Could Autism Make Kohberger ‘Less Guilty’ FBI Profiler Weighs In

Published by Tony Brueski on March 3, 2025

Could autism be the latest legal loophole in the Bryan Kohberger case? His defense team seems to think so. In a move that’s equal parts surprising and desperate, they’re floating the idea that he’s on the autism spectrum—suggesting it could be a mitigating factor in avoiding the death penalty. But does this argument hold any real weight, or is it just another strategy to play on jury emotions?

Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks it all down, questioning whether Kohberger’s alleged meticulous planning, stalking, and cover-up attempts align more with high-functioning decision-making rather than impulsive behavior. The real kicker? Studies show people on the spectrum are far more likely to be victims of violent crime than perpetrators.

So, is this just a last-ditch attempt to humanize him in front of the jury? Will the defense’s strategy backfire by offending those who know and love people on the spectrum? And most importantly—will the jury buy it?

Chainsaw Mama! Candace Craig Takes Out Mom To Get Credit Card! - Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

Alright, this one is straight out of a horror movie—but unfortunately, it's all too real. A 46-year-old Maryland woman, Candace Craig, will be spending the rest of her life in prison for brutally murdering and dismembering her own mother with a chainsaw. And as if that wasn’t twisted enough, she then tried to blame the whole thing on her own daughters. Even the prosecutors were left stunned. Assistant State’s Attorney Shauna Coleman, clearly at a loss for words, summed it up perfectly: “This happens in movies and books, not in real life.” But here we are. This nightmare unfolded on May 23, 2023, at the family’s home near Hyattsville, Maryland. And what was the alleged motive? A credit card dispute. Yeah, you read that right. A fight over money led Candace Craig to commit one of the most gruesome crimes in recent memory. After killing her 71-year-old mother, Margaret Craig, authorities say Candace took things to an unthinkable level—she chopped up her mother’s body. And she didn’t do it alone. Her 21-year-old daughter, Salia Hardy, was dragged into this mess too. According to prosecutors, the two of them tried burning Margaret’s remains on a grill—while also cooking chicken at the same time, apparently thinking the smell of BBQ would somehow cover up the stench of burning human flesh. Because nothing says “totally normal backyard cookout” like gasoline and human remains on the grill. Salia Hardy was later charged as an accessory after the fact. Her defense argued that she has learning disabilities, making her especially vulnerable to manipulation. She ended up taking a plea deal and later testified against her mother. When the case hit the courtroom, it was as disturbing as you’d expect. Judge Karen Mason didn’t mince words when she called Craig’s actions “something so unimaginable.” Then she handed down the ultimate punishment—life in prison without parole. And while the details of this case could make even the most seasoned crime reporter queasy, the prosecution didn’t want to focus on the horror. Instead, they tried to shift attention to Margaret Craig’s life rather than just the brutality of her death. “I would instead like to preserve the memory of Margaret Craig,” Coleman said, choosing to honor the victim rather than dwell on the carnage. One of the most damning pieces of evidence came from Salia Hardy herself. She testified that on the night of the murder, she heard her grandmother scream, but her mother brushed it off, saying something just fell in the basement. Oh, and then she casually warned her daughter not to go into grandma’s room. The next day, when Hardy was home alone, she made a horrifying discovery—her grandmother’s lifeless body, stuffed in a bin with a trash bag covering her head. And if that wasn’t disturbing enough, Candace Craig didn’t even try to justify what she had done. Instead, she told her daughter that they had to get rid of the DNA. The options she suggested? Acid, burning the body, or dismemberment. You know, just a casual brainstorming session about how to cover up matricide. Prosecutors laid out exactly how methodical Craig was. She went to Home Depot (because of course she did) and bought grilling supplies, including a can of gasoline. But her plan didn’t go smoothly. When they tried to burn Margaret Craig’s body on the grill, the fire got out of control, prompting neighbors to step in and help put it out. Firefighters were even called—yet somehow, no one discovered the body at that time. By the next morning, with the fire out and the remains "cooled off" (Hardy’s words, not mine), they brought Margaret Craig’s charred remains back inside the house. That’s when Candace allegedly took a chainsaw to what was left, dismembering her mother in the basement. When police eventually arrived for a welfare check on June 2—after a 911 caller reported they hadn’t heard from Margaret in days—they were hit with a smell that could only mean one thing. You guessed it—decomposition. Officers found blood and tissue on the floor. They found three white plastic trash bags. One of them? Contained what looked like brain matter. And sitting nearby? A knife and a chainsaw, both covered in human remains. During trial, Assistant Medical Examiner Dr. Pamela Ferreira revealed that investigators recovered 67 pieces of Margaret Craig’s remains. But here’s the unsettling part—some body parts were never found. The condition of what they did find showed clear signs of both burning and dismemberment with a mechanical saw. While it was clear she was murdered, the exact cause of death? Still undetermined. After sentencing Craig to life without parole, Judge Mason left her with some haunting words: "What we have here is a woman who led a good life and left this world in such a way. And only you know, Ms. Craig, exactly what happened here." And that’s the terrifying part. Only Candace Craig knows exactly what happened that night. So, what’s left? A daughter who will forever be haunted by what she was forced to witness. A mother whose life was taken in one of the most violent ways imaginable. And a community still struggling to understand how someone could do something so horrific—especially to their own family. There are brutal crimes, and then there’s this. And while Candace Craig will never see the outside of a prison cell again, the real question is: What kind of person does this to their own mother? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
