Bryan Kohberger FBI Expert Jennifer Coffindaffer Breaks Down the Dateline Bombshells   In this explosive episode of "Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to unpack the most chilling revelations from Dateline’s May 9th special on the Bryan Kohberger case. As the legal noose tightens around the accused Idaho student murder suspect, Dateline dropped a trove of new details that may dramatically shift public perception—and possibly the direction of the trial itself. We dive deep into the now-confirmed surveillance footage showing Kohberger’s white Hyundai Elantra circling the crime scene before the murders. We discuss the damning cell tower data showing his presence near the house more than 23 times before the killings. Coffindaffer also unpacks his disturbing Google searches about serial killers, drugging victims, and how to get away with murder. From a forensic and behavioral analysis standpoint, Coffindaffer raises critical red flags—analyzing what these digital breadcrumbs say about Kohberger’s intent, planning, and psychological profile. Was this premeditated murder? How do his alleged actions fit within known offender typologies? And what do experts like Coffindaffer think of Dateline’s portrayal? This is a can’t-miss breakdown for true crime fans, legal observers, and anyone following one of the most high-profile murder cases in recent American history. #BryanKohberger #DatelineNBC #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrime #IdahoMurders #FBIAnalysis #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #ForensicBreakdown #CriminalProfiling    Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger Hearing Raw Court Audio:  The countdown has begun. A district judge has now set the stage for one of the most high-profile murder trials in recent U.S. history. Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students in a brutal attack that shook the nation, will face trial starting August 11. The trial is expected to last three months—with livestream coverage, possible jury sequestration, and a chilling debate over "alternate perpetrators." Judge Steven Hippler announced new courtroom rules, including restricted video access during the testimony of the surviving roommates—raising fresh questions about what could come to light. Legal experts are watching closely, as the defense hints at a strategy that could introduce other suspects into the narrative. What will the public learn? And could this trial reshape how we view the night of November 13, 2022? This is everything we know right now about the upcoming Kohberger trial, the legal complexities at play, and why this case still haunts the country nearly two years later.

Dateline Just Sealed Kohbergers Fate: 23 Stalking Visits, Violent Searches, and a Chilling Pattern There’s evidence… and then there’s behavior. In this episode, we go beyond the basics of the Bryan Kohberger case and explore what Dateline NBC has just revealed about the man prosecutors say meticulously stalked his victims — and left behind a trail of digital and psychological clues. Joining us is former FBI Behavioral Analyst Robin Dreeke, who gives expert commentary on the disturbing details presented in Dateline’s two-hour special: the 2:52 a.m. text from Kaylee, the clear surveillance video of Kohberger’s car, and the 23 late-night phone pings near King Road that prosecutors say signal long-term planning. But what really stands out are Kohberger’s Google searches — references to Ted Bundy, as well as explicit porn involving unconscious women. These aren’t random clicks. They suggest a level of psychological priming that, in Dreeke’s analysis, mirrors behavior seen in past sexual predators and killers. We also analyze how Kohberger allegedly tried to interact with women in socially awkward, overly formal ways — texting a partygoer after a brief chat to say, “I really enjoy that activity.” When put in the context of this case, these moments feel less like quirks and more like signs of deep pathology. We cover the knife sheath DNA, the Amazon Ka-Bar order, and the Indiana traffic stop with his father — but through the lens of behavioral escalation. How do fantasy and fixation become murder? And did Kohberger cross that line long before Nov. 13? This is the psychological autopsy of a suspect — with an FBI expert walking us through every disturbing clue. #BryanKohberger #BehavioralAnalysis #IdahoMurders #FBIProfiler #DatelineNBC #TrueCrimeBreakdown #KohbergerSearchHistory #DigitalTrail #KingRoadMurders #ForensicPsychology Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohbergers Damning Dateline & The 5 Biggest Bombshells Dateline NBC's May 9th special on Bryan Kohberger delivered some of the most comprehensive — and chilling — updates we've seen since the start of the Idaho student murders investigation. In this episode of Murder in the Morning with Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole, we take you point-by-point through every new detail Dateline uncovered, cutting through the sensationalism to focus on what really matters for the upcoming trial. We begin with the newly released surveillance footage: a white Hyundai Elantra allegedly circling the crime scene just minutes before the murders took place. Then we break down Kohberger’s digital trail — specifically, the 23 times his cell phone pinged near the house before the murders, painting a disturbing picture of stalking and surveillance. But it doesn’t stop there. Dateline also exposed Google searches made by Kohberger that included terms like “Ted Bundy,” “drugged,” and “passed out.” We explore what this means in terms of intent, fantasy, and psychological fixation. We also assess Dateline’s framing: Did they overplay certain aspects? Did they downplay others? And how does this align with the known timeline and evidence? Whether you’re a true crime junkie or just following the case closely, this breakdown gives you the expert-level dissection you need to stay up to speed on one of the most disturbing and highly scrutinized murder cases of our time. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #DatelineNBC #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #WhiteElantra #CellData #DigitalFootprint #TrialAnalysis #KohbergerTimeline    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

Ted Bundy Obsession, DNA on Knife Sheath, and 23 Visits: Kohberger Exposed By Dateline In this episode, we unpack Dateline NBC’s newest special on the Bryan Kohberger case — and this one drops bombshell after bombshell. From never-before-seen surveillance footage of the white Elantra, to chilling Google searches, to a haunting 2:52 a.m. text from Kaylee Goncalves just moments before her death — this isn’t a recap, it’s a psychological breakdown of a killer’s digital trail. Joining us is retired FBI Behavioral Analyst Robin Dreeke, who helps decode the disturbing patterns behind the evidence. What does it mean that Kohberger’s phone pinged near the King Road home 23 times, always after dark? What can we learn from his searches for "drugged," "passed out," and “Ted Bundy” before and after the murders? This isn’t just forensic analysis — it’s a look into the possible fantasy life of an alleged predator. We explore how prosecutors say Kohberger bought a Ka-Bar knife from Amazon eight months before the murders — the same model found at the scene with his DNA on the sheath. And we dive into his strange social behaviors, including unsolicited texts to women, overly formal messages, and a reported break-in tactic where he allegedly installed surveillance equipment for someone he had frightened. Robin Dreeke lends his behavioral expertise to connect the dots. Are we looking at an individual who escalated from obsession to action — or can the defense’s “alternate suspect” theory still hold water? This is your full forensic breakdown — all the texts, searches, photos, and behavior — with FBI-level insight. #BryanKohberger #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #DatelineNBC #KohbergerSearchHistory #WhiteElantra #ForensicPsychology #KohbergerDNA #KingRoadKillings Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Did Bryan Kohberger Kill to Impress His Professor FBI Profiler Robin Dreeke Breaks It Down In this gripping episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dives into one of the most bizarre and controversial theories in the Bryan Kohberger case: the idea that Kohberger may have committed the murders of four University of Idaho students to impress his former professor, Dr. Katherine Ramsland. This theory, reported by journalist Howard Blum, has drawn comparisons to John Hinckley Jr.'s attempted assassination of President Reagan to impress actress Jodie Foster. But is it psychologically plausible? Dreeke, who once led the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, brings his deep expertise in motive, delusion, and high-risk behavioral patterns to break down the facts. Could Kohberger's academic obsession with serial killers have blurred the line between research and reality? Did he see his alleged crime as a twisted form of validation from a mentor he idolized? We explore how common—or rare—this type of motive actually is, what kind of psychological markers are typically present, and what kind of evidence investigators would need to verify such a theory in court. Dreeke also explains why the absence of hard proof doesn’t necessarily mean the theory is wrong—it just makes it legally dangerous to rely on it without corroboration. Whether you believe the "impress the professor" theory or not, Dreeke helps cut through the noise to reveal what behaviors actually matter in assessing this case. This is a must-watch for anyone trying to understand the psychology behind one of the most confusing and disturbing alleged motives in recent true crime history.
