Disturbing Behaviors of University Student Highlighted Prior to Horrific Crime
It has come to light that Bryan Kohberger, the man found guilty of a gruesome quadruple murder at an Idaho university, had previously raised concerns among his peers and faculty due to his unsettling and inappropriate behavior. Those who studied alongside Kohberger in a criminology doctorate program had shared their discomfort and fears with investigators.
Unveiling a Pattern of Disturbing Acts
A substantial amount of investigative documents have surfaced, shedding light on Kohberger's conduct during his time as a doctoral student. These papers include a myriad of conversations with fellow students and university instructors, who spoke of his problematic actions and disturbing demeanor.
An alarming revelation was that one faculty member had expressed her fears about Kohberger's potential to harm students if he were to become a professor. She had recommended that his financial support should be discontinued to ensure his removal from the program. This faculty member had even predicted that Kohberger could engage in stalking or sexual misconduct if his academic journey continued.
Furthermore, it was stated that Kohberger frequently entered a shared office space used by several female graduate students, physically blocking the exit. This faculty member recounted instances where she stepped in to help a student leave the room when they expressed discomfort.
Allegations of Stalking and Theft
The same faculty member also shared her belief that Kohberger was following people around. She mentioned a mysterious break-in at a female student's apartment, where personal items like perfume and underwear had gone missing.
Fellow Students Recount Unnerving Interactions
Another student, who was in the same doctoral program as Kohberger, reported to the police that he seemed to relish conflict, was disrespectful towards women, and had a particular interest in discussing sexual burglary, which was his field of study.
After the horrifying murders, this student recalled Kohberger stating that the perpetrator must have been highly skilled. He also suggested that the crimes could have been a single occurrence. She noted that his condescending behavior and unsettling interactions with women in their department were concerning.
Multiple Complaints and Disciplinary Actions
An instructor who worked closely with Kohberger on his doctoral program reported receiving numerous complaints about him from other students and staff in the criminal justice department. She revealed that she had frequently discussed Kohberger's conduct during disciplinary meetings. These meetings primarily focused on his interactions with fellow students and professors.
Nine separate complaints were lodged against Kohberger by faculty members, administration staff, and students, regarding his demeaning attitude towards women. As a result, the university held a compulsory training session for all graduate students to set clear behavior expectations.
Perplexing Behavior After the Murders
Despite the disturbing behavior, many of Kohberger's classmates and teachers did not suspect his involvement in the murders. However, a student did notice some changes in his behavior following the crime. She noted that he stopped using his phone in class, appeared more unkempt, and avoided discussions about the murders. She also reported having seen him with bruised knuckles shortly before the crimes took place.
Odd Behavior in Jail
Following his arrest, Kohberger's cellmates reported his bizarre behavior. He seemed to enjoy watching news coverage about his case and made remarks about his infamy. However, he would change the channel whenever his family or friends were mentioned. Over time, he stopped watching news related to his case altogether.
His cellmates also reported that Kohberger used an excessive amount of soap, took lengthy showers, and frequently washed his hands until they were red. He also requested new bedding and clothes daily.
