VIDEO ABOVE, Nancy Grace travels to Moscow, Idaho to investigate the eerie similarities from Bryan Kohberger's scene of the crime to serial killer Ted Bundy's traits. Don't miss Parallels of Evil: The Bundy and Idaho Killings, streaming now exclusively on Fox Nation. 

Bryan Kohberger was listed online as studying psychology (like serial killer Ted Bundy) in 2018 at Northampton Community College in Albrightsville, where he was a member of Psi Beta and got involved in “raising awareness of hidden disabilities.” He was also employed as a part-time school security officer by the Pleasant Valley School District for several years until last year. Serial killer Ted Bundy got his start in Washington state, he transferred to the University of Washington (UW) in order to study Chinese in '66, but reportedly dropped out two years later.

Ted Bundy was called a classic case of a sexual-sadist serial killer. Bryan Kohberger the man accused of the Moscow massacre last November 2022 fits the M.O. of a sexual sadist serial killer. As a child it appears BK had abnormal sexual fantasies and daydreams. Ninety-two percent of all sexual sadist serial killers were white, grew up in a two parent home, were mother stayed home. Eighty percent were of above average intelligence driven by need for sexual gratification with the first act of hostility or murder in the mid to late 20's. Bryan Kohberger rings all these bells.

Ted Bundy was a highly educated serial killer just like Bryan Kohberger. Ted Bundy was studding for a law degree at University of Utah and killing college co-eds. Bryan Kohberger is a highly educated killer, he completed his graduate studies in criminal justice this year at DeSales University, in Center Valley, Pennsylvania and was a grad student at Washington State Univ going for his Ph.D in criminal justice and criminology and he was also killing college co-eds. Ted Bundy was a serial killer, a psychopathic killer with no empathy made him a very effective predator, just like Bryan Kohberger.

SERIAL KILLER? Bryan Kohberger exhibited sexual sadistic tendencies in the Moscow massacre similar to his online mentor serial killer Ted Bundy an infamous Incel who choose his female victims by look-a-like appearance to a former girl friend who rejected him. Serial killer Ted Bundy was motivated by rejection after he was dumped by his first girlfriend, expert claims. Notorious serial killer and rapist Ted Bundy took the lives of innocent women because he "harbored a grudge" against his first girlfriend who broke his heart, Incel.

MOSCOW, Idaho - Bryan Kohberger's lawyer says media is grotesque wants to get him in front of the firing squad ASAP. Bryan Kohberger could face death by firing squad if he is convicted and sentenced to death for the murders of four University of Idaho students and lethal drugs are not available, according to Idaho State Rep. Bruce Skaug, hell yeah save me a spot! An attorney representing accused U of I killer Bryan Kohberger criticized media coverage as "grotesque" and "twisted" as he asked a judge to keep a gag order in place. "The media of 2023 is not a good place to go," defense attorney Jay Weston Logsdon said. "We're trying to resolve issues, not make them worse." Lodgson said "the push [by the media] is to show in every possible way that the state has it right, this is their guy and the question is how long until we get him to the firing squad. A firing squad is normally composed of several soldiers, all of whom are usually instructed to fire simultaneously. It's grotesque." Attorneys also argued about whether cameras should be allowed in the courtroom for the trial and future hearings.

TAKEN; Khatib Hezbollah 4 Man Kidnapped Crew Takes American Journalist Shelly Kittleson Off Streets of Baghdad Iraq in Broad Daylight.

UPDATE April 2nd 2026: “ Shelly Renee Kittleson, the American journalist that was kidnapped, was warned multiple times by the FBI as recently as the day before it happened. She was playing with fire. They specifically warned her that she was a target of potential Iranian linked violence and they likely knew she was a kidnapping hostage target,” an FBI official told NewsNation with direct knowledge. The State Department also warned Kittleson of threats against her, including as late as the night prior to her kidnapping, a U.S. official told NewsNation’s Libbey Dean.

U.S. and Iraqi officials said American Journalist Shelly Renee Kittleson had also been warned of threats against her in the days before her abduction. “She was contacted multiple times with warnings of the threats against her,” including as late as the night before the kidnapping. Kittleson entered Baghdad a few days before she was kidnapped and was staying in a hotel in the capital. U.S. officials have alleged that Kittleson was taken by Kataib Hezbollah, an Iran-linked Iraqi militia that has been implicated in previous kidnappings of foreigners. 'Kataib Hezbollah' had warned its enemies they will 'taste the bitterest forms of death' if Donald Trump struck its backer, Iran. U.S. journalist Shelly R. Kittleson is 49 years old, she is originally from Monticello, Wisconsin. "She knew and she was warned by US State Dpet that she was a target of the terrorist group Kataib Hezbollah and she did not flee, WTH"?

TAKEN; Khatib Hezbollah 4 Man Kidnapped Crew Takes American Journalist Shelly Kittleson Off Streets of Baghdad Iraq in Broad Daylight. This appears to be a professional kidnapping by Hamas, two individuals (one driving, one in back seat) pull up to Shelly Kittleson as she stood on the street corner near the Baghdad Hotel, she appeared to be waiting for someone. As the gray sedan drove up to Shelly Kittleson two other Khatib Hezbollah individuals came walking up from the right in the photo above. The two men walked up to Shelly Kittleson grabbed her and stuffed her into the rear passenger seat where 3rd man was waiting. One of the street thugs then went over to the rear seat behind the driver and the other goon got in the front passenger seat with the driver and they sped off. 

Freelance journalist Shelly Kittleson, known for her extensive reporting on Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan, has covered the activities of Iran-backed groups, including Khatib Hezbollah (KH). She reported on KH facilities, their involvement in regional conflicts, and the influence of Iran-aligned factions in Iraq for outlets like Al-Monito. According to a report by Al-Monitor, sources from the Trump administration were aware of the threat against her and had advised her not to travel to Iraq. The Khatib Hezbollah group is responsible for killing hundreds of U.S. soldiers and takes a central part in carrying out attacks against U.S. targets in Iraq and acts as part of the Axis of Resistance. The Iran Quds Force of the IRGC finances, instructs, directs, and controls Khatib Hezbollah in Iraq.

Hamas and Khatib Hezbollah has established a presence in Baghdad, Iraq, opening a political office in 2024 with support from Iran-backed Iraqi factions, allowing them to directly engage with local politicians and strengthen regional "Axis of Resistance" ties. Khatib Hezbollah (KH), a powerful Iran-backed Iraqi paramilitary group, has maintained a significant and increasingly visible presence in Baghdad, Iraq, particularly following the installation of the Sudani government. Khatib Hezbollah acts as a, de facto branch of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps–Qods Force (IRGC-QF) in Iraq, bad news for Shelly Littleson. Hamas and the Houthi rebels in Yemen — both Iran-backed terror groups — quietly established political offices in Iraq over the summer, The New York Times revealed on September 17, 2024. The Khatib Hezbollah group has been accused of serious human rights abuses, including the kidnapping, torture, and execution of civilians. This will be a very bad encounter for American Journalist Shelly Kittleson with Khatib Hezbollah terrorists, expect extreme physical treatment with video to follow.

Two Iraqi security officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the case, said the kidnapped journalist was a woman with US citizenship. They said that two Khatib Hezbollah cars were involved in the kidnapping, one of which crashed and was apprehended, while a second car fled the scene with the journalist, heading toward the south of Baghdad, reported Associated Press. 

VIDEO ABOVE; American freelance journalist Shelly Kittleson was abducted by Khatib Hezbollah individuals in Baghdad on Tuesday, Iraq’s Interior Ministry said, as security forces worked to track down the perpetrators. The ministry said the operation was launched immediately based on what it called “precise intelligence.” It added that authorities had intercepted a vehicle believed to belong to the abductors that flipped over as they tried to flee. However, Kittleson was not in the vehicle. Local news reports indicated she was taken near the Baghdad Hotel on Saadoun Street. Hotel address Saadoun St, Baghdad, Baghdad Governorate, Iraq.
