Rex Heuermann's Burlap, Hair, and Pizza: The Forensic Breaks That Nailed the Gilgo Suspect

Netflix’s Unknown Number: Lauren Licari & Owen’s Romance DESTROYED by Catfish Mom Beal City, Michigan — Lauren Licari and her boyfriend Owen were the picture-perfect high school couple. Smart, popular, and headed for bright futures. But in Netflix’s Unknown Number: The High School Catfish, their love story is hijacked by a flood of anonymous texts. What began as harmless pranks quickly spiraled into 40–50 messages a day — brutal lies about Owen cheating, cruel body-shaming attacks, and chilling commands for Lauren to end her own life. The harassment poisoned their relationship, tore apart their trust, and turned teenage romance into a nightmare. This breakdown of Netflix’s Unknown Number looks at how cyberbullying metastasized into psychological torture — and how the anonymous stalker pushed Lauren and Owen to the breaking point. #Netflix #UnknownNumber #LaurenLicari #Owen #KendraLicari #catfish #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #truecrime #cyberbullying Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger’s Diagnoses: Autism, OCD, ADHD & ARFID — What They Mean (and Don’t) Bryan Kohberger shocked the world when he admitted to murdering four University of Idaho students in November 2022. But in 2025, inside a quiet courtroom, another revelation came to light: a list of mental health diagnoses Kohberger disclosed on his competency waiver. Autism Spectrum Disorder (Level 1). Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). And Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). What do these diagnoses actually mean? And do they shed light on the disturbing path that led Kohberger to stalk, plan, and brutally end four young lives? In this episode, we break down each condition in plain, human terms — autism, OCD, ADHD, ARFID — and explore how they may have shaped certain aspects of Kohberger’s personality and behavior. From his rigid eating habits to his obsessive control over details, from social detachment to hyperfocus on crime, the diagnoses paint a complicated picture of a troubled man. But here’s the crucial point: these conditions explain quirks, not choices. Millions of people live with autism, OCD, ADHD, or ARFID. They face challenges, but they do not commit violent crimes. Kohberger’s actions were not driven by uncontrollable compulsions or neurological destiny. They were deliberate. Calculated. And deadly. This is not a story about labels. It’s about accountability. The court made that clear when Kohberger admitted his conditions did not impair his decision-making. The diagnoses may help us understand him — but they do not excuse him. Join us as we dive into the chilling story of Bryan Kohberger’s courtroom diagnoses, the context behind them, and why they fail to answer the haunting question that still lingers: why? #BryanKohberger #IdahoFour #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #Podcast #Autism #OCD #ADHD #ARFID #TrueCrimePodcast #Justice Welcome to the "Week in Review," where we delve into the true stories behind this week's headlines.

A hidden detail buried in evidence photos from Bryan Kohberger’s apartment has just come to light. Amid the stacks of papers and personal items was a prescription slip with a National Drug Code. That code confirms the medication he was taking: Levothyroxine. This isn’t speculation — it’s documented. Levothyroxine is prescribed for hypothyroidism, a thyroid condition where the body doesn’t produce enough hormones to regulate energy, mood, and metabolism. Millions of people take it safely every single day. But in the context of Kohberger, it opens a new line of understanding. Hypothyroidism can cause fatigue, depression, mental fog, or obsessive loops. If over-corrected, Levothyroxine can swing the body the other direction — creating sleeplessness, jitteriness, irritability, and racing thoughts. For a man already known for obsessive control, cold stares, late-night pacing, and compulsive behaviors, this layer of instability may have amplified what witnesses were already noticing. This is not about demonizing medication. Levothyroxine is safe. But the revelation that Kohberger needed it shows his body was already unsteady, his chemistry already in flux. In someone consumed by control and obsession, that instability could have been one more factor feeding the storm. It doesn’t excuse what he did. The drug didn’t cause murder. But it’s another clue that helps explain why Kohberger presented the way he did — restless, rigid, obsessive, and unsettling to those around him. This discovery changes the frame of the story. The evidence shows not just a man obsessed with criminology, but a man whose own body was at war with balance. 👉 Subscribe for more exclusive breakdowns on Hidden Killers, and join us live every weekday at 10 a.m. CT.
