When Justice Fails | Bryan Kohberger’s Profits & The Abby Zwerner Trial-WEEK IN REVIEW

FBI Analysis: The Dark Meaning Behind Bryan Kohberger’s Sadistic Selfies When investigators dug into Bryan Kohberger’s phone, they expected evidence. What they found instead was a strange and haunting window into his psyche: a private archive of shirtless selfies, mirror shots, and images that felt less like social media fodder and more like a shrine to himself. FBI experts compared the collection to Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, a character obsessed with his own reflection and detached from reality. On the surface, selfies aren’t unusual. Generations live their lives in front of phone cameras. But in Kohberger’s case, the timing and secrecy turn ordinary vanity into something darker. He wasn’t posting them. He wasn’t sharing them. He was documenting himself for himself — hours after phone calls with his mother, hours after circling the crime scene. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins to break down what these images really mean. Were they simple vanity shots? Or were they part of a ritual — trophies preserved as reminders of what he had done? We discuss how these photos may have served as psychological bookmarks, snapshots of control in a life where he had none. Combined with the preserved images of unconscious women also found on his phone, the selfies paint a disturbing picture of ritual, narcissism, and pathology. It wasn’t about looking good for others. It was about capturing control in moments only he would see. This episode digs into how something as ordinary as a mirror selfie becomes evidence of something much darker when taken in context.

Big Breakdown: REVEALED! Bryan Kohberger’s Phone Linked to Mad Greek & Victims! Even after his conviction, the Bryan Kohberger case continues to reveal new details that reframe how investigators built their case. The latest breakdown zeroes in on something deceptively small: a single Wi-Fi log. According to digital forensic experts, Kohberger’s phone “handshaked” with the Wi-Fi network at the Mad Greek restaurant in Moscow, Idaho — the same restaurant where two of the victims worked. It’s not proof he sat down for a meal or spoke with anyone. But it is proof his phone was within range of the router and likely connected to it more than once. In other words, Kohberger’s digital trail placed him in close proximity to his future victims well before the murders. What makes this discovery stand out is what wasn’t there. Investigators found gaps in his phone and computer data — logs deliberately wiped clean, histories erased. It was the behavior of someone scrubbing footprints off a dirt path. And yet, the Mad Greek Wi-Fi survived that cleanup. That tiny slip became a stubborn artifact, an overlooked brick in the wall of evidence. This episode also examines Kohberger’s broader pre-crime behavior: circling the victims’ home more than twenty times, searching police scanner feeds hours before the murders, and stashing women’s IDs in a glove at his parents’ house. Taken together, these fragments reveal a man rehearsing control in every corner of his life — digital, physical, and psychological. But there’s a bigger question: why weren’t the warning signs caught sooner? From stealing his sister’s phone to creeping around campus, there were red flags long before the night of the murders. Our breakdown asks how institutions, families, and communities can respond when someone is “almost dangerous” — and what it means when silence or hesitation lets those red flags stack up. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #MadGreek #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #DigitalForensics #KBarKnife #Idaho4 #TrueCrimeToday #FBI Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Could Kohberger Ever Be Safe in General Population? Solitary confinement can be a temporary measure — or a permanent sentence within a sentence. For Bryan Kohberger, accused of killing four University of Idaho students, the decision to keep him in protective isolation or move him into general population could mean the difference between survival and a quick, violent end. In this Hidden Killers segment, Tony Brueski talks with defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis about how long solitary can last, who makes that decision, and the prison politics driving it. Eric explains why crimes like Kohberger’s — especially those involving young female victims — carry a permanent target inside prison, and how some inmates see taking out a high-profile prisoner as a path to infamy, respect, or revenge. We examine survival strategies in this environment, from gang alliances to exploiting mental health vulnerabilities, and why certain “outs” — like transfers or mental health unit placement — can actually increase the danger. The conversation also touches on the limits of legal intervention once a case is closed, and the bigger question: what does it say about our system that inmate safety decisions are made almost entirely behind closed doors? #BryanKohberger #Idaho4 #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #SolitaryConfinement #PrisonPolitics #EricFaddis #PrisonSurvival #HighProfileInmates #PrisonLife Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger: Missing Evidence, Digital Breadcrumbs, Online Mysteries & Prison Fallout From missing murder weapons to mysterious Wi-Fi logs, from a debated online persona to the latest prison reports — the Bryan Kohberger case is still revealing layers that keep investigators, experts, and true crime followers talking. In this comprehensive segment, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins me to connect the dots across multiple threads of the Idaho Four murders case: We start with the missing KA-BAR knife and clothing from the night of the killings, exploring the possibility that Kohberger kept them in a hidden cache, similar to BTK’s or Israel Keyes’ secret stashes. Could these items still be buried somewhere, waiting to be found — and why would he hold on to them in the first place? From there, we examine new revelations from Cellebrite examiners that Kohberger’s phone had logged the Wi-Fi network for The Mad Greek restaurant, where two victims worked. Was this coincidence, or part of a larger pattern of surveillance in the weeks before the murders? And why do conflicting witness accounts and cash payments keep this thread alive? We also revisit the “Papa Roger” mystery — the online handle that posted in true crime groups with uncanny detail before Kohberger’s arrest. Was it him? A sleuth with extraordinary instincts? Or something else entirely? Jennifer weighs in on what the investigation got right, and where it may have stopped short. Finally, we talk about the release of certain crime scene photos and a Daily Mail report that Kohberger is being harassed in prison through the facility’s ventilation system. What do these developments mean for the families, for public perception, and for Kohberger’s own psychological state? It’s an all-in-one conversation that doesn’t just revisit the headlines — it threads them together, showing how each piece, no matter how small, fits into a bigger, still-unfinished picture of this case. #BryanKohberger #Idaho4 #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #KABAR #MadGreek #PapaRoger #FBIProfiler #IdahoMurders #CrimeScenePhotos #Cellebrite Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why Kohberger Was A Copy-Cat Killer Of The Gainesville Ripper, Danny Rolling! On Christmas night 2022, while most people were celebrating with family, Bryan Kohberger sat at his computer downloading files about one of the most infamous serial killers in American history: Danny Rolling, the Gainesville Ripper. Investigators later revealed that Kohberger, the criminology PhD student accused of murdering four University of Idaho students, had searched for and saved Rolling’s case materials just weeks after the killings. The chilling overlap between the two cases raises the disturbing question: was Kohberger emulating Rolling? Danny Rolling’s 1990 spree terrorized Gainesville, Florida. He broke into student apartments through sliding glass doors, used a KA-BAR style knife, and killed five college students in just four days. His crimes involved extreme violence, staging, and psychological domination. Rolling later confessed, citing rage and a craving for infamy, even comparing himself to Ted Bundy. He was executed in 2006, but not before leaving behind a legacy of fear—and a case study for future criminology. Kohberger’s alleged crime in Moscow, Idaho, echoes Rolling’s blueprint in unsettling ways. He’s accused of entering a student home at night through a sliding door, wielding a KA-BAR knife, and stabbing four students to death. Digital forensics confirmed Kohberger had an obsessive interest in serial killers, downloading more than 20 case files on Christmas night alone. Among them, Rolling appeared twice—suggesting Kohberger wasn’t just browsing, he was studying. Experts called the Idaho murders “almost copycat” of the Gainesville Ripper, save for one difference: there was no evidence of S-A in Idaho. The psychological parallels are striking. Rolling was fueled by rage, narcissism, and a desire for control. Kohberger, though not accused of S-A, displayed his own narcissism and obsession: endless selfies, near-constant calls to his parents saved only as “Mother” and “Father,” and a digital library of crime. Both stalked their victims—Rolling from the shadows, Kohberger through social media and late-night drives around the victims’ home. Both believed they could outsmart investigators. And both made the one mistake that brought them down: Rolling left DNA at his scenes, Kohberger left a knife sheath with his own. In this episode, we dig into the eerie Rolling-Kohberger connection. Was Kohberger modeling his crime on Rolling’s? Or was it a darker coincidence born of obsession and academic curiosity? Either way, the echoes are too loud to ignore. From the sliding doors to the KA-BAR knife, from the college town setting to the post-crime obsession with their own cases, the parallels between Danny Rolling and Bryan Kohberger paint a picture of a killer who may have been chasing not just blood, but legacy. Join us as we explore the psychological link between the Gainesville Ripper and Bryan Kohberger, a case that shows how the shadow of one murderer can reach decades forward, inspiring another to follow the same grim path.

Big Breakdown: Why Did Kohberger Have 10 IDs? The Questions Nobody’s Answering Even with Bryan Kohberger convicted and sentenced to life in prison, his case refuses to rest. The latest breakdown explores the disturbing unanswered questions — the missing K-Bar knife, the clothing investigators never found, and the box of IDs seized from his parents’ home. The FBI’s property receipt didn’t just list two IDs as early reports suggested — it listed ten. Two have been discussed publicly, both belonging to women unconnected to the Idaho murders. But eight others remain a mystery. Why did Kohberger have them? Were they trophies? Were they meant to serve as anchors for his disturbing fantasies? And why has so little been said about them? Speculation grows around whether Kohberger may have created his own “BTK-style” hidey hole, a buried stash where he could conceal weapons, clothing, or items tied to his crimes. History tells us this isn’t far-fetched: BTK had caches, Ted Bundy kept mementos, and countless other killers have revisited physical items to relive their crimes. Kohberger’s movements in the days after the murders — stopping at wooded areas and rural parks — fuel suspicion that he may have done the same. Prison sources paint a picture of a man unraveling. Behind bars, Kohberger has reportedly struggled with taunts, isolation, and the harsh reality of life inside Idaho’s maximum-security system. His obsessive habits, from long showers to compulsive handwashing, have been replaced by a different routine — living under constant harassment through the vents in his solitary cell. This episode breaks down the big unanswered questions: Where is the K-Bar knife? Why did he keep IDs belonging to other women? And will the truth about those missing eight IDs ever be revealed? These aren’t just curiosities — they may hold the key to understanding what Bryan Kohberger was doing long before November 2022, and what he planned after. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #BTK #TedBundy #Idaho4 #KBarKnife #TrueCrimeToday #FBI Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger Targeted 247 Through Prison Vent System High-profile defendants face dangers behind bars that most of us can’t imagine — and for Bryan Kohberger, accused of the Idaho college student murders, those dangers are already here. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski talks with defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis about reports that inmates at Idaho Maximum Security Institution are using the prison’s ventilation system to direct threats and taunts straight into Kohberger’s solitary confinement cell — around the clock, in shifts. We break down how common — and how legal — this kind of organized harassment is, what protections prisons are obligated to provide, and where the line is between “prison life” and “cruel and unusual punishment.” Eric explains the realities of limited staffing, inmate ingenuity, and the Eighth Amendment considerations that come into play when harassment tips toward credible threats of violence. We also explore whether Kohberger’s defense has any realistic options to address the situation, the parallels to other notorious inmates, and the uncomfortable truth that for many, Kohberger’s discomfort is more satisfying than concerning. #BryanKohberger #Idaho4 #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #PrisonLife #EricFaddis #SolitaryConfinement #PrisonVentSystem #LegalAnalysis #PrisonHarassment Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Kohberger Crime Scene Photos Leak & Prison Harassment: FBI Expert Reacts Crime scene photos from the Idaho Four murders are surfacing online — some showing nothing more than empty rooms, others containing blurred but still disturbing evidence of what happened inside 1122 King Road. The release has sparked debate about transparency, victim dignity, and whether the public should see these images at all. In this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer weighs in on what, if anything, these photos add to our understanding of the case. She explains the difference between evidence that informs and images that exploit, and why careful selection matters when sharing such material. We also discuss a new Daily Mail report that even in solitary confinement, Kohberger isn’t isolated from other inmates. According to the report, prisoners are shouting through the HVAC system to harass him, keeping him awake at night. Is this “prison justice” or just another layer of noise in an already high-profile case? This conversation explores the ripple effects of high-profile crimes long after sentencing — from leaked evidence shaping public perception to the unique pressures faced by notorious inmates behind bars. #BryanKohberger #Idaho4 #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #CrimeScenePhotos #FBIProfiler #IdahoMurders #PrisonNews #CrimeNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
