Who is Jack Baylis? Bryan Kohberger’s ex-friend reveals Idaho murder suspect was ‘frustrated’ with women ghosting him
MOSCOW, IDAHO: Jack Baylis, the former friend of Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger has come forward to reveal his ‘frustrated’ behavior towards women.
Baylis also claimed that Kohberger's behavior before the horrifying University of Idaho killings was suspicious and suggested that he had a motive to perpetrate such a horrific act.
The 28-year-old Washington State University crimnology student currently stands accused of murdering Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, in their off-campus apartment on November 13, 2022.
Kohberger was arrested from his parent’s house in December and was later charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary.
His trial was scheduled to begin on October 2, but was postponed after he waived his right to a speedy trial.
What does Jack Baylis say about Bryan Kohberger?
As the wait for Kohberger’s trial continues, Nancy Grace has come up with her new FOX Nation special, 'Bryan Kohberger: I Am Blank,' which focuses on the psychology of the alleged killer.
Reflecting on Kohberger’s trial, Baylis claimed that he and the alleged killer often talked about women on dating apps, who would "ghost" them after a brief conversation, according to The Sun.
He stated this behavior "frustrated" them but Kohberger's feelings went beyond simple annoyance.
Additionally, the FOX Nation special revealed that Kohberger would text his friend, saying that he had been "depressed" for so long that he had "developed a weird sense of meaning."
Baylis further told Grace that Kohberger would get "aggressive" when drunk, and his friends were forced to hide his car keys at that time.
Additionally, the friend suggested that the alleged killer would do "other sketchy drugs." Previously, it was reported that Kohberger had a history with drugs before pursuing his criminal justice degree.
He also faced charges in 2014 for trying to sell his sister’s iPhone, allegedly while abusing heroin at just 19 years old.
Despite the revelations, Grace told 'America’s Newsroom' that any alleged alcohol or drug use would likely not be used as a defense in his trial.
Was Bryan Kohberger a bully?
Other childhood friends of Kohberger previously spoke about the "bizarre" behavior that he allegedly showed in high school.
Speaking to 48 Hours, Casey Arntz and Bree revealed that after being overweight for the first three years of high school, he lost nearly 100 pounds and became a bully.
"When Bryan would get kinda angry with him [Arntz's brother], he would gaslight him and get physically aggressive," claimed Arntz.
She stated that Kohberger became violent towards her brother after he started using drugs, specifically heroin.
"You just saw him becoming more self-destructive ... He really stayed secluded," she claimed.
"People were not his strong suit," said Bree, adding "And I think through his criminology studies, he was really trying to understand humans and trying and understand himself."
