Prison Taunts Turn Convicted Murderer into Cryin’ Bryan, the Whining Insomniac
Bryan Kohberger, the convicted Idaho mass murderer, is once again making headlines—this time for complaining that his fellow inmates are taunting him and preventing him from sleeping. But as one of the victim’s fathers put it, Kohberger isn’t just a “marked man,” he’s a stupid marked man, because openly snitching in a maximum-security prison only puts a bigger target on his back.
Dr. John Brady, a nationally recognized forensic psychologist, has been closely following the Kohberger case from the very beginning and can offer sharp, timely analysis of this latest development.

Dr. Brady can speak to:
- The prison psychology at play—why high-profile killers like Kohberger are often taunted, targeted, and mentally broken down by other inmates.
- The dangerous misstep of publicly complaining in prison culture, and why this may make Kohberger’s life inside far more difficult.
- How Kohberger’s own narcissism and need for control could be fueling his sense of victimhood even after committing such brutal crimes.
- The psychological toll of constant harassment and sleeplessness in prison—and whether it could affect his long-term behavior or mental stability.
Cryin’ Bryan
For audiences, this story adds a compelling new layer: America saw Kohberger as the calculating predator who terrorized college students in Idaho. Now, behind bars, he’s the one being hunted in the social jungle of prison life. Dr. Brady can contextualize this reversal, showing both the dark irony and the deeper psychological forces at play.
Dr. Brady is available for interviews by phone, TV, or radio and can deliver clear, gripping insight into why Kohberger’s prison experience is unfolding the way it is—and what it means for the psychology of criminals like him.

ABOUT DR. JOHN BRADY…
Dr. John Brady is a forensic psychologist who for 25 years has spent hours analyzing why individuals commit heinous crimes, providing testimony in numerous criminal cases, and writing six books taken directly from his professional clinical work and court records.
Having worked with some of the nation’s top defense attorneys, prosecutors, private investigators, judges and even perpetrators themselves, Dr. Brady holds that powerbrokers in some of the most prosperous communities often work to hide the evil lurking within some of the biggest work hubs, endangering the public by withholding information.
Dr. Brady, who has written about why wealthy women shoplift to why individuals commit horrific mass-murders, can explain the step-by-step journey taken in the perpetrators’ unconscious journey into darkness.
“It is possible to learn to identify the hidden reasons for crime,” said Dr. Brady, “to understand what leads an individual to the breaking point.”
Whether such behaviors can be attributed to depression, to over-medication with anti-psychotic drugs, or to disorders such as dissociative identity disorder, Dr. Brady can discuss why the criminal is often caught in their own trap.
