Newly unsealed interviews and documents reveal a disturbing picture of Bryan Kohberger during his time as a doctoral student at Washington State University. Between August and November 2022, students and faculty filed at least 13 formal complaints against Kohberger, citing repeated patterns of intimidation, offensive remarks, and troubling behavior that left many women in the program feeling unsafe.
Classmates reported him making misogynistic, homophobic, and ableist comments—including asking a deaf student if she should even “procreate,” telling a divorced woman she was “broken,” and speaking down to female professors. Others described him blocking office doorways so women couldn’t leave, hovering uncomfortably close, and targeting a 19-year-old undergraduate who had to be escorted home after his unwanted attention escalated. Faculty even warned that if he ever became a professor, he would likely stalk or S-A students. Some reported a possible stalking incident and a break-in where personal items were stolen.
On November 8, 2022, WSU required his entire doctoral cohort to attend mandatory discrimination training in response to these issues. Just days later, four students were murdered in nearby Moscow, Idaho. When Kohberger returned to class after Thanksgiving break, peers noticed bruised and bloody knuckles, scratches described as “cat-like” cuts, and a bandage on his ring finger. He wore a puffy jacket, as though hiding more injuries. Classmates recalled his disheveled appearance, avoidance of murder discussions, and chilling comments that the killer “must have been pretty good” and it may have been “one and done.”
These accounts, paired with what investigators say happened inside the King Road house, leave a haunting question: how many red flags were raised before tragedy struck?
In this video, we break down every complaint, every disturbing detail, and what those who knew Kohberger noticed in the days after the killings.
