Ret FBI Behavior Chief Gives EXPERT Insight To The Devil's Den Tragedy Description: In this full-length compilation episode, Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, delivers powerful behavioral insight into the shocking Devil's Den double homicide—a brutal daylight stabbing of Clinton and Cristen Brink in front of their two young daughters on a popular hiking trail in Northwest Arkansas. Drawing from over two decades of experience in behavioral profiling and threat analysis, Dreeke examines the law enforcement response, the psychological footprint of the suspect, and the deeper implications of this case on public trust and institutional accountability. He dissects why the six-hour delay in alerting the public was so critical—and potentially catastrophic—and how failures in communication and preparedness can damage the relationship between citizens and law enforcement. Dreeke also provides detailed insight into the predatory behavior of the suspect, including the decision to strike in a crowded state park, the choice of weapon, and the potential symbolism in targeting a family. From tactical analysis of the suspect's clothing and escape strategy, to broader questions of leadership, crisis management, and public perception, Dreeke doesn't just react—he contextualizes this tragedy with a level of professional clarity few others can. If you're looking for real-world FBI perspective on how law enforcement should respond, how killers behave before and after an attack, and what this case tells us about vulnerability and resilience in American communities, this episode delivers.

PREPARATION OR PARANOIA? What the Killer's Gear, Clothes, and Escape Reveal | Robin Dreeke Description: Was the killer in the Devil's Den murders a tactical thinker—or just a delusional rage machine with a bag and a fantasy? Robin Dreeke returns to the mic with Tony Brueski to analyze what the suspect's gear, clothing, and getaway reveal about his operational mindset. From the bag possibly meant to hide blood-soaked clothing to the car that may have been deliberately chosen for its speed and stealth, every detail says planning—but not brilliance. We explore the contradictions: this wasn't a meth-fueled mess. He brought gloves, sealed plates, maybe even a change of clothes. But he also drew tons of attention with his outfit, vehicle, and behavior. So what kind of killer plans halfway? Dreeke also addresses the rumors: Was this a workplace grudge? Did the suspect steal someone's job? Could this be someone from their past—traveling cross-state to settle a score? This episode walks through the limits of the tweaker theory and asks the harder question: If this wasn't random, and it wasn't chaotic, then what the hell was it?

RAGE IN THE WOODS: What the Killer's Actions Say About His Mindset | Robin Dreeke Analyzes It was over 100 degrees. He was in all black. The trail was packed. He taped over his license plate and still went through with it. Why? In this gripping episode, Robin Dreeke returns to break down what the suspect's decisions say about his internal state. From the risk of attacking on a busy trail to the calm execution of two parents in front of their daughters, nothing about this murder points to random chaos—it points to boiling rage, released with minimal concern for consequence. Tony and Robin dig into the psychology of a man who may have cracked. Was this a personal vendetta, or a “target of opportunity” scenario? Why did he let the kids live? And if this was all just unhinged fury—why was the car so well prepared? Dreeke brings years of behavioral analysis to a chilling discussion that questions everything: planning vs. impulse, rage vs. psychosis, and the frightening possibility that this was just step one.

THE STARE: FBI Profiler Robin Dreeke Breaks Down the Devil's Den Killer's Predatory Behavior When multiple witnesses say the same thing—that the man on the trail looked through them, not past them—you start to realize the killer wasn't just walking... he was scanning. In this episode, former FBI profiler Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to analyze the haunting body language and decision-making of the man believed to have killed Clinton and Cristen Brink. What does that death-stare mean? Was he just assessing threats, or choosing victims? Dreeke dives deep into the behavioral cues—how the killer's intense gaze, oversized tactical-style bag, and heat-inappropriate clothing all point to someone on a mission. But was the Brinks' murder pre-targeted or opportunistic? Was this planned for days, or did something flip in real time? This isn't criminal profiling 101—it's a forensic look at the subtle but revealing signals that most people miss. And one line—“Why are you doing this?”—may be the most telling clue yet about whether this was personal… or projection.

Ret FBI Chief Reminds Bryan Kohberger 'The Big-D is Coming For You'! Bryan Kohberger's courtroom silence may have fooled some, but new jailhouse reports suggest his mind is unraveling. Extended 45-minute showers. Dozens of obsessive hand washes per day. A Dracula-like sleep cycle. And an immediate request to speak to a priest. In this darkly revealing episode, retired FBI Behavioral Analysis chief Robin Dreeke breaks down what these behaviors mean: not repentance—but a desperate need for stimulation and control. When Kohberger can't get attention from the outside, he turns to rituals. When his mother isn't available, he turns to clergy. It's not remorse—it's manipulation. It's a man starving for relevance. We also revisit how the Goncalves family—especially Olivia—delivered what may have been a death sentence in spirit, if not by law. Their courtroom performance didn't just shame Kohberger—they made him culturally irrelevant. They stripped him of narrative. Of power. Of myth. And as Robin says—Kohberger knows what's coming next. He's not Ted Bundy. He's not BTK. He's not going to be remembered. And when he finally gets to general population, “the Big-D” might be the only justice left. Brutal, honest, and behavioral to the bone—this one pulls no punches. #BryanKohberger #KohbergerJailBehavior #TheBigD #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #KohbergerPriest #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #CriminalPsychology #PrisonJustice #OliviaGoncalves Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Extended 45-minute showers. Dozens of obsessive hand washes per day. A Dracula-like sleep cycle. And an immediate request to speak to a priest. In this darkly revealing episode, retired FBI Behavioral Analysis chief Robin Dreeke breaks down what these behaviors mean: not repentance—but a desperate need for stimulation and control. When Kohberger can't get attention from the outside, he turns to rituals. When his mother isn't available, he turns to clergy. It's not remorse—it's manipulation. It's a man starving for relevance. We also revisit how the Goncalves family—especially Olivia—delivered what may have been a death sentence in spirit, if not by law. Their courtroom performance didn't just shame Kohberger—they made him culturally irrelevant. They stripped him of narrative. Of power. Of myth. And as Robin says—Kohberger knows what's coming next. He's not Ted Bundy. He's not BTK. He's not going to be remembered. And when he finally gets to general population, “the Big-D” might be the only justice left. Brutal, honest, and behavioral to the bone—this one pulls no punches. #BryanKohberger #KohbergerJailBehavior #TheBigD #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #KohbergerPriest #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #CriminalPsychology #PrisonJustice #OliviaGoncalves Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Disturbing New Kohberger Crime Details Reveal Just What A Failure Bryan Kohberger Is At Every Aspect Of Crime Newly unsealed evidence confirms what many suspected—Bryan Kohberger wasn't a criminal mastermind. He was a catastrophic failure at nearly every stage of his crime. From digital footprints to missteps at the scene to an obsession with being noticed, Kohberger tried to mimic famous killers like BTK and Bundy—and faceplanted at every turn. In this episode, Robin Dreeke (former FBI Behavioral Analysis chief) joins Tony Brueski to break down how Kohberger left a blood-soaked crime scene, erased nearly all trace evidence… and then blew it all by being sloppy, arrogant, and digitally exposed. We dig into the infamous “Papa Roger” online persona, the bizarre Tinder chats about Ka-Bar knives and the “worst way to die,” and Kohberger's failed attempt to create a legacy through mimicry. Kohberger wanted to be a feared figure. Instead, he became a punchline—a man obsessed with crime who couldn't even do that right. From his OCD-driven car cleanings to his bungled trash disposal and fantasy-level delusion, Robin exposes the behavioral profile of a man who failed at murder, failed at deception, and failed at being feared. #BryanKohberger #PapaRoger #BTK #IdahoMurders #TinderEvidence #CriminalFailure #FBIProfiler #TrueCrimePodcast #CriminalProfiling #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Inside Bryan Kohberger's SECRET Conversations With His Mother It's one of the most chilling subplots in the Bryan Kohberger case: his mother reportedly still communicating with him from behind bars. In this episode, Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, former chief of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Program for Counterintelligence, take a hard look at the fractured emotional dynamics still playing out between Kohberger and his family. Why wasn't his father at sentencing? Why is his mother staying in contact? And what is Kohberger getting out of those conversations—control, validation, leverage? Robin breaks down the psychology of offenders who use remaining family ties to maintain ego and power. We also explore the gut-wrenching question of how a parent navigates the guilt of raising a child who commits atrocities—and the deeper danger in offering continued support. If Kohberger took a plea to avoid the death penalty, was that act for his mother—or to keep her on the hook? Is she enabling his next manipulative chapter from behind prison walls? This is not just a legal story. It's an emotional minefield. And Robin Dreeke helps us unpack the twisted family psychology beneath it. #BryanKohberger #KohbergerMother #KohbergerFamily #TrueCrimePodcast #FBIProfiler #BehavioralAnalysis #KohbergerSentencing #ParentalDenial #HiddenKillers #CriminalPsychology Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Howard Blum Reveals What He Wants To Ask Bryan Kohberger About Crimes & Motive Description: If you had five minutes alone with Bryan Kohberger… what would you ask? In this rare, emotionally raw conversation, acclaimed journalist Howard Blum opens up about the three burning questions he'd ask Kohberger if given the chance — questions that cut to the core of this horrific crime: Why did you want to kill? Why these victims? Why now? Blum doesn't just speculate — he gives us a window into Kohberger's psyche, shaped by criminology textbooks, social failure, and an obsessive drive to matter. He explains how Kohberger's fantasy of becoming a criminal psychologist may have mutated into a monstrous need to create a case for himself — not to study, but to live. Joined by retired FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke, we examine whether Kohberger would ever tell the truth, if he's capable of introspection, and whether his ultimate goal was to become a peer to the people who study murderers for a living. This episode isn't about legal proceedings. It's about human darkness, and the terrifying possibility that the only way Kohberger can feel like somebody is by staying silent, controlling the narrative… and waiting for someone to come knocking with a microphone. This is the conversation behind the case — and maybe, one day, the conversation ahead. #BryanKohberger #HowardBlum #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #KohbergerInterview #KohbergerMotive #IdahoFour #KohbergerPsychology #Criminology #DarkPsychology Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Howard Blum On The 'ID Cards' Kohberger Allegedly Had From The King Road House After The Crime Description: Did Bryan Kohberger keep souvenirs from the crime scene? In this unnerving episode of Hidden Killers, author and investigative journalist Howard Blum shares what he knows — and what's still unconfirmed — about the alleged discovery of ID cards belonging to someone associated with the King Road house where four University of Idaho students were murdered. Could Kohberger have taken an ID as a twisted trophy — a psychological totem from the night of the killings? Or is the story just another fragment of rumor in a case full of haunting silence? Blum discusses why this unconfirmed piece of evidence could be “the missing connective tissue” in proving premeditation and intent. Alongside former FBI profiler Robin Dreeke, we dive into the behavioral implications of trophy-taking, the criminal pathology behind object possession, and why this detail — if proven true — could reshape the case narrative entirely. We also unpack what the gag order may have hidden, why this evidence hasn't surfaced publicly, and what it tells us about Kohberger's state of mind in the hours after the murders. If you've followed the Kohberger case closely, this is one detail you can't ignore — because if it's real, it could be the most direct link between the crime scene and the killer. #BryanKohberger #IdahoFour #KingRoadHouse #IDCardEvidence #TrueCrimeToday #HowardBlum #HiddenKillers #KohbergerEvidence #MoscowMurders #ForensicPsychology Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Howard Blum Thinks Bryan Kohberger Feared His Parents Would Be Implicated In Crime In this gripping episode of Hidden Killers, journalist and New York Times bestselling author Howard Blum joins us to break down one of the most chilling theories surrounding Bryan Kohberger's last-minute guilty plea: Was he trying to protect his own parents from being dragged into the case? Blum shares exclusive insights into the behind-the-scenes tension that may have led Kohberger to fold just weeks before his scheduled trial. Did Kohberger fear his parents would be subpoenaed and forced to testify under oath? Was his sudden cooperation less about remorse and more about self-preservation — not for himself, but for his family? We also discuss the emotional weight of the sentencing day, the psychology of silence, and the terrifying possibility that Kohberger got exactly what he wanted: control of the narrative, even from a prison cell. Retired FBI agent Robin Dreeke joins the conversation to analyze how pressure, ego, and family dynamics might have influenced the plea. This episode goes deeper than courtroom coverage — it's about motive, manipulation, and how the fear of parental shame may have shaped the endgame in one of the most haunting mass murder cases in recent history. Don't miss this powerful breakdown of what really may have forced Bryan Kohberger's hand. #BryanKohberger #IdahoFour #HowardBlum #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #KohbergerPlea #MoscowMurders #BryanKohbergerParents #KohbergerSentencing #JusticeForTheFour #CrimePsychology Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ret FBI Counterintelligence Chief Questions The Epstein List 'Official' Story What happens when the government tells you something you've been hearing for years simply doesn't exist? In this explosive conversation, retired FBI Special Agent and former Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, Robin Dreeke, joins Tony Brueski to break down the latest chapter in the Epstein saga—and why the “official story” doesn't add up. Despite countless references to Jeffrey Epstein's so-called “client list,” the Department of Justice now claims no such list ever existed. Robin Dreeke isn't buying it. With decades of experience inside the bureau, Dreeke walks us through how federal investigations actually work, how evidence is cataloged, and why it would be operationally impossible for there to be no record—if the government had truly wanted to find one. This episode pulls no punches, going deep into the psychological strategies agencies use to control narrative, the quiet tactics of reputational preservation, and how political motives may have interfered with justice. We also explore why this scandal keeps triggering bipartisan discomfort, and whether intelligence agencies themselves might have had a stake in keeping the lid on Epstein's secrets. Is the list a myth? Or is it just being buried beneath layers of plausible deniability? You'll want to hear what Dreeke has to say before you accept the official explanation. #TrueCrime #JeffreyEpstein #FBI #EpsteinList #RobinDreeke #EpsteinScandal #HiddenKillers #EpsteinCoverUp #GhislaineMaxwell #EliteProtection #TonyBrueski #EpsteinTruth #GovernmentTransparency #EpsteinFlightLogs #MaxwellTrial Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ret FBI Behavior Chief Breaks Down Kohberger's Decision To Admit Guilt Bryan Kohberger shocked many when he admitted guilt to the murders that horrified Idaho and captured the nation's attention. But why did he suddenly choose to plead guilty instead of fighting it out in court? In this detailed episode, retired FBI Behavioral Chief Robin Dreeke provides expert analysis into the psychological motivations behind Kohberger's dramatic plea decision. Dreeke carefully unpacks the potential factors influencing Kohberger, including the strength of the prosecution's case, overwhelming physical evidence, and psychological traits like narcissism, control, and self-preservation. Did Kohberger finally realize he had no path to acquittal, or was his plea part of a broader strategy to assert control over the narrative, potentially denying victims' families the trial they desired? Listeners get a rare insight into how criminals evaluate plea options psychologically—particularly those with backgrounds in criminal justice education like Kohberger. Dreeke also discusses how Kohberger's decision impacts victims' families, investigators, prosecutors, and the broader community seeking closure and justice. Drawing from decades of behavioral analysis, Robin Dreeke explains the often hidden emotional and psychological nuances of plea deals, offering listeners an in-depth understanding of the internal calculus of a convicted murderer. He highlights the significance of Kohberger's background as a criminology student and how his academic knowledge may have played into his decision-making. This analysis will clarify why Kohberger ultimately chose to admit guilt, how his decision aligns with psychological profiling expectations, and what this means for criminal justice proceedings and closure for those affected by his crimes.

Why Didn't The Kohberger DA Consider The Victims' Families' Wishes On Plea Deal Bryan Kohberger's controversial plea deal has left some victim families feeling betrayed and dismissed. Despite vocal opposition from families seeking justice, the District Attorney chose to offer Kohberger life without parole, removing the death penalty from consideration. In this essential breakdown, former FBI Behavioral Chief Robin Dreeke explores the critical question: Why didn't prosecutors give more weight to the victims' families' wishes? Dreeke provides a comprehensive analysis of the complex decision-making process prosecutors face in high-profile murder cases, balancing guaranteed conviction and judicial efficiency against the emotional and psychological trauma endured by victims' families. Drawing on years of high-stakes experience, he examines whether this plea agreement was strategically sound or simply expedient, and what messages it sends to families seeking full accountability. Throughout the discussion, Dreeke unpacks how plea deals affect family members psychologically, potentially undermining their healing and closure. He highlights the broader implications for public confidence in the criminal justice system when victims' voices are not adequately heard or considered. This episode is a hard-hitting exploration of prosecutorial discretion, victim advocacy, and the delicate line between legal strategy and emotional justice. Listeners will also hear insights into how plea negotiations typically unfold behind the scenes and what factors can lead a district attorney's office to move forward despite opposition from grieving families. Robin Dreeke's analysis helps us understand the difficult trade-offs inherent in criminal prosecutions, challenging listeners to reconsider what "justice" truly means in cases as emotionally charged and tragic as this.

Howard Blum Breaks Down Everything He Now Believes About The Bryan Kohberger Case – Full Interview Description: This is the full unfiltered conversation with Howard Blum, NYT bestselling author of When the Night Comes Falling, and it's nothing short of explosive. In this episode, we dive into every angle of the Bryan Kohberger case — from the emotional fractures inside the Kohberger family to the courtroom strategies, from the psychological portrait of the accused to the uncomfortable questions still left unanswered. Blum brings fresh reporting and bold theories: what Bryan may have said to his parents just hours after the killings, how his father may have started putting the pieces together during their cross-country drive, and why the plea deal might not be justice — but a quiet form of surrender by the state of Idaho. He also details Kohberger's possible motivations, his alleged obsession with Madison Mogen, and how Dr. Katherine Ramsland — Kohberger's professor and a leading expert on serial killers — may have been part of the psychological fuel that drove him. You'll also hear insight from Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former head of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, who helps decode the micro-signals in Kohberger's behavior, from his strange post-murder selfie to his failed alibi strategy. This is the definitive breakdown — equal parts legal, emotional, and forensic — of one of the most haunting cases in modern true crime. If you want to understand who Bryan Kohberger is, what he may have planned next, and why this case has left so many still searching for closure — start here.

Why Was Madison Mogen The Target of Kohberger? Howard Blum Explains Description: Among the most chilling questions in the Bryan Kohberger case is why Madison Mogen — of all the victims — may have been the primary target. In this deeply unsettling episode, investigative journalist Howard Blum joins Hidden Killers to unpack his exclusive theory: that Maddie Mogen didn't just symbolize something to Kohberger — she represented everything he believed he was denied. Blum explores the alleged fixation Kohberger may have developed on Maddie: her appearance, her joy, her effortless connection to others — all of it, a rebuke to his own social alienation. She was the kind of person he could never be close to. And, in Blum's words, he believed if he couldn't exist in her world, she shouldn't be allowed to either. We retrace the alleged events of that night — Kohberger circling the King Road house not once, but three times, before finally working up the will to approach. Blum details how Kohberger appeared fixated on entering Maddie's room, passing other sleeping victims on the way — and how everything unraveled when he found not one, but two people inside: Maddie and Kaylee. The attack that followed was violent, unrestrained, and ultimately left behind the knife sheath that became the smoking gun. Joined by Robin Dreeke, we also explore whether this was truly a single-target fantasy turned spree, or whether Kohberger was already walking the path of serial escalation — and what Maddie's symbolic power in his mind says about the dark psychology behind targeted murder.

Ret. FBI Behavior Chief Breaks Down The Cops & Culture That Groomed Sandra Birchmore Description: Sandra Birchmore wasn't just failed by a few bad officers—she was failed by an entire culture. At 23, Sandra was found dead—alone and pregnant. What the public was told: suicide. What federal prosecutors now allege: murder, cover-up, and years of grooming at the hands of a trusted law enforcement officer. Matthew Farwell, the former Stoughton cop now indicted for Sandra's death, first met her when she was just 13. He was her mentor in the department's Explorer program. But behind that title was a predator, and behind him? A department that protected itself at every turn. In this episode, we sit down with Robin Dreeke, the former Chief of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Program, to dissect how this could happen—and why no one stopped it. Robin walks us through the behavioral red flags, the abuse of institutional structure, and the critical leadership failures that enabled this kind of manipulation to thrive unchecked. We also explore why no one else has been charged—despite multiple officers having ties to Sandra—and what it says about the “silent exits” we've seen from others in the department. Robin reveals how abusers test boundaries through secrecy, how grooming flourishes in programs like Explorers, and why a lack of oversight can be just as dangerous as overt misconduct. This isn't just about Matthew Farwell. It's about every department that refuses to see what's right in front of them. Sandra Birchmore's case is a warning—and Robin Dreeke is here to tell us what happens when no one listens. #SandraBirchmore #RobinDreeke #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #PoliceGrooming #InstitutionalFailure #HiddenKillersPodcast #TonyBrueski #ExplorerProgram #LawEnforcementAccountability #PredatorsInPower Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Matthew Farwell, the former Stoughton cop now indicted for Sandra's death, first met her when she was just 13. He was her mentor in the department's Explorer program. But behind that title was a predator, and behind him? A department that protected itself at every turn. In this episode, we sit down with Robin Dreeke, the former Chief of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Program, to dissect how this could happen—and why no one stopped it. Robin walks us through the behavioral red flags, the abuse of institutional structure, and the critical leadership failures that enabled this kind of manipulation to thrive unchecked. We also explore why no one else has been charged—despite multiple officers having ties to Sandra—and what it says about the “silent exits” we've seen from others in the department. Robin reveals how abusers test boundaries through secrecy, how grooming flourishes in programs like Explorers, and why a lack of oversight can be just as dangerous as overt misconduct. This isn't just about Matthew Farwell. It's about every department that refuses to see what's right in front of them. Sandra Birchmore's case is a warning—and Robin Dreeke is here to tell us what happens when no one listens. #SandraBirchmore #RobinDreeke #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #PoliceGrooming #InstitutionalFailure #HiddenKillersPodcast #TonyBrueski #ExplorerProgram #LawEnforcementAccountability #PredatorsInPower Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872
