In Season Two of her true crime series, The God Hook, journalist Carol Costello investigates the complex case of the Ohio Craigslist Killings—and in doing so, unearths the untold story of the crimes that preceded the murders—and the victims who’ve never received justice. Richard Beasley was convicted of murdering three men and attempting to kill a fourth in the fall of 2011, but before that heinous spree, authorities were building a human trafficking case against him.

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we’re revisiting two of the most revealing — and overlooked — aspects of the Bryan Kohberger murder case: the expert witness controversy that could undermine his alibi, and the forgotten evidence that may end up sealing his fate.
In this episode, Tony Brueski takes you inside the defense’s biggest gamble — building an alibi around a cell phone expert, Sy Ray, whose credibility has already been questioned in open court. In a prior case, a judge described Ray’s phone-mapping analysis as “a sea of unreliability.” Now, Kohberger’s legal team is betting his freedom on that same technology. Could this backfire spectacularly? Or will it be enough to cast reasonable doubt on the state’s timeline?
We break down how Sy Ray’s controversial techniques — once criticized for their lack of scientific rigor — are being reintroduced to explain why Kohberger’s phone allegedly wasn’t near the murder scene. But with prosecutors armed with months of cell tower data, GPS pings, and digital forensics, the question becomes: is the alibi built on data, or desperation?
Then we dig into the unsealed warrant documents that reveal a treasure trove of physical evidence the media barely mentioned — items that paint a far more disturbing picture than the headlines ever did. Investigators recovered:

Then we dig into the unsealed warrant documents that reveal a treasure trove of physical evidence the media barely mentioned — items that paint a far more disturbing picture than the headlines ever did. Investigators recovered:
- A blood-stained mattress cover,
- Human and animal hair,
- A student ID card found in his parents’ home,
- A mysterious handwritten note to his father,
- Black shoes, vacuum debris, and a mountain of trace evidence.
Add to that Kohberger’s Amazon purchases, deleted computer files, and surveillance footage — and suddenly, the case doesn’t hinge on one knife sheath. It’s a mosaic of digital and physical evidence converging on one man.
Tony Brueski breaks down what this means for the defense, the prosecution, and the future of high-tech forensics in American trials. Because when expert credibility collapses and overlooked evidence resurfaces, justice becomes a battle not just of facts — but of who the jury believes.
