The Psychological Breakdown of Bryan Kohberger Behind Bars

The Psychological Breakdown of Bryan Kohberger Behind Bars

In this Hidden Killers deep dive, Tony Brueski examines what really happens to a mind like Bryan Kohberger’s when the walls close in and the audience disappears.

After being sentenced to life in prison for the murders of four University of Idaho students, Kohberger now faces the one force he can’t manipulate: time. For nearly three years he’s lived under lockdown—no stage, no admirers, no power. What does that do to a brain built on control, superiority, and a complete lack of empathy?

Using insights from decades of psychological research on psychopathy, narcissistic collapse, and long-term solitary confinement, this episode unpacks the internal decay of high-control offenders once their delusions of dominance meet the reality of prison life. From the first days of agitation and rage to the later stages of emotional flatlining and obsessive routine, Tony explores how predators like Kohberger adapt—or fail to adapt—when stripped of power.

What happens when a narcissist can no longer perform for an audience? When his intellect stops being an asset and starts becoming his tormentor? This episode digs deep into the science and the psychology of isolation, boredom, and self-destruction—where every day becomes a mirror, and the only reflection staring back is guilt he’ll never acknowledge.

There are no redemption arcs here. No grand awakenings. Just a slow-motion unraveling inside a concrete box—a living case study in how control-obsessed minds corrode under the weight of silence.

Tony Brueski pulls no punches in this brutally honest look at the narcissistic decay of Bryan Kohberger, the illusion of control that built his ego, and the quiet, endless punishment that awaits him behind bars.

He Had What? The SHOCKING Discovery Inside Bryan Kohberger’s Glove Box!

He Had What? The SHOCKING Discovery Inside Bryan Kohberger’s Glove Box!

He Had What? The SHOCKING Discovery Inside Bryan Kohberger’s Glove Box! What do you keep in your glovebox? For Bryan Kohberger, it wasn’t registration papers or an old pair of sunglasses—it was the ID cards of women who had no idea he still had a piece of them. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we break down one of the most haunting details to come out of the latest document release: investigators found a stash of women’s ID cards hidden in the glovebox of a vehicle linked to Kohberger. These IDs didn’t belong to his known victims. Instead, they belonged to other women—women still alive, women who never reported anything stolen, and women who likely had no clue they were ever on his radar. What does it mean to keep a piece of someone like that? In criminal psychology, it’s known as a “trophy”—a symbol of dominance, possession, and in some cases, fantasy control. This wasn’t a souvenir. It was a message. And it adds yet another disturbing layer to a man already convicted of one of the most chilling crimes in recent memory. How did he get these IDs? Why did he keep them? Were they part of a larger plan—or signs of a hidden past we haven’t fully uncovered? Join us as we explore the psychological weight of trophies, the deeper implications of control and obsession, and what this glovebox discovery tells us about the man behind the monster.

He Didn’t Snap—He Planned It: Bryan Kohberger’s Chilling Escalation Before the Idaho Murders

He Didn’t Snap—He Planned It: Bryan Kohberger’s Chilling Escalation Before the Idaho Murders

He Didn’t Snap—He Planned It: Bryan Kohberger’s Chilling Escalation Before the Idaho Murders Everyone wants to believe that mass killers just “snap.” That something short-circuits and pushes them to kill. But what if that’s not true at all? What if Bryan Kohberger didn’t explode—but evolved? In this gripping first installment of a four-part deep dive, Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist and author of The Minds of Mass Killers, Shavaun Scott, to break down the pre-crime behavior revealed in the newly unsealed documents in the Kohberger case. And what we learn is disturbing. According to investigators, Kohberger allegedly visited the King Road home more than 20 times in the weeks leading up to the murders. He didn’t just happen upon it. He stalked it. Cell tower pings, video surveillance, late-night drives. He may have even entered the home before the murders—walking its floors, studying its layout, preparing. So how does someone get there? From criminology student to killer? Shavaun Scott walks us through the psychology of escalation. We unpack how his reported fixation with control, the alleged trophy collection of women’s ID cards, and his disturbing use of police scanner websites all fit into a pattern—not of impulse, but of obsession. Was the 2021 Pullman break-in part of his evolution? Was he rehearsing? Could law enforcement have seen this coming? Could anyone? This is the episode that sets the foundation. Because once you understand the beginning, the ending becomes even more chilling.

What Was Bryan Kohberger’s Second Weapon? Ret FBI Vet Drops Bombshell!

What Was Bryan Kohberger’s Second Weapon? Ret FBI Vet Drops Bombshell!

What Was Bryan Kohberger’s Second Weapon? Ret FBI Vet Drops Bombshell! Did Bryan Kohberger carry more than just the infamous KA-BAR knife the night four University of Idaho students were brutally murdered? In this explosive episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer dives into newly unsealed documents and drops a chilling theory: Kohberger may have brought a second weapon. The theory isn’t just speculation. It’s rooted in the wounds inflicted on Kaylee Goncalves—wounds so severe, they were described as “unrecognizable” by officers on the scene. Was it all caused by a single knife? Or do the injuries point to another, possibly blunt-force weapon that hasn’t been publicly acknowledged? Coffindaffer breaks down what we now know about the crime scene injuries, what types of wounds indicate different kinds of weapons, and whether law enforcement may have intentionally withheld mention of another weapon from public filings. We also explore the psychology behind bringing multiple tools to a murder scene—does it suggest overkill, control, or something even darker? This conversation peels back layers of forensic and behavioral complexity that go far beyond the headlines. If Kohberger did use a second weapon, it raises serious questions about missed evidence, investigative transparency, and his exact level of planning. Don’t miss this powerful breakdown from someone who spent years analyzing violent offenders at the Bureau. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #HiddenKillers #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrimeToday #SecondWeapon #KohbergerCrimeScene #ForensicAnalysis #CrimeSceneInvestigation #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Was Kohberger Stalking OTHER Women & Homes? The Evidence Says YES!

Was Kohberger Stalking OTHER Women & Homes? The Evidence Says YES!

Was Kohberger Stalking OTHER Women & Homes? The Evidence Says YES! In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into one of the most disturbing developments in the Bryan Kohberger case: the growing evidence that the murders in Moscow may not have been his first intrusion—or his last. Recently unsealed documents suggest Kohberger wasn’t just surveilling the King Road house where four University of Idaho students were killed—he may have also entered it before the murders took place. Prosecutors now say he was likely inside the home prior to November 13, 2022, which would explain his eerily precise movements the night of the attack. But it doesn’t end there. We also revisit a chilling 2021 break-in in Pullman, Washington, where a masked man with a knife entered a home full of sleeping sorority members. No one was harmed, but the similarities are impossible to ignore. And if Kohberger was willing to test the waters once... who’s to say that was the only time? Is there a pattern? Are there other homes, other women, other entries that simply went unnoticed? In this episode, we explore how his cell phone data, behavioral patterns, and criminal psychology all point to a man who was practicing long before he acted—and possibly continued even after. This is one you don’t want to miss.

Was This Kohberger’s Dry Run? The Forgotten Home Invasion in Pullman

Was This Kohberger’s Dry Run? The Forgotten Home Invasion in Pullman

Was This Kohberger’s Dry Run? The Forgotten Home Invasion in Pullman In this chilling episode of Hidden Killers, we peel back the layers of an unsolved mystery that may have been a terrifying prelude to the University of Idaho murders. On October 10, 2021—more than a year before Bryan Kohberger was arrested for the brutal stabbings in Moscow—a college student in Pullman, Washington woke up to a masked man standing silently at the foot of her bed… holding a knife. The masked intruder didn’t speak. He didn’t steal anything. He simply stared—until the student kicked him in the stomach, sending him fleeing into the night. Police arrived to find no trace. No evidence. Just a shaken survivor and a trail gone cold. Fast forward to late 2022, and Bryan Kohberger is in custody, charged with the murder of four college students less than 10 miles away. That’s when investigators reopened the 2021 Pullman case—and what they found sent a chill down everyone’s spine. The timing, the M.O., the house layout, the silence, the mask—it all felt too familiar. In this episode, we break the story down segment by segment: from the night of the attack, to the eerie parallels with the Idaho murders, to the question of whether Kohberger was in town before his move to Pullman. We examine the behavioral psychology behind escalation, “dry runs,” and criminal fantasy—and we ask the question: If this wasn’t Kohberger, then who the hell was it? This is the story of a break-in that almost no one remembers—until you realize it might have been the beginning of something much darker.
