Two weeks before the slayings of four University of Idaho students last November, the man now accused of killing them sent a series of messages to one of the victims on Instagram, an investigator familiar with the case tells PEOPLE.

In late October, an account that authorities believe belonged to Bryan Kohberger sent a greeting to one of the female victims, the source says. When he didn't get a reply, he sent several more messages to her.

"He slid into one of the girls' DMs several times but she didn't respond," the source tells PEOPLE. "Basically, it was just him saying, 'Hey, how are you?' But he did it again and again."

Bryan Kohberger told a fellow Washington State University graduate student living in the same on-campus housing complex that he submitted his DNA for consumer genetic testing to explore his ancestry, the neighbor told the Idaho Statesman. Kohberger, 28, was a Ph.D. student in WSU’s criminal justice and criminology department.

He now stands charged with four counts of first-degree murder and felony burglary in the killing of four University of Idaho students on Nov. 13.

Kohberger’s neighbor said the two became acquainted while crossing paths on the residential property a handful of times after they each moved there in August. The WSU Ph.D. student lives across from the apartment where Kohberger resided until recently, and he said the two traded cellphone numbers.

In their longest interaction, on the first Friday night of the fall semester, they spent about an hour chatting, the man said. The Statesman agreed to grant him anonymity over privacy concerns to publish his account of his exchanges with Kohberger, including that conversation — months before Kohberger was arrested.

That August evening, the two grad students ran into each other in the large housing complex’s parking lot next to their buildings, the man said during an interview at his apartment. Kohberger then asked him if he wanted to walk and talk, he said, and the two got to know each other a little while taking laps around the asphalt parking area.

During their discussion, Kohberger asked his neighbor, who is not from the U.S., whether he could identify Kohberger’s ancestral background, the man said. The neighbor said he guessed Italy before Kohberger stated that he was of German descent. “He talked about his ancestors,” the 30-year-old neighbor said. “He had some sort of DNA test. I don’t know how he got to that point. … It was just interesting to him.”

I was in the third row and did not notice the scratches on Bryan Kohberger’s face in court today — but zooming in on the courtroom video they are visible. Trying to find out more — going to be hard with gag order.

Accused Idaho killer's unsealed search warrants reveal blood-stained mattress cover

Washington State University Police recovered a possibly blood-stained mattress cover, human hairs, a glove and a computer from University of Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger’s apartment, according to a search warrant unsealed in Washington…

Washington State University Police recovered a possibly blood-stained mattress cover, human hairs, a glove and a computer from University of Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger’s apartment, according to a search warrant unsealed in Washington Court on Wednesday.

Police executed a search warrant at the 28-year-old Ph.D student’s residence and office at Washington State University in Pullman on Dec. 29, the same day as Pennsylvania police and a SWAT team had raided his parents house and taken him into custody in the early hours of the morning.

Inside Idaho Murder Suspect's Alleged Chat Room Posts: I Can Do 'Whatever I Want with Little Remorse'​

"Nothing I do is enjoyable. I am blank, I have no opinion, I have no emotion, I have nothing," Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the Idaho murders, reportedly wrote​

The University of Idaho murder suspect allegedly wrote on online forums during his youth about feelings of depression, dissociation and being able to do "whatever I want with little remorse," according to a report by The New York Times.

An account on the online forum Tapatalk with the username Exarr.thosewithvisualsnow and a profile picture that resembles Bryan Kohberger has 118 posts from more than 10 years ago, many focused on disturbing aspects of the user's mental state.

A Washington judge unsealed the pair of search warrants for Bryan Kohberger's apartment and office. That's because a prosecutor filed a motion; it argues a lot of the information in those documents was already released via the affidavit that went public when the Idaho killings suspect was extradited from the Poconos.

A gag order remains in place preventing anyone involved from discussing the case, though we may learn more before the June preliminary hearing.

Kohberger's Pennsylvania public defender Jason Labar told 69 News sealed search warrants unseal after 60 days from when they were signed, unless a motion is filed earlier. That means the search warrants for Kohberger's parents' Chestnuthill Township home may be unsealed at the end of February or early March.

69 News is waiting to hear back from the Monroe County District Attorney's Office to find out if any motions are in the works.
