Crime Person Of Interest in Idaho Homicides Arrested in Pennsylvania Near Pocono Mountains - It's a redditor who posted on r/ExCon

A man has been taken into custody near the Pocono Mountains in connection with the homicide of four University of Idaho students.

Bryan Kohberger, 28, is the person of interest in custody in Monroe County, Pa., sources confirm to NBC10's Deanna Durante and Brian Sheehan.

Further circumstances regarding the nature of the arrest and the suspect's capture are not yet known. Kohberger appeared in front of a Monroe County judge around 8:30 a.m. Friday, sources tell NBC10.

The Nov. 13 killings of the four students -- Madison Mogan, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin -- left their community of Moscow, Idaho in shock and garnered attention nationwide.

Police say the four were stabbed to death in an off-campus house rented by the three female students in the middle of the night, some with wounds that suggest they fought back against their attacker. The investigation to this point has largely come up empty. Two roommates on the first floor who police say slept through the attack have already been ruled out as suspects.

A press conference is scheduled in Moscow, Idaho at 4 p.m. ET.

This guy likes to run his theories and his mouth at the press a lot. Something off about him. Not saying he's in cahoots or whatever. Just odd.

Which is why I laugh at those kinds of people who still worship Ted Kaczynski and think he's some kind of criminal super-genius - who got caught because his vanity demanded the biggest paper in the nation publish his motive rant - a rant about technology that any 10th grader with one topical psychology book under his belt and a few viewings of Blade Runner could've written just as easily.

Yeah, he was a genius- at math.

But he failed at literally everything else in life, couldn't hold a job, alienated his parents and brother for trying to help him out, lived in his own filth in a cabin that didn't have running water and at the end of the day, the supposed master of human psychology thought the world could be rewound 2,000 years by sending a mail bomb to a computer store owner, a timber lobbyist and, for good measure, causing a random jetliner to crash?

Dunning-Kruger indeed. A smart person who concludes homicide is a good idea only proves they aren't really smart.

Must drive them nuts that homeless druggies can get away with murder, literally without trying.

Quoting from my full comment here.

...As the name implies I am theorizing there is a spiritual successor to MKULTRA. I am assuming if you are here you can refer to any of the myriad posts already covering it. I'm going to have to cover a lot already. The important takeaway is that Henry Murray was directly involved. The very same that experimented on a young Ted Kaczynski. While there is some dispute about these experiments effecting Ted, the fact that he almost got a sex change is undisputed. If it is so apparent to me from these facts alone that "breaking" a person can often incidentally involve "breaking" their perception of gender, and that stimulating one may stimulate the other, surely someone in the intelligence apparatus had the same thought...

It's important to remember the above happened to a very young TK who might have started socially average, or maybe even a bit behind, as intelligent as he was. Despite that filth and lack of amenities it was still a small miracle he was as functional/independent as he managed to be. As simple as his message was and as horrible as his methods were, it got published. Understanding Ted is as simple as understanding the difference between Pan-Pan and Mayday. Pan-Pan is easy to remember as there is still an actionable plan for whatever dire situation you face. Mayday indicates the plan did not work and the bad thing is happening.

In the other threads, I theorized that it was a serial killer.

I was wrong. Looks like it was just a headcase Jewish nutjob.

One girl said in an interview that he was always nice....to her. Others say he is weird, odd, quiet, etc.

 

[pisswomble]

One thing I'm not sure I'm getting right about this case. He was a PhD criminology student, supposedly highly intelligent, but used his own car to commit the 'perfect' murder?

Even stupid career criminals who do shitty armed robberies for peanuts know not to do stuff in their own cars.

Not to drag this thread into a discussion over him, but, suffice it to say - I'm less than impressed with both him and this defense.

His life is one squandered, not miraculously maintained against odds, and that's all I'll say going forward.

Any "but he..." to me doesn't change the fact he spent the rest of his life in Supermax for killing complete strangers, with bombs, the ultimate coward's weapon, based on a fractured ethos that while you can understand where it came from doesn't make it right, just or impressive, at all.

In case you haven't noticed? I do have a bit of seething hatred for the guy I can't explain, so I'm predisposed to not want to hear any excuses.

Subconsciously he wanted to be caught. I think a lot of these multi-murder people do.

A Ph.D. doesn't mean what it used to. And he wasn't even to the finish line.

I saw an interview with him on CBS and he was wearing a hat featuring the HEX crypto company. Your daughter gets murdered and you get sponsored by a crypto company to shill for them while you do TV interviews about said dead daughter. What?

Some people are just crass, classless morons. Best case scenario that's all he is.

There may be one extra layer to this. With HEX in particular, it's got a tight community, so part of the shill-hat may have been in-group signaling in the same way someone else may wear a cross necklace.

Idaho student's dad reportedly sees link between slain daughter, Bryan Kohberger​

Steve Goncalves — father of murdered Idaho student, Kaylee Goncalves — reportedly said he was beginning to see links between Bryan Kohberger and his daughter.

The man suspected of killing four University of Idaho students reportedly had a connection to one of them.

Steve Goncalves, father of 21-year-old Kaylee Goncalves, said he was beginning to see links between Bryan Kohberger, 28, and his daughter, according to ABC News.

He said he wasn’t ready yet to discuss the connections, and said no one in his family recognized the suspect.

“Now that there’s a person and a name that someone can specifically look for and see if there’s any connections in any way. So they’re just trying to figure it out,” the family’s attorney, Shanon Grey, told ABC News.

Goncalves vowed to be in court when Kohberger is returned to Idaho to face murders charges in the Nov. 13 deaths of Kaylee, and Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20.

“This guy’s gonna have to look me in my eyes multiples times, and I’m going to be looking for the truth. That’s really what I’m going to be looking for,” Steve Goncalves said.

Kohberger, who was arrested Friday in Pennsylvania, was attending a graduate program at Washington State University about 10 miles away from the University of Idaho campus.

There's an account speculated to belong to the killer that was following some of the victims on Instagram, but there hasn't been any official confirmation. He might be referring to that.

Wow thanks for sharing that video. Just saw the hat and knew it felt fishy. What a crazy scam.

You'd be amazed how many people do stupid shit like that, even those dumb shit career criminals you mention. The ones you mention usually only know that because they got arrested for doing it before.

The father is the biggest noisemaker but the whole Goncalves family was yakking the press before Kaylee's body was even cold. They seem very weird and media-hungry. From what I can tell they're largely the reason Kaylee is popularly believed to have been the primary target, although as far as I can tell there's no real evidence of this. (Full disclosure, I posted in the other thread that I thought the killer was likely Kaylee's ex-boyfriend, so it's not like I knew any better.)

FWIW, "InsideLooking" was constantly commenting on Reddit that Maddie and Xana (who worked together at a local restaurant) were the targets, with Kaylee and Ethan being collateral damage.

A Ph.D. doesn't mean what it used to. And he wasn't even to the finish line.

Genz writes this off as boomer bullshit, but you're 100% right and its easily provable. The fuck if id want to get a PhD back in the day. The same amount of research was expected of you, in terms of your thesis, but you didn't have 1/10th the resources that are currently available. You had the fucking library. Good luck finding the book you're even looking for, if it was checked out that day or not.

Even with older computers; Today we have, templates, internet archives, citations that are created by generators, proof reading applications; endless resources to make the perfect paper.

I hold this same view on math before calculators/computers lol.

Subconsciously he wanted to be caught. I think a lot of these multi-murder people do.

Nah, this guy was an ex heroin junkie with a new narcissistic look on life (after recovery and masters degree). Any patient ive worked with that has had years of abuse but eventually recovered, had varying/severe issues with logic, impulse control, anger, and common sense. This dude may have even been book smart, but he also clearly was insecure af about his decision making skills/past/current brain capacity. Its why everyone, that's known him through work, has said that "he had to make it known to you that he was smart". That doesn't actually mean the bitch was smart; i can spend half my day learning quantum physics and start spouting it to my coworkers like im some fucking hawking reincarnate. I'm not seeing a whole lot of that from his HS acquaintances (just that he was an angry feller that couldn't get a lady to suck on his knob).

He actually convinced himself he was smart enough to pull off the "perfect murder", and proceeded to use his heroin riddled junkie bitch brain to plan out the worst premeditated quadruple homicide this country has seen in a long while. This dude is a murder lolcow. I'm not surprised he gave himself the stamp of approval, proceeded to drive his own car miles down the road to end his future.

His brain is mush, mixed with kail. Vegans are not to be trusted.

 

[Iron Jaguar]

I saw on /pol/ that he's a vegan. Please, please be true.

This is why you should only kill hookers and teenage runaways. Nobody cares about them.

Or be rich enough that you can kill and rape your 6 year old daughter on Christmas, write a fake ransom note, and get away with it.

I don't kill hookers or runaways. I've never killed anyone. But if I did, it would be homeless hookers.
