Dumb because obviously we can never know for sure;

But do you think BK would have killed Kaylee if she didn't wake up/start stirring in her sleep?

Like do you think if she stayed asleep throughout what happened to Maddie she would still be alive?

(I'm not victim blaming at all by the way, Kaylee fought like heck and that is a testament to not only her strength, but her loyalty to her best friend. May K and the MXE rest in peace 🕊️)

I talked about this in another sub, but it’s just crazy to me that after hearing both of their victim impact statements, there’s still a bunch of people out there who continue to push the narrative that they were involved. It’s absolutely disgusting how badly these two survivors of such a horrific crime have been treated, and it genuinely makes me lose faith in humanity. Why are you coming for these girls more than the actual person who committed this crime?! It’s truly one of the worst cases of victim blaming I’ve ever seen in a true crime case. I don’t even bother scrolling through comment sections because I know they’re gonna be filled with a bunch of BS. You can’t even try to argue with these people or throw all the facts at them because they simply don’t care. I’m just glad this subreddit has a ton of people who support them because that’s what they need.

Hi again, Lauren P. here. I have set up my pnwreporter Instagram and TikTok for the book project. I've only posted one video to TikTok and I am not super experienced with the app, so apologies. Let me know what kinds of videos you want to see. I plan to travel to Moscow this summer and I can show you around, update you about book progress or ask/answer questions for people interested in the case.

In about two weeks, I'm going to interview an FBI agent who worked on the case. If you could ask a detective something about the investigation, what would it be?

I'll add questions to a running document I have. I'm especially interested in questions that haven't been answered by previous coverage.

I've had a couple locals reach out to me with both concerns and support for the project, and I really appreciate it. Keep reaching out to me (especially if you're a Moscow or Albrightsville local) and let me know what it was like for you when this was all going down.

Edit: Great questions everyone, I have about a two page Google Doc full. Feel free to drop them here whenever and I'll keep checking in.

Ultimately there is never going to be a definitive motive as to why Bryan Kohberger did this callous crime. Granted him refusing to speak on his motivating factors towards this makes the reasons for the act unclear.

However I would like to give my conclusions on why I think Bryan Kohberger killed Kaylee,Maddie,Xana and Ethan. While my reasons may not be full correct I do want to give my thoughts on the matter. Other than there here is what motives I think Bryan had.

Arguably the most obvious is that Bryan has a desire to kill.Before he became a killer Bryan was studying criminology in WSU,and was looking up videos about serial killers on YouTube. The more he went into the rabbit hole of it all the more it captivated him. Eventually he came to the conclusion he wanted to kill people so he could experience what it’s like to take lives like serials killers, like Ted Bundy for example.
Bryan Kohberger wanted to commit the perfect crime and see if he could get away with it all. This reasoning is going to be brief but I think he wanted to do this elaborate and master plan of killing everyone in the household. Then escape,lay low and hopefully he never gets discovered. What makes this even worse he could have kept on killing if he never got caught.
Now this reason is something I firmly believe in. Personally I believe Bryan wanted to kill all of them was to get revenge upon women who rejected and bullied him throughout his whole life. It’s well known to us that Bryan was constantly rejected and bullied by women while growing up. So by brutally killing Kaylee,Maddie and Xana it was him getting back on all women. I’d even like to add that I also think that the reason he was so inappropriate towards the women in WSU, which resulted in him getting 13 complains was to also get back a women who in his eyes discarded and rebuked him in his adolescent years.
To get revenge on men like Ethan Chapin, as Ethan represented the men he could never be. Ethan was the confident,fun,loving and easy going guy who was popular guy along with women.Meanwhile Bryan was the creepy,aloof,socially awkward,rejected that everyone just outcasted and would be genuinely avoided.
Now finally the last one was to get payback on society as a whole for rejecting him, in his entire life in his eyes. It’s well known that Kohberger was an outcast prior to all of this. So he came to a conclusion, the best way to get payback on everyone else was to unleash his fury and kill these people.

Now these spare just my thoughts on the topic,what i have written may not be correct but at the same time i just wanted to present my opinions.
