Check Out The Craziest Un-Aliving Note EVER FAKED A young woman with dreams of becoming a nurse was murdered by the person she trusted most. Then he tried to pass it off as suicide—complete with a handwritten note and a conveniently placed gun. In this episode, we explore the chilling case of Nathaniel Archuleta, 19, who murdered 20-year-old Mary Halcomb in Peoria, Illinois, and staged the scene to make it look like she took her own life. But from the moment police stepped onto the scene, things didn’t add up. There was a trail of blood suggesting she had been moved. There was a bizarre note—allegedly written by Mary—giving Archuleta permission to “euthanize” her. And Archuleta? He couldn’t keep his story straight for five minutes. First it was a gun accident. Then a suicide. Eventually, he confessed to another inmate: he’d killed Mary after finding messages from another man. The court gave him 45 years. But for Mary’s family, that number doesn’t even come close to justice. She was kind, ambitious, and nurturing—exactly the kind of nurse the world needs more of. Instead, she became a cautionary tale about control, jealousy, and the failure of young love turned toxic. #maryhalcomb #nathanielarchuleta #fakedsuicide #intimatepartnerviolence #peoriamurder #truecrimecase #domesticmurder #stagecrime #lifesentencing #murderandcoverup Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

RAGE IN THE WOODS: What the Killer’s Actions Say About His Mindset | Robin Dreeke Analyzes It was over 100 degrees. He was in all black. The trail was packed. He taped over his license plate and still went through with it. Why? In this gripping episode, Robin Dreeke returns to break down what the suspect’s decisions say about his internal state. From the risk of attacking on a busy trail to the calm execution of two parents in front of their daughters, nothing about this murder points to random chaos—it points to boiling rage, released with minimal concern for consequence. Tony and Robin dig into the psychology of a man who may have cracked. Was this a personal vendetta, or a “target of opportunity” scenario? Why did he let the kids live? And if this was all just unhinged fury—why was the car so well prepared? Dreeke brings years of behavioral analysis to a chilling discussion that questions everything: planning vs. impulse, rage vs. psychosis, and the frightening possibility that this was just step one.

FBI Behavior Expert Exposes How Kohberger FAILED At Everything He Did 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. #BryanKohberger #PapaRoger #BTK #KohbergerFails #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #Alivea Goncalves #IdahoMurders #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #CriminalProfiling Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why Did the Devil’s Den Killer Target Two Parents With Kids Description: Why did the Devil’s Den killer target Clinton and Cristen Brink—two parents simply out for a hike with their daughters? In this episode, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to examine the psychological and symbolic motives behind the attack that has shaken the Northwest Arkansas community to its core. Was this act premeditated rage? A delusional fantasy being played out? Or was the killer seeking to destroy a symbol—a family, a moment of happiness—that he could never have? We examine what it means when a killer chooses a crowded park trail in broad daylight, armed with a knife, and zero attempt to blend in. Shavaun explores the deeper psychology behind symbolic violence and how fantasy-driven offenders often strike not based on personal vendettas, but based on internal scripts where the victims are simply cast roles in the killer’s mind. We also talk about how predators choose their targets, why some victims are spared, and how acts like this are rarely about the people being attacked—and everything about the warped logic behind it. If you're trying to understand the “why” behind the horror, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

Genius or Wannabe? Profiling the Real Kohberger Is Bryan Kohberger A Criminal Mastermind—or Just a Failing Wannabe? | FBI Profile He wanted to be remembered like Bundy or BTK. But Bryan Kohberger didn’t even make it 60 days before the walls closed in. In this episode, former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down what Kohberger really was—a methodical planner, yes—but not the genius some online narratives have made him out to be. We dive into what his pre-offense behaviors suggest—door tampering, being spotted near the house, running patterns that now look a lot more like surveillance. We also discuss whether his academic obsession with crime was a blueprint… or a mask. Plus: Could a single juror have sunk this case if it had gone to trial? Would the DNA, video surveillance, and behavioral red flags have held up against internet-fueled conspiracies and “reasonable doubt” chaos? This is not another sensationalist take—this is a hard look at facts, behavior, and legal strategy, delivered with clarity and experience by someone who’s been on the front lines. Topics: – Kohberger’s failed first attempt – Pre-crime stalking vs. surveillance – Profiling intent vs. incompetence – Trial risk: Would the jury have convicted? – What makes this case different from Bundy, BTK, and others #bryankohberger #kohbergerprofile #idahomurders #truecrimepodcast #hiddenkillers #jennifercoffindaffer #kohbergertrial #criminalpsychology #forensicanalysis #moscowidaho Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

THE STARE: FBI Profiler Robin Dreeke Breaks Down the Devil’s Den Killer’s Predatory Behavior When multiple witnesses say the same thing—that the man on the trail looked through them, not past them—you start to realize the killer wasn’t just walking... he was scanning. In this episode, former FBI profiler Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to analyze the haunting body language and decision-making of the man believed to have killed Clinton and Cristen Brink. What does that death-stare mean? Was he just assessing threats, or choosing victims? Dreeke dives deep into the behavioral cues—how the killer’s intense gaze, oversized tactical-style bag, and heat-inappropriate clothing all point to someone on a mission. But was the Brinks’ murder pre-targeted or opportunistic? Was this planned for days, or did something flip in real time? This isn’t criminal profiling 101—it’s a forensic look at the subtle but revealing signals that most people miss. And one line—“Why are you doing this?”—may be the most telling clue yet about whether this was personal… or projection.

Ret FBI Chief Reminds Bryan Kohberger 'The Big-D is Coming For You'! Bryan Kohberger’s courtroom silence may have fooled some, but new jailhouse reports suggest his mind is unraveling. Extended 45-minute showers. Dozens of obsessive hand washes per day. A Dracula-like sleep cycle. And an immediate request to speak to a priest. In this darkly revealing episode, retired FBI Behavioral Analysis chief Robin Dreeke breaks down what these behaviors mean: not repentance—but a desperate need for stimulation and control. When Kohberger can’t get attention from the outside, he turns to rituals. When his mother isn’t available, he turns to clergy. It’s not remorse—it’s manipulation. It’s a man starving for relevance. We also revisit how the Goncalves family—especially Olivia—delivered what may have been a death sentence in spirit, if not by law. Their courtroom performance didn’t just shame Kohberger—they made him culturally irrelevant. They stripped him of narrative. Of power. Of myth. And as Robin says—Kohberger knows what's coming next. He’s not Ted Bundy. He’s not BTK. He’s not going to be remembered. And when he finally gets to general population, “the Big-D” might be the only justice left. Brutal, honest, and behavioral to the bone—this one pulls no punches. #BryanKohberger #KohbergerJailBehavior #TheBigD #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #KohbergerPriest #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #CriminalPsychology #PrisonJustice #OliviaGoncalves Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
