  • Criminology or Criminal Mind? Bryan Kohberger and the Myth of the “Perfect Murder” | 2025 Year in Review
    As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we’re revisiting the question that haunts this case — can studying crime actually teach someone how to commit it? When Bryan Kohberger, a Ph.D. student in criminology, was arrested for the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students, the irony was inescapable. The man studying the psychology of killers was suddenly accused of becoming one. But what makes this case so disturbing isn’t just the alleged crime — it’s the meticulous planning prosecutors say went into  it. In this two-part deep dive, Tony Brueski is joined by former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to dissect the chilling contradictions of Kohberger’s mind and methods. Faddis unpacks the mountain of circumstantial evidence: Amazon receipts for a combat knife, face mask, and sheath bought months before the murders; a phone that conveniently “went dark” the night of the killings; license plates swapped just days after; and trash runs in gloves at four in the morning. The prosecution says this wasn’t just murder — it was an attempt at the perfect one. But can a defense argument of social awkwardness or autism spectrum behavior humanize a suspect accused of such precise brutality? Then, Dreeke dives into the psychology. What happens when curiosity about crime becomes a compulsion to control? Was Kohberger’s alleged “research” into how criminals feel during their acts a window into his own fascination? From eerily timed online posts to that infamous mirror selfie that mirrors American Psycho and Psycho, Dreeke and Brueski explore how fantasy, narcissism, and obsession may have fused into something monstrous. And what about those alleged rap lyrics and digital “breadcrumb trails”? Were they bravado, confession, or taunt? When someone studies the mechanics of murder for years, do they start to believe they can outsmart the system that taught them? 🎙️ Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski — 2025 Year in Review: The Crimes, The Psychology, and The Obsession That Defined the Year. #BryanKohberger #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #EricFaddis #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimePodcast #IdahoMurders #Criminology #AmericanPsycho #AutismDefense #BehavioralAnalysis #CourtroomDrama #PerfectMurder #CriminalPsychology #YearInReview #TrueCrimeToday Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  • Inside the Kohberger Family: Blood Ties, Betrayal & the Witness List No One Saw Coming | 2025 Year in Review
    As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we turn the lens away from the accused and toward the people who’ve been living in the shadow of one of the nation’s most haunting murder cases — the family of Bryan Kohberger. In this gripping three-part deep dive, Tony Brueski uncovers the emotional and legal crossroads facing Kohberger’s parents and sisters as the Idaho murder trial looms. What happens when the system turns its gaze toward the family of the accused? What did they know, and when? We begin with the latest bombshell: both Bryan Kohberger’s father and sister may be called as witnesses by the prosecution. Why would the state take the extraordinary step of subpoenaing family members? Could they have seen something—heard something—that adds weight to the timeline? Using verified court filings and public statements, Tony breaks down what this means for a case already teetering between the personal and the procedural. Then we go inside the Kohberger home in the tense weeks before Bryan’s arrest. One sister reportedly noticed unsettling behavior—something that made her question the brother she thought she knew. What did she see? What did she say? And how did those private moments of suspicion and fear evolve into public testimony? This episode also examines the psychology of proximity — how families of alleged killers experience guilt by association, media intrusion, and unbearable moral conflict. Are they victims of circumstance, silent witnesses to horror, or both? Along the way, former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony to dissect the unnerving behavior captured on surveillance footage after the murders — Kohberger shopping at Albertson’s and Costco, the infamous mirror selfie, and possible online activity as “Papa Rodger.” Could these details show a man spiraling, or someone savoring the aftermath? From the quiet dread inside the Kohberger home to the bizarre post-crime trail that keeps resurfacing, this is the story of a family entangled in the making of a modern American tragedy. 🎙️ Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski — 2025 Year in Review: The Crimes, The Families, and The Fallout That Defined the Year. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #EricFaddis #PapaRodger #TrueCrimePodcast #KohbergerFamily #WitnessList #CourtroomDrama #CriminalPsychology #YearInReview #TrueCrimeToday #JusticeForVictims Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  • ​Bryan Kohberger: Coincidence or Calculated? Inside the Mind of the Alleged Idaho Killer | 2025 Year in Review
    As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we’re revisiting one of the most disturbing and debated questions of the year: Was Bryan Kohberger just a socially awkward PhD student obsessed with criminology—or a meticulous killer hiding in plain sight? In this full-length breakdown, Tony Brueski sits down with former felony prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis, and later, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, to unravel both sides of the psychological and legal battlefield surrounding the Idaho student murder case. From disappearing cell phone signals to Amazon receipts allegedly showing purchases of masks and knives months before the crime, the evidence paints a chilling picture of intent and foresight. Prosecutors say these details form a digital breadcrumb trail of premeditation—a methodical pattern that includes turning off his phone during the murders, changing his license plates afterward, and buying a new knife sharpener like it was just another household necessity. Faddis breaks down how prosecutors could use this mountain of circumstantial evidence to prove intent and pattern, while the defense may counter with claims of coincidence—or even neurodivergence, arguing that Kohberger’s socially awkward behavior is being misinterpreted as malice. Could an autism spectrum defense help humanize him in front of a jury—or would it risk sounding like an excuse for cold, calculated planning? Then, Shavaun Scott joins Tony for the darker dive — exploring the unsettling parallels between Kohberger’s alleged actions and cinematic killers like Patrick Bateman (American Psycho) and Norman Bates (Psycho). From his mirror selfie and sterile composure to online alter egos like “Papa Rodger” commenting about the murders in real time, they examine how narcissism, ego, and obsession with control may have blended into performance. Was Kohberger studying criminology to understand crime—or to perfect it? And if these clues were left on purpose, what was the endgame: to prove superiority, or to be remembered? 🎙️ Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski — 2025 Year in Review: The Crimes, The Minds, and The Obsessions That Defined the Year. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #EricFaddis #ShavaunScott #TrueCrimePodcast #AmericanPsycho #PapaRodger #CriminalPsychology #CourtroomDrama #Premeditation #AutismDefense #Idaho4 #YearInReview #TrueCrimeToday #JusticeForVictims Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  • Bryan Kohberger’s Shaky Alibi & The Evidence They Don’t Want You to See | 2025 Year in Review
    As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we’re revisiting two of the most revealing — and overlooked — aspects of the Bryan Kohberger murder case: the expert witness controversy that could undermine his alibi, and the forgotten evidence that may end up sealing his fate. In this episode, Tony Brueski takes you inside the defense’s biggest gamble — building an alibi around a cell phone expert, Sy Ray, whose credibility has already been questioned in open court. In a prior case, a judge described Ray’s phone-mapping analysis as “a sea of unreliability.” Now, Kohberger’s legal team is betting his freedom on that same technology. Could this backfire spectacularly? Or will it be enough to cast reasonable doubt on the state’s timeline? We break down how Sy Ray’s controversial techniques — once criticized for their lack of scientific rigor — are being reintroduced to explain why Kohberger’s phone allegedly wasn’t near the murder scene. But with prosecutors armed with months of cell tower data, GPS pings, and digital forensics, the question becomes: is the alibi built on data, or desperation? Then we dig into the unsealed warrant documents that reveal a treasure trove of physical evidence the media barely mentioned — items that paint a far more disturbing picture than the headlines ever did. Investigators recovered: A blood-stained mattress cover, Human and animal hair, A student ID card found in his parents’ home, A mysterious handwritten note to his father, Black shoes, vacuum debris, and a mountain of trace evidence. Add to that Kohberger’s Amazon purchases, deleted computer files, and surveillance footage — and suddenly, the case doesn’t hinge on one knife sheath. It’s a mosaic of digital and physical evidence converging on one man. Tony Brueski breaks down what this means for the defense, the prosecution, and the future of high-tech forensics in American trials. Because when expert credibility collapses and overlooked evidence resurfaces, justice becomes a battle not just of facts — but of who the jury believes. 🎙️ Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski — 2025 Year in Review: The Crimes, the Evidence, and the Experts That Defined the Year. #BryanKohberger #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #SyRay #IdahoMurders #TrueCrimePodcast #DigitalForensics #CellTowerData #CourtroomDrama #DNAEvidence #CriminalJustice #UnsealedWarrants #ForensicAnalysis #YearInReview #TrueCrimeToday #JusticeForVictims Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  • Bryan Kohberger: The Selfie, The School Paper, and The Psychology of a Killer | 2025 Year in Review
    As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we’re examining two of the most unnerving threads in the case against Bryan Kohberger — the alleged thumbs-up mirror selfie taken hours after the Idaho student murders, and the college paper that prosecutors say reveals the mind of a killer long before the crime. In this special combined episode, Tony Brueski brings together a powerful mix of expert voices — retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, behavioral expert Robin Dreeke, and defense attorney Bob Motta — to unpack how two seemingly separate pieces of evidence might expose the psychology and planning behind one of the most disturbing crimes in modern memory. The selfie, allegedly timestamped 10:31 AM on November 13th, 2022, shows Kohberger clean-shaven, wearing a white button-up, giving a calm thumbs-up in front of a shower — while the victims still lay undiscovered just miles away. It’s an image that feels ripped from American Psycho, echoing both Patrick Bateman’s narcissism and Norman Bates’ eerie detachment. Was it a subconscious taunt? A digital trophy? Or simply the reflection of a man who couldn’t tell the difference between performance and reality? Then comes the academic paper that prosecutors now want admitted as evidence: “Crime-Scene Scenario Final.” Written in 2020 during Kohberger’s criminology studies, the 12-page essay describes — in chilling detail — how to secure, process, and control a murder scene without leaving trace evidence. He even wrote about wearing “fiber-free protective gear” and checking neighbor alibis — years before a masked intruder allegedly slaughtered four students while leaving behind only one trace: DNA on a knife sheath. The episode breaks down what prosecutors call a pattern of preparation, bolstered by other alleged evidence — a balaclava receipt, phone pings near the crime scene, and the now-infamous Amazon purchase of a knife, sheath, and sharpener. Is the paper proof of intent, or just twisted irony? And could that mirror selfie — equal parts arrogance and emptiness — be the moment his mask slipped for good? 🎙️ Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski — 2025 Year in Review: The Crimes, the Evidence, and the Psychology That Defined the Year. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #JenniferCoffindaffer #RobinDreeke #BobMotta #TrueCrimePodcast #PapaRodger #AmericanPsycho #CriminalPsychology #CourtroomDrama #Idaho4 #YearInReview #JusticeForVictims Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
