Summary
Description:
Was Bryan Kohberger studying criminal justice to fight crime—or to understand himself as a future killer?
Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to explore this chilling angle in the Idaho murders case. Kohberger wasn’t just a PhD student in criminology—he was deeply immersed in the psychology of serial killers, studying under leading experts, and even conducting Reddit surveys asking former criminals how they felt during their crimes.
So… was he preparing for a career in law enforcement, or rehearsing for murder?
We dissect Kohberger’s academic path, his psychological transformation, and whether his education served as a blueprint for violence. Did his deep knowledge of crime scene behavior, forensic protocols, and law enforcement tactics give him false confidence he could commit the "perfect crime"?
This conversation goes deep into the disturbing intersection of intellect, obsession, and pathology—and whether academia unwittingly gave Kohberger the tools to kill.
If you’ve ever wondered whether someone can study crime so closely they become part of it… this one’s for you.
