Donna Adelson’s Collapse, Kohberger’s Meds EXPOSED & Rex Heuermann’s DNA Bombshell

Donna Adelson’s Collapse, Kohberger’s Meds EXPOSED &
Rex Heuermann’s DNA Bombshell The true crime
headlines this week read like a three-act tragedy.

We begin with Donna Adelson, who just spent her
first weekend as a convicted murderer. Cameras caught her
courtroom “collapse”—but was it really collapse, or the same
manipulation tactic she’s used her entire life? Retired FBI
Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to unpack why Donna’s
outward, audience-scanning “shock” didn’t play, how fear and
control ruled her family for decades, and why the jury likely
returned so fast. We dive into the psychology of the “look” and
the family trauma-bonding that made the Adelsons implode in plain
sight.

Then we pivot to Bryan Kohberger. Newly released
photos from his apartment and office offer strange insight—a
birthday card from his mom, a smiley face echoing on his office
door, disorganized chaos clashing with his “OCD” diagnosis. But
the real reveal? A drug code hidden in paperwork pointing to
levothyroxine, a thyroid medication that, if mismanaged, can
amplify agitation, obsession, and instability. Pair that with his
autism, OCD, ADHD, and ARFID diagnoses, and you get a profile of
someone rigid, fixated, and increasingly unmoored. These
conditions explain quirks, not murder. The choice to kill was his
alone—but the context is chilling.

Finally, the Rex Heuermann case turns a corner.
After years of silence, DNA is officially in. A discarded pizza
crust tied him to hairs on burlap sacks that wrapped the Gilgo
Beach victims. The science? Whole-genome sequencing—a new,
court-admitted method that can pull profiles from even hair
without roots. Defense cried “never used before.” The judge said,
“there’s always a first.” Now, the path to trial is clearer, and
the odds of Rex walking away grow slimmer by the day.

Three cases. Three collapsing facades. Donna, Bryan, Rex. Each
revealing that control, denial, and obsession don’t hold
forever.
