Bryan Kohberger’s Broken Brain: Control, Family & Obsession

Bryan Kohberger’s Broken Brain: Control, Family & Obsession

Bryan Kohberger’s Broken Brain: Control, Family & Obsession

The story of Bryan Kohberger isn’t just about four lives stolen in Moscow, Idaho. It’s also about a lifetime of obsessions, failures, and fractured psychology that built the man accused of those crimes.

From his teenage years, Kohberger described himself as numb, detached, incapable of empathy. He filled journals and online posts with accounts of feeling unreal, seeing the world through “visual snow,” and struggling to connect with anyone. As he grew older, those feelings didn’t fade — they hardened into obsessions. Nightly “stargazing” drives were really peeping expeditions. Porn searches zeroed in on unconscious women, rape, and voyeurism. Power and control weren’t just fantasies — they became the only way his brain seemed to process intimacy.

At the same time, Kohberger never cut the cord with his parents. Friends recall him referring to them, even as an adult, as “mother” and “father,” calling daily, relying on them for stability he couldn’t generate for himself. Experts say this dependence highlights fragility: a man desperate for grounding, yet incapable of independence.

So what drove him? Was his criminology research an academic pursuit, or a desperate attempt to decode himself? Did his failures in relationships, in confidence, in basic human connection funnel him toward darker outlets? Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to dissect Kohberger’s “broken brain” — the obsessions, the dependence, the fragile ego that demanded dominance but never found identity.

This is a psychological autopsy of a man who could never quite find himself — and instead tried to build power by taking everything from others.

Full FBI Behavioral Breakdown of Donna Adelson — Robin Dreeke Interview

Full FBI Behavioral Breakdown of Donna Adelson — Robin Dreeke Interview This is the full story of Donna Adelson’s unraveling—told through behavior, psychology, and decades of emotional control. In this complete interview with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, we examine every layer of the Adelson family: the cold reaction to the undercover bump, the manipulation of her children, the narcissistic courtroom performance, and the chilling codependence with Charlie Adelson. This isn’t just a recap—it’s a behavioral autopsy. Robin breaks down what law enforcement saw in Donna that the public is only beginning to understand: a woman whose reactions betray her, whose family is programmed to obey, and whose carefully crafted identity is crumbling under the weight of exposure. We explore the signs of narcissism, the psychological tools she used to control her kids, and why the jury might be seeing through all of it. You’ll hear the whole arc—from the moment Donna didn’t panic, to the moment her children started to turn. This is the Hidden Killers exclusive everyone’s talking about. Full interview.

Donna Adelson on Trial: Mastermind Or Losing Her Mind?

Donna Adelson on Trial: Mastermind Or Losing Her Mind?

Donna Adelson on Trial: Mastermind Or Losing Her Mind? A grandmother. A custody battle. A cold-blooded killing. And now, a trial that could finally reveal who really orchestrated the murder of Dan Markel. In this comprehensive episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski sits down with defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis to break down the most compelling elements of the case against Donna Adelson. From the emotionally distant testimony of her own children… to the 44 paychecks she allegedly signed for a murder-for-hire intermediary… to a suspicious one-way ticket to Vietnam… this case is stacked with bizarre twists and damning behavior. But is it enough to convict? Eric and Tony explore the strategies on both sides of the courtroom—how the prosecution is painting Donna as the mastermind, and how the defense is desperately trying to reframe her as a grandmother in over her head. If you want to understand the psychology, the evidence, and the legal stakes of one of the most fascinating murder trials in recent memory, this is the episode that brings it all together.
