Three University of Idaho students claim they saw murders suspect Bryan Kohberger at student union

Three University of Idaho students said they saw quadruple murder suspect Bryan Kohberger at his Student Union weeks before the slayings.

the students said PEOPLE that following Kohberger’s arrest for the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Maddie Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, they recognized him as a loner from the Union Building.

A student who identified herself as Chelsea, a sophomore, said she saw Kohberger, a student at nearby Washington State University, eating alone in the food court just weeks before the Nov. 13 killings.

“He was the staring type,” he said. He wouldn’t look away if you caught him staring at you.

As if he wanted you to notice that he was looking at you. She didn’t smile, she didn’t nod, she didn’t say anything. I just looked.

The students said they saw him alone in the school’s Student Union building and noticed that he was looking at people and making them “uncomfortable”.

Kohberger attended Washington State University, just 8 miles from the University of Idaho

Chelsea told PEOPLE that Kohberger’s look was “making her uncomfortable” and that she and her friends went out to eat “because we wanted to get away from him.”

Another student at the school said she, too, felt “uncomfortable” by Kohberger’s look after allegedly bumping into him multiple times on campus.

She said that because the school is relatively small, she came to recognize people on campus and was sure she had seen Kohberger on several occasions.

“I definitely saw it more than once,” she told PEOPLE. “He was very quiet and very intense, watching. He made me feel uncomfortable.

The alleged sighting of Kohberger on campus comes after police said they believed the suspect in the quadruple murders spent time on the University of Idaho campus before carrying out the brutal murders.

The university hired more campus police officers and increased the number of officers on the ground following the slayings, and despite Kohberger’s arrest, officials said the increased enforcement will continue.

The University of Idaho did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com’s request for comment about the alleged Kohberger sightings.

Idaho police said the four University of Idaho students were killed in their sleep between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. (Pictured: Victims Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Maddie Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20)

Kaylee and Madison were found on the top floor of their Moscow, Idaho, home. College lovers Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle were found in a second-floor bedroom while survivors Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke slept on the first floor.

The alleged sightings at the University of Idaho would not be the first time that women have accused Kohberger of making them uncomfortable or scaring them.

Jordan Serulneck, 34, who runs Seven Siren Brewing Company in Kohberger’s native Pennsylvania, said the suspect had problematic interactions with women at his bar.

serulneck said nbc The workers labeled Kohberger in their systems as a guy who “makes creepy comments” and said he once called a staff member “ab***h” for refusing his advances.

Reading his staff notes on Kohberger, Central Valley’s Serulneck said: ‘Hey, this guy makes creepy comments, keep an eye on him. He’ll have two or three beers and then get a little too comfortable.

Kohberger, who is studying criminology at WSU, has been charged with the murders of four University of Idaho students at their off-campus home on November 13.

Officers responding to the scene of the gory crime on November 13 quickly discovered a K-Bar knife sheath next to the bodies of Maddie Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves.

The unsealed court documents show the painstaking work done by officers, who matched the DNA found in the pod to that of Kohberger by comparing it to his father’s DNA, which he matched 99.9998 percent and identified through a genetic genealogy website.

Court documents recently revealed that police discovered a pillow covered in “blood” in Kohberger’s Washington apartment.

A new search warrant, made public on January 17, shows that police also found several strands of hair, including one suspected to be from an animal, a black glove, a computer tower, and an unnamed item with a ‘deep red spots’ collection.
