This is similar in Rhode Island - I had to get a background check from either the campus police or local city police department. If it didn't obtain one, I wouldn't be allowed to do student shadowing or teaching.
In my line of work, anyone dealing with evidence in any way gets fingerprinted and a backround check. I was an office manager in a lab and both were a requirement of employment.

Nick Mcloughlin, 26, who was friends with Kohberger in high school and vocational school, and had been following the Moscow murders, told The Daily Beast he was floored to see Kohberger had been arrested.

He described Kohberger as a “down to earth” member of his friend group who was overweight when they graduated junior year. But at the start of senior year, Kohberger was “thinner than a rail” and turned “aggressive,” he said. He’d also picked up a new hobby: taking boxing classes.

“He always wanted to fight somebody, he was bullying people. We started cutting him off from our friend group because he was 100 percent a different person,” Mcloughlin said.

Asked what might have contributed to the change that summer, Mcloughlin said, “We have no idea.”

IMO could be anything psychotropic drugs, steroids , street drugs

I just have a sneaky suspicion his diet is about to change. Don't see a jail throwing away pots and pans.
Nope! My school received the same lunches as the local prisons. I can assure everyone, he is in for a rude awakening.

If that is indeed true, I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to represent himself in court, too à la Ted Bundy or Darrell Brooks.
I agree. I get an arrogant vibe from him. I think he thought he was going to outsmart LE and was above everyone to get caught. JMO, MOO

Wonder if this depraved coward's parents, knowing that he went to school near Moscow and drove a white Elantra, ever contacted detectives?
I doubt it. As a parent, I doubt your mind normally allows you to think your child, who is working toward a doctorate, and apparently has no known violent history, is capable of being a quadruple murderer. They are probably shocked and shattered by this development. JMO

On CNN, I believe they said they retrieved DNA from him to compare. Something about a cigarette butt? ICBW, the news is coming pretty fast.

I think that came from the retired LE guy they were interviewing. He said that’s how BK may have been linked to the DNA at the scene.

Unless you are really looking for something you’re unlikely to find/see something. I’d imagine most people who know BK will be stunned by this news.

Even if they thought he was creepy most people cannot imagine anyone doing such a violent crime unless they witnessed a violent outburst.

Extradition hearing Jan 3rd
In this case, it's a formality.
He will be extradited.
Just an explanation as to why it doesn't happen instantly.

@WFLAJosh

UPDATES: Kohberger’s DNA has also been matched to genetic material recovered at the off-campus house where the students were stabbed to death, according to the sources. An FBI team from Philadelphia has been tracking him for four days in the area where he was arrested

From the above link:

"...“His aunt and uncle had to buy new pots and pans because he would not eat from anything that had ever had meat cooked in them. He seemed very OCD [obsessive-compulsive disorder]...

So much for the rampant speculation about him being a hunter.
He may keep it kosher.


Unless one is a vegetarian and totally excludes meat from their kitchen, a kosher kitchen must have two different sets of utensils, one for meat and poultry and the other for dairy foods. There must be separate, distinct sets of pots, pans, plates and silverware

I don’t think he killed as a research project- that’s backwards. IMO, someone like this was always fascinated with killing, so he studied Criminology as a way to legitimize the fascination with it. I think he fantasized about planning the Perfect Murder, and he wanted it to be sensational because he wanted to hear people talking/ worrying/ sleuthing about it, thinking he was so smart and superior. He didn’t want to kill from studying killers; he wanted to be a killer, so he studied killers.
Makes me immediately wonder if he joined here at Websleuths.

Was the purpose of his "survey" to possibly find a partner in crime? The Moscow police said they wanted to talk to occupant or occupants of the Elantra? And, he apparently asked when he was arrested if anybody else was arrested. Idk.
 
  • #818
How did police come up with the suspect? Maybe the killer called one of the victims before the crime happened? That made this person uncomfortable?

So much fear that he kept the car? It's odd that he kept it. It should, logically, be at the bottom of a lake or burnt to a crisp in a forest somewhere. Instead, he drove it to his hometown in PA. Bizarre.
Could be that the car was a leased car...maybe his parents leased this car for him. I know he is 28 yrs but he has progressed in his education and maybe his parents helped him with his car. My point is that he could not just get rid of the car as in sell it, destroy it, or report it stolen which could have brought attention to him. If so he would have to return it to the leased dealership probably in PA. Also, if he wanted to get rid of it, his parents would want a reason why, I would think. I wonder how long he has been at his parents home and when he would normally have to leave to return to WA, cause he still has an apartment there.

I apologize if this is a duplicate. Tried to reply to someone, using a phone and the page went wild reloading etc.

I work in the PA school system. Yes we provide fingerprints along with FBI background checks
