Bryan Kohberger And The Essay He Wrote While At DeSales University (Part 2)

About this episode

​In 2020, while pursuing a master's degree in criminal justice at DeSales University, Bryan Kohberger authored a 12-page essay titled "Crime-Scene Scenario Final." This academic paper detailed procedures for processing a crime scene, emphasizing methods to prevent contamination, such as the use of fiber-free overalls, gloves, and booties. Kohberger also discussed the importance of collecting DNA evidence and analyzing surveillance footage to identify suspects. The essay centered around a case involving a 35-year-old woman who was stabbed to death in a trailer park, though it remains unclear if this scenario was hypothetical or based on real events.

Prosecutors in Kohberger's ongoing trial for the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students have introduced this essay as evidence, arguing that it demonstrates his extensive knowledge of crime scene investigation techniques. They contend that the detailed understanding reflected in his writing suggests a capability to commit the alleged crimes with precision and an awareness of how to avoid leaving incriminating evidence. The trial is scheduled to begin in August 2025, with jury selection commencing on July 30.
