My TA Looks Like a Murderer” Kohberger’s Student CALLED Him Out Before Murders!
My TA Looks Like a Murderer” Kohberger’s Student CALLED Him Out Before Murders! Before Bryan Kohberger was arrested for the murders of four University of Idaho students, he was known to many at Washington State University as a creepy, arrogant teaching assistant. Newly unsealed documents and firsthand student accounts are painting a disturbing picture of what it was like to work under him in the fall of 2022. One student emailed a friend early in the semester with a chilling line: “My TA looks like a murderer.” At the time it was a joke, but weeks later, Kohberger would be in custody for one of the most notorious college-town crimes in recent memory. Students describe Kohberger not as a helpful TA, but as a condescending figure who belittled classmates, made misogynistic and ableist remarks, and seemed obsessed with control. Complaints include him calling a divorced woman “broken” and asking a deaf student if she should even have children. Female students reported him blocking doors, leaning too close, and hovering in ways that felt intimidating. One undergrad was so uncomfortable she had to be escorted home. In just three months, at least 13 formal complaints were filed against him. Some professors even worried aloud that if he became a professor, he would use his authority to harass or stalk students. His arrogance also spilled outside of class, with one peer saying Kohberger bragged in a parking lot for hours about how he could “pick up any woman he wanted.” After the November 13 murders, students noticed Kohberger looked disheveled, avoided talking about the case, and bore cuts and bruises on his hands. At least one student reported those injuries to police. In this video, we take you inside the classrooms and hallways where students experienced Kohberger firsthand — and show how their instincts, complaints, and even jokes now look like warnings in hindsight. #BryanKohberger #Idaho4 #MoscowMurders #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #WSU #TrueCrimeCommunity #BryanKohbergerTA #IdahoCase #CrimeNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

EXPOSING NEW Pappa Rodger Clues About Kohberger With Ret FBI Jennifer Coffindaffer
EXPOSING NEW Pappa Rodger Clues About Kohberger With Ret FBI Jennifer Coffindaffer The Idaho murders case has a digital ghost haunting it — an online persona known as Pappa Rodger. From the moment the crime shocked the nation, this mysterious account was posting eerily accurate predictions. The sheath, the weapon, even the patterns of behavior — it was all there before the public knew. And the question has never gone away: was Pappa Rodger really Bryan Kohberger? Law enforcement has insisted the answer is no. They claim after a “deep dive,” the account was ruled out. But retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer isn’t quick to close that book. In this conversation with Tony Brueski, she digs into the contradictions: the combative tone, the obsessive need to prove superiority, the survey-like questions that echoed Kohberger’s criminology work. VPNs and masked IPs make it nearly impossible to prove definitively. So should we really take “not him” at face value? The overlap is unnerving. Too precise to be coincidence, too familiar to ignore. If Pappa Rodger wasn’t Kohberger, then who was it? Someone with an uncanny insight into the murders? A lucky guesser? Or another figure entirely with access to information they shouldn’t have had? This isn’t just about one case. It’s about the way anonymity online can blur into real-world horror. Pappa Rodger may be gone, but the mystery lingers. And until the evidence is made public, we’re left asking: how do you ever really prove a digital ghost isn’t who you think it is?

Donna Adelson’s Son & Wendy’s Ex DESTROY Her in Court!
Donna Adelson’s Son & Wendy’s Ex DESTROY Her in Court! The Donna Adelson trial just delivered its most explosive testimony yet — not from investigators or experts, but from the people who knew her best. Her oldest son, Dr. Robert Adelson, and her daughter Wendy’s ex-boyfriend, Professor Jeffrey Lacasse, both took the stand, and their words could haunt Donna for the rest of her life. Robert Adelson painted a portrait of his mother as the controlling matriarch of the family. He told jurors that Donna was “very involved” in Wendy’s divorce, deeply enmeshed in her children’s personal lives, and — most chillingly — dismissive after Dan Markel’s murder. When Robert asked her what she thought had happened, Donna told him flatly: “I don’t know and I don’t care. It doesn’t concern me.” He also revealed that his mother warned him not to speak to the FBI after the murder — advice he rejected. Then came Jeffrey Lacasse, who recounted disturbing conversations with Wendy Adelson just days before the murder. On July 13th, 2014, Wendy told him “the only way she’d ever relocate is if something happened to Danny.” She went further, confiding that her brother Charlie had looked into “all options” to deal with the “Danny problem,” including hiring a hitman for $15,000. Lacasse said she was deadly serious — “it made my stomach flip.” He also described Wendy pulling her children’s artwork off the wall days before the murder, her obsessive questioning about his exact travel plans for July 18th, and her confession about a “celebration dinner” with Charlie where she vomited at the table. Together, Robert and Lacasse gave jurors a devastating view of Donna Adelson’s influence, the family’s secretive culture, and the obsession with relocation that prosecutors say led to Dan Markel’s death. Watch as we break down every shocking detail of this testimony — and what it means for the fate of Donna Adelson.

Donna Adelson Trial: Katherine Magbanua Testifies Against Donna Adelson in Emotional Turn
Donna Adelson Trial: Katherine Magbanua Testifies Against Donna Adelson in Emotional Turn The day ended with dramatic testimony from Katherine Magbanua, once accused of being the crucial link between the Adelson family and the hired killers. Now serving her own conviction in the case, Magbanua took the stand in the Trial of Donna Adelson and delivered a raw, emotional account of why she finally decided to tell the truth. “The truth needed to come out and the people responsible needed to be arrested,” she declared. Magbanua admitted that she had lied in the past, protecting herself and others, but explained that after her conviction she saw no reason to keep the cover-up alive. Her testimony directly implicated Donna, describing how the family pulled strings and kept payments flowing to ensure silence. For jurors, this was the voice of someone once inside the conspiracy—now turning against its alleged mastermind. Her words mattered not just for their content, but for their delivery. Magbanua’s emotional clarity carried the weight of lived experience. She was no longer denying, no longer dodging—she was naming Donna Adelson as the orchestrator. In a trial filled with theories and circumstantial evidence, Magbanua gave jurors something far more dangerous: a firsthand account of complicity, regret, and accusation. #DonnaAdelsonTrial #KatherineMagbanua #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #FloridaTrial #CourtroomDrama #AdelsonFamily #WitnessTestimony #JusticeForDan Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

From Murderer to Menu Critic: Kohberger’s Bizarre Prison Grievances
From Murderer to Menu Critic: Kohberger’s Bizarre Prison Grievances It wasn’t enough for Bryan Kohberger to complain about harassment. He then filed a third grievance—this time about his food tray. Kohberger cited prison nutrition standards and demanded replacements for items that were missing at meal service. He signed the letter like a child, hoping the formal language would carry weight. Prison officials didn’t budge. Their response was curt: disruptions happen, J-Block is calm, and no, B-Block won’t be any better. In this segment, Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to analyze what these letters really tell us about Kohberger’s mindset. Once a criminology PhD student, he believed prison would turn him into a case study, maybe even a figure of fascination. Instead, inmates taunt him, staff ignore him, and the public laughs at his pathetic attempts to manipulate the system. Robin explains why Kohberger’s letters showcase his lack of emotional intelligence, his total social ineptitude, and why prison is exposing him as nothing more than an empty shell. Kohberger isn’t brilliant, he isn’t special—he’s a hollow man who can’t adapt, and prison is proving it. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #PrisonLetters #HiddenKillers #Justice #PrisonNews #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimePodcast #CourtCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna Adelson Trial: Friend Ryan Fitzpatrick Testifies on Charlie & Donna’s Close Bond
Donna Adelson Trial: Friend Ryan Fitzpatrick Testifies on Charlie & Donna’s Close Bond The Trial of Donna Adelson turned deeply personal when Ryan Fitzpatrick, once a close friend of Charlie Adelson, stepped forward to testify. Fitzpatrick painted a picture of a son tightly bound to his mother and sister, describing Charlie’s family as unusually close-knit—sometimes to the point of dysfunction. He also corroborated testimony about Charlie’s odd cash-handling habits, recalling how Charlie would staple money in $1,000 bundles, echoing the same detail June Umchinda shared. Fitzpatrick’s testimony mattered because it reinforced the theme prosecutors are driving home: that the Adelson family operated as a unit, with Donna at the center of decision-making. His words added context to how influential Donna was over her children’s lives and how family loyalty could evolve into something darker when faced with challenges like custody battles and relocation disputes. The defense may try to frame this as nothing more than cultural or familial closeness, but Fitzpatrick’s account landed heavily in the courtroom. It gave jurors an insider’s view into Charlie’s priorities, his reliance on family approval, and how far that loyalty may have stretched. For a mother now on trial for orchestrating murder, that closeness is a double-edged sword. #DonnaAdelsonTrial #RyanFitzpatrick #CharlieAdelson #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #CourtroomTestimony #TrueCrime #FloridaJustice #AdelsonFamily #TrialCoverage Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna Adelson Trial: Ex-Girlfriend June Umchinda Reveals Charlie Adelson’s Cash & Stress
Donna Adelson Trial: Ex-Girlfriend June Umchinda Reveals Charlie Adelson’s Cash & Stress June Umchinda, a former girlfriend of Charlie Adelson, took the stand in the Trial of Donna Adelson and opened a window into the Adelson family’s world behind closed doors. Her testimony centered on Charlie’s odd financial habits and his demeanor after the undercover FBI “bump” shook the family in 2016. She recalled Charlie keeping large amounts of cash at home, neatly stapled into $1,000 bundles—an unusual detail that prosecutors say lines up with testimony from others close to him. Umchinda described how Charlie appeared rattled and anxious after law enforcement made their presence known in the family’s orbit. These observations may seem like personal reflections, but in the context of this trial, they carry weight. Prosecutors are using her testimony to establish a pattern: that the Adelsons were fully aware of the danger closing in, and that their financial dealings hinted at something beyond normal business. Her words bring jurors closer to understanding how Charlie, and by extension Donna, operated when under pressure. If Charlie was keeping hidden cash, was it intended as an escape fund? Was it proof of payments in a criminal conspiracy? While the defense insists there are innocent explanations, Umchinda’s glimpse into Charlie’s life suggests that the Adelsons’ behavior was anything but ordinary. #DonnaAdelsonTrial #CharlieAdelson #JuneUmchinda #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #FloridaTrial #AdelsonFamily #CashBundles #CourtroomTestimony #JusticeForDan Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna Adelson's Children, Wendy & Robert TURN on Their Mother Court!
Donna Adelson's Children, Wendy & Robert TURN on Their Mother Court! The Donna Adelson murder-for-hire trial has taken a shocking turn — with two days of testimony that could change everything. On the stand, Donna’s daughter Wendy Adelson, her eldest son Robert, and Wendy’s ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Lacasse each delivered damning statements that prosecutors say tie the Adelson family directly to the 2014 killing of Florida State law professor Dan Markel. Wendy Adelson, testifying under subpoena with immunity, admitted that her mother pushed her relentlessly during the divorce — urging her to “put on a performance” in court, to fake a conversion of her children to Catholicism, even to use psychological tricks to “take control” of Markel. Emails shown to the jury revealed Donna calling Markel names, proposing a $1 million bribe, and demanding relocation as “non-negotiable.” Then came Robert Adelson, who described his mother as “controlling” and “overly involved.” He recalled Donna renting Wendy an apartment to escape Markel, working on court filings, and, most disturbingly, showing zero curiosity after the murder. When Robert asked Donna what she thought had happened, she told him, “I don’t know and I don’t care. It doesn’t concern me.” He also testified that she warned him not to speak with police. But perhaps the most devastating testimony came from Wendy’s ex, Jeffrey Lacasse. He described Wendy canceling a vacation just weeks before the murder with an odd explanation. He testified that Wendy told him “the only way I’ll ever relocate is if something happens to Danny” — and that Charlie had looked into “all options” to handle the “Dan Markel problem,” including hiring a hitman for $15,000. Lacasse said this was no joke — “it made my stomach flip.” With testimony like this, prosecutors are building a case that Donna Adelson wasn’t just a worried mother. She was the architect of a conspiracy. Watch as we break down every key moment from Wendy, Robert, and Jeffrey’s testimony — and what it could mean for Donna Adelson’s future.
