Unsealed Documents Reveal Bryan Kohberger’s Disturbing Behavior, Unheeded Warnings Before Idaho Murders

New investigative documents released by Idaho State Police expose a pattern of alarming and “creepy” behavior exhibited by Bryan Kohberger, the convicted killer of four University of Idaho students, in the months leading up to the 2022 murders. Faculty and fellow graduate students at Washington State University’s criminal justice program reportedly raised serious concerns about Kohberger’s sexist conduct and predatory tendencies, with one professor even warning he would likely become a stalker or abuser if allowed to continue his academic path.

According to summaries of interviews included in over 550 pages of recently unsealed records, Kohberger developed a reputation for being disparaging towards women and obsessed with the topic of “sexual burglary,” his field of study. One faculty member recounted how Kohberger would physically block office doors, trapping female students, and expressed fears he was stalking individuals. She explicitly told colleagues, “Mark my word, I work with predators, if we give him a Ph.D., that’s the guy that in that many years when he is a professor, we will hear is harassing, stalking, and sexually abusing … his students.” She urged for his funding to be cut to remove him from the program.

The university reportedly received nine separate complaints from faculty, staff, and students regarding Kohberger’s “rude and belittling behavior toward women,” prompting the implementation of mandatory behavior expectation training for all graduate students. Despite these complaints, some within the department reportedly perceived him as a potential future rapist or an “incel.”

While many colleagues did not suspect his involvement in the killings, at least one Ph.D. student noted a change in his behavior after the November 13, 2022, murders, including his cessation of bringing his cellphone to class and a more disheveled appearance. This student also later reported to police seeing Kohberger with bloody knuckles shortly before the killings. Kohberger, who was sentenced to life in prison without parole last month, even discussed the murders with a fellow student, remarking that the perpetrator “must have been pretty good” and that the crimes might have been a “one and done type thing.” The newly public documents shed light on the ignored red flags in the lead-up to the horrific events.
