Amy Bishop: Professor Turned Killer After Tenure Denial Aug 02, 2025

Show notes

Amy Bishop walked into a University of Alabama faculty meeting with a gun—and opened fire. Three professors were killed, three others injured. And it only ended when her weapon jammed.

But this wasn’t her first act of violence. Years earlier, Bishop shot and killed her own brother—yet never faced charges. She was even linked to a mail bomb case. Despite clear warning signs, she built a career as a Harvard-educated professor and mother of four. Until she snapped, again.

Did the system ignore the red flags for too long?

Before he was recaptured, Hardin’s escape left Arkansas authorities scrambling. Once trusted as the town’s top cop, his DNA later linked him to a decades-old cold case and exposed him as a killer hiding in plain sight.

Creepy Searches, Bikini Pics, and Bundy Fantasies: Dateline Exposes Bryan Kohberger’s Mind Jun 25, 2025

Show notes

New evidence. Creepy search history. A thumbs-up selfie taken just hours after four students were killed. And a major Dateline leak that could shake the entire trial.
Sources say Bryan Kohberger was circling the King Road house long before the murders. He’d been there 23 times. And the night of the attack? He allegedly left behind a bloody chair print — and a Ka-Bar knife sheath. Investigators say he called his dad’s number three times that morning. He also searched for knife sheaths… after the killings.
But the biggest shock? How this sealed info got out. The judge is demanding answers — and suspects it may have violated the gag order. Could these leaks change the trial forever and do you think this Dateline leak helped or hurt the case? Let us know what you think.
