When the name Bryan Kohberger appears on your screen, think of nothing more than a murder mystery. Kohberger, a 29-year-old man, was apprehended and formally charged in connection with the tragic deaths of four University of Idaho students.

The sad incident occurred in November 2022, and the victims were Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. After nearly seven weeks of investigation, Kohberger was arrested in Pennsylvania on December 30, 2022. In January 2023, Kohberger appeared in court in Pennsylvania, where he waived his right to an extradition hearing. He thereby agreed to be transferred to Idaho to confront the charges against him. Let’s get into the full gist!

What Happened in Moscow, Idaho?

On November 13, 2022, an unfortunate incident occurred in an off-campus rental home in Moscow, Idaho. Four University of Idaho students,  Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20—were fatally stabbed. Chapin was not one of the home residents; he only spent the night with his girlfriend, Kernodle. Two other roommates, Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke, remained unharmed during the incident. However, they were ruled out as suspects in the early stages of the investigation.

Initially, it was noted that Mortensen and Funke were asleep during the attack. But in January 2023, after Kohberger’s extradition to Idaho, the release of the probable cause affidavit revealed new information. According to the affidavit, one of the surviving roommates reported seeing the perpetrator—a figure dressed in black with a mask. She recounted that the perpetrator walked past her, and it wasn’t long before she heard crying on the night of the murders.

Legal Proceedings and Media Coverage Surrounding Bryan Kohberger

Fast forward to May 2023, Kohberger faced a grand jury indictment for the murder of the four University of Idaho students. This indictment allowed prosecutors to avoid a previously scheduled June hearing, which might have involved cross-examination of the two surviving roommates. When Kohberger appeared in court, he remained “silent”. This prompted the judge to plead “not guilty” on his behalf. Afterward, Kohberger waived his right to a speedy trial and was present for two hearings on January 26, 2024.

Currently, we are uncertain of the new trial date, as Judge John Judge hasn’t provided an update. Although the prosecution requested a trial for the summer of 2024, the defense has suggested either March or the summer of 2025. Just so you know, this case has attracted media attention. In fact, it has led to the production of a new docuseries titled “#CyberSleuths: The Idaho Murders,” which is currently available for streaming on Paramount+. What do we know about Kohberger’s past?

Allegations of Bullying: Victim or Perpetrator?

It would shock you that Kohberger’s past paints contrasting images. Some who knew him during school described him as quiet and friendly, while others suggested he had a more aggressive side. Sarah Healy, a peer from Pleasant Valley, Pennsylvania, recounted that Kohberger experienced bullying due to his weight. She described him as “very quiet, very to himself,” “really sweet and quiet.” Healy noted that most of his bullies back then were females. On the other hand, Casey Arntz, who attended the same high school a few years ahead of Kohberger, had a different perspective. Arntz did not recall Kohberger being bullied; instead, she suggested he often bullied her brother.

In one of her brother’s experiences with Kohberger, he never physically harmed him, but he displayed aggressive tendencies. This included smashing objects and punching walls during outbursts. Further insights into Kohberger’s past reveal additional instances of troubling behavior. In 2023, Casey’s brother Thomas Arntz told The New York Times that his friendship with Kohberger ended after a playful tease grew into “mean-spirited” bullying. According to Thomas, Kohberger allegedly put him in a headlock, and he had to run for his dear life. That’s not all. Another former college classmate who chose to remain anonymous provided details about Kohberger’s conduct during his doctoral studies.

According to The New York Times, this classmate described Kohberger as frequently taking contrarian stances in class discussions, often leading to heated arguments with fellow students. The classmate noted that Kohberger’s disagreements were more frequent with women. One notable incident involved a female doctoral student who stormed out of the classroom after accusing Kohberger of “mansplaining.” Could Kohberger be behind these gruesome murders?
