Summary
Could Bryan Kohberger have actually planted evidence at the crime scene to throw investigators off his trail? It sounds like something straight out of a crime thriller, but some experts are taking the idea seriously. With unidentified male DNA found at the scene and Kohberger’s background in criminology, questions are swirling about just how much forethought went into this crime—if, of course, he’s the one who did it.
Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to break down this bizarre case, from the potential missteps of the prosecution to the eerie lack of blood evidence in Kohberger’s car and home. Could an alleged first-time killer really have been that meticulous, or is there something bigger lurking beneath the surface? And if Kohberger did stage parts of the crime scene, where in the world did he get someone else’s blood?

| 0:00.0 | This is Hidden Killers with Tony Brewski. |
| 0:05.1 | The deeper we continue to dive into the case of Brian Koeberger. |
| 0:12.0 | It seems more questions continue to emerge about this case. |
| 0:17.5 | It seemed, you know, fairly cut and dry, and maybe it is. |
| 0:28.6 | But there's a lot of things on the line here, especially with the discovery of unidentified male DNA at the crime scene. The prosecution remains focused on Koberger's alleged involvement. The defense is, of course, pushing hard to |
| 0:34.6 | basically exploit these unknown DNA samples to suggest alternative possibilities. |
| 0:42.2 | Does this really change the strength of the case against Koeberger, or is this just a classic |
| 0:47.9 | defense strategy to create reasonable doubt? |
| 0:50.9 | To help us break this down from a behavioral and an investigative standpoint, we are joined by |
| 0:55.5 | retired FBI Special Agent Robin Drake, former chief of the counterintelligence behavioral analysis |
| 1:00.7 | program. Robin, let's start here on all of this. You have investigated all sorts of different |
| 1:09.6 | types of behavior on some of the highest levels. |
| 1:12.1 | How much weight should we be putting on this with the discovery of unknown DNA at the crime scene? |
| 1:18.7 | And this is something that could legitimately point to another suspect. |
| 1:23.3 | Or is this just the defense, you know, doing their job, muddying the waters, as Ann Taylor, |
| 1:27.8 | we know, is very good at. |
| 1:30.1 | It's kind of scary, actually, Tony. |
| 1:32.4 | So I was listening to Howard Bloom again, who wrote the book on When Night Comes Falling |
| 1:37.5 | last week on another show. |
| 1:40.5 | And I've listened to him a bunch. |
| 1:41.6 | I've read his book, and I've followed this case with you from the very beginning. |
| 1:45.2 | And at the very beginning of this case, with the DNA on the knife sheaf, I was really, really highly confident. |
