In this episode, we dive deep into the mind of Bryan Kohberger — not through speculation, but through verified evidence and behavioral analysis revealed in the explosive Dateline NBC special. While Chapter 1 laid out the hard forensic and digital facts, this time we’re turning the lens toward psychological patterns, red flags, and expert FBI commentary that expose a disturbing escalation in Kohberger’s alleged behavior.

Retired FBI Behavioral Analyst Greg Cooper joins Dateline to explain what he sees as a clear pattern of "progressive domination." What does that mean? It’s the methodical, step-by-step testing of boundaries — and Kohberger, according to newly reported evidence, was allegedly doing just that in the months before the murders.

We break down the alleged break-in of a female grad student’s apartment, where Kohberger reportedly rearranged her belongings, only to later offer to install surveillance cameras — a move that investigators now believe was staged to allow him to spy on her remotely. It’s a chilling story, confirmed by Dateline, that may point to a psychological “rehearsal” before the brutal crimes on King Road.

We also examine Kohberger’s search history, which included terms like “Ted Bundy,” and graphic pornography involving “passed out,” “drugged,” and “sleeping” individuals — both before and after the murders. These were not random clicks. Behavioral experts say they signal a dark internal world potentially aligned with control, voyeurism, and violent fantasy.

Former classmates describe Kohberger’s unsettling social behavior, from overly formal follow-up texts to awkward, invasive conversations that made them uneasy. Dateline gives voice to those who noticed something “off” long before his arrest — and only now realize how serious those behaviors may have been.

And finally, we unpack Kohberger’s post-crime conduct, including his use of latex gloves around the house, bleaching his car, and placing trash into sealed bags he allegedly dumped in a neighbor’s bin. His own sister suspected him and reportedly urged the family to check his car — a moment of tension and dread now confirmed on record.

This is the side of the case where motive starts to take shape. Not from courtroom drama — but from patterns. From control. From behavior. Watch now as we unpack it all, fact by fact.
