From Ricin to Freezers The Twisted Crimes of Kore Bommeli Adams

Kore Bommeli Adams was already infamous in Wisconsin for attempting to poison her neighbors with homemade ricin. But when her roommate vanished in Oklahoma, the dark past came roaring back.

In today’s episode, we unravel the disturbing timeline of Adams—starting with her 2014 ricin plot, where she dusted lethal castor bean powder across a neighbor’s home, hoping to kill silently. That plan failed. But six years later, something even more horrific surfaced.

In 2020, her roommate Talina Galloway disappeared. Adams claimed she left to quarantine by a lake. But investigators found bleach-soaked floors and no trace of Talina’s movement—until hikers in Arkansas opened a freezer in the woods and found dismembered remains.

Phone data, receipts, and camera footage linked Adams to the freezer’s purchase and placement. She’s now facing murder and corpse desecration charges in Oklahoma, with a potential life sentence if convicted. Meanwhile, her Wisconsin ricin case has finally caught up with her, resulting in multiple guilty verdicts.

This case is a masterclass in deception, calculated violence, and the danger of overlooking red flags. How many chances does one woman get before someone listens?

Disturbing New Kohberger Crime Details Reveal Just What A Failure Bryan Kohberger Is At Every Aspect Of Crime

Newly unsealed evidence confirms what many suspected—Bryan Kohberger wasn’t a criminal mastermind. He was a catastrophic failure at nearly every stage of his crime. From digital footprints to missteps at the scene to an obsession with being noticed, Kohberger tried to mimic famous killers like BTK and Bundy—and faceplanted at every turn.

In this episode, Robin Dreeke (former FBI Behavioral Analysis chief) joins Tony Brueski to break down how Kohberger left a blood-soaked crime scene, erased nearly all trace evidence… and then blew it all by being sloppy, arrogant, and digitally exposed.

We dig into the infamous “Papa Roger” online persona, the bizarre Tinder chats about Ka-Bar knives and the “worst way to die,” and Kohberger’s failed attempt to create a legacy through mimicry. Kohberger wanted to be a feared figure. Instead, he became a punchline—a man obsessed with crime who couldn’t even do that right.

From his OCD-driven car cleanings to his bungled trash disposal and fantasy-level delusion, Robin exposes the behavioral profile of a man who failed at murder, failed at deception, and failed at being feared.

Devils Den Attack Police Chaos, Late Alerts, Non-Working Tip Line & Public Outrage

How does a double homicide in broad daylight at a popular state park go unannounced to the public for over six hours?

In this eye-opening episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to examine the catastrophic early response to the Devil’s Den State Park murders. Clinton and Cristen Brink were brutally stabbed while hiking with their daughters, and the public was left completely in the dark. Campers remained at their sites. Families kept hiking. No press conference. No alerts. And when a tip line was finally announced—it didn’t even work.

Dreeke breaks down why this isn’t just a communications breakdown, but a leadership vacuum. From jurisdictional confusion to a total absence of operational readiness, this conversation explores the ripple effect of law enforcement silence: delayed tips, eroded public trust, and a community forced to rely on podcasts instead of police to learn what happened.

You’ll hear why good departments run rehearsals, how chaos exposes poor leadership, and why failing to control the narrative means losing cooperation that could solve the case. If you want a blueprint for how not to handle a crisis, this is it.

Is there any way Bryan Kohberger could appeal his guilty plea and sentencing? Defense attorney Bob Motta says flat out: no. In this detailed breakdown, we cut through the noise, debunk the social media myths, and break down the cold, hard legal truth about what happens after a plea — and what doesn’t.

Kohberger waived his right to appeal. That matters. And while technically post-conviction filings could still come years down the line, they’re unlikely to go anywhere. Motta explains the difference between direct appeals, post-conviction relief, and what’s actually possible under Idaho law — especially given the state’s unusual restrictions on insanity defenses.

We also dive into the strategic moment when Ann Taylor, Kohberger’s lead attorney, likely shifted her focus from “prove innocence” to “save his life.” Because when you’re staring down a mountain of evidence — DNA on a sheath, phone pings, online purchases — your job as a defense lawyer is no longer to fight the inevitable. It’s to keep your client off death row.

This segment is essential for anyone still wondering “what if?” about Kohberger’s sentence. Spoiler: there’s no magic exit ramp.

 Six Shocking Ways Dentist James Craig Tried To Cover Up His Alleged Crime

Description:

This is the full picture.

In this extended episode, we’re putting all four segments together for a comprehensive, forensic-level dive into the mind of James Craig — the Colorado dentist accused of slowly poisoning his wife with cyanide and Visine while texting “I love you” and pretending to be the concerned husband.

Joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, we walk through every psychological layer of this case. From his carefully maintained public image to the alleged poisoning method, the post-crime deepfake plot involving his daughter, and ultimately, the profile of a man who may have weaponized charm, control, and trust to commit the unthinkable.

This isn’t just about what he’s accused of. It’s about how he allegedly pulled it off — and what it says about the psychology behind the mask. We cover:

If you’ve followed this case from the beginning — or you’re just hearing the headlines — this episode lays it all out. No courtroom fluff. No filler. Just the psychological blueprint behind one of the most disturbing domestic homicide cases in recent memory.

What Drives a Man Like James Craig? A Forensic Psychological Profile

What makes someone capable of this kind of betrayal?

In the final episode of our four-part series, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott helps break down the forensic-level psychological profile of James Craig — if the allegations against him are true. This is about more than cyanide and Visine. This is about the man who allegedly used charm as a mask, silence as a tool, and manipulation as a weapon.

We explore traits consistent with psychopathy, narcissistic collapse, and personality disorders that thrive on control and fantasy. We also talk about how someone this calculated can hide in plain sight — in a marriage, a medical practice, a church. And what society needs to learn about the difference between likability and safety.

This episode ties it all together: the behavior, the planning, the mask, the aftermath. It’s the final piece in a puzzle that isn’t just about murder — it’s about prevention. Because understanding people like James Craig isn’t just morbid curiosity. It’s protection.

What happens when the justice system fails to protect—and a father takes justice into his own hands?

In this gripping first episode, we dive deep into the explosive case of Aaron Spencer, the Arkansas father and decorated military veteran now facing second-degree murder charges for fatally shooting Michael Fosler—a man accused of sexually abusing Spencer’s teenage daughter. Fosler, despite 43 felony charges, was out on bond and allegedly in violation of a no-contact order the night Spencer tracked down his truck and found his daughter inside.

Spencer made a split-second choice. Now he’s facing decades behind bars. But was this murder… or justified protection?

Joining me is Eric Faddis, former prosecutor and current defense attorney, who breaks down the prosecution’s side of this legal firestorm. We unpack why the State decided to file charges despite overwhelming public support for Spencer, what the second-degree murder charge actually means under Arkansas law, and how prosecutors navigate the high-wire act of pursuing a case that looks like vigilante justice to some—and heroic parenting to others.

We also explore the Arkansas Supreme Court’s unprecedented intervention, after a sweeping gag order attempted to seal this case from public view. Spoiler alert: it backfired, big time.

This isn’t just a legal breakdown. It’s a wake-up call. Because when victims don’t feel safe and predators walk free, it’s not a question of if someone will take matters into their own hands—it’s when.

Don’t miss this opening deep dive into one of the most emotionally charged, morally complex, and legally combustible cases in the country right now.

Kohberger’s Vanishing Digital Trail

Bryan Kohberger ERASED Everything — What That Really Tells Us | FBI Expert Breaks It Down

In this explosive episode, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to dig into one of the most glaring omissions in the Bryan Kohberger case—his missing digital footprint. Despite mountains of forensic and surveillance evidence, the newly unsealed documents confirm something chilling: Kohberger’s digital life was wiped clean.

No browser history. No damning Reddit threads. No incriminating search terms. Nothing connecting him to the victims online. And for a PhD criminology student deeply embedded in digital forensics, that’s not oversight—it’s intent.

Jennifer explains what it means when a suspect scrubs their digital life, how that reflects a deep understanding of modern investigative tools, and why it adds an extra layer of premeditation to the already damning evidence. We also explore what was found—DNA on the knife sheath, surveillance of the white Elantra, and the chain of events that led to Kohberger’s arrest.

If you’re wondering how someone could be so careful with their digital footprint and yet still get caught—this episode breaks it down.

📌 Topics:

– Kohberger’s erased online history

– The limits of digital forensics

– DNA evidence and search warrant findings

– Kohberger’s behavioral pattern post-crime

– Was he smart—or just lucky?

In this raw and revealing courtroom testimony, 75-year-old Donna Adelson takes the stand—not to proclaim her innocence or deny involvement in the alleged murder-for-hire plot against her former son-in-law Dan Markel—but to air a laundry list of grievances about her life in jail. What unfolds is an unexpected glimpse into the mindset of the accused matriarch at the center of a high-profile murder case.

As the courtroom listens, Donna describes a series of alleged assaults, threats, and extortion attempts inside the jail. She claims inmates have targeted her for her notoriety, demanded canteen items, and physically attacked her, including one incident where she says she was struck in the head. The woman accused of helping orchestrate a contract killing sounds less like a defendant preparing for trial and more like someone demanding better room service.

This episode features Donna’s testimony in her own words—unedited, uninterrupted, and unbelievable at times. Her tone is calm, measured, even matter-of-fact, but the content paints a picture of someone deeply concerned with her comfort, not the case against her. It’s the kind of courtroom moment that leaves everyone wondering: is this strategy, delusion, or both?

We give you the full testimony as it happened, without spin or commentary. Hear for yourself how Donna attempts to reposition the narrative just weeks before her murder trial is set to begin. Whether it’s a legal maneuver or a bid for sympathy, this testimony is unlike anything we've seen so far in the case—and it's all here.
