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 think you have it backwards: He drove his white Elantra to Pennsylvania which means his white Elantra took him to Pennsylvania.”
Elantra’s are not self-driving/self navigating.
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.
= = =
I read he finished the semester.
And it was his first semester. So he wasn’t near done. And ‘Gone home for the Christmas break’ (and hide up in the woods).
Remember Richard Jewell from the 1996 Olympics?
I assume the accused is from PA. Does the caller’s accent sound correct? I can’t remember what accents in that part of PA sound like.
Update!

The FBI had been watching the Idaho massacre suspect for 4 days prior to his arrest in a raid in PA early this morning

The NY Post is reporting his DNA was found at the murder scene
“
Kohberger’s DNA has also been matched to samples recovered at the scene of the deaths, sources told The Post.”
Yes indeed, criminals are found at every level of intelligence and education, look at the uni bomber
Not too smart PhD guy.
Did he sell one of the girls a car?
Right. I am waiting for LE to mention he has any “priors.” Not sure if they’re allowed to do that, but reporters could find out.....
The guy looks creepy
Also likely to be rejected by everyone out there
“...Warren Jeffs...”
Had to look that one up.
There is an eerie resemblance...
30 year old creep hanging out with college kids. One of those girls rejected him.
Also, his survey was posted from his university, DeSales University in PA, using the university’s Qualtrics license.
If it is the case that he was looking for a partner in crime with this survey, I’m sure the FBI could get loads of data from the university.
This guy is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
“Maybe he just got off on reading the responses.”
That was my first thought while reading the post. Perhaps vicarious thrills weren’t doing it for him anymore, or he wanted to study more directly.
“Don’t be sad, parents. Your little Suzie died in the cause of Science!”
How Faucian.
Any connection between this guy and the WSU student SWAT had to kill a few weeks ago?
I together was arrested in a gated community so I don’t think financial envy is the motive.
Criminal Justice is a fake field, where the schools have monetized another blue collar job. Just like “journalism”.
You skip the degree and debt and just go to work in the field. Work hard and you can advance.
It’s a scam.
Jack the Ripper and D. B. Cooper are not a dime-a-dozen. We only know of them because they were two of the less than a handful of criminals who appeared to get away with their crimes. Yet, in all likelihood they both ended their crime sprees because they met their unsung just deserts.
