An arrest was made Friday in the case of four murdered college students in Idaho. The suspect in the case was a grad student named Bryan Kohberger who attended a school just across the border in Washington from where the killing took place. Police tracked Kohberger as he drove across the country and then arrested him.
Authorities carefully tracked the man charged in the killings of four Idaho college students as he drove across the country around Christmas and continued surveilling him for several days before finally arresting him Friday, sources tell CNN… Authorities carefully tracked the man charged in the killings of four Idaho college students

I found it interesting that the man was bullied while in sxhool.
If the devil has perfected one thing, it is the encourging of bullying. It is pure evil.
I have seen it all the way up through my doctoral students. And I have seen females use it much more viciously than male practitoners.
Do not misunderstand me. I hate the killers among us. I just wish there was a way to handle the bullies more effectively.
The late Mrs. Lakerman number one was an elementary teacher. One of her 10 year old boy students was being mocked by one particularly nasty boy bully, accusing the victim of having head lice.Her solution was quick, clever, and effective.
She had the school nurse grab the bully pull him out of the lunch line, and in front of all of the other students, the school nurse did a head lice examination on him. Not a word was spoken.
And the bully stopped his bullying.

Those who don’t read the article will miss this:
The Lehigh Valley News, a nonprofit online news site in Pennsylvania, reported that Kohberger was a student of DeSales forensic psychology Professor Katherine Ramsland, an expert on serial killers who has written dozens of books, including “How to Catch a Killer” and “The Mind of a Murderer.” She also has consulted with several TV shows focused on crime, including CSI, according to her online university biography. She wrote “Confessions of a Serial Killer,” a biography of Dennis Lynn Rader, who tortured and murdered 10 people, including a family of four in Wichita, Kansas, in 1974. Rader wasn’t arrested until 2004. The book was published in 2016.

Re #1, I didn’t read tha he was bullied. Rather, he was antisocial and very critical of friends and classmates, constantly demeaning them verbally. He was also fat. And became addicted to heroin while in high school. Later lost weight to an exteme thinness, became a vegan. Was an odd guy.

I somehow missed the bullying part, but it is in the latter part of this article. Sounds as though it was primarily done by girls. Also in the end orf the article is the Goncalves girl’s father mentioning there may have been some kind of connection between this guy and his daughter - a recall of his name, not his appearance - but they are not ready to talk about it.
Once he has been in court, this story will begin to peel like an onion...

He put out a bizarre survey on reddit about what it was like to commit crimes. From all the stuff i heard it almost seems this guy did this crime as part of his PhD thesis, an experiment in support of his education.

Or, re #6, he was gathering tips from imprisoned felons that would give him a guidebook for perpetrating a crime and getting away with it. See the info on the professor he followed who wrote a book on a mass killer who got away with it fo decades. Her book would have been published when he was a teenager.

Correction: His professor’s book was published only 6 years ago. It may have been inspirational?

I certainly hope that most criminal justice students go into that field to find justice for victims.
But clearly there are those who go into it to understand themselves and get tips on murder.
Kind of like the fact that most people I know who went into counseling were looking for their own answers, and they were not stable rational individuals who wanted to help troubled souls.

There is a long-standing belief that the people who study human behavior and psychology have mental problems themselves. It may be true for some. This guy was obviously a time bomb and something about the four victims triggered him. Leftists have not yet labeled him with their usual expert evaluations but give them time. The police would have tracked him back to Pennsylvania through highway cameras and credit card fuel purchases and motel rooms so he was not as clever as he thought he was. As usual, they were accused of not doing enough and being incompetent when they were doing exactly what had to be done to nail him. His lawyer seems to be full of bravado but I'm thinking the evidence will be overwhelming. A local jury will be a factor.

My guess is the psychopath was rejected by one or more of the victims, perhaps very recently, and the others killed to eliminate witnesses. Obsessive fascination with his crimes is common among psychopaths, Souvenirs, returning to the crime scene, volunteering to help with the search for missing victims, and in his case a morbid fascination with psychopathic behavior. I hope the DNA will be enough to put him in a cage.
