That's what makes this account so interesting. Most of the other stories about BK's interactions with women are related to some negative behavior on his part (aggressive, dismissive, etc.). That narrative does not align with a female colleague not only confiding the break-in to him, asking for his advice and allowing him into her home to install a security system. IMO, if he was as awful to women in general as has been reported, this colleague (fellow student?) would have been aware of it and understandably wary of him.
Is this the same woman that he studied with or gave a ride to (I can't recall the exact nature of their connection) or a different one? If it is another woman, that's at least two women who were around him regularly who were not creeped out, suspicious, etc.
edit: wording
It is my understanding that he was taking classes (graduate level, first year) and that he was a TA. So obviously, he was around women every day. The person who asked his help with the camera issue is likely one of the women in his program. W
A quick search of the WSU criminology program shows that there are 58 students on average, spread across 3 years of the doctoral program. So let's say there were 20 in his program. I assume about half (or more) were women.
We don't know if it's the same woman to whom he gave a ride. There has been mention of an Asian woman (by someone from the Steptoe apt building where he lived) being over one time.
I disagree that if he was awful to some women (or even most women) that the colleague would know about it. I know of many, many examples of inappropriate behavior directed by colleagues at others, when most people did not ever think the inappropriate person would do such a thing. It's the very stuff of which Title IX and other complaints are filled. Indeed, the guy who was kicked out of my own program (made national news, at the time) was perfectly nice to me, but it turned out he was actively harassing two other women in my program. The women he was harassing were not shocked, however.
That's just one example. I have many more, in which people were shocked when the truth came out.
Some women have a high threshold for untoward behavior, some don't.
If it is true that LE thinks he may have been the person who moved her stuff around (a common think that a creeper/peeper will escalate into doing), then surely she's creeped out now (when we discovered who was breaking into our house a few years ago, I assure you I was shocked at who it was, we had been friendly for 2-3 years at the time). I also believe that while maybe Kohberger's sister(s) were pondering whether he was involved in the murders, that it likely came as a shock to his parents.
One cannot use statistics to know whether someone like Kohberger has a problem with women. We know one woman was, and that the school investigated but apparently did not find his behavior problematic (the situation with the following one woman to her car). The woman who stormed out of the seminar because of things he was saying may or may not be that same woman. We just don't know. Many, many bright women have missed clues and cues of impending trouble with assailants (male and female).
IMO.
