  • ​Bryan Kohberger’s Calls to “Mother” and Christmas Day Serial Killer Search EXPOSED

    ​Bryan Kohberger’s Calls to “Mother” and Christmas Day Serial Killer Search EXPOSED

    Bryan Kohberger’s Calls to “Mother” and Christmas Day Serial Killer Search EXPOSED
    Within hours of the Idaho student murders, Bryan Kohberger called his mother — not once, but repeatedly — for conversations totaling over three hours that day. He addressed his parents formally as “Mother” and “Father,” even texting, “Father, why is Mother not answering?” Was this routine? Desperation? Or an emotional tether to the only people who might never question him?

    Weeks later, on Christmas Day, Kohberger sat down and researched more than 20 serial killers — with a particular focus on Danny Rolling, the Gainesville Ripper. Rolling’s crimes bore unsettling similarities to the Idaho murders: KA-BAR knife, sliding-door entry, and a focus on college students. By then, Kohberger had been stopped twice on his drive home, was gloving up to bag trash, and knew police were looking for his car. Was this paranoia-driven damage control, or a compulsive “copycat” study session?

    Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to connect these two behaviors. From emotional anchors and routine-seeking to mimicry of notorious killers, we explore how Kohberger’s post-crime actions reveal a man more concerned with validation and borrowed identity than originality.

  • Was Kohberger Planning Another Attack? Christmas Day Search History Analyzed

    Was Kohberger Planning Another Attack? Christmas Day Search History Analyzed

    Was Kohberger Planning Another Attack? Christmas Day Search History Analyzed
    Christmas Day, 2022 — just weeks after the Idaho murders — Bryan Kohberger sat down and researched more than 20 notorious serial killers. One name stood out: Danny Rolling, the Gainesville Ripper, whose crimes eerily mirrored Kohberger’s alleged actions. Rolling used a KA-BAR knife, targeted college students, and entered through sliding doors — chilling parallels to the Idaho case.

    In this episode, former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke analyzes what this research spree means. Was Kohberger simply feeding a morbid curiosity, or was he conducting a tactical “after-action” review to identify mistakes and improve his methods? Did he believe he’d gotten away with it and could refine his approach for a “next time”? And how do Rolling’s own post-crime behaviors — hiding weapons, evading capture — fit into Kohberger’s apparent fixation?

    We also examine the broader context: Kohberger had been stopped twice on the way to Pennsylvania, was wearing gloves and bagging his trash, and knew police were looking for his car. Was this research paranoia-fueled damage control, or a compulsive dive into the crimes of people he hoped to emulate?

  • The Myth of Kohberger’s “Perfect Crime” EXPOSED By FBI

    The Myth of Kohberger’s “Perfect Crime” EXPOSED By FBI
    2025/08/22
    The Myth of Kohberger’s “Perfect Crime” EXPOSED By FBI
    The Moscow murders were chaotic, bloody, and confusing. Forensic investigators are still piecing together the exact sequence of events. But one thing is becoming clear: Bryan Kohberger was no mastermind. He didn’t glide through the crime scene like some criminal genius. He walked into chaos — and chaos consumed him.

    Jennifer Coffindaffer and I explore how Kohberger may have gone from surveillance and planning to total collapse once the murders began. Did he intend to kill one victim? Was he interrupted by others? Did rage override control?

    The forensic evidence suggests exactly that. He saw the cars outside. He knew people were home. Yet he went in anyway, knife in hand. When victims fought back, when the scene unraveled, his plan spiraled into frenzy. The result wasn’t precision. It was carnage.

    We discuss how chaos defines the Idaho murders — and how that chaos punctures the myth of Kohberger as a calculating killer. The reality looks closer to rage, insecurity, and collapse.

  • “Father, Why Is Mother Not Answering” — Inside Kohberger’s Odd Family Texts

    “Father, Why Is Mother Not Answering” — Inside Kohberger’s Odd Family Texts
    2025/08/21
    “Father, Why Is Mother Not Answering” — Inside Kohberger’s Odd Family Texts
    On the morning of the Idaho student murders, Bryan Kohberger placed a 36-minute call to his mother. Later that same morning, while driving back toward the crime scene, he called her again — this time for nearly an hour. By the end of the day, he’d spent more than three hours on the phone with his parents, addressing them in oddly formal terms: “Mother” and “Father.”

    In this revealing conversation, former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks down what those calls could mean. Were they simply part of Kohberger’s daily routine, or were they a desperate bid for emotional validation after committing an unthinkable crime? Why does his choice of words — “Father, why is Mother not answering?” — sound so detached? And could this be part of a broader pattern where routine phone contact was his emotional safety net, even in the most chaotic moments of his life?

    We explore the psychology of an accused killer leaning on the one person who might never question him, the role of family routines in maintaining a façade of normalcy, and what wasn’t said during those calls. This isn’t about demonizing a parent — it’s about understanding the behavioral dynamics between a murder suspect and his closest emotional anchor in the hours after the crime.

  • ​Kohberger’s Creepy Christmas Night Obsession with Danny Rolling EXPOSED

    ​Kohberger’s Creepy Christmas Night Obsession with Danny Rolling EXPOSED
    2025/08/21
    Kohberger’s Creepy Christmas Night Obsession with Danny Rolling EXPOSED
    On Christmas night 2022, while families gathered around trees, Bryan Kohberger was at his computer. Instead of holiday cheer, investigators later discovered he was downloading files about Danny Rolling — the Gainesville Ripper, who in 1990 murdered five college students with a Ka-Bar knife after breaking into their apartments. Kohberger didn’t just glance at the story. He saved it. Twice.

    Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer walks us through the significance of that moment. Kohberger had already been caught obsessively looking up serial killers, but the overlap with Rolling is striking. Both targeted college students. Both used the same style of knife. Both entered through sliding doors. Investigators even described Kohberger’s crime as “almost copycat.”

    But that night wasn’t just about Rolling. Kohberger also searched for violent pornography, with terms like “sleeping” and “voyeur,” fantasies that echoed Rolling’s own fixation on unconscious victims. Was Kohberger simply curious? Or was he building a playbook?

    We also explore the theories about crime scene staging. Rolling staged his victims. Did Kohberger intend to do the same before the scene spiraled out of control? Did the sheer chaos of four victims derail a plan he thought he could manage?

    This segment pulls apart what those Christmas downloads really mean: not just obsession, but alignment. Kohberger wasn’t just reading Rolling. He was comparing himself to him.

  • Andrew McGann’s Not Guilty Plea & Devil’s Den Secrecy REVEALED With Ret. FBI Robin Dreeke

    Andrew McGann’s Not Guilty Plea & Devil’s Den Secrecy REVEALED With Ret. FBI Robin Dreeke
    2025/08/20
    Andrew McGann’s Not Guilty Plea & Devil’s Den Secrecy REVEALED With Ret. FBI Robin Dreeke
    In July 2025, Clinton and Cristen Brink were murdered while hiking in Devil’s Den State Park, Arkansas, as their two young daughters ran for their lives. Four days later, police arrested former teacher Andrew James McGann, saying they had DNA evidence, surveillance footage, and a detailed confession tying him to the crime.

    But in a closed-door hearing with no public or media present, McGann pleaded not guilty to two counts of capital murder — a move that left many asking, why?

    In this full-length interview, retired FBI Special Agent and former Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, Robin Dreeke, joins me to dissect every angle. We cover the legal strategy behind McGann’s plea, the role it plays in a death penalty case, and how the defense could challenge the alleged confession. We also explore his background as a teacher, prior allegations, and whether a sudden psychotic break could explain the shift from a seemingly normal life to a deadly attack.

    Then we pivot to the system itself — the decision to keep court proceedings behind closed doors, what that means for community trust, and how secrecy in a case this unusual can fuel conspiracy theories, contaminate juries, and make life even harder for the victims’ families.

    If you want the full story — from the shocking not guilty plea to the larger fight over transparency and public trust — this is the one to watch.

  • ​FBI Analysis: The Dark Meaning Behind Bryan Kohberger’s Sadistic Selfies

    ​FBI Analysis: The Dark Meaning Behind Bryan Kohberger’s Sadistic Selfies
    2025/08/20
    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.

  • FBI Robin Dreeke Warns That Devil’s Den Case Secrecy Could Backfire And HELP Andrew McGann

    FBI Robin Dreeke Warns That Devil’s Den Case Secrecy Could Backfire And HELP Andrew McGann

    The Andrew McGann case isn’t just about one man’s alleged crimes — it’s about how the justice system handles a case when the stakes are sky-high. In Devil’s Den, the arraignment and plea hearings were held behind closed doors. No public. No media. No cameras.

    In Part 2 of our conversation, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke warns about the dangers of shutting the public out. We talk about how this kind of secrecy can erode community trust, fuel conspiracy theories, contaminate potential jurors, and even put more strain on the victims’ families. Drawing parallels to other high-profile cases, Robin explains why transparency — even in small doses — is critical for justice to be both done and seen to be done.

    If you want to know what happens when the court goes quiet and the rumor mill gets loud, this is the breakdown you need to hear.
