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.
I’m banking of Det Joe Kenda to solve this.
“Every Psych major chick I have met was crazy.”
... and eventually moved on to a career in HR upper management.
Ditching it is a sign of guilt; maybe smart to keep it.
Or really dumb.
Of course, committing any kind of murder is dumb on the face of it. Unless you are a wanna-be criminologist who is convinced you are smart enough about crime/detective work to avoid getting caught.
Unless your last name is Clinton. Then it’s highly profitable.
HR is the worst. Giving power to the dumbest people in a company is beyond comprehension.
HR is how all these companies “go woke” and are destroyed.
I had to look up Jeffs. Indeed, quite the resemblance.
“HR is the worst.”
Very true.
“Giving power to the dumbest people in a company”
I was in HR, and not dumb. Frustrated by those around me, though.
It could be a project in a Forensic Psychology course also. That’s how I read it...
He took his own vehicle.
Left DNA.
Another post said he followed two of the victims on social media.
He may have called into a talk show vlog on the murders.
For someone studying criminology, he made a lot of rookie mistakes.
I don’t think this was this guys first rodeo.
I have never heard of it, until now.
Is it just 2 pages by Frederic Brown?
Also his major professor and his committee.
OK, I guess it’s possible that this research project does not involve his major professor and committee but just one professor in one class.
I bet you’re an outlier in the profession.
You’re also here on FR and conservative. Definitely an outlier…
I would want to contact every participant in his ‘research’, to make sure they are real, and not involved.

Very good thought - maybe this was his way of finding a partner for his crime. But that’s a Qualtrics survey he linked to, and you can make it completely anonymous. I hope the cops are as smart as you and are looking into this angle!
I think you have it backwards: He drove his white Elantra to Pennsylvania which means his white Elantra took him to Pennsylvania.
Wow! Thanks for sharing...never heard about this.
If he went to Pennsylvania before the end of the school term, almost certainly he finished all his coursework and the only thing he’s working on is his dissertation, so I’m back to asking about the major professor and the committee.
