Bryan Kohberger, the convicted killer of four University of Idaho students, is reportedly attempting to form connections with other notorious serial killers while serving multiple life sentences.
Kohberger, who turned 31 behind bars last month, has been contacting high-profile inmates from his cell at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution in Kuna, according to Chris McDonough, a retired homicide detective with the Cold Case Foundation, as reported by Fox News Digital.
“He’s tried reaching out to other serial killers, but I don’t know whether any relationships have formed,” McDonough said, citing a trusted source. “Both inside and outside — he’s trying to communicate with people outside the walls.” He added that Kohberger “sees himself above everyone around him.”
The former Washington University graduate student has also drawn attention for less sinister behavior behind bars. He has reportedly complained about the type of bananas provided to him, saying they are not to his liking. “I’m not sure if that means they may have bruises on them or if there is a particular type of banana that he likes,” McDonough told the Daily Mail in November. “You can’t make this stuff up — the guy is a quadruple killer and he’s complaining about bananas.”
Kohberger has filed at least five formal complaints since arriving at the Idaho penitentiary, though prison staff reportedly pay little attention to them.
In July, Kohberger accepted a surprise plea deal just weeks before his trial was set to begin. He admitted to fatally stabbing Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, and Ethan Chapin on November 13, 2022, in their off-campus residence in Moscow, Idaho. The plea deal spared him the death penalty, leaving some families of the victims frustrated and without answers regarding his motives.
He is currently serving four life sentences without the possibility of parole.
