And now the question becomes: Does the law agree?
In this deep-dive episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski sits down with former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis to unpack the legal claims, the duty-of-care standards, the foreseeability argument, and the staggering list of complaints that WSU allegedly received long before the killings.
Tony and Eric break down the core issues:
• What duty does a university have when a graduate student — and teaching assistant — has multiple formal complaints?
• Do warnings like “He’s a predator in the making” create legal exposure?
• Do stalking-adjacent behaviors — blocking doorways, following students — meet the threshold for negligent supervision?
• Does the fact that the murders occurred off-campus, in another state, change the legal calculus?
• Could WSU actually be found liable for failing to remove or restrict him?
• Or will the university argue: “We couldn’t have seen this coming”?
• And is this lawsuit partly about discovery — forcing WSU to release internal emails, HR files, and Title IX records?
Eric walks us through what plaintiffs need to prove, what defenses WSU will likely mount, and why this case could have massive implications for universities nationwide if a court allows it to move forward.
This is one of the most legally significant developments to emerge from the Moscow murders — and it could reshape university policies around reporting, supervision, and risk.
