Do you have a source you can share for that assertion?
Agreed, @Rolypolyoly !Right? I've said to myself more than once recently that if the perps had just read some threads in here first they might not have made it so easy to nail them. Certainly these idiots spring to mind for starters, Brian Walshe, Steve Capaldi, Letecia Stauch to name a few, they certainly didn't come here for tips
Thank you, @North_Idaho_Nony !

Speculation post!
Totally agree. To add, generally speaking a killer doesn’t wake up one morning and decide to kill. The killer has already been planning and thinking about it way before actually committing the murder.
I think BK is a manipulative type person and will play into mind games to get what he wants. Playing the “super” guy because that’s the only way he is able to connect with females... tries to exploit them.
In addition, BK was taking online classes so he could have been anywhere in March 2022. Previously, I was ready to disregard the car/underwear incident as a college friend's prank, however, it does align with this case, maybe. Curious if LE swabbed the underwear found in the cup holder for DNA? Doubtful? It would have been interesting to know if it belonged to BK. We most likely will never know.
All in my opinion only!
Bryan Kohberger allegedly broke into female student’s home and spied on her months before Idaho murders
Months later, Mr Kohberger is accused of breaking into an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho, and stabbing to death Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapinnews.yahoo.com
Former FBI profiler Greg Cooper told Dateline that the incident was a “step in progression” for Mr Kohberger to move from breaking into a home when no one was in to allegedly breaking in when multiple people were home at the King Road address that deadly night in November.
“I would expect that he orchestrated the whole thing, he was not looking at her as a potential victim necessarily,” said Mr Cooper.
Interesting. It's not clear to me though if
Back in the day (what seems like forever now) when I was compiling a timeline I combed through the WSU and Pullman (looking for students preparing to move) SubReddits and a few other WSU forums to see if there was any consensus or cluster of time when doctoral students were accepted...
Good to know. Maybe students for the doctoral CJ program apply and are accepted early. I see the general grad school priority deadline for fall is January 10. And I don't see the CJ Dept has an earlier deadline than the general one (although they could per the grad school.) Numbers applying in various disciplines vary widely but I didn't think many doctoral programs did "rolling" admissions. But if not many apply, and in-person interviews aren't required prior to admission, then I guess a new "class" of CJ doctoral students could be admitted by early Feb. (I'm more used to PSY and so far as I know, super-early admissions don't happen there although deadlines tend to be in Dec.)
No such requirement at the four universities where I've worked. And paying an applicant's fare and hotel would be rare indeed in any CJ program. It's rare for most programs, especially at a state school, for a non-stellar admitted applicant in a program without large grants.
BK was so bad at committing a stranger home invasion murder that he left a lot of evidence allowing him to be arrested and charged. So I'm of the opinion that he wasn't a practiced criminal, although I'd bet he was a 21st century peeping tom type or a stalker of women in whom he was interested.
This was not my experience in a Research 1 university department that took maybe 20-25 grad students per year. Most departments do not have the budget to fly potential grad students across the country--some of which are 22-25 year olds who won't make it to the end of the school year. This sort of visit is reserved for job searches for faculty. If this is different at WSU, can you provide verification?
Just to be clear the Mad Greek is not a vegan restaurant. Like most restaurants of any size, it offers a couple of vegan options in addition to its regular menu.
There is no indication that the family has the kind of money to provide an apartment for BK. And no indication that he earned enough to do so. It's also worth remembering that some of his work was done during the intense phase of COVID lockdown, so there was not much incentive to get an apartment alone when no one was going out much, if at all. BK was doing grad work online so it's not that he needed close access for classes.
As a college professor, I can say without fear that people can be "accomplished students" in online classes (which is what BK too) but without the temperament or skills for applied work. I remember one journalism grad I knew from a good university who called me because she had to write a news story (something she did all the time for the U paper) but was freaking out because now ordinary people would be reading what she said about the city council. Theory vs. application. Textbook information vs. real-world observation, interpretation and action.Agreed, @Rolypolyoly !
In the case of BK and his alleged crimes...
IMOO, every time I read about people responding to this case with something along the lines of [paraphrasing] how could he have made any/so mistakes and/or be so stupid/such an idiot, when he was an accomplished student of psychology/criminology and whatever they surmise about his IQ...
It reminds me of the saying I heard often growing up with learned people around me: "no one is perfect, and you're the perfect example of that".

I agree it's not 100% clear if the Admitted Student Visits that can be reimbursed are for both undergrads and grad students, but I posted about it because it's a possibility specific to WSU that exists, and parents would be equally welcome to join grad students as undergrads, IMO. We don't know if BK would have attended something like this with his father.
PA LE may not be under the gag order but it depends on who the source was IMO and/or where the info comes from. If this information comes from,for eg., the return on the warrant to Amazon that was issued in Idaho (which is part of the investigation of this case), then IMO that information was leaked and comes under the gag order. If Dateline has independent sources that show the defendant purchased a KBar from Amazon in April 2022 and those sources are not connected with LE currently and previously investigating this case then no, not under gag. If Idaho LE leaked to PA LE then IMO gag order would have been defied.MOO.
These orientations are specific to the school (examples: business, engineering, law, medicine) you are a graduate student in and have nothing to do with the kind of orientation undergrads get. I don't recall ever seeing mention of these in student handbooks or online. Typically a specific invitation is sent to the grad students from their specific school about the event and you have to RSVP to attend and they arrange a place for you to stay. You pay for flights and they reimburse you later. For me, there were 2 options as far as dates go. When I did this, parents NEVER attended this 2 day event but who knows nowadays. There was an extensive orientation of your school ONLY not the whole university, then you would be meeting faculty and advisors in your school, meeting other grad students, meeting my class of grad students and then I was lucky enough to meet my professor- that doesn't always happen. There was even an hour dedicated to managing workload and stress. All interspersed with business meals and after dinner, a lot of the grad students went to a local bar with the grad students who were already in school there. Then rinse and repeat starting early the next day. There was an opportunity to look at job opportunities and apply for jobs. We could talk to faculty about research projects. My professor and I actually planned a paper we eventually wrote together during this time. Beyond that, there were private meetings with various other faculty members and about 1 hour of free time to try to find out where things were on campus or find housing or meet with other faculty, all before leaving, exhausted, but prepared to start your master's or PhD.
