Details are continuing to emerge regarding the man accused of brutally stabbing four young Moscow, Idaho college students last month, with the suspect’s arrest this week leading to a flood of news reports on the alleged killer’s background.

Bryan Kohberger was arrested at his parents’ house in Pennsylvania this week and charged with the murder of the four students, Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin.

News reports revealed that Kohberger, a criminology PhD student at the University of Washington, was allegedly linked to the crime scene via a DNA sample fed into a genetic genealogy database.

Law enforcement reportedly tracked him closely as he drove cross-country from Washington to his parents’ home in Pennsylvania. 

The suspect was also reportedly a security guard several years ago at Pleasant Valley School District near Allentown, Pa., before enrolling at the University of Washington.

Phil Robinson, duck dynasty was a phenomenal football player. Terry Bradshaw was his second string quarter back. Robinson wasn’t interested in the college scene or the pro football life. The coach went to try to talk him into staying in college etc.Phil was cleaning a deer in the living room of his apartment. I do not think Phil is a weirdo

Was his apartment a dorm bathroom that was shared with 20 other people?

He is the first person I’ve heard of to actually be from Pleasant Valley. They should a wimpy picture from his school yearbook.

Pleasant Valley Sunday by the Monkees

See Mrs. Gray she’s proud today
Because her roses are in bloom
And Mr. Green he’s so serene
He’s got a TV in every room

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don’t understand

Creature comfort goals they only numb my soul
And make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray to places far away
I need a change of scenery

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
Here in status symbol land

“about his DNA being on record due to him giving it to an ancestry site. “

No, one of his cousins did a DNA test with an ancestry site. They matched the DNA at the crime scene as being a close family member of the ancestry person. Gives authorities a short list of persons

I know WA State is a backwater podunk nothing in the view of many national and regional news outlets.

But let me point out that there is more than one university on the state.

The alleged killer attended “Washington State University” located in Pullman WA which is in Eastern WA and is 5 minutes from Moscow Idaho where the killings actually occurred.

The “University of Washington” is in Seattle, Western WA...6.5 hours driving rime from Pullman WA.

The University of Washington is where Ted Bundy went to law school

It’s not hard to figure out the difference.....go to Google or Wikipedia for God’s sake.
