A former FBI investigator suggested that Bryan Kohberger, accused of killing four Idaho college students, joined online groups to discuss the murders.
Jennifer Coffindaffer said she had been following comments from a Facebook user with the username Pappa Rodgers, who along with a Reddit user with the username InsideLooking, made chilling speculation about the murders that turned out to be true.
In a file about the two online people who frequented discussions of the brutal murders, both users pinpointed the timeline of the murders and the fact that police found a knife sheath, all before the details were publicly revealed. .
Both users also seemed to repeatedly insist that their speculations were accurate and both were accused of being the real killer in their respective groups.
Coffindaffer appeared to side with those who believed at least one of the accounts belonged to Kohberger, 28, who has maintained his innocence.
“He was driving his own car, had his phone and didn’t fit the case tight enough so I think he may have left a digital trail,” she wrote in a tweet. It was a disaster. Intelligence without common sense equals a criminal bound to be caught.’
The scrutiny of online discussion groups comes as Kohberger was denied bail while prosecutors revealed that his DNA was found on the knife sheath lying next to the bodies of one of the victims.
Former FBI investigator Jennifer Coffindaffer suggested that suspect in the Idaho murders, Bryan Kohberger (above), joined social media discussion groups about the grizzly case.
Coffindaffer believed that given the evidence against Kohberger, it was not unreasonable to believe that the criminology student left a digital trial.
Coffindaffer is among many who believe Kohberger used the name Pappa Rodgers on Facebook to discuss the murders.
On the popular Reddit group r/MoscowMurders, user InsideLooking made various speculations about the murder while the police remained silent on all the details of the murders.
One of the posts read: ‘Killer parked behind house. He approached the property through the tree line. He entered through the sliding door and left it open.
He committed murders and left through the sliding door. A knife according to the corners. [sic] declaration. Time of murder approximately 3:20 am – 3:40 am based on getaway scene and on camera on Highway 8 at approximately 3:45 am Vehicle left skid marks on exit. ‘
InsideLooking also pinpointed that the images of a shoe print police were investigating belonged to the suspect.
The prints did not match those of the victims or anyone in the house, leading investigators to believe they were left by the killer.
The user also insisted that the white Hyundai Elantra would be the key to solving the case and predicted that he would bring the suspect to the police.
Amid their speculation, InsideLooking seemed to draw attention to themselves, with many commenting on their detailed posts.
One sure commented: ‘The guy is solving his own crime… Psychopath.’
Some have also pointed out that an InsideLooking profile photo shows a person dressed in black, wearing gloves and a headlamp.
On Reddit, a user with the handle InsideLooking made chillingly accurate predictions about the case before the information was made public.
It led many to wonder why the speculations were so detailed.
In a post, InsideLooking said the killer must have been “very emotional” after the murders.
The Redditor also pointed out the importance of the Hyundai Elantra

A similar incident occurred with Facebook user Pappa Rodgers, a member of the University of Idaho murder case discussion group.
In a post to the group targeted by Coffinadaffer, Rodgers wrote: “From published evidence, the murder weapon has been consistent as a large fixed-blade knife. This leads me to believe that they found the pod.
Rodgers seemed to insist that the pod was real and even clashed with other members about it, who accused him of communicating “like a serial killer”.
A group administrator later clarified that despite Rodgers’ apparent authority in the group, he was never an administrator or moderator.
Kristine Cameron, wrote: “I was all over her and incessantly arguing with people and saying really creepy things and posting questions similar to Bryan’s crime questions.”
‘We removed Pappa Rodgers at 7:10 the night before Bryan’s arrest. She created a group page and had 6 people on it.
No one has heard from Pappa Rodger since the arrest.
On Facebook, Papa Rodgers was a prominent figure in a discussion group who strongly believed that the police had found a knife sheath.
Rodgers argued with people about the pod, with one saying he sounded like a “serial killer.”
An administrator for the group said Rodgers has been silent since Kohberger’s arrest.
Kohberger, 28, was charged with the murder of Ethan Chapin, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Madison Mogen, 21, and is being flown to Moscow, where the students were found dead in their home outside from campus. .
Kohberger was seen smiling during a brief court appearance Thursday, which came as police and prosecutors revealed their bombshell case against him, including how his DNA was found on a knife sheath at the scene. .
He was denied bail on Thursday during a brief court appearance in Moscow shortly after an affidavit detailing the prosecutors’ case against him was shared online.
Kohberger spent most of the 10-minute hearing looking directly at Judge Megan Marshall as she was read her rights and the five counts, answering “yes” when asked if she understood each count.
At one point, Kohberger was photographed smiling at his attorney Anne Taylor. It’s unclear what prompted the smile, which comes six days after he rose to fame as America’s most infamous suspected serial killer.
Kohberger remained impassive throughout, but briefly began to sway from side to side when the judge told him he was facing the death penalty. He will return to court on January 12 for a status hearing.
The way the killer navigated the three-story house to kill the four students, who were sleeping in separate rooms and floors, in the early hours of the morning on November 13 has raised questions about his motives.
Investigators were seen removing a bloody mattress from the home where four University of Idaho students were killed in November.
The court documents included details about how Kohberger’s DNA was found on a knife sheath near the bodies of Maddie Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves.
The documents also detail how a surviving roommate, Dylan Mortensen, came face to face with a masked man believed to be Kohbegrer in the hallway of their shared home at the time of the murders shortly after 4 a.m. November 13.
Mortensen heard what she believed to be her roommate’s screams, came out of her room, and saw a man with a black mask and bushy eyebrows. She froze with fear and watched him go by, then waited six hours before calling the police.
More details were shared about Kohberger’s alleged harassment of his victims. His phone was found to have been in the vicinity of his Moscow home 12 times before the November murders, beginning in mid-August.
Kaylee Goncalves’ family was also in court, with her mother shaking her head and sobbing as the murder charge involving her daughter was read.
