D4VD, Kohberger, Delphi — Chainsaws, Muted Video, and Missing Hair

D4VD, Kohberger, Delphi — Chainsaws, Muted Video, and Missing Hair

Author: True Crime Today May 6, 2026 Duration: 58:08

The evidentiary landscape across these three cases reveals patterns that your questions have been tracking with precision. From forensic trace analysis in the D4VD case to chain of custody disputes in Idaho to excluded alternative suspect evidence in Delphi, the investigative details expose alleged systemic gaps at every level.

In the D4VD case, prosecutors say LAPD’s Trace Analysis Unit found plastic from an inflatable pool lodged in wounds on Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s remains. Amazon and Postmates records allegedly tie the purchase of that pool, along with chainsaws, a body bag, and a burn cage, to David Anthony Burke under the alias Victoria Mendez. Burke has pleaded not guilty and maintains he did not cause Celeste’s death.

In Idaho, the defense forensic scientist who reviewed the Ka-Bar knife sheath alleges the evidence bag was documented retroactively and that the chain of custody was legally insufficient. The FBI confirmed that a hair found near one of the victims does not belong to Bryan Kohberger. It has reportedly never been fully processed.

In Delphi, Richard Allen’s reply brief details what the defense says the jury was denied: the composite sketch, testimony challenging bullet-matching evidence, audio from Allen’s solitary confinement, the Kegan Kline catfish connection, and evidence pointing to alternative suspects whose interviews were allegedly recorded over and whose weapons were never collected.

Robin Dreeke and Tony Brueski take listener questions across all three cases, connecting the forensic, investigative, and procedural threads your messages keep pulling.
