Bryan Kohberger: The Evidence We’ll Never See — What A Jury Never Got to Hear

Donna Adelson’s Family Turns: Inside the Explosive Testimony from Her Own Children In this gripping breakdown, we dive into the raw courtroom moments that could define the fate of Donna Adelson—testimony not from prosecutors or hired experts, but from her own children. Defense Attorney and Former Prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski to dissect the emotionally charged statements from Robert and Wendy Adelson, revealing a family dynamic that’s anything but united. Robert came across as blunt, clinical, and disturbingly honest about his mother’s controlling nature, while Wendy played the “I don’t remember” card with an Olympic level of consistency. What does it mean when your own children don’t defend you—or worse, distance themselves entirely? Eric breaks down how jurors digest this kind of testimony, and whether these cracks in the family’s public image translate into hard evidence in court. Is it character assassination… or a clear window into Donna’s true influence? This episode pulls apart the psychology, strategy, and possible consequences of this damaging testimony—and what it could mean as the trial heads into even darker territory.

My TA Looks Like a Murderer" Kohberger Student NAILED IT, BEFORE Crimes! Before his arrest, before the trial, before the name Bryan Kohberger became infamous, there were warning signs. His time as a teaching assistant at Washington State was riddled with complaints — thirteen formal grievances in just three months. Students said he belittled them, intimidated them, harassed them. One wrote flat out: “my TA looks like a murderer.” Professors saw it too, warning colleagues that if he graduated, he’d end up committing serious crimes. In this segment, Tony Brueski and Jennifer Coffindaffer break down the chilling preview of who Kohberger really was. Professor Snyder described the “terrier routine,” where Kohberger would follow him endlessly, desperate to dominate even mundane interactions. Students and faculty alike called out the danger — but the machine of academia kept moving until it was too late. Then there are the loose ends in the evidence: presumptive blood found on a blanket and coat months after the fact, documentation gaps that raise eyebrows. These don’t undo the mountain of evidence, but they raise questions about thoroughness. Were investigators so focused on the big picture that they missed small but critical details? This conversation forces us to confront an uncomfortable truth: institutions often fail to act on red flags until tragedy makes them undeniable. Academia wrote him off as “odd.” Law enforcement may have left threads dangling. The result? Four innocent lives cut short.

Kohberger Dated Me: Three Disturbing Romantic Encounters Bryan Kohberger What happens when a first date turns into a chilling brush with a killer in waiting? Before Bryan Kohberger was arrested for the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students, he was just another guy on Tinder. But now, women across the country are speaking out—sharing eerie, unsettling encounters they had with him long before anyone knew his name. In this exclusive true crime deep dive, we explore the verified accounts of women who matched with Bryan Kohberger, went on dates with him, or interacted with him in private settings—and walked away shaken. From the Tinder match who was asked about the “worst way to die,” to a club dancer who was told he “wanted to kill people,” to the nursing student who received a message about her “birthing hips”—these encounters weren’t just weird. They were warnings. The women in these stories didn’t press charges. There was no physical violence. But every one of them remembers the moment they realized something was deeply wrong. And in the aftermath of Kohberger’s arrest, those memories have taken on a terrifying new weight. This episode pulls together every known report, quote, and first-person account involving Kohberger’s disturbing behavior around women—especially in dating or flirtation contexts. No speculation. No filler. Just the facts—and the psychological profile they build. These women weren’t victims in the legal sense. But they were his first targets. Before he allegedly stalked his victims in Moscow. Before the knife. Before the night. He was already rehearsing.

Jurors in Donna Adelson’s murder-for-hire trial are getting a front-row seat to some of the most damning evidence yet: her own words caught on FBI wiretaps, and the undercover operation known as the “bump” that rattled her family to the core. In this episode, we break down both. First, the wiretaps. Donna Adelson is heard talking about buying cemetery plots, worrying that her son Charlie is “on trial for his life,” and even discussing non-extradition countries as escape options. At one point, she doesn’t hang up after Charlie leaves the line, and the recorder captures her muttering—raw, unguarded, and deeply revealing. Prosecutors say it’s not just idle talk; it’s proof of a consciousness of guilt. Then comes the “bump.” In a bold undercover move, an FBI agent slipped Donna a note on a public street, pretending to be a former cellmate of hitman Sigfredo Garcia. The message? He knew about the murder plot and wanted $5,000 to keep quiet. From there, the pressure campaign escalated—phone calls, texts, and even contact with the family’s dental practice. The aftermath was telling: Charlie Adelson scrambled to buy concert tickets and a limo for Katherine “Katie” Magbanua and Garcia, trying to keep them close and under control. Together, the wiretaps and the bump form a devastating narrative: this wasn’t a family blindsided by false accusations, but one already planning escapes and bracing for exposure. Donna Adelson, now 75, stands accused of orchestrating the 2014 murder-for-hire of her former son-in-law, Florida State University law professor Dan Markel. Prosecutors argue she conspired with her son Charlie and others to eliminate Markel so her daughter and grandchildren could live freely in Miami. Charlie Adelson was convicted in 2023 and sentenced to life. Donna was arrested that same year at the Miami airport with a one-way ticket to Vietnam. Her trial in Tallahassee is expected to continue through September 5. Stay tuned as we unpack every detail.
