In this gripping psychological breakdown, we go beyond the headlines and into the behavioral blueprint of Bryan Kohberger—the man convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students. Was he a psychopath? A narcissist? Or something more complicated?

Join Tony Brueski on Hidden Killers as we pull apart the clinical language behind the internet’s most overused labels. “Psychopath” and “narcissist” aren’t just insults—they’re technical profiles, rooted in years of forensic and psychological study. And in Kohberger’s case, the question isn’t just what he did… but why.

What does his academic obsession with criminology reveal? What do prosecutors say about his movements before and after the crime? And what does his eerie silence in court actually mean—remorselessness or just legal strategy?

We examine documented facts from court filings, affidavits, and verified reporting:
 • The infamous knife sheath with DNA
 • Cell phone records showing surveillance and signal gaps
 • Prosecutors’ theory of forensic planning
 • Kohberger’s alleged superiority complex and behavioral coldness

Through the lens of expert frameworks—including the Hare Psychopathy Checklist and diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder—we’ll explore the traits the public finds chilling, and what they really mean.

This isn’t a character assassination. It’s a forensic dissection of behavior, motive, and risk—delivered in Tony’s signature style: fact-driven, emotionally grounded, and built for audiences who want more than just true crime drama. No speculation. No sensationalism. Just what the public record shows—and what psychology helps us understand.
