Post-Murders Phone Activity

• 📞 Within two hours of the University of Idaho murders, Bryan Kohberger called his mother multiple times, spending over three hours on the phone with her throughout the day.
• 📱 Digital forensics revealed he saved his parents as "mother" and "father" in his contacts and used these formal terms in texts, a detail described as "eerie" and reminiscent of Norman Bates.
• 🚗 Notably, one 54-minute call with his mother overlapped with the time Kohberger returned to the King Road murder scene, possibly to retrieve a discarded knife sheath.

Limited Social Connections

• 👤 Kohberger's phone contained only 18 personal contacts, a stark contrast to the hundreds or thousands typical for individuals his age.
• 💬 Communications outside of his parents were minimal, with no text chains or social plans found, suggesting a profound lack of social interaction.
• 🚫 Digital experts noted he had no friends to send selfies to, and his account was permanently suspended by Reddit for posting violent content on the day of his arrest.

Academic Red Flags

• 🎓 Professors and fellow students at Washington State University described Kohberger as difficult, fixated on burglars and serial killers, and prone to dominating conversations.
• ⚠️ One professor expressed serious concern that Kohberger, due to his intelligence and disturbing patterns, would become a "predator" if he obtained his PhD.
• 🚫 The department considered drastic measures, including cutting funding, to remove him due to fears of his potential for stalking and harassment.

Disturbing Evidence and Statements

• 📖 A seized self-help book, "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway," was heavily highlighted on page 118, with a passage emphasizing the knowledge that one can handle anything as key to taking risks.
• ❓ A surviving roommate, Dylan Mortonson, initially told police she heard Kohberger say, "It's okay, Kaye. I'm here to help you," a statement that, if accurate, suggests a prior connection to one of the victims.
• 📸 A selfie taken hours after the murders showed Kohberger with white knuckles and a band-aid, potentially indicating he had scrubbed his hands of residue, and a shower curtain visible in the photo was later missing from his apartment.
• 🔦 Kohberger turned off his phone at 100% battery power around 2 AM on the night of the murders, a move that obliterated his stargazing alibi and suggested he was awake and active during the time of the killings.
