In one of the most chilling moments in recent courtroom history, Bryan Kohberger stood up and calmly pleaded guilty to the brutal murders that shocked the nation. But was he actually proud to admit what he'd done? Retired FBI Behavioral Chief Robin Dreeke joins us to dissect the disturbing nuances of Kohberger’s courtroom demeanor. Known for his expert analyses on criminal behavior and body language, Dreeke explores subtle signals of arrogance, self-satisfaction, or defiance in Kohberger's admission, shedding light on what may have been occurring inside the convicted killer’s mind during this crucial moment.
Dreeke leverages his years of experience decoding the minds of some of the most dangerous criminals in the country, discussing how Kohberger's educational background in criminology and criminal justice may have influenced his attitude toward the plea. Was this calmness indicative of someone believing he was still in control, or a final act of twisted defiance and superiority?
Throughout the conversation, we delve into Kohberger’s psychological profile—his narcissism, the need for control, and the unsettling possibility of pride in his horrific actions. Dreeke also provides insights into how this behavior will influence his life behind bars and what this could signal about his mental state moving forward.

Would A Jury Have Convicted Bryan Kohberger At Trial? Defense Attorney Bob Motta Breaks It Down
Would A Jury Have Convicted Bryan Kohberger At Trial? Defense Attorney Bob Motta Breaks It Down
Description:
Would a jury have convicted Bryan Kohberger if this case went to trial? Or was there just enough uncertainty to risk a not-guilty verdict? In this episode, we get the legal perspective from defense attorney Bob Motta on the evidence, the strategy, and the real risks both sides were weighing.
With DNA evidence, cell phone data, the sheath, and witness timelines on the table—Motta walks us through how a trial might have played out. He offers expert-level insight into the prosecution’s strongest cards, and where a defense attorney could have still tried to punch holes.
More importantly, we examine what prosecutors feared going into trial. Was it the inexperience of the DA’s office? The risk of a rogue juror? The emotional weight of a four-victim case in a small-town courtroom?
If you’ve been questioning why this didn’t go to trial, this episode offers the most grounded legal explanation you’ll hear anywhere.

Did Bryan Kohberger Get What He Wanted, Infamy?
Did Bryan Kohberger Get What He Wanted, Infamy
Description:
Did Bryan Kohberger commit four gruesome murders in Idaho because he craved fame—even the darkest, most notorious kind? In this provocative and revealing episode, respected psychotherapist Shavaun Scott investigates whether Kohberger’s horrific acts were motivated by a twisted desire for infamy. Unpacking the psychological reasons behind his actions, Scott illuminates the troubling phenomenon of criminals seeking lasting recognition through heinous crimes, explaining how societal fascination with such figures can tragically encourage similar behavior.
We explore how Kohberger’s academic career in criminology may have ironically intensified his craving for notoriety, pushing him toward violent acts that ensured public attention. Scott highlights Kohberger’s behaviors—such as his calculated decision to plead guilty in a high-profile plea deal, his demeanor in court, and his apparent obsession with controlling public perception—that suggest infamy was central to his motivation.
Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the psychological profile of individuals who seek validation through destructive actions. We examine Kohberger’s mind through the lens of narcissism, insecurity, and sociopathy, exposing how these combined traits can compel a person to commit violent acts simply to become unforgettable. The episode also addresses the moral responsibility society holds in potentially feeding this dangerous hunger for recognition through media coverage and public fascination.
Ultimately, Shavaun Scott questions whether the outcome of this highly publicized case has inadvertently granted Kohberger exactly what he wanted—a permanent, infamous legacy. This thoughtful and challenging discussion forces us to confront the troubling intersection between crime, celebrity culture, and human psychology.

Why Did The State Accept Bryan Kohberger’s Plea, Attorney Eric Faddis Explains
Why Did The State Accept Bryan Kohberger’s Plea, Attorney Eric Faddis Explains
Bryan Kohberger’s surprise guilty plea sent shockwaves through the public, media, and especially the families of his victims. But why did the prosecution accept this plea instead of pushing forward with a high-profile trial, potentially leading to a death penalty verdict? In this crucial episode, Attorney Eric Faddis joins us to unravel exactly why the state chose this path, clarifying the hidden legal strategies behind accepting Kohberger’s plea.
Faddis breaks down the prosecution’s decision-making process step by step, explaining the advantages prosecutors saw in taking the plea—from guaranteed justice and closure to avoiding the trauma of a prolonged and graphic trial. He also examines whether fears of appeal or issues with jury selection could have influenced the state’s choice, and how public pressure and resources play into such critical decisions.
Drawing from his rich experience as both prosecutor and defense attorney, Eric Faddis outlines the risks prosecutors weigh when facing the possibility of a jury trial, particularly in cases with enormous media attention and emotional investment. Was the plea a pragmatic choice to ensure a life sentence and guaranteed justice, or did the prosecution compromise too much in their pursuit of closure?
Listeners will get an insightful look at plea deals, their strategic uses, and how they affect not only justice outcomes but also victim families who might feel denied their day in court. Through clear and concise explanations, Faddis helps us understand this controversial decision from multiple angles, shedding light on the often misunderstood legal realities behind accepting guilty pleas in infamous criminal cases.
Join us for an informative, thought-provoking discussion about legal strategies, emotional stakes, and the true meaning of justice when dealing with unimaginable crimes like Kohberger’s.

Why Was Madison Mogen The Target of Kohberger? Howard Blum Explains
Why Was Madison Mogen The Target of Kohberger? Howard Blum Explains
Description:
Among the most chilling questions in the Bryan Kohberger case is why Madison Mogen — of all the victims — may have been the primary target. In this deeply unsettling episode, investigative journalist Howard Blum joins Hidden Killers to unpack his exclusive theory: that Maddie Mogen didn’t just symbolize something to Kohberger — she represented everything he believed he was denied.
Blum explores the alleged fixation Kohberger may have developed on Maddie: her appearance, her joy, her effortless connection to others — all of it, a rebuke to his own social alienation. She was the kind of person he could never be close to. And, in Blum’s words, he believed if he couldn’t exist in her world, she shouldn’t be allowed to either.
We retrace the alleged events of that night — Kohberger circling the King Road house not once, but three times, before finally working up the will to approach. Blum details how Kohberger appeared fixated on entering Maddie’s room, passing other sleeping victims on the way — and how everything unraveled when he found not one, but two people inside: Maddie and Kaylee. The attack that followed was violent, unrestrained, and ultimately left behind the knife sheath that became the smoking gun.
Joined by Robin Dreeke, we also explore whether this was truly a single-target fantasy turned spree, or whether Kohberger was already walking the path of serial escalation — and what Maddie’s symbolic power in his mind says about the dark psychology behind targeted murder.
