Idaho Murders Suspect: Experts Discuss 'Sick' Reddit Poll About Crimes Posted By Kohberger

A team of experts has discussed during a television show a damning social media post by Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in killing four University of Idaho students.

Phil McGraw, better known as Dr. Phil, invited some experts to his TV program to examine a Reddit post by Kohberger asking criminals about how they planned and executed their crimes.

"Did you struggle or fight the victim? How did you travel and enter the location that the crime occurred?" Kohberger wrote in a Reddit post, Fox News reported.

"What was the first move you made in order to accomplish your goal?" he added.

Mercedes Colwin, a trial lawyer, said the Reddit survey could be used as evidence against Kohberger in the court, adding that matching it with the affidavit would be "mind-blowing."

"If you match up that survey against that affidavit, it's mind-blowing," Colwin said.

"The very first question he asked in that survey, where he's trying to ask about the emotions that people are feeling when they're committing crimes, is, 'how did you target your victims?' Well, you go back to the affidavit, and they go back to the 12 pingings of his phone in and around that [crime scene]," the lawyer explained.

Colwin connected one of Kohberger's questions asking the criminals what they do in preparation for the crime to when the Idaho murder suspect turned off his phone throughout his travel back to Pennsylvania.

Jonathan Gilliam, a former FBI special agent, said Kohberger's move to turn off his cellphone could be proof that he was deliberately covering his tracks, adding that the suspect was "structuring his behavior in a way as not to get caught."

Gilliam explained that "the absence of evidence is often proof," to a degree, of "guilt."

Dr. Phil suggested that Kohberger might have asked the questions because he wanted "to live vicariously through it," and he didn't want to panic when he committed a crime.

Meanwhile, Caitlyn Becker, a senior reporter for the Daily Mail, noticed Kohberger's use of the word "goal" in his Reddit survey.

Becker said the suspect's use of "goal" struck her as odd, adding that Kohberger "finds crime to be something to aspire to."

But despite the opinion of experts, Jason LaBar, a former defense attorney of Kohberger, still believes the evidence presented in the probable cause affidavit could be "attacked" in court.

In his interview with WFMZ-TV, LaBar said he told Kohberger that the content of the affidavit was "allegations only," and he's still presumed innocent.

LaBar added that he believes Kohberger has no "mental illness or disease or defect" that could impact his trial.

Kohberger is facing four counts of murder and one count of burglary after he was accused of killing four University of Idaho students in an off-campus apartment home on Nov. 13, 2022.

The suspect appeared in court last week, where he waived his right to a speedy preliminary hearing to give his defense more time to review the evidence presented by the prosecutors.

Kohberger is scheduled to make another court appearance on June 26.
