I had a former boss who was really bizarre and would always make weird comments or statements out of the blue. This person had a couple of road rage incidents, cut someone with a knife out of anger, made jokes about killing people, and infatuated with guns. HR ask us to report things like this, so myself and a couple of other co-workers reported it and they did nothing; other than talk to her about how inappropriate it was to make such comments. Needless to say, we all quit. You just never know what it will lead to.

I imagine everyone in the area was talking about the murders. I also imagine most students studying criminology talk about killers. That in itself means nothing at all.

I would take what these people are saying with a grain of salt.

It might seem silly, but seeing that wreath on the door makes me so sad.

[KcRose]

That is the definition of evil. My deepest sympathies to the families and loved ones. 🙏🏼💔

Sheesh, the knife sheath was laying next to one of the slain girls bodies. There is no way it would have been just laying in their bed previous to the murders. If the defense were to use that, it would be ridiculous.

[jgvp]

Every body is talking about it, why is it so strange.

4 people stabbed to death. Knife sheath found next to one of the victims. DNA on knife sheath was not one of the victims. To me there's no way that someone who left their DNA on a knife sheath at the crime scene of 4 people stabbed to death, has a legitimate excuse.

[Manny]

Most important question is why no one called police 😮

[sarahnanna]

As a Phd serving a life sentence, his education and life experience could become an opportunity of epoch proportions. Dear God bless the families and friends of the tragic victims. We’ll never forget.

[vanessablaney]

The knife sheath was literally left next to the body how does that not necessarily place him there at the time of the killing 🙄

[madjack]

Interesting, Bryan saying to the neighbor, it’s probably a crime of passion.

[googleuser]

The knife sheath found on the scene with his DNA screams Bryan was here, that is all the persecutors need to put this away.

[jancollins]

Did he admit to visiting the house previously?? If not, he's CAUGHT!!!

[christiehamilton]

I would guess that many people have talked about these murders....what is so groundbreaking that Bryan talked about it, too

[ssherrierable]

Thrill killers love it when their work is recognized

People continue to come forward and say Kohberger was nice but they tried to avoid him. His own father asked his neighbor in Pullman to please befriend his son. But no one really did, all of them citing over and over trivial reasons why they didn't like him. How they took extra steps to avoid him. Uninvite him to things. He was awkward. He talked too much. Thought too highly of his own opinion. No legitimate reason really. So a grown man becomes ostracized over trivialities. No sense of normalcy. Only company was his own work. I'm wondering if that's all he had and eventually, he started to become what was before him. A study of outcasts who turn to crime. When people are feeling alone and dark, therapists will say, go out, socialize. But what happens when no one will? When people rush down the hall to avoid making small talk? Who pretend to get sick in the bathroom hoping you will leave? Are murderers born or made? Is it possible that love, somewhere, would have changed the outcome for so many young lives, including his. Take someone in pain, deprive them of human connection, and the outcome is always the same, a lashing out towards society or towards its own soul. God bless the victims. God bless the human condition.

I wonder if he’s going to try to claim that he was in the house previously because he was dating one of the girls. As if they would spend time with him. That would be ridiculous, he is such a creep.

[otakutrash]

He was in the house at some point but not necessarily during the murders? Except its laying on the bed next to two of the victims, who were stabbed to death??? Would be quite a coincidence if they just happened to be stabbed to death AND the knife sheath just so happened to be on the bed.

[DarmokAtTanagra]

Another inconsistency with the police theory: Kohlberger's changing of the license plates on his Elantra days after the crime - OK. But then he doesn't clean the car until months later, in PA? Was he just supremely confident he didn't need to clean the car? Didn't think of it, but thought to change the license plates, to turn his phone off, etc? Totally possible, but more reasonable doubt..
