Was Bryan Kohberger 'Proud' To Admit His Guilt In Court, Ret FBI Behavior Chief Breaks It Down

In this episode, we take you deep inside the strange and secretive life of Barry Morphew between the collapse of the first murder case—and the shocking return of criminal charges in 2025. After prosecutors dropped the original charges in 2022 due to evidence handling failures, Barry Morphew didn't stay in Colorado to rebuild his name. Instead, he disappeared—600 miles away to Cave Creek, Arizona, where he adopted fake names like “Bruce” and “Lee,” lived in a trailer, and kept a low profile. Locals never suspected they were sharing a beer with a man once accused of killing his wife. That all changed when Suzanne Morphew’s remains were accidentally found in 2023—dumped in a remote location known as “the Boneyard.” Forensic testing uncovered a disturbing detail: her bones contained traces of a potent animal tranquilizer cocktail, the same mix Barry was legally allowed to use on wildlife. That bombshell, plus a reexamination of digital forensics, led to a grand jury indictment in 2025. Now, Barry is back in Colorado custody, facing first-degree murder charges—again. His civil lawsuit for $15 million? On pause. His daughters? Still standing by him. But the prosecution isn’t pulling punches this time, armed with stronger forensic evidence and no shortage of questions about why Barry lied about who he was and where he’d been. Was he a wrongfully accused husband trying to start fresh? Or a man biding his time, hoping his past would stay buried? This episode unpacks it all—with forensic details, legal twists, and the uncomfortable truth about what happens when justice delays, but doesn’t forget. #BarryMorphew #TrueCrimePodcast #SuzanneMorphew #ColdCaseUpdate #GrandJuryIndictment #ForensicEvidence #ColoradoCrime #MurderCharges #CrimeAnalysis #JusticeForSuzanne    Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Big Breakdown Of All Of The Evidence Against Barry Morphew Barry Morphew is once again at the center of a murder investigation after new charges were filed in 2025 for the disappearance and presumed death of his wife, Suzanne Morphew. In this episode, we walk through the full body of evidence—everything prosecutors say Barry didn’t count on coming back to haunt him. We’re talking GPS data from his truck showing movements inconsistent with his alibi, phone records showing sudden “flight mode” behavior, security footage that doesn’t match his timeline, and tranquilizer equipment found in his home. Add in deleted messages, marital tension, and Suzanne’s intention to leave him—and the case takes on a much darker shape. We also revisit why the original charges were dropped back in 2022, what changed in the time since, and how new forensic findings from Suzanne’s remains may be the final nail in the coffin. You’ll hear from legal analysts and investigators as we break down each piece of the puzzle and how the prosecution plans to tell this story to a jury. Is it enough to convict, or will Barry’s legal team continue to spin this as a case of circumstantial speculation? This is the full breakdown of what Barry Morphew is really up against.

The James Craig Case - 5 Shocking Truths Of Alleged Killer Dentist James Craig was a respected Colorado dentist, a family man, and a churchgoing father of six. But in March 2023, his wife Angela Craig was rushed to the hospital with mysterious symptoms. Three days later, she was dead—and James Craig was under arrest for her murder. In this gripping episode, we unpack the bizarre and disturbing case of James Craig, who is accused of poisoning his wife with arsenic and potassium cyanide… delivered through her protein shake. Investigators say he Googled “how much arsenic to kill a human,” ordered the poison to his office, and tried multiple times to finish the job—even while she was hospitalized. All while allegedly maintaining a secret affair with a Texas orthodontist. But the chaos didn’t stop with the arrest. Craig’s murder trial has been delayed repeatedly due to courtroom absurdities, including a defense attorney quitting the night before trial—claiming Craig asked him to do something illegal—and another lawyer getting arrested for arson. Yes, really. Even more shocking? Prosecutors allege that while in jail, Craig attempted to orchestrate a murder-for-hire plot against the lead detective—and tried to plant fake suicide letters to bolster his defense. With jury selection now underway in July 2025, this may be one of the most outrageous true crime stories in recent history. Join us as we explore the twisted details of the case, the evidence, the attempted cover-ups, and what this trial means for justice and trust in the people closest to us.

Ret. FBI Behavior Chief Breaks Down The Cops & Culture That Groomed Sandra Birchmore Description: Sandra Birchmore wasn’t just failed by a few bad officers—she was failed by an entire culture. At 23, Sandra was found dead—alone and pregnant. What the public was told: suicide. What federal prosecutors now allege: murder, cover-up, and years of grooming at the hands of a trusted law enforcement officer. Matthew Farwell, the former Stoughton cop now indicted for Sandra’s death, first met her when she was just 13. He was her mentor in the department’s Explorer program. But behind that title was a predator, and behind him? A department that protected itself at every turn. In this episode, we sit down with Robin Dreeke, the former Chief of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Program, to dissect how this could happen—and why no one stopped it. Robin walks us through the behavioral red flags, the abuse of institutional structure, and the critical leadership failures that enabled this kind of manipulation to thrive unchecked. We also explore why no one else has been charged—despite multiple officers having ties to Sandra—and what it says about the “silent exits” we’ve seen from others in the department. Robin reveals how abusers test boundaries through secrecy, how grooming flourishes in programs like Explorers, and why a lack of oversight can be just as dangerous as overt misconduct. This isn’t just about Matthew Farwell. It’s about every department that refuses to see what’s right in front of them. Sandra Birchmore’s case is a warning—and Robin Dreeke is here to tell us what happens when no one listens. #SandraBirchmore #RobinDreeke #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #PoliceGrooming #InstitutionalFailure #HiddenKillersPodcast #TonyBrueski #ExplorerProgram #LawEnforcementAccountability #PredatorsInPower Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Will Anyone Get Inside The Brain Of Bryan Kohberger To Explain His Evil Deeds? Description: Bryan Kohberger may have pled guilty, but the bigger question still lingers—why did he do it? In this chilling episode, defense attorney Bob Motta explores whether we’ll ever truly get inside Kohberger’s mind to understand what drove him to murder four innocent students. Is it even possible to decode someone like Kohberger? Or is he destined to remain a psychological cipher—studied, speculated about, and ultimately unknowable? We explore the possibility of post-sentencing psychological evaluations, whether Kohberger will ever cooperate, and if academic figures like Dr. Katherine Ramsland (his former professor) could eventually unlock something meaningful. Motta also breaks down what defense attorneys observe in these kinds of defendants—what’s real, what’s performative, and what’s dangerously misleading. This isn’t just a legal discussion. It’s an exploration of evil, mental illness, and the limits of forensic psychology. #BryanKohberger #KohbergerPsychology #CriminalMind #TrueCrimePodcast #BobMotta #HiddenKillers #PsychologicalProfile #SerialKillerStudy #KohbergerTrial #JusticeForTheVictims    Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
