University of Idaho murder case takes bizarre twist thanks to Reddit post allegedly written by suspect

After an intensive search, law enforcement has finally taken a suspect in the murder of four University of Idaho students.

The suspect has been identified as Bryan Christopher Kohberger, and he was arrested in Pennsylvania, in the Poconos.

Here’s hoping that police have the right man in custody — and that, if he is indeed guilty of committing these heinous murders, Kohberger will face justice.

For what it’s worth, Kohberger has reportedly exhibited some bizarre, arguably disturbing behavior since being taken into custody:

And it should come as no surprise to you that Kohberger apparently has a pattern of odd, arguably disturbing behavior.

Except Bryan Kohberger is not just any graduate student, but a graduate student in criminal justice:

And, if you can believe it, it’s about to get even weirder:

“Research Participation Needed.” Just looking for some people to participate in some research, guys.

Talk about things taking a turn. Holy moly.

“Uhhhhhh…” is exactly right. If the Bryan Kohberger who wrote that Reddit post is in fact the same Bryan Kohberger who was just arrested in connection with a quadruple homicide, then … wow. What happened, exactly? Did Kohberger not get a satisfactory number of responses from criminals to his inquiry? Was he just not impressed with the quality of the responses? Did he decide that he could just save himself a lot of time and effort by going out and committing a crime himself? After all, what better way to understand how emotions and psychological traits influence decision-making when committing a crime than to go out and commit a crime? And what better crime to go out and commit than murder?

That’s really how it’s looking, yes.

Granted, the Reddit post isn’t quite as damning as, say, a Facebook post or TikTok video talking about how you’re going to go shoot up a school (you know, the sorts of stuff that law enforcement often gets alerted to and chooses to ignore until someone actually does go out and shoot up a school and then it’s “Gosh, we had no clue that something like this could happen! If only someone had brought this person to our attention earlier!), but still. Looking back at the post in light of Kohberger’s arrest, it’s hard not to feel like maybe there might have been other clues that something about this guy was just really, really off.

“Diabolical” is such a great descriptor. Seriously, what the hell? Did a future quadruple-murderer really go on Reddit less than a year ago to ask for input from criminals on what motivated them to commit their crimes? This is honestly just so insane. On so many levels.

Or it would’ve been … fortunately Kohberger, if he’s the murderer, probably won’t get a chance to do it. And what a tremendous loss for criminal justice scholarship that will be.

“Bryan Kohberger is not just any graduate student, but a graduate student in criminal justice”

I keep hearing how smart this guy is with his college eduard all but he wasn’t smart enough to get rid of the white car that’s been in the news for weeks......not only that he had it parked in front of his apartment.

I guess common sense ain’t so common anymore.....thankfully this time anyway.

It’s also not like Criminal Justice is a PhD in Nuclear Engineering.

The story is going to be that Kohberger is a ANTIA and was offended by his victim’s wealth.

Each of the victims came from wealthy families and the kids flaunted their wealth.

It appears that one of the kids drove a Range Rover and one had access to a ski boat on Lake Coeur d’Alene.

I would want to contact every participant in his ‘research’, to make sure they are real, and not involved.

I’m going to wait and see.

I think our justice system is fully capable of finding a flawed individual in some far away place and just saying, “He did it” and then have all the sheeple nod and say “Glad you caught that guy. He’s messed up.”

Maybe he really is the guy. Maybe Lee Harvey Oswald is the guy. I’m just saying that sometimes “the guy” isn’t actually the guy.

Bryan Kohberger also looks like Warren Jeffs. And not just vaguely, but like he might be related.

= = =

‘He is innocent, why ditch the car, it is a red herring ....’

Ditching it is a sign of guilt; maybe smart to keep it.

Or really dumb.

I am awaiting his defense. Could be a slam dunk, or drug out for years.

I hope not. If so, it would be by him or by his defense team.

To cast doubt on the evidence and investigation as sloppy.

That’s certain. Every Psych major chick I have met was crazy.
Pretty and “fun”, but crazy.

I got a kick out of the part where he says that those who weren’t convicted could also take part (anonymously).

I’ll bet those testimonials were of special interest ...
