Unsealed forensic filings from the Bryan Kohberger case reveal devastating new details about what happened inside the King Road house on November 13, 2022 — including evidence that one victim's fight for survival may have been what brought down her killer.Xana Kernodle was stabbed 67 times. That number alone is staggering, but the context makes it more significant. Kaylee Goncalves sustained 38 wounds, Madison Mogen 28, and Ethan Chapin 17. Xana's wound count exceeds the other three combined. And unlike her roommates, Xana had blood on the bottoms of her bare feet — the only victim who moved after the attack began.Blood pattern analysis found traces of Kaylee and Maddie's blood on the stairwell and bannister leading from the third floor to the second. Since both women never stood up, investigators believe Xana went upstairs, encountered Kohberger mid-attack, and fled with him pursuing her. Police documented an intense struggle and defensive wounds between her fingers, with injuries extending into the bones of her hand. Kaylee's sister called Xana a hero — and the evidence supports that.Prosecutors now believe her fight caused Kohberger to leave behind the DNA-laden knife sheath that cracked the case.Also today: Idaho State Police released 2,800 crime scene photos last week, then removed them hours later after giving families less than 15 minutes' notice. A court order was supposed to prevent this. We break down what happened and why no one's been held accountable.#BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #XanaKernodle #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #EthanChapin #Autopsy #ForensicEvidence #TrueCrimeToday #CrimeScenePhotosJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A professor warned colleagues that Bryan Kohberger would become a predator. Female students created informal warning systems to avoid being alone with him. At least 13 formal complaints were filed about his stalking, harassment, and predatory behavior in a single semester. And Washington State University allegedly did nothing.The families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin have taken their lawsuit against WSU to federal court. The allegation: the university had threat assessment protocols in place, received documented warnings from faculty and students, and allowed Kohberger to keep his position, housing, and salary until four people were dead.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer analyzes what this case reveals about institutional negligence — what it means when a community develops its own protective protocols because the institution won't act, how documented internal foreknowledge affects civil liability, and what discovery in federal court might expose.#BryanKohberger #WSULawsuit #IdahoMurders #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #TitleIX #JenniferCoffindaffer #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The forensic details from the Idaho student murders are finally public — and what they reveal about Xana Kernodle's final moments is both heartbreaking and remarkable.New court filings show the wound counts for all four victims: Kaylee Goncalves sustained 38 sharp-force wounds, Madison Mogen 28, Ethan Chapin 17, and Xana Kernodle 67. Xana took more wounds than the other three combined. But the autopsy findings go further. Kaylee, Maddie, and Ethan had no blood on their feet — they never stood up. Xana did. Blood on the bottoms of her bare feet proves she moved during the attack.Investigators found blood from the third-floor victims on the stairwell and bannister leading to the second floor. Since Kaylee and Maddie never stood, someone else carried that blood down. The evidence points to Xana encountering Kohberger upstairs, then fleeing — with him chasing her. Police documented defensive wounds between her fingers and cuts to the bones of her hand. She grabbed the blade. She fought until she couldn't anymore.Prosecutors believe her resistance is why Kohberger left behind the knife sheath that contained his DNA — the break that solved the case.We also cover Idaho State Police releasing nearly 2,800 crime scene photos last week, then pulling them hours later. The families had less than 15 minutes' warning — despite a court order already in place. What went wrong, and why hasn't anyone been held accountable?#BryanKohberger #XanaKernodle #IdahoMurders #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #EthanChapin #TrueCrime #Autopsy #CrimeScenePhotos #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

"Mark my words — if we give him a Ph.D., that's the guy that in that many years when he is a professor, we will hear is harassing, stalking, and sexually abusing his students."That's what a WSU professor reportedly told colleagues about Bryan Kohberger while he was still on campus. Female students and staff developed informal warning systems — alerting each other when he was present, arranging escorts after 5 p.m., leaving doors open because they feared being trapped alone with him. At least 13 formal complaints were filed about his behavior in one semester.The families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin have moved their lawsuit against Washington State University to federal court. The claim: the university had threat assessment protocols, received documented warnings, and allowed Kohberger to keep his position, housing, and salary until four people were murdered ten miles from campus.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer analyzes what this lawsuit exposes about institutional failure — what documented internal foreknowledge means for civil liability, what the move to federal jurisdiction changes, and what discovery might reveal about how badly WSU failed.#BryanKohberger #WSULawsuit #IdahoMurders #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #TitleIX #InstitutionalFailure #JenniferCoffindafferJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Idaho has become America's true crime epicenter—and the state's lawmakers are finally waking up to a disturbing reality. A judge in Bryan Kohberger's case confirmed in November 2025 that under current law, Kohberger could potentially profit from book deals, streaming rights, and paid interviews within just five years of conviction. The judge stated the statute "leaves open the potential for Defendant to receive money from media contracts in the future." For the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, that's a nightmare scenario they never should have had to contemplate. This week, State Senator Tammy Nichols introduced legislation to modernize Idaho's nearly 50-year-old Son of Sam law—a statute that hasn't been updated since 1978, when David Berkowitz terrorized New York City and publishers lined up to pay him for his story. The Supreme Court gutted most of these laws in 1991. Idaho never fixed theirs. The new bill addresses digital monetization, streaming platforms, podcasts, and ongoing royalties—none of which existed when the original law was written. It unanimously advanced out of committee for a public hearing. But Kohberger isn't the only case exposing the problem. Lori Vallow Daybell owes over $700,000 in restitution to the families of JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan—money she'll never pay. Chad Daybell's self-published doomsday novels may still be generating income somewhere. In this episode, we break down the full history of Son of Sam laws, why the Supreme Court struck them down, how Idaho's current statute fails victims, and what the new legislation actually does. Idaho became a true crime epicenter by accident.

Under current Idaho law, convicted killers like Bryan Kohberger and Lori Vallow Daybell could potentially profit from book deals, streaming rights, and paid interviews within just five years. A judge in Kohberger's case confirmed it in November 2025, stating the statute "leaves open the potential for Defendant to receive money from media contracts in the future." Idaho's Son of Sam law hasn't been meaningfully updated since 1978—before streaming platforms, podcasts, or digital monetization existed. The Supreme Court gutted most of these laws in 1991, and Idaho never bothered to fix theirs. Until now. State Senator Tammy Nichols introduced legislation this week to modernize the statute, addressing the digital media landscape that didn't exist when the original law was written after David Berkowitz terrorized New York City and publishers lined up to pay him for his story. The bill unanimously advanced out of committee for a public hearing. For the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, this represents the bare minimum of accountability after losing their children to alleged violence. But Kohberger isn't the only case exposing Idaho's failures. Lori Vallow Daybell owes over $700,000 in restitution to the families of JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan—money she'll never pay. Chad Daybell's self-published doomsday novels may still be generating income somewhere. In this episode, we break down the full history of Son of Sam laws, why the Supreme Court struck them down, how Idaho's current statute fails victims, and what the new legislation actually does.

In November 2025, Judge Steven Hippler said the quiet part out loud: Idaho's current Son of Sam law "leaves open the potential for Defendant to receive money from media contracts in the future." Bryan Kohberger — the man who confessed to stabbing Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin to death — could legally profit from telling his story within five years.This week, Idaho lawmakers finally moved to fix it. Senator Tammy Nichols introduced legislation to modernize the state's 48-year-old statute, and the bill unanimously advanced out of committee. Representative Elaine Price — whose district includes three of the victims' hometowns — co-sponsored it, saying: "Victims should not feel continually victimized."The numbers are infuriating. Kohberger owes over $300,000 in fines and fees. Restitution to the families totals about $32,000. While awaiting trial, he received more than $28,000 in donations to his jail account. Meanwhile, the Goncalves and Mogen families were left arguing in court over who should pay for their daughters' urns — a dispute over roughly $3,000.Idaho's current law was written in 1978. It doesn't mention podcasts. It doesn't mention streaming platforms. It doesn't account for social media monetization or ongoing royalties. The true crime industry generates hundreds of millions of dollars annually, and Idaho's law is stuck in the era of evening news broadcasts.The new bill addresses digital monetization, extends escrow periods by court order, and includes First Amendment protections to survive constitutional challenges. It focuses on profit, not speech. But the clock is already ticking. The families of Kaylee, Maddie, Xana, and Ethan deserve better than a legal system playing catch-up.We break down exactly what's in the bill, what it means for Kohberger, and why this fight is far from over.#BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #SonOfSamLaw #MoscowIdaho #UniversityOfIdaho #Justice4IdahoJoin 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 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?

Two different systems allegedly failed to act on clear warning signs. One was an institution. The other was a family. Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke analyzes both in this extended interview—and explains what these cases reveal about how we recognize danger, and why we so often fail to respond. On the Kohberger case: The families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin have sued Washington State University for gross negligence and wrongful death. The lawsuit alleges WSU received 13 formal complaints about Bryan Kohberger's threatening and predatory behavior during the fall 2022 semester. Faculty allegedly predicted he would sexually abuse students if given a PhD. Staff created informal "911" alerts. Women needed security escorts. Robin—who spent 21 years with the FBI including as Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—explains what those complaints should have triggered operationally and why institutions prioritize liability over safety. On the Reiner case: Nick Reiner was under LPS conservatorship in 2020, overseen by a professional fiduciary. It wasn't renewed. His medication was reportedly changed a month before his parents were found dead. Robin analyzes how someone manipulates institutional gatekeepers, how families lose threat perception over decades of managing mental illness and addiction, and what it means that Rob Reiner publicly regretted listening to professionals instead of Nick. Two failures. Two mechanisms. One conversation about the cost of inaction.#BryanKohberger #NickReiner #RobReiner #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #WSULawsuit #FBI #RobinDreeke #InstitutionalFailure #FamilyDynamicsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin are suing Washington State University for allegedly knowing Bryan Kohberger was dangerous and doing nothing. Thirteen complaints in one semester. Security escorts for terrified women. A professor who warned colleagues he'd become a predator. And according to the lawsuit, WSU's biggest concern was getting sued by the stalker. We're answering your questions — and connecting this case to two others that expose the same systemic rot. Nick Reiner allegedly killed his parents Rob and Michele after years of failed rehab, a schizophrenia diagnosis, and a mental health system that couldn't contain what everyone saw coming. Michael McKee allegedly drove 300 miles to murder his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer — a seven-month marriage that became an eight-year obsession because domestic violence protections couldn't stop a man who decided his ex couldn't be happy. Three cases. Three different failures. Universities that don't act. Mental health systems that don't intervene. Restraining orders that don't protect. Your questions about Title IX, enabling, coercive control, and what accountability actually looks like when institutions choose self-preservation over the people they're supposed to serve.#BryanKohberger #WSULawsuit #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #NickReiner #MichaelMcKee #InstitutionalFailure #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Breaking down the new wrongful death lawsuit against Washington State University. The families of the four Idaho murder victims — Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin — have filed a 126-page suit alleging WSU knew Bryan Kohberger was a threat and failed to act. The allegations are staggering: thirteen formal complaints in three months, female students needing security escorts, staff creating secret warning systems, and a professor who allegedly predicted Kohberger would become a predator. According to the lawsuit, WSU's response was internal hand-wringing and fear of getting sued by Kohberger himself. We break down the key allegations, the Title IX implications, and whether this case settles or goes to discovery. The victims weren't even WSU students — they attended University of Idaho and were killed in Moscow. Does WSU argue they had no duty to students at another school? What happens when those internal emails see daylight? And what does accountability actually look like when four kids are dead because an institution allegedly chose self-protection over student safety? This is institutional failure laid bare.#BryanKohberger #WSULawsuit #IdahoMurders #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #TrueCrimeToday #TitleIX #BreakingNewsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
A professor allegedly told colleagues to "mark my words" — if they gave Bryan Kohberger a PhD, he'd eventually stalk and abuse students. Thirteen complaints filed in one semester. Women so scared they needed security escorts to their cars. And according to a new lawsuit, WSU's biggest concern was getting sued by the stalker, not protecting the students he was allegedly terrorizing. The families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin have filed a 126-page wrongful death suit against Washington State University, and the allegations are devastating. We're breaking down your questions: How do thirteen complaints result in nothing? What does Title IX actually require? Why was Kohberger finally fired right around the time of the murders — and what changed? The lawsuit reveals staff created secret email chains to warn each other when he was around. Students kept a tally board of his discriminatory comments. He was literally studying sexually motivated burglars while allegedly exhibiting predatory behavior himself. And four kids who didn't even attend WSU are dead because this university allegedly looked the other way. We discuss whether this case settles or goes to discovery, what Steve Goncalves is really fighting for, and whether lawsuits like this ever actually change institutional behavior.#BryanKohberger #WSULawsuit #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #IdahoFour #WashingtonStateUniversity #HiddenKillers #InstitutionalFailureJoin 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 to break down the bombshell lawsuit against Washington State University. Four families — the parents of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin — are suing WSU for allegedly knowing Bryan Kohberger was dangerous and doing nothing to stop him. The 126-page filing alleges thirteen complaints in one semester, security escorts for terrified female students, professors warning colleagues about Kohberger's predatory behavior, and a supervisor more worried about getting sued by the stalker than protecting women on campus. We're answering your questions in real time: How does an institution ignore this many red flags? Does WSU's defense hinge on the victims being University of Idaho students killed off-campus? What happens if this goes to discovery and those internal emails come out? We'll also discuss what the families are really fighting for — is it money, accountability, or forcing WSU to admit what they knew on the record? Bring your questions, your theories, and your takes. This is the kind of case that exposes how institutions protect themselves at the expense of the people they're supposed to serve.#BryanKohberger #WSULawsuit #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #LiveStream #TitleIX #HiddenKillersLive #UniversityAccountabilityJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin have filed a 126-page wrongful death lawsuit against Washington State University — and the allegations paint a picture of institutional failure at every level. Thirteen formal complaints against Bryan Kohberger in a single semester. Female students so terrified they needed security escorts to their vehicles. Staff creating secret email systems to warn each other when he was on the move. A professor who allegedly predicted he would become a stalker and abuser if given a PhD. And according to this lawsuit, WSU's primary concern was getting sued by Kohberger, not protecting the women he was allegedly terrorizing. We're answering your questions about how this many red flags get ignored, what Title IX actually requires, and why Kohberger was finally terminated right around the time of the murders. The victims didn't even attend WSU — they were University of Idaho students killed eight miles away. Does that matter legally? We also discuss whether this lawsuit is about money, accountability, or forcing the truth onto the public record. Steve Goncalves has made clear he wants answers.

Today on True Crime Today, we're examining two cases that demand accountability—one from a jury, one from an institution—with former felony prosecutor turned defense attorney Eric Faddis. In Columbus, Dr. Michael McKee faces aggravated murder charges for allegedly executing Monique Tepe and Richard Tepe in their home while their children slept feet away. Police recovered what they say is the murder weapon from McKee's Chicago apartment eleven days later. His alibi reportedly collapsed. But McKee has resources and a defense team looking for every weakness. Faddis breaks down what prosecutors must prove and where the defense will attack—from chain of custody challenges to the absence of eyewitnesses in a circumstantial case. In Washington, the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin are suing WSU over Bryan Kohberger. According to their 126-page lawsuit, 13 formal complaints were filed against Kohberger during his single semester as a teaching assistant. Women requested security escorts. Staff created warning systems. A professor allegedly predicted he'd abuse students. The families claim the murders were "foreseeable and preventable." Faddis analyzes the Title IX violations, gross negligence claims, and what this lawsuit could mean for institutional liability nationwide.#TepeMurders #MichaelMcKee #BryanKohberger #WSULawsuit #KayleeGoncalves #MoniqueTepe #TrueCrimeToday #EricFaddis #AggravatedMurder #TitleIXJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
This week on Hidden Killers, we're examining two cases demanding legal accountability—one criminal, one civil—with former felony prosecutor turned defense attorney Eric Faddis. In Ohio, Dr. Michael McKee faces aggravated murder charges for allegedly executing his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Richard Tepe in their Columbus home. Police say the murder weapon was recovered from McKee's Chicago apartment. His alibi reportedly collapsed. Family members describe eight years of obsession. Faddis analyzes what prosecutors must prove and where McKee's defense team will attack the evidence—from chain of custody issues to the fundamental problem of no eyewitnesses. In Washington, the families of Bryan Kohberger's victims have filed a 126-page lawsuit against WSU alleging the university ignored 13 formal complaints against Kohberger before he murdered Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Staff created their own warning systems. A professor allegedly predicted he'd abuse students. The families argue the murders were "foreseeable and preventable." Faddis breaks down the Title IX claims, what "deliberate indifference" means legally, and whether this lawsuit could set precedent for institutional liability nationwide. Two cases. Two paths to justice.

Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, we're covering two major cases with former felony prosecutor turned criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis. First: the Tepe double murder in Columbus. Dr. Michael McKee is charged with aggravated murder for allegedly killing his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Richard Tepe while their children slept nearby. Police say they found the murder weapon in McKee's Chicago apartment eleven days later. His alibi reportedly failed. But trials aren't won on paper. Faddis breaks down both the prosecution's case and the defense strategy—examining forensic evidence, pre-arrest statements, and where reasonable doubt could emerge in a circumstantial case. Then: the Kohberger WSU lawsuit. The families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin have filed a 126-page wrongful death suit against Washington State University, alleging 13 formal complaints were filed against Bryan Kohberger before he murdered their children. The lawsuit claims gross negligence, Title IX violations, and "deliberate indifference." Faddis examines the legal claims, what discovery could expose, and whether this case could change how universities handle threat assessments forever. Two cases. Criminal and civil accountability.

Bryan Kohberger is serving four consecutive life sentences for murdering Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. The criminal case is closed. But the civil reckoning is just beginning—and it's not the only case demanding accountability this week. The families of Kohberger's victims have filed a 126-page wrongful death lawsuit against Washington State University, alleging the school ignored 13 formal complaints against Kohberger while he was employed as a teaching assistant. Women requested security escorts to avoid him. Staff created informal "911" alerts. A professor allegedly predicted he'd harass and abuse students. The families argue the murders were "foreseeable and preventable."

Bryan Kohberger was a teaching assistant at Washington State University when he allegedly stalked, harassed, and terrorized women on campus. At least 13 formal complaints were filed against him. Staff created informal "911" alerts to warn each other when he was around. Women requested security escorts just to avoid interactions with him. One professor allegedly predicted that if WSU gave Kohberger a PhD, they'd hear about him harassing and sexually abusing students down the road. None of it stopped him. On November 13, 2022, Kohberger drove eight miles to Moscow, Idaho, and murdered Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Now the families of all four victims have filed a 126-page wrongful death lawsuit against WSU, alleging gross negligence, Title IX violations, and deliberate indifference to the danger Kohberger posed. They're arguing the murders were "foreseeable and preventable." Today on True Crime Today, former prosecutor turned criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis breaks down the legal claims. What does the university have to prove in its defense? What will discovery expose?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Washington State University knew Bryan Kohberger was dangerous. That's what the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin are alleging in a devastating new lawsuit filed January 7th, 2026. The 126-page complaint details at least 13 formal complaints filed against Kohberger during his single semester as a graduate teaching assistant at WSU. Women were requesting security escorts to avoid him. Staff created informal "911" email alerts to warn each other when he was nearby. One supervising instructor allegedly expressed concern that removing Kohberger could expose the university to a lawsuit—choosing legal liability over campus safety. A professor reportedly told colleagues that if WSU gave Kohberger a PhD, they'd eventually hear about him harassing and sexually abusing students. The murders happened eight miles away in Moscow, Idaho. The families argue those murders were foreseeable and preventable. Former prosecutor turned criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis joins Hidden Killers to break down the legal claims: Title IX violations, gross negligence, wrongful death. What does "deliberate indifference" mean in court? How do families prove it? And what's WSU most afraid of having exposed during discovery? This lawsuit could set precedent for institutional liability nationwide.#BryanKohberger #WSULawsuit #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #HiddenKillers #TitleIX #EricFaddis #Idaho4Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin are suing Washington State University, and the allegations in the lawsuit are staggering. According to the 126-page complaint filed January 7th, 2026, at least 13 formal complaints were lodged against Bryan Kohberger during his single semester as a graduate teaching assistant. Women requested security escorts. Staff developed their own warning systems. A professor allegedly said if WSU gave Kohberger a PhD, they'd hear about him harassing and sexually abusing students later. And an instructor reportedly worried that removing him could expose the university to a lawsuit. The families allege gross negligence, Title IX violations, and wrongful death—arguing the murders of their children were "foreseeable and preventable." Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, former prosecutor turned criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis breaks down the legal claims and what they mean. What does "deliberate indifference" require in court? Can the families prove the university knew the danger and chose to ignore it? What documents will emerge in discovery that WSU doesn't want the public to see? And could this lawsuit change how every university in America handles threat assessments?

The families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin have filed a 126-page wrongful death lawsuit against Washington State University—the school that employed Bryan Kohberger, housed him, and paid him a salary while he was allegedly terrorizing women on campus. According to the lawsuit, at least 13 formal complaints were filed against Kohberger during his single semester as a teaching assistant. Women requested security escorts to avoid him. Staff developed informal warning systems. One supervising instructor allegedly worried that removing Kohberger could expose the university to a lawsuit. A professor reportedly predicted he would go on to harass and sexually abuse students if WSU gave him a PhD. The families allege gross negligence, Title IX violations, and deliberate indifference—arguing the murders of their children were foreseeable and preventable. WSU has declined to comment beyond offering condolences. Former prosecutor turned criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis joins us to break down the legal claims. What does "deliberate indifference" mean? How do families prove it? What documents will emerge during discovery that WSU doesn't want exposed? And could this lawsuit change how universities nationwide handle threat assessments and complaints about predatory behavior? The criminal case is closed.

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.

He studied sexually motivated burglars and serial killers for his PhD research. At the same time, according to a new lawsuit, his own behavior was reportedly alarming every woman who crossed his path at Washington State University. Bryan Kohberger is now serving four consecutive life sentences for the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. But the families aren't done seeking answers—they've sued WSU for gross negligence, wrongful death, and Title IX violations, alleging the university ignored 13 formal complaints about Kohberger's threatening and predatory behavior in the semester before the murders. Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us for an in-depth analysis of what these behaviors actually signaled. Robin spent 21 years with the Bureau, including serving as Chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, and he walks us through the significance of each warning sign documented in the lawsuit. The spatial trapping. The blocked exits. The following women to their cars. The rage outbursts.The staff developing their own alert system. Robin explains when behavior like this crosses from concerning to requiring intervention, what a proper threat assessment would have revealed, and whether there's behavioral significance to someone studying predatory violence while allegedly exhibiting predatory behavior themselves. This deep dive covers every angle of the lawsuit's allegations—and what it means for accountability when institutions allegedly see a threat coming and choose not to act.#BryanKohberger #KohbergerCase #WSULawsuit #IdahoFour #RobinDreeke #FBI #ThreatAssessment #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #CriminalJusticeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For three years, the Kohberger family said nothing. While Bryan Kohberger's face dominated headlines, his sisters and parents retreated into silence — enduring tabloid stakeouts, online harassment, and scrutiny that destroyed careers and fractured their lives.Now Mel Kohberger is speaking. In a New York Times interview, Bryan's sister reveals what happened inside the family home during Christmas 2022 — just days before FBI agents burst through the door. She describes warning Bryan about the "psycho killer on the loose" near his apartment, only to learn weeks later that he was the suspect. She talks about his childhood bullying, his heroin addiction, his recovery — and the brother she never imagined could commit such violence.The "creepy drawing" tabloids claimed Kohberger held during sentencing? It was a heart Mel made for him. Bright colors. A message of love from a sister still trying to reconcile the person she knew with the monster the world now sees.Meanwhile, a 126-page lawsuit filed by the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin exposes what Washington State University allegedly knew about Kohberger before the murders. At least 13 formal complaints in three months. A professor who urged colleagues to cut his funding because she recognized a predator. Mandatory discrimination training held five days before the killings — because of him.The lawsuit claims WSU was more worried about a potential discrimination suit from Kohberger than the violence he might commit. The families are demanding accountability.Two perspectives on the same man. Neither one makes sense of what he did.#BryanKohberger #MelKohberger #IdahoMurders #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #WSULawsuit #TrueCrimeToday #IdahoFourJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Women on the Washington State University campus built survival systems to avoid Bryan Kohberger. A tally board tracking his comments. Emails with "911" in the subject line. Security escorts to their cars. A door strategy so no one would be trapped alone with him.According to a 126-page lawsuit filed by the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, at least 13 formal complaints were filed against Kohberger in just three months during fall 2022. A professor who worked with predators urged colleagues to cut his funding. She told them directly: "If we give him a Ph.D., that's the guy we will hear is harassing, stalking, and sexually abusing his students."The university didn't act. Five days before four students were murdered, WSU held mandatory discrimination training for Kohberger's cohort — because of him. Less than two weeks before the killings, faculty met with him about his behavior. No decisive action was taken.Meanwhile, Bryan's sister Mel Kohberger has broken three years of silence in a New York Times interview. She describes Christmas 2022 — warning her brother about the "psycho killer on the loose" near his apartment, never imagining he was the suspect. She talks about his heroin addiction, his recovery, the childhood bullying that shaped him, and the heart she drew for him that tabloids called a "creepy drawing."The lawsuit alleges WSU calculated that a potential discrimination lawsuit from Kohberger was a bigger risk than the violence he might commit. The families of four murdered students are now demanding transparency, accountability, and reform.This wasn't a case of warning signs being missed.

She saw it coming. A professor at Washington State University looked at Bryan Kohberger in the fall of 2022 and told her colleagues exactly what she believed: "Mark my word, I work with predators. If we give him a Ph.D., that's the guy we will hear is harassing, stalking, and sexually abusing his students."She urged them to cut his funding. They didn't.According to a 126-page lawsuit filed by the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, at least 13 formal complaints were filed against Kohberger in just three months.

She reveals the "creepy drawing" tabloids mocked at his sentencing was actually a heart she made for him. Bright colors. A message of love.Mel talks about Bryan's childhood bullying, his heroin addiction, his recovery — and the impossibility of reconciling the brother she knew with the crimes he's accused of committing.The warning signs weren't missed.

The families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin have united to file a massive lawsuit against Washington State University. The 126-page complaint alleges WSU ignored at least 13 formal complaints about Bryan Kohberger's predatory behavior in the months before he murdered four students.The details are staggering. A professor warned colleagues that Kohberger would become a stalker and sexual abuser if given his degree. Women on campus developed emergency protocols — "911" subject lines, escort systems, door strategies — because the institution wouldn't protect them. One student fled into a bathroom to hide from him. Another ran from a classroom in tears after he verbally attacked her.Five days before the murders, WSU held mandatory discrimination training for Kohberger's cohort. The lawsuit alleges a supervisor worried that firing Kohberger could expose WSU to legal action — so they kept him employed, housed, and on campus with full access to students.The families are seeking accountability under Title IX, wrongful death claims, and gross negligence. Their attorneys call what happened "foreseeable — and, in fact, predictable."This episode breaks down the lawsuit, the timeline, and the institutional failures that the families say allowed a known threat to escalate into tragedy.#BryanKohberger #WSULawsuit #IdahoMurders #TrueCrimeToday #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #BreakingNews #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
"Mark my word, I work with predators."That's what a Washington State University professor told her colleagues about Bryan Kohberger in the fall of 2022. She warned them. She urged them to remove him from the program. They didn't.Now, the families of all four Idaho murder victims — Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin — have filed a 126-page wrongful death lawsuit against WSU. The allegations paint a picture of institutional failure at every level.According to the complaint, 13 formal complaints were filed against Kohberger in just three months. The employee responsible for acting on those complaints reportedly never even spoke with him. Female students and staff built their own warning systems: tally boards, "911" emails, door strategies, security escorts. One undergraduate hid in a bathroom to avoid him.Five days before the murders, WSU held mandatory discrimination training because of Kohberger's behavior. Less than two weeks before, faculty confronted him directly. The lawsuit alleges a supervisor worried that removing Kohberger could expose WSU to a lawsuit — from him.They chose the wrong lawsuit to fear.This episode examines the full timeline, the documented red flags, and the families' fight for transparency and accountability. The murders, they argue, were "foreseeable — and, in fact, predictable."#BryanKohberger #WSULawsuit #IdahoMurders #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #TitleIX #TrueCrime #IdahoFourJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On November 13th, 2022, four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in their off-campus house at 1122 King Road in Moscow. The victims were 21-year-old Kaylee Goncalves, 21-year-old Madison Mogen, 20-year-old Xana Kernodle, and 20-year-old Ethan Chapin. Two other roommates in the home survived that night. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murders at the University of Idaho. In part two, we'll cover additional information about the crime that was released in the months after Kohberger's arrest, his plea deal, and speculation on a potential motive. Even though this case has been solved, there are still some unanswered questions.You can help support the show at patreon.com/truecrimeallthetimeVisit the show's website at truecrimeallthetime.com for contact, merchandise, and donation informationAn Emash Digital productionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
This is the interview the Kohberger family never wanted to give — until now.In a bombshell exclusive with The New York Times, Mel Kohberger finally breaks three years of silence about her brother Bryan, the man who pleaded guilty to murdering Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin in November 2022.She takes us inside Bryan's troubled youth: the relentless bullying, the undiagnosed autism the family now believes shaped his personality, the heroin addiction that nearly killed him, and the moment he stole her phone to buy drugs — prompting their parents to call police on their own son.She describes the last Christmas before the arrest: vegan cookies their mother baked, TV party games, Bryan helping bandage a cut on her finger. Days later, FBI agents shattered the windows and took him away in handcuffs.And she finally explains the "creepy drawing" that went viral during Bryan's sentencing hearing. It wasn't dark. It wasn't a symbol of evil. It was a vibrant heart she drew for her brother — a reminder that even after everything, he was still loved.Mel also reflects on her own history as a true crime fan — and why she now regrets it.This episode contains new details about the Kohberger family's experience, their ongoing prayers for the victims, and what it's like to be dragged into the center of America's most scrutinized murder case.#BryanKohberger #MelKohberger #KohbergerFamily #KohbergerInterview #IdahoMurders #IdahoFour #KohbergerSister #KohbergerNews #KohbergerUpdate #MoscowIdahoMurdersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/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?

In this episode, we confront common misconceptions about predator behaviors with insight from retired deputy sheriff Joy Farrow and survivor-advocate Laura Frombach. Together, they reveal how predatory tactics unfold through subtle tests, familiar social scripts, and systemic blind spots—and discuss how to interrupt these patterns before they escalate into crisis.We start by redefining safety, looking at it through the lens of prevention. Drawing on years of frontline experience, Joy Farrow describes a shift: where once the evidence of harm was visible bruises, now it is visible fear. She explains how coercive control operates—isolating, restricting, and terrorizing without leaving physical marks. Laura Frombach adds a personal perspective, describing the lived experience of “mind colonization,” in which choices gradually shrink and even simple decisions begin to feel manipulated.Both Farrow and Frombach emphasize the importance of pattern recognition. They teach us to identify predatory behaviors: microtests of boundaries, subtle nudges for compliance, violations of personal space, and how a moment's hesitation can give predators the time they need to act.Using the 2022 University of Idaho murders as a backdrop, we analyze how planning, surveillance, and a sense of entitlement often contradict the “he snapped” narrative. The case against Bryan Kohberger, a convicted murderer, demonstrates a crucial distinction: progress, such as sobriety or earning a new degree, does not equate to genuine change in mindset or safety.We then shift the focus to solutions. These include implementing practical home security layers, maintaining stricter control over access and location sharing, and using everyday tools such as pepper spray and personal alarms. Farrow and Frombach also advocate for a cultural shift—honoring intuition and acting on early warning signs, rather than waiting for a crisis to make headlines. Institutions are also encouraged to strengthen their early warning systems and to respond to the first red flag.If you have ever sensed that something was wrong and hesitated to act, this conversation provides language, tools, and actionable next steps. We encourage you to subscribe for ongoing information, share this episode with someone who could benefit, and leave a review detailing the safety habits you are adopting. Your shared story could help someone else trust their instincts in the future.
Bryan Kohberger spent years studying criminal behavior, rigid thinking patterns, and how violent offenders survive behind bars. But just months into four consecutive life sentences, the reporting out of the Idaho Maximum Security Institution tells a very different story. Instead of a calculated mastermind adjusting to prison life, we're seeing a man unraveling under pressure — filing grievances, demanding transfers, and issuing warnings that staff say look more like manipulation than crisis. In this episode, we break down the nonstop stream of complaints Kohberger has reportedly filed since arriving on J-Block, one of the most restrictive housing units in the entire facility. From accusations that inmates are taunting him through the vents, to disputes over vegan meals, to frustration with JPay and restroom access, the pattern paints a picture of someone struggling with the basic realities of incarceration. Former detectives and correctional insiders say he's making himself a target — and the inmates have noticed. We also examine new reporting that Kohberger has allegedly been reaching out to serial killers across the country, attempting to make connections even while threatening self-harm if he isn't moved to a quieter unit. The contradictory behavior has raised questions among professionals who see it as an effort to control the narrative and regain status he no longer has. And yes — we cover the leaked prison footage confirmed as authentic by the Idaho Department of Correction, the consequences of that breach, and what it reveals about his environment today. Most importantly, we remember the four lives lost: Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. While Kohberger files grievances, their families continue to live with an unimaginable reality.

Bryan Kohberger is threatening to harm himself if guards don't move him out of J-Block. He's also reportedly reaching out to serial killers across the country—trying to network with men he apparently admires. One of these is crisis behavior. The other is networking. You don't get to be both. According to retired homicide detective Chris McDonough, who says he has sources inside the Idaho Maximum Security Institution, Kohberger has been writing messages to staff warning he'll harm himself if they don't transfer him. But at the same time, he's actively trying to connect with high-profile killers—both inside and outside the prison walls. McDonough's assessment: "It could be a manipulation tactic, almost like a toddler having a tantrum, to get himself into a better unit." This is a man who filed his first complaint on Day 2. Who's submitted at least five formal grievances in four months. Who complained about the bananas not being the kind he likes. Who fought paying $3,000 to reimburse the families of Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen for their daughters' urns—while sitting on nearly $29,000 in donations to his own jail fund. The inmates in J-Block won't accept him. They taunt him through the vents. They've threatened him. They've made his life miserable. He expected notoriety when he walked in. He got contempt. So now he's working two angles: self-harm threats to manipulate staff, and serial killer outreach to find peers who might see him as an equal. This isn't despair. This is a man who lost control—and can't stand it. Kaylee Goncalves. Madison Mogen. Xana Kernodle. Ethan Chapin. They didn't get to file complaints. They didn't get to negotiate.

Who's submitted at least five formal grievances in four months. Who complained about the bananas not being the kind he likes. Who fought paying $3,000 to reimburse the families of Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen for their daughters' urns—while sitting on nearly $29,000 in donations to his own jail fund. The inmates in J-Block won't accept him. They taunt him through the vents. They've threatened him. They've made his life miserable. He expected notoriety when he walked in. He got contempt. So now he's working two angles: self-harm threats to manipulate staff, and serial killer outreach to find peers who might see him as an equal. This isn't despair. This is a man who lost control—and can't stand it. Kaylee Goncalves. Madison Mogen. Xana Kernodle. Ethan Chapin. They didn't get to file complaints. They didn't get to negotiate. Remember them. #BryanKohberger #IdahoFour #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #IdahoStudentMurders #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #CrimePodcast #TrueCrimeYouTube #SerialKillers #Justice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger spent years studying how violent offenders think, act, and survive behind bars. He researched criminal minds, rigid behavior patterns, and psychological survival strategies. And yet now, just months into four consecutive life sentences, the reporting coming out of the Idaho Maximum Security Institution paints a very different picture — not of a mastermind adapting to prison life, but of a man unraveling under the weight of basic reality. Tonight, we break down the flood of grievances, appeals, and handwritten complaints Kohberger has reportedly fired off since arriving on J-Block — one of the most controlled, restrictive tiers in the entire facility. From claims of minute-by-minute verbal threats, to disputes over vegan meal trays, to frustration with the JPay system, to repeated attempts to transfer to a quieter housing unit, Kohberger appears to be hitting every pressure point of incarceration without understanding the culture of the world he now lives in. We also look at what former detectives, prison consultants, and correctional insiders are saying about his behavior — why they believe he's making himself more of a target, why the inmates are taunting him through the vents around the clock, why his reactions are being described as “a jailhouse Karen,” and what this tells us about the psychology that drove him before the murders. And yes — we talk about the now-verified leaked prison footage posted online by a former corrections officer. The Idaho Department of Correction confirmed the video is real. That officer is gone. But the consequences of that leak, and the environment Kohberger sits in right now, are far from over. This episode is also a reminder of the four young lives lost: Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Four futures taken. Four families forever changed. And a man who now sits in isolation filing complaints about bananas while serving the rest of his natural life. Hidden Killers goes deep into the reporting, the psychology, and the cracks forming inside Kohberger's carefully constructed persona.
