Bryan Kohberger Guilty of First Degree Murder; Faces Life Imprisonment Without Parole

The psycho known as Bryan Kohberger had his plea deal accepted.  He will spend the rest of his life in prison, with no parole or appeal possible.  His life is not worth a pile of horse poop at this point.  The firing squad, which he avoided, may have been preferable after all.

Bryan Kohberger

Why did he do it?  Kohberger has not said what his motivations were, and they are anyone's guess.  Here is mine:  BK admired serial killer Ted Bundy and sought to emulate his hero by committing a similar crime as the Chi Omega murders of 1978. He dressed like Bundy in black clothes and a face covering, and like Bundy, he preyed on college women (and one man) asleep in their college housing bedrooms.

Ted Bundy broke into a Chi Omega sorority house of the Florida State University and killed two sleeping female students with blows to the head with a wooden club.  He did this at 3 AM.  He had no motive, he just liked killing young women. Bundy then went down the street and broke into another house and attacked two more women, who survived.

Ted Bundy was convicted of murder and was executed in Florida in 1989.

Shocking Twist: Bryan Kohberger Takes Plea Deal in Idaho Student Murders

Bryan Kohberger, murder suspect in the killings of four students at University of Idaho, has agreed to plead guilty in a deal to avoid the death penalty.  The deal must be approved by the judge on Wednesday, and he may interrogate Kohberger on various legal questions before accepting the deal.  

The Motives of Serial Killers

 Online discussions about the motives of Bryan Kohberger, if he is indeed the killer of the four Idaho college students, are ongoing.  They say that the absence of a known motive is not enough to prevent a guilty verdict.  No motive regarding Kohberger has been described.  The absence  of a discernible motive didn't help Ted Bundy, who after his conviction on one murder, eventually confessed to over 30 murders of young women.  Why do serial killers murder innocent people that they do not even know?

It seems such people lack something in their brains, something that prevents any empathy for their victims.  That, plus a very sick sexual fantasy that gives them a high when they dispose of human lives.   Perhaps these murders are simply thrill killings.

Evidence Not Looking Good for Bryan Kohberger

The murder case of defendant Bryan Kohberger is set for trial in August of this year.  Kohberger is supected of murdering four college students in Moscow, Idaho on November 13, 2022, by stabbing them as they slept in their beds.

A few days ago, Dateline TV ran a documentary on the case, describing clues that point to Bryan Kohberger as the perpetrator.  We already knew about some of the strongest evidence:  a knife sheath left behind in the bed of one of the female victims; Kohberger's DNA was found on the metal snap of the sheath, and phone tower records showing Kohberger was in the near vicinity of the murder site, both before and after the murders.  His cell phone was turned off during the murders, however.  

Dateline showed video footage from a nearby home security cam, of a white Hyundai Elantra, like that owned by Kohberger, circling the murder site several times just before the murders, then speeding off just after them.  

Computer records show that after the murders, Kohberger did an Amazon search for a replacement sheath for his Kabar knife, though he did not buy one.  A selfie photo on Kohberger's telephone, taken the morning after the murders, shows Kohberger dressed in a white shirt, smiling and giving himeslf a thumbs up gesture as if he were proud of himself.

Bryan Kohberger was a PhD student in criminology at Washington State University, where he studied the crimes of serial killers and other criminals.  He was particularly interested in Ted Bundy, the serial killer executed in 1984.  Kohberger has beeen described by those who knew him as socially awkward and unpopular.

If he is found guilty, Bryan Kohberger faces the death penalty.
