I’m not surprised that he’s got groupies. I mean, Charles Manson has groupies. Evil, notorious people are generally going to have groupies.

Oh, I’m not surprised either, but it’s just so gross. Almost as bad as being pro-Trump.

It is. I totally agree with you.

I'm glad that the home has now been demolished. I hope that it brings some comfort to the victims families.


Regarding the alleged killer's "groupies" that doesn't surprise me in the least.

Why is this being delayed? I don’t get what’s taking so long.

Bryan Kohberger repeatedly answered “yes” when asked if he stabbed four University of Idaho students “deliberately with premeditation and malice of forethought” by the judge overseeing his case.


As many of you may remember, the victims were all members of University of Idaho's Greek life.


Two of the girls were Pi Beta Phi members. The other young woman was an Alpha Phi. The young man was a member of Sigma Chi.

I have a very real problem with BK not having to tell the families WHY he decided to kill four people. That is the very least that he owes them.

Yep, but I think in a lot of cases like this one, especially thrill killings or psychopathic crimes, there’s like really no clear, rational “why” that brings real closure. Bryan Kohberger’s case shows classic signs of an offender who wanted to feel power, control, or like satisfy some dark fantasy. But when you try to translate that into normal human logic, “Why these kids? Why that night?” It doesn’t add up in a way that gives families peace.

I mean, courts can prove how and who, but “why” is often twisted, vague, or just plain empty. He might say something if he wanted to manipulate sympathy, but the real answer is likely worse and that there is no answer that makes sense, because the void in him doesn’t make sense.

I think that for a rational person, there is no real “why.” And there is absolutely no justifiable reason for what happened. I also don’t believe life in prison will treat him well.

Understood. Yet, I think he owes it to the families, if only to prove what a walking piece of excrement he is.

Sadly my own family was affected by a similar event nearly 8 years ago. My cousin was murdered by her boyfriend's son. Her boyfriend was also killed and their killer attempted to kill two others that day.
We never received an answer to "Why?" throughout the investigation or trial. The killer is now in prison for life without the possibility of parole, but we'll likely never know why he chose to murder two people and attempt to kill two others.

I’m so sorry your family went through that, TLLK. That really has to be brutal living with questions you’ll never get answers to. I mean, it’s hard to begin with, but that missing “why” makes it so much harder.

Thank you. It's been almost three years since the trial and sentencing. While the immediate shock and pain has dissipated, we'll never know the "why."

Yahoo has a few articles about the plea deal: https://www.yahoo.com/news/kohberger...163638647.html
