Summary
By Part Three of Bryan Kohberger’s nightmare week in prison, the stakes rise even higher. The harassment hasn’t stopped—it’s escalated. Inmates continue taunting him with vulgar, threatening language, and experts warn that in an environment like J-Block, those words can quickly turn into violence. “Deadly threats loom” isn’t just a headline—it’s a reality for someone as hated and high-profile as Kohberger.
But perhaps the most devastating blow is happening outside the prison walls: the slow vanishing of family support. Once surrounded by parents and relatives willing to defend or stand by him, Kohberger is now increasingly isolated. With family ties weakening, the protective buffer he may have counted on is slipping away. In maximum security, where survival depends not just on guards but on reputation, that loss of support leaves him even more vulnerable.
Robin Dreeke and Tony Brueski break down what this means psychologically and practically. For someone like Kohberger—who relied on his mother as an emotional anchor throughout his life—the erosion of family connection cuts deeper than he likely ever imagined. Combined with constant inmate harassment and the cold dismissal of prison officials, it paints a picture of a man spiraling into complete powerlessness.
This segment explores the reality of Kohberger’s future behind bars: alone, mocked, threatened, and no longer buoyed by the safety net of family. He thought notoriety would protect him. Instead, it’s painting a target on his back.

| 0:23.4 | That's a great question because there were a lot of warning signs. There were a lot of social cues |
| 0:30.0 | that this was not a man in his right mind. But what do you do when there's all the signs? You can't just go arrest somebody for being icky and weird. |
| 0:41.3 | So what do you do? What do we do as a society for folks like this? |
| 0:47.3 | Because we're seeing so many of them. |
| 0:49.3 | We're seeing so many of them in the news where, well, everybody warned everybody. Parents were aware, |

| 1:36.3 | But we don't arrest people, we don't stop people for crimes that we think they might commit, and that's a good thing. |
| 1:45.0 | We don't want to live in a society like that, but what do we do with folks like this? |
| 1:49.5 | He walked into Pullman in late August, like any other first-year doctoral student, new backpack, new building, that mix of ambition and nerves. |
| 1:57.9 | You can smell on a grad student in the first week. |
| 2:03.0 | If you don't know any better, |
| 2:07.2 | you'd think Brian Koberger was just another criminology kid trying to make his way. But inside that department, the temperature shifted almost immediately. People started whispering, |
| 2:15.6 | first cautiously, then constantly, because it wasn't one weird comment or an awkward interaction. |
