ID - 4 University of Idaho Students Murdered - Moscow # 41 *ARREST*

[MassGuy]

I wonder if this case was in any class discussion and if so, what the participation was like?

Lol. He may have been leading it as an assistant or something. That would be fascinating.

 

[juliasalmons]

He must have a really good game face if his entire family works in mental health per this article and no one had a clue. He almost seems to have different personalities. Reminds me a bit of Russel Williams.

Bryan Kohberger: the OCD libertarian vegan who 'looked drugged'

Bryan Kohberger is in custody on charges of homicide for the Idaho killings. Relatives say he had 'obsessive' eating habits that went 'above and beyond' being vegan.

I wonder if he was on anti psychotics or something similar, that caused the personality change and weight loss.

Anti-psychotics mostly cause weight gain.

 

[skoogmagoo]

I wonder if that’s why the pup was spared. Not important, just curious…

I would think that once you cut into the body of a human, you just might become a vegan after that. Just my opinion but I don't think this was his first kill.

He has a public defender:
"Records show Kohberger was arraigned Friday morning in Pennsylvania, and he has a court hearing on extradition January 3. Thompson said the suspect is being held without bail, and he is being represented while in Pennsylvania by a public defender."

A graduate student at Washington State University was arrested Friday in his home state of Pennsylvania in last month's killings of four University of Idaho students in their off-campus home -- a brutal attack that rattled a small college town, authorities said.

Yes I heard them say that at the press conference but it doesn't mean that having a PD precludes BK from speaking to his interrogators. PD takes instructions from his client

I think he probably used some truths like he was a grad student but it was not through the university channels of approval nor did they know he had th the survey. I most research from universities requires participants to sign disclosure statements prior to doing a survey and graduate professors are also inventoried. I don’t think this was a legitimate survey and that he was using it to for other reasons or he was unaware of the research procedures at the school.

@mms9900
Thanks for raising the point about (usually required) disclosures,etc.
Yes, likely imo BK was using survey for "other reasons."

I’d be interested to hear from other students

You didn't see the report that he asked LE (when he was arrested) "Did you arrest anyone else?"

That is, so far, his only public utterance. Why would he ask that? I figure he might have been afraid that his parents would be arrested, is my null hypothesis right now. And maybe they did. And maybe they will be charged. We don't know. But BK is the one who put the idea in everybody's heads.

The other people involved do NOT have to have helped commit the murder. Maybe someone drove the Elantra that night. Maybe his parents knew he was the killer and harbored him. We do not know.

I am definitely speculating, but I think his question was intriguing (my guess is still that he worries that he has compromised his parents or other family members). Weird thing to ask, don't you think?

It could also just as easily mean that he is already attempting to play mind games with LE by sending them on a wild goose chase hunting for an accomplice that doesn't even exist.

I wouldn't believe a single word that comes out of his mouth!!!!

The ones with the ex-aunt describing schizophrenic orthorexia without realizing she’s doing it? Yea.

I had to look up schizophrenic orthorexia. I saw the article where the former aunt talked about extreme vegan. I also saw a couple articles where high school friends said he was overweight and bullied, but "easy-going," and then one summer he had some sort of break: lost a lot of weight, took up boxing, became aggressive and bullying. I wonder if the weight loss was connected to a mental break of some sort?

True. Obviously his attorney would tell him to keep his mouth shut, but that doesn’t mean it happened. His DNA has no business being at that scene, so maybe he was smart enough to know he was done, and he wanted credit.

 

[TIGER0822]

To me the person behind the student in the white jacket in the food truck video looks very similar to him. Booking pic. for comparison.

'I believe the uber driver said it was mac and cheese - a specialty of the house at Grub Truck.

It was not a ramen place, IMO.

Seriously, we all watched the surveillance video at the Grub Truck when KG ordered the C A R B O N A R A (slurred word) pasta!

Carbonara is an Italian pasta dish from Rome made with eggs, hard cheese, cured pork and black pepper. The dish arrived at its modern form, with its current name, in the middle of the 20th century. The cheese is usually Pecorino Romano, Parmigiano-Reggiano, or a combination of the two. Wikipedia

We’ve been hearing anecdotes faster than I have in most other cases. It’s coming.

Anti-psychotics mostly cause weight gain.

Yep, most are known for weight gain.

 

[eclecticcowboy]

What if he had a research project carry out the crime so he could document the psychological/emotional aspects of it? The plea for more info by the MPD today makes me think there could be someone else.

am hoping that his arrogance and a top notch FBI interrogator can work their magic over the next few days

 

[10ofRods]

who thinks BK has already lawyered up & is ' No Comment' to all questions?

or who thinks that FBI's finest are already building up a rapport with him?

Well - he's been assigned a lawyer, so of course he has. That's the way our system works. He's entitled to legal representation.

However, it is the weekend. So his lawyer won't be holding his hand all weekend long. That's why arrests occur on Felony Fridays.

Thanks for the reminder about the Jack in the Box bag. I still find it kinda odd.
MOO: JITB is not probably worth a 15 minute drive

It's not the only thing in Pullman. Just saying. Moscow, ID has very little fast food. Pullman has fast food and other things on offer.

And at my uni, JITB was considered cheap awesome food for munchies. $1.29 for two tacos? Wow. (It was way less back in my day - but it's still a bargain and going through the drive-through (if there's still a Jack to talk to) is fun. College students like drives, drive-throughs, cheap food and giggles in the car. JITB knows this.

Public defender?
This may indicate that his family is not supporting him.

This is a much better theory than the pancetta in the carbonara sending him off the deep end.

 

[juliasalmons]

Not defending BK at all but when I was doing research papers in college, I frequently used instagram polls and google forms to collect data, if I knew more about reddit at the time, I probably would have used that as well. I don't think its thaaaaaaaaat crazy that he did this in his line of study, hindsight is 20/20 though.

 

[lucidium]

He must have a really good game face if his entire family works in mental health per this article and no one had a clue. He almost seems to have different personalities. Reminds me a bit of Russel Williams.

For all we know, someone in his family alerted LE. Probably not, but the reality is we do not know at this stage.
