In the episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," guest Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent, discusses the controversial alibi defense presented by Bryan Kohberger, accused of multiple murders. Kohberger’s defense claims he was out for his routine late-night hike and stargazing when the murders occurred. His attorneys are bringing in an expert to corroborate this with cell phone tower data, despite his phone being off on the night of the murders. The podcast delves into the challenges of validating such an alibi against strong physical evidence like DNA found at the crime scene. It also explores the implications of using behavioral patterns and technological data in crafting a defense strategy, highlighting the skepticism surrounding the effectiveness of such an alibi in the face of damning evidence.

**Main Points of the Conversation:**
- Kohberger’s defense claims he was engaged in routine late-night activities away from the crime scene.
- An expert will testify on the cell phone data to partially support Kohberger's alibi.
- The cell phone was off on the night of the murders, creating a gap in the alibi.
- DNA evidence found at the crime scene strongly contradicts the alibi defense.
- Discussion on the limitations and challenges of using behavior patterns and technological data in legal defenses.
- Doubts about the credibility of Kohberger's alibi given his personality traits and evidence pointing to his presence near the crime scene.

In the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," featuring psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott, the discussion explores the reliability of memory in legal contexts. Scott delves into the fallibility of human memory, explaining that unlike a digital recording, human brains construct and reconstruct events, creating a narrative that may not align with actual events. This narrative construction can lead to significant discrepancies in eyewitness testimony and personal recollections, affecting their reliability in court cases. The conversation also touches on the potential for memories to be influenced or altered by suggestions, even leading to completely fabricated memories, as discussed in examples of memory research and therapy malpractices. Additionally, the topic of memory blocking, particularly in traumatic events or during states like blackouts, is examined, highlighting how memories formed during these times may be unreliable or completely absent.

**Main Points:**
- Human memory is highly unreliable and is not a straightforward recording of events but a reconstructive process influenced by perception and narrative construction.
- Eyewitness testimonies can vary dramatically due to the suggestible nature of human memory, leading to different recollections of the same event by different people.
- Past research and clinical examples illustrate how easily memories can be implanted or altered, especially in vulnerable individuals or through suggestive questioning.
- Memories can also be blocked or not formed at all during traumatic events or in states like alcohol-induced blackouts, further complicating their use in legal proceedings.
- The discussion raises concerns about the use of such unreliable memories in court, emphasizing the need for caution in handling eyewitness accounts and personal testimonies.

In the continuous coverage of the Chad Daybell trial, both "The Hidden Killers Podcast" and "True Crime Today" delve into the significant aspects and developments of the case, bringing to light the allegations and evidence that have captivated true crime audiences. The case involves Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell, who are accused of a series of grave crimes, including murder, conspiracy, and grand theft, related to the deaths of Lori's two children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, and Chad's previous wife, Tammy Daybell.

 Key points highlighted in their coverage would likely examine the intricate web of beliefs held by the Daybells, including apocalyptic visions and claims of dealing with "zombies" or dark spirits, which prosecutors argue motivated the alleged crimes. The trial has unveiled a complex narrative featuring evidence ranging from suspicious deaths followed by quick remarriages to the discovery of the children's remains in Chad Daybell's property. This evidence is crucial to understanding the prosecution's case, which posits that the Daybell’s extreme beliefs led them to commit these acts to fulfill their doomsday prophesies.
 
 Moreover, the coverage would touch upon the legal proceedings, including the charges against the couple, the defense's counterarguments, and the emotional testimonies from friends and family members. These elements combine to provide a comprehensive view of a case that is as perplexing as it is tragic, shedding light on the actions and motivations of Chad and Lori Daybell amidst a tale of manipulation, religion, and murder.
