• Bryan Kohberger: The Evidence We’ll Never See — What A Jury Never Got to Hear
    Oct 23 2025
    When Bryan Kohberger suddenly took a plea deal, the courtroom went silent — and with it, hundreds of pieces of evidence, witness testimony, and forensic detail that were set to define one of the most watched murder trials in America.

    Now, newly unsealed documents are giving us a chilling glimpse at what the jury would have seen: the DNA on the knife sheath, the phone data that tracked Kohberger’s movements, and the professors at Washington State University who were ready to testify about his behavior and his disturbing fascination with Ted Bundy.

    In this episode, we dive deep into the evidence that never reached the courtroom. From autopsy findings showing skull fractures and defensive wounds — to the Bundy-inspired patterns prosecutors were prepared to lay out — this is the inside story of the case that ended before it began.

    We’ll also look at what’s happening inside Idaho’s maximum-security prison right now. Records show Kohberger filing grievances, clashing with staff, and trying to control his world through paperwork — the same obsessive behavior that defined him long before his arrest.

    What did the public lose when this case never went to trial? What truths are still buried in sealed exhibits and redacted reports? And what does the newly unsealed evidence tell us about the mind of the man behind the Idaho student murders?

    Join Tony Brueski as Hidden Killers pulls back the curtain on the evidence the world was never meant to see — and the haunting parallels between Bryan Kohberger and the killers he studied.

    Subscribe for more in-depth true-crime analysis, expert interviews, and psychological deep dives into the nation’s most disturbing cases.

  • Alivia Goncalves Breaks Her Silence: What She Saw, Heard, and Learned About Bryan Kohberger
    Oct 23 2025
    In a powerful new conversation, Alivia Goncalves — sister of Kaylee Goncalves, one of the victims in the University of Idaho murders — is breaking her silence about her private meeting with prosecutors and investigators in Lewiston, Idaho in an interview with Brian Entin. We discuss what she revealed to him.

    For the first time, Alivia shares what really happened behind closed doors on October 6th, when she sat alone across from members of the prosecution team, Idaho State Police, and Moscow PD — determined to learn everything she could about her sister’s murder and the evidence against Bryan Kohberger.

    In this emotional, revealing discussion, Alivia describes the meeting as “traumatizing but necessary.” She opens up about what it was like to see key evidence firsthand — including the full surveillance timeline tracking Kohberger’s movements from 3:00 to 4:20 a.m., the cell tower CAST data showing 23 visits to the victims’ home, and even one carefully redacted crime scene photo.

    She also talks about the moment prosecutor Bill Thompson admitted he couldn’t guarantee that sensitive images would never leak — a moment that pushed her to face the unthinkable rather than risk being blindsided online later.

    Alivia reveals new context about Kohberger’s Amazon knife purchase, the witness list including one of his sisters, and her reaction to recently unsealed Washington State University reports detailing multiple complaints from women who said Kohberger made them feel unsafe.

    But the heart of this story isn’t just the evidence — it’s Alivia’s ongoing mission. She’s building a digital archive to preserve the full truth of what happened to Kaylee, Maddie, Xana, and Ethan — to protect their legacy from conspiracy theories and online distortion.

    This is a story about strength, truth, and the fight to keep reality intact.

  • Inside Kohberger’s Last Power Play: Why He Won’t Pay the Families He Destroyed
    Oct 22 2025
    There’s a kind of cruelty that doesn’t end with a conviction. It’s quieter — colder — and it shows up in the fine print of legal filings long after the headlines fade.

    Convicted killer Bryan Kohberger, now serving four consecutive life sentences for the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, has found a new way to wound the families of his victims — by refusing to pay them the restitution the court ordered.

    In a stunning October filing, Kohberger’s defense argued he shouldn’t have to pay because the victims’ families received donations through GoFundMe. That’s right — he’s trying to use the kindness of strangers as a legal loophole to get out of paying what he owes. His lawyers claim the families “did not suffer an economic loss” because they were “extensively funded” through public generosity.

    It’s a move that feels less like a legal argument and more like one final act of control from a man who’s spent every step of this process refusing to take accountability. The same man who broke into 1122 King Road that November night and took four young lives is now arguing over dollars and decimals from his prison cell.

    But here’s the deeper truth: this isn’t about money — it’s about power. About the narcissistic offender’s need to stay relevant, to twist the knife one last time, even when the world’s stopped listening. The Goncalves and Mogen families, who’ve already endured the unthinkable, are being forced to re-engage with a man who should’ve faded into the background of justice months ago.

    This episode of Hidden Killers breaks down the legal, psychological, and moral layers of Kohberger’s final insult — how it exposes the pathology of control, entitlement, and complete emotional detachment that’s defined him from the start.

    Because for Bryan Kohberger, the violence never really stopped. It just changed form.

  • Growing Up Kohberger: The Family Behind the Killer
    Oct 21 2025
    Before the flashing lights and the headlines, the Kohbergers were just a quiet Pennsylvania family.
    Then one December night, the world changed — and so did their last name.

    In this Hidden Killers special, Tony Brueski explores the human cost of infamy through the story “Growing Up Kohberger.” What happens when your sibling becomes the nation’s most hated man? What happens when your last name turns radioactive overnight?

    Through documented accounts, psychological research, and parallel stories from other families of killers, Tony examines what experts call courtesy stigma — the inherited guilt of proximity. He explores the moral injury of love and revulsion colliding, and the silent trauma of “ambiguous loss,” where the person you love is alive but gone forever.

    This isn’t about the crime — it’s about the quiet aftermath. A mother trembling in court. Sisters deciding whether to change their names. A family learning to breathe again in a world that won’t forget.

    Because the hardest sentence isn’t always served by the guilty. Sometimes it’s carried by the ones who have to keep living under the same name.

  • Bryan Kohberger: No Trial, No Testimony—So Where’s Lifetime Getting Their Script?-WEEK IN REVIEW
    Oct 19 2025
    Before the families could speak, Hollywood did. In a stunning October 2025 announcement, Lifetime confirmed that actor Miles Merry will play Bryan Kohberger in an upcoming dramatization of the Idaho student murders. The film, part of the network’s long-running “Ripped From the Headlines” series, is already deep in pre-production — casting finalized, production crew set, and a release date likely locked. But the families of the victims? They were never asked. Never consulted. Never warned.

    This is Lifetime’s formula: turn tragedy into prime-time content. They did it with Amanda Knox, Gabby Petito, and Chris Watts — all criticized for exploiting real people’s pain. But the Kohberger case stands apart. There was no trial, no testimony, no motive revealed under oath. Kohberger pled guilty in July 2025, receiving four consecutive life sentences without parole. The record is silent — and into that silence, Lifetime will now write fiction.

    That’s what makes this story so unsettling. Without verified facts, screenwriters must invent them: imagined conflicts, fictional flashbacks, emotional arcs, and even dialogue for the killer himself. None of it comes from evidence or sworn testimony — yet millions will watch and remember those scenes as if they were true.

    Alivea Goncalves, sister of victim Kaylee Goncalves, called it “really angering.” The families weren’t informed. They learned from the headlines. To them, the victims are not characters, and their grief is not a plotline.

    This isn’t about one network being evil — it’s about the moral cost of entertainment that blurs the line between truth and storytelling. Because when a true crime story gets rewritten for television, it doesn’t just distort memory — it replaces it.

  • Why Did Bryan Kohberger Really Plead Guilty? The Family Factor? -WEEK IN REVIEW
    Oct 18 2025
    Why did Bryan Kohberger suddenly plead guilty after nearly two years of pretrial warfare? The answer might be more personal—and more psychological—than legal.

    In this breakdown, we explore how the revelation that Kohberger’s sister, Amanda, was on the prosecution’s witness list may have triggered a collapse in his carefully controlled defense. For a man driven by dominance, image, and manipulation, the prospect of family testifying against him may have cut deeper than any courtroom battle.

    We unpack:
    • The timeline between Amanda being listed and Kohberger's plea
    • What his control-obsessed behavior says about the psychology of his decision
    • How avoiding a trial may have spared his family—and preserved his own narcissistic narrative
    • The legal pressures: failed suppression motions, damning DNA rulings, and an inevitable death penalty trial
    • The psychology of narcissistic collapse and what it looks like when the mask slips

    Was it guilt, fear, or one last act of ego-driven control disguised as mercy? This is the deeper story behind Kohberger’s plea—and what it says about him.

  • Bryan Kohberger’s Costco Video & The Psychology of Calm After Killing-WEEK IN REVIEW
    Oct 18 2025
    They kill.

    Then they smile for cameras, clock in for work, or go grocery shopping.

    In this chilling Hidden Killers investigation, we explore “The Performance of Normal” — the haunting calm that follows murder. Starting with Bryan Kohberger, who prosecutors say was seen casually shopping hours after the brutal Idaho student murders, we dive deep into the psychology behind that eerie stillness.

    Why do some killers seem completely composed after committing horrific crimes?

    From John List, who ate lunch next to his wife’s body before vanishing for 18 years…

    To Dennis Rader (BTK), who left a Boy Scout camp to murder and came back by morning to flip pancakes for the troop.

    To Chris Watts, who went to work just hours after killing his pregnant wife and daughters.

    To Stephen McDaniel, who gave a TV interview about his “missing” neighbor — the same woman he had just murdered.

    To Colonel Russell Williams, a respected Canadian military commander smiling for charity photos days after taking a life.

    To Tyler Hadley, the Florida teen who killed his parents, then threw a party with their bodies hidden in the next room.

    To Susan Smith, the mother who tearfully begged for her children’s return after drowning them herself.

    And Ian Huntley, the school caretaker who joined the search for two girls he had already murdered.

    This episode examines the psychology of composure — how killers weaponize calmness, and why society so often mistakes it for innocence.

    It’s not just what they do. It’s what they don’t.

    Because sometimes, evil doesn’t look like rage.

    It looks like control.

    It looks like “normal.”
