The warden of the Pennsylvania jail where Bryan Kohberger has been held described the accused killer’s time behind bars as “uneventful” — denying reports that the suspect taunted jail guards.
Kohlberger, who is accused of murder in the killing of four University of Idaho students, was housed at the Monroe County Correctional Facility alone on suicide watch as a high-security inmate, Warden Garry Haidle told the Idaho Statesman.
The warden also denied a report from the Daily Mail, which quoted a fellow inmate who claimed that Kohberger taunted guards, tried to expose himself and sang violent rap songs.

Oh. A prisoner lied about another prisoner in the lockup?
First time I’ve ever heard of that happening.
Hey, she got her 15m of fame. Isn’t that what is really important?

hiring hookers to pee on a bed in a Moscow hotel room suspected of previously being used by President Barack Obama.
Hey, what’s the problem?
The tattling prisoner got paid, the Daily Mail got paid, people interested in the story were able to further feed their interest, right or wrong, the suspect was shown to be crazy and evil just like we all thought...
A microcosm of modern media.
Fake but accurate...I seem to have heard that before
I wondered about that so called ‘report’. Too spiced up.
She didn’t have much credibility to begin with.
I just couldn’t picture a fully staffed prison holding a female inmate close enough to a man so she could see when he tried to flash his bare organ to her.
I wonder who paid her and how much?
I’m sure she would tell me everything, for the right price.
It’s likely the reason the judge issued the gag order.
denying reports that the suspect taunted jail guards.
= = =
No wonder the Idaho Judge gagged everyone.
Agreed.
This is one caper I want treated exactly “by the book”. No procedural screwups to let this guy off the hook.
I am not surprised. The claims that this man was acting crazy just seemed too much like easy fodder for the tabloid media.
While I will not yet say he is innocent I am still not seeing much in the way of actual evidence that he committed these crimes.
I'm of like mind. Personally, I think the Moscow Chief is pretty sly and held things very close to the vest in spite of the slings and arrows he was taking from the media and even some of the victims' families. I don't think he would have done so if he hadn't been meticulously crossing t's and dotting i's in the background.
That said, I could be wrong, and he could be throwing crap against the wall to see what sticks...but I think if that was the case and he was caving to media and political pressure, he'd have panicked and broken sooner and released a lot more info earlier on to try and curry favor with those demanding it.
What concerns me most about his whole case are the reports Goncalves had raised concerns about a stalker a month or two prior to the killings. Whether or not that was Kohberger, I'd be willing to bet it was ultimately the killer.
Just my $0.02
“While I will not yet say he is innocent I am still not seeing much in the way of actual evidence that he committed these crimes.”
I am sure they have matched his DNA by now.
I didn’t believe a word of it from the start. Then again, God has given me the gift of discernment. Not much else, but I have that.
The Daily Mail. The Zeepers’ trusted source of information. Lol.
Undoubtedly they have, but, "DNA recovered from the crime scene," is a pretty wide open phrase.
If it's from tissue under one of the victim's fingernails, or his blood was comingled with theirs in the bedroom, then it's about as close to a slam dunk as it's going to get.
On the other hand, if it's from a drop of blood or two in another room, three's nothing keeping the defendant from claiming he had a nosebleed at a party a month or two before the killings. The police body cam video from the noise complaint at the house back in September clearly showed that was a party house with people coming and going while the residents weren't even there, and is potentially going to be problematic for the prosecution depending on the type(s) of evidence they present.
There was an online rumor (for whatever that's worth) that the DNA was recovered from a sink where he may have washed up after the killings. Again, if it was comingled with the victim's blood, it's going to be pretty hard for his defense to explain away, but if it's just a sample from a soap dish, that confirms he was there but not when in relation to the killings.
Vincent Bugliosi wrote a pretty good book on the OJ Simpson case, and addressed the media handwringing over, "circumstantial evidence." His analogy was that circumstantial evidence isn't a chain where only one link needs to be broken, but rather a rope with a lot of individual threads that work together and even if one or two come undone, the rest may be strong enough to make the case. Having Kohberger's DNA on a soap dish in the house may not make the case by itself, but if combined with a couple hundred other data points may serve to exclude any other possibility beyond a reasonable doubt.
As per my prior post on this thread, I think Chief Fry is a pretty clever fellow and would not have moved forward with the case and arrest if he didn't have his ducks pretty well lined up. I hope (and think) I'm right about that, but would never be closed to admitting the possibility I could be wrong about someone or something.
Good summary.
They followed him locally and across the country taking the time to get their ducks in a row before making the arrest.
Again, just my personal theory and I could be 100% wrong, but I do believe it will be located.
