I would stand by my child too until their guilt was proven.


I give them a little leeway for the simple reason this is a shocking, horrible, terrible, unexpected situation they find themselves in and maybe this is shock and confusion talking. How would any of us react under these dreadful circumstances?


I agree. Their son is denying it, he was at least right now high functioning in a phD program and they are his parents. They probably truly believe it’s some horrible mistake at this point. Not much has been released so they don’t fully know or understand the evidence. As a parent I can imagine being in deep denial in a situation like this


I truly doubt that parents and close relatives/friends of mass killers have never seen a single red flag.


Hindsight is 20/20.


I can think of a couple people I know that are bizarre and a creepy. Most people can. But unless someone is actually doing something illegal, or extremely suspicious, what are you supposed to do?

Have you heard “see something, say something”?
You are NOT the investigator. You report!


Sure: “I saw this guy looking at these people weirdly, please investigate.”


Again, you are not the investigator.


No investigator is going to rush over to investigate a dude who hasn’t done anything more than be creepy and hit on girls. There’s no crime to investigate. In a college town, that’s a pretty typical Saturday night. Even if he followed someone home, that’s not illegal unless he trespasses or threatens them.

Unless maybe you’re referring to the investigator of the murders, and reporting it when they requested help from the public? In that case, I’d agree you might want to report it, especially when there are so few other leads. But there’s still a huge hap between “awkward creepy dude in bar” to “quadruple murderer.” I’d need to be pretty sure of myself and my instincts before I threw someone into that fire.

See something, say something does NOT mean wait until you believe you saw a crime.

So gross. Reminds me of the Laundries, who wanted to send their son a shovel. They think they are above the law.

Lots of parents are like that. They’ll do anything for their kid to avoid consequences. It’s really sick.

Agree - and this is how it ends up, one way or the other.

Former acquaintance of the killer said “Shocked by the news of Kohberger’s arrest, but not surprised. He was mean-spirited, he was a bully. I never thought he would do something like that, but at the same time it doesn’t really surprise me.”

I think that's common, isn't it?

Very common. That is why the police usually attend and photograph the crowd.

Thank you! Just want to comment that people said he didn't look strong...he looks plenty strong to me and rather intense.

I said, can't you at least write down his description or go get his name in case tomorrow, there is a woman missing from my neighborhood?

They could have and should have taken a written report. Always get a copy. Sometimes they’re too busy or just too lazy.



The police don’t seem to care much about men stalking women.

I was reading some commentary on Reddit about how he may have been interested in one of the girls and was angry at being rejected/not getting anywhere. Some comments were suggesting he was an incel. This is Reddit, so take it with a grain of salt, but it would match a pattern of male violence.

That is a bs statement obviously made by a "police hating" person. Shame on you.

Yes, this seems to be the main theory, looking at his history. Supposedly he had a pattern of harassing the women working at bars/restaurants in his previous town.

That phrase is used in airports - its about suspicious packages, not behavior.

Wrong. It’s about anything suspicious or concerning. If a kid starts talking about killing people, you had better say something... like get a mental health evaluation asap.


Of course, but is there any indication that this guy was ever talking about killing people? It seems like he was just weird and had social problems. How can you really report that?

Major red flag there. Good that at least one of the bars tagged his ID to keep an eye on him.
