    Will Kohberger Brag About His Crime In Court?

    Bryan Kohberger’s decision to plead guilty to the Idaho student murders sent shockwaves through the public—but what might happen when he gets a chance to speak publicly at sentencing? Retired FBI Behavioral Chief Robin Dreeke breaks down the unsettling possibility that Kohberger might use his sentencing hearing to brag or grandstand about his crimes.

    Dreeke examines past examples of narcissistic offenders who've used courtroom statements as platforms to boast or manipulate public perception, exploring the psychology behind why some killers feel compelled to make shocking, self-aggrandizing statements even after admitting guilt. He assesses Kohberger's known psychological traits, including his reported narcissism, desire for infamy, and perceived superiority, to analyze whether he is likely to turn his final moments in the public eye into a disturbing spectacle of self-glorification.

    Listeners will learn how law enforcement and courtroom officials typically prepare for such scenarios, ensuring that victim families are protected from further emotional harm during sentencing statements. Dreeke provides expert insight into the warning signs that Kohberger could exhibit during his final court appearance, and whether his legal team can—or will—even try to stop him from making inflammatory remarks.

    This episode is an essential exploration of the psychological compulsions that drive killers to brag about their crimes publicly and the impact such statements have on the justice process, the victims' families, and society’s broader understanding of criminal psychology.

  • Where Do 'Incels' Come From? Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott Breaks It Down

    Where Do 'Incels' Come From? Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott Breaks It Down

    Description:
    We’ve all heard the word “incel” thrown around—usually after another headline about a mass shooting or hate-fueled violence. But where does that mindset actually come from? In this episode, I sit down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to go deep into the psychology behind incel ideology—what drives it, where it starts, and why it keeps spreading.

    Shavaun walks us through the emotional landscape of many of these young men: loneliness, rejection, isolation, resentment. But we also talk about how this internal pain gets externalized—how it turns into entitlement, anger toward women, and, in extreme cases, violent revenge.

    We explore the roots of this movement—from early online forums and Elliot Rodger's manifesto, to the current ecosystem of toxic online communities that validate hatred in real time. If you've ever wondered how someone gets pulled into this world, or why it keeps happening over and over again, this conversation explains it in human terms.

    This isn’t about making excuses—it’s about understanding the red flags before they become another breaking news alert. And it starts with asking the right questions.

  • Did Kohberger Study Criminology To Better Understand The Monster He Knew He Was?

    Did Kohberger Study Criminology To Better Understand The Monster He Knew He Was?

    Did Kohberger Study Criminology To Better Understand The Monster He Knew He Was?

    Description:
    Was Bryan Kohberger studying criminal justice to fight crime—or to understand himself as a future killer?

    Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to explore this chilling angle in the Idaho murders case. Kohberger wasn’t just a PhD student in criminology—he was deeply immersed in the psychology of serial killers, studying under leading experts, and even conducting Reddit surveys asking former criminals how they felt during their crimes.

    So… was he preparing for a career in law enforcement, or rehearsing for murder?

    We dissect Kohberger’s academic path, his psychological transformation, and whether his education served as a blueprint for violence. Did his deep knowledge of crime scene behavior, forensic protocols, and law enforcement tactics give him false confidence he could commit the "perfect crime"?

    This conversation goes deep into the disturbing intersection of intellect, obsession, and pathology—and whether academia unwittingly gave Kohberger the tools to kill.

    If you’ve ever wondered whether someone can study crime so closely they become part of it… this one’s for you.

    What Does Anne Taylor, Kohberger's Attorney Think Of Him Now?
    Anne Taylor, the defense attorney for Bryan Kohberger, spent months publicly defending a man accused of horrific crimes. But now that Kohberger has pled guilty, admitting to murders he once denied, what might Taylor truly think of her client today? Retired FBI Behavioral Chief Robin Dreeke delves into the complicated psychological relationship between defense attorneys and clients charged with brutal crimes, analyzing what Anne Taylor’s perception of Kohberger might now be, post-plea.

    Dreeke explores the difficult ethical and emotional territory attorneys navigate when representing someone like Kohberger. He discusses whether attorneys genuinely believe their clients' innocence, how their perceptions change once a plea is entered, and how the gravity of the admitted crimes might alter an attorney’s personal views and courtroom strategies.

    Drawing from his expertise in human behavior and trust-building within high-pressure environments, Dreeke explains how attorneys psychologically cope with representing violent criminals, maintaining professionalism while internally confronting the shocking nature of their clients' actions. We also discuss whether Kohberger’s guilty plea may have caused Taylor to reassess her relationship with her client, and whether she may privately see him differently now.

    In this candid analysis, listeners gain a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes psychological dynamics at play between attorneys and clients in infamous murder cases. Dreeke provides insights into the complex world of criminal defense, offering listeners a deeper understanding of the emotional and ethical challenges attorneys face when confronted with overwhelming evidence and undeniable guilt.

She analyzes the key psychological markers evident in his behavior, including extreme narcissism, pathological arrogance, social isolation, and a disturbing absence of empathy.

    Big Breakdown – Will Bryan Kohberger Survive Prison?

    Description:
    Bryan Kohberger has pleaded guilty to the brutal murders of four college students in Idaho. Now comes the next chapter: life behind bars. But what does prison actually look like for someone like Kohberger?

    In this episode, we break down what Kohberger’s future might hold inside a maximum-security prison. From protective custody protocols to the social dynamics of inmates who despise those who harm women, we examine whether Kohberger will be able to survive long-term — physically and psychologically.

    Will he be targeted? Will he be isolated? Or will the system try to use him for study, observation, or worse — glorification?

    We also explore how convicted high-profile killers have fared in the past and what kind of mental toll life in prison may take on someone like Kohberger, who once appeared to crave control, structure, and visibility.

    This is not just about incarceration. It’s about whether justice means simply being locked away — or being broken down from the inside out.

    Could ANYONE Have Stopped Bryan Kohberger? Ret FBI Special Agent Answers

    Description:
    In this gripping episode, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to tackle one of the most painful questions in the Bryan Kohberger case: Could anyone have stopped him before it was too late? Was there a moment in his past — a red flag, a missed opportunity, an overlooked warning sign — that could’ve prevented the brutal murders of four students in Moscow, Idaho?

    We dive into Kohberger's early life, psychological profile, social isolation, and that infamous shift in personality after his drastic weight loss. Jennifer breaks down the complex interplay between parenting, mental health, social systems, and the culture of emotional disconnection that can allow someone like Kohberger to hide in plain sight.

    What role did criminology, visual snow, and his academic ambition play in masking darker intentions? Could any teacher, classmate, or family member have seen this coming? And what does it mean for how we respond to troubled individuals today?

    This is more than hindsight. This is a call to action.
