on.....this Kohberger dude who slashed up those 4 U. of Idaho kids. Talk about bizzaro and to think there are many more like him walking among us every day. He was on a PhD path in criminology at Washington State only a few miles over the Idaho/Washington border. He made so many mistakes in his crime, it sort of makes WSU Criminology Dept. look a little weak. Like most who have been following this, I would have liked to have known his motive. Why? He looks like an average student who is following a solid career path not far away from graduating, Do you think he crossed paths with those 3 cute babes out clubbin' somewhere and tried to hit on them .....and they spurned him, royally pissing him off? I guess we'll never know until he writes his "OJ" style story in a book while in prison.

I think he was trying to commit the perfect crime. I think that was his goal the whole time. Including getting a PhD in Criminology. His goal was to commit a high profile crime that would never be solved. His mistake was leaving the knife sheath behind. Without that DNA evidence I don't think they could have ever placed him in the house.

Did we ever find out how he decided that house?

I remember one of the roommates saying she heard someone say something like “shhh - I’m here to help”. Pretty creepy

Such an odd guy. I think his issue was sexual, as in, he's never been laid.

Some girl along his life path should have just taken one for he team....maybe he would have never had the urge to shank 3 of them to death....along with the dude that happened to be there with them

I’ve read several books by John Douglas , who founded the FBI Behavioral Science Unit. He’s stated that even knowing what he knows, if he committed a crime like that he’d leave clues behind. You just can’t help it.

Behavioral Science Unit? Is he portrayed in Mind Hunters?

This is it. He thought he was smarter than everyone else and wanted to prove it. He went and interviewed another famous serial killer - was it Green River? - to figure out his mistakes. He just didn't plan to leave the sheath that had a speck of his DNA on it.

He thought he was smart to turn off his cell phone before he went to their house, but somehow he wasn't smart enough to leave it at home and turned it back on right after he left so they could still track him going by multiple times. He also forgot they'd get him on neighborhood and gas station cameras.

He is one of those guys who thinks he's a lot smarter than he actually is. Hopefully Idaho does the right thing when it comes to sentencing and doesn't give him life in prison on the taxpayer dime.

Late July ship down here to MS. I'll say Choctaw county just for the sake of argument. Strip in can't get laid *** buck *** naked and march him into a cow pasture. Find the biggest damn fire ant hill you can find, stake him two ft from it, pour a bottle of honey over him, kick the fire ant hill over, and enjoy the show.

Hard to figure out why mentally ill people do things. If you recall Stephen McDaniel, he killed a girl and found out while being interviewed for a news program that her body had been found and freaked out in air. Was a law student or something similar.

Unfortunately his plea gives him life in prison. I was looking forward to him being the first recipient of the reinstated death by firing squad.

He must not have learned much then - it was far from perfect. He took his own car in the wee hours of the morning; he carried his cell phone with him; he had a record of some "interesting" purchases locally and from Amazon; the list goes on.

The plea deal never should have happened. He should have stood trial and been required to tell what his motives and thinking were. I suspect the girls had "denied " him at some point and he was seeking revenge, or what he thought in his sick mind was justice. He may not have been planning to kill them all, but perhaps some got in the way and he was "compelled" to kill them too.

Spooky guy. He just looks dangerous - like he's wearing a Halloween mask. A bit reminiscent of Anthony Hopkins in "Silence of the Lambs". He's that sort of crazy.

Saw John Douglas speak at Wake Forest many years ago. Fascinating.
