The Idaho Murders | The Case Against Bryan Kohberger

Ret. FBI Behavioral Analyst Chief Robin Dreeke on Kohberger: The Chilling Traits of an Alleged Organized Killer What does the behavior of Bryan Kohberger tell us about the mind behind the crime? Retired FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Behavioral Analysis Program, Robin Dreeke, joins us to break down the psychological patterns, control mechanisms, and potential compulsions behind what prosecutors allege is one of the most calculated mass murders in recent memory. In this gripping conversation, Dreeke explains the distinctions between organized and disorganized killers, where Kohberger’s alleged actions fit on that spectrum, and what traits—both seen and unseen—can emerge in high-functioning individuals who allegedly harbor violent intent. We explore his post-arrest demeanor, his academic background in criminology, and how that might have played into the behavioral architecture of the crime. Whether you're a student of criminal psychology or just want a deeper understanding of how profilers interpret suspects like Kohberger, this episode provides real-world insight from one of the FBI’s top minds. No speculation, no drama—just behavioral truth through a professional lens.

The Big Breakdown: Bryan Kohberger’s Mind, Mistakes & The Evidence Closing In In this full-case breakdown of Bryan Kohberger and the Idaho student murders, we’re connecting all the key pieces—courtroom rulings, digital evidence, forensic analysis, and behavioral insights—to paint the clearest picture yet of what’s really unfolding behind the headlines. You’ll hear everything that matters from the latest court rulings: The judge denying the defense’s attempt to remove the death penalty due to Kohberger’s autism diagnosis Admissibility of text messages from a surviving roommate during the actual time of the murders A heavily scrutinized 911 call that will now be allowed in court with redactions We also take you into the technical forensics that could seal Kohberger’s fate—cell tower mapping by FBI CAST, strange gaps in digital activity flagged by Cellebrite analysts, and how a single trace of touch DNA could override an otherwise meticulous plan. Then it gets psychological: Why would someone so “intelligent” fail to plan for failure? Former FBI agent Robin Dreeke offers insight into Kohberger’s stubborn refusal to provide an alibi, his possible behavioral mimicry of infamous killers like BTK, and how his own mother may be reinforcing his self-destructive belief system. And then there’s the digital echo of “Papa Rogers”—a Reddit persona eerily aligned with Kohberger’s profile and knowledge. Was this his way of taunting the investigation? With analysis from retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, we cover what may have looked calculated on the surface—but now appears to be collapsing under the weight of ego, outdated planning, and damning forensic science. This isn’t just a true crime case. It’s a study in how arrogance, obsession, and digital forensics collide. #BryanKohberger #Idaho4 #KohbergerTrial #UniversityOfIdahoMurders #TrueCrimePodcast #ForensicEvidence #TouchDNA #DigitalForensics #PapaRogers #FBIAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How Incel Ideology, DNA, Amazon & GPS Will Take Him Down The Bryan Kohberger case is one of the most disturbing and complex trials in recent true crime history—and it just keeps unraveling. As the man accused of brutally murdering four University of Idaho students faces the death penalty, the defense seems to be trying every legal maneuver in the book to derail the case. From challenging the admissibility of DNA found on the knife sheath to arguing mental health concerns based on autism spectrum disorder, Kohberger’s legal team is in full damage control mode. In this powerhouse episode, we’re joined by former FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit Chief Robin Dreeke and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, host of “Defense Diaries.” Together, they break down the tangled web of legal tactics, psychological red flags, and forensic goldmines that could make—or break—the prosecution’s case. What do Kohberger’s recently unlocked mental health records actually tell us? Is there a hidden pattern of obsession and escalation? Could his rumored ties to incel ideology be more than online chatter—and possibly part of a deeper motive? We also dig into the bizarre story of Kohberger being caught dumping baggies in a neighbor’s trash. Was it just trash—or an attempt to destroy evidence? With expert legal and psychological analysis, we explore whether this is a calculated killer hiding in plain sight or an unraveling loner making crucial mistakes. And when it comes to putting Kohberger on the stand, could that be the defense team’s last, desperate gamble? This is the breakdown you can’t miss—featuring expert insights that pull no punches. #BryanKohberger #TrueCrime #BobMotta #RobinDreeke #IdahoMurders #ForensicEvidence #KohbergerTrial #IncelIdeology #MentalHealthDefense #KnifeSheathDNA Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Six Clues That Suggest Kohberger Wanted to Be Caught Did Bryan Kohberger leave us a digital roadmap to his own alleged crimes? In this chilling deep dive, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott peel back the disturbing psychological layers of University of Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger. This episode isn’t just about what allegedly happened — it’s about why. And how the digital age may have exposed a killer not just through DNA, but through ego. We begin with Kohberger’s eerie 2020 criminology essay — an academic exercise that, in hindsight, reads more like a psychological confession. Was it just a student analyzing crime, or a man subconsciously (or deliberately) fantasizing about committing one? Then we examine the now-infamous thumbs-up mirror selfie — taken hours after the murders, while the victims’ bodies were still undiscovered. Was this a digital trophy? A nod to characters like Patrick Bateman or Norman Bates? And how does this tie into his alleged online behavior as “Papa Roger,” who eerily predicted details of the crime scene before they were public? We also explore the alleged stalking behavior, the suspected return to the crime scene, and the motive behind taunting the public with calculated anonymity. Is this a case of criminal narcissism, performative psychopathy, or simply the unraveling of a deeply disturbed mind?  Was the knife sheath DNA his only mistake — or part of a performance?  How do movies like American Psycho influence real-world killers?  Could Kohberger’s digital footprint be a confession masked as curiosity? This is the story of a man who may have studied murder like a science — and left behind evidence not just in blood, but in pixels. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #PapaRoger #Criminology #Psychopathy #AmericanPsycho #DigitalEvidence #ForensicPsychology #UniversityOfIdaho Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

'Alternate Suspect' or Last-Ditch Lie, Bryan Kohberger’s Defense Strategy Examined In this gripping episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we’re diving deep into the courtroom behavior of Bryan Kohberger, the accused murderer in the University of Idaho quadruple homicide case. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, former Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, joins us to break down the psychology behind Kohberger’s latest courtroom moves—including his explosive last-minute claim that an alternate suspect committed the crimes. From a behavioral analysis perspective, what does it mean when a suspect suddenly points the finger elsewhere—nearly two years after their arrest? Is this a legitimate revelation, or a strategic act of desperation? Robin guides us through the clues hiding in plain sight: Kohberger’s silent demeanor, his calculated eye contact (or lack of it), and even his legal team’s push to control courtroom optics, language, and jury emotion. We discuss the importance of body language, courtroom control tactics, and behavioral red flags that may reveal more than any DNA test. Robin also explores the controversial use of Kohberger’s autism diagnosis—is it being used to explain odd behavior, or to shield more sinister intent? This is an in-depth behavioral breakdown of one of the most perplexing defendants in recent memory. Don’t miss what a real FBI profiler sees when Kohberger walks into court. #BryanKohberger #FBIProfiler #UniversityOfIdahoMurders #TrueCrimeAnalysis #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
