MOSCOW, IDAHO: Bryan Kohberger, 28, was studying forensics, DNA in criminal justice, and other evidential procedures on how to secure convictions to help prosecutors just two weeks before the quadruple murders.
According to Daily Mail, a former classmate said the 28-year-old criminal justice major had "enjoyed" learning how convictions were brought. Bryan was arrested on Saturday, December 31, for killing Ethan Chapin, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Madison Mogen, 21. Bryan is a PhD scholar in criminology at Washington State University.

His former classmate claimed earlier about his sleep cycle, "He was starting to show up really tired. He'd always have a cup of coffee in his hand, and he kind of looked like he was riding the knife edge between worn out and completely exhausted," reported The Seattle Times. Meanwhile, his neighbor in Pullman suggested, "I don’t know how he could’ve killed people because he doesn’t look that tough." Another neighbor stated, “It seemed like he never slept because he was always doing something all night,” reported New York Post. The neighbor added, “He’s normally a very late-night person, going to the bathroom and vacuuming at 1 or 12 in the morning. I have kids, so sometimes I thought of speaking to him or complaining, but never did. "
Enzo Yaksic, a criminal profiler and founder of the Atypical Homicide Research Group in Boston, has reportedly claimed that Kohberger intentionally chose to study crime and criminal minds. Yaksic said, “I suspect that Kohberger was well aware of his dark nature and homicidal ideation and endeavored to discover more about himself through his studies. But pursuing an advanced degree to become a better murderer is a foolhardy exercise as nothing more is learned about such tactics and strategies than can be found on a popular podcast or true crime book." “If Kohberger is an aspiring serial murderer who desired to commit the perfect murder, he quickly learned what many have discovered in the modern-age: it is far more difficult to get away with serial killing today than when Ted Bundy was active."
Another former FBI agent Jonathan T Gilliam has claimed, “I suspect we'll find out he was becoming satiated for a period of time learning from these criminals -- but once that wasn't doing it anymore, he took it from fantasy to real life. Quite often, a person evolves over time, and as their desires evolve, the only way they can get those things satiated evolves too. Every step of the way, he probably became a little bit more odd and a little bit more deviant," reported Daily Mail.
