Episode Details

Bryan Kohberger had participated in a law-enforcement vocational program while attending high school in Pennsylvania, but his involvement reportedly ended after he became the subject of an internal investigation. A former school administrator said Kohberger had initially been interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement and enrolled in the Monroe Career and Technical Institute’s protective-services program, which gave students exposure to policing and related fields. According to the administrator, however, an incident occurred that resulted in Kohberger being investigated and ultimately removed from the program. The precise details of what happened were not publicly disclosed because Kohberger had been a minor at the time, but the administrator confirmed that the matter had been serious enough to end his participation in the law-enforcement track.

After being removed from the program, Kohberger reportedly switched his focus to heating, ventilation and air-conditioning studies before later returning to an academic interest in criminal justice and criminology. The revelation became notable after his arrest for the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin because it showed that Kohberger’s fascination with law enforcement and criminal behavior had stretched back to his teenage years, while also revealing that his earliest attempt to enter a police-oriented training environment had ended under questionable circumstances. Because school officials were restricted from discussing the underlying juvenile matter, the specific conduct that prompted the investigation remained unclear, leaving another unresolved piece of Kohberger’s background from years before the Moscow murders.
