‘I’ll cut you’: Idaho ‘killer’ shows genitals in jail rant

Idaho suspected murderer Bryan Kohberger spends his days ranting and singing lyrics to violent rap songs inside the Pennsylvania jail where he is being held.

And several times the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students tried to expose himself to an inmate who was being held in a cell near his own.

Now that inmate, Valerie Cipollina, 50, has exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com how Kohberger taunted the guards, saying they were too scared to go into her cell.

“I’ll cut them, I’ll cut you,” Kohberger yelled repeatedly, said Cipollina, who was held in the Monroe County jail for six hours on a New Year’s domestic violence charge.

“Get in here and I’ll cut you down,” Kohberger allegedly yelled at a guard. I’m going to pee on your face. Do what you want with me, I don’t care.

Cipollina was in a malicious corner of Kohberger’s cell at the Monroe County Jail in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. She could see her upper body clearly through the glass, though her lower body was hidden from her.

He was wearing a regular orange prison jumpsuit and not the anti-suicide ‘turtle suit’ he was wearing when his mugshot was taken on Friday.

At first he said he didn’t realize who he was, but then he overheard jail employees talking about him and another inmate told him, ‘That’s the guy who killed those college students.’

She said he repeatedly lifted his shirt and heard the guard tell him several times to put on his pants. She believes that he was trying to expose himself to her.

“I couldn’t see his genitals because the glass wall only collapsed to a certain extent,” he said.

Cipollina, who lives in Garnersville, New York, was arrested shortly after 3 a.m. New Year’s Day at a hotel in Paradise Township, Pennsylvania, after fighting with her boyfriend.

She was booked into the Monroe County Jail at 6:20 am and released at 12:11 pm the same day.

She said that being in jail for nearly six hours over New Years was a miserable experience, but one made much worse by Kohberger’s constant ranting.

‘I was able to see him through the polycarbonate glass window of his cell. She was standing against him, yelling violent rap lyrics.

At one point, he yelled “Fuck my haters and haters,” a line from Lil Wayne’s Multiple Flows. She also sang violent and misogynistic lyrics to Bad Bunny songs, she said.

At one point, Cipollina said the jailer stationed outside Kohberger’s cell told him to shut up and calm down, to which he replied, “Come on, you son of a bitch.” Come here, let’s talk.

Then he yelled at the top of his lungs: ‘Come in everyone. You are afraid of me? You should be afraid of me.

“They’re not going to do anything to me because I’m going to cut them all off,” he allegedly ranted. Come to this cell and I will show you that I am a creeper. Step into this cell and I’ll cut you down too.

Along with Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen, Kohberger is also accused of murdering young couple Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, both in their 20s.

All four died in their beds at their Moscow home in the early hours of November 13 in a murder so brutal that police described the scene to DailyMail.com as “the worst we have ever seen”.

A Rambo-style knife was used to carry out the killings, police said, at the six-bedroom rental property where three of the victims live.

The killings, the first in Moscow since 2015, left the small town of 25,000 in shock and police desperately searching for answers.

Kohberger has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary, prosecutor Bill Thompson said. Idaho is a death penalty state. He is scheduled to return to court in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.

Kohberger’s arrest is the culmination of an investigation that has spanned more than a month and left the Moscow Police Department facing a barrage of criticism.

Police officers have been criticized for describing the killings as “targeted” while refusing to release information to explain why.

Sources say authorities knew who they were looking for and pursued the suspect all the way to Pennsylvania in the Pocono Mountains, more than 2,400 miles from Idaho.

NewsNation reported that Kohberger had a calm, blank stare when he was arrested by local police and the FBI on Friday morning.

Kohberger is an undergraduate doctoral student at Washington State University, in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology, and did not attend the University of Idaho. It is not clear if he knew any of the students he allegedly killed.

He graduated from DeSales University in Pennsylvania in May 2022 with a master’s degree in criminal justice.

As part of his investigation, Kohberger posted a social media appeal for help with his research, which looked at how “emotions and psychological traits influence decision-making when committing crime.”

His sister, Melissa, is a mental health nurse in New Jersey, specializing in ‘trauma’ and ’emotional regulation’.

Bill Thompson, the Latah County prosecutor, was also seen outside the apartment along with investigators, gearing up in protective booties before heading to Kohberger’s Washington apartment.

Law enforcement sources told CNN that Kohberger’s DNA was discovered at the crime scene, and officers were able to track down the owner of the white Hyundai Elantra seen in the area of ​​the murders.

Authorities then discovered that he had left the area and traveled to Pennsylvania, where an FBI surveillance team had been tracking the 6-foot-tall man.

He was kept under surveillance, with the FBI observing him for four days, while Moscow police investigators and Idaho State Police worked to obtain an arrest warrant.

Kohberger has no prior arrests, according to public records, so it’s unclear how officials got hold of his DNA.
