Kohberger Red Flags Ignored: "Mark My Words" How His Professor Warned Us!!
Kohberger Red Flags Ignored: "Mark My Words" How His Professor Warned Us!!
Red flags were waving around Bryan Kohberger long before November 2022. Professors warned he was “predator-like.” Classmates sensed his detachment. One even wrote that if he was ever given a PhD, we’d later hear about him harassing and assaulting. These weren’t hindsight observations. They were written before the murders.
In this segment, Jennifer Coffindaffer and I discuss those warnings — and why nothing could be done at the time. Creepy behavior doesn’t equal a crime. But in Kohberger’s case, the instincts were tragically accurate.
We also look at Kohberger’s application to work with Pullman Police, raising questions about whether he was trying to plant himself inside the system — to gather intel, access victims, or both. The “fox in the henhouse” comparison feels uncomfortably accurate.
Finally, we examine his family. The endless phone calls to “Mother” after the murders, contrasted with a father who once turned him in for theft but didn’t attend his sentencing. It’s a dynamic of closeness and estrangement, comfort and fracture.
This segment explores the scaffolding of Kohberger’s life: ignored warnings, strange ambitions, and family dynamics that reveal as much as they conceal.
