Was Kohberger Planning Another Attack? Christmas Day Search History Analyzed
Was Kohberger Planning Another Attack? Christmas Day Search History Analyzed Christmas Day, 2022 — just weeks after the Idaho murders — Bryan Kohberger sat down and researched more than 20 notorious serial killers. One name stood out: Danny Rolling, the Gainesville Ripper, whose crimes eerily mirrored Kohberger’s alleged actions. Rolling used a KA-BAR knife, targeted college students, and entered through sliding doors — chilling parallels to the Idaho case. In this episode, former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke analyzes what this research spree means. Was Kohberger simply feeding a morbid curiosity, or was he conducting a tactical “after-action” review to identify mistakes and improve his methods? Did he believe he’d gotten away with it and could refine his approach for a “next time”? And how do Rolling’s own post-crime behaviors — hiding weapons, evading capture — fit into Kohberger’s apparent fixation? We also examine the broader context: Kohberger had been stopped twice on the way to Pennsylvania, was wearing gloves and bagging his trash, and knew police were looking for his car. Was this research paranoia-fueled damage control, or a compulsive dive into the crimes of people he hoped to emulate? #BryanKohberger #DannyRolling #Idaho4 #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #SerialKillerResearch #IdahoMurders #BehavioralAnalysis #CriminalMindset Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Delphi Case They Don’t Want You to See: Richard Allen’s Legal Battle
The Delphi Case They Don’t Want You to See Richard Allen’s Legal Battle The Delphi murders remain one of the most haunting true crime cases in America — but the conviction of Richard Allen is not the end of the story. In this unflinching conversation with defense attorney and Defense Diaries host Bob Motta, we examine every layer of the case: the appeal process, the prison conditions that pushed Allen to the brink, the questionable evidence presented at trial, and the personal toll on his family. We explore why “bridge guy” may not be the killer, how witness descriptions don’t match the defendant, and why the “unspent round” ballistic evidence could be one of the weakest links in the state’s case. We dig into the role — and absence — of Kathy Allen at trial, the strategic decisions that shaped the defense, and the broader implications for justice when high-profile cases become political pressure cookers. This is the Delphi case without the sound bites — a deep dive into the facts, the legal strategy, and the human cost. Whether you believe Allen is guilty or innocent, the details here will challenge what you think you know. #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #BridgeGuy #TrueCrime #JusticeSystem #AppealProcess #BobMotta #KathyAllen #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Wendi Adelson REFUSES to Testify for Donna As Family Rift EXPOSED
Wendi Adelson REFUSES to Testify for Donna As Family Rift EXPOSED The Donna Adelson trial just took a dramatic turn — and it wasn’t about forensic evidence or wiretaps. It was about family. Donna’s defense team tried to subpoena her own daughter, Wendi Adelson, to testify on her behalf. But Wendi’s lawyers fought back hard, arguing that taking the stand could incriminate her. The judge agreed, and the subpoena was thrown out. That means Wendi will NOT be forced to testify for her mother. On the surface, this looks like a simple legal maneuver. But in reality, it cracks the image of Adelson family loyalty wide open. Wendi has made it clear she’s choosing self-preservation and her kids’ future over loyalty to her mother. Meanwhile, her brother Charlie — already convicted and serving life for his role in Dan Markel’s murder — is stepping up to testify for Donna. Jurors won’t miss the contrast: a daughter staying silent while a convicted son defends his mother. Which voice will matter more? Which absence will speak louder? In this conversation, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins me to analyze what this shift tells us about the psychology of the Adelson family, why jurors may interpret Wendi’s silence as more powerful than Charlie’s words, and how loyalty fractures under pressure. This is more than a trial update. It’s a glimpse inside a family unraveling in real time — and what that might mean for Donna Adelson’s future.

The Complete Donna Adelson Story — From Matriarch to Murder Trial
The Complete Donna Adelson Story — From Matriarch to Murder Trial In this full-length Hidden Killers special, we bring together all four parts of our deep investigation into the case of Donna Adelson, the matriarch at the center of one of Florida’s most infamous murder-for-hire cases. This is the complete, unbroken story — from the private family dynamics that may have sparked a deadly plot, to the public trial that could end with Donna spending the rest of her life in prison. We begin with Donna’s role inside the Adelson family, where prosecutors allege she held a controlling influence over her children — influence that, according to the state, turned into the driving force behind the 2014 killing of Florida State University law professor Dan Markel. We examine the $1 million relocation bribe offer, threats involving the children’s religious upbringing, the pattern of phone calls on the day of the murder, and the money trail that prosecutors say links Donna directly to the crime. From there, we go inside Donna’s public and private narrative control — breaking down recorded prison calls that reveal strategic language, careful omissions, audience-specific tone shifts, and emotional steering. Even behind bars, her voice reaches far beyond her cell, shaping perceptions and planting alternate versions of events aimed at both family members and the court of public opinion. Next, we confront Donna’s apparent willingness to testify — a rare and risky move for a defendant facing this level of evidence. We explore the psychology, confidence, and possible ego behind taking the stand, drawing parallels to other high-profile cases where testimony either helped or destroyed the defense. Finally, we look ahead to the lasting legacy and fallout of this case: the intergenerational trauma facing the Adelson grandchildren, the identity struggles of carrying a notorious last name, the fractures and loyalties within the family, and the public judgment that will follow them long after the verdict. This is more than a trial. It’s a story about control, loyalty, manipulation, and the far-reaching consequences of a single decision. Whether you’ve followed the case from the start or are just hearing the details now, this full investigation gives you the complete context, evidence breakdown, and psychological analysis in one place. #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #CharlieAdelson #KatherineMagbanua #FloridaCrime #MurderTrial #FamilyFallout #Matriarch Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Inside the Prosecution’s Case Against Donna Adelson
Inside the Prosecution’s Case Against Donna Adelson With three co-conspirators already convicted in the Dan Markel murder case — including her son Charlie — Donna Adelson is now the next alleged link in the chain to face trial. Prosecutors will need to convince jurors that the 73-year-old wasn’t just aware of a conspiracy to kill Markel, but actively participated in it. In this Hidden Killers episode, Tony Brueski and Eric Faddis discuss what the prosecution’s strategy might look like: leveraging hard-to-explain financial transactions to convicted co-conspirator Katherine Magbanua, highlighting Donna’s deep involvement in the custody dispute with Markel, and presenting the $1 million “relocation offer” as evidence of her willingness to go to extreme lengths. Eric outlines how prosecutors may also use jail calls with coded language, the Vietnam one-way ticket, and the established conspiracy convictions of other players to strengthen their case. At the same time, the defense will likely push to frame Donna as a peripheral, sympathetic figure caught up in family turmoil. #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #EricFaddis #MurderTrial #ProsecutionStrategy #AdelsonFamily #TrialTactics #FloridaCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Myth of Kohberger’s “Perfect Crime” EXPOSED By FBI
The Myth of Kohberger’s “Perfect Crime” EXPOSED By FBI The Moscow murders were chaotic, bloody, and confusing. Forensic investigators are still piecing together the exact sequence of events. But one thing is becoming clear: Bryan Kohberger was no mastermind. He didn’t glide through the crime scene like some criminal genius. He walked into chaos — and chaos consumed him. Jennifer Coffindaffer and I explore how Kohberger may have gone from surveillance and planning to total collapse once the murders began. Did he intend to kill one victim? Was he interrupted by others? Did rage override control? The forensic evidence suggests exactly that. He saw the cars outside. He knew people were home. Yet he went in anyway, knife in hand. When victims fought back, when the scene unraveled, his plan spiraled into frenzy. The result wasn’t precision. It was carnage. We discuss how chaos defines the Idaho murders — and how that chaos punctures the myth of Kohberger as a calculating killer. The reality looks closer to rage, insecurity, and collapse.

Austin Drummond EXPOSED: Did He Really Work for the FBI?
Austin Drummond EXPOSED: Did He Really Work for the FBI? Austin Drummond has become the center of one of Tennessee’s most disturbing murder cases in recent memory. Four people were found dead in Lake County on July 29, 2025 — 20-year-old Adrianna Williams, her partner James Wilson, Adrianna’s 15-year-old brother Braydon, and their mother, 38-year-old Cortney Rose. The only survivor was a baby girl, just seven months old, who was discovered abandoned in a stranger’s front yard. Authorities quickly named 29-year-old Drummond as the prime suspect. His record already read like a warning sign: armed robbery, violent gang ties, threats against jurors, and a pending case for allegedly trying to shoot a prison guard. After a weeklong manhunt, he was captured in Jackson, Tennessee. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty, with charges that include four counts of first-degree murder and aggravated kidnapping. But then, Drummond began telling a story that stunned even seasoned investigators. He claimed he was actually a confidential informant for the FBI, recruited to help expose corruption and drug smuggling inside Tennessee’s prisons. According to him, his cover was blown, the murders unfolded, and he fled because he feared for his life. He insisted he was “somehow directly involved” in the night’s events — but not guilty of murder. Meanwhile, prosecutors say three others — Tanaka Brown, Dearrah Sanders, and Giovonte Thomas — helped Drummond evade capture, supplying him with shelter, phones, and transportation. Each now faces charges of their own. Did they believe his FBI informant story, or were they simply protecting a fugitive? That question hangs heavily as their hearings approach in September. This video digs deep into Drummond’s bizarre FBI claims, the role of his accomplices, and what prosecutors say really happened. Was he an informant caught in a deadly conspiracy — or just a career criminal spinning one last desperate lie? 👉 Stay tuned for more updates as this case heads toward trial. #AustinDrummond #TrueCrime #FBI #HiddenKillers #MurderCase #TennesseeCrime #CrimeNews #TrueCrimeCommunity #CourtCase #DeathPenalty Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

BIG BREAKDOWN-Papa Roger, VPNs & Secret Calls: The Dark Digital Side of Bryan Kohberger EXPOSED!
Papa Roger, VPNs & Secret Calls: The Dark Digital Side of Bryan Kohberger EXPOSED! Was Bryan Kohberger secretly “Papa Roger”? It’s one of the most debated threads in the Idaho murders case — an online account that appeared in the days after the killings, posting in true crime groups, sometimes with eerie accuracy. Papa Roger referenced details not yet public, used an avatar that looked strikingly like Kohberger, and stirred speculation that still hasn’t gone away. Investigators have long claimed they checked it out and found no connection. But here’s the problem: in the official paperwork, they even spelled the name wrong. In an era when digital trails depend on precision — one letter off can mean you miss the entire account — that detail raises serious doubts about just how thorough the search really was. And the VPN excuse? That’s not proof of innocence. It’s exactly the kind of digital shield someone like Kohberger, meticulous about covering tracks, would use. Then there’s the family dynamic. Newly revealed phone records show that in the hours immediately after the murders, Kohberger’s first calls weren’t to friends, lawyers, or even silence. They were to his mother. At 6:13 a.m., less than two hours after the crime, he tried her. No answer. Minutes later he called his father. Then back to his mother again — this time she picked up. They spoke for 36 minutes. By day’s end, Kohberger had logged over three hours of calls with his parents. This is not normal. The forensic timeline shows his phone off during the killings, then powered back on for a flood of family calls. It paints a chilling picture: a man who wanted to be digitally invisible during the murders, then cloaked himself in the routine comfort of being “the son” afterward. So, who was Papa Roger? And what do the calls to “Mother” really tell us about Kohberger’s fractured psychology? This episode dives deep into both mysteries — the online ghost and the family tether — and why they may still matter even after a guilty plea. #BryanKohberger #PapaRoger #IdahoMurders #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #Idaho4 #DigitalForensics #NormanBates #TrueCrimeCommunity #FBI Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
