Inside Kohberger’s Fantasy World: How Obsession Became Reality -WEEK IN REVIEW

The Missed Red Flags How the System Let Bryan Kohberger Slip Through-WEEK IN REVIEW

Bryan Kohberger: How the System Missed a Monster-WEEK IN REVIEW

He Wasn’t There” Kohberger’s Chilling Jail Behavior & What It Really Says About His Mind-WEEK IN REVIEW

Bryan Kohberger: How the System Missed a Monster

Bryan Kohberger didn’t just commit a horrific crime—he allegedly built up to it in silence, leaving a trail of chilling behavioral patterns that now seem impossible to ignore. In this Hidden Killers special, Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott for an in-depth, four-part exploration of the psychology behind Kohberger’s evolution, his disturbing obsessions, and the institutional failures that allowed it all to unfold.

We begin with Kohberger’s pre-crime behavior. Long before the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students, newly unsealed documents suggest Kohberger had been stalking the King Road house—visiting the area over 20 times at night. He allegedly searched police scanners just hours before the crime, possibly entered the home beforehand, and collected the ID cards of women who didn’t even know they’d been targeted. Was this random, or was he following a dark internal blueprint?

In Part 2, we dive deep into Kohberger’s mind. From Tinder messages about “the worst way to die” to his fascination with criminology and knives, Shavaun breaks down how fantasy, obsession, and control may have fueled his behavior. Was this man living out a story in his head before he ever acted on it?

Next, we examine Kohberger’s behavior behind bars. Inmates and officers describe him as withdrawn, fastidious, and disturbingly detached. He didn’t speak at sentencing. Showed no visible remorse. Was it a psychological retreat—or part of the performance?

Finally, we ask the hard questions: How was this missed? What systems failed? The signs were there—the 2021 break-in, the stalking, the digital breadcrumbs. Why didn’t anyone step in? Shavaun and Tony explore how institutions overlook early warning signs and how we can do better.

This is the full psychological breakdown of the Kohberger case—one that forces us to confront not just what he did, but how he got there.

Bryan Kohberger: How the System Missed a Monster

The Missed Red Flags: How the System Let Bryan Kohberger Slip Through

The most haunting part of the Bryan Kohberger case isn’t just what he allegedly did—it’s how many opportunities were missed to stop him.

In this final chapter of our four-part special, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to break down the system-wide blind spots that let Kohberger go unnoticed for so long. We now know that the warning signs were there: surveillance of the King Road house, disturbing Tinder messages, the possible Pullman break-in, and the discovery of ID cards from women who didn’t know they’d been targeted.

So why didn’t anyone act?

Shavaun and Tony tackle the hard questions. Why are people so hesitant to report disturbing but non-criminal behavior? What psychological and legal boundaries prevent action? And what should institutions—colleges, mental health providers, and law enforcement—be doing differently?

We explore how cultural discomfort with labeling someone as “dangerous” plays a role in these missed interventions. We also ask: had the Pullman break-in been investigated more thoroughly, could it have prevented everything that came next?

This episode is both a forensic deep dive and a public reckoning. Because it’s not just about Kohberger—it’s about how many others like him are floating just under the radar, waiting. This is where criminal psychology meets accountability, and where real change starts.

The Missed Red Flags: How the System Let Bryan Kohberger Slip Through

“He Wasn’t There”: Kohberger’s Chilling Jail Behavior & What It Really Says About His Mind

After the headlines faded and the trial was over, Bryan Kohberger sat in jail—and what surfaced next was every bit as disturbing as the crimes themselves. In Part 3 of this powerful series, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to dissect what Kohberger’s reported behavior in jail actually reveals about his mental state.

Inmates described him as cold, fastidious, withdrawn. Talking to himself. Obsessive about order. According to sources, he wasn’t violent—but he was “not present.” So what does that mean? And is it a glimpse into his psyche, or a calculated act of control?

Together, we explore the psychological implications of his silence during sentencing. His refusal to apologize. His rigid demeanor and reported lack of reaction to the details of his own crimes. Shavaun walks us through what this type of behavior says about remorse, detachment, and identity in mass killers.

Was he disassociating? Was he emotionally flat because of pathology—or performance? How does someone so socially disconnected fly under the radar long enough to commit a crime of this scale? And how does jail change someone like that—if at all?

This episode pulls back the curtain on a man who avoided emotional expression but may have been revealing far more than he realized.

“He Wasn’t There”: Kohberger’s Chilling Jail Behavior & What It Really Says About His Mind

Inside Kohberger’s Fantasy World: How Obsession Became Reality

What if the murders were just the final chapter of a story Bryan Kohberger had been writing in his mind for years?

In Part 2 of this expert-driven series, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dive deep into the psychological world Bryan Kohberger may have been living in long before he stepped foot inside that Moscow home. This isn’t speculation—it’s based on newly unsealed court documents and years of behavioral profiling.

We explore how Kohberger’s alleged obsession with knives, his dark Tinder conversations asking about “the worst way to die,” and his eerie silence post-arrest all point to a man who was immersed in violent fantasy long before he acted. A man who didn’t just commit a horrific crime—he may have been performing it in his mind long before it played out in real life.

Shavaun explains how fantasy and control play into the psyche of mass killers, and what the collection of women’s ID cards found in Kohberger’s glovebox could say about how he blurred the line between fixation and possession.

Is there a ritualistic component to his actions? Was his criminology background fueling the performance of the crime? And at what point does fantasy become the motive?

This episode is an unflinching look into the mind of someone who didn’t just want to kill—he wanted to control the story.

Inside Kohberger’s Fantasy World: How Obsession Became Reality

Psychotherapist Breaks Down The Mind Of The Devils Den Killer-WEEK IN REVIEW

How The Devils Den Park Killer Shattered A Community's Sense Of Safety-WEEK IN REVIEW

What happens when a defendant’s grasp on reality feels as flimsy as their defense? In this episode, we dive into the ongoing legal circus surrounding Lori Vallow Daybell, a figure whose courtroom antics and bizarre belief system have captured morbid curiosity nationwide. From questioning extradition processes to requesting a name change that signals undying loyalty to her husband, Chad Daybell, her actions leave everyone wondering—what’s really going on inside her head?

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to dissect the case, exploring Vallow’s alleged conspiratorial mindset, shifting competency evaluations, and the toll that stress and gruesome trial details might take on her mental state. Is she filtering reality to fit her narrative, or is this all an elaborate act? And, in the afterlife she envisions, will the party really include all her victims?

What does it mean when the bar for trial competency seems so low it’s practically underground?
