Description: Women on the Washington State University campus built survival systems to avoid Bryan Kohberger. A tally board tracking his comments. Emails with "911" in the subject line. Security escorts to their cars. A door strategy so no one would be trapped alone with him.According to a 126-page lawsuit filed by the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, at least 13 formal complaints were filed against Kohberger in just three months during fall 2022. A professor who worked with predators urged colleagues to cut his funding. She told them directly: "If we give him a Ph.D., that's the guy we will hear is harassing, stalking, and sexually abusing his students."The university didn't act. Five days before four students were murdered, WSU held mandatory discrimination training for Kohberger's cohort — because of him. Less than two weeks before the killings, faculty met with him about his behavior. No decisive action was taken.Meanwhile, Bryan's sister Mel Kohberger has broken three years of silence in a New York Times interview. She describes Christmas 2022 — warning her brother about the "psycho killer on the loose" near his apartment, never imagining he was the suspect. She talks about his heroin addiction, his recovery, the childhood bullying that shaped him, and the heart she drew for him that tabloids called a "creepy drawing."The lawsuit alleges WSU calculated that a potential discrimination lawsuit from Kohberger was a bigger risk than the violence he might commit. The families of four murdered students are now demanding transparency, accountability, and reform.This wasn't a case of warning signs being missed. According to the lawsuit, they were documented and ignored.#BryanKohberger #WSULawsuit #IdahoMurders #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #MelKohberger #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
