This is Hidden Killers Year in Review.

A look back at the biggest stories of 2025.

This is the Hidden Killers podcast with Tony Bruske and continuing coverage of the case against Brian Koberger.

We are diving deep into one of the most haunting true crime cases of our time.

The brutal murders of four University of Idaho students in November

at 2022. And the man accused of carrying them out, Brian Koeberger. You've heard a lot of reporting

on this case. You've seen the headlines, but what you haven't heard is the behind-the-scenes intel.

It paints a very different and far more unsettling picture of what happened before, during, and after the horrific night in Moscow.

Joining me is Howard Bloom, award-winning investigative journalist and author of When the Night Comes Falling.

It's one of the most compelling true crime books written in recent memory, and this just

isn't a retelling.

It's a full-on excavation of the psychological collapse, the botched interagency power

struggles and the strange telling moments that may hold the key to understanding who

Brian Koberger really is. And perhaps nothing captures that unraveling more than the

moment Howard exclusively uncovered at 6 a.m. phone call, just hours after the murders from

Brian Koberger to his father, a call that hadn't been made public until now. Howard, first off, I want to thank you

for being here. Let's start with that moment. What do you know about that 6 a.m. phone call and why is

it such a critical and chilling detail in this case? First, we should remember that Kohlberger, and now we can say Kohlberger, not the alleged

killer, Kohlberger left the house on King Road at 4.20 in the morning.

Now at 5.54 in the morning, less than two hours later, he is, according to Dateline,

which first broke this story, he's making a call to a phone registered to his father, Michael

Colberger.
