A grad student who attended Washington State University with the suspected Idaho murderer, Bryan Kohberger, alleges that he treated female professors disrespectfully and made a female classmate uncomfortable with repeated advances.
According to ABC News, a grad student from Washington State University, where Kohberger attended prior to his arrest, said during an interview on ABC’s “The King Road Killings” that Kohberger not only flirted with a female student to the point of making her feel uneasy but also became angry over minor class issues.
“Kohberger’s face would turn bright red and he clenched his fists until his knuckles were white,” the student, who was in the same criminology program as Kohberger, said.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, Kohberger is facing charges for the murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. All four students were found stabbed dead in their off-campus rental near the University of Idaho in November 2022.
Police arrested Kohberger in December 2022 at his family’s home in Pennsylvania. He was extradited back to Idaho to face charges.
The grad student added that Kohberger’s “lack of respect for people’s boundaries” became apparent when repeatedly asked the female student out and kept “staring at her,” despite her rejecting his advances.
“Other students made a point of never leaving them alone together,” the grad student said.
Kohberger would also make the entire class uncomfortable by interrupting female professors and skipping out on their classes. He also kept his office door closed, the student said, when the policy was for the door to remain open during business hours.
Then, according to the student, Kohberger didn’t show up for class at all the day after the University of Idaho murders.
Meanwhile, Kohberger’s trial is set for October 2. He’s facing charges that include four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary, after allegedly breaking into the victims’ home to carry out the killings.
According to Inside Edition, Kohberger allegedly told a public defender that expect to be fully exonerated.
