Summary
There’s evidence… and then there’s behavior. In this episode, we go beyond the basics of the Bryan Kohberger case and explore what Dateline NBC has just revealed about the man prosecutors say meticulously stalked his victims — and left behind a trail of digital and psychological clues.
Joining us is former FBI Behavioral Analyst Robin Dreeke, who gives expert commentary on the disturbing details presented in Dateline’s two-hour special: the 2:52 a.m. text from Kaylee, the clear surveillance video of Kohberger’s car, and the 23 late-night phone pings near King Road that prosecutors say signal long-term planning.
But what really stands out are Kohberger’s Google searches — references to Ted Bundy, as well as explicit porn involving unconscious women. These aren’t random clicks. They suggest a level of psychological priming that, in Dreeke’s analysis, mirrors behavior seen in past sexual predators and killers.
We also analyze how Kohberger allegedly tried to interact with women in socially awkward, overly formal ways — texting a partygoer after a brief chat to say, “I really enjoy that activity.” When put in the context of this case, these moments feel less like quirks and more like signs of deep pathology.
We cover the knife sheath DNA, the Amazon Ka-Bar order, and the Indiana traffic stop with his father — but through the lens of behavioral escalation. How do fantasy and fixation become murder? And did Kohberger cross that line long before Nov. 13?
This is the psychological autopsy of a suspect — with an FBI expert walking us through every disturbing clue.

| 0:03.2 | Here now, Tony Bruske. |
| 0:06.2 | Some of the stuff that it looks like they're going to be revealing on Dateline, |
| 0:09.7 | a lot of things that we have been talking about, a lot of things we've been suspecting. |
| 0:13.6 | Those texts are going to be interesting. |
| 0:15.3 | I think it's going to just show more awkwardness that we've seen. |
| 0:19.0 | But what I'm really curious about is the images that are on his phone |
| 0:24.5 | and we've been talking for a while. What are we going to find here? Are we going to find pictures |
| 0:29.5 | of the girls? Are we going to find pictures of people in that house? We're going to find pictures of |
| 0:33.6 | people related to that house? According to the preview, we just saw, there's pictures in there of people that are, at least in the circle of friends of the individuals that were murdered on that King Road house. |
| 0:49.5 | And Coburger didn't seem to have friends. |
| 0:51.8 | So, I mean, it's weird that you have pictures of people in your phone that you're not friends with. |
| 0:57.1 | That seems odd. |
| 0:59.0 | So I'm curious about these pictures. |
| 1:01.3 | I'm wondering, are these pictures he took, like at a party just kind of awkwardly, like, walk, smile. |
| 1:07.8 | He just keeps walking around. |
| 1:09.6 | Or are these pictures that he took from other people's social media |
| 1:12.7 | and then saved on his phone and then was kind of looking at those and ruminating on those what do you |
| 1:19.0 | think we're going to see there and what does it tell us you were going to see exactly what you |
| 1:22.6 | just said and i so you got again you put yourself as we use with our deep, deep empathy in this. |
| 1:29.2 | All right. |
| 1:29.4 | So here I am. |
