Bryan Kohberger’s younger sister says she warned her brother that a "psycho killer" was on the loose after four University of Idaho students were killed, unaware she was speaking to the man later convicted of the brutal murders.
Mel Kohberger, Bryan's sister, recalled the conversation with her brother during a recent interview with The New York Times, saying she felt a sense of alarm after hearing about the murders in Moscow, Idaho. Kohberger pleaded guilty to murdering Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Kaylee Goncalves, who were killed on November 13, 2022.
"Bryan, you are running outside and this psycho killer is on the loose," she remembers telling her brother. "Be careful."
Bryan thanked her for checking in and assured Mel that he would be safe. Mel said that Bryan was the kind of person who would go on late-night jogs and leave his door unlocked, prompting her to check in.
Mel recalled how Bryan was constantly bullied as a teenager as friends previously said he was overweight and had a standoffish personality. In online posts while Bryan was a teenager, according to the outlet, he said that he had no emotion, little remorse, and felt like he was "an organic sack of meat with no self-worth."
Bryan, who was addicted to heroin as a teenager, once stole Mel's phone and sold it at a mall so he could buy more drugs, the sister said. Mel said her family was worried Bryan was on a pathway to an early death, something that happened to one of his friends. However, Mel said Bryan received treatment and was doing better.
"We were all so proud of him because he had overcome so much," Mel said.
After treatment, Mel said while Bryan remained socially awkward and abrasive at times, she never saw him as a violent person.
Bryan did not discuss the Idaho murders while staying at his parents’ Pennsylvania home in the days before the FBI raid, but Mel recalled him mentioning the case once, noting investigators were still searching for a suspect.
When Bryan was arrested Dec. 30, 2022, Mel recalled getting a phone call from her older sister, Amanda.
"She was like, ‘I’m with the FBI, Bryan’s been arrested,’" Mel said. "I was like, ‘For what?’"
"The Idaho murders," Amanda responded.
Mel initially thought her sister might have been pranking her before becoming nauseous at the thought that her own brother was behind the murders of four college students.
Overnight, Mel said her world was flipped upside down. Bryan's sister said she was training to start her new job as a mental health counselor in New Jersey, but agreed to step down after the new employer became inundated with inquiries.
Mel said she became angry after seeing online posts from people who speculated that her family may have known that Bryan had killed the four University of Idaho students.
"I have always been a person who has spoken up for what was right," Mel said. "If I ever had a reason to believe my brother did anything, I would have turned him in."
Link to just a snippet for how deep the corruption goes. Kohberger was never part of this drug matrix exposed. He was a PhD student until the Moscow PD decided he was a good candidate to hang the murders on. Big problem for Liedaho. It’s all coming out. He will be exonerated. He will be very rich from suing their asses off. Link:
Do you accept that Jesus Christ was framed in a conspiracy?
The entire American population was biased against him thanks to the MSM and the fraudulent leaks to that lying entity. Ashley Banfield and Nancy DisGrace lied, too click bait hoes. Further, an unattractive guy, brilliant student, autistic, socially awkward, a vegan, and a hand scrubbing germaphobe, is hardly a candidate for blood letting. He was never in that house, did not know nor stalk them, had no social media contact with them, was 28 and not of their age group. Lived in Pullman since the fall beginning of classes. Just arrived from Pennsylvania. Out of towner. The lies about the many vehicles coming and going not a single pic cannot be proven to be his. Law enforcement used one pic saying it’s his. It has fog lights. Kohberger’s vehicle has none. Not one accusatory video proves any of those vehicles were his. He was never in that neighborhood. He lived in Pullman, Washington not in Moscow, Idaho. No blood no DNA in his vehicle. No blood nor DNA in his apartment. I’m flummoxed at the outrageous lies by Moscow PD and Prosecutor Bill Thompson to force a square peg into a round hole. I was very disappointed this fabrication did not go to trial. And it was obvious at the plea hearing those involved in the framing were absolutely delighted at achieving the plea. Had this gone to trial, the fraud would have been revealed. His attorney was salaried by Idaho. Right away he had shite for a proper defense. Regarding his sisters interview, I did not see it as an indictment of her brother. To me Kohberger has a loving family. Who does not have a few issues growing up, some more than others. He straightened out his life. Was getting his PHD when the sky fell. The murders were a drug cartel hit. It’s obvious from court documents that at least two, maybe three people were involved in the killings (all done within a 17 minute time frame. There was two different weapons and a gun involved. So much was hidden from the public. But unfortunately for the Moscow PD liars, the releasing of court documents now reveal the gravity of hiding exculpatory evidence. It’s all there, and more as documents continue to be released to the public. A sad expose of the corrupt judiciary in Idaho. And likely crossed the US. Stay tuned…. there will be appeals coming. PS: He plead due to the firing squad death threat and massive public bias (no fair trial). He never confessed. How could he.
