Psychotherapist Analyzes Kohberger and D4vd's Alleged Psychology

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott provides clinical analysis of two of the most psychologically significant cases in true crime — the Bryan Kohberger Idaho murders and the prosecution of David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd, for the alleged murder of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

In the Kohberger segment, Scott analyzes three never-before-published letters written from the Latah County Jail — to his dog, his sister, and his family — which contain no reference to his four victims, no acknowledgment of the charges, and language detached from any recognizable reality. She examines these alongside the FBI's interview with his mother, inmate-reported obsessive behaviors, and the psychological dimensions of his emotionless guilty plea to four consecutive life terms.

In the D4vd segment, Scott examines both the alleged psychology of the accused — from the reported years-long pattern of alleged contact with a minor to the alleged post-mortem conduct prosecutors describe — and the bystander dynamics that prosecutors allege allowed a fourteen-year-old to be allegedly hidden among adults who reportedly never questioned the cover story. Three grand juries heard testimony from friends, managers, and family. Scott applies clinical frameworks to explain how alleged predatory behavior may reportedly persist when professional loyalty, financial entanglement, and social conformity converge.

Burke has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintains his innocence.
