After an intensive search, law enforcement has finally taken a suspect in the murder of four University of Idaho students.
The suspect has been identified as Bryan Christopher Kohberger, and he was arrested in Pennsylvania, in the Poconos.
Here’s hoping that police have the right man in custody — and that, if he is indeed guilty of committing these heinous murders, Kohberger will face justice.
For what it’s worth, Kohberger has reportedly exhibited some bizarre, arguably disturbing behavior since being taken into custody:
And it should come as no surprise to you that Kohberger apparently has a pattern of odd, arguably disturbing behavior.
Except Bryan Kohberger is not just any graduate student, but a graduate student in criminal justice:
And, if you can believe it, it’s about to get even weirder:
“Research Participation Needed.” Just looking for some people to participate in some research, guys.
Talk about things taking a turn. Holy moly.
“Uhhhhhh…” is exactly right. If the Bryan Kohberger who wrote that Reddit post is in fact the same Bryan Kohberger who was just arrested in connection with a quadruple homicide, then … wow. What happened, exactly? Did Kohberger not get a satisfactory number of responses from criminals to his inquiry? Was he just not impressed with the quality of the responses? Did he decide that he could just save himself a lot of time and effort by going out and committing a crime himself? After all, what better way to understand how emotions and psychological traits influence decision-making when committing a crime than to go out and commit a crime? And what better crime to go out and commit than murder?
That’s really how it’s looking, yes.
Granted, the Reddit post isn’t quite as damning as, say, a Facebook post or TikTok video talking about how you’re going to go shoot up a school (you know, the sorts of stuff that law enforcement often gets alerted to and chooses to ignore until someone actually does go out and shoot up a school and then it’s “Gosh, we had no clue that something like this could happen! If only someone had brought this person to our attention earlier!), but still. Looking back at the post in light of Kohberger’s arrest, it’s hard not to feel like maybe there might have been other clues that something about this guy was just really, really off.
“Diabolical” is such a great descriptor. Seriously, what the hell? Did a future quadruple-murderer really go on Reddit less than a year ago to ask for input from criminals on what motivated them to commit their crimes? This is honestly just so insane. On so many levels.
Or it would’ve been … fortunately Kohberger, if he’s the murderer, probably won’t get a chance to do it. And what a tremendous loss for criminal justice scholarship that will be.
Lots people, agencies and different states involved...Plus the suspect and his attorneys. If details aren’t leaked before they go public, I’ll be a bit surprised.
Suspect that someone in his Department at WSU had a strong suspicion that this guy was the perp. Wonder what they will find when they search his apartment near the campus. Anyone think he may have been stalking those girls and has photos of them?
Maybe one of those female (by voice) reporters from ABC, CNN, etc., has strategic interrogation methods.
Try them out on poor Rural Idaho.
The alleged perp cannot be too bright. This type of questionnaire—as distributed—will NOT yield a valid sample. Maybe he just got off on reading the responses.
His house in the Poconos is in a blue-collar community. Most of the houses are vacation getaway, although some do live there full time. It may be gated but it’s certainly not exclusive. My in-laws had a place there for years. About 5 miles from Pocono Raceway.
Someone was reported that he attended class till the semester end. I’ll wait on that one.
They did not search his apartment till today, according to the camera and news crews.
But I’ll bet they were monitoring it.
If cops and crime scene folks showed up there, everyone in the area, being highly tuned to the case, would put 2+2+2=55 (University level math) together.
And jumping the gun might taint any evidence.
Maybe that’s why he supposedly asked if anyone else had been arrested.
It does not appear to be a sex crime, however it may and that information was not released.
That leaves a class crime. Poor leftist graduate student starting his one man war against the wealthy.
Or outside chance, a one man Manson cult aiming to start a race war.
The decisions I made when committing my last crime were...
Wait, never mind.
Maybe some of those folks in Pennsylvania would like to hog some of the spotlight before mystery motive man gets on a jet.☺
Btw, it’s looking like this could be just another ding...No shortage of them nowadays. The universities are full of them.
Sounds like the setup for a Hitchcock movie, doesn’t it?
He was dumb enough to be a follower on Instagram of two of the victims. If this is true, he wanted to get caught or at least knew he would be caught.
My theory from another thread -
HMMM
What if he ‘contributed’ some fake individuals and cases himself.
So, “Look at this guy! His MO is exactly what I think you said happened.” “You are framing me.” “You should be chasing him.”
“It wasn’t me. When it happened, I was scared, knowing all these bad criminals and their similar crimes, and fled for my safety. No one on campus felt safe.”
Took his white Elantra to PA.
Allegedly his voice here at 4:49 into the show.
There’s a sick 4chan post he allegedly did as well stating he wrapped a victims intestine from a ceiling fan.
CSI episode as well.
Hey! Go easy there. Our beloved Jimmuh Cartah is a nuclear engineer ;-)
...but he wasn’t smart enough to get rid of the white car that’s been in the news for weeks
To be fair, intelligence and wisdom differ.
:)
Yep. Saw that earlier.
The call sounded like he was trying to put the trail onto the frat brothers.
