Bryan Kohberger’s Mind Unpacked: FBI Profiler Robin Dreeke Breaks Down the Behavior
Bryan Kohberger’s Mind Unpacked: FBI Profiler Robin Dreeke Breaks Down the Behavior
What’s going on inside the mind of Bryan Kohberger—and what should we really be looking at beyond the headlines?
In this exclusive premiere episode, Robin Dreeke—former head of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Program—returns to Hidden Killers to unpack the internal workings of Kohberger’s alleged psychological profile. With a capital trial looming and a Motion to Continue filed, Kohberger’s defense is arguing they need more time to investigate his life history and mental state. But what would a profiler look for in that timeline?
We dive deep into possible red flags, behavioral escalation, post-crime behavior, and how Kohberger’s public persona could differ wildly from his internal drives. Dreeke helps separate pop culture profiling from the real science used in criminal justice and explains why understanding a suspect’s behavioral footprint is critical—not just to guilt or innocence, but to understanding risk, future behavior, and sentencing.
This is the interview that goes beyond the headlines and into the evidence-based behavioral framework that law enforcement uses every day.

Is Kohberger’s Team Preparing to Blame the Surviving Roommates?
Is Kohberger’s Team Preparing to Blame the Surviving Roommates?
Could Bryan Kohberger’s defense team take the most controversial step yet—hinting at the surviving roommates as alternate suspects?
In this powerful episode, retired FBI profiler Robin Dreeke joins us to discuss the ethical and psychological fallout of a defense strategy that, if executed, could traumatize the very individuals who escaped the crime scene alive. We examine whether Kohberger’s legal team is laying the groundwork for third-party suspicion and what it means when surviving victims are reframed as potential suspects in a courtroom narrative.
Robin Dreeke walks us through how behavioral evidence is weighed, how prosecutors prepare for this kind of narrative manipulation, and the devastating emotional toll such a move could take—not only on the surviving roommates, but on public confidence in the justice system.
If you think you’ve seen defense tactics go low, this conversation asks the question: how far is too far in the pursuit of reasonable doubt?

Will Bryan Kohberger Testify? Five Possible Outcomes of THAT Legal Gamble!
Will Bryan Kohberger Testify? 5 Possible Outcomes of THAT Legal Gamble!
In this deep-dive true crime video, we explore one of the most pressing questions surrounding the Bryan Kohberger murder trial: Will he take the stand in his own defense? Kohberger, a PhD student in criminology, isn’t your typical defendant. With a background in criminal justice, the courtroom becomes a high-stakes chessboard where every word he says could either help or destroy his defense. Legal experts, forensic analysts, and former FBI profilers have all weighed in on the dangerous gamble of allowing someone with Kohberger’s academic background to testify.
Through a fact-based breakdown, we unpack why defendants—especially those facing capital murder charges—are rarely advised to testify. We compare Kohberger’s situation to other infamous cases, from Ted Bundy’s disastrous self-representation to Curtis Reeves’ rare acquittal after taking the stand. The question isn’t just whether Kohberger can testify, but whether jurors would believe him—and whether his demeanor, confidence, or neurodivergent traits could be misinterpreted as guilt.
This isn’t speculation. This is about perception, strategy, and precedent. We explain the legal consequences of testimony, how cross-examination can destroy a defense, and why even the smartest defendants often fail to connect with jurors.
If you're following the Idaho student murders, this is essential context on the psychological and legal warfare happening behind the scenes. Don't miss this breakdown of what could be the most decisive move in the Bryan Kohberger case.

The Big Breakdown: Bryan Kohberger’s Mind, Mistakes & The Evidence Closing In
The Big Breakdown: Bryan Kohberger’s Mind, Mistakes & The Evidence Closing In
In this full-case breakdown of Bryan Kohberger and the Idaho student murders, we’re connecting all the key pieces—courtroom rulings, digital evidence, forensic analysis, and behavioral insights—to paint the clearest picture yet of what’s really unfolding behind the headlines.
You’ll hear everything that matters from the latest court rulings:
The judge denying the defense’s attempt to remove the death penalty due to Kohberger’s autism diagnosis
Admissibility of text messages from a surviving roommate during the actual time of the murders
A heavily scrutinized 911 call that will now be allowed in court with redactions
We also take you into the technical forensics that could seal Kohberger’s fate—cell tower mapping by FBI CAST, strange gaps in digital activity flagged by Cellebrite analysts, and how a single trace of touch DNA could override an otherwise meticulous plan.
Then it gets psychological: Why would someone so “intelligent” fail to plan for failure? Former FBI agent Robin Dreeke offers insight into Kohberger’s stubborn refusal to provide an alibi, his possible behavioral mimicry of infamous killers like BTK, and how his own mother may be reinforcing his self-destructive belief system.
And then there’s the digital echo of “Papa Rogers”—a Reddit persona eerily aligned with Kohberger’s profile and knowledge. Was this his way of taunting the investigation?
With analysis from retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, we cover what may have looked calculated on the surface—but now appears to be collapsing under the weight of ego, outdated planning, and damning forensic science.
This isn’t just a true crime case. It’s a study in how arrogance, obsession, and digital forensics collide.
