Tackling central nervous system (CNS) disease in EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer “is a huge problem, both from a quality-of-life perspective for patients and also from a longevity perspective,” explains Sid Devarakonda, MD, director of thoracic medical oncology at Swedish Cancer Institute in Seattle and clinical associate professor at Washington State University. He speaks with Aakash Desai, MD, MPH, associate director of the Phase 1 and Precision Oncology program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, about how CNS metastases inform choices between regimens. Dr. Devarakonda also discusses how the recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of subcutaneous amivantamab (Rybrevant Faspro) may change his approach. “[Y]ou still need to be comfortable managing some of the toxicities that still persist, even with the subcutaneous formulation, but it's terribly convenient from a practical perspective,” he notes. Dr. Desai and Dr. Devarakonda reported various financial relationships.

The Idaho 4 Murders NEW EVIDENCE EXPOSED!  On December 30, 2022, Bryan Christopher Kohberger, a 28-year-old PhD student in criminology at the nearby Washington State University, was arrested at his parents' house in Pennsylvania. The news was stunning. Kohberger didn't just study crime; he was an academic trying to get inside the minds of criminals. He'd even posted a survey on Reddit asking felons to describe their thoughts and feelings while they were committing their crimes. His entire field of study was the psychology of killers. What did these studies have to do with his psychology and actions? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Guest: Natalie SturmHosts: Dr. Buz Kloot and Dr. Gabe KenneRunning time: 62 mins“We could take a shovel, and shovel up some soil in one field, and then just go across the dirt road, and the soils would look completely different... it kind of blew my mind that the only difference between those two fields was the crop rotation they had been under for the past 20 to 30 years.”—Natalie SturmEpisode Summary:Natalie Sturm is a rising voice in cropping systems and soil health. She joins us to reframe the tillage conversation—not as a binary between conventional and no-till, but as part of a broader system that includes crop rotation, residue management, livestock integration, and long-term soil function. Drawing on her M.S. research at the Dakota Lakes Research Farm, Natalie shares insights about why no-till alone isn't enough and how thoughtful rotation design can drive both soil quality and profitability.We talk about:Why two side-by-side no-till fields can look dramatically differentHow biomass, not just crop diversity, builds better soilsThe drought resilience of long rotationsHow longer rotations can reduce herbicide and pesticide useThe economics of dryland vs. irrigated systemsPractical tips for transitioning into more resilient systems, one step at a timeNatalie's journey from suburban Chicago to the helm of Dakota LakesFeatured Guest Bio:Natalie Sturm didn't grow up in agriculture—she's originally from suburban Chicago. Her passion for climate, biodiversity, and human health led her to Montana State University, where she earned a B.S. in Agroecology. She then completed her M.S. at South Dakota State University studying long-term no-till crop rotations at Dakota Lakes Research Farm. Natalie is currently pursuing a Ph.D. at Washington State University on the effects of cropping systems on soil compaction in the Palouse region. In 2026, she will return to Dakota Lakes as its new research farm manager.

Bryan Kohberger is a 29-year-old criminology graduate student from Washington State University who has been accused of the November 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students: Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. The students were found stabbed to death in their off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho.Kohberger was arrested in December 2022 at his family's home in Pennsylvania. Investigators have linked him to the crime scene through DNA evidence and cellphone data, which reportedly shows him near the victims' residence multiple times before the murders and during the night of the incident. His defense, however, claims that Kohberger was out driving and stargazing during the time of the murders, and they plan to use cellphone data to support this alibi​.Kohberger faces four counts of first-degree murder and a potential death penalty if convicted. His legal team is pushing for a change of venue for the trial, citing concerns over finding an impartial jury due to the extensive media coverage of the case. The trial date has not yet been set, and pre-trial hearings continue to address various motions and evidence disputes.In this episode we get more for author Howard Blum and discuss the theory that Madison Mogen was the killers original target. (commercial at 7:38)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger targeted one of his victims, explosive new theory claims (msn.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

When Gary Chastagner was a kid in the 1950s, his parents typically displayed their Christmas tree for about a week. The tree went up on December 24—often after he went to bed—and came down after New Year's Day.Now, consumers want fresh-cut trees that can be displayed for weeks without losing their needles. Chastagner, a professor emeritus of plant pathology at Washington State University, has spent more than 40 years helping Northwest Christmas tree growers improve their product. For his work, Chastagner earned the nickname “Dr. Christmas Tree.” In this episode, Chastagner talks about working on solutions to Swiss needle cast disease in Douglas fir and visiting tree lots in the Southwest to improve the hydration of displayed trees. He's also visited other countries to scout out new Christmas tree varieties. Chastagner was honored with a lifetime achievement award from the National Christmas Tree Association in 2018.He retired in April 2025 from the WSU Research and Extension Center in Puyallup, where he also worked on ornamental flower bulb, cut flower, and nursery stock research. The Dr. Gary Chastagner Endowed Chair in Plant Pathology has been created and is raising money to continue research with the Christmas tree and horticultural industries. Read moreNorthwest growers test new tree varieties as droughts threaten Christmas crop (NWPB, Dec. 2, 2025)Oh, Christmas trees!

In tonight's Hidden Killers Live, we're unpacking one of the most uncomfortable realities about modern institutions: people show concerning behavior long before they cross a legal line — and institutions rarely know what to do with that space in between. Joining us is retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, who has spent his career studying that gap. Washington State University found itself exactly in that space. Multiple women reported disturbing interactions. Faculty documented repeated issues. A mandatory meeting was held because of one TA. And yet, without a criminal act, the system froze. This is where human behavior, risk-assessment, civil liberties, and collective avoidance all collide. Robin walks us through the difference between awkward behavior, socially atypical behavior, and genuine threat indicators. We dig into pattern recognition — the difference between one strange moment and a pattern that should raise alarms. We explore why people inside institutions often sense danger before they can justify it, and why ignoring intuition is not only dismissive but dangerous. Stacy joins with insights from The Gift of Fear, explaining why women's nervous systems often pick up on danger faster than conscious thought. We examine how that instinct was repeatedly ignored at WSU — and why “he's never been violent” is not proof of safety but a misunderstanding of how violence escalates. Finally, we go deep into the civil liberties paradox. How do you assess risk when the person hasn't done anything illegal? How do you avoid mistaking neurodivergence for danger? And what should real threat-assessment training look like on a modern college campus? If you want a clearer understanding of what WSU missed — and what every institution should learn from this — this episode is essential.

Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, we're taking on the uncomfortable truth institutions hate facing: sometimes the danger is right in front of them, but the structure, culture, and psychology of the environment keep anyone from calling it what it is. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to break down how those blind spots cost Washington State University crucial opportunities to intervene. This episode digs into the behavioral complaints that circulated inside WSU long before any crime occurred: the staring, the hovering, the boundary-breaking, the fear expressed by women in the department. These weren't isolated incidents. They were a pattern. And patterns matter. Robin explains why institutions tend to frame patterned discomfort as a paperwork problem instead of a risk-behavior problem — and why that distinction is everything. Graduate programs rely heavily on autonomy, hierarchy, and informal power dynamics. When the person generating concern holds influence over students, especially women, the risk isn't hypothetical. It's structural. We examine why institutions minimize threat signals: fear of liability, fear of mislabeling someone, fear of overreacting, fear of confronting what they don't want to acknowledge. Stacy joins with psychological insight into why women's instincts responded before anyone had the “official language” to describe what was wrong. Then we explore what was missing at WSU — not actions, but training. Why were faculty unprepared to identify patterned risk? Why did warnings get siloed instead of escalated? Why did a mandatory meeting produce no meaningful change? And what could have been done differently from the moment the first complaints surfaced? This isn't about hindsight. It's about understanding systemic blind spots so they aren't repeated. For anyone trying to understand the line between unusual behavior and genuine threat, this conversation is a must-watch. #HiddenKillers #WSU #RobinDreeke #ThreatAssessment #CampusWarnings #BehavioralPatterns #TrueCrimeLivestream #TonyBrueski #RedFlags #InstitutionalFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, we're cutting straight through the fog that has surrounded Washington State University's handling of Bryan Kohberger's behavioral complaints — and we're doing it with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, one of the most respected behavioral experts in the country. This isn't about blaming people who didn't have a crystal ball. This is about understanding what behavioral red flags actually are. Before a single crime is committed, before there's a police report, before anyone can articulate what's wrong — humans pick up patterns. They feel unsafe. They sense boundary-violating behavior. They feel instincts firing long before the conscious mind can put language to it. And that's not “overreacting.” It's evolution. WSU had multiple complaints, private warnings between women, faculty concerns, documentation, meetings, and a mandatory behavioral intervention. Yet the university treated it all like an HR issue instead of a threat-assessment problem. Tonight, Robin breaks down why that distinction matters — and how institutions all over the country make this same mistake. We explore why academia is uniquely vulnerable to minimizing threat indicators, why “but he's never been violent” is a meaningless metric when evaluating patterned behavior, and why institutions often freeze instead of act. Stacy brings in insights from The Gift of Fear, examining the neuroscience behind the “gut feeling” that so many women reported. And then we tackle the paradox: how do you protect a community when the person at the center hasn't committed a crime? Where's the line between rights and risk? And what should universities be trained to recognize that they currently aren't? This is one of the most important conversations we've had — not about predicting crime, but about seeing what institutions are terrified to acknowledge.

Before the murders ever happened… long before the headlines, the courtroom footage, and the national spotlight… there was Washington State University. And inside that department, there was a trail. A documented pattern of complaints, warnings, meetings, and uncomfortable conversations all centered around one graduate student: Bryan Kohberger. Tonight on Hidden Killers, we walk through that trail — not with speculation, but with the actual documented behavior that students and faculty reported in real time. The staring. The boundary violations. The gender-based hostility. The “creepy” interactions people whispered about in hallways. The emails students sent with “911” in the subject line. The faculty members who openly worried about his escalating conduct. The office where grad students started keeping a tally board just to track his outbursts. And the mandatory behavioral training the department held, which insiders say was triggered by one person. This episode isn't about assigning responsibility for the Idaho murders to a university. It's about the uncomfortable, unavoidable question raised by Kaylee Goncalves' family: How many red flags does it take before an institution says, “This is not just a behavioral problem — this is a safety problem”? We break down the full timeline of disciplinary actions WSU took, the warnings they issued, and the gradual escalation that eventually led to Kohberger's removal as a TA — weeks after the murders. We also examine what universities can realistically do, what their limits are, and why so many institutions downplay patterned behavior right up until it becomes catastrophic. This is the conversation no one wants to have, but every victim's family is forced to confront: when the warning signs were documented, discussed, and recognized… why didn't they change anything? Join us as we follow the red flags to their uncomfortable conclusion. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #WSU #TrueCrimeNews #IdahoCase #KayleeGoncalves #CrimeAnalysis #LegalDebate #SafetyFailures #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, we're taking on the uncomfortable truth institutions hate facing: sometimes the danger is right in front of them, but the structure, culture, and psychology of the environment keep anyone from calling it what it is. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to break down how those blind spots cost Washington State University crucial opportunities to intervene. This episode digs into the behavioral complaints that circulated inside WSU long before any crime occurred: the staring, the hovering, the boundary-breaking, the fear expressed by women in the department. These weren't isolated incidents. They were a pattern. And patterns matter. Robin explains why institutions tend to frame patterned discomfort as a paperwork problem instead of a risk-behavior problem — and why that distinction is everything. Graduate programs rely heavily on autonomy, hierarchy, and informal power dynamics. When the person generating concern holds influence over students, especially women, the risk isn't hypothetical. It's structural. We examine why institutions minimize threat signals: fear of liability, fear of mislabeling someone, fear of overreacting, fear of confronting what they don't want to acknowledge. Stacy joins with psychological insight into why women's instincts responded before anyone had the “official language” to describe what was wrong. Then we explore what was missing at WSU — not actions, but training. Why were faculty unprepared to identify patterned risk? Why did warnings get siloed instead of escalated? Why did a mandatory meeting produce no meaningful change? And what could have been done differently from the moment the first complaints surfaced? This isn't about hindsight. It's about understanding systemic blind spots so they aren't repeated. For anyone trying to understand the line between unusual behavior and genuine threat, this conversation is a must-watch. #HiddenKillers #WSU #RobinDreeke #ThreatAssessment #CampusWarnings #BehavioralPatterns #TrueCrimeLivestream #TonyBrueski #RedFlags #InstitutionalFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, we're cutting straight through the fog that has surrounded Washington State University's handling of Bryan Kohberger's behavioral complaints — and we're doing it with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, one of the most respected behavioral experts in the country. This isn't about blaming people who didn't have a crystal ball. This is about understanding what behavioral red flags actually are. Before a single crime is committed, before there's a police report, before anyone can articulate what's wrong — humans pick up patterns. They feel unsafe. They sense boundary-violating behavior. They feel instincts firing long before the conscious mind can put language to it. And that's not “overreacting.” It's evolution. WSU had multiple complaints, private warnings between women, faculty concerns, documentation, meetings, and a mandatory behavioral intervention. Yet the university treated it all like an HR issue instead of a threat-assessment problem. Tonight, Robin breaks down why that distinction matters — and how institutions all over the country make this same mistake. We explore why academia is uniquely vulnerable to minimizing threat indicators, why “but he's never been violent” is a meaningless metric when evaluating patterned behavior, and why institutions often freeze instead of act. Stacy brings in insights from The Gift of Fear, examining the neuroscience behind the “gut feeling” that so many women reported. And then we tackle the paradox: how do you protect a community when the person at the center hasn't committed a crime? Where's the line between rights and risk? And what should universities be trained to recognize that they currently aren't? This is one of the most important conversations we've had — not about predicting crime, but about seeing what institutions are terrified to acknowledge.

In tonight's Hidden Killers Live, we're unpacking one of the most uncomfortable realities about modern institutions: people show concerning behavior long before they cross a legal line — and institutions rarely know what to do with that space in between. Joining us is retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, who has spent his career studying that gap. Washington State University found itself exactly in that space. Multiple women reported disturbing interactions. Faculty documented repeated issues. A mandatory meeting was held because of one TA. And yet, without a criminal act, the system froze. This is where human behavior, risk-assessment, civil liberties, and collective avoidance all collide. Robin walks us through the difference between awkward behavior, socially atypical behavior, and genuine threat indicators. We dig into pattern recognition — the difference between one strange moment and a pattern that should raise alarms. We explore why people inside institutions often sense danger before they can justify it, and why ignoring intuition is not only dismissive but dangerous. Stacy joins with insights from The Gift of Fear, explaining why women's nervous systems often pick up on danger faster than conscious thought. We examine how that instinct was repeatedly ignored at WSU — and why “he's never been violent” is not proof of safety but a misunderstanding of how violence escalates. Finally, we go deep into the civil liberties paradox. How do you assess risk when the person hasn't done anything illegal? How do you avoid mistaking neurodivergence for danger? And what should real threat-assessment training look like on a modern college campus? If you want a clearer understanding of what WSU missed — and what every institution should learn from this — this episode is essential.

Before the murders ever happened… long before the headlines, the courtroom footage, and the national spotlight… there was Washington State University. And inside that department, there was a trail. A documented pattern of complaints, warnings, meetings, and uncomfortable conversations all centered around one graduate student: Bryan Kohberger. Tonight on Hidden Killers, we walk through that trail — not with speculation, but with the actual documented behavior that students and faculty reported in real time. The staring. The boundary violations. The gender-based hostility. The “creepy” interactions people whispered about in hallways. The emails students sent with “911” in the subject line. The faculty members who openly worried about his escalating conduct. The office where grad students started keeping a tally board just to track his outbursts. And the mandatory behavioral training the department held, which insiders say was triggered by one person. This episode isn't about assigning responsibility for the Idaho murders to a university. It's about the uncomfortable, unavoidable question raised by Kaylee Goncalves' family: How many red flags does it take before an institution says, “This is not just a behavioral problem — this is a safety problem”? We break down the full timeline of disciplinary actions WSU took, the warnings they issued, and the gradual escalation that eventually led to Kohberger's removal as a TA — weeks after the murders. We also examine what universities can realistically do, what their limits are, and why so many institutions downplay patterned behavior right up until it becomes catastrophic. This is the conversation no one wants to have, but every victim's family is forced to confront: when the warning signs were documented, discussed, and recognized… why didn't they change anything? Join us as we follow the red flags to their uncomfortable conclusion. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #WSU #TrueCrimeNews #IdahoCase #KayleeGoncalves #CrimeAnalysis #LegalDebate #SafetyFailures #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tonight on Hidden Killers, we're diving into the lawsuit that could finally crack open the one part of the Bryan Kohberger story that's been sealed tight: what Washington State University actually knew about his behavior before the Idaho killings — and what they did or didn't do with it. The Goncalves family has officially taken the first major step toward suing WSU, and the claims are explosive. They're arguing that the university wasn't just a backdrop in Kohberger's life — it was an institution with warnings stacking up in its hallways, complaints piling on desks, and a growing chorus of women saying the same thing: this man made them feel unsafe. We now know multiple WSU faculty and graduate students reported Kohberger for intimidating conduct, blocking doorways, staring silently at women, hovering over desks, following people to their cars, and violating boundaries over and over. Some were so scared they asked for escorts at the end of the day. Others filed formal discrimination and harassment complaints. One professor even told colleagues she feared he'd go on to harm students someday. And still — he remained in the program. Still teaching. Still representing the university. Still in university housing. Still collecting a paycheck. The lawsuit argues that WSU had enough information to intervene long before Kohberger ever crossed into Idaho. Not because anyone predicted the crime — but because institutions have a duty to respond to patterns of harassment, intimidation, and escalating hostility. The families want answers, and they want every internal document: every HR complaint, every faculty meeting, every email where someone said, “Something is wrong with this guy.” This case could reshape how universities handle red-flag students and employees. It could expose just how close institutions sometimes get to danger without ever stepping in. And it could finally tell these families whether the system that surrounded Kohberger ever tried to stop what so many people felt happening right in front of them. Join me as we break down what this lawsuit means, what the families are fighting for, and why the truth matters now more than ever. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #WSU #KohbergerCase #TrueCrime #IdahoCase #KayleeGoncalves #MoscowMurders #JusticeForTheVictims #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two major true-crime cases just took sharp, unexpected turns — one in the courtroom, one in the civil arena. First, Brian Walshe blindsided the court by pleading guilty to disposing of Ana Walshe's remains and misleading investigators — but still maintaining he didn't kill her. It's a move that redefines the entire murder trial and forces huge strategic shifts for both sides. Then, across the country, Washington State University is facing legal heat. The Goncalves family has filed a civil claim arguing WSU ignored repeated warnings about Brian Kohberger before the Moscow murders. More than a dozen complaints. A professor calling him a future predator. Students saying they felt trapped and unsafe. The question now is simple: Does the law say the university should have done more? On today's episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski sits down with legal analyst Eric Faddis to break down both cases: • Why did Walshe plead guilty to these charges but not murder? • Does this strengthen the prosecution's theory — or hand the defense a new angle? • What does the jury hear now, and how will it shape perception? • And in the WSU civil case — what duty does a university owe? • What evidence matters most? • Does foreseeability apply when the crime occurred off-campus at another school? • And is the real goal here discovery — forcing WSU's internal files out into the light? Two cases. Two seismic shifts. One conversation that lays out the stakes, the law, and the fallout. #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #BrianWalshe #BryanKohberger #WSU Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On today's episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski sits down with legal analyst Eric Faddis to break down both cases: • Why did Walshe plead guilty to these charges but not murder? • Does this strengthen the prosecution's theory — or hand the defense a new angle? • What does the jury hear now, and how will it shape perception? • And in the WSU civil case — what duty does a university owe? • What evidence matters most? • Does foreseeability apply when the crime occurred off-campus at another school? • And is the real goal here discovery — forcing WSU's internal files out into the light? Two cases. Two seismic shifts. One conversation that lays out the stakes, the law, and the fallout. #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #BrianWalshe #BryanKohberger #WSU Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two major true-crime cases just took sharp, unexpected turns — one in the courtroom, one in the civil arena. First, Brian Walshe blindsided the court by pleading guilty to disposing of Ana Walshe's remains and misleading investigators — but still maintaining he didn't kill her. It's a move that redefines the entire murder trial and forces huge strategic shifts for both sides. Then, across the country, Washington State University is facing legal heat.

Tonight on Hidden Killers, we're diving into the lawsuit that could finally crack open the one part of the Bryan Kohberger story that's been sealed tight: what Washington State University actually knew about his behavior before the Idaho killings — and what they did or didn't do with it. The Goncalves family has officially taken the first major step toward suing WSU, and the claims are explosive. They're arguing that the university wasn't just a backdrop in Kohberger's life — it was an institution with warnings stacking up in its hallways, complaints piling on desks, and a growing chorus of women saying the same thing: this man made them feel unsafe. We now know multiple WSU faculty and graduate students reported Kohberger for intimidating conduct, blocking doorways, staring silently at women, hovering over desks, following people to their cars, and violating boundaries over and over. Some were so scared they asked for escorts at the end of the day. Others filed formal discrimination and harassment complaints. One professor even told colleagues she feared he'd go on to harm students someday. And still — he remained in the program. Still teaching. Still representing the university. Still in university housing. Still collecting a paycheck. The lawsuit argues that WSU had enough information to intervene long before Kohberger ever crossed into Idaho. Not because anyone predicted the crime — but because institutions have a duty to respond to patterns of harassment, intimidation, and escalating hostility. The families want answers, and they want every internal document: every HR complaint, every faculty meeting, every email where someone said, “Something is wrong with this guy.” This case could reshape how universities handle red-flag students and employees. It could expose just how close institutions sometimes get to danger without ever stepping in. And it could finally tell these families whether the system that surrounded Kohberger ever tried to stop what so many people felt happening right in front of them. Join me as we break down what this lawsuit means, what the families are fighting for, and why the truth matters now more than ever. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #WSU #KohbergerCase #TrueCrime #IdahoCase #KayleeGoncalves #MoscowMurders #JusticeForTheVictims #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, we're taking on the uncomfortable truth institutions hate facing: sometimes the danger is right in front of them, but the structure, culture, and psychology of the environment keep anyone from calling it what it is. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to break down how those blind spots cost Washington State University crucial opportunities to intervene. This episode digs into the behavioral complaints that circulated inside WSU long before any crime occurred: the staring, the hovering, the boundary-breaking, the fear expressed by women in the department. These weren't isolated incidents. They were a pattern. And patterns matter. Robin explains why institutions tend to frame patterned discomfort as a paperwork problem instead of a risk-behavior problem — and why that distinction is everything. Graduate programs rely heavily on autonomy, hierarchy, and informal power dynamics. When the person generating concern holds influence over students, especially women, the risk isn't hypothetical. It's structural. We examine why institutions minimize threat signals: fear of liability, fear of mislabeling someone, fear of overreacting, fear of confronting what they don't want to acknowledge. Stacy joins with psychological insight into why women's instincts responded before anyone had the “official language” to describe what was wrong. Then we explore what was missing at WSU — not actions, but training. Why were faculty unprepared to identify patterned risk? Why did warnings get siloed instead of escalated? Why did a mandatory meeting produce no meaningful change? And what could have been done differently from the moment the first complaints surfaced? This isn't about hindsight. It's about understanding systemic blind spots so they aren't repeated. For anyone trying to understand the line between unusual behavior and genuine threat, this conversation is a must-watch. #HiddenKillers #WSU #RobinDreeke #ThreatAssessment #CampusWarnings #BehavioralPatterns #TrueCrimeLivestream #TonyBrueski #RedFlags #InstitutionalFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Goncalves family has taken the next step — not criminal, but civil. They've filed claims against Washington State University, arguing the school ignored repeated red flags about Brian Kohberger before the murders in Moscow. And now the question becomes: Does the law agree? In this deep-dive episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski sits down with former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis to unpack the legal claims, the duty-of-care standards, the foreseeability argument, and the staggering list of complaints that WSU allegedly received long before the killings. Tony and Eric break down the core issues: • What duty does a university have when a graduate student — and teaching assistant — has multiple formal complaints?  • Do warnings like “He's a predator in the making” create legal exposure?  • Do stalking-adjacent behaviors — blocking doorways, following students — meet the threshold for negligent supervision?  • Does the fact that the murders occurred off-campus, in another state, change the legal calculus?  • Could WSU actually be found liable for failing to remove or restrict him?  • Or will the university argue: “We couldn't have seen this coming”?  • And is this lawsuit partly about discovery — forcing WSU to release internal emails, HR files, and Title IX records? Eric walks us through what plaintiffs need to prove, what defenses WSU will likely mount, and why this case could have massive implications for universities nationwide if a court allows it to move forward. This is one of the most legally significant developments to emerge from the Moscow murders — and it could reshape university policies around reporting, supervision, and risk. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #WSU #TrueCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tonight on Hidden Killers, we're diving into the lawsuit that could finally crack open the one part of the Bryan Kohberger story that's been sealed tight: what Washington State University actually knew about his behavior before the Idaho killings — and what they did or didn't do with it. The Goncalves family has officially taken the first major step toward suing WSU, and the claims are explosive. They're arguing that the university wasn't just a backdrop in Kohberger's life — it was an institution with warnings stacking up in its hallways, complaints piling on desks, and a growing chorus of women saying the same thing: this man made them feel unsafe. We now know multiple WSU faculty and graduate students reported Kohberger for intimidating conduct, blocking doorways, staring silently at women, hovering over desks, following people to their cars, and violating boundaries over and over. Some were so scared they asked for escorts at the end of the day. Others filed formal discrimination and harassment complaints. One professor even told colleagues she feared he'd go on to harm students someday. And still — he remained in the program. Still teaching. Still representing the university. Still in university housing. Still collecting a paycheck. The lawsuit argues that WSU had enough information to intervene long before Kohberger ever crossed into Idaho. Not because anyone predicted the crime — but because institutions have a duty to respond to patterns of harassment, intimidation, and escalating hostility. The families want answers, and they want every internal document: every HR complaint, every faculty meeting, every email where someone said, “Something is wrong with this guy.” This case could reshape how universities handle red-flag students and employees. It could expose just how close institutions sometimes get to danger without ever stepping in. And it could finally tell these families whether the system that surrounded Kohberger ever tried to stop what so many people felt happening right in front of them. Join me as we break down what this lawsuit means, what the families are fighting for, and why the truth matters now more than ever. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #WSU #KohbergerCase #TrueCrime #IdahoCase #KayleeGoncalves #MoscowMurders #JusticeForTheVictims #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Honey bees continue to face shifting pressures from pests, and few are as relentless as varroa mites. In this episode, Jeff and Becky talk with Washington State University graduate student Molly Quade, whose research into fighting varroa with fungi offers a promising biological alternative to traditional mite treatments. Molly studies entomopathogenic fungi—especially Metarhizium species—which naturally infect arthropods and are already used in agriculture for pest management. Her work centers on finding fungal strains that can tolerate the warm environment of a honey bee colony, one of the biggest barriers to making fungus-based varroa control viable. Through strain selection and thermal tolerance testing, Molly and her colleagues are working toward biological tools that could function inside a living hive. The conversation breaks down how fungi infect varroa without harming bees, why biological treatments may reduce resistance issues, and the practical challenges of delivering fungal spores inside the hive. Molly also shares insights on fungal interactions with bee immunity and how wax moth larvae unexpectedly support early-stage testing. For beekeepers searching for future tools to manage mites more sustainably, this episode offers a clear, engaging look at one of the most innovative research directions underway today.
