FBI Special Agent Reveals How Kohberger Kept A CLEAN Digital Trail

He studied criminal minds. He researched what gets killers caught. So how did Bryan Kohberger manage to keep such a clean digital footprint after committing one of the most notorious mass killings in recent memory?

Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski to dissect what may be the most disturbing part of this case: Kohberger knew exactly how to disappear online. From shutting off his phone during the window of the murders, to wiping his devices, paying only in cash, and never using GPS, Kohberger executed a digital vanishing act that made law enforcement work overtime to catch up.

But it wasn’t perfect. In this episode, Coffindaffer explains the digital mistakes that cracked the case—like the 4:22 a.m. ping after the murders, the historical phone data that placed him near the victims' home over 20 times before the crime, and the suspicious app deletions that suggested a cover-up.

We also explore the mindset behind these digital habits. Was he just smart, or was he rehearsing? What does his online behavior tell us about motive, paranoia, and power?

For anyone fascinated by the intersection of psychology and technology in criminal investigations, this conversation is a must. It’s a masterclass in what offenders get right, what they overlook, and how digital forensics brought down a suspect who thought he was untouchable.
