Tonight on
Hidden Killers Live, we’re cutting straight through the fog that has surrounded Washington State University’s handling of Bryan Kohberger’s behavioral complaints — and we’re doing it with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, one of the most respected behavioral experts in the country.
This isn’t about blaming people who didn’t have a crystal ball. This is about understanding what
behavioral red flags actually are. Before a single crime is committed, before there’s a police report, before anyone can articulate what’s wrong — humans pick up patterns. They feel unsafe. They sense boundary-violating behavior. They feel instincts firing long before the conscious mind can put language to it. And that’s not “overreacting.” It’s evolution.
WSU had multiple complaints, private warnings between women, faculty concerns, documentation, meetings, and a mandatory behavioral intervention. Yet the university treated it all like an HR issue instead of a threat-assessment problem. Tonight, Robin breaks down why that distinction matters — and how institutions all over the country make this same mistake.
We explore why academia is uniquely vulnerable to minimizing threat indicators, why “but he’s never been violent” is a meaningless metric when evaluating patterned behavior, and why institutions often freeze instead of act. Stacy brings in insights from
The Gift of Fear, examining the neuroscience behind the “gut feeling” that so many women reported.
And then we tackle the paradox: how do you protect a community when the person at the center hasn’t committed a crime? Where’s the line between rights and risk? And what should universities be trained to recognize that they currently aren’t?
This is one of the most important conversations we’ve had — not about predicting crime, but about seeing what institutions are terrified to acknowledge.
