Former FBI agent: Idaho murders were 'revenge-type of killing' | Early Morning 

Whatever the motive, the act in itself was nothing short of evil. The way he was stalking them for some time just gives me the creeps.

If this murder occurred 20 years ago, this crime would’ve been unsolved. Modern criminology plus surveillance tech is incredible and scary.

Everyday I have a bad day I think of the parents to these kids and family friends. I try real hard dig deep to do better because what they are going through is not fair and I couldn't imagine.

He went inside the home with the intent to kill. This individual is full of anger and hate stabbing is very personal

Makes me wonder if he is connected to any other unsolved cases

I feel like BK is the type of guy that if an incorrect motive is circulating amongst the public, he will have to correct it publicly to make sure everyone knows.

NO MATTER WHAT HE KNOWS WHAT HE DID, HE WENT TO THAT APPARTMENT TO KILL, HE ALREADY PLAN IT AND HE WAS STALKING THEM, THAT WOULD SCARE THE HELL OUT OF ME, MAY THOSE 4 INNOCENT INDIVIDUALS REST IN PEACE, AND TO BRING PEACE AND CLOSIER TO THE FAMIL OF THE VICTIMS 🙏✝️❤️💜💙😥

IQ doesn't equal human intelligence, like, some doctors are great doctors, and some are great, and caring, and good at listening, and compassionate. That's all that is, a separate intelligence that doesn't come from a book, and it's rare. I love people like this♥️

I think the victims represented the type of people Bryan hated maybe he was rejected by sorority girls and insulted by them and frat guys and this was his way of getting them back

Maybe be was supplying drugs to that house that night...explains why he drove around , and why he went out at 2am. Also explains why his cell had been then in last 6 months and why DM didnt call the cops... just a thought.

He is Devil himself these poor ppl and their families 😢🙏💜

“Stupid is as stupid does.” - Forrest Gump. No one that does something like this should ever be considered a genius or intelligent at all.

The guy that cuts my lawn has an opinion on it too. You want to interview him?

I feel like he's the type once he is convicted and he realizes there is no way out he will talk and tell his side of the story bundy style.

He probably had himself convinced that he wouldn't get caught because he's smarter than all the cops and it's usually their narcissism that brings them down.

He looks like someone who might have been rejected many times by many women over the years. He stalked and targeted them just like serial killers do, we might never know why them, even if he confesses he's going to say whatever he wants people to believe.

As more info comes out, my heart is truly broken that these four college students had to lose their lives over this. It’s been sad from day 1 but. Those four kids should be here, partying having fun and starting their next semester. Life is truly not fair 🙏💔 RIP Idaho 4

Doubt it, Just a sick individual carrying out a cruel fantasy

I absolutely think there is much more to the story. I also sense there was some kind of revenge motivation that sparked his psychopathic rage.

He sounds like a sociopath or a malignant narcissist. 10 to 1 he fires his lawyer and defends himself. I'll bet that one of the victims did nothing more than politely reject his creepy advances. He saw her and her friends as easy targets and decided to butcher them for kicks. Brutal.

Bryan to his neighbor in Pullman, WA when they discussed the murders in Idaho: "They don't have any leads. Seems to be a crime of passion." Bryan intentionally made it look like a crime of passion because he knew that would lead investigators to those with close relationships with the victims. Intentionally made his attack more brutal and gruesome on one victim. Bryan had no feelings whatsoever for these victims. No feelings good or bad. Bryan was obsessed with what he studied and he had uncontrollable urges to commit a horrendous crime. An uncontrollable urge to kill.

Bryan rage quit life by having a massive tantrum at the beautiful people he couldn't be..

Sickening brutality beyond words 😢 💔

Prosecution may have only mentioned touch DNA to continue to hold entire case close to their chest, but because of the in-close nature of the crime, would bet that they have other, non-touch dna as well. In fact Maddie's father alluded to that in an interview that was quickly pulled from the Internet. Was only up for about an hour.

My sister was brutally murdered with over 80 stab wounds and was stalked the week prior - never met the guy… this is absolutely 100% speculation

I’ve studied the criminal mind and case studies for over 50 years and this man is absolutely correct in what he is saying. 👍👏

Never be confidant for a slam dunk conviction... One can never predict what a Jury will do.

The beast may have just seen the four having fun on social media and began planning to stop their fun. From what I have heard on various reports, those girls lived on social media. If only there was a way to stop people from laying their lives wide open on those sites.

At one time Bryan was overweight then lost weight and became slender. I know a guy who when he was overweight was ignored by the popular pretty girls but when he buffed up they were all over him . On the outside he was smiling but on the inside seethed a deep rageful resentment toward females. I was stunned when he shared that. When I asked him why he said it was because he was the same person overweight as he was slender yet females had rejected him when he was overweight. Those feelings continue to this day. He's also extremely inteligent but treats women very harshly and unfeeling. Maybe rejection when he was overweight created Bryan's hatred of women.

I wish you stop talking about this case till June. Too much pretrial publicity might influence the jury.

Females rejecting a creepy guy who is belligerent and asks if they live alone isn’t bullying. That’s self preservation.

The videos of the 2 girls before the deaths shows the girls appear to be drunk. If that’s the case, that could be why they didn’t hear the killer come in because usually people who fall asleep in a drunken state are out for the count because of the effects of alcohol on the body so it would not be surprising that heard nothing until the killer was actually attacking them.

Revenge killing. Couldn’t take rejection just like OJ.

4 young people who had their whole life ahead of them were brutally murdered all because he took courses in being a murderer and he might have wanted to prove either to himself or others that he could do that and successfully get away with it even after being arrested because no one could prove he did it ‼️ DISGUSTING 🤬

What is the evidence of “genius”?

I woul like to know if or how universities screen their students before excepting them? Do they ask about previous mental illness or drug abuse? With B K having a background of both why would he make a good candidate for this type of education? He could have become a detective, police officer or even a professor one day! Yikes!,

Now everyone in the comments are psychologists and know what's wrong with this guy

They keep using the word genius but he didn’t even leave his phone at home when around that area and he left the sheath? And those are just the biggest stupid things he did. I’m seriously confused at how they are calling him a genius.

I am so interested in this case. It’s unreal.

These crimes are so evil & disgusting.

I agree 100%. He knew at least one or more of the victims.

When I was younger I used to go to the bars with a group of girls and the other men at the bar would see this and as the night progressed and the more they struck out with women they would focus their anger at me and my friends and want to start a fight. This situation is no different he was rejected and he killed those beautiful people because of his insecurities and his rotten persona.

Kids in town are spinning a completely different story. They're saying he was there to watch one of the people taking his survey as they committed the crime. That's why he asked was anyone else arrested ? They also said, that particular house was a "trap house"... a drug house, and that's why the cops weren't called until almost noon while they got rid of the drugs. That would also explain why the girls that lived... their phones were both making many calls before the cops were called. The parents supposedly are keeping quiet to keep their kids names out of it. They don't want their futures jeopardized by drug dealing charges, and the cops know about this part of it. They would have to if they checked all the kids phone records, you can't hide that.. They're also saying that there is still another threat at that school but won't say exactly what it is. A lot of students now have a license to carry and have guns on them. Sad that for political reasons and to protect the schools rep, the grownups are all going along with this shit. I hope if Brian participated or watched, he gets his just due. But, I also hope the whole truth comes out as there's some things that aren't adding up. If they don't address those things and Brian's defense does... that psycho could end up walking Scott Free !!!

He honestly doesn't look much different than most other college age kids. To look at him, I'd never guess he was a killer.

I kind of agree with the Former FBI agent. At some point he met one of the ladies, got rejected or she did not react to his advances favorably and thus could not be part of the group, the company he was seeking. The stalking is a indicator of his intent.

I just want him to tell what happened already. I hope he isn't one of those ones who just maintains his innocence 😕 everyone especially the family should know what this monster did and why.

Clearly the guy's not a genius... Let's drop that suggestion

Mental health issues don't account for choosing to kill people. Let's be very clear about that. Millions of people have mental health issues and DO NOT MURDER OTHERS. Legal experts should stick to talking about the law, not behavioral health.

I really don't understand why incels actually believe they just can't find a mate! OK, I'm kinda getting old, but it's like riding a bike. It goes like this: 1. Strike up a conversation, small talk, nothing serious. Make eye contact, and be cordial, and relaxed. Listen attentively. 2. Ask them if they are busy on __Friday evening 🌃 3. When you pick them up, have an assortment of cds or Playlists they can choose to listen to, or they can choose to just have a conversation. Ask them where they would like to go have dinner. You may need to ask before the date if you need to make reservations. 4. Take them to the mall, a park, beach, to watch a movie, bowling, putt-putt ⛳ golf, or just for a walk. 5. Do not try to kiss them on the first or second date. Do not expect sex! If you want a friend first, you have to become friends, the kind of friend you need and want. Most people are very uncomfortable having romance with a stranger, so don't rush it. It spoils the mystery of getting to know all about them, and building an attraction; instead of immediate gratification. Don't ever expect to have a sexual relationship based on your sextile needs. It's about love and romance. It's not about someone having to satisfy you. It is a 2 way street. Both must want it. It gets old if you expect it every day. Romance first. If your romantic partner is not feeling well, or is sick, or is tired, then make them some tea with 🍯 honey, and offer an Aleve or Tylenol or whatever they need, turn down the lights, and let them rest. 5. You must have daily self-care; excellent hygiene. You must groom your face. Go get a beautiful hairstyle or trim. 6. If you smoke and drink, it is better if you do that another time! It is much sexier and romantic if you are crystal clear and clean. If you're inebriated, your mate may feel disappointed. If you smoke that may turn them off. Even if they smoke, if they aren't smoking around you and might start after feeling comfortable with you. I sure hope this helps some incels. You can do it!!

Intelligent people can have problems fitting in when they are children and young adults. This can cause them to be rejected, ridiculed and bullied by their peers, which can adversely affect their sense of self-esteem, their emotional development and their ability to interact with others socially. This can lead to an accumulation of rage over time until the person eventually becomes a ticking time bomb.

Asking if there's ever been a case where someone is working in criminal justice and trying to get away with stuff is hilarious. This happens alllll the time. And the sad thing is, cops and the justice system usually have each other's backs.

Has he ever had a girlfriend. So far no one has come forward saying they dated and what type of person he was.

What has happened to this world to make so many people feel entitled? Entitled to literally everything. To the point you take innocent, beautiful LIVES! It’s disgusting.

He ignored the last question whether he knew about a similar perp inside the crime field and jumped to motive, which wasn't asked about.

Agree. Which is why there was a degree of personal association between Bryan and 1 or more of the victims. The two remaining survivors have to be very clear as to what happened.

I think I got a swipe from this guy on tinder, in PA, I am in PA. Anyways, yeah, crooked nose/ears. He had a bit of an unshaven face, but the crooked nose/ears, I even took a screen shot and sent it to my best friend because he freaked me out. His profile only said "I like exactly 3.8% of women on here". I was like what is the 3.8% thing about, but he creeped me out, I didn't swipe back, but he kept swipigng on me.

Bryan who they believe is AKA papa Rogers ( was paying his Respect to ROGER REECE KIBBE a serial killer who he studied. Roger kibbe died in February 2021

They were easy prey. They used no safety precautions not even locked doors, open door party house, unknown people in and out, even had parties when they weren't present, excessive use of alcohol/substances . They were sitting ducks.

He could have encountered one of the four and was turned down, stalked and into a rage upon the next encounter, every he had learned went out the window.

It’s not possible for a single person to kill 4 ppl and not have a wound on his person. It’s also not possible to murder 4 ppl with a knife and not have any blood in your car. Not possible to kill 3 women and none have any of his dna under their fingernails. Someone please explain how all these scenarios are possible.

Oh, look, it's another "former" FBI agent on RU-vid!

Wondering if BK’s DNA the only one found on the sheath? Also, if the cellphone signals were tracked for anyone living nearby would it show similar results?

I’m starting to see comments on here and Reddit of idiots saying that they feel sorry for BK, he deserves ZERO sympathy

Really think one of the girls was his obsession and maybe she didn't give him feedback he hoped and rejected. She may never knew she upset him.

I feel the motive is simple He wanted to see if he could get away with murder. He lived and breathed it through his entire life. I think it is something he thought about for a long time and had bent up frustration from years of feeling alone, no real emotions and no empathy plus the constant hatred he had for himself. It is a simple as that. He choose that house because it was a party house for years of having massive amounts of DNA, far away from his family. He learned the habits of the the occupants. I feel initially he only wanted to kill Madison but other factors lead him to kill the 3 other victims. I do not believe he saw the one surviving roommate and never knew she saw him. I think he thought about the consequences of getting caught and it intrigued him to live with like minded criminals because he would finally feel like he belonged. I feel he used a knife purely because he knew his mom hated guns and wrote about her displeasure.

That's good they have his dna from inside the crime scene. That must have been a lot of anger and hate to do all that pure evil and not have any remorse so glad they caught this person!

I believe this is closer to the truth. I never bought that he was a mastermind trying to commit the perfect crime.

I believe from the many many cases that I have looked into that although motive is not necessary for prosecution juries often find it to be a key piece in the decision that they make.

Great points.. as for motives… He is just crazy. No need for motives, is like a video game for him.

Quality interview, more of these please👏🏻

I had a Heroin addiction for 20 years. I have never and would never commit violence on anyone or anything. It's pretty messed up how all these news stations are speculating drawing lines between things that really know one has a clue about.

He'd been rejected his whole life. Since middle school. He could take it.

I've felt all along that this was revenge for some perceived rejection. He is highly dangerous and would strike again.

I agree with what the former FBI agent says. He knew one of these girls and was rejected by her.

I've thought from the beginning it was some sort of revenge. I think there was one victim, in particular, he was focused on, maybe two, but one had garnered his "focus" and I think it was M.M. .

So just because he has a degree- he's "highly intelligent" and a "genius"?? Apparently he's not that smart, he left his sheath behind and they caught in in a few weeks.. I don't think we should be giving him any type of praise.

Men get rejected by women all day every day. The vast vast majority of them get over it and move on. I think he was a predator looking for women to prey on, not simply reacting to being rejected. Possibly one of those women may have rejected him, but to him that would have just made her the target he was looking for. I don't think he was a basically normal guy who was triggered by being rejected. I don't think he was a predator because women rejected him. I think women rejected him because he was a predator.

The FBI agent says intelligent people are dangerous. Let's all be dumb so we can be safe, right ?

My exact thoughts. He told some one he can get any one he wanted at the clubs. I think one of them rejected him and he stalked them. I'm thinking the girl up stairs that worked with xana. Because the one girl up stairs was moved out and visiting that night. It's just so hard to imagine him being able to do this with out waking everyone up and then over powering him. . Im guessing xana and Ethan confronted him and after killing them he was exhausted and got out of there. Dyl is very lucky she froze. He could have got her too. I can't wait to see this guy convicted. What a pos. ( i think this guy has killed someone or something before. Or had alot of practice imo. He was ready to kill. I just don't see how a rookie can butcher 4 ppl like that. Unless one attack turned into kind of like a self defense situation. Like he had to get anyone who tried to stop him after the first kill. If that makes sense).. hard to believe he had plans to kill more than one. Maybe one day he will talk so its more clear what happened and why. He holds the answers many want

It’s not rue that he had no emotions. Envy is definitely a negative one. Feeling rejected and humiliated are both emotions. You should say that he had no positive emotions………but he had plenty of “bad”ones.

Do we all agree… if he was not caught. He would have DEFINITELY killed again?

New Yorker just ran an article on The Rage of the Incels. What he is. So terrifying that these people exist.

I think he was like one of the unexploded bombs they find in the ground in Europe. They are just waiting for someone to stumble across them by accident. Perhaps the stumble happens because a woman was not interested in the perpetrator. Most people do not like being snubbed by someone else, but they let it go without trying to even the score through violence, because they can foresee the bad consequences for their future lives, such as prison.

It is projecting his pain on others. They have the joy of life that he desperately wants so he feels like he wants them to feel the pain of the not so neuro typical. Just like a poor man stealing from the rich. He had to level the playing field.

I heard two things that gives me an idea of how they came in contact. 1: he requested vegan food. 2: one or 2 of the girls worked at a vegan restaurant. I believe then he was either treated a certain way when maybe showing interest or being creepy and at some point followed them home before stalking the residence

I don't think he knew them personally, but initially picked them based on the house layout and location. He knew it would be easy to get through those sliding doors, and the rear of the house offered the cover of trees.

Koh berger studied psychology like the sickest psychos do 😵

its more like a experiment killings especially since he's studying criminology

It could have been a specific revenge against one person or a more general revenge against women,or he simply wanted to know what it is like to kill people. Nobody really knows at this point except maybe the perp himself,and he may not even know,like he went from stalking to just snapped and went in on an impulse and stabbed people until he burned his urge out and left in sort of a daze or maybe in panic at what he had done. Guess guess guess and theorize is all we can do until more info comes. As for the knife,it could have been tossed into a river as has been suggested but that is uncertain too. Give it time,maybe we will get to know,maybe not.

Leave it to the FBI (or former) to come up with THAT hot take two months later.

Why do creeps feel so free and empowered to approach women, while the nice guys leave you hanging and wondering? Then the nice guys wonder "why do women date creeps?" Umm...because they keep asking, and we get tired of waiting for the nice guy to stop treating us like wallpaper, and show some interest.

I don’t think “why” will make anyone feel better. 😢

Although a horrific and tragic crime, I enjoyed your guest and his thoughts and insights.

You know he 'advertised' for criminals to share their stories with him for research, I don't think got a reply so decided to do it himself, thinking he could get away with it. Absolutely horrendous.

If he committed another murder prior to idaho4, if he used his knife in the first one, and also committed this idaho4 then that knife is symbolic to him and my guess is he put it someplace safe for him to retrieve again if he gets out gets away with this murder too

GOD BLESS THE SOULS OF THE PEOPLE WHO LOST THIER LIFE. IN JESUS NAME AMEN HOWEVER, THIS WAS AN EVIL RAGE ACT ON THESE PEOPLE. NEED TO STILL BE COMING THROUGH THIS HOUSE AND TAKING FINGER PRINTS ECT. COLLECT EVIDENCE.

I totally agree with the FBI agent

Does it affect anyone else, still every time I see their cars all lined up. It breaks my heart, just like the first day we heard of this horrific crime. The thought these poor kids would never drive those cars again is just so sad 💔😩

Just days before the homicides, BK was basically shamed for being too strict grading students (as a TA). I believe this may have been humiliating for BK which would check the boxes for (a)the revenge motive (using subjects he’d already surveilled) & (b) why he was so sloppy in accomplishing that objective (poor planning, anger-fuelled impulsivity).

The motive is this man didn’t know how to control himself so he attacked these women, men can’t keep there hand off women
