() New documents released by police have shed new light on the murders of Madison Mogen, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle and Kaylee Goncalves by Bryan Kohberger.

In an interview with the Idaho State Police, a surviving roommate said Kohberger mentioned Goncalves by name before murdering her.

“Sometime in the early morning hours, (redacted) was awoken and opened her room door and heard a male say, ‘It’s OK Kaylee. I’m here for you’ and crying. She then shut the door. A short while later, she opened her door again and saw someone approximately 5’10” tall, dressed in black with a ski mask, standing in the kitchen.”

If the surviving roommate was correct, Kohberger not only knew Goncalves’ name but also where she lived, which could suggest it was a targeted murder.

Professor’s warning

In documents obtained by , a Washington State University criminology professor, where Kohberger was a teaching assistant pursuing a PhD in criminology, warned other professors and supervisors that Kohberger might be a predator.

“Kohberger is smart enough that in four years, we will have to give him a Ph.D. Mark my word, I work with predators, if we give him a Ph.D., that’s the guy that in many years when he is a professor, we will hear is harassing, stalking, and sexually abusing.”

This note was sent months before the murders of Mogen, Chapin, Kernodle, and Goncalves on Nov. 13, 2022.

Kohberger’s 18 saved contacts

Digital forensic expert Heather Barnhart told “Banfield” on Thursday that Kohberger had only 18 personal contacts saved on his phone.

“Think about all the people you meet and the hundreds of random numbers, and they were even identified as ‘girl I ran with,’ ‘second girl I ran with.’ A contact, then in parentheses: ‘hair.’

“Then there was mother and father, and his sister and just a few others.”
