GUILTY PLEA DEAL ACCEPTED - 4 Univ of Idaho Students Murdered, Bryan Kohberger Arrested, Moscow, Nov 2022 #115

[cottonweaver]

Some of you might remember when I posted that the penny just dropped for me when I read the WSU witness statement where BK tells a grad student that he wants to ' work with' K Ramsland?

I wondered whether that would include him physically meeting convicts ( ' sexual burglars' as per his euphemism) because he'd already shown an interest in his reddit Q at De Sales.
Also, in the recent FOIA documents from Idaho prison he tells the panel that eventually he wants to mix with other inmates and do ' productive work'

Going forward I hope no university or author is going to assist him in future research or in continuing a PhD!

She will absolutely work with him if he's eager.

Her own interviews show she's eager to do so.

It will make money and get them both the publicity they're interested in. They'll both be happy.

Meanwhile, four young people are dead.

MOO

I forgot to add to the post this question and it was too late to edit -

does anybody know whether inmates at Idaho Max Sec are directly allowed to correspond ( letter or email) with other convicts across the state or across the nation? Or would they need an intermediary to pass on correspondence?

I just loathe the idea that he went to WSU with the idea that he could communicate with some of his sick idols - as a research project - and now he might still have an opportunity. ( The kinds of people he was obsessively googling, in his search history. Also BTK etc )

I was a member of the Facebook group at that time. I remember someone posted another post made by PR, concerning a school board matter in Ohio. The thinking was, PR used that account to make the post by error, should have used their usual Facebook account. Also, Facebook admins would have location information as to the IP address of the PR account, I think. No need for law enforcement to lie to the public now about PR. IMO.

Good info. thanks @MeadowMuffin. I'm not on Fakebook and didn't spend a lot of time researching the PR info, but I appreciate your filling me in. I begrudgingly admit I was wrong here.

j/k about the begrudgingly part

His social circle is a pinhead. Few phone contacts. Mother, Father, Sister... Hours on the phone with Mother...

His only birthday cards appear to be from Mother and Sister. I don't know the birth order but "Bryem" sounds like the sort of pet name that sticks, started when a toddler tries to say an older sibling's name.

No wonder Father was trying to find a friend for the felon. 1. The felon didn't have any. And 2. IMO his family was exhausted.

I can't imagine their horror, having had talked to him daily and ad nauseum, probably hoping to be a stabilizing force for him, to realize that all that time he was planning, preparing, practicing ...

Frightening how casually he is evil.

What do we think of how he left his apartment? Did he plan to return? Was he in denial, didn't think they'd actually fire him? Was he expecting to return, still in the program, just happily reassigned OUT of TAing?

'Cause he's not getting his damage deposit back.

(I know, it's student housing, not a private rental, but still, that's not 'move out' ready.)

Freezer food will keep, much of his food looks to be shelf stable, but there's stuff in the fridge that wouldn't smell so good if he thought he was returning to it after Christmas.

Geez, he left it like he absconded in the dark of night.

I don't know why necessarily but I really expected it to be sparse but spotless. I never expected him to be SLOPPY. Maybe I should have.

I don't recall what date he left Pullman -- but the question remains for me -- was he or was he not intending to return?

(It appears that he was -- he left his pots and pans, his clothing, and his books behind. Father surely expected it was only a break -- boasting to the traffic cops about his successful son. Perhaps the felon continued to hold an inflated sense of himself, minimized the complaints against him and was confident he would prevail against the powers that be. Doubtful he thought he'd done anything wrong.)

Just what exactly was his plan?

He must have had one.

I think about it like this. Something shifted around the time his father flew out (12/12). They had to travel via car, and he did not want to be completely suspicious in front of him. My guess is he scrambled to figure out what would fit in the car and what he valued, if there was no return. They were back in Pennsylvania by 12/16.

Weirdly, it looks like he ran out of time. He might have ordinarily been neater. But his father said I am flying out at the first spot of trouble. I do not buy that there was a planned adventure home. I think the jig/gig was up. His parents knew he was getting tossed. They did not know the half of it. JMOO

One other thing, the amount of things that he purchased and purchased and purchased and purchased in like 4 months seems ridiculous and then have to practically run from the law. Equipment, computers, gas for driving in circles, excessive amounts of cleaners, hiking equipment, etc. I am sure he took loans and blew it all. Everything seems tangential.

Follow-up: I am reminded he stated that he was on topamax, and I am wondering about bipolar. This all seems very manic, if not compulsive.

 

[Megnut]

I can imagine him monopolizing phone calls to Mother, Father, Sister alternating between flights of social fantasy (pool party with friends, hiking with friends, commiserating with professors) and chronologies of collected grievances. Everyone around him, stupid.

IMO if his parents knew he bottomed out, I don't think his dad would have boasted about his success to the highway traffic cops. It would have been a sore subject. Very sore.

The questions for me are not whether his parents knew (I think decidedly they did not) but whether HE knew. On that, I can't decide.

Did he know/expect/suspect that he was going to lose his funding (collapsing the whole enterprise), or ego driven, still think he could outsmart, out-talk what for sure for him was bogus disciplinary action?

Was the letter a surprise to him?

Was the mess he left behind deliberate? accidental? incidental? otherwise?

Was it for the Father's benefit? To give the appearance of a vacation vs a move-out?

And when he did get that notice, was it a surprise for him? Did he plan to fight it? Did he tell his parents? And what possible reason could he give them? Mother, Father, I suck at humaning.

Was he going to live rent free in their basement? Maybe pretending to be an eccentric writer, eating his fave granola and churning out flowery rhetoric?

Failure to launch, boomerang Betty, calculated murderer.

Thumbs up selfie but an utter disgrace.

I hope every student who had the misfortune of studying under the felon has petitioned the university to re-evaluate any and all of their work. The felon was power-tripping. None of his grading should stand.

As a PhD student... I feel better about my own writing after reading his

He writes papers like he tries to talk himself out of traffic tickets. That instructor that wrote on his paper/quiz (paraphrasing): You have a good vocabulary but use too much verbiage.

And that one instructor who gave him an "80." That had to hurt for a guy who considers himself smarter than anyone else in the room. I'm guessing that instructor was female.

I have a theory about some TA's: they are reluctant to give someone else grades higher than they got.

Topamax is very commonly prescribed for migraines. I believe he mentioned it way back on the Tapatalk visual snow posts in terms of him taking it for migraines.

I have read about it, have friends on it for migraines, and know people who are bipolar who take it. I understand it to be for multiple issues. JMOO

Yet, I am merely considering aloud possible behaviors, motivations, actions, intentions, moods, etc. JMOO

<snipped for focus>

I think the father had bought a round-trip ticket when he flew from Idaho or Washington to PA in the summer after he drove across the country when BK started his doctoral program at WSU. And I am sure the trip back at Christmas-time during winter break was planned. This is usually a month-long break for doctoral students, and usually a time when they go home to be with family for this long break. Doctoral students, unlike most undergrads, often will take lots of books, computer, etc. with them as they will be doing some work during the month-long break (reading, taking notes, maybe completing research papers, etc.). It is very common, and I think that I have only ever known married doctoral students with children who may not have travelled during the winter/Christmas break. Everything is closed on campus, residence halls, dining halls, etc. Some services will stay open for undergrad international students, and sometimes there are inter-term offerings for undergrads for part of the break. That's how it is on most campuses in the U.S. at that time of year.

ETA And the father would have used his other half of the ticket for his flight back to the West coast to then drive across the country with BK for the winter/Christmas break.

@Sillybilly What is the protocol in terms of referring to one photo in a photodump where the url is a download of all 700? Post the link to the whole dump and then refer to it by photo # within the dump? Is it ok to post the link to the whole dump and then a screenshot of the individual photo you are referring to since you don't have a direct link to just the one photo?

 

[Megnut]

I wish that the license plate would have been readable. To satisfy my own curiosity, I wasn't to know if he took evasive measures to disguise his vehicle, something given him the false sense he'd rendered it invisible
Why else would he drive directly to his target? He had to know about residential cameras. Honestly, it's like he tried to commit "the perfect crime" in 1964, before advances in DNA and security. And not only did he fail to account for those, he apparently completely forget that digital forensics are the new DNA.

Devastating deadly weapon but as criminals go he was neither careful nor smart.

Yes, that's fine .. as long as the image is found somewhere in that source link.
