LIVE: Kohberger Lawsuit Against WSU — 13 Complaints Ignored Before Idaho Murders
Description
The families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin are suing Washington State University, and the allegations in the lawsuit are staggering. According to the 126-page complaint filed January 7th, 2026, at least 13 formal complaints were lodged against Bryan Kohberger during his single semester as a graduate teaching assistant. Women requested security escorts. Staff developed their own warning systems. A professor allegedly said if WSU gave Kohberger a PhD, they'd hear about him harassing and sexually abusing students later.
And an instructor reportedly worried that removing him could expose the university to a lawsuit. The families allege gross negligence, Title IX violations, and wrongful death—arguing the murders of their children were "foreseeable and preventable." Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, former prosecutor turned criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis breaks down the legal claims and what they mean. What does "deliberate indifference" require in court? Can the families prove the university knew the danger and chose to ignore it? What documents will emerge in discovery that WSU doesn't want the public to see? And could this lawsuit change how every university in America handles threat assessments? Eric Faddis joins us live for the full legal breakdown.
