that Kohberger—a criminology PhD student with an intense academic background in serial killer studies—may have crossed the line between student and subject. Using the three-part narrative breakdown, we explore the factual history between Kohberger and Ramsland, the reported but unconfirmed communications, and the chilling psychological theory that this was Kohberger's way of saying, "Look what I can do." If true, this would place Kohberger's motive in a rare psychological category: admiration-fueled symbolic violence. This wasn't about revenge. It wasn't about the victims. It may have been about validation—from someone who had no idea she was being idolized. Is this theory fact or just media myth? Join Tony as he dissects the known facts, separates evidence from rumor, and lays out the case for and against this deeply disturbing motive.

From the archives: 12-31-22In the wake of Bryan Kohberger's arrest, we are now hearing from former friends, classmates and colleagues about the man who is accused of the heinous murder of four college students while they slept in their beds. Were their any warning signs or redflags that were missed?Let's dive in and see what those who knew him have to say.(commercial at 11:13)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Idaho Murders: ‘Detached' Suspect Bryan Kohberger Studied Under Famed Criminologist (thedailybeast.com)

From 1970 to 1973, young boys began going missing in Houston Heights, Texas. Police dismissed them as runaways, unaware that the man responsible for their disappearances was one of America's most prolific and horrific serial killers: Dean Corll.

“[This] is one of the great crime mysteries of modern times. It took an author of Caitlin Rother's caliber to bring it into sharp focus. A riveting read.”—Gregg Olsen, #1 New York Times bestselling author“I got a girl, hung herself in the guest house.”The call came on the morning of July 13, 2011, from the historic Spreckels Mansion, a lavish beachfront property in Coronado, California, owned by pharmaceutical tycoon and multimillionaire Jonah Shacknai. When authorities arrived, they found the naked body of Jonah's girlfriend, Rebecca Zahau, gagged, her ankles tied and her wrists bound behind her. Jonah's brother, Adam, claimed to have found Rebecca hanging by a rope from the second-floor balcony. On a bedroom door in black paint were the cryptic words:SHE SAVED HIM CAN YOU SAVE HER.Was this scrawled message a suicide note or a killer's taunt? Rebecca's death came two days after Jonah's six-year-old son, Max, took a devastating fall while in Rebecca's care. Authorities deemed Rebecca's death a suicide resulting from her guilt. But who would stage either a suicide ora murder in such a bizarre, elaborate way?Award-winning investigative journalist Caitlin Rother weaves stunning new details into a personal yet objective examination of the sensational case. She explores its many layers—including the civil suit in which a jury found Adam Shacknai responsible for Rebecca's death, and the San Diego County Sheriff's Department bombshell decision to reconfirm its original findings. As compelling as it is troubling, this controversial real-life mystery is a classic American tragedy that evokes the same haunting fascination as the JonBenet Ramsey and O.J. Simpson cases.“Rother's meticulous journalism shines through in this authoritative account of the Rebecca Zahau death incident. If you think you know this case, think again. And read this book.”—Katherine Ramsland, professor of forensic psychology and author of The Psychology of Death InvestigationsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
