Dateline just leaked explosive evidence in the Bryan Kohberger case—and now the defense claims someone else did it. With the trial coming up late summer... is justice unraveling before it even begins? 

#STSNation, 

Welcome to Surviving the Survivor — the podcast that brings you the #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime, covering the cases that matter most. 

Tonight, we dive into the Bryan Kohberger legal earthquake. 

First, the Dateline NBC special aired surveillance footage, phone pings, and graphic search histories—all evidence that may have been under court seal. 

Now, Judge Steven Hippler says the court’s gag order was “likely” violated, a special prosecutor may be appointed, and the entire case could be jeopardized. 

Then came another curveball: At a May 15 hearing, Kohberger’s defense dropped a sealed motion suggesting “alternate perpetrators” may be to blame. The judge wasn’t buying it—at least not yet. He’s demanding actual evidence before deciding whether the theory will be admissible. 

Meanwhile, victim families are speaking out. Angela Navejas, mother of Madison Mogen’s best friend, says the defense is weaponizing distraction while ignoring the pain of the victims’ loved ones. The Goncalves family posted: “One step forward, two steps back.” Is this trial about to implode?
