Summary
Could Bryan Kohberger have had his own “hidey hole” — a secret cache for hiding weapons, stolen items, and trophies? Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke thinks so, and the evidence he lays out is hard to ignore.
In this Hidden Killers episode, Dreeke draws chilling parallels between Kohberger’s possible behavior and the methods of BTK, Israel Keyes, and Robert Hansen — all offenders who used hidden locations to store incriminating items for months or even years. This wasn’t just about disposal; for them, it was about control, ego, and having a private place to revisit their crimes.
Kohberger’s history adds weight to the theory. Court documents and witness accounts tie him to suspected break-ins and petty thefts in the years before the Idaho murders. Investigators also discovered a shovel in his car with dirt that was tested, though results were never publicly disclosed. Vehicle data places him at remote parks — including Wawawai — multiple times before and after the killings.
If the KA-BAR is in such a hidey hole, it could be alongside other items: clothing from the murders, stolen possessions from other incidents, or trophies he couldn’t bear to throw away. Dreeke explains how this fits a classic criminal escalation pattern — starting with smaller thefts and building toward violent acts, while developing a system for hiding evidence.
And if law enforcement has deprioritized searching for the knife now that Kohberger faces multiple life sentences, will the truth remain buried forever? Or will the true crime community and independent researchers be the ones to finally uncover it?
