Bryan Kohberger wanted to be feared. Wanted to be studied. Wanted to go down in true crime history as a name you’d whisper like BTK or Bundy. But here’s the truth: he failed. At the murder. At the planning. At the cleanup. At the manipulation. At being anyone worth remembering. In this special episode, we bring together four explosive conversations with retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke—exposing how Kohberger botched every phase of his crime and unraveling the pathetic psychology beneath the performance.
From the stunning precision of Alivea Goncalves’ victim impact statement, which tore straight through Kohberger’s grandiose self-image, to the unsealed crime scene reports revealing brutal overkill and chaotic rage, Dreeke shows us a killer who never had control—only fantasy. We explore Kohberger’s failed attempt to emulate BTK from behind bars, his alleged online disguise as “Papa Roger,” his grotesque Tinder messages about Ka-Bar knives, and the compulsive post-crime behaviors that scream broken brain, not criminal mastermind.
We break down his obsessive pre-crime surveillance. His phone pings. His creepy window watching. The bloodless crime scene. And we ask: was this man a genius in his own mind, or just another failed loner who mistook murder for meaning?
This episode is a total takedown—from forensic gaps to failed online personas to the psychology of a man who didn’t just get caught—he got exposed. And with Kohberger now living in silence, isolated and forgotten, the question is no longer whether justice was served. It’s whether he even realizes how irrelevant he’s become.
