Summary
From missing murder weapons to mysterious Wi-Fi logs, from a debated online persona to the latest prison reports — the Bryan Kohberger case is still revealing layers that keep investigators, experts, and true crime followers talking.
In this comprehensive segment, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins me to connect the dots across multiple threads of the Idaho Four murders case:
We start with the missing KA-BAR knife and clothing from the night of the killings, exploring the possibility that Kohberger kept them in a hidden cache, similar to BTK’s or Israel Keyes’ secret stashes. Could these items still be buried somewhere, waiting to be found — and why would he hold on to them in the first place?
From there, we examine new revelations from Cellebrite examiners that Kohberger’s phone had logged the Wi-Fi network for The Mad Greek restaurant, where two victims worked. Was this coincidence, or part of a larger pattern of surveillance in the weeks before the murders? And why do conflicting witness accounts and cash payments keep this thread alive?
We also revisit the “Papa Roger” mystery — the online handle that posted in true crime groups with uncanny detail before Kohberger’s arrest. Was it him? A sleuth with extraordinary instincts? Or something else entirely? Jennifer weighs in on what the investigation got right, and where it may have stopped short.
Finally, we talk about the release of certain crime scene photos and a Daily Mail report that Kohberger is being harassed in prison through the facility’s ventilation system. What do these developments mean for the families, for public perception, and for Kohberger’s own psychological state?
It’s an all-in-one conversation that doesn’t just revisit the headlines — it threads them together, showing how each piece, no matter how small, fits into a bigger, still-unfinished picture of this case.

| 0:00.0 | This is Hidden Killers with Tony Brewski. Here now, Tony Brucey. |
| 0:05.9 | We've had so many questions about the case against Brian Koberger for so many years. |
| 0:10.6 | And even after his arrest, his conviction, and now with him behind bars, questions still continue to mount up. |
| 0:18.8 | Questions we may not ever get the answers to, but we're certainly |
| 0:22.2 | going to try. We're going to dig. We're going to see what we can find out, joining us to help us in |
| 0:27.1 | that quest. Jennifer Coffendaffer, retired FBI special agent. One of the biggest unanswered questions |
| 0:33.8 | here in this case has been about the K-bar knife. What happened to it? Also, his clothing. |
| 0:39.7 | This was a horribly bloody scene. Where did all of that end up? There's been a lot of speculation over |
| 0:46.1 | time. One of the most recent pieces of speculation has come up from actually Robin Drake, one of our |
| 0:52.1 | contributors here on the program. Speculating on, did Ryan Coburger have a hidey hole similar to what BTK had as well, a place |
| 1:01.3 | where he went back and dropped his belongings, maybe murder weapons, maybe trophies, maybe clothing, |
| 1:07.6 | a place he could go back, look at it, reminisce, or maybe pick up what he needed as he |
| 1:12.9 | went off to wherever he was going. Joining me, Jennifer Coffin-Dafford. Jen, what are your thoughts |
| 1:17.2 | on that idea? We do know that he deviated on his routes of his vehicle history, sometimes going |
| 1:24.7 | to parks, sometimes going to wooded areas. Do you think it's that far-fetched |
| 1:29.1 | that maybe he was emulating like an Israel Keys or something in that part of his I want to be a |
| 1:36.2 | murderer scheme? You know, Tony, from the beginning, supposition on my part was that, and in part based on the shovel, was that certainly, |
| 1:47.4 | I believe he kept the bloody clothing, the K-bar knife. I never thought he threw it in the river |
| 1:54.9 | or anything like that. And this is why. When you look at BTK, when you look at Ted Bundy, to return to the items that were used would be so stimulating. |
| 2:07.7 | And, of course, you know, this crime was a crime of sexual fantasy. |
| 2:15.6 | We've now know some of his searches and what he was, what seemingly |
| 2:22.4 | excited him was sex with bodies that were unconscious, sex with bodies that were completely |
