Bryan Kohberger’s Creepiest Moments: Seven Witnesses Speak Out
Bryan Kohberger’s Creepiest Moments: Seven Witnesses Speak Out Before Bryan Kohberger was arrested for the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students, there were warnings—unsettling, personal, and deeply chilling. In this gripping episode, we uncover the stories of seven individuals who encountered Kohberger in the months leading up to the crime. They didn’t know what he was capable of—but they all walked away with the same haunting feeling: Something wasn’t right. From a barista who was stunned when Kohberger said her name without ever being told… To a hotel clerk who watched him explode with rage, then flirt, then casually talk about knives… To classmates who heard him ask in a study group: “What do you think goes through someone’s mind while they’re stabbing someone?” These aren’t vague red flags. They’re first-person accounts—now backed by police interviews, unsealed documents, and new investigative reporting. Each one offers a chilling window into Kohberger’s escalating behavior and his quiet obsession with control, violence, and fear. He wasn’t just hiding in plain sight. He was rehearsing. This episode explores the full timeline of these encounters—what they saw, what they missed, and why none of them added up until it was far too late. If you're interested in the psychology of a killer, missed warning signs, or the unraveling of one of the most disturbing true crime cases in recent history—this is the episode to watch.

The FULL Donna Adelson Extravaganza: FBI Profiler Robin Dreeke Dissects Donna, Wendy & Charlie Adelson’s Narcissistic Lives
The FULL Donna Adelson Extravaganza: FBI Profiler Robin Dreeke Dissects Donna, Wendy & Charlie Adelson’s Narcissistic Lives In this explosive deep dive, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, former head of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, joins Hidden Killers Live to unravel the tangled psychology of the Adelson family. At the center of this discussion: Donna Adelson’s obsessive control, Charlie Adelson’s dangerous insecurities, and Wendy Adelson’s revealing slip-ups that pointed investigators toward a murder-for-hire plot. The episode begins with comparisons between Jackie Fulford, Donna’s so-called “doppelgänger attorney,” and the broader Adelson pattern of surrounding themselves with mirrors of their own self-image. Dreeke describes this as the classic “echo chamber” — a family environment where validation replaces reality, breeding narcissism, paranoia, and control. From there, the conversation turns to the police interrogation of Dr. Jeffrey Lacoste, Wendy Adelson’s ex-boyfriend. His testimony is not only haunting but also deeply telling. Lacoste recalls Wendy confiding that her brother Charlie had “looked into options” for getting rid of Dan Markel. He describes Charlie openly talking about money, hitmen, and how much it would cost — chilling disclosures that made Charlie the first suspect to enter his mind when news of Dan’s murder broke. Robin Dreeke dissects Lacoste’s credibility, noting his remarkable memory for dates, his consistent disclosure tempo, and his vulnerability as a man still under Wendy’s spell. Dreeke explains how narcissistic family systems thrive on manipulation, impulsivity, and a desperate need for external validation — traits seen across Donna, Wendy, and Charlie. The discussion also explores Charlie Adelson’s bizarre associations with Green Berets, criminal circles, and the Latin Kings, questioning why a wealthy dentist would gravitate toward such company. Dreeke suggests this was Charlie’s way of masking insecurity, rebelling against his mother’s dominance, and fabricating an image of power. This is not just a story of one murder — it’s a case study in how toxic family dynamics, unchecked narcissism, and impulsive decisions can escalate into tragedy.

Donna Adelson Trial: Private Investigators Tarana Kahn & Eddie Varnes
Donna Adelson Trial: Private Investigators Tarana Kahn & Eddie Varnes The Trial of Donna Adelson pressed forward today with testimony from two private investigators, Tarana Kahn and Eddie Varnes, who each offered critical insight into the defense’s strategy and the timeline of events surrounding the 2014 murder of law professor Dan Markel. Kahn and Varnes were brought in as part of the defense team’s efforts to reframe the investigation and sow doubt about the Adelson family’s alleged role in the murder-for-hire plot. Their testimony zeroed in on investigative procedure, evidence handling, and the reliability of witnesses who tied the Adelsons to the crime. Both investigators suggested there were gaps in how law enforcement gathered and interpreted information, raising questions about whether the narrative against Donna Adelson had been too narrowly focused from the start. But the prosecution was ready. They used cross-examination to underscore that while private investigators can surface alternative theories, they do not operate under the same legal standards or evidentiary safeguards as state investigators. Jurors watched as the credibility of these defense witnesses was tested in real time. Were they uncovering genuine blind spots in the case—or simply muddying the waters for Donna Adelson? What made this testimony particularly compelling is how it speaks to the broader defense playbook. Instead of outright denying the mountain of wiretaps and coded conversations implicating the Adelson family, the strategy appears aimed at creating just enough uncertainty that one or two jurors might hesitate. Kahn and Varnes are crucial to that approach, providing the “alternative story” Donna’s attorneys desperately need the jury to consider. This segment highlights the delicate dance between defense-hired experts and prosecutors determined to expose bias. With each exchange, jurors are left to decide: Are these investigators uncovering truths, or simply performing damage control for a family accused of orchestrating murder? 🏷 Hashtags #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #TrialCoverage #HiddenKillers #PrivateInvestigator #CourtroomDrama #MurderForHire #JusticeForDan #AdelsonTrial Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Barista’s Kohberger NIGHTMARE: “He Watched Me. He Knew My Shifts. Then He Said My Name.”
Barista’s Kohberger NIGHTMARE: “He Watched Me. He Knew My Shifts. Then He Said My Name.” Before Bryan Kohberger was arrested for the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students, there were warning signs—quiet, subtle, and deeply chilling. In this true crime episode, we dive into a newly unsealed police report revealing one of the most unsettling pre-crime encounters yet: Kohberger’s obsessive behavior toward a local barista. She never wore a name tag. Never introduced herself. And yet, Kohberger said her name like he’d always known it. This wasn’t just a creepy moment—it was the final crack in a pattern she’d been noticing for weeks. Kohberger came in almost daily, often right before closing. He never made small talk with other baristas. He only spoke to her. He asked about her psychology program. Referenced things she hadn’t shared. And he seemed to know exactly when she’d be working. Then came the comment that confirmed everything. After bringing in a female friend and prompting her to guess where the barista was from, Kohberger turned and said, “See, I told you she was smart.” A joke? Maybe. Or a glimpse into something far more sinister. In hindsight, she was being watched. Studied. Tracked. This episode walks you through the entire encounter—from routine coffee orders to a terrifying realization—layered with psychological analysis and forensic context. If you want to understand the mind of Kohberger before the crimes, this is where the mask first slipped. Subscribe now for more firsthand accounts, behavioral breakdowns, and exclusive access to hidden red flags that went unnoticed until it was too late. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #KohbergerTrial #TrueCrimePodcast #StalkingBehavior #BaristaStory #PsychologicalProfiling #CrimeBeforeTheCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
