“Murder for Mentorship: FBI Profiler Explores Kohberger’s Alleged Obsession with Ramsland”-WEEK IN REVIEW

Fresh Breaks in the D4vd : Celeste Rivas Case & What We Hear in the Kohberger Tapes 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was missing for 17 months. Then her body was found wrapped in plastic inside a Tesla registered to music artist D4vd, abandoned in the Hollywood Hills. Bryan Kohberger stabbed four students to death—then calmly walked into Costco hours later, shopping like nothing happened. These are two of the most disturbing cases in recent memory. And in this full episode of Hidden Killers, I sit down with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to analyze the behavior that reveals what’s really going on beneath the surface. We cover: 🔪 The full Celeste Rivas timeline: from missing person to body in a trunk 🔪 Grooming signs: matching tattoos, shared messages, and behavioral control 🔪 Why no one has been charged in Celeste’s case—and what that means 🔪 Kohberger’s post-murder shopping trip: what investigators read in "normal" behavior 🔪 Survivor interviews: how trauma sounds vs. how the internet twists it 🔪 Community silence: why people didn’t speak up—until it was too late 🔪 What predators count on: your discomfort, your delay, your disbelief Celeste was visible in Discord chats, Twitch streams, and shared screenshots. Kohberger’s every move was caught on surveillance. Yet in both cases, the public missed what mattered most: the behavior. Robin Dreeke brings the FBI’s playbook to the table—no fluff, no conspiracy nonsense, just how trained profilers decode grooming, concealment, and control. 👉  Bryan Kohberger has pleaded guilty and is serving life in prison. 👉 Celeste Rivas is dead. Her cause of death is still pending. No charges have been filed.  But the signs were there. And we walk you through every one of them. If you're here for real analysis—not internet guesswork—this is the episode. 🏷️ HASHTAGS  #CelesteRivas #D4vd #BryanKohberger #KohbergerVideo #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #FBIProfiler #TrunkDiscovery #PostCrimeBehavior Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

BIG BREAKDOWN - Bryan Kohberger's Pathetic INSECURITIES Exposed New revelations are pulling back the curtain on Bryan Kohberger’s life immediately after the Idaho student murders, and they raise disturbing questions about how this case may be understood. The night after the killings, Kohberger’s mother sent him a news article detailing the horrific injuries of victim Zana Kernodle — including bruises that showed she fought back. Was it a mother simply sharing a local crime story with her son? Or, knowing what we know now, was there something darker in the tone of those conversations? Investigators and analysts are asking whether Kohberger and his mother spoke in coded ways about the crimes, with his obsession shifting between gruesome details and a “sweet girl at the coffee shop” — eerily similar to the barista he allegedly made uncomfortable by stalking her. But that’s not all. Newly released images from Kohberger’s apartment offer a rare look inside his private world. Far from the clutter of a normal graduate student, his space was stripped down to bare walls, minimal belongings, and an almost sterile environment. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down what that could mean: Was it evidence of a personality detached from normal human connection, or a deliberate “scrubbing” to hide traces of blood and evidence — just like how investigators said he dismantled his car after the murders? Perhaps most startling: investigators discovered a prescription in his apartment for levothyroxine, a thyroid medication. While commonly used and safe for millions, in the context of Kohberger’s other self-reported conditions — autism spectrum, OCD, ADHD, ARFID — it raises questions about whether he was properly medicated, mismedicated, or even taking it at all. Could untreated or poorly managed health conditions have fed into his volatile state of mind? From his mother’s unsettling messages to the sterile emptiness of his apartment, each new detail deepens the puzzle of Bryan Kohberger. Was this careful planning, psychological unraveling, or both?

Big Breakdown - How Many People Was Bryan Kohberger Stalking? This episode of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels dives deep into one of the most unsettling new drops in the Brian Kohberger case — hundreds of images pulled from his phone, including bizarre selfies that paint a disturbing picture of the accused Idaho student killer’s state of mind. From mirror shots in his bathroom to unsettling poses with strange “codes” written on scraps of paper, the photos raise serious questions. Was Kohberger documenting himself for vanity, or leaving cryptic clues tied to the murders of four University of Idaho students? Viewers will see images that range from awkward, almost staged modeling attempts to chillingly deliberate shots that seem to hint at hidden meaning. But it doesn’t stop there. Newly obtained reports detail how Kohberger allegedly stalked women at Washington State University long before the murders — knocking on windows, watching them through doors, even following them to their homes. His behavior pushed boundaries of fear and control, blurring the line between creepy intrusions and escalating predatory patterns. Tony, Stacy, and Todd dissect the evidence in real time: Was this narcissism? A ritual? Or another way Kohberger fed his obsession with power and control? The team also asks the bigger question — why do red flags like this so often get ignored? From the lack of follow-up on stalking reports to the way predators slip through cracks in schools and workplaces, the conversation turns toward the systemic failures that allow these warning signs to fester until it’s too late. This is not just about photos. It’s about the psychology behind them, the danger of dismissing “creepy” behavior, and what society can do when the next Brian Kohberger starts showing the signs.

BIG BREAKDOWN - Why Did Bryan Kohberger Do It? In one of the most haunting true crime cases of our time, the question still hangs heavy: Why did Bryan Kohberger do it? In this Big Breakdown, Tony Brueski and the Hidden Killers team explore the possible motives, psychological profiles, and investigative revelations surrounding the Idaho student murders. Drawing from court filings, expert commentary, and newly surfaced details, we examine the theories about Kohberger’s state of mind. Was it obsession? A need for control? A violent compulsion? Or some combination of all of the above? While the evidence against him points to planning and methodical behavior, the bigger question is why — what inner drive could push someone from thought to action in such a brutal way? This breakdown doesn’t speculate wildly — it digs into what’s documented and what experts say about criminal psychology, Kohberger’s academic writings, and his online behavior. By connecting the dots between his past struggles, his studies in criminology, and his alleged actions, we ask the question that matters most: what led Bryan Kohberger from theory to practice, from fascination to murder?

Big Breakdown - A New Look At Kohberger's Selfies & Home In this Big Breakdown, Tony Brueski takes you inside the chilling details of the newly released photos from Bryan Kohberger’s personal life — the selfies, the snapshots, and the eerie images from inside his home and office. These visuals, pulled from official sources, are more than just random pictures: they provide a disturbing window into the private world of the man accused of murdering four University of Idaho students. We explore how investigators catalogued and analyzed these images, what they reveal about Kohberger’s personality and obsessions, and how they fit into the larger case against him. From his carefully curated online presence to the stark, unsettling emptiness of his living spaces, each photo adds another layer to understanding who Bryan Kohberger was before the night of the killings. Are these pictures simply benign glimpses of everyday life, or do they expose something deeper, more sinister about his psychology? In this episode, we break down what the selfies and surroundings suggest — and why prosecutors may use them to strengthen their narrative at trial.

Bryan Kohberger Case: FBI Veteran Reacts to Bethany Funke’s Trauma Breaking updates in the Bryan Kohberger case continue to surface nearly three years after the horrific Idaho Four murders. Newly released footage of surviving roommate Bethany Funke’s FBI interview offers an emotional and revealing look inside one of the case’s most critical witness statements. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, host of Break the Case, gives a powerful analysis of the interview style, Bethany’s demeanor, and what this testimony means for the larger investigation. Bethany Funke, who lived at 1122 King Road on the night her roommates were brutally murdered, is seen crying throughout the interview—her voice trembling, her body language withdrawn, her trauma unmistakable. Coffindaffer notes how essential first impressions are in an interview: Bethany appeared terrified yet truthful, showing the hallmarks of someone recounting trauma, not deception. She emphasizes that while Bethany has faced online shaming and baseless blame, the reality is that it is a miracle she survived that night at all. Coffindaffer critiques the FBI process, pointing out the absence of a female agent in the room, the lack of a second interviewer, and the failure to obtain written consent before reviewing Bethany’s phone. Yet she praises the interviewer’s calm, empathetic approach, describing him as organized, compassionate, and effective in drawing out crucial details without intimidation. The interview’s focus on Bethany’s phone, social media, and timeline was intentional: investigators needed her cooperation and her sequence of events to determine who could be cleared. Bethany’s account ultimately provided her with a strong alibi and solidified investigators’ belief that she was not involved in the crime. This newly surfaced material is a stark reminder of the human toll left behind in the wake of Bryan Kohberger’s alleged crimes. It also underscores the importance of careful, trauma-informed interviewing in high-profile true crime cases.
