In addition to pursuing a Ph.D. at Washington State University, Bryan Kohberger also reportedly holds an undergraduate degree in criminal justice from DeSales University. As reported by the Daily Mail, Kohberger, several months before the University of Idaho slayings, posted a Reddit survey for ex-cons as part of a “research project.” According to his survey description, Kohberger wanted to know more about “how emotions and psychological traits influence decision-making when committing a crime.”
In the role of a “student investigator,” Kohberger wanted to know respondents’ answers to questions like, “Did you prepare for the crime before leaving your home?,” “Before making your move, how did you approach the victim or target?,” and “What was the first move you made to accomplish your goal?” His survey also asked respondents to describe their most recent criminal offense “with an emphasis on your thoughts and feelings throughout your experience.”
Kohberger also wanted to know how criminals left their crime scenes and whether they were gang-affiliated or not. Interestingly, after he was booked at Monroe County Jail, the 28-year-old reportedly asked police if anyone else had been arrested, per the Independent.
