Bryan Kohberger’s Search History Revealed: 'Passed Out,' 'Drugged,' and Ted Bundy Obsession

In this episode, we break down Dateline NBC’s most revealing special yet on the case of Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of murdering four University of Idaho students. This isn’t just a rehash — it’s a deep forensic and psychological look into Kohberger’s alleged behavior before, during, and after the crime. From disturbing internet searches to previously unseen texts and surveillance footage, this case is starting to look more premeditated than ever.

One of the biggest revelations? A text from Kaylee Goncalves to her ex-boyfriend Jack at 2:52 a.m., just minutes before the killings began — a haunting detail that solidifies the timeline prosecutors have been building. The Dateline episode also reveals new video of a white Elantra circling the King Road home multiple times, exactly during the window the murders occurred. It's the clearest footage yet, and prosecutors believe it shows Kohberger stalking the scene.

But it doesn’t stop there.

Dateline unveils FBI cell tower analysis showing that Kohberger’s phone pinged near the victims' home 23 separate times over four months — always after dark. That kind of pattern points to calculated observation. Add in the fact that Kohberger allegedly bought a Ka-Bar knife eight months prior — the same kind found at the crime scene — and prosecutors believe a narrative of long-term planning is forming.

Most disturbing of all may be the search history. Kohberger’s phone, seized by law enforcement, contained searches related to serial killer Ted Bundy, and pornography involving unconscious or drugged individuals. These aren’t just red flags — they’re psychological markers that hint at fantasy becoming action.

We also hear from former classmates and partygoers who describe Kohberger’s bizarre and formal social behavior, including unsolicited messages to women and awkward encounters months before the attack.

Is this the profile of a killer who planned every move? Or an innocent man being digitally cornered by circumstantial evidence? You decide — but first, dive into everything Dateline just laid out in excruciating detail.
