“Murder for Mentorship FBI Profiler Explores Kohberger’s Alleged Obsession with Ramsland”
Was the motive for one of the most haunting mass killings in recent history not rage, not revenge—but academic admiration? In this exclusive interview, Tony Brueski sits down with former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to dissect the Howard Blum theory that Bryan Kohberger may have murdered four students as a twisted gesture to impress his former criminology professor, Dr. Katherine Ramsland.
This theory has captivated and unsettled the public, offering a motive that feels ripped straight from a psychological thriller. But Dreeke—who specialized in decoding human behavior and threat assessments—helps bring it back down to earth. What would it take, behaviorally, for someone to develop that kind of obsessive admiration? And does Kohberger's background support such a profile?
We examine Ramsland’s influence in Kohberger’s academic career, the behavioral patterns that suggest fixation, and how rare it actually is for a student to turn to violence in a bid for academic approval. Dreeke also weighs in on the kind of evidence—emails, journals, statements—that would be required to take this theory from “clickbait” to courtroom credibility.
This episode doesn’t just theorize—it dissects, challenges, and investigates. If you’ve been following the Kohberger case and wondering how credible the Ramsland motive theory really is, you won’t want to miss this deeply informed discussion.
