About this episode
Bryan Kohberger’s Calls to “Mother” and Christmas Day Serial Killer Search EXPOSED
Within hours of the Idaho student murders, Bryan Kohberger called his mother — not once, but repeatedly — for conversations totaling over three hours that day. He addressed his parents formally as “Mother” and “Father,” even texting, “Father, why is Mother not answering?” Was this routine? Desperation? Or an emotional tether to the only people who might never question him?

Weeks later, on Christmas Day, Kohberger sat down and researched more than 20 serial killers — with a particular focus on Danny Rolling, the Gainesville Ripper. Rolling’s crimes bore unsettling similarities to the Idaho murders: KA-BAR knife, sliding-door entry, and a focus on college students. By then, Kohberger had been stopped twice on his drive home, was gloving up to bag trash, and knew police were looking for his car. Was this paranoia-driven damage control, or a compulsive “copycat” study session?

Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to connect these two behaviors. From emotional anchors and routine-seeking to mimicry of notorious killers, we explore how Kohberger’s post-crime actions reveal a man more concerned with validation and borrowed identity than originality.
