Convicted Idaho Student Killer Kohberger Kept Women’s IDs After Arrest

Bryan Kohberger, convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students in November 2022, was found to have kept ID badges belonging to two women from his past, discovered hidden in his parents' home in Pennsylvania after his arrest. At least one of the women was a former colleague from the Pleasant Valley School District, where Kohberger worked part-time as a security guard from 2016 to 2021 while pursuing criminology studies. Neither woman reported being harmed or threatened by Kohberger, and the purpose of him keeping their IDs remains unknown. Kohberger declined to explain his motive during trial and sentencing, leaving many to speculate about his psychological state and intentions. Prosecutors believe Kohberger may have targeted one of the women victims specifically, but the killings appeared random and brutal, involving stabbing four students to death in their off-campus home. The discovery of these keepsakes adds a disturbing element to the case, highlighting Kohberger's unsettling behavior with women prior to the murders.
