Kohbergers sexist, creepy behavior alarmed university faculty and students before Idaho murders
Bryan Kohberger, sentenced to life in prison for the stabbing murders of four University of Idaho students, exhibited disturbing behavior during his time at Washington State University. Fellow students and faculty described him as sexist and creepy, with one faculty member warning that he might stalk or sexually abuse future students if he became a professor. Kohberger frequently blocked female students from exiting an office, prompting complaints and intervention from faculty. Reports indicate he made disparaging remarks about women and expressed interest in topics such as sexual burglary. In response to numerous complaints, the university implemented mandatory training for graduate students regarding appropriate behavior.
Just weeks after the murders, Kohberger made unsettling comments suggesting admiration for the perpetrator's skill. While many did not suspect him in the killings, his behavior raised serious concerns among faculty and peers. This case underscores the importance of addressing troubling conduct in academic environments to prevent potential violence.
