Idaho murder suspect’s creepy act in university class after homicides

The man charged with the slaying of four university students returned to his lessons after the murders, with one classmate revealing his chilling behaviour.

The Washington State University Ph.D. student charged in the Idaho slayings continued his studies after the murders — and was even present during a class discussion on the quadruple homicide, according to a classmate.

Accused killer Bryan Kohberger, who was normally a quiet student, seemed more animated after the November 13 killings of four University of Idaho students, except when they were the topic of conversation in one of his criminal justice classes, fellow student BK Norton, told the NY Post.

During that discussion, Kohberger, 28, chillingly remained “quiet and deadpan,” Norton recalled.

Norton said the class discussed just how “the murders had taken place and how it was crazy that they had no information, and that we hoped we were all safe.”

“I don’t believe he had any reaction,” Norton said of Kohberger. “We had quite a long conversation in class about it too. I don’t believe I remember him commenting about it at all.”

Norton, who shared four classes with the alleged murderer this past semester, was shocked when they learned about Kohberger’s arrest.

“Little did we know the murderer was among us,” Norton said.

“I’m still in shock! I didn’t think Bryan was capable of this.”

Ethan Chapin, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20 and Madison Mogen, 21, were all stabbed to death in the early hours of November 13. Two additional people were downstairs at the time of the attack but were unharmed.

Kohberger completed his first semester in the criminal justice program earlier this month, the university said Friday. Norton said Kohberger was bright and had a keen interest in forensic psychology.

Norton said they did not believe that Kohberger had decided what his doctorate dissertation would be about.

Kohberger was arrested early Friday morning at his parents’ home in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania — over 2500 miles (4000km) away from where the murders occurred in Moscow, Idaho.

He’s being held at the Monroe County Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania and will go before a judge for an extradition hearing on Tuesday, according to court records.

He faces four counts of first degree murder in the violent stabbing deaths of Ethan Chapin, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20 and Madison Mogen, 21.

Law enforcement officials from multiple agencies executed a search warrant at his on-campus housing at WSU on Friday.
